Sorry for the wait, I don't often get a chance to post any of my stories. I have 3 written but I can't find a moment free to update. So, if I don't update right away, please be patient! I WILL TRY! Thank you.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, obviously, because if I did, I wouldn't be writing these. A few characters of my own are in here, because I couldn't think of who to play that part (like his grandma)
The Broken One
"I'm going out!" Inuyasha yelled as he walked out the door.
"Inuyasha!" His Grandmother Arani yelled, "Can you get some more miso paste for tomorrow's dinner?"
"Whatever" Came the reply as he walked off.
I can never get any time to myself! It's always Inuyasha do this, or fetch this. It never used to be this way.
He started heading to the specialty food store a few blocks away.
I wish I could just go to a normal supermarket instead. But there aren't any here. Sure, everyone around here shops at that place. Just because it sells all that fancy food fit for all the wealthy people around here, not to mention all the foreign food you can think of. Oak Tree Acres is too ritzy for me; I want to go live in our neighboring city where I can buy some REAL food.
When he arrived, he grabbed the miso his grandma asked for, and large chocolate truffle for himself.
Dammit! All they have that's really chocolaty are these things! What I wouldn't do for a Hershey's right about now!
He checked out, and walked to his spot in the woods. He always went there to think, or just to get away. There were plenty of clearings, but his was the deepest in. Once there he climbed is favorite Oak tree, one with plenty of notches to sit in, and a wonderful view. There he could look down and see Oak Tree Acres, with is huge houses and neat lawns. He was able to look out on the two sides of this secluded neighborhood that were surrounded by forest, the clear lake on another, and finally, the city, where he longed to live.
In another year I can move outta this place and live my own life out in the city, where I'm not treated like some rich brat. It's not easy here. We moved here from Japan, and were welcomed at first, until they saw me, now I'm treated like trash. I can't help it if I'm a Hanyou! The city might not be so different, but at least there I can wear a hat or something to cover my ears, without being seen as a hooligan.
He settled down, and drifted off into a light doze. When he woke up, the sun had almost set, and he could smell the scent of warm food coming from his house. He jumped out of the tree and headed back home.
All of a sudden, there was a strange scent in the air. He tried to identify it, but it had already faded, whisked away by the wind.
It's probably nothing. He thought as he continued on.
Dinner was simple, grilled salmon and white rice. Inuyasha just picked at it, still thinking about that odd scent.
"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Arani asked.
"Nothing. I'm just thinking."
"You're just quieter than usual."
What is she talking about? I never talk at dinner. Well, I should at least be thankful that Grandmother prefers simpler foods, and sends out orders for some regular food from the city. I would die without my ramen.
"I'm going to my room." He said, standing up.
"Alright, Inuyasha." Sighed Arani.
He walked up the broad spiral staircase that was the central point of the mansion, and climbed until he reached the highest point. His room also had a view, and occupied the spacious, finished attic. It wasn't huge, large yes, but not huge, and had a balcony overlooking the city. Not that he ever used it, He preferred to jump onto the roof and sit there. He lay on his back, staring at the stars.
He sat upright in an instant. There it was again. That strange smell was now stronger than ever, and this time he knew what it was. It was the smell of human blood, and it was coming from the forest, from his clearing. He jumped gracefully off the roof, landed, and started running.
What will be waiting when I arrive?
Well, tell me what you think! I really want to hear what you have to say before I continue! This is only my 2nd posted fic; so don't expect it to be the best… I will accept flames, I respect all your opinions! Also, the chapters WILL get longer!Thanks, Twilight
