I'll Always Be Alone (Life Should Be Fun)

InuYasha snuck his cell phone out of his pocket and accessed his messages, for his cell phone had vibrated. He glanced at the teacher, and made sure that he wasn't being watched. He held his phone under the desk, out of the teachers line of sight. He read the message that he had recieved.

'Hey InuYasha! I heard that you were gonna jump off the top of the school today, after class. Please don't tell me it's true!'

InuYasha grinned, and rapidly keyed in a message, sending it as the teacher started over. He quickly slid his phone in his pocket, and straightened up. The teacher stopped by his desk, and picked up his work.

"Are you following the lesson, InuYasha?" The teacher asked, and InuYasha nodded. "Yes sir." He replied dutifully. The teacher stared at him for a moment longer, before dropping his notebook back on the desk. InuYasha waited until he walked away to the front of the room, before he let out a sigh. Just then, the bell rang, and InuYasha threw his books into his binder, glad to be free.

He jumped out of his desk, lugging his binder with him, streaking out of the classroom, and down the hallway. He raced to his locker, where Sango and Ayame were waiting for him already.

Sango, long, dark brown hair done up in a ponytail, greeted InuYasha first. She pushed off the row of lockers, and slid an arm around his waist, in a friendly hug. She was clad in a tight pair of jeans, and a clingy red t-shirt with a V-neck. She had light pink eyeliner on, and she grinned as InuYasha hugged her back. Ayame, on the other hand, stared at InuYasha, her bright green eyes giving nothing away. She wore a pair of black, grey and white camouflaged cargo pants low around her hips, revealing the tip of a tattoo that she had gotten some time ago. InuYasha had never seen the whole thing, nor did he know what it was. but he figured that if Ayame wanted him to know, then she would show him. She had a matching sleeveless top, and one of her ears were pierced with a diamond earing. She silently moved to the left a bit, allowing InuYasha to access his locker. InuYasha threw his binder in the bottom of his locker, and grabbed his skateboard out of his locker.

"I did as you asked, InuYasha." Ayame said, following InuYasha and Sango as they made their way to the front of the school.

"Now almost the whole school knows that you're gonna jump off the roof. Most of them will be there, expecting you to fall." She said. InuYasha grinned, and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Thanks Ayame." He said. On the outside, she stayed emotionless, but inside, Ayame's body was on fire with the feelings she felt for the boy in front of her. She said nothing, and continued to follow them.

"InuYasha!!"

They turned, and spotted Kagome running toward them. They stopped, and waited up for her. She caught up to them, and ran in front of InuYasha, puting her hands on his chest.

"Please don't do it InuYasha, you'll get hurt!" She said. InuYasha laughed.

"Well, I promise I'll be careful." He said, starting to walk again. She pushed against his chest a bit harder, and put her head on his chest.

"InuYasha, please!!" She said. InuYasha sighed.
"I already told you I was gonna do it, please move." He said. Kagome shook her head, and tightened her hold on his shirt. He sighed, and handed his skateboard to Sango. He gently pried her hands off his shirt, and pushed her away.

"Come on, don't worry so much." He said. "I'm just gonna have a bit of fun, that's all." He said. "I promise that nothing bad will happen." She hesitated, then sighed, and let him continue. She followed right behind him, knowing that she could never convince him to stop doing the stupid stuff he did.

InuYasha looked around for any teachers that might have noticed the bigger than usual crowd, and quickly climbed the series of ledges created by the windows. He reached the top, and looked down. He grinned at the seemingly far distance to the ground. He was almost thirty feet up, but this wasn't where he was gonna jump anyway. He ran across the roof, and quickly slid down the access ladder. He landed on the roof of the cafeteria, and was now only about twelve feet off the ground. He ran back to the edge, and the crowd immediately started to swarm around him. He leaned down, and told Sango to throw up his skateboard. It took a few tries, but she got it up high enough for him to grab it. He hauled it up, and sat down on the roof, the afternoon sun beating down on him. He quickly checked it over to make sure that it wasn't damaged, then stood up.

He backed up about twenty feet, and dropped his skateboard. He took a deep breath, and started skating for the edge, giving three powerful pushes before he placed his foot on the board. He saw the edge approaching, and at the last second, he kicked down on the tail of his skateboard, lifting the front end. He lifted his front foot, and let the board come up on him. He was now halfway over the edge of the school.

"Outta my way!" He yelled, kicking his front foot out and off the edge of the nose of the board. The board started to spin beneath him, and he started falling. The board stayed with him, and he saw the ground rushing up to him. He counted his spins, and saw the board complete it's second spin. He gauged his remaining distance against the speed of the spinning board, and figured that he could land it. He let the board spin one more time, before he kicked down, his feet landing on the screws, over his trucks. The board slammed onto the pavement and InuYasha let himself drop down, knees almost completely bent, to absorb the impact. He straightened up, and rode away, not hearing the yelling in his ears.

He put his foot down, and dragged his foot, coming to a stop. The huge crowd that had gathered to see him mess up, was now yelling because he had pulled off a kickflip from the roof of the school. He was surrounded by people, all yelling and trying to get his attention, but InuYasha ignored them, looking around for his friends. He spotted Kagome pushing her way through the crowd, and he waited until she reached him.

"See? Told ya I wouldn't get hurt." He said, grinning. She shook her head.

"I was so worried about you!" She said. InuYasha grinned.

"Don't waste your time." He said, turning to find Ayame and Sango. Behind him, Kagome bowed her head, his words resonating in her mind.

8 Days Later...

Sango jumped on InuYasha's bed, and laid down beside the boy. He was under the blankets, and she could hear him groan as his sleep was inturrupted. She giggled.

"Wakey wakey, InuYasha." She said, ripping back the covers and revealing the topless kid. She stretched out on top of him, his lower body still covered by the blankets, and she ran her fingers over his chest, feeling the ridge between his large chest muscles, her fingers dipping and rising over his rippled stomach.

"Hey InuYasha,' She said. "How old are you again?" She asked. InuYasha groaned again, and rubbed his eyes.

"Eighteen years, and nine months old." He said. Sango kissed his stomach, and nodded.

"Oh yeah, that's right." She said absentmindedly. She got off him, and let him get up. She sat on the edge of his bed, and watched him wake up. He sat up, and pushed his messy white hair out of his sleepy golden eyes. She had always loved his gold colored eyes, one of the many things she loved about him, actually. She moved off the bed as he threw off the covers, and got out of bed.

She watched his bum as he walked over to the closet, for he was wearing only a pair of shorts that came down to his knees. She laid back on his bed, and pulled the blankets up to her chin as she watched him walk around. She reveled in the body heat that was on the bed and the blankets, and she inhaled deeply, trying to catch his scent that was on the pillow. She watched him for a few more minutes in silence, before he spoke.

"How the hell did you get in here, anyway?" He asked, taking some clothes out of the closet.

"Your mom let me in, told me that you were upstairs in your room, probably still sleeping, and then she left." Sango said. InuYasha turned around to glance at her. Sango stared back at him, the blankets pulled up over her nose. She stared at InuYasha and noticed that the button to his shorts was undone, and the zipper was partly down. She smirked at him, but InuYasha was unable to see her smirk, for the blanket was covering her mouth.

"Had fun last night, eh InuYasha?" She asked, earning a look of confusion from InuYasha.

"Whaddya mean?" He asked.

"You forgot to zipper your pants back up." She said. InuYasha looked down, and looked back at Sango.

"Wha...Oh, I get it." He said. "Naw, that's not what you think." He said. "Watch." He tried to zipper the pants up, and button them, but they were slightly too small, and wouldn't fit over his hips.

"See?" He asked.

Sango nodded.

"Mhmm, sure, I gotcha." She said, winking at him. He blushed lightly, and shook his head.

"You're dirty." He said, opening his door.

Sango laughed. "Deny it all you want,, InuYasha, I know what you were doing!" She said.

"Yeah, sure, I'm gonna take a shower, try not to get too excited, and put stains on my bed." He said, shutting the door behind him. Sango blushed, and said nothing. After a few minutes, she heard the water running down the hall, and she closed her eyes. The warmth of the blankets and the muted sound of the water eventually proved too much for her, and she fell asleep.

InuYasha dropped his dirty clothes in the laundry room, and walked upstairs. He grabbed two bottles of JOLT, and two caramilk bars. It would be their breakfast. He walked up the stairs and opened his door, finding Sango fast asleep on his bed. He smiled, and set the bars down, padding softly over to the side of the bed. He slowly pulled back the blankets and a small moan reached his ears. He slowly extended the bottle toward her, and placed it against her bare neck. Sango's eyes flew open, and she jumped up, yelping as the cold bottle shocked her out of her sleep.

"Holy Hell!!" She said, pushing the bottle away.

InuYasha laughed, and dropped the bottle in her lap. He opened his, and got up before she could hit him. He walked over to his dresser, and grabbed one of the chocolate bars, turning around quick and throwing it at her.

"Sango!!" He yelled, and she turned to look at him.

Thunk!!

"Wah!!" The chocolate bar caught her in the forehead, and she fell back onto the bed, laughing. InuYasha laughed too, and sat down, ripping the wrapper off of his, biting into it.

Sango sat up, and glanced at him.

"You dummy!" She said, shaking her head.

"What?" He asked, innocently.

"That's not the proper way to eat a caramilk bar, are you retarded?" She asked. InuYasha shrugged, confused.

"There's a proper way to eat a chocolate bar?" He asked. Sango shook her head again, her ponytail swinging around her shoulders.

"This isn't just chocolate, InuYasha." She said. "It's sex chocolate."

InuYasha's eyes widened at her words.

"What?"

Sango nodded. "Yup. You can't just bite into it." She said. "Here, let me show ya." She said, taking his bar from him. She slowly broke off a piece, and slid it into her mouth, licking at the caramel that had dripped onto her lower lip. She laid down, and moaned, closing her eyes, letting the chocolate melt in her mouth, slowly sliding her tongue around her lips, her mouth slightly open. InuYasha stared at her, wide eyed. Sango looked at him, and reached up, grabbing the front of his shirt, pulling him down on top of her.

"U-Umm, Sango, what're you do--" He was cut off as she kissed him, softly at first, her lips touching against his. InuYasha blushed, and Sango moaned. She took his hand, and placed it on her hip, before reaching up to stroke the side of his face. She deepened the kiss, gently sliding her tongue into his mouth. InuYasha could feel his face heating up, and he pulled away slowly.

"Sa-Sango..." He said, tasting the chocolate that was on her tongue. Sango laughed.

"That, InuYasha, is how you eat a chocolate bar."

She winked at him, and sat up, handing back his chocolate bar.

"Come on." She said, getting up. "Let's go get Ayame and Kagome."

InuYasha grinned and jumped up.

"Alright, let's go." He said, following her out of the room.

Ayame opened her door, and saw InuYasha, Sango and Kagome standing on her doorstep.

"Hey guys." She said, walking out into the bright sunlight. She shut the door behind her, and shielded her eyes from the bright sun. She yawned, and put her hands on her back, stretching. She was barefoot, and she had a pair of jeans on that came down around her ankles, with a white shirt that was unbuttoned. The long sleeves covered her arms, and her fingers were curled around the sleeves, giving her that innocent look. It was offset slightly by the fact that her bra was barely covered. It was pure white, but there wasn't much fabric to it, and it revealed a lot . She didn't miss the way InuYasha looked at her, but pretended she hadn't noticed.

"Wanna hang out today?" InuYasha asked, grinning at her. Ayame turned her cool, green eyed gaze on him, and stared at him.

"I don't know..." She said.

InuYasha shook his head, grinning.

"Aww, come on. I"m guaranteed to be doing something stupid, or risky." He said. Ayame let herself smile a bit.

"Okay." She said. "Let's go."

"We should go get something to eat first." Kagome said.

They all agreed, and they started walking toward the corner store down the street. Ayame was still barefoot, enjoying the warm pavement against her feet. They walked slowly, enjoying the summer morning, and talking to each other about what they were doing, and their interests, and where they wanted to do in life. InuYasha stayed silent the whole time, listening to their hopes and dreams.

"I really wanna finish school, and become a nurse," Kagome said, "I think that it would be a fun job, healing idiots like InuYasha that can't take care of their bodies."

InuYasha winced, and Ayame laughed.

Sango nodded.

"Good for you, Kagome." She said. "Stay in school then, keep trying hard." She said.

Kagome nodded. "Yeah! What do you want to do when you get outta school, Sango?" She asked.

Sango hummed.

"I'm not really sure, but I hope that I can get a job that doesn't make me sit behind a desk all day long, typing at a computer." She said. "I love physical work, so I might get a job that requires a bit of moderately heavy lifting, make my job interesting." She said. Kagome laughed.

"Yeah," She said, poking Sango's trim stomach. "You need a job that'll keep you in shape after you get out of school, think you'll miss Phys. ed?"

Sango nodded. "Yeah, once I'm outta school, I'll definitely miss it." She turned to Ayame, grinning at her.

"What about you, Ayame?" She asked, wondering about her soft-spoken, often silent friend of fourteen years.

Ayame blushed, but it went unnoticed, for it was light.

"Uh...I actually only have one dream." She said, and she got excited just thinking of it.

She glanced at InuYasha, and he noticed, turning slightly to look at her.

"Yeah Ayame, what do you want?" He asked, a slight grin on his face.

Ayame blushed again, this time it was noticed by Sango, but she said nothing.

I know what I want alright... Ayame thought.

"Um, I want to m-OUCH!" She dropped to the ground, on her knees, clutching her right foot. InuYasha turned when he heard her yelp, and he quickly kneeled down in front of her, to see what was wrong with her.

"Hey, Ayame, are you alright?" He asked, worriedly. Ayame, tears in the corners of her eyes, nodded slowly.

"What happened?" He asked. Ayame bit her lip, and lifted her foot, slowly. InuYasha's eyes widened at the small puddle of blood that was on the pavement, and Sango grimaced.

"I think I stepped on a piece of glass." Ayame mumbled. InuYasha winced, knowing how painful it could be, and he gently took her foot in his hands, feeling her smooth skin beneath his fingers. Sango helped her sit down, and InuYasha sat down on the pavement, looking at the sole of her foot. He took a deep breath, and then looked at Ayame.

"I'm sorry, Ayame." He said, before ripping the piece of glass out of the bottom of her foot. Ayame gasped as his fingers touched the wound, then bit her lip to keep from screaming as the glass was yanked out of her foot.

"Shh, don't worry." InuYasha said softly. He reached into his pocket, and took out a small roll of bandage, and he ripped a piece off. He wrapped it tightly around her foot, and made sure that it wouldn't come undone. Ayame whimpered as the bandage pressed against the cut on her foot, but the pain slowly faded as she focussed on InuYasha. He put the roll of bandage away, and took both of her hands in his, gently pulling her up. He let her lean against him for a minute, until she regained her balance. She tried to take a step on the injured foot, but she shook her head, for she couldn't put pressure on it. InuYasha steadied her with his hands around her waist, and he grinned down at her. He leaned down and kissed her forehead, before turning around and kneeling down.

"Come on." He said. "I'll give you a piggy back ride." He said. He had kissed her, then turned around quickly, so he missed her blush. Ayame hesitated for a second, but only a second. She tentatively got onto his back, and put her hands on his shoulders. She gasped as he stood up quickly, and she tightened her grip on his shoulders a bit. She felt InuYasha's strong hands gripping her legs gently, and she relaxed, resting her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes. She slid her hands over his shoulders to put her arms loosely around his neck.

They walked in silence for a few minutes, before the fateful question was asked:
"Um, InuYasha, any reason as to why you just happened to have that roll of bandage in your pocket?" Kagome asked. InuYasha shrugged a bit.

"Meh, I don't know, it was probably in my pocket from yesterday, I cut my hand climbing that really tall electrical tower, you know the one by the power plant?"

Kagome shook her head, and Sango punched his shoulder, laughing. "Didja make it to the top?" She asked. InuYasha nodded. "Yeah, and lemme tell ya, that thing is high!" He said.

InuYasha, you're gonna end up killing yourself one of these days!" Kagome said. "What drives you to do these pointless and stupid stunts?" She asked. InuYasha shook his head.

"They might be pointless to you, Kagome, but to me, they're a source of fun. It's important to me to have fun. Where you guys wanna get jobs, and be doctors and stuff, I just wanna have fun, get a car, street race, the usual, then die young." He said simply. "I don't feel like I'm living if I ain't having fun, ya know?"

Kagome shook her head. "No, I don't know." She said. "There's more to living than having fun, InuYasha." She said. InuYasha sighed.

"Yeah, maybe there is, but I don't want any part of it." He said, tilting his head up to look at the sky.

"There's gotta be something out there that I can earn a living, and have fun too." He breathed, not knowing that the girl he was carrying was thinking about him.

Ayame felt the tears forming in the corner of her eyes. She clutched his shirt tighter in her hands.

'Die young, InuYasha? What about my dream?'
