Me: He's just shy. Now on to the first chapter!

Chapter 1: A New Friend

A young Inuyasha was sitting by a stream, hiding his small body in long grass that went over his head. Tears spilled down his cheeks, miserably. His mother had died only one month before, and he was all alone. Nobody in this world seemed to like him, let alone take him in. They were either scared as though he would rip them in half, or hated him and tried to hurt or kill him. As he sat there, hurt and depressed, he tossed stones into the river. 'I don't understand. It's not fair,' he thought. 'I didn't do anything to anyone, still they hate me. Why are they so cold? Can't they see I'm part human as well? I know other demons will attack people for no reason, but do I have to be lumped together with them? Is that why they never give me a chance?' As he continued to toss stones, another stone suddenly flew out, skipping across the water twice.

Inuyasha jumped and turned. Next to him a boy had appeared, a little older than Inuyasha. He had dark hair and eyes and he looked angry. Inuyasha waited for the boy to start pelting something at him, but the strange boy continued to stare at the water, skipping rocks, aware of Inuyasha's presence but not acknowledging him. So Inuyasha relaxed and continued to throw rocks.

Suddenly the boy said, "I hate people."

"What?" Inuyasha turned to face him.

"Just what I said. I hate people. They're all cold and mean and hateful."

"But you're a person too," Inuyasha pointed out, confused.

"I know. I hat myself as well."

"Oh," Inuyasha fell silent, slightly embarrassed. And a little unnerved. Then, after a pause, he asked, "How do you make the rocks jump like that?"

"Simple. You find a flat rock and toss it sideways, really hard." For the first time, the boy looked directly at Inuyasha, and for a moment the half demon thought he would scream or taunt or yell. But no new expression came to the boy's face and the only sound he made was two words: "Nice ears."

"Huh?" His reaction was not one Inuyasha expected.

"I like your ears. They look like dog-ears. They're nice."

"Do you know what it means?"

"That you're half human?"

Inuyasha was more surprised. Most people called him a half breed, or a half demon. Never half human. Until now. "Aren't you scared?"

"Why?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why should I be scared?"

Inuyasha felt tears come into his eyes and he looked down, trying to hide them. "Because- I'm a- half breed."

"So? I don't hate others without a cause, and you've given me no reason to dislike you of be scared. You don't seem ready to attack me and you don't look malicious. You seem, in fact, to be a little fearful of me."

"Only because a lot of people hate me and hurt me. I thought you would be the same."

The boy looked at him thoughtfully. "People have hurt me so much, I can't believe they are trustworthy. We may have different origins, but we're not so different, the two of us. You're protective of yourself, and so am I. You don't expect more than what you've experienced. Same with me. I've never met anyone so like me."

"I've never met any human who could like me," Inuyasha admitted. "The only person who ever cared about me is my mother, and she's dead." Inuyasha felt more tears come to his already red eyes, but he held them back.

"I'm sorry. My parents are dead too."

Inuyasha turned to him. "What's your name?"

"I'm Johnny C., but you can call me Nny. And what's your name?"

"Inuyasha."

"In-u-yasha." Johnny smiled. "I like that name."

Inuyasha smiled and Johnny thought, 'And I like the half human it belongs to.'

Johnny and Inuyasha always met at the same place. Not like they ever wanted to be anywhere else. They always sat throwing rocks into the river while talking. Inuyasha admired Johnny's intelligence, and Johnny admired Inuyasha's will to survive.

One day as Inuyasha waited for Johnny by the river, he heard a strange sound. He turned to see Johnny, his face in his hands, crying. He walked over to him. "Nny, what's wrong?"

Johnny looked up at him sadly. "I have to leave."

"Leave? Why?"

"My foster parents don't want me anymore. I've been to hundreds of places, and nobody ever keeps me more than a month."

Inuyasha felt tears in his eyes and didn't bother to hold them back. They spilled out of his eyes and streamed down his cheeks. "I'm sorry," he said in a voice barely above a whisper.

"That's not the worst part. The worst part is I never remember where I've been once I've left. My memory just wipes everything away."

"You won't remember me?"

"I don't know. But I'll try to. Really hard, too." He dropped to the ground and continued to cry. Inuyasha sat down besides him, wanting to comfort him, but Inuyasha was crying so hard, he needed comfort himself.

Early the next morning, Johnny ran to Inuyasha's house, finding it only by his scent. He saw Johnny just as some official looking people were leading him away. "Wait!" Inuyasha cried. The officials turned, and, seeing him, started to back away, so Inuyasha didn't come forward, instead just stayed where he was. "Goodbye Johnny."

Johnny nodded, with tears in his eyes. "Goodbye Inuyasha." The officials led him away and he disappeared around a corner.

One of the foster parents came out of the house with a weapon. "Get away from my house, you filthy demon!" Inuyasha ran and hid back by the stream, with tears in his eyes. Why did the only people he ever cared about always leave him? First his mother, and now his only friend at the time. His heart always ended up being broken. It just wasn't fair.

Scribble: Awww....

Me: yeah, I actually felt kinda bad writing that. I'm so horrible. Well, for those confused, I gave Johnny a short-term memory cause in JtHM #4; he says something like he doesn't remember much, how it's all blurry. Yeah. Uh, I'll probably have the next couple of chapters up shortly. If you wish to review, as I said earlier, please don't flame me too much. Good reviews will be much appreciated, so thank you in advance. Long Live The Half Demon!
