So since it's AU week on Tumblr and I'm a better writer than artist, I figured I should try and write something! Honestly, this isn't the best representation of my writing. I normally focus much more on description and details than dialogue but for some reason my brain was like 'hey! im gonna fuck you over and for some god forsaken reason make you write basically all dialogue!' I think I'll do a few more installments over the course of the week but idk?
The bell made a small ding! as the door hit it, indicating that someone had entered the shop. The smell of coffee so early in the morning made his nose tingle, providing him with one of the few scents that he enjoyed in the city.
Inuyasha had begun coming to the coffee shop, the Feudal Grind, since he started his Junior year at Toyko University a few days ago. He liked to think that the odd name was because the coffee was so ground and fresh that it crushed the competition and not because they used some sort of feudal weapons to grind up their coffee in the back. He nearly shuddered at the thought.
As he once again took in the homey atmosphere of the small shop and approached the counter, he noticed that the person working the counter wasn't one he'd seen before. He nearly fell over. Two words popped into his head.
New girl.
The poor girl. She had no idea what she was in for.
Her long raven hair was pulled up in a short ponytail and her eyes were bright brown. Coffee colored. How ironic. He thought dryly to himself. She had on a dark green, collared shirt on under her apron. She smiled brightly at him as she saw him approaching the counter and his heart nearly stopped for a second.
He leaned casually on the counter, checking his watch and growled.
"Hello! My name is Kagome! Welcome to the Feudal Grind! How may I help you, sir?" she asked cheerfully He blew his silver locks out of his face and stared up at her.
"Ya. I'll probably need a notepad."
She tipped her head in confusion but grabbed the nearest pen and pad.
"I'd like a Venti Iced Skinny Hazelnut Macchiato, sugar-free syrup with an Extra Shot,light ice, and no whip."
She gave him a very confused look. "Sir, you lost me at sugar free." He sighed and stood up, scratching his head carefully with his claws
"Figures. The damn bastard doesn't know anything simpler." Inuyasha muttered darkly under his breath. "Ok, I'll go slowly." She nodded her head and looked determinedly down at her pad. "A Venti Iced. Skinny Hazelnut Macchiato. Sugar-free syrup with an extra shot, light ice, and no whip. Ya get it that time? She quickly scanned over the notepad and read it out aloud just to make sure she got it right. He gave her an approving nod and her face lit up.
"Anything else for you, sir?"
"Ya. Tall coffee with 5 sugar and cream." He explained, picking at his claws and she laughed.
"Couldn't you have started off with that?"
"Keh. Just testin' you out is all." He gave a lazy smirk and she smirked back.
"Throw whatever you want at me."
"Does that include coffee?"
"Somehow I think you're hoping for a 'yes'?"
"Keh." He rolled up the sleeves of his red and black flannel shirt, exposing his sleeve tattoos.
She once again laughed, starting to pick up his pattern. "What name would you like those under?"
"Inuyasha."
"Alright then, Inuyasha, those should be out in about 5 minutes. You can have a seat and I'll call you when they're done."
"Thanks." He murmured as she moved into the kitchen, taking her notepad with her while humming to herself. He promptly found an empty table and sat down, taking a quick glance at his watch again. That moron was late, again by 15 minutes! He began drumming his claws against the table table harshly, putting little rivets in the table top and annoying everyone else in the shop. The bell ding! ed again and Inuyasha's head snapped up to see none other than the ungrateful pervert prance in and sit down, all while Inuyasha glared at him while the man sat across from him with a mocking smile.
"Well?" He said crossly.
"Well what?" The man sing songed back, obviously turning a blind eye to Inuyasha's aggressiveness.
"Where the fuck have you been! By the time I get our coffees I'll have to sprint back to my dorm and then sprint to class, you dumbass! And that's with my demon speed!" Inuyasha raised a fist threateningly.
"Woah calm down. I'm sure I'll make it. Why didn't you just take your stuff with you? Or take your car?"
"Because when I got here I back plenty of time to walk back and get my stuff, you rotten excuse for a monk!"
"No need to insult my occupation, Inuyasha."
"Can it, Miroku." Inuyasha lowered his fist and slamming it not so gently on the table.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome's voice rang out. Inuyasha sprang up from his chair and slurred out an 'I'll be right back' before striding over to the counter, his hands stuffed in the pockets of his jeans while Miroku just tipped his chair back, his hands behind his head, watching.
"Here you are!" She pushed his drinks out to his side of the counter. "That'll be 1296.14 yen, please." He grumbled as he managed to fish out 1300 yen and hand it to Kagome. "Thank you." He thanked her, picking up his coffees and was about to turn back to his table to beat up Miroku when he heard a quick 'Wait!' and soft hand on his shoulder.
Almost dropping the the coffees in surprise, Inuyasha turned back around to see the young girl with half of her body hanging over the counter. She quickly pulled herself back over to her side of the counter, a light shade of pink adorning her face.
He gave her a questioning look. "What?"
"Well, I was just wondering if you wanted to get together maybe tomorr- Hey is that Miroku?" Miroku suddenly shot up from his seat at the sound of his name.
"Oh hey Kagome!" Miroku waved making his way over to them. "Inuyasha didn't know it was Kagome was the little sweetheart you were talking about earlier at the tab- oooow!" Miroku mocked injury, rubbing his forearm delicately where Inuyasha had punched him. Kagome merely shook her head and smiled.
"Ha ha. Very funny, Miroku." Inuyasha spat.
"I know Miroku through my best friend, Sango." Kagome explained, trying to change the subject. "I just got a text this morning from her actually warning me that he'd be coming in."
Miroku looked perplexed. "I wonder why she'd do that…"
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you have a weird obsession with making the most obnoxious coffee orders ever." Inuyasha shoved his coffee over to him. Inuyasha stole a quick glance at his watch.
"Shit. I'm gonna be late damn it!" Inuyasha downed his coffee and threw it in the trash can.
"Wait! Inuyasha!" But Inuyasha was out the door before she could say another word. Kagome let out a sigh and rested her cheek on in the palm of her hand as Miroku sipped his coffee.
"Don't worry. He'll be back." Miroku winked at her
