Love is Pathetic
Chapter 2
The Bitterness of the Hanyou
---------------------
Inuyasha was lying on his bed, not doing anything as usual. He never has anything to do, other than torturing his only friend, a very lecherous monk called Miroku. Miroku was a priest working for Inuyasha' family, but becasue of his pervertedness, he was never accepted, and even shunned by the other priest.
'Just like I've never been accted by those snotty nobles.' Inuyasha thought bitterly. He got up from his bed slowly. He had tried to tell himself that he did not need any friends other than Miroku, but deep down, he knew he wanted to belong to this world. He flattened his hair slowly with his hand. 'That's where my pain started.' Inuyasha thought as his hands touched a pair of small dog ears on top of his head. Unwanted, agonizing memory began to flood over him, not giving him a chance to resist it.
--Inuyasha was just three years old, barely old enough to remember. He still had friends then. He was playing with one of them one day, when triggered by curiousity, his friend stood up on tip-toes and touched his ears. "Where did you get these?" His friend asked. "I had them when I was born." Inuyasha answered truthfully, not knowing that it was that sentence that costed his happiness. "What!" A new voice entered the conversation. It was Inuyasha's friend's father. He came and dragged his son away from Inuyasha. "Stay away from my son, demon!"--
Inuyasha closed his golden eyes, trying to shut out his past. But it was no use. It just kept on coming back, haunting him.
--Inuyasha was five. He ran to his mother. "Mother, where is my daddy?" He knew everyone had a father, but he had never met his. He wanted to know who his father was. He had just tried to get one of his friends back, but the friend's mother would not even let him get close. "Stay away, you bastard!" She said sharply. Inuyasha, despite his age, knew what a bastard was. He hated being called that. Just because he did not know his father, doesn't mean people can start treating him like dirt.
"Mother, can I see my daddy?" Inuyasha asked again. His mother looked sad, very sad. It was a long time before she answered. "All right." Inuyasha's heart was filled with joy. He had a father, and he was going to meet him. He would stop being known as the bastard, because he has a father!
Two days later, a very high-spirited Inuyasha and his mother walked into the vast forest behind the royal palace. They waded deeper and deeper into it until they reached a clearing where the trees completely blocked out the sun. Inuyasha's Mother lit a torch, and stopped."I think it's time for you to meet your son, InuTaisho." Inuyasha's mother called out.
The trees around them began to move. Inuyasha was suddenly scared. What was his mother doing? Didn't she know this forest is filled with demons? Why was she calling out? Inuyasha thought they were going to meet his father, not meet some demon!
The movement stopped. A dark figure began to step out of the pitch blackness of the clearing. Slowly, the light of the torch began to fall onto the figure approaching them. He looked like a double of Inuyasha, but bigger and more muscular. He also had the same ears as Inuyasha's. Inuyasha's mother ran up to him and gave him a hug. She turned back to Inuyasha, and smiled. "Inuyasha, this is your father."--
The twenty-year-old Inuyasha finally shook off the memory. He scowled at his own head. He hated it when his own mind would not listen to his command. He wanted to go outside, but undoubtably, everyone living in his mansion would try to avoid him with the exception of Miroku, who would try to drag him off somewhere to meet girls.
He was hesitating about what to do, when his mother came into his room. "Hello, mother." He greeted.
"Hello, Inuyasha." His mother said cheerfully. "I think I have found something for you to do today."
Inuyasha did not answer. He just looked at his mother. She was beautiful, more beautiful than anybody he had ever met before. She was the most popular noble before he was born. She was the sole heir to one of the largest noble houses. She was also the fantasy of every man who had met her, but one day, everything was changed. People found out that she was pregnant. More, when Inuyasha was born, they found out that she had had a demon's child. From that time on, she was shunned with Inuyasha. No, because of Inuyasha...
"Inuyasha, are you listening to me?" Inuyasha's mother called out, breaking Inuyasha's thoughts.
"Um..."
"All right, I'll say it again. You know who Princess Kagome is, right?"
"Of course, everyone knows who she is." There was a slight scorn in his voice.
"Yes, her mother could not get her to marry anyone, so now she is going to choose some eligible young men to live in the palace and spend time with her, until she chooses one to be her husband."
"Let me guess," Inuyasha cut in. "You want me to be one of those 'eligible young men'."
"Yeah, something like that."
Inuyasha sighed. "No, mother. I'm not going to go live in some palace just to please a snotty princess. Besides, they would never choose me, since I am half demon."
His mother's eyes went blank. "You can't hold that as an excuse to not go out." She said calmly.
"I'll get Miroku and we'll find something to do." Inuyasha knew this was always a good compromise.
"Good, if I find you here thirty minutes later, you have to cook for a week, and eat it yourself!" Inuyasha's mother threatened, and exited the room.
Inuyasha winced uncontrollably. The thing he hated the most was cooking, not to mention bad at. Eating his own cooking would be like being in hell. He quickly ran out of his room into the family shrine.
"Miroku, where are you?" Inuyasha called. Every single priest in the shrine backed away from him slowly. He ignored them, and tried to find one priest who wore purple. There, Miroku was walking towards him.
"Hey, dog-boy. What brings you here today?" Miroku said cheerfully. the two of them walked out of the shrine towards the gate of the mansion. "Did your mother threaten you with your own cooking again?"
Inuyasha cursed silently. He hated how good Miroku knows him, despite the arrogant face he puts on. "No, I'm just bored. Did you find anything interest we can do?"
Miroku grinned. "Of course. You know I always have things in mind when it comes to going out somewhere."
Inuyasha was annoyed. "Just spill it."
"Right. You know Princess Kagome, or more her mother, is selecting men to be her husband, right?"
Inuyasha groaned. "Oh no, not this again!"
Miroku looked confused. "What? Your mother wanted you to be selected?"
Inuyasha just scowled.
Miroku tried hard to hide his laugh as he continued. "No, I wasn't thinking of getting you into the selection, however tempting that is. I was thinking that with your power, we could sneak into the palace and spy on Princess Kagome and those pathetic nobles trying to kiss up to her."
Inuyasha was very bored with the idea. "Why? What's the point?"
Miroku looked stunned. "Don't you know she is the most beautiful woman in the country? Other than your mother, of course. She is also famed for hating men. No matter how much they try to get her to even smile, every single one of them failed. It will be very interesting and funny to see what they would actually do to even get her to talk to them."
Inuyasha was slightly intrigued by the idea. He would love nothing more than seeing his ex-friends being embarrassed by some girl. "All right. We'll do that."
"Good, I knew you would go." Miroku said happily as the two of them made their way to the palace.
--------------------
Yep, that's this chapter. In the next one, Inuyasha and Kagome would meet each other briefly. And Sesshomaru makes his debute. I'm going to have a lot of fun with that one.
