Hello everyone Crescendo here with another fanfic though i haven't worked on the others as much (Well hardly at all whether it be from writer's block having a hard time getting to it or this fanfic i'm writing on my mind.) I hope you all enjoy this! Now i must give credit due where it is due. This fanfic was only given shape by a writer named PhoenixDiamond She is wonderful and amazing. It was only because of her wondrous work of art Lead Me not into Temptation that i even came up with this! It is so well written and just ugh! You will love it i guarantee it! I hope she doesn't mind that this idea came to fruit from her writing...This story is dedicated to her in thanks for all her hard work and amazing stories! So Phoenix Thanks for being an amazing writer, and inspiring me. Edit note: I looked back over this chapter and realized i switched from Inuyasha's I to his and back. I hope that can be ignored and I refuse to change it just yet….I am trying really hard to work on my writing and get things done and make it pleasurable….it;s my first time writing like this with each story I progress a little more. I know on my other stories I practically beg for reviews but as far this one goes...it's all up to you because it will be written anyways. There is only one person I am writing this for, Well technically two, Phoenix and my mama Nikkie. No i'm not trying to be harsh just being honest cause i'm pretty sure I will be getting some flames and I'm ok with that.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!
My name is Inuyasha Heartsaharu. I am 16 years old, I have medium length platinum hair. (Mama says it shines like silver starlight.) umm let's see I have pale skin and one jagged purple stripe on each cheek and my wrist, eyes like liquid gold and a body to kill for. (Lord forgive me for my vanity!) I am a senior in Higarashi high. ( My principle skipped me two grades, told my mama and daddy i was too smart for my own good.) I like to think I am a good example of what a good wholesome boy should be, but sometimes the devil grabs ahold of me.
Like now...I am standing listening to Sister Onigumo, Well truth be told...I'm trying to listen, but the sister's voice is so bland and disintered that I just can't seem to follow what she's saying. It's hotter than the seven pits of hell in here and frankly Shippo is starting to get on my nerves with all his crying. Lord please shut that little hellion up! "Brother Heartsaharu!" My eyes snapped to Sister Onigumo's disapproving look.
My throat felt thick as my cheeks heated and ear's laid flat back against my skull, did i miss something? "Brother?!" There she went again with that grating voice of hers, better answer or she might go and tattle to my mama. "Yes ma'am?" That's right Inuyasha just be respectful don't snap at the biddy, lower your eyes and look remorseful. "Is everything okay?" Wait what? Why is she asking me that? I can't help but chew on my lower lip, fang worrying over the skin. "No ma'am I was just thinking about how much we are all blessed with the light of the lord shining over us." (Once again Lord forgive me for sinning on your grounds.)
That seemed to be the correct response if her beaming face was anything to go by. "Yes Brother Heartsaharu the Lord blesses us everyday, God is good! Hmm mmm God is good!" I watched her throw her hand up as her head fell back as she looked heavenward. (God, please don't strike this trifling woman down, cause everyone know's she got a thing for my friend Miroku's dad. Hell- Lord forgive me- Heck, Miroku caught her all over him not even two months after his mother's funeral!) I couldn't help but grimace in disgust, ugh not to mention Shippo was still wailing from the tongue lashing she had given him for getting dirty under her supervision...I tried my best to block out all of the background static and just lose myself to the turmoil inside my head, but no such luck apparently.
"Shippo, If you don't hush that crying up!", who in the seven he- I gritted my teeth and let out a small hiss, the poor little kitsune was crying harder now and it tore at my heart, what in the heck was wrong with this woman?! She may be the pastor's wife but that certainly wouldn't save her from god's wrath. Shouting at a small 5 year old, this woman needed god to lay his pimp hand down on her and strong! I couldn't take it anymore, while everyone else remained silent I spoke up.
"That's enough Sister Onigumo! Can't you see that you're frightening the poor child half to death!" I started to make my way down the steps as i talked, "Or do you not have sense enough to know that children should be treated with patience and understanding?!" I could hear the selective gasp, everything went deathly silent as I approached the small kitsune and picked him up. I held him close to my chest as his tiny chubby arms wrapped about my neck, he wept tears into my white button up shirt.
"Excuse you?" I snorted seems she had regained her composure. "You heard me, and I'm not in the habit of repeating myself." I just knew my butt was going to be sore tonight after this but, I couldn't stop myself. Bullying a child, where does this woman get off? It's not like I didn't offer to watch the children, but oh no she can handle it all by herself. I distinctly remember her saying "Oh no Brother Heartsaharu, I can handle the wee ones go on in and get the choir started on practice. I'll be in as soon as the children's parents get here!" Then she had shooed me away, however poor little Shippo's parents were running late.
Now the woman was all rattled and lashing out. I tuned everything out and took Shippo into the children's room and sat in a chair with him. "B-b-brudder!" The boy sobbed with a lisp. I patted his back trying to sooth him, poor thing was all worked up, so much that his chubby cheeks were red as well as the tip of his nose...and his usually perky tail was limp between his legs. I sighed even though my throat hurt -In my defense I had a competition at school with my acapella group, and might I say, now don't take it the wrong way cause i ain't in anyway bragging...we won.
I cleared my throat noisily and began to sing the first song that came to mind - My girl by the Temptations. "I've got sunshine on a cloudy dayyy. When it's cloudy outside, I got the month of Mayyyyyy…..I guess you'd say, What can make me feel this way?" Shippo cut in as he snuffled "MY GURLLLLLLLLLL!" I had to fight back a smile, his little voice was so rough and unsuited for the song that it was quite enduring. "I've got so much honey the bees envy me. I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees," I continued to sing, Shippo cutting in at every my girl part and belting the words out and giggling afterwards like it was the most fun he had had in years. By the time we had finished our duet, the boy was beaming from head to toe, good that means that Sister Onigumo was out of the boys mind. "Brudder Yasha?" The small kit questioned as he sat in my lap.
"Hmmm hmmm?" his green little eyes were sparkling like jade and he seemed to be contemplating something. "Shippo, is sorry….you're going to get in trouble aren'tcha ya?" He averted his eyes guilt weighing down on his small shoulders. I couldn't help the chuckle rising in the back of my throat. "Nah, don't worry about. Big brother will always look after you, how many times do I have to tell you kit? We may not have the same blood running in our veins but to me," I thumped my chest where my heart should be, "You are my baby brother." (This is the point where I should probably mention that the little kitsune was a foster child having lost his parent's to the sea during a vacation they were taking. Lucky for him though his foster parent's were vivid church goers which is how we met.) Shippo's eyes lit up and he wrapped his arms around my neck trying to squeeze me for all he was worth.
A voice cleared as Shippo's adoptive mother Mikato stood in the doorway , "I am so sorry! I didn't mean to be late." She apologized sheepishly. "Oh it was no problem Sister Lee. Anytime you need a babysitter just let my mama know and I would happily watch the little tyke." I let Shippo go as he screamed mama and scampered to the pretty blond haired woman. Mikato swept her son into her arms doting over him before looking back at me with appreciative brown eyes. "Thank you, your so good with him. I praise god every day he brung little Shippo in our lives and that he has such a good elder brother like you." Well heck! She had heard that little part huh? My cheeks heated up as I swiped under my nose embarrassed. "Not a problem." I muttered as she turned her back and carried the waving boy out, I gave a small shake of my hand. Taking a deep breath i stood up, it was time for me to head home and face the music…
"INUYAHSA HEARTSAHARU!" Flinching i hunched my shoulders, I hadn't even gotten completely in the door when I heard mama shouting my name. "Y-yes ma'am." I all but whimpered as I headed for the parlor where i knew she would be. I glanced up spotting daddy sitting in his famous chair by the fireplace, he didn't even look my way. "Boy did the devil jump into you and take over your body today?" My mama questioned eyes narrowed, hands on her hips as she tapped her foot.
I didn't know what to say, it was clear as crystal that mama was very unhappy with my behavior. "Izayoi give the boy a chance to catch his breath a-" Mama turned on daddy as he tried to give me some leeway. "Goura, don't you dare try to take his side!" She wagged her finger in my daddies face scowling. "Daddy it's okay," I turned my gaze on my mother. "Mama i'm right awful sorry I disappointed you, but I won't apologize." Mama's beautiful amethyst eyes widened in shock before narrowing. "What did you just say to me?" She demanded in that high soprano's voice of hers.
"Mama I can't- No I won't apologize to her! You weren't there, that woman was yelling and terrifying poor little Shippo to no end! I had to do something." Father gave me a look that told me to wait for my words to process. Mother just stood there thinking, before she gave in face softening, "What exactly happened?" So I told her everything about how i had offered to help and then how we had all heard her yelling at poor little Shippo before spanking him (I'm more then sure she did with the loud yelp we all heard!)...How she yelled at him for crying...Mama shook her head and only whispered "Lord, help that woman." Daddy stood up and hugged mama's thin shoulders. "See Izayoi, Our son was only doing the lords work and stepping in on his behalf." This is why i admired daddy, he was always taking up for me and spoiling me rotten.
I firmly believed that when god created daddy that he created a saint, and when he created mama he created an avenging angel of war- Like Gabriel. Now don't go getting me wrong I love my mother to death, and she could be sweeter than honey...let's just say if daddy was a god fearing man, mama was...well god's own bodyguard she feared nothing and no one, if she believed it was the lords will she would carry out her orders without a regret.
It might come as a surprise to some people, but my mama ruled this family, and ruled she did...with an iron fist. Poor daddy was no match for mama, pfft no demon could stand up to my mother even if she were a human. Mama always seemed to be trying to prove herself to everyone, my mama's checkered past was no secret- she nevered tried to hide it. My mama used to work as well, a nightwalker...She was known as the princess because of her stunning good looks and expectations, if there was no rubber you weren't getting any, if you didn't treat her the way she thought she should be she'd toss you out of her bed faster than an heart attack.
You see my mama didn't find her way into the lord's embrace until she met my daddy who sweet talked and declared his undying love for her. Now don't you dare go thinking bad about my mother, or I'll sock you one right between the eyes! My mama had a very hard upbringing she never wanted that kind of life, it was forced on her! Dear old granny sold her into it when mama turned 15 she had to pay the bills somehow! Anyways back to what i was saying, it wasn't until mama met daddy that she changed her ways, Daddy married mama against his father's wishes, made an honest woman out of her.
You're probably wondering how daddy met mama right? Well i have the answers to that to! Story goes that daddy fell in love with mama at first sight, saw her sitting at a cafe he was passing by and he knew right then and there that this was the woman god had in store for him- Sure daddy is 647 years older than my mama's 24 year self, but when you're in love age doesn't matter. So here we are now...Mama is 40 and daddy is 679 both have still retained their youth and love.
"Did you hear me son?" my eyes snapped up, uh-ho i had got lost yet again. "No sir…" Daddy just smiled and shook his head, "Your father said you are to apologize for your behavior." Mama sounded almost smug about, my ears drooped. "..I am proud of you for standing up for Shippo, however next time do try to be a little more courteous and respectful. That woman may not have fully embraced god the way she ought, but she is still your elder AND the good pastor's wife." I nodded my head vigorously. I couldn't help but to smile at my mama and blow her a kiss. "Go on now, scoot. I want you washed up and ready for dinner in an half an hour. Remember to dress nice, we have company coming over!" My mama sang as she walked past me swatting me on the behind.
All was forgiven! Grinning from ear to ear I bound up the stairs and into my room. Wait- Company? Who was coming over? This was the first I have heard of any company...Shrugging my shoulders I looked through my closet for something presentable..Hmmm maybe the red shirt with his black slacks….No mama wouldn't be having any of that...He beamed the white shirt and black slacks it was then! Inuyasha hung his clothes out and hummed as he made his way to his shower. He turned on the shower fiddling with the controls until it was just warm enough, he slipped out of his clothes and stepped into the shower.
Oh good heavens above, the water kneaded my tense muscles and relaxed me oh so perfectly. Humming i reached for my favorite shampoo Milk and Honey. It smelled so damned good, it was honey and almond scented! He began to lather up his thick medium length hair being weary of his claws. Inuyasha massaged the thick mixture onto his furry appendages before moving on to wash his body. He grabbed his loofa and poured his honey almond body wash on it. It didn't take long for him to finish up his shower and to wrap a towel around his waist. I had to grab an extra one for my hair because it retained water, I hated it! Geez it could never be easy when it came to grooming.
Scowling I threw the towel it was already soaked through. Alright then time to call back up! I spied the dryer and picked it up like it was a weapon along with my hair brush. "Say hello to my little friend." a giggle slipped past my lips as I turned on my "little friend and began to blow dry my hair while running the brush through it.
"Inuyasha?" A knock at my door made me cut the blow dryer off, "Yes ma'am?" I was quick to answer. "Son you need to hurry it up and stop primping, you only have 20 minutes left until i expect you downstairs." His mother's giggle made me ignore the word primping because i wasn't primping just...looking good took hard work. "Yes ma'am." Rolling my eyes with my own smile I went back to fixing my hair, over half of it was already dried.
Thank god for that! It didn't take but another five minutes before i had it pulled up high in a slick ponytail. I hummed, damn I looked good...I dressed in a hurry and made my way down stairs just as the doorbell rang. My mama gestured for me to get my but over there beside her. I did without hesitation, I had just taken my place by her side when daddy opened the door revealing our company for the night, My eyes were lowered as mama and daddy introduced themselves. "Son?" Daddy asked in that strong sure voice of his.
"Hi my names Inu-" I lifted my eyes as i stepped forward, Good lord above! My throat closed up swallowing the rest of my words as I laid eyes on the most beautiful man to ever walk this earth. The dazzling creature smiled revealing two sets of glistening fangs, I thought it was going to blind me, until I heard mama clearing her throat. "Yasha…" I barely managed to get the words out.
Dear lord this man...no the master piece had Long silver hair, wrist adorned by purple stripes...milky white skin a broad chest...My eyes met his and I was lost just that fast, those orbs were the color of melted amber. Honey knew he was a work of art just by the way his eyebrow raised, and his lip turned up into a half smirk. He stepped forward a large hand protruding, I stared at it unsure what to do. "Inuyasha!" I jumped as my father barked out my name before quickly extending my own hand, if anything that made the stranger's smirk grow...I focused on his lips as he took my hand into his much larger and rougher pair.
I didn't hear what he said I was too far gone.. He shook it with a firm grip as another man and woman came forward stretching out their own hands in greeting. I hurriedly yanked my hand back as if scalded and truthfully I did feel as if I had been burned. I knew i was missing all of the conversation but I couldn't focus on any of that, My heart was racing a thousand miles per minute as i stepped back by mama's side. I keep my eyes lowered to the ground. 'God please, please just let me get through tonight without making a fool of myself anymore then I did. I'm begging you lord give me the strength not to embarrass myself any further in front of this man, AMEN!'
TBC…
