Hello!
Chapter 6- Tokyo
By: KNE
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Whooooooooo hooooooooooo!" the shout of Inuyasha Takashi could be heard throughout the whole mansion. He ran through the halls and then slammed his body against Sesshomaru's office door. Sesshomaru looked up from his work, bored and then set down his pen calmly.
Inuyasha held up the white piece of paper in his hands and slammed it down hard on Sesshomaru's desk, making all the contents on it rattle and shake.
"Ha!" he yelled. "All C's!! How's that!" Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow and then reached over his desk to pick up the thin piece of paper with black computer ink on it. He leaned back on the soft office chair and ran his finger down all the grades.
"All c's?" he asked. Inuyasha's smiled disappeared and turned into anger. "I expected more…"
"What?!!!" Inuyasha screamed. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and then started again.
"C's aren't exactly very good grades. I actually consider them very bad." Inuyasha snatched the paper from Sesshomaru and glared at him.
"That's not fair, Sesshomaru! You said if I had passing grades I could go. You can't fucking change things around!" He was at the verge of killing Sesshomaru with his own hands. Sesshomaru yawned and then picked up his pen once more.
"I'm afraid I did say that. I guess I'll send you to Tokyo, like I promised with our deal." Inuyasha glared at him and then nodded. He walked out the door and then chuckled to himself. School was over, and it was summer break. That meant he had three months in Tokyo.
It's going to be a blast! Inuyasha hurried down the hall and up the elevator upstairs. The first thing he had to do was pack. He was going to be gone for a while and he needed summer clothes. Inuyasha plopped down on the bed and picked up a picture that he had of him and Kagome on his dresser.
It was a recent picture of them both sitting on a tree. Of course Inuyasha looked like he was pissed off as usually, but Kagome kept the same smile, with her baseball cap put on sideways and her overall hanging loosely on her.
For the past four months, everything had been like hell, maybe even worst. The first thing he would probably do was hunt Kagome down and kill her for making him suffer so badly. Well at least, all his studying did paid off. Maybe Myouga was right when they spoke a while ago in the kitchen.
What Inuyasha had already planned, was to get Kagome to go home with him, and then for the rest of the summer have one hell of a time, since almost half of his school year was ruined. There were no partying and of course, no girls!!!
"Kagome, that wench thinks she can get away…" Inuyasha muttered as he set the picture down and went into his closet to find a suitcase.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sango sat on top of the wall next to Inuyasha and Shippo
"So you're going tomorrow?" Sango asked. Inuyasha nodded and stared out at the streets of Kyoto.
"Summer's gonna be boring without you and Kagome," Shippo said, his head falling down and his red hair falling across his face. Inuyasha looked over at the boy with a small build and smiled. He took the piece of grass out of his mouth and tossed it at him.
"Are you telling me that you're fucking going to miss me?" he asked. Shippo's head shot up and he looked at Inuyasha nervously.
"No!" he yelled. Sango laughed and Inuyasha joined in. "I don't mean you…I can care less if you never come back. It's Kagome that I miss…"
"Oh really?"
"Yes, really! She's the one that's nice and the one who protects me from you…bone head!" Shippo shouted. Inuyasha raised a fist making Shippo wince.
"Well if I wasn't here, then who would Kag protect you from?"
"If you weren't here then, I wouldn't have to worry at all. And I would have to you poor Kagome as a shield all the time!" Inuyasha grabbed Shippo's head and gave punched him a few times on the head, making at least six new bumps.
Shippo groaned and rubbed his head, while glared at a laughing Inuyasha.
"Baka.."
"What was that you said?"
"I said you were a BAKA!"
"Why you…."
Sango reached and slapped Inuyasha across the head.
"Stop it!" she yelled. Inuyasha pulled away from Shippo.
"Are you gonna miss me too?" he asked sweetly. Sango slapped him lightly across the face.
"Actually, I'm not gonna miss you're bickering, but the rest…maybe." Shippo bounced up still rubbing the sore spot on his head.
"Same here…" Inuyasha elbowed him in the chest, making him fall over once more.
"Tell Kagome that we miss her," Sango said. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and then nodded.
"…and if she doesn't come home, drag her!" Shippo yelled, huddled over covering his head. It was his only way of self-defense against Inuyasha.
"Don't worry about that, Kagome probably wants to come home. I mean, she probably didn't even make any friends."
"Yeah, that's what you think Inuyasha. Don't forget Kagome's a real nice and interesting person. I think a lot of people would like her. Her personality is well…let's just say it's the total opposite of yours." Sango smiled and pulled her knees to her chest.
"Tokyo is huge, there's going to be a lot of people there. How will you find her?" Shippo asked. Inuyasha smirked and shrugged.
"Sesshomaru found out for me," Inuyasha said. "Even though I haven't talked to Kagome for a while, I'm sure it'll be fine. I just could never get a hold of her on the phone." Sango lowered her eyes and then sighed.
"God, I miss her. But.….Inuyasha, haven't you notice that this whole Kagome situation has actually brought you closer to Sesshomaru?"
There was a strong scary silence. Shippo tried to crawl away and Sango bit her tongue, almost causing it to bleed.
"Inuyasha?" Sango asked. Inuyasha's head was lowered and he was breathing back and forth.
"DON'T YOU EVER SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed. Both Sango and Shippo yelped and stood up quickly.
"But…Inuyasha, it's true!"
"I hate Sesshomaru, and that's final. Don't think I'm suddenly soft because we both had some kind of fucking agreement," Inuyasha muttered. "I'll hate that mutt for the rest of my life!"
"But he's your brother!"
"Half brother!"
"Still, he's family!"
"Family that I hate!"
"He's helping you!"
"Do I give a shit? I just need to get to Tokyo." Sango and Shippo sighed.
"It's hopeless," Sango whispered. Inuyasha's anger disappeared right away and then he stood up.
"I should get ready. I'm gonna surprise Kagome though," he said. Sango and Shippo nodded, but their bodies were still shaking.
"Tell her hi, for me…" Shippo said. "…and tell her that this big jerk has been beating me up since she left!" he called after Inuyasha. Inuyasha spun around, causing Shippo to jump once more.
"Okay! See you in three months!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha boarded off the bus with a bad attitude and a pissed off expression. Sure, Sesshomaru said he would send Inuyasha to Tokyo, but in a bus!!
Hours of sitting in a cramped bus with hundreds of smelly old people, was fucking lame. There was no air condition, the bus smelled like B.O, and Inuyasha was stuck sitting in between grandma and a little non-stop talking brat.
"I'm going to kill him, when I see him again," Inuyasha said. He should have been making his way out the airport, but instead he was at a big bus station and had no idea where the fuck he was in Tokyo. Inuyasha pulled his bag from the bus and headed out the exit as fast as he could.
The first thing he had to do, was find Kagome. The streets were very busy, with people laughing and shouting. Inuyasha pushed his way pass them and waved his hand in the air for a taxi. Apparently no one stopped and he wasn't even sure if there were any cabs around.
"Stupid…" he muttered. His duffle bag was getting heavy. He took out the small little piece of paper that was rolled up into a ball in his pocket and opened it up.
"150 Shikon lane…" he said. This was the address Sesshomaru had tossed to him saying 'Here's her address.' All Inuyasha had to do was get directions from someone. He looked up at all the tall buildings around him.
"So how the fuck am I suppose to find her?" He spent half the day running to gas stations and shops asking for directions. Half the people didn't even know what Shikon lane was and the other half gave him fifty different directions.
It wasn't until a woman gave him precise directions. Of course he believed her, since she seemed so sure. Everyone else hesitated or had to think. Inuyasha kept his head looking at the rumpled piece of paper, and glanced from house to house.
"Nope, nope, nope…" Inuyasha said, yawning and pulling his bag up. His shoulder was beyond sore. He spotted a man getting into a white car.
"Uh…excuse me!" Inuyasha called out. The man looked up, and shoved his briefcase inside the car.
"Do you know where this house is?" he asked, handing the man the piece of paper. The man looked at it and rubbed his eyes again. He laughed out loud.
"150 Shikon lane? Of course! How could you miss it? It's down the road, about a block away. Just keep walking, it won't be hard to spot." Inuyasha stared at the crazy man who kept on laughing.
"Uh..thanks?" Inuyasha snatched the paper and started walking again.
"Good luck getting in!" the man from the white car hollered out. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
"Strange people here…" He followed the man's direction down the world.
"147…148…149…150!" Inuyasha looked up and squinted his eyes.
"What the! Screw Sesshomaru!" he yelled. He was looking at a big black gate with a security guard near the side. He looked into the gate and saw a huge mansion, almost as big as his. It was a white California style looking mansion. There was a huge fountain that sprayed water on the large yawn in front of it. The grass was also the cleanly cut. There was no way Kagome could live here.
Either Sesshomaru had given him the wrong address or he had tricked Inuyasha. Either way he had wasted his whole day. Inuyasha walked up to the security guard. He seemed to look like he was ignoring him.
"Excuse me, does a Kagome Higurashi live here?" Inuyasha asked. The security guard looked at him with a gruff face.
"I'm sorry, but Miss. Higurashi does not speak to reporters," he said. Inuyasha's eyes widened. So Kagome did live here? There was no way. Maybe it was a different Kagome Higurashi.
"I'm not a reporter, I'm a friend…" the security guard stood up.
"That's what the last person said, and he ended up being an interviewer from Tokyo-Times (sorry, I had to think of some kind of name)." Inuyasha walked up to him.
"I….am…..not…..a….god…..damn…..reporter!!!!" Inuyasha shouted. "I'm a friend of Kagome's, now let me see her!" he yelled. The security guard shook his head.
"No can do, sir. You'll have to make some kind of appointment. No one speaks to Higurashi Hideaki's daughter without an appointment." Inuyasha's jaw dropped. Higurashi Hideaki…was Kagome's father. Inuyasha looked up at the mansion. But Kagome never mentioned anything about this.
"I have to see her! Just get her down here, just to see one look and then you'll get your proof!" Inuyasha shouted. The security guard moved towards him.
"Sir, I advise you to leave before there's any more trouble," he shouted.
"Bull shit," Inuyasha muttered, and punched the man across the face. The man fell backwards and landed on his butt. He reached for the walkie talkie on his belt.
"I need backup. We have a man he..." Inuyasha walked over and grabbed his collar.
"Just let me see her, that's all!"
"Not after this. You're dangerous!" the security guard yelled. Inuyasha growled as he felt two arms wrap around and pull hi to the ground.
"Stay still!" A new security guard was there now. "Call the cops!"
"Awww shit!" Inuyasha groaned. The security guard ran to the phone and began to dial. "C'mon! You can't do this! I need to see Kag!" In a way he pissed at the guards, but mostly at himself. He and his stupid temper!! Why did he have to crazy all of sudden and punch the guy.
The next thing Inuyasha knew, he was in the police car swearing under his breath, and looking at the cuffs on his hand. He looked out the window and through the gates to see the large mansion. The sky was darkening and the lights were going on, making the place even bigger.
"I'm so fucking confused…" Inuyasha said, as the car pulled away from the gate.
The security guards watched as the car turned the street, and wiped their sweats off their forehead. The phone rang, and they walked over to pick it up.
"Oh, good evening Miss. Higurashi………
oh, it's nothing big Miss. It was just a reporter wanting to get some
news out of you, we got rid of him….. okay! Good night Miss.Higurashi."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha groaned as he awoke from the small cell he was thrown into. The place was going lunatic with everyone shouting and yelling. There were phones ringing and lots of people in with hand cuffs.
"You are given one phone call…" A police man came, opening the door, letting Inuyasha out. Inuyasha pushed passed him and then followed him to the pay phone. Even though he didn't want to, he had to.
Sesshomaru was irritated over the phone. The first day Inuyasha goes to Tokyo and he gets thrown in jail, how great!
"I need to get out…" Inuyasha muttered.
"I can't believe it…"
"It's not my fucking fault! They wouldn't let me in!"
"You didn't have to punch anyone…."
"They were pissing me off!"
"Inuyasha, you piss me off the time and you don't see me punching you…"
"This sucks ass! C'mon Sesshomaru get me out of here…." There was a long pause on the other line of the phone.
"Maybe I should leave you there…."
"Fuck no! I'll kill you if I have to!!!" Inuyasha heard laughing and then a sigh.
"Your language is absurd, Inuyasha. Fine…I'll get you out." The next thing Inuyasha knew, the dial tone was on and the phone was dead.
"He better get me outta here!" Inuyasha hissed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After what felt like forever, a police man came in as fast as he could to open the door. He pulled Inuyasha out and bowed his head.
"We're so sorry about this. We didn't know you were Takashi Sesshomaru's brother…" he said. A police woman came and gave him the biggest smile he had ever seen.
"Are you really related to that wonderful man? We are so very sorry about this. All you had to say was that you were a Takashi." Inuyasha stared at them bored and in a way shocked. This was one thing he hated about saying he was Sesshomaru's brother. He got everything he wanted once people knew, and he hated it. They were only nice to him because of his older brother, and it was like Inuyasha only depended on Sesshomaru.
"Yeah, whatever…" he said. " Can I get my stuff back now?" The two police man/woman nodded and hurried to get his bag and cell phone. He reached into his wallet to pull out cash, but only found at least two hundred dollars.
"What the…." He had barely even used money, and he only had two hundred dollars? There was no way he could survive a day in Tokyo with two hundred. Inuyasha checked all his pockets and then groaned. He was so focused about going to Tokyo, he forgot to about money and expenses.
Inuyasha had planned for Kagome to invite him in and let him stay with her and her dad, but apparently it didn't turn out that way. Once Inuyasha was out of the station, he leaned against the wall and began to dial once more. Sesshomaru answered with the same bored voice.
"What do you want Inuyasha?"
"You don't sound excited to see me…."
"What is it now?"
"I'm out of money."
"Already?"
"Yeah."
"So what is it you want from me?"
"What the hell do you think?" Sesshomaru laughed and then lowered his voice.
"You don't remember our deal do you?"
"What?"
"The deal was that if you pass school with good grades, I would send you to Tokyo."
"Your point?"
"I never said anything about giving you money to stay in Tokyo…"
"Bull shit! Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha pounded his fist in the wall. "This is stupid, so you expect me to be a stupid hobo on the streets?"
"Sure….or you can get a job."
"A job?! Okay, I came here to have fun not to work!"
"Well things change. Either you get a job, or you starve." Inuyasha shut his eyes and slid down.
"What kind of job am I suppose to fucking find?"
"I dunno, do what you do best at. Maybe you should work at a dog house or something." Sesshomaru laughed again, which made Inuyasha even madder.
"Shut up. How am I suppose to find a job in one day?"
"Work hard, moron." There was a click and the phone was dead. His stupid half brother had hung up on him. Inuyasha growled and stood up. He threw his duffle bag over his shoulder and began looking for a so called job.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The whole morning was pathetic. Finding a job was harder than shit itself. Inuyasha had asked for jobs at a restaurants, movie theaters, stores….and even a pet shop! No luck though, everyone took one look at him, and thought of him as a dumb jock, which he probably was. The only thing now that he could probably do was be a model for like cologne or something, and Inuyasha hated that.
Hearing his stomach growl, Inuyasha headed towards a Mc Donald's like kind of restaurant and went to order a hamburger and drink. He didn't have much money, so he ordered the smallest amount he could get. Maybe he could get a job here as a busboy or something.
Inuyasha made his way back to the counter.
"Excuse me…. are you hiring or looking for new employees?" The person working the cash register looked at him and shook his head.
"No sir, we don't have any jobs open here," she said. Inuyasha growled and walked back to his meal. He took one bite of his hamburger and looked out the window. There was no way he was going to survive even a day now. With only little cash, he was probably going to look for food in the trash now.
"This sucks…" he muttered. Now he had lost his appetite. There was no use wasting food. Inuyasha threw his food into the bag and headed outside sipping his coke. He walked down an alley to find a place to rest that night. Now he really felt like a homeless freak.
Suddenly, he heard yelling and then a groan. Inuyasha dropped his stuff and ran towards the corner of the alley. He hid behind the wall and peeked over. What he found was pretty funny. It looked like four people was beating a guy.
"That's what you get for touching my woman!" A big guy shouted.
"…and mine!" they all jumped at the little guy once more. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and headed back towards his food. He started heading out the alley, when suddenly he felt guilty. Inuyasha turned around. For some dumb ass reason he felt bad for the fellow.
Again, Inuyasha dropped his bag and took one last drink of his coke, then tossed it aside. He started running towards the fight. Just as they were about to punch the man, Inuyasha ran full force and slammed his body against the big one. The two fell over instantly. Inuyasha jumped up just as the three other guys came after him. He dodged a punched and kicked a guy in the stomach.
Now the guy who was getting beat up jumped up to help. He pulled a tall guy off Inuyasha and punched him in the gut as hard as he could. Inuyasha pushed the last guy over and sat on him, punching the guy at least fifty times across the face.
"Who the fuck are you!" they shouted.
"You have no fight in this. It's between us and that pervert over there!" they shouted at the man who was getting beat up earlier.
"I don't give a fuck whose fight it is…" Inuyasha shouted and spat on the ground. The four men attacked Inuyasha at once. He felt a fist meeting with his jaw. Inuyasha wince as he felt blood fly from his lip.
"Damn you…" Inuyasha shouted, and returned the attack with an even harder punch. The man who was being called a pervert jumped into action and began punching the lights out of the big guy with his right hand alone. Inuyasha was quite surprise that this guy could fight.
After ten minutes of fighting, the four bullies were on the ground unconscious with bloody noses and a black eye. Inuyasha escaped with a bloody lip and a cut above his eyebrow. He was tired as hell, breathing back and forth. Inuyasha and the man leaned against the brick wall and slid down.
Inuyasha examined the guy. He had a innocent face with his hair tied in a short ponytail. He was wearing a black t-shirt with jeans.
"Awww…shit. Thanks man…" the guy said, trying to catch his breath. He didn't seem like a pervert. "I didn't think they would go this crazy. All I did was pinch the girl's butts…" Inuyasha sweat dropped and looked up at him. So he was a pervert!
"The name's Miroku Ly," Miroku said, coughing. Inuyasha looked around and then nodded.
"Inuyasha Takashi…" Miroku cleared his throat and yawned.
"So how did you see them beating me up?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha stood up and wiped his hands on his pants.
"I was finding a place to stay for the night…." Inuyasha said. Miroku raised an eyebrow.
"What? You don't look like a homeless person. Did your girlfriend kick you out?" he asked. Inuyasha looked at him and then shook his head.
"No! I'm outta cash, and I can't find a job!" Miroku nodded his head and laughed.
"So you're not from Tokyo then?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha shook his head. This guy seemed pretty friendly. It was kind of weird but why the hell was Inuyasha telling this stuff to him?
"Well I know exactly what to do with this kind of situation!" Miroku shouted. "It'll be like paying back for helping me just now." Inuyasha lifted his head and looked at him.
"What?"
"I can find a job for you. I know a job that you can surely do."
"Really!"
"Yeah! And they'll take you in even without an application. As long as you know how to do it!" Miroku stood up smiling. Inuyasha's face fell.
"Do your work there?"
"Yup!" All nasty thoughts entered Inuyasha's mind.
"You aren't a gigolo are you?"
"Huh?" Miroku asked. His face looked shocked but then funny at the same time.
"No way! I don't stoop that low! I may love women, but that's about it." Inuyasha sighed in relief than looked back up at him.
"Then what do you work for?" Miroku started walking out of the alley.
"Hurry up and follow me. I'll show you!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha's eyes widened when he saw a huge mansion in front of him. It was still smaller than his, but again it was surprising the Miroku worked here. Miroku dragged him in the gate and then towards a smaller house right next to it.
"This is the servants quarters, where we stay." Miroku said, pointing at the house. "There's about twenty of us… but there are enough rooms in there to share. You can stay here!" Inuyasha looked around.
"So you're a servant?" he asked.
"No, a chauffeur actually. I'm the only one, and we need another driver…" Miroku said. "So how about it?" Inuyasha looked around the place. Here he was, the richest bachelor in Japan along with Seshomaru, and now he was going to become some driver for someone else?
"Sure." Inuyasha said. Miroku raised his hands in the air.
"Great! Finally we have another man in the house!" he yelled. "All the servants are women…"
"Don't you like that though?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku sweat dropped and scratched the back of his head.
"I can always share….but most of them are old hags." Inuyasha laughed.
'So when do I start?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku tossed him a bag with a chauffeur uniform inside, including a hat.
"Now. The master needs to get to his company building." Inuyasha stared at Miroku with wide eyes.
"What?! I've only been in Tokyo for two days! How the hell am I suppose to know where things are?" Miroku scratched his chin.
"You're right! Hurry up and change. I'll start teaching you places as soon as possible. So you come with me while I drop off Kouga-sama." Miroku hurried up towards the black limo parked in front of the mansion.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The man Inuyasha worked for was very young, maybe a few years older than Inuyasha only. He had long black hair that was tied in a ponytail, and wore a business suit. He had ice blue eyes, and it looked like all the servants swooned over him (except Miroku and Inuyasha). Kouga Kanzaki was suppose to also be a good business man.
"He's one of the youngest out there too…" Miroku whispered to Inuyasha's ear, as Kouga made his way towards the limo.
"His number one priority is to defeat the person in number one rank in business. But so far, he's had no luck." Miroku said. Inuyasha looked behind him from the passenger seat.
"Who are you?" Kouga asked.
"Kouga-sama he's…"
"Was I talking to you?" Miroku swallowed and held onto the wheel tightly.
"My name's Inuyasha…"
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm a new driver here." Inuyasha didn't like the guy's attitude. He was stuck up and seemed to think he was better than everyone. He reminded Inuyasha of himself. Kouga didn't speak to him after that but directed Miroku to drive.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After three days, Inuyasha was settled in and actually remembered routes in Tokyo. He was getting used to memorizing things since he always had to at school. So far he was doing pretty good driving Kouga around and listening to Kouga criticize everything.
Now that he was actually getting a paycheck, and had a place to live, Inuyasha had to find a way to get to Kagome.
But it was impossible. There was no way those security guards would ever let him through after beating up them. He had to find a way to see her. She was Kagome, it wasn't like she was gonna stay cooped up in that mansion forever. But now, Inuyasha was busy driving Kouga there and there. He kind of felt bad for Miroku for being the only driver.
The two switched off once in a while, following Kouga's command. Inuyasha sat down in the driver's seat as Kouga and a man discussed business. They also discussed a huge party for the rich business men that worked in Japan. Unfortunately, Kouga made it clear that Inuyasha had to drive him there that night, even though Inuyasha planned to relax.
"Couldn't you just switch with me?" Inuyasha asked.
"Kouga seems to favor you driving. I would get in trouble if I do switch with you…." Inuyasha groaned and slammed his fist onto the hood of the car. So he had to drive Kouga to some stupid party, when he could be finding a way to see Kagome. That sucked big time.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Chapter 6- Tokyo
By: KNE
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Whooooooooo hooooooooooo!" the shout of Inuyasha Takashi could be heard throughout the whole mansion. He ran through the halls and then slammed his body against Sesshomaru's office door. Sesshomaru looked up from his work, bored and then set down his pen calmly.
Inuyasha held up the white piece of paper in his hands and slammed it down hard on Sesshomaru's desk, making all the contents on it rattle and shake.
"Ha!" he yelled. "All C's!! How's that!" Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow and then reached over his desk to pick up the thin piece of paper with black computer ink on it. He leaned back on the soft office chair and ran his finger down all the grades.
"All c's?" he asked. Inuyasha's smiled disappeared and turned into anger. "I expected more…"
"What?!!!" Inuyasha screamed. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and then started again.
"C's aren't exactly very good grades. I actually consider them very bad." Inuyasha snatched the paper from Sesshomaru and glared at him.
"That's not fair, Sesshomaru! You said if I had passing grades I could go. You can't fucking change things around!" He was at the verge of killing Sesshomaru with his own hands. Sesshomaru yawned and then picked up his pen once more.
"I'm afraid I did say that. I guess I'll send you to Tokyo, like I promised with our deal." Inuyasha glared at him and then nodded. He walked out the door and then chuckled to himself. School was over, and it was summer break. That meant he had three months in Tokyo.
It's going to be a blast! Inuyasha hurried down the hall and up the elevator upstairs. The first thing he had to do was pack. He was going to be gone for a while and he needed summer clothes. Inuyasha plopped down on the bed and picked up a picture that he had of him and Kagome on his dresser.
It was a recent picture of them both sitting on a tree. Of course Inuyasha looked like he was pissed off as usually, but Kagome kept the same smile, with her baseball cap put on sideways and her overall hanging loosely on her.
For the past four months, everything had been like hell, maybe even worst. The first thing he would probably do was hunt Kagome down and kill her for making him suffer so badly. Well at least, all his studying did paid off. Maybe Myouga was right when they spoke a while ago in the kitchen.
What Inuyasha had already planned, was to get Kagome to go home with him, and then for the rest of the summer have one hell of a time, since almost half of his school year was ruined. There were no partying and of course, no girls!!!
"Kagome, that wench thinks she can get away…" Inuyasha muttered as he set the picture down and went into his closet to find a suitcase.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sango sat on top of the wall next to Inuyasha and Shippo
"So you're going tomorrow?" Sango asked. Inuyasha nodded and stared out at the streets of Kyoto.
"Summer's gonna be boring without you and Kagome," Shippo said, his head falling down and his red hair falling across his face. Inuyasha looked over at the boy with a small build and smiled. He took the piece of grass out of his mouth and tossed it at him.
"Are you telling me that you're fucking going to miss me?" he asked. Shippo's head shot up and he looked at Inuyasha nervously.
"No!" he yelled. Sango laughed and Inuyasha joined in. "I don't mean you…I can care less if you never come back. It's Kagome that I miss…"
"Oh really?"
"Yes, really! She's the one that's nice and the one who protects me from you…bone head!" Shippo shouted. Inuyasha raised a fist making Shippo wince.
"Well if I wasn't here, then who would Kag protect you from?"
"If you weren't here then, I wouldn't have to worry at all. And I would have to you poor Kagome as a shield all the time!" Inuyasha grabbed Shippo's head and gave punched him a few times on the head, making at least six new bumps.
Shippo groaned and rubbed his head, while glared at a laughing Inuyasha.
"Baka.."
"What was that you said?"
"I said you were a BAKA!"
"Why you…."
Sango reached and slapped Inuyasha across the head.
"Stop it!" she yelled. Inuyasha pulled away from Shippo.
"Are you gonna miss me too?" he asked sweetly. Sango slapped him lightly across the face.
"Actually, I'm not gonna miss you're bickering, but the rest…maybe." Shippo bounced up still rubbing the sore spot on his head.
"Same here…" Inuyasha elbowed him in the chest, making him fall over once more.
"Tell Kagome that we miss her," Sango said. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and then nodded.
"…and if she doesn't come home, drag her!" Shippo yelled, huddled over covering his head. It was his only way of self-defense against Inuyasha.
"Don't worry about that, Kagome probably wants to come home. I mean, she probably didn't even make any friends."
"Yeah, that's what you think Inuyasha. Don't forget Kagome's a real nice and interesting person. I think a lot of people would like her. Her personality is well…let's just say it's the total opposite of yours." Sango smiled and pulled her knees to her chest.
"Tokyo is huge, there's going to be a lot of people there. How will you find her?" Shippo asked. Inuyasha smirked and shrugged.
"Sesshomaru found out for me," Inuyasha said. "Even though I haven't talked to Kagome for a while, I'm sure it'll be fine. I just could never get a hold of her on the phone." Sango lowered her eyes and then sighed.
"God, I miss her. But.….Inuyasha, haven't you notice that this whole Kagome situation has actually brought you closer to Sesshomaru?"
There was a strong scary silence. Shippo tried to crawl away and Sango bit her tongue, almost causing it to bleed.
"Inuyasha?" Sango asked. Inuyasha's head was lowered and he was breathing back and forth.
"DON'T YOU EVER SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed. Both Sango and Shippo yelped and stood up quickly.
"But…Inuyasha, it's true!"
"I hate Sesshomaru, and that's final. Don't think I'm suddenly soft because we both had some kind of fucking agreement," Inuyasha muttered. "I'll hate that mutt for the rest of my life!"
"But he's your brother!"
"Half brother!"
"Still, he's family!"
"Family that I hate!"
"He's helping you!"
"Do I give a shit? I just need to get to Tokyo." Sango and Shippo sighed.
"It's hopeless," Sango whispered. Inuyasha's anger disappeared right away and then he stood up.
"I should get ready. I'm gonna surprise Kagome though," he said. Sango and Shippo nodded, but their bodies were still shaking.
"Tell her hi, for me…" Shippo said. "…and tell her that this big jerk has been beating me up since she left!" he called after Inuyasha. Inuyasha spun around, causing Shippo to jump once more.
"Okay! See you in three months!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha boarded off the bus with a bad attitude and a pissed off expression. Sure, Sesshomaru said he would send Inuyasha to Tokyo, but in a bus!!
Hours of sitting in a cramped bus with hundreds of smelly old people, was fucking lame. There was no air condition, the bus smelled like B.O, and Inuyasha was stuck sitting in between grandma and a little non-stop talking brat.
"I'm going to kill him, when I see him again," Inuyasha said. He should have been making his way out the airport, but instead he was at a big bus station and had no idea where the fuck he was in Tokyo. Inuyasha pulled his bag from the bus and headed out the exit as fast as he could.
The first thing he had to do, was find Kagome. The streets were very busy, with people laughing and shouting. Inuyasha pushed his way pass them and waved his hand in the air for a taxi. Apparently no one stopped and he wasn't even sure if there were any cabs around.
"Stupid…" he muttered. His duffle bag was getting heavy. He took out the small little piece of paper that was rolled up into a ball in his pocket and opened it up.
"150 Shikon lane…" he said. This was the address Sesshomaru had tossed to him saying 'Here's her address.' All Inuyasha had to do was get directions from someone. He looked up at all the tall buildings around him.
"So how the fuck am I suppose to find her?" He spent half the day running to gas stations and shops asking for directions. Half the people didn't even know what Shikon lane was and the other half gave him fifty different directions.
It wasn't until a woman gave him precise directions. Of course he believed her, since she seemed so sure. Everyone else hesitated or had to think. Inuyasha kept his head looking at the rumpled piece of paper, and glanced from house to house.
"Nope, nope, nope…" Inuyasha said, yawning and pulling his bag up. His shoulder was beyond sore. He spotted a man getting into a white car.
"Uh…excuse me!" Inuyasha called out. The man looked up, and shoved his briefcase inside the car.
"Do you know where this house is?" he asked, handing the man the piece of paper. The man looked at it and rubbed his eyes again. He laughed out loud.
"150 Shikon lane? Of course! How could you miss it? It's down the road, about a block away. Just keep walking, it won't be hard to spot." Inuyasha stared at the crazy man who kept on laughing.
"Uh..thanks?" Inuyasha snatched the paper and started walking again.
"Good luck getting in!" the man from the white car hollered out. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
"Strange people here…" He followed the man's direction down the world.
"147…148…149…150!" Inuyasha looked up and squinted his eyes.
"What the! Screw Sesshomaru!" he yelled. He was looking at a big black gate with a security guard near the side. He looked into the gate and saw a huge mansion, almost as big as his. It was a white California style looking mansion. There was a huge fountain that sprayed water on the large yawn in front of it. The grass was also the cleanly cut. There was no way Kagome could live here.
Either Sesshomaru had given him the wrong address or he had tricked Inuyasha. Either way he had wasted his whole day. Inuyasha walked up to the security guard. He seemed to look like he was ignoring him.
"Excuse me, does a Kagome Higurashi live here?" Inuyasha asked. The security guard looked at him with a gruff face.
"I'm sorry, but Miss. Higurashi does not speak to reporters," he said. Inuyasha's eyes widened. So Kagome did live here? There was no way. Maybe it was a different Kagome Higurashi.
"I'm not a reporter, I'm a friend…" the security guard stood up.
"That's what the last person said, and he ended up being an interviewer from Tokyo-Times (sorry, I had to think of some kind of name)." Inuyasha walked up to him.
"I….am…..not…..a….god…..damn…..reporter!!!!" Inuyasha shouted. "I'm a friend of Kagome's, now let me see her!" he yelled. The security guard shook his head.
"No can do, sir. You'll have to make some kind of appointment. No one speaks to Higurashi Hideaki's daughter without an appointment." Inuyasha's jaw dropped. Higurashi Hideaki…was Kagome's father. Inuyasha looked up at the mansion. But Kagome never mentioned anything about this.
"I have to see her! Just get her down here, just to see one look and then you'll get your proof!" Inuyasha shouted. The security guard moved towards him.
"Sir, I advise you to leave before there's any more trouble," he shouted.
"Bull shit," Inuyasha muttered, and punched the man across the face. The man fell backwards and landed on his butt. He reached for the walkie talkie on his belt.
"I need backup. We have a man he..." Inuyasha walked over and grabbed his collar.
"Just let me see her, that's all!"
"Not after this. You're dangerous!" the security guard yelled. Inuyasha growled as he felt two arms wrap around and pull hi to the ground.
"Stay still!" A new security guard was there now. "Call the cops!"
"Awww shit!" Inuyasha groaned. The security guard ran to the phone and began to dial. "C'mon! You can't do this! I need to see Kag!" In a way he pissed at the guards, but mostly at himself. He and his stupid temper!! Why did he have to crazy all of sudden and punch the guy.
The next thing Inuyasha knew, he was in the police car swearing under his breath, and looking at the cuffs on his hand. He looked out the window and through the gates to see the large mansion. The sky was darkening and the lights were going on, making the place even bigger.
"I'm so fucking confused…" Inuyasha said, as the car pulled away from the gate.
The security guards watched as the car turned the street, and wiped their sweats off their forehead. The phone rang, and they walked over to pick it up.
"Oh, good evening Miss. Higurashi………
oh, it's nothing big Miss. It was just a reporter wanting to get some
news out of you, we got rid of him….. okay! Good night Miss.Higurashi."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha groaned as he awoke from the small cell he was thrown into. The place was going lunatic with everyone shouting and yelling. There were phones ringing and lots of people in with hand cuffs.
"You are given one phone call…" A police man came, opening the door, letting Inuyasha out. Inuyasha pushed passed him and then followed him to the pay phone. Even though he didn't want to, he had to.
Sesshomaru was irritated over the phone. The first day Inuyasha goes to Tokyo and he gets thrown in jail, how great!
"I need to get out…" Inuyasha muttered.
"I can't believe it…"
"It's not my fucking fault! They wouldn't let me in!"
"You didn't have to punch anyone…."
"They were pissing me off!"
"Inuyasha, you piss me off the time and you don't see me punching you…"
"This sucks ass! C'mon Sesshomaru get me out of here…." There was a long pause on the other line of the phone.
"Maybe I should leave you there…."
"Fuck no! I'll kill you if I have to!!!" Inuyasha heard laughing and then a sigh.
"Your language is absurd, Inuyasha. Fine…I'll get you out." The next thing Inuyasha knew, the dial tone was on and the phone was dead.
"He better get me outta here!" Inuyasha hissed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After what felt like forever, a police man came in as fast as he could to open the door. He pulled Inuyasha out and bowed his head.
"We're so sorry about this. We didn't know you were Takashi Sesshomaru's brother…" he said. A police woman came and gave him the biggest smile he had ever seen.
"Are you really related to that wonderful man? We are so very sorry about this. All you had to say was that you were a Takashi." Inuyasha stared at them bored and in a way shocked. This was one thing he hated about saying he was Sesshomaru's brother. He got everything he wanted once people knew, and he hated it. They were only nice to him because of his older brother, and it was like Inuyasha only depended on Sesshomaru.
"Yeah, whatever…" he said. " Can I get my stuff back now?" The two police man/woman nodded and hurried to get his bag and cell phone. He reached into his wallet to pull out cash, but only found at least two hundred dollars.
"What the…." He had barely even used money, and he only had two hundred dollars? There was no way he could survive a day in Tokyo with two hundred. Inuyasha checked all his pockets and then groaned. He was so focused about going to Tokyo, he forgot to about money and expenses.
Inuyasha had planned for Kagome to invite him in and let him stay with her and her dad, but apparently it didn't turn out that way. Once Inuyasha was out of the station, he leaned against the wall and began to dial once more. Sesshomaru answered with the same bored voice.
"What do you want Inuyasha?"
"You don't sound excited to see me…."
"What is it now?"
"I'm out of money."
"Already?"
"Yeah."
"So what is it you want from me?"
"What the hell do you think?" Sesshomaru laughed and then lowered his voice.
"You don't remember our deal do you?"
"What?"
"The deal was that if you pass school with good grades, I would send you to Tokyo."
"Your point?"
"I never said anything about giving you money to stay in Tokyo…"
"Bull shit! Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha pounded his fist in the wall. "This is stupid, so you expect me to be a stupid hobo on the streets?"
"Sure….or you can get a job."
"A job?! Okay, I came here to have fun not to work!"
"Well things change. Either you get a job, or you starve." Inuyasha shut his eyes and slid down.
"What kind of job am I suppose to fucking find?"
"I dunno, do what you do best at. Maybe you should work at a dog house or something." Sesshomaru laughed again, which made Inuyasha even madder.
"Shut up. How am I suppose to find a job in one day?"
"Work hard, moron." There was a click and the phone was dead. His stupid half brother had hung up on him. Inuyasha growled and stood up. He threw his duffle bag over his shoulder and began looking for a so called job.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The whole morning was pathetic. Finding a job was harder than shit itself. Inuyasha had asked for jobs at a restaurants, movie theaters, stores….and even a pet shop! No luck though, everyone took one look at him, and thought of him as a dumb jock, which he probably was. The only thing now that he could probably do was be a model for like cologne or something, and Inuyasha hated that.
Hearing his stomach growl, Inuyasha headed towards a Mc Donald's like kind of restaurant and went to order a hamburger and drink. He didn't have much money, so he ordered the smallest amount he could get. Maybe he could get a job here as a busboy or something.
Inuyasha made his way back to the counter.
"Excuse me…. are you hiring or looking for new employees?" The person working the cash register looked at him and shook his head.
"No sir, we don't have any jobs open here," she said. Inuyasha growled and walked back to his meal. He took one bite of his hamburger and looked out the window. There was no way he was going to survive even a day now. With only little cash, he was probably going to look for food in the trash now.
"This sucks…" he muttered. Now he had lost his appetite. There was no use wasting food. Inuyasha threw his food into the bag and headed outside sipping his coke. He walked down an alley to find a place to rest that night. Now he really felt like a homeless freak.
Suddenly, he heard yelling and then a groan. Inuyasha dropped his stuff and ran towards the corner of the alley. He hid behind the wall and peeked over. What he found was pretty funny. It looked like four people was beating a guy.
"That's what you get for touching my woman!" A big guy shouted.
"…and mine!" they all jumped at the little guy once more. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and headed back towards his food. He started heading out the alley, when suddenly he felt guilty. Inuyasha turned around. For some dumb ass reason he felt bad for the fellow.
Again, Inuyasha dropped his bag and took one last drink of his coke, then tossed it aside. He started running towards the fight. Just as they were about to punch the man, Inuyasha ran full force and slammed his body against the big one. The two fell over instantly. Inuyasha jumped up just as the three other guys came after him. He dodged a punched and kicked a guy in the stomach.
Now the guy who was getting beat up jumped up to help. He pulled a tall guy off Inuyasha and punched him in the gut as hard as he could. Inuyasha pushed the last guy over and sat on him, punching the guy at least fifty times across the face.
"Who the fuck are you!" they shouted.
"You have no fight in this. It's between us and that pervert over there!" they shouted at the man who was getting beat up earlier.
"I don't give a fuck whose fight it is…" Inuyasha shouted and spat on the ground. The four men attacked Inuyasha at once. He felt a fist meeting with his jaw. Inuyasha wince as he felt blood fly from his lip.
"Damn you…" Inuyasha shouted, and returned the attack with an even harder punch. The man who was being called a pervert jumped into action and began punching the lights out of the big guy with his right hand alone. Inuyasha was quite surprise that this guy could fight.
After ten minutes of fighting, the four bullies were on the ground unconscious with bloody noses and a black eye. Inuyasha escaped with a bloody lip and a cut above his eyebrow. He was tired as hell, breathing back and forth. Inuyasha and the man leaned against the brick wall and slid down.
Inuyasha examined the guy. He had a innocent face with his hair tied in a short ponytail. He was wearing a black t-shirt with jeans.
"Awww…shit. Thanks man…" the guy said, trying to catch his breath. He didn't seem like a pervert. "I didn't think they would go this crazy. All I did was pinch the girl's butts…" Inuyasha sweat dropped and looked up at him. So he was a pervert!
"The name's Miroku Ly," Miroku said, coughing. Inuyasha looked around and then nodded.
"Inuyasha Takashi…" Miroku cleared his throat and yawned.
"So how did you see them beating me up?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha stood up and wiped his hands on his pants.
"I was finding a place to stay for the night…." Inuyasha said. Miroku raised an eyebrow.
"What? You don't look like a homeless person. Did your girlfriend kick you out?" he asked. Inuyasha looked at him and then shook his head.
"No! I'm outta cash, and I can't find a job!" Miroku nodded his head and laughed.
"So you're not from Tokyo then?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha shook his head. This guy seemed pretty friendly. It was kind of weird but why the hell was Inuyasha telling this stuff to him?
"Well I know exactly what to do with this kind of situation!" Miroku shouted. "It'll be like paying back for helping me just now." Inuyasha lifted his head and looked at him.
"What?"
"I can find a job for you. I know a job that you can surely do."
"Really!"
"Yeah! And they'll take you in even without an application. As long as you know how to do it!" Miroku stood up smiling. Inuyasha's face fell.
"Do your work there?"
"Yup!" All nasty thoughts entered Inuyasha's mind.
"You aren't a gigolo are you?"
"Huh?" Miroku asked. His face looked shocked but then funny at the same time.
"No way! I don't stoop that low! I may love women, but that's about it." Inuyasha sighed in relief than looked back up at him.
"Then what do you work for?" Miroku started walking out of the alley.
"Hurry up and follow me. I'll show you!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha's eyes widened when he saw a huge mansion in front of him. It was still smaller than his, but again it was surprising the Miroku worked here. Miroku dragged him in the gate and then towards a smaller house right next to it.
"This is the servants quarters, where we stay." Miroku said, pointing at the house. "There's about twenty of us… but there are enough rooms in there to share. You can stay here!" Inuyasha looked around.
"So you're a servant?" he asked.
"No, a chauffeur actually. I'm the only one, and we need another driver…" Miroku said. "So how about it?" Inuyasha looked around the place. Here he was, the richest bachelor in Japan along with Seshomaru, and now he was going to become some driver for someone else?
"Sure." Inuyasha said. Miroku raised his hands in the air.
"Great! Finally we have another man in the house!" he yelled. "All the servants are women…"
"Don't you like that though?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku sweat dropped and scratched the back of his head.
"I can always share….but most of them are old hags." Inuyasha laughed.
'So when do I start?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku tossed him a bag with a chauffeur uniform inside, including a hat.
"Now. The master needs to get to his company building." Inuyasha stared at Miroku with wide eyes.
"What?! I've only been in Tokyo for two days! How the hell am I suppose to know where things are?" Miroku scratched his chin.
"You're right! Hurry up and change. I'll start teaching you places as soon as possible. So you come with me while I drop off Kouga-sama." Miroku hurried up towards the black limo parked in front of the mansion.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The man Inuyasha worked for was very young, maybe a few years older than Inuyasha only. He had long black hair that was tied in a ponytail, and wore a business suit. He had ice blue eyes, and it looked like all the servants swooned over him (except Miroku and Inuyasha). Kouga Kanzaki was suppose to also be a good business man.
"He's one of the youngest out there too…" Miroku whispered to Inuyasha's ear, as Kouga made his way towards the limo.
"His number one priority is to defeat the person in number one rank in business. But so far, he's had no luck." Miroku said. Inuyasha looked behind him from the passenger seat.
"Who are you?" Kouga asked.
"Kouga-sama he's…"
"Was I talking to you?" Miroku swallowed and held onto the wheel tightly.
"My name's Inuyasha…"
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm a new driver here." Inuyasha didn't like the guy's attitude. He was stuck up and seemed to think he was better than everyone. He reminded Inuyasha of himself. Kouga didn't speak to him after that but directed Miroku to drive.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After three days, Inuyasha was settled in and actually remembered routes in Tokyo. He was getting used to memorizing things since he always had to at school. So far he was doing pretty good driving Kouga around and listening to Kouga criticize everything.
Now that he was actually getting a paycheck, and had a place to live, Inuyasha had to find a way to get to Kagome.
But it was impossible. There was no way those security guards would ever let him through after beating up them. He had to find a way to see her. She was Kagome, it wasn't like she was gonna stay cooped up in that mansion forever. But now, Inuyasha was busy driving Kouga there and there. He kind of felt bad for Miroku for being the only driver.
The two switched off once in a while, following Kouga's command. Inuyasha sat down in the driver's seat as Kouga and a man discussed business. They also discussed a huge party for the rich business men that worked in Japan. Unfortunately, Kouga made it clear that Inuyasha had to drive him there that night, even though Inuyasha planned to relax.
"Couldn't you just switch with me?" Inuyasha asked.
"Kouga seems to favor you driving. I would get in trouble if I do switch with you…." Inuyasha groaned and slammed his fist onto the hood of the car. So he had to drive Kouga to some stupid party, when he could be finding a way to see Kagome. That sucked big time.
