This is my first Inu-yasha fan fic, and well it's an alternate reality one as well. I know that most of it will be OOC but I just could not get this story out of my mind!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-yasha.
They had met the next day at a coffee shop at the ungodly time of 7am. For the parting and scheming members of the team this was too early. The only one what did not need the liquid eye opener was Shippo and that was a good thing. When the fox-demon drank that powerful black brew he would become beyond hyper and lets just say the guys didn't want that to happen.
Sesshomaru sat calmly sipping upon his cup, the sweet poison not coffee but kappa tea, so strong and thick that it could be mistaken for coffee with ease. People often wondered if anything would make him show what he was thinking. He seemed so cold and withdrawn until he was upon the stage, not many could pick up on the fact that he wasn't a quiet ass in nature, it was that he simply did not like showing what he felt about most things.
Kouga and Inu-Yasha sat glaring at each other, they had started fighting already and it had been only five minuets. It was amazing that a group like this even managed to work together as a band. That was until Sesshomaru grew sick of it and the sharp sound of two rock hard skulls was heard as the eldest member of the band made the two glaring fools knock their heads together. The two looked upon him breaking eye contact and looking upon him as he gave a wicked smirk. "I win." He said and left it at that, but it was enough to make the others jaw drop like a pair of stunned oxen.
Kouga paled to the point that his normal sun darked skin looked like heavy cream in color, and Inu-Yasha growl and flush a deep crimson. "It's no fair you were to keep out of it last night. I think we should have another match."
"Ya, you took away my chance Sessy." Kouga started to taunt until he heard that soft warning growl. Damn why was it the kit was the only one that could get away with calling the ice prince that. "but then you must have messed up some how. She ran like the devil was after her," he started laughing then only find himself biting his own tongue as someone saw fit to hit him under the chin with an open fist.
"She kissed me you ass." Inu-Yasha manged to say his words pitched low so that very few could hear him. He gave a look to his brother that in short told him to keep quiet about it. Sesshomaru only blinked at that wondering what the boy was thinking. Just a hint of a smirk and he leaned upon the table they were sharing.
"Want to make a little wager?" His head tilted to one side golden eyes narrowed to near slits. "I wager that she will fall for me before one of you and that if she doesn't I will cut my hair." He paused as if letting that sink in. "almost all of it, but I will not cut off anything past my chin."
"Shit the ice prince is making a bet!" Inu-Yasha sputtered out, and Kouga almost choked on his coffee. Shippo was looking at him like he had just grown a second head and Sesshomaru offered a cold yet wicked smile. "I'm in on it, I'll do the same if she picks either of you before me I'll get my hair cut as well."
"No that is not good enough little brother. If you lose to me you will have to go to school for charm and learn something this time. You will stop acting like a spoiled thoughtless brat and become more of a refined demon, that father had hoped you would become. I will also demand the same from Kouga, for a prince of the wolfs you are still very lacking."
"More refined my ass!" Inu-Yasha almost yelled out making many turn to look upon the odd group, it took a hard glare from Sesshomaru to make the gawking people look away.
Kouga almost choked on his coffee when he heard the terms of the bet. "No way your not giving up enough."
"So, I win already, none of you are willing to try and lay claim to that lovely maiden, so pure, holding powers that even I can only guess at." Sesshomaru knew he was setting a trap and just how to bait it, Kagome was a worthy prize, even his darker more beast-like side wanted her, and that was something that had never happened before. She was not a simple meal dine upon, no she was something to hold and saver for many years to come. If only he could make the other less worthy members of the band see that and back off.
The other two seemed to think upon what he was telling them each pondering what could be gained and lost if they did this. Just the thought of the girl was enough to bring a smile to the others faces, they had all felt her power the other night, they had all tasted just a hint of what her pure soul had to offer, and the taint of power that marked her. Sesshomaru had made a point, she was a worthy thing to chase after, not like most of their fans that had just enough to sate there needs, before they moved on to find others to take from and feed upon. This slip of a girl that clearly was stepping into the plains of being a woman, was one to hold onto and well worth, any type of hunt, in human or demon terms.
The band as a whole looked about the small group of people in the coffee shop, no one seemed to know what or who was sitting among them. It was enough to make all of them laugh as if they shared some privet joke and in a way they did. In this age of technology who would believe that their kind was still upon this small planet called earth. Who would guess that a part of was helping the world change and grow was not just human kind but demon as well.
Centuries ago, a type of peace was reached, one that was held strictly by both sides, many things had lead to this, one the growing number of humans, the blood lust of weaker demons, and the fact that if a thin line of peace had not been made both races would have died out long ago, either in war or what the demons call the great hunt. This peace had put a stop to it for now and as long as it was held that dark time would never come. That however is a different story for another time, lets get back to this one shall we?
"So how are we to find this girl?" Inu-yasha asked just before he took a sip of his warm coffee, only to find himself on the hard end of many glares.
"She is not a girl..as you put it flee bag." the wolf demon almost growled out form behind his cup of coffee. "The one you where playing with last night now she was a girl. This sweet flower, that we happen to be talking about, she is so much more. She is going to be my woman!" He said it with such conviction, that the other two ended up glaring at him for a few moments.
For once the ice prince found himself nodding in agreement with the prince of the wilds, the one they had found last night was not a thing to be played with, or was she? He almost smirked as he recalled the look upon her face, the way she had blushed and almost shivered like a small child thinking of monsters under her bed when he had guided her to the stage. It would be fun to see how else he might be able to get her to react. He knew he was going to enjoy proving the wolf wrong, his claims of ownership would be nothing by wishful dreams.
With out a word her cellphone was placed upon the table, all four demons took time to gaze upon it, the three interested males moved to pick it up, only to have a flash of red snatch it up. The kitsune gave an almost girlish giggle and ignored the glares he was getting from the Ōkami, Inugami daiyōkai, and Inugami han'yō. They watched as his ears twitched and his tail moved about, hidden from all others because of the use of glamor spells. He had an air about him that said he had drank some of what the others prayed he would not get his hands upon, coffee!!
Heaven save us all it's a hyper kitsune that would make most fangirls melt on the spot, and what was worse, when he was hyper, he would flirt with one cute girl then move to another and keep going like that not knowing or caring just how many hearts he might break or how many girls might try to lay a major claim to him. What made it worse was the fact that he was too young to do much with the girls he charmed, and the rest of the band would often have to save him from dark corners and lustful woman.
Before they could grab him, Shippo hit a random key making the speed dial, kick into effect. He hummed a few bars of some random song, moving this way and that avoiding the three that now seemed set upon catching him, it took less than a second and the whole group of them where out of the cafe, making a few wonder just what happened to the group of cute guys.
The phone was answered on the 3rd ring by a sleepy sounding voice, Shippo gave a sweet smile, and with a purr even he didn't know he had, as he cooed into the phone. "Hello."
He had to move the phone away from his ear as a shrill shriek came from it, fallowed by a thump, then the sounds of someone rushing to pick up the phone. "Kagome?? What happened to your voice, you sound just like Shippo from last night."
He got a puzzled look then smirked, "I'm not Kagome, but she has a cute name." He dashed into a park moving with speeds that few could keep up with and ended up in a tree, "and I should sound like myself." That won him another shriek, and he felt almost clueless as to why. He found a branch that he liked and hung from it by his knees, making his baggy shirt slip along slender body and showing off his still developing form, and giving him a different view of the park. He winked at a few of the girls walking by, and heard them giggle and sigh.
"I'm Eri" the girl on the phone started to chatter in a way that made him think of a happy raccoon. So he tuned most of what she was saying out, till at last she asked a question he could answer. "Oh just hanging around and talking with a cute sounding girl trying to find Kagome so I can give her bac..." He was stopped by the phone being ripped out of his hand. He could tell from the scowl that was sent his way that Eri has started to chatter away again.
The Phone was pressed back into his hands and he was pulled from the tree. Making him give a sharp hiss of sound and stopped the girl for a moment. "Shippo? Shippo?! You ok?" He gave a look to Sesshomaru, mostly because he made a girl worry for him. Then jumped back into the tree, this time higher up and well out of reach.
"I'm fine Eri." He grinned again after all he was still in full flirt mode. "So tell me where can I meet up with you and Kagome. I was hoping to have a chance to see your school, and learn more about such a cute sounding girl."
Shippo got the information that was needed, and was hanging from another branch by the time the rest of the group form him and Sesshomaru. The last thing they heard from the crafty fox demon, made them all smile. "Sure we would love to meet with the both of you at lunch. See you then."
some meanings for you :
Ōkami - wolf demon
Inugami daiyōkai - great dog demon
Inugami han'yō - dog demon halfbreed
It looks like some new bits of trouble are starting to brew, for Kagome. I'll try to update soon, and please let me know what you think!!
