Good afternoon readers. I have another story for you. I am by no means giving up on my other story; I just got this idea and had to write it down. It's a modern day Inuyasha X Kouga (surprise, surprise) fanfic. It's the story of what happens when Inuyasha has to move in with his brother in America after his parents are killed in a hit and run car accident. Now, in a strange new country, he has to face a perverted next-door neighbor, a new high school, and the loss of his parents. And when a… I'm giving away too much. Read the story and find out what happens. Hope you enjoy, and here's the first chapter of Life and Love in the New World, by: Lizzy-sama…

Life and Love in the New World

Chapter One: Welcome to America

By: Lizzy-sama

"Inuyasha. It's time to go." Sesshomaru said sadly as his younger brother looked around the empty apartment for the last time. To say it was a hard month for Inuyasha would be the understatement of the millennium. First, his girlfriend, Kagome, broke up with him when he told her he was bi. Then, his entire world shattered when his parents were killed in a hit and run car crash. Now he, still being a minor, had to leave his home in Tokyo, Japan, for his brother's house in Dallas, Texas. Sesshomaru had left Japan three years prior to make his fortune in the New World. He may not have become uber-rich, but he is still quite well-off. He's now the CEO of Texas Instruments, and makes a six-figure salary.

"Yeah, I guess. I… just can't believe that they're gone." Inuyasha mumbled as tears began to fill his eyes. Sesshomaru slipped his arm around the smaller boy and pulled him into a tight hugs as Inuyasha cried into his brother's shoulder. The two stood like that for several minutes until Inuyasha pulled away and wiped his eyes. Then, the two made their way to the Tokyo Airport, got on Inuyasha's first airplane, and left the Land of the Rising Sun, forever.

The flight to America was a terrifying one for Inuyasha. The entire time he was in the air, Inuyasha clenched the armrests with all his might. When they hit some turbulence over Hawaii, Inuyasha threw up seven times in a row. When the plane finally landed in Dallas, Inuyasha finally released the armrests and practically sprinted off the plane. The duo soon had their bags and they made their way to the parking lot, where Sesshomaru's convertible waited.

"Wow, that's your car!" Inuyasha exclaimed as he stared at the sleek, black convertible.

"Yes," Sesshomaru said proudly.

"It's the nicest car I've ever seen."

"I'm glad you like it, now get in." The two drove to a medium-sized town just outside of Dallas, where he lived.

"So, Sesshomaru, where will I be going to school?"

"You will be attending Farthing Academy starting Monday. It's the best school in the state. I will accept only the best for my baby brother."

"T-thanks."

"It's no problem."

"However, you will have to go with my neighbor's son to school. I can't take you, and you can't drive."

"I can drive."

"Ah, but where will you get a car?"

"Touché."

"Well, we're here." Sesshomaru pulled into the garage of his rather large house, "It's not much, but its home."

"Not much! It's way bigger than any house in Tokyo."

"That's because there isn't much land in Tokyo, or Japan for that matter, so land is expensive. By comparison, land in America is actually quite cheap."

"I'll say."

"Well, lets get you unpacked; then I'll introduce you to Kouga."

"Who's Kouga?"

"He's the one who'll be taking you to school."

"Ah."

"Get your bags." The two spent most of the afternoon unpacking; they ate a small dinner, and then went next door to introduce Inuyasha to Kouga. Sesshomaru pressed the doorbell and waited. They heard footsteps from inside and when the door opened, Inuyasha's breath hitched. Standing before him was the most handsome man he had ever seen. He had long black hair tied up into a pony tail, perfectly accentuating his striking blue eyes. But what caused Inuyasha the most shock was the fact that he was shirtless. Inuyasha could see the well defined abs and pectorals. He wasn't too muscled, yet he was muscled enough. Inuyasha felt a blush develop on his cheeks. And hoped the fading light would keep it hidden.

"Ah, Kouga, just the man I wanted to see. This is my brother Inuyasha. The one I wanted you to take to and from school." Sesshomaru said, a light smile on his face as he noticed Inuyasha's blush.

"Wow Sesshy, you didn't tell me he was this cute." Kouga answered with a smirk on his face.

"Inuyasha, say hello."

"Konnichiha." Inuyasha said as he held out his hand, which Kouga promptly shook.

"Nice to meet ya, 'Yasha."

"I-it's Inuyasha."

"Whatever."

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow."

"S-see ya."
