Chapter 2-12/24/11

A/N: It's the same night that the last chapter ended in. Like, five minutes after the last one ended.

I just felt like ending the last one at that kind-of-sad note.

Chapter has reference to...nothing really offensive. Pretty sure about that...Oh well if it isn't.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the InuYasha characters mentioned below in this story. They belong to Rumiko Takahashi. But I do own...actually, nothing that pertains to InuYasha or any of the other characters.

OHH OHHHH! I know the answer, call on me!

Yes?

These stories are of our possession.

Yay!

Hoorah!

End A/N.

InuYasha tossed the empty bowl into the full sink. He let out a startled yelp when the dishes piled high in it began to shift precariously. Sighing, he decided it was past time for him to do the dishes.

Humming, he began searching the cluttered kitchen for the dishwashing detergent. InuYasha stood still for a moment, debating internally. I could clean the kitchen and then do the dishes, he thought, OR I could hire someone to come and do it for me tomorrow. Nodding, he came to a decision. Hiring someone it is!

Smiling and radiating self-satisfaction over his lazy choice, InuYasha walked throught the crummy, small, filthy, smelly kitchen and into the equally dirty living room. Looking around, he defended himself against his late wife. "No, this isn't-isn't dirty. It's simply unclean. It's a bachelor's pad. What'd you expect, Kikyo?"

He stopped at the hallway leading into his bedroom to let a family of cockroaches pass. "No, I'm not going to kill Susan and Sam's family by stepping on them. They own this place. Their grandparents were already here when I moved in, Kikyo, so I'm not going to force them to leave," InuYasha said. "No, it's not gross that I let them sleep in bed with me."

"Chchchchch-badadadaaa (*See below A/N)," he quietly sang to himself. "Badabababaaa, I'm lovin' it."(**See below A/N) "America is so awesome, isn't it Kikyo?" InuYasha asked as he stripped in his bedroom. "You know, I'd been planning for us to take a cruise to the States when...it happened. I'd even booked us a room on the ship and everything. It would've been an awesome first anniversary." He slipped on his thug clothes: black shirt, nondescript dark hoodie, black holey, baggy jeans, and a pair of black boots. To top it off, he put his long black hair in a ponytail and a beanie on his head. (***)

Looking in the mirror, InuYasha questioned if he looked thuggy enough. (****) "What do you think?" he asked as he turned around to face the open doorway, where he imagined his wife to be. "Good point. I need to scowl more. It's gonna be hard, because I'm so cheerful. Did you know that in high school, I was voted most optimistic? 'S true." Bending down, he ran his hand over the floor a couple of times. He brought his hand to his face and hesistated. "Even I'll agree the carpet is definitely not clean." Clenching his teeth, he ground out, "But this is for you, so...". InuYasha rubbed his hand across his face repeatedly.

Shaking his head rapidly, he walked into the bathroom and pulled out a bottle of eyedrops. Opening his right eye, he squeezed out a couple of drops and then did the same with his left eye. Blinking, InuYasha looked into the mirror. Happy that it had worked and his pupils were sufficiently dilated, he told his reflection, "Yes! The drops worked. Now you look as high as any other street junkie."

He entered his living room and searched around for something. After several moments, during which he disturbed Sam the cockroach's family, InuYasha eventually found his knife. He rolled up the right leg of his jeans and, remembering that he needed a strap to slip the knife in, hopped around the room searching for it. Giving out a cry of victory, InuYasha attached the strap to his calf before sliding the knife into the pocket. He rolled down his pant's leg and looked for his other knife. He discovered it sitting on the stained coffee table. Grabbing the small weapon, he slipped it into the pocket on the front of his hoodie.

He made his way to his front door. "Oops, almost forgot. I look too clean, don't you think Kikyo? Actually, don't wanna hear what you have to say." Looking down at himself, InuYasha tore his pant's holes a little wider. "Any bigger and I'd slip right through them," he mumbled as he ripped his hoodie a bit. "Man, I'd loved this hoodie. Yeah yeah, I can always get another one. But it's not the same."

InuYasha realized that his shoes looked too neat and corrected the mistake by undoing some of his shoelaces. He mussed his hair a little before announcing to the empty apartment, "Okay. I'm done. See you later Kiks." (*****) He gave a small wave to nowhere in particular before opening the door and stepping outside.

Later that night...Like, WAY later. 3:00 A.M. or something...

InuYasha opened the door and groaned, "UGH! This city needs so many more cops. You wouldn't believe how much crime there is. I almost got shot twice, and someone tried to mug me. While I was driving TO the mafia 'headquarters'." He walked into his bedroom and began stripping again. "It. Was. Awful. But it might have been worth it. The stuff I found out was important. Or at least seemed like it. But I'm way too tired to think over it tonight. I'm going to sleep." Stumbling into the bathroom, he grabbed a washcloth, flipped on the faucet, and stuck the washrag under the water. He twisted the faucet off after a moment and ran the rag vigorously across his face before tossing the washcloth in the vague direction of the dirty clothes' hamper. "Don't care that I missed. 'Night," InuYasha declared as he fell into bed.

But InuYasha felt that he couldn't get comfortable. Rolling over in bed, he heard a strange noise. Puzzled, he tried to think of what it was. But it was a few minutes before he figured it out. Groaning, he told his dead wife, "Crap, I think I just killed Sam's family."

A/N:

*InuYasha was singing/humming nonsense to himself. He couldn't think of a song he wanted to sing, so he just began to make up words. I'm pretty sure those words mean nothing in any language, and if they do, that is purely coincidental.

**He's singing the theme song of McDonald's, a fast food restaraunt in America. I'm not sure if it's an international restaraunt chain, so that's why I'm explaining what it is.

***In case no one knows what a beanie looks like, it's the cap Eminem is almost always wearing. And if that is no help, it's a hat that sits really snug on your head...I don't know, I can't really explain it. Just Google it or something.

****I'm almost certain 'thuggy' is not grammatically correct/an actual word. I do not care. I use it constantly in my daily life. So...there.

*****Kiks: nickname for Kikyo. I was too lazy to type out her whole name. And I'll probably use it again later on. So now you know.

I'm going to have the rest of the story out by tomorrow night. My Christ-err, I mean-holiday gift to y'all...I was going to say, 'Christmas gift', but, you know, not everyone celebrates it, so...Sorry.

Did you get the ending line? InuYasha rolled over and crushed Sam the cockroach's family. 'Cause, remember, he said earlier that Sam and Susan slept in bed with him. Gross.

Sorry if this isn't as good as it could have been. I typed the chapter in an hour and I just rather get it out there rather than wait until tomorrow.
