Hey, guys. This is an old story I'm revisiting. I'm going through the chapters, rewriting, expanding. Bare with me!


"Inuyasha, you have to see the rest of the world sometime!" Inuyasha's mother screamed at a completely unnecessary decibel. "I'm going to stop putting your dinner through the dog door soon!" she threatened. "There's someone here I think you should talk to."

He had already picked up her scent. It was much sharper than he remembered, but unmistakable. He closed his eyes, and inhaled deeply. Cherry blossoms with a hint of something deep, darker. So many emotions. It reminded him of countless nights with his face buried in her hair, limbs intertwined. It brought back so many dates, kisses, secret smiles. And then last night... He shook his head, sending long silver strands around his face.

Inuyasha snapped back into reality as his ears picked up more conversation. "I'm sorry he won't come out, Kikyo." his mom whispered, "He was so happy when you two were dating. I don't know what went wrong."

"It's okay; he's probably too stubborn or guilty to apologize to me, yet. You know how my little Inu can be sometimes." replied Kikyo, an arrogant smirk in her voice. "Give him time."

It was a crisp spring night, the moon shone a silver veil over the alley as Inuyasha took a short cut on his way home. A couple was kissing passionately near by, a fury of hands and clothes, their identities obscured by long dark hair. He kept walking, making a comment under his breath about privacy, till he got a glimpse of the woman's face. He froze, and she noticed, pulling herself off her partner, a look of distress on her face. It was none other than Inuyasha's girlfriend, Kikyo, cheating on him with his arch enemy, the wolf demon, Koga. She sputtered excuses and apologies as she tried to regain composure, but Inuyasha would hear none of it.

"You fucking whore!" Inuyasha screamed, "How could you?!"

Inuyasha ran home, his silver hair hiding his tears.

He choked on tears, the memory too much for him. Why didn't he smell them the instant he walked into the alley? Or even Koga on her when she was with Inuyasha? He pushed the questions away, curling up on his rumpled bed. Once again, Inuyasha's long silver hair hid his tears over Kikyo.
