Chapter 12- Rainy Dayz
They sat in quiet anticipation, all gathered in a corner of the bar, waiting anxiously. As they did everyday at six everyday, holding their cards, hoping that theirs would be victorious. That card: the ticket out of poverty and into the limelight.
"And the first number is: seventy-seven!"
About half of the bar threw their tickets to the ground, groaning about the lottery being a rip-off.
"The second number is… forty-two!"
Another group threw their cards to the side, about four still remained.
"The third number is… twenty-one!"
Two remained.
"And the last and final number is… zero!"
Everyone groaned. "What the hell is this?! They know no one ever gets zero!" Sango yelled, ripping up her lottery card and throwing the tattered remains on the floor and storming off into the back room, going in at the same time Shippo came out.
"Shippo, did you wash all the glasses?" Miroku asked.
"I sold you my childhood for minimum wage you slave driver!" Shippo plopped down on the stool, leaning his head against the bar. "Hey, what's this?"
Shippo picked up the tattered pieces of card off of the floor. "77, 42, 21, 0-"
Miroku snatched the piece from the kitsune. The zero was scratched through the middle to look like an eight, but sure enough, it was a zero. "This is Sango's card."
"You mean she won?!"
"She would've, if she hadn't damaged the card…" he trailed off.
"Do we tell her she just lost ten thousand dollars?"
"Neh." They both said at the same time.
Meanwhile…********************************************************
"Mommy, look at the man with the pink hair!"
"Shush you, it's not polite to point!"
"Wow, I've never seen a drag queen up close before! He could easily pass as a woman!"
"Shut up you infidels! How dare you insult Sesshoumaru-sama like that!"
Sesshoumaru growled at them, causing them to go back to their business. Rin took his hand and pulled him along the aisle, cheerful as usual. "Excuse me ma'am, can you tell me where the hair dye section is?" Rin asked, pulling on an employee's sleeve.
The woman looked down. "Why of course, dear. Do you have an adult with you?" The woman looked back, stifling a chuckle. "I see. Aisle six."
He went off, dragging Rin along with him, grumbling things that a seven year old shouldn't hear.
"Well, well, well, I didn't think you'd come out in broad daylight." He winced slightly at the sound of her voice. Of all the people he could've met in the supermarket, it had to be her. The little vixen who had done this to his hair in the first place.
"What do you want, Kagura?" He asked carefully, trying with all his might to hold his temper, I was hoping I didn't have to see you again until Friday."
"I missed you too," she replied dryly, "trying to get your hair back to normal, I see."
"What I do is none of your business."
"Still at little sour puss I see. Well, I'd love to stay and wallow in your misery, but I've got groceries to buy, my siblings eat like a pack of rabid wolves." She walked off.
Meanwhile…**********************************************************
"Inuyasha, are you sure you want to come out here? It's still drizzling and you've already been in the rain too long."
"I'm fine, for the hundredth time!"
They walked through the park, Kagome holding an umbrella over his head. He already look a little green from standing out in the rain too long, and Kagome couldn't help, but feel a bit guilty.
He leaned against a fence, looking out onto the rest of the park. "We need to talk. About us." He repeated again.
"Inuyasha, I've already told you, I don't want to be a part of this."
"You don't understand, Kagome. I-I need you."
"And when you don't?!" Her voice was cold and melancholy as she pulled away from him, her back turned. "I wanna get married too, Inuyasha. I want to have kids. I want to have a family just like almost every other woman in the world. I can't be that happy with you, you're already married. What's going to happen when you're done with me? You're just going to throw me out, me ending up being the only one hurt because I had a fling with a married man? And what if you're wife finds out, Inuyasha? She's the woman you exchanged vows with! I can't believe you'd be so cold as to do this to her. Don't you love her at all?"
He looked down at the sidewalk. At puddle had formed about a foot away from him, he frowned as he looked at his reflection, before replying, "I guess not."
She looked up at him, tears welling in her eyes. "T-That's why I can't, why I can't do this. You have no fidelity in your relationship, Inuyasha. How do I know you won't hurt me?"
He turned back towards her again, this time walking towards her. He reached out to put a hand on her shoulder, but she flinched and moved away from him.
"I-I can't say."
"I knew it."
"No Kagome!" He grabbed her by the shoulders, forcing her to look up at him. "You don't know! I can't say it, because I won't say it. Because if it say it, it'll bring false hopes. I don't know anything about the future, hell, I hardly make it through the present. I can't say what I want to say to you because it'll sound phony at the moment, and you probably won't believe it."
She looked up at him, tears falling down her cheeks, she prepared to say something, anything, but she looked pass him and her eyes widened.
"Inuyasha, look out!"
A gunshot was heard.
"Inuyasha!"

I love cliffhangers, don't you?
Anyway, in the next chapter, we'll get both sides of the story, since so far I've made Inuyasha look like an ass for cheating on his wife. Then in the chapter after that, I'll add some Miroku and Sango. Sorry about any grammar of spelling errors in this chappie, for some reason it won't let me go back and fix them.
BTW: Can anybody tell me what L.M.A.O. means?
Quote of the day:
Hilary- You want money from him, Will? Here's what I do. You take him by the hand, look deep into his eyes and say: "Daddy, I have cramps."
Will- Hilary, I don't think that'll work for me.
Carlton- He's right. When I told Dad that he sent me to a specialist.
