Aloha Amigos! This is my very first submission, and I hope you all enjoy it! It's based somewhat on my own experiences and the experiences of others... as well as my love for bad-boy Inuyasha in a modern-day setting. Read on! =D
CAUTION: Character Alert! Sorry boys and girls, but to tie the story together well, Sesshomaru (aka Lord Fluffy) is a little out-of-character at times... but he doesn't play a very big role in this fic, and so hopefully you can get past that little inconsistency. He just plays the part of Inu's big brother.
With that said, ENJOY!
It was Monday morning, and the summer sun was beating down on the students of Tokyo General High who had been unfortunate or just foolish enough not to have hitched a ride. Kagome Higurashi and Sango Kyairo just happened to be two of those students, and they were both sweating under light, green and white school uniforms.
Kagome moaned. "Argh, I can't walk one more step!" she exclaimed, huffing as she dragged her enormous yellow backpack along the ground.
"Well, be thankful," said Sango, tugging at the mandatory red ribbon tight around her neck. "The guys have to wear heavy uniforms that are completely black!" She looked over to see a young man on the other side of the street, puffing, sweat rolling down his forehead as he adjusted his heavy backpack upon his shoulders. Sango shook her head sympathetically. "Poor guy."
Just then, a rusted-up black pick-up truck swerved around the corner, heavy metal music blaring from out of its windows. Kagome shrieked, and stalled right in the line of the truck like a deer in the headlights. Sango jumped and in a spilt second, tackled Kagome and they both rolled into a ditch. The pick-up's monster wheels rolled over the pavement where the two shell-shocked girls had just been standing.
"Oh my god," whispered Kagome, her eyes wide with fear. Sango looked at her and knew what was coming. "Oh my god. We were nearly - OH MY GOD! WE WERE NEARLY KILLED YOU STUPID ASS!" Kagome screamed at the black truck as it drove off. "DON'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH COURTESY TO STOP AND SEE IF YOU MURDERED US YOU IDIOT! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF YOU WERE NEARLY RUN OVER BY A MONSTER CAR! DID YOU JUST ESCAPE FROM THE ASYLUM OR SOME - "
Sango clapped her hand over Kagome's mouth. "Kags, stop it. You know that's not going to help."
Kagome shoved Sango's hand away and glared at her. "Well maybe it'll make them feel a bit guilty."
"Angry more like," muttered Sango, standing up and pulling her best friend out of the ditch. Kagome stood up and shook the dirt off of her once pristine uniform. She looked back onto the street ahead of them, and put her arm out to stop Sango.
"What is it?" Sango asked, looking at Kagome questioningly.
"That truck's coming back," said Kagome, glaring down the street at the rusty pickup as it drove back towards them. "Get ready to jump back into the ditch if they so courteously decide to run us over again."
The driver seemed to know what they were thinking, and slowed down as he got closer to the two girls. The window rolled down to reveal a very handsome demon with long silver hair and golden eyes. A sliver of a blue moon was painted upon his forehead, and stripes of rose pink upon his cheeks. He peered out at Kagome and Sango, looking just slightly concerned. He spoke something, but neither girl could hear him over the blaring rock music.
"WHAT?" Kagome shouted.
"ARE YOU TWO - " The young man stopped yelling and shook his head. He turned the music way down and looked back at Kagome and Sango. "Are you two okay?" he asked gruffly.
"Just scared out of a year's growth, that's all," muttered Kagome under her breath, "So you nearly killed us, big deal…"
Sango gave her a hard nudge. "Um, well nothing but our pride is damaged," she said.
"Good then," said the man roughly. He looked them over. "Sorry for nearly running you over, I'm late for work…"
"Oh, no bigee," said Sango, smiling. At least he had enough deference to apologize. And, he was pretty cute too…
"Uh, do you guys want a ride?" he asked, noticing their sweaty faces.
"Er…" Sango looked at Kagome. "Should we?" she mouthed.
"He just nearly killed us!" Kagome mouthed back furiously.
Sango turned back to the youkai, smiling. "Sure, we'd love a ride."
Like it? Hope so! It's sort of short, but there's more to come! Review!
