Thanks for the reviews- they give me hope! It's probably the first story
I've written worth reading, and it's going to get fun! Wooo! Alright!
Here's chapter three!
Chapter three
Miroku screamed in reaction to the girl's scream of panic, but when he saw why she was screaming, he gasped and almost fell over.
"Well, cousin, I always knew you were kind of different, but..." Inuyasha looked at the cabbie like he had just grown a second head. Then he looked at the girl in his arms, trying to figure out why she was so frightened. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw his hat lying on the floor.
"Dang it!" He muttered. He stood up slowly, making sure Kagome didn't fall when he let go. "So, I suppose you'll me wanting an explanation of some kind now." The tone in his voice was a warning, but Kagome missed the underlying challenge.
She was surprised that her always calm doctor and boss had such a twist to his voice. "Dr. Morito.... I..."
"Kagome," Miroku started, with an evil glare from Inuyasha, "You know, maybe you should stick with plain Inuyasha." She turned to him in surprise.
"Why?"
"Ya wanna let me tell her, Baka?" Inuyasha snapped. Miroku shrunk from the doctor and he took that as consent. "Thank-you. Look," turning to Kagome, he realized that she was still shaken up. His tone softened. "Kagome, way back when, in the feudal era, I was in a fight with one of my cousins. He wanted my fathers tomb from my eye to put on his necklace, and believe me, getting a marble pulled out of your eye isn't something that you want to have happen more than once in your lifetime.
He was cheating. I don't think there was a single rule he didn't break. I was almost down for the count when I decided I needed breathing room and threw some sand in his eyes. Of course, that's all anyone rermembered, and they all decided to shun me. Once they got tired of shunning me, and me tolerating it, they started physically assaulting me. The first few waves, I handled easily, but the started giving me more and more trouble. Feh. I was forced into hiding. After a while, I decided to just live, and by now, false identity was easily come by.
So until now, I've been avoiding the whole mess rather well. I've even had a little peace. But now, one of the family has found me out, so..."
"Hey!" Miroku interrupted. "I'll have you know, I don't intend to tell the family leaders that you've been found."
"Oh yeah?" Inuyasha looked skeptical. "And what's the catch?"
"Let me work here."
Kagome snapped her eyes to him and Inuyasha pricked his ears. "What?" they asked in unison.
"I don't want to be a cabbie."
"That's all?" Inuyasha was truly puzzled.
"That's all."
"I think that sounds fair." Kagome jumped in. "I mean, that works out rather nicely. You help each other out."
"Well, alright..." Inuyasha thought for a minute. "I'm going to need to invent a position, but I'll call you in the morning."
"Really?"
"Yeah..." Inuyasha turned to Kagome and pulled her up off the ground. "Let me give you a ride home."
"Alright..."
Okay, I'm too tired to write more, but I'll have the ride home next time. I'll try to get it done soon, too. Okay, love y'all.
