Tokyo, Japan, 2057.
Morning has come, and the sun was raising up shining over the massive metropolis city of Tokyo. The blaring noises of hover cars zooming around and digital billboards to the roaring crowd of pedestrians crossing roads, moving about the concrete and so forth. It seems what it is to live in the 21st century where the city is now more metro, and bigger as it was before then they were in the past.
This particular comes to the half-demon named, Inuyasha as he laying in his bed with his blanket, and sheet mess about, and not cover on him leaving his bare chest exposed, and his legs as well. He lay there snoring as if his snores are louder then the noises coming from outside. However his slumber would come to an end until...
"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"
His dog ears pricked sensitively by the ear pricing sound of his alarm clock.
"Ugh...fuck!" He groan in pain as his head was pounding.
He slam his hand on the snooze button shutting the loud beeping off which brings relief to his ears.
Shifting back and forward, and sits up placing his hand on his forehead, moaning more as his head kept pound like beating drums. His silvery white hair draped around his head like a curtain, but then he sighed. He shifted over to his nightstand, opening the drawer taking out a bottle of pain killers and takes two pills out. He pop them in his mouth, and swallow them down with a glass of leftover water.
He gets out of bed as the blanket pooled on the floor revealing more of his body. Sure he is naked, but partially due to wearing black brief underwear as he heads over to the bedroom bathroom turning on the sink as he starts washing his face along brushing his sharp fangs.
While that's going on a young typical, average 20-year old girl, Kagome Higurashi, wearing light pink long sleeve shirt, baby blue skirt, and a white apron draped around her was in the kitchen cooking some tamagoyaki omelette with toast, and some coffee brewed as well.
She always like to make a nice breakfast for her half-demon roommate, even though he prefers nothing but ramen in a plastic cup all day. But he does give respects to her cooking, and would enjoy her wonderful food. The funny thing is that in the past, Inuyasha would criticize of how he crappy her cooking was in which pisses her off. But as time goes on he comes to respect her fine meals despite he still prefer ramen, thus, Kagome couldn't help but how usual, Inuyasha can be with his tastes.
She was humming a musical tone (Dearest) as she was making the final touches until she heard bedroom door open, reveling fully-dressed Inuyasha who groaned as he shielded his eyes from the brightness of the room and the sun light.
"Morning, sleepyhead." She greeted with a smile.
"Morning," Inuyasha said back. "You sleep well?"
"Mhmm." Kagome nodded. "Unlike you, you had quite a rough day yesterday." She set the table placing plates, and chopsticks on the side. "Would you like some coffee, Inuyasha?" She asked.
"Sure." Inuyasha replied as he takes a set. His head was still hurts but not pounding as it was before.
Kagome poured the coffee into a mug, as she puts a teaspoon of sugar and not much cream in it since she know he like that way, and doesn't like his coffee too sweat or creamy.
He blew on his coffee a bit before he began sip it, causing him to sigh pleasantly.
"How's your head." Kagome asked pointing his bandages on his forehead despite his injuries can heal much faster then most people since he has demon blood in him since demons can regenerate their wounds, and other injuries.
"Well, my head still hurts a little, but it will probably go away soon." He shrugged.
Kagome chuckled at that which, Inuyasha chuckled along with her.
He, and Kagome has been living in this two bedroom apartment for years even since they moved away together from Higurashi Shrine. Throughout his childhood he adopted by them as he once an orphan after his human mother, Izayoi died from a unknown fatal illness. Once they took him in he was loved by many since no one else didn't because of him being a half-demon. Kagome's mother was one who gave him so much kindness, and love to him as she became a second mother to him, but no one can ever replace his biologic mother.
Kagome mainly gave so much kindness to him too ever since he saved her by scaring off some bullied girls that were picking on her by forming a circle and singing "Kagome, Kagome." Kids teased about her name of how weird, and stupid it sounds. Inuyasha however doesn't thinks it is which made her so happy for his respect to her. However Kagome, and Inuyasha don't see each other as brother or sister to one another just as best friends... but deep down somewhere their more then just friends even they don't admit it. Many of their friends, including close ones like, Miroku, and Sango suspect them sharing an apartment together meaning there a thing to each other which they both deny that fact.
"You must've had quite a beat from your yesterday's demon hunt, huh?" Kagome asked as she take a bite of her omelette.
"Yeah, he gave me a beating, but he never stood a chance against me." He grinned.
"Well what do you expect? You're the best in the police force." Kagome said.
"Yeah, but you do know that slayers are much different compare to ordinary police officers." Inuyasha replied. "It's our duty to deal with bad ones, and that's how it is." He then take bite of his own omelette.
"Yes, that's so true. I've always wonder how it's is to be a slayer myself." Kagome wondered to herself which made, Inuyasha chuckle causing, Kagome to tilt her head confused.
"What's so funny?" She asked.
"Sorry...It's just that being a slayer isn't as easy as it seems, Kagome. It takes skills to become a well-season "Slayer" plus being one can the most dangerous job for you."
"Are you saying I can't be one? Is it because I'm girl? " Kagome she said frowning.
"Hey!...That has nothing to do with that!"
Then she snorted as board smile split across her as she covered her mouth with her hand.
"Hehehe! I-I'm only kidding, Inuyasha! I mean you wouldn't see me like that." She giggles.
Inuyasha then give her a deadpanned expression. "Haha...very funny, Kagome." Said in annoyance.
"Hehe! Oh come on, Inuyasha. I was joking okay? I mean I understand it's a serious job, and a dangerous one at that. She take another bite on follow by sipping her coffee. "But I'm curious about the experience from your Slayer hunting the other day?"
Flashback
Somewhere in the countryside of, Tokyo.
It was grey and foggy afternoon in the rural countryside outside from, Tokyo with, Inuyasha flying on his personal police cruiser heading to lone farmhouse in the open fields. Getting intel that a fugitive demon named, Hiroki was out hiding due to being wanted for the murdering of twelve innocent people for the past 2 months. After finding his whereabout, Inuyasha set out to exterminate.
Spotting a small farmhouse which looks rundown but still sturdy. He lands with the jet turbines supporting the craft while the long grass are being blown.
Once he exited out of the vehicle he give a sniff in the air to catch any stench of a demon which he does get a foil smell protruding out from that old farmhouse. He makes a slight humming sound as both his hands are in his pockets of his dark red coat slowly making his way towards the entrance. Inuyasha knew that this is going to be a challenge since this one he's about to face is a bear demon, their the toughest ones along the other fugitive demon any slayer ever faced. However he know this will be no problem for, Inuyasha because he took on many tough demons before so this one would be no difference to the others.
He enters in as the half-demon notice that the inside of the farmhouse was quiet inside...almost to quiet. His super hearing dog ears picked up a sound of kettle hanging above a irori hearing the water boiling inside.
He sniffs around as he notice that the scent of his fugitive that is coming outside the backyard of the farmhouse. Inuyasha plans to wait him out. He sits down crossing both legs, and arms as he waits for, Hiroki enters back in which of course it only took about five minutes for him to as he hears heavy thumping footsteps coming from the wooden porch. The door slides open as a large men wearing a light green work shirt, dark brown trousers, mid length black boots, and pairs of field gloves. The height of the man was much taller then, Inuyasha.
By his appearance he has a broader build, hair light black with bald cap on top of his head, his eyes were greyish-blue, and scruffy full beard. On the side of right arm is carrying a bamboo basket filled with daikon that rooted out from his garden.
Hiroki stops at his track as he notice the sliver with maned man sitting in the center of the living room as he give him a calm but stoic expression to him as he give the same expression as well. Without saying anything the farmer makes his way over to the kitchen as place basket on the counter as he turns on the sink while slipping his gloves off as he starts washing his hands.
Inuyasha watching him until the man he decided to brake the silence.
"I've heard your cruiser so I know you were already here." Hiroki said in a low deep tone.
"Then I guess you don't mind me taking the liberty here?" Inuyasha asked.
Hiroki however did not respond to him as he continues to wash the dirt of on one of his daikons.
"I was careful not to...drag any dirt around."
"I don't mind the dirt. I don't mind any dirt at all." He said as he shuts off the water while taking rag to dry off his hands.
Inuyasha remain quiet for the moment before the large glances over his shoulder.
"You police?" He asked.
"Are you, Hiroki?"
"Who's asking?"
"There's been several reports of multiple murders, twelve victims. Not long after he was on the run and went into hiding. I'm not mistaken that you may be the one I was looking for."
"You got the wrong man. I'm a farmer."
Inuyasha can not tell a lie due to scenting his smell by him. He can really tell that he's no human at all, and he diffidently has the right one.
"I can see that. What do you farm?" He asked.
Without saying anything, he reach over the basket pull out a daikon, and toss over which the half-demon catches it in his hand.
"Daikon." He answered.
"Daikon, huh?" He raised a brow.
"I also grow Camellias." He added.
"For making tea?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yes. Would you like some?" He pointed out the hanging kettle.
"Nah. I'm not much into tea myself."
"I see."
A moment silent continues as he, and Hiroki stared off each other not making a slight movement nor brake eye contact to one another while the kettle was still boiling.
"How long have you lived here?" Inuyasha decided asked to brake the silence once more.
"I lived here all my life." He replied.
"Have you always been a farmer, and not some bloodthirsty murdering demon?"
"I told you before I'm not who your looking for. I'm just a farmer." Hiroki said.
More silence was filling up as the kettle slowly starts to whistle.
"If your planning on taking me in you'll be held responsible for fuse accusing me as a demon."
"Well then...if I had to prove your a demon or not, I'll had to ask you to come over here and let me test you with this." Inuyasha said pulling a small device out of his pocket.
"What's that?" Hiroki asked.
"Oh, this?" He said wave it around. "This is called the Vec-Comm deivce. It's designed to tell if your human, or demon. All I had to do is scan one of your eyes. Now I'm gonna ask you again to get your ass over here, and let me test this on you."
"Are you threatening me?" His voice slowly grew aggressively, and rumble a low growl.
Inuyasha does the same.
"So what if I am?" He said.
Hiroki draws near him, as Inuyasha stood up. With no doubt he is quite taller then the half-demon is as he towers over him. The whistling of the tea kettle grew louder, and louder as the intensity was growing in the room. Not knowing it, Hiroki hid his right hand as long sharp bear claw start to admire out his fingers.
"Go ahead. Take your best shot." He smirked which made him flustered.
Which swift moment, Hiroku lash out thrusting his bared claws at him only for, Inuyasha to quickly stop it. He draw his gun out but, Hiroku knocks it down out of his hand while grabbing him by the collar of his coat and toss the half-demon across the room with enough force him to crash through the paper wall, and into the ground.
Inuyasha groaned from the impact he had take as he gets back up only to be football tackled by, Hiroki ramming like a battering ram until he gets slam against a old mini pickup truck. He then tries to stab him with is claws but, Inuyasha dodges it.
He then bites him causing, Hiroki to let out an agonizing yell as he grabbed his long white hair yank it, causing the half-demon to yelp. Then he gets he whole head shoved against the glass of the truck's window which, Hiroki bash his head repeatedly three times until the glass shattered with fragment of glass pierce on his forehead while red liquid rush down. Inuyasha then retaliates by elbowing repeatedly him to the gut, and turn him over pinning him against the track laying out few punches to the kidney then land a strike to his throat, causing his opponent to gasped out coughing and whizzing, holding his throat with hand as he collapsed down to his knees.
While taking his time to recover, Inuyasha staggered over to retrieve his gun as he pointed at his opponent. Hiroki held his neck coughing, and catching breath again.
"How it feel...killing your own kind." Hiroki asked slowly getting himself back up.
"I only exterminate the kinds that runs. And I myself don't run." Inuyasha replied.
"You Slayers are all the same. Complete scums!" Hiroku said panted. "However you share the same demon blood, and yet you help those worthless mortals, and you become a killer to us."
"That's what everyone think of me. Because I'm no killer like you."
"Then your a nothing but a fool. A DEAD FOOL!"
Hiroki then lunge at the half-demon for the kill only for him with quick reflect fires his gun.
''BAM! BAM!''
As the rounds hit in his flesh, Hiroki falls on the ground dead as, Inuyasha stood there lowering his gun down as smoke comes out of the barrel.
He let a sigh heading back inside the farmhouse while he noticed the tea kettle was still whistling as he take a rag unhooking it down, and pour the boiled water to put out the fire as he puff of smoke cover the room.
After that he walks out of the house, and heads back to his cruiser while holding a cloth on his forehead to stop the bleeding as he takes off leaving the scene behind.
'I'm no killer. I do what I had to do no matter the differences.'
Flashback End
After sharing all that whole experience to, Kagome whose eyes were wide, Inuyasha hitch his breath to notice it.
"I...I'm sorry, Kagome." He hung his head down with his ears droop down. "It must've be too much to hear all that."
"What?" Kagome asked until she gasped in realization. "Oh! Oh, no! No, no, no! I mean it is so much to handle to hear all that. But I'm more concern about all that beat you suffered by fighting that demon fugitive yesterday."
"Keh!" Inuyasha scoffed to that. "You're forgetting that I have both human, and demon blood in me. Yes I do get injured, and bleed. But I heal, and recover really fast then normal mortals."
Kagome chuckled as she smiled.
"Kagome...can I ask you something?"
"Hmm?" Kagome looked him. "What is it, Inuyasha?"
"Do you think I'm-"
Just before what he was going to say he hear, Kagome gasped. "Oh, my god!" She looking at her watch in shock. "I'm late for work!"
She finish her coffee as she rush out grabbing her coat, and purse while she takes her keys.
"Gotta go now! I'll see ya, Inuyasha!" Kagome waved.
"Okay. You take care." He waved back to her giving a slight smile.
Bye, Buyo!" She rushed out shutting the door behind her.
Now alone with her overweight cat leaps on the table as he purrs which, Inuyasha chuckled as he playfully fondle his ear.
"I guess I should get to work too." He said. "I bet you want me to bring back a can sardine, huh?"
The fat cat only replies with lazy meow.
"Thought so." He gets up, and slip on his coat, and hoisted his gun in his holster as he heads off.
While he heads through the halls, and takes the elevator up to the rooftop of the apartment complex where every hover cars is parked, (Though, Kagome never own herself one since she prefers her bike riding to work instead which he does agree one that) Inuyasha couldn't he his mind off of what, Hiroki said to him yesterday.
'You share the same demon blood, and yet you help those worthless mortals, and you become a killer to us.'
Once he enters in his cruiser he let out a sigh saying to himself.
"I'm no killer. I'm not...But what about, Kagome? Does she see me one?"
He looked up in the front view window of his car looking up to the sky wondering to himself what, Kagome truly see in him as someone who does nothing exterminate other demons.
