Boarding School by Coly456
I do not own Inuyasha.
That night when we were leaving the club Inuyasha asked me if I wanted to walk home so we did.
"So tell me Miss. Higurashi what makes you, you." he asked smirking looking over at me as we walked through the park.
"Well I would have to say family and friends. They help me become stronger and smarter, and even support me if I do something wrong." he nodded his head as we sat down near a tree leaning against the trunk. "What about you Mr. Takashi?" I asked.
"Pain. I've been through so much that the pain of it all makes me stronger, most people say that's what makes me weak. But do you want to know a secret?"
"Sure." I was hooked on every word that left his mouth. It was official I was addicted.
"My only weakness is when I see a girl cry." he whispered into my ear.
"A girl crying? Really?"
"Yeah. Doesn't matter who it is I just break down. That's how I meet Kikyo. She was the new girl and I hate new people but I found her crying behind a tree and I couldn't help myself. I fell and I fell hard."
"That's what love does, you know? It takes you for the ride you never know when it will end or if it ever will. But when it does end the pain will never truly go away." this was what my mom had told me so many times when I asked her about love or my dad.
"That's just it I didn't love her, I said I did and I thought I did but I knew I didn't. She accepted me that's what I wanted. I forced myself to think she was perfect and that she had no problems." he looked over at me leaning the side of his head against the tree.
"But she wasn't was she?" I asked copying him.
"Not even close. Did you know she cheated on me? A total of four time's each time a different guy and they did a lot more then kiss." he chuckled coldly. "I could smell it all over her but I just didn't want to believe it."
"I wouldn't want to either. Because once you admit something like that is true you feel empty, scared, and confused."
"How do you know so much about this stuff?" he looked at me amazed.
"Okay I'll tell you but you cant tell anyone!"
"No problem you're secret is safe with me."
"Well the summer before my freshman year of high school I met the most perfect guy you could ever ask for even if he was a jellyfish. But everything else was perfect. He would buy me presents take me out. Of course though that didn't last one night we went dancing at the same club we went to tonight. He kept touching me and I didn't like it, that's when he told me I was just his toy. I knew since I met him that I was I'm not stupid but getting told that still hurt, it felt like he ripped out my heart stumped on it then put it back upside down." I wiped at my cheeks when I felt the hot liquid fall from my eyes. "Although I met someone great that night to but I cant really remember him." I was in deep thought when I herd Inuyasha speak.
"That was you?!" He leaned up and kneeled on his knees looking at me."
"That was me what?" I blinked looking at him like he was crazy.
" That day at the club you were crying and you were trying to get out but you bumped me just in time to get my drink all down the front of you I lent you my jacket."
"That's right it was you, and it was a red jacket I cant believe I forgot it even said Takashi on it I remember my mom going crazy saying that I actually meet a Takashi in person!" I leaned up to so now we were both on our knees pointing at each other.
"You stole my Jacket!" he yelled jokingly
"You ruined my dress!" I yelled back and we started laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes.
"That was the night my life turned to hell." he whispered as he leaned back on the tree again.
"Huh?" I though he was talking about me.
"Kikyo left me that night, also the night I came home drunk, the drink I spelled down the front of you was already like the fourth one so even not knowing me you helped me I guess." he shrugged a little but still looked up and smiled at me.
"Yeah that was both a bad night and a good night."
"How in the hell was it good?"
"Well I met you and got a new jacket which I still have so I guess it is good." I blushed at telling him I still had the jacket.
"Yeah I guess I did get to see a good looking girl but you look a hell of a lot better when you're not crying.'' he smirked when he saw my blush grow darker. He stood up and reached out a hand to pull me up.
"Well we better go before people start to wonder, and you really kept that jacket?"
"Well it was a nice jacket and it made everyone Jealous because I met a Takashi and not just any Takashi the one our age." I smiled when he smirked a little.
"So we Takashi's have a big name at you're school?"
"No just you. You were on almost every girls locker, and all the boy's hated you because the answer to 'will you go out with me' was always 'no Inuyasha Takashi is the only male for me' It was crazy."
"What about you?"
"Well I thought you were cute but I thought you would be a jerk but I was wrong you're okay." I smiled up at him as I took his left hand in mine. We walked through the streets quietly holding hands.
"Can I ask you something again?" I asked looking up at him.
"Shoot." he responded looking down for a brief second then back up.
"Why did you get the Tattoo? Strength." I lifted his wrist and traced the symbol and felt him shiver slightly.
"You're greatest strength is you're greatest weakness.' My mom used to tell me that all the time so it became my saying or what I lived by but I haven't found neither of those things yet this helps me remember it."
"That's a good saying, your mother seems like a bright person."
"Yeah she cares a lot to. Her parents were abusive so she is trying to give us the best life we can have, I just happen to be the screw up, dad hates me he would rather rip of my head then have me cause trouble."
"That's how he cares you know. Parents are like that they say they are disappointed but they are really just scared. They don't know what to do so they yell and hurt you but really inside their saying I care and I want to help. For them to say this they just need a little push in the right direction." I said thoughtfully as I traced his tattoo over and over.
"Like what a Thank you for yelling I don't think that would work."
"Well when my mom found out that I went to clubs and stuff she didn't talk to me for weeks until I told her I was sorry, and she confessed and said she was just scared." I shrugged my shoulders.
"Yeah well my dad will never listen."
"You have to try maybe he will he sure as hell listened to me.'' I laughed at that but stopped when I herd a growl.
"But he hurt you that's not good!" he yelled
"Wrong it's a reaction which shows I'm right he just hates being told he's wrong that's why he yelled at you're mom and sister."
"So how will I do it."
"We can get a bunch of people together to welcome back Shiori at you're parents house then we can get you and you're father to start a fight and that's where you can apologize and try to mean it okay."
"Okay we can suggest that to my mom how bout tomorrow I'll call my mom tonight she can set this up in two hours and be ready by tomorrow oh and I hope you have a nice dress this will be classy."
The rest of the walk was quiet the whole walk I traced his tattoo like I was trying to burn it into my memory, and he didn't seem to mind actually he smiled the whole time and would shiver every now and again. Yup it's official I love him and everything about him.
