Flash, click, crowd, gossip; those were the things that the paparazzi were notorious for. They didn't care whether or not it would hurt or benefit anyone, as long as it was juicy it was worth something.
Inuyasha Takahashi didn't care if he was famous or rich or the most handsome man in Japan. He just wanted them out of his damn driveway.
It was like this all the time. They followed him to work, to restaurants even to the doctors. Anything he looked at, touched, or breathed on was considered gold to them and they attacked like a murder of crows attracted to a shine.
Reluctantly, Inuyasha got out of his four-poster bed and slowly descended the stairs to go and yell at the doorman to do his job.
The doorman quickly shooed away the reporters and annoying cameras and hastily closed the gates surrounding the Takahashi estate.
"What was that all about Inuyasha?" Inuyasha's wife asked as she woke from her sleep.
"Nothing at all honey, it's all unimportant. You rest I'm going to go check up on the baby." Inuyasha said in a hushed voice. His wife gave a grunt before closing her eyes again.
Yes, Inuyasha had a son. A one-week old infant, with dark black hair and the deepest shade of violet eyes, much like Inuyasha himself.
He tip-toed upstairs to go and entered the baby's room. He slowly opened the door and it creaked and moaned against the metal hinges. He walked over to the crib and looked in.
Inuyasha could have dropped dead right there. In the crib, there was...nothing. Wide-eyed, Inuyasha rushed down to his bedroom.
"The baby's gone!" Inuyasha shouted as he entered his bedroom.
"What about it Inuyasha?" his wife asked. Inuyasha had a look of disbelief etched upon his face.
"WHAT ABOUT IT? THE BABY IS GONE! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK IT MEANS?" Inuyasha yelled with fury.
"I honestly don't care." his wife said with as much nonchalance as Inuyasha's older brother, Sesshomaru. Inuyasha's heart skipped a beat as he heard these words come out of his wife's mouth. Inuyasha's son whom was mothered by Kikyo, albeit unwanted by the latter, was no more than a week old.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO KIKYO?" Inuyasha roared with uncontainable wrath.
(gah...pains me just to temporarily marry Inuyasha to her *shivers*)
"The baby was getting on my nerves so I just went down to the river by the bridge, put it in a box, and let him float down the river." Kikyo said as she rolled her eyes.
"YOU WHAT!" Inuyasha screamed. The thing he prized most, gone because of his wife. Without his wife noticing, he pulled out his cell-phone and pressed record.
"I left the baby in a box and let it float down the river." Kikyo said with as much indifference as the last time she announced it. "It was cutting into our social life." Inuyasha quickly put his cell-phone away.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU BITCH" Inuyasha shouted before he dashed from the room and quickly entered his garage.
Getting into his car he opened the garage and gate and slammed on the accelerator. He drove as fast as he could to the bridge that connected his private inland, just off the coast, to the mainland. On the mainland side, there was a small river called the Sei. This river was special, because instead of heading out to sea, it flowed inward. It lead to a popular park and eventually ended at Lake Sei.
Parking haphazardly, Inuyasha rushed out of his car and frantically searched the river, the park and the lake. There were no signs of the baby.
Grieved beyond all realm of possibility, he had returned home and immediately called the police. He ordered a divorce, with no share of his mass fortune going to Kikyo at all. He was easily able to turn the court against her with the recorded statement of his phone.
She was sentenced to 5 years prison time on the account of abandonment and abuse of a child. Inuyasha ridden with grief, returned home a changed man. He should of known all those years that Kikyo had only married him for the money and fame. Nonetheless, he was glad it was a short marriage, only one year of her being his wife was a blessing.
He would go on searching for another year, never to find a trace of his son. Inuyasha gave up hope, but prayed that one day he would be reunited with him.
Inuyasha may have been rich, famous, handsome, and powerful, but the one thing that he ever truly wanted in life was never truly given to him: Love.
At least...that's what he thought.
And so begins the Drama!
Anyways this is my second story for Inuyasha! My first one I have under re-editing at the moment. Please enjoy!
