A/N - I hope you enjoy the next part of the story!
Inuyasha's POV
I wake in a daze. "Happy birthday to me" I say in a sarcastic and bittersweet monotone voice. My mind brought me back to my past birthdays in the orphanages, when I could get off easy from all my chores. When I could walk past friend groups with being teased or bullied. I was too carried in my thoughts when I almost forgot what today was. Father's will...
Hurrying, I got dressed, the most formal attire I could muster from my very limited clothes, and headed out the door.
Stopping dead in my tracks, I realized that I didn't even know how to get to the address that was given to me. Miroku. He would help, right?
As days passed, Miroku and I got closer, and we became good friends. He had a computer, I've seen some before but I've never actually touched any. He told me the concept could give you any information at the tip of your fingers. I hope this computer is smarter than it looks.
Once at the bar, I find my friend drying some shot glasses. There aren't many customers so I take the opportunity to ask him about the address.
"Hey Miroku."
"Hey Ash, what brings you out here today?"
"Well, if it's not too much to ask, I need a favour. "
"Anything, name it."
I smile lightly. Miroku was like the brotherly figure I never had.
(Take that Sesshomaru...*hears Sesshy crying in the background* )
"I need to find an address but I don't know where it is..."
"Well that's what the word finding means," he chuckled, "Come on!" He leads me to the back of the store and asks me what the address is. I take the piece of paper out of my back pocket and read it out loud:
"160 Elizabeth Penthouse, Barry Rd"
Miroku hadn't even typed in the information I gave him, when he stared at me confused and profoundly shocked.
"You do know the type of people that live in that area, right?"
"Ummm no?" It sounded more like a question than a statement.
"Two words, rich people. Unless you're meeting with an emperor or something-"
"Yeah, its kind of personalyouknowI'mgoingtoretrievemyfather'sposessionsyeah."
"Hm? I didn't quite catch that, sorry."
"It's fine, nothing important."
Pointing to the computer, I ask if it knows where the address is.
He then types into a search bar (that's what it's called apparently), prints out a piece of paper, and says that it will take me fifteen minutes to walk there.
"Hey Ash, wanna lift?"
"Oh no thanks, I am fine." I give him a reassuring smile and walk out the door shouting a muffled 'I owe you'.
The paper says to turn right on Cambridge and walk for 800 meters before finding Riverside Dr. on the left. Once on Riverside, I have to look on the left again for Barry Rd.
Doesn't seem that bad, I guess. And just like that, as if the gods from above didn't think I was in a rough enough shape already, rain started pouring over the city like there was no tomorrow.
My damp hair started sticking to my sweaty neck and body, my jeans were getting heavier with the absorbed rain, and my white T-shirt was becoming transparent. It's days like this when I really wish I had my old hoodie. I got it when I was ten and I guess it just grew with me.
~ Flashback ~
I was wandering around the the orphanage when I came across a girl about sixteen years old. She saw my 'looking lost face' and was determined to bring me back to the quarters where kids my age were. While she brought me back, she asked about my backstory, and wasn't that surprised when she heard it. She had said a lot of people at the orphanage lost everything they've ever known to love. But she also said that when there is an end to something, there is always a beginning to something else. Whether it's good or bad, it's made for a reason. Because when there is Yin, there is Yang.
"Hi my name is Sango, what's yours?"
"I am Inuyasha."
"Hi Inuyasha, that's a very nice name you have."
"Thanks" Ten year old Inuyasha giggled. "I like youw name too! And I think youw haiw is pwetty."
"Aw, thanks a lot! You're one of the most kindest people I've met in this...place." I could tell she refrained from swearing in front of me. "So that is why I want you to have this," she said slipping her hoodie off of her and onto me, "My brother gave it to me before he passed away, he reminds me of you in a way." Now it's her turn to giggle. "We'll see you around Inuyasha, and don't forget, everyone needs to be forgiven at one point in life!" Confused but un-fazed by her words, I simply waved my hand while she returned to her quarters.
A week later, word was that she ran away from the orphanage, and little me was positive to be just like her, determined to escape.
~ End of flashback ~
(Inuyasha has arrived at his destination)
Well here goes nothing. I take a deep breath before pushing the red button. Would they let me in?
-Hello? What is your business here today?
-Well I um...received a letter that um...said I had to show up here for my father's will-
-What is your name, boy?
-In-Inuyasha...
-Very well, we've been expecting you here Master Inuyasha.
And so the silver gates open revealing a very HUGE penthouse. Matte black cars were parked around the round-about, and in the center of it was a water fountain. The lawn was bright green, almost neon looking. And then there was that pang of memory again. Just like at the police station. Had I been here before too? Was this a place belonging to one of father's clients? If so, what was I doing here? You know what, maybe I am over thinking this.
A bodyguard standing in front of the mansion gracefully opened the door. He seemed to have a expressionless mask on, until I reached the door.
"Welcome back, master Inuyasha."
"Ugh...thanks?"
What did he mean 'welcome back'?! I haven't got a clue but this is getting me worried.
Butterflies churn in my stomach as I was instructed to go to the top floor, then turn to the third door on the right. I was then handed a white towel to attempt to dry myself off to look presentable in front of well, who-ever I am meeting.
The hollow wood resonates under my heavy footsteps. Finding the instructed door that I was suppose to open, I rest my palm on the handle. Why I am I so worried? I go in and out. Simple.
As I enter, I find myself facing towards a fancy ebony desk with someone working behind a stack of papers.
"I swear Kouga, if you've come to interrupt me aga-"
I then realize what trouble I am in when amber eyes reconnect with mine. Sesshomaru.
A/N - ARghH they meet again! Idk if u guys are getting bored with the slow burn...probably. It's getting more to the point from now on, I promise...
Btw, I promise lots of fluff for the future!
*Dialogue with protags*
Inu - Hah, Miroku is a better brother than you...
Sesshy - I am better at other things, Inuyasha. We have yet to try them ~
Inu - *flabbergasted* You know Author-chan doesn't write smut!
Sesshy - ? I was talking about cuddling...but if you want ;)
Inu - STAHP
Author-chan - Did I intervene in time? I hope so...I only rated this K+ and I don't want to be flagged DX
Thanks again for reading!
( ͡°Ɛ ͡°) ( ͡°ω ͡°)
