The sun was slowly beginning to set after a long and busy day in the little town of Bakersfield Indiana Street lights slowly began to flicker on and the children in the busy neighborhood began to slowly go in for the evening. It seemed calm and peaceful. And yet it wasn't so calm in house 615 on Knott Road. If you stood on the street you could hear the couple inside yelling at each other from their master bedroom. It wasn't like any normal fight in that house hold. She was finally tired of his lazy ass not bothering to get out and find a job to help pay bills. He'd waste her money on power-ball tickets, booze, or gambling Leaving her frantic to gather money for rent, which was where she stood now, unable to. And as soon as he had gotten home from the boat she had at it, waving the eviction notice in his face. To say she was angry was an understatement.

" What are we supposed to do now Singin?" She cried out tossing the paper onto the bed where he sat. All he did was snort at it then pulled a duffle bag out from under the bed, tossing it over the eviction notice, as if that would make it go away. "Where are we supposed to go now!?"

"Will you shut up Izayoi!" He hollered in her face before retreating to the closet to grab handfuls of his clothes off the hangers only to stuff them in the duffle moments later.

"NO!" she growled stomping her foot, "because of your worthless ass me and my son have to relocate! and inu-yasha was just getting used to this school!" He didn't respond, just moved his lips in a mocking way as he stuffed the duffle bag full. Izayoi fumed, crossing her arms over her chest she stared lasers into him. Singin seemed unfazed as he zipped the duffle and placed the strap over his shoulder. Usually by now she would have begged him to unpack, ask for his forgiveness because she couldn't stand being alone. Right now she didnt dare. She had been with far to many losers to keep putting up with it now. Besides she had to be strong for inu-yasha.

In the next room over was the said teenager. He had heard this same argument numerous times before. The 18 year old was not at all surprised they would end up moving again, and so soon after settling down at that. In fact he was so used to moving that he keep his personal items to a bare minimum. The usual bed and dresser of course. Then he had his game systems, an Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 his guitar and songs notebook, and a laptop. Most of his clothes could fit into a large duffle bag and he wasn't a big shoe guy so he had nothing to worry about there. Normally it took him 30 mins tops to pack everything up and he was ready to go. It was quite sad honestly.

Ever since he was 14 years old Inu-Yasha Takashi was used to moving from place to place. His mother, although he loved her, went through to many dead beat boyfriends. So much that Inu-Yasha had lost count of how many as well as what their names were.
Tired of hearing the arguing he slid his headphones into his ears, letting Eric Church and Jason Aldean drown them out. The music washed over him seeming to calm him and take him away for a little while. After a good bit of songs he could hear the front door slam. Moments later his mother stuck her head into his room. With a sigh he removed his headphones and sat up, running a hand through his hair he made room for his mother to sit down. for a moment nothing was said until Inu-Yasha broke the silence.

"Moving again?" He asked his gruff voice seeming to sound so loud after nothing had been said. His mother nodded and he let out another sigh, dropping his head into his hand his silver hair covered him like a curtain.

" I'm so sorry inu-yasha..."

"where are we going?" He asked sitting up straight again. She looked at him but he wouldn't meet her eyes. After a while of just staring at him she gave up and let out a breath, staring out the window at the opposite side of the room.

"Were moving to Hancock County... I have an old high school friend who just opened up a diner in that small town and could use some help running it. She has a second house that she owns and has offered to let us live in it til we can get back on our feet, its rent free as long as i work at the diner..." He nodded still not looking her in the eye, "We'll get through this..." Again he nodded but he knew they were empty words. She always said that. they'd move, shed be happy, shed fall for a jerk who would leave her broke, and they'd move again. Same old same old.

She squeezed his shoulder as she stood, staring down at her young son and wondering where the time had gone, pretty soon hed be graduating high school... She bent over and kissed the top of his head and walked out of the room. Mentally inu-yasha began calculating how long this new place would keep his mothers interest He gave it a month. He grunted and fell back down on his bed throwing an arm over his eyes. He had a feeling it was going to be a long day tomorrow.
