Messing Around
Inuyasha stared in awe at the image before him. " Wow, Kagome it's beautiful," he said while looking out at the view of the city.
" Yeah, this is where I come to think. Looking over the city like this gives me perspective. It makes you realize just how insignificant you really are in the whole scheme of things." Inuyasha looked over to her. The lights of the city where reflecting in her eyes. It was then that Inuyasha realized just how deep she really was. He could see sadness imprinted into her chocolate pools.
Inuyasha rested his for arms on the balcony before saying, " Yah, that's true. Now it's what you do with this information that really matters."
Kagome moved over to where he was leaning on the barrier and mimicked his stance. Looking over to him, curiosity shining in her eyes she asked, " What do you mean?"
Inuyasha turned to her smirking, " Well you could take this as sign that you actually are insignificant and waste your life or you could realize that yeah sure, you really are just a small part of the whole picture, but you and every other one of those 'insignificant' people are what makes it such a beautiful picture. Don't waste your life Kagome, it's the most precious thing that you have."
Kagome looked at him for a moment before going, " Okay what movie did you get that out of?"
Inuyasha just shrugged, " That's how I really feel. Now that I've spilled the inner depths of my heart care to share yours?"
Kagome stared at him for a moment before replying, " Ah…nope." Smiling cheekily he ran his hand through his hair,
" Don't worry before the night is through I'll get it out of you."
Kagome gave a snort, " Good luck." After a moment of silence Kagome said, " You smarter than you look, you know that?"
Inuyasha just shrugged and continued to look out at the view. Kagome continued,
" From your laid back attitude and all the sexual innuendo you use I couldn't tell. You really are brilliant though."
A smirk slid onto his face, " Yah, I get girls telling me that all the time."
Kagome crossed her arms and glared at his back, " If you weren't so arrogant and rude you'd be a pretty decent guy."
Inuyasha turned to face her, " You mean if I wasn't myself I'd be a pretty decent guy?" Kagome searched her brain for a witty comeback but none came to mind. Inuyasha took this silence and continued to talk, "Anyway why would I need to be a decent guy with a body like this."
Kagome rolled her eyes, " And here we have the arrogance."
" Feh, your just jealous that you don't have a boyfriend as hot as me."
" Oh and the rudeness. Well done Blade, you've shown the two in record time!" Inuyasha just glared at her coldly. Kagome couldn't help but laugh. She tried to cover it discreetly by placing a hand over her mouth and faking a coughing fit. Inuyasha didn't buy it for a second. Quickly Kagome changed the subject,
" So are you and your brother actually related?"
" Yeah, we both have the same dad. Why?" asked Inuyasha curious to where this was heading.
" Well it's just that he's a demon and you're a human."
" Oh… uh… yah…" Inuyasha stumbled over his words to try and explain it. Sure he could have just told her the truth, but where was the fun it that. Besides when he saw her at school he could start off with a fresh slate. " Well you see, I'm not actually related, related to Sess. It just feels like it because when Dad adopted me I became part of the family and the bond felt strong enough to be blood relation." Inuyasha gave an innocent smile hoping she would buy his bullshit story.
Kagome mulled over it for a while before asking, " So is it hard to live with your brother when he's a full demon and you're just a human?" Inuyasha let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding in. She'd bought the story and he was in the clear.
" Yeah I suppose. Most of the time if I stay out of his way he'll stay out of mine. He hates the human side of me. Thinks it weak and petty."
Kagome looked at him in confusion. " Human side? What other side do you have?"
' Oh shit I stuffed up,' Inuyasha paused before thinking of a reasonable explanation. " Oh there's no other side. What I was saying just came out wrong. I've been living with him so long that I'm beginning to think I'm part demon too," Giving a nervous laugh he turned back to the view.
" Oh I see. Are you two really open with your feelings about one another?"
Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh, " Sess open with his feelings? I don't think so. He's like an ice queen, but a guy." After a moment of thought Inuyasha added, " Well actually I suppose he's sometimes open with his feelings, but those are mainly the times he wants to kill something."
" Oh that sounds… lovely. Is that why you're going to take off when your 18?"
" Partly," shrugged Inuyasha. " I just got to get out of here and experience the real world away from all these Barbie's and preps."
Kagome went and stood by his side, " Yah I see what you mean. If I could I'd leave as well."
Inuyasha turned to her giving her a strange look, " Well, why can't you?"
Kagome gave a spiteful laugh, " This is my world," she opened out her arms at the city that lay before them. " It's all I know and all I'll ever know. I can't leave."
" Sure you can. It's not like we're living in the middle ages. You can just pack your bags and hop on a plane. It's not as hard as you think it is."
" No, it's not as easy as you think it is. I have a life here, something that I can't just abandon. Sure I would love to leave, but I can't."
" You'll never leave with an attitude like that. As I said before, you need to loosen up and let life carry you to where ever it's heading."
Kagome sighed, " Look Blade, I know you think it's the right thing but I don't. I like my life organized and knowing where I'm going and how I'm going to get there. Life is to unpredictable to take chances."
" But if you don't take a chance you'll never get the reward. Look I'm not telling you to blow all your money on a poker game or anything, just to loosen up and enjoy life more."
" I am loose, and enjoying life!" Kagome quickly cover her mouth as soon as the words came out. ' Well that came out wrong' she thought as she watched Inuyasha's mouth twist into a smirk. She slapped him on the arm. " That's not what I meant and you know it!" Still the smirk remained on his face. Kagome sighed and went to stand at the edge of the balcony. She let the wind whip the loose bits of her hair around her face.
She loved the feel of the wind on her face. It reassured she that she indeed existed. Closing her eyes she savored the feel of the wind caressing her features.
Inuyasha looked over to her from where he was standing. At that moment she was beautiful to him. Her hair was whirling around her face and the dress she had on has being pulled tightly around her figure by the wind. Kagome must have felt his eyes on her because she turned to face him. He didn't remove his eyes.
" What are you staring at?" she asked with a slight smile.
" You," he replied carelessly. This made Kagome frown.
" Okay… why are you staring at me?"
" It's a free country. I can stare at whatever I want."
Kagome's anger started to rise. " You really are infuriating you know that?"
" It's a gift." He took at step towards her closing the distance between them. Kagome didn't realize how close they had been that whole time. Now that they're lips where mere inches away her heart started to beat rapidly and her hands started to sweat.
" Blade, wh… what are you doing."
" What does it look like?" he asked in a low husky voice.
" Well…" before she could finish the rest Inuyasha started to move his head forward. Kagome could feel his breath on her skin now. Her eyes slid shut waiting for the inevitable to come.
Suddenly she felt him flick her forehead. Her eyes shot open to look at him. He was now standing at least 2 feet away, amusement dancing in his eyes.
" Why you…" Kagome leapt at him aiming for his throat. He easily held her at bay saying,
" I told you to loosen up."
" I'LL KILL YOU!!!"
" Kagome relax and go with the flow. You're way to tense."
" Yeah well I though you were going to… going to…"
" Going to what?" mischief sparkled in his eyes.
She blushed deeply then pried him off her, " Arrgh, never mind!"
" Fine, be that way." Suddenly Inuyasha felt his pocket start to vibrate. He whipped out his phone and answered it.
" Hello?"
" Where are you?"
" Ah Sess glad to see you care. I'm with Kagome right now."
" What are you doing to her?" Inuyasha could hear the restraint in his brother's voice.
" Nothing just having a little fun." Since Kagome could only hear one end of the conversation she was eyeing Inuyasha very carefully.
" If you've done anything to her I will kill you in cold blood. Her mother is our pay check."
" Relax Fluffy. Everything in fine. Is this why you called? To check up on me?"
" I'm leaving in ten minutes. Be down stairs by then or I'll leave without you."
" Oka…" Inuyasha didn't get to finish his sentence as he heard the dial tone at the other end. " Rude inconsiderate bastard," Inuyasha muttered.
" I see you and your brother have a lot of things in common." Kagome commented after she hearing his muttering.
" Feh, whatever. Well I got to bounce. I'll probably never see you again so have a good life." He started to walk away from the balcony when Kagome stopped him.
" Well can't we still catch up? Do you have an e-mail or something I can contact you at?"
" Err, I don't think that's such a good idea." Kagome's expression fell but she quickly covered it with a fake smile.
" Oh well bad luck, I guess you'll never hear me spill my inner thoughts."
Inuyasha turned to face her, " Oh but I have." Kagome frowned. " You've told me your hopes and dreams, your fears, everything." Kagome's frown deepened.
" I never told you those things."
" Well not directly but in a way you did. Sorry to burst your bubble, but better luck next time." Inuyasha turned to go. Kagome watched as he walked away hands in his pockets. Just when he had reached the door he turned and walked back.
" Before I forget, look over there," he pointed out to the city. Kagome turned her head to see what he was pointing at and Inuyasha took his chance. He placed a quick kiss on her cheek. She turned back to him shocked. He turned and started to walk towards the door again. Placing a hand on where he had kissed her she smiled. She could still feel his lips pressed against her skin.
" Hey!" he yelled.
She turned to look at him standing in the doorway. He gave her a cheeky grin then waved, " Loosen up a bit. Live life like it's meant to be lived. Remember that." He turned and left out of her sight.
" Bye Blade," she whispered to no one in particular.
###
Once Inuyasha made his way out of the house he turned to give it one more look. ' I hope she remembers what I said'
" Inuyasha… or should I say Blade, get into the car. We have to leave now," Sess opened the door and stepped into the car.
" Feh, keep your pants on. I'm coming," said Inuyasha in an irritated voice. Inuyasha got into the car just after his brother but was surprised when Sess took off straight after Inu closed the door.
" Wow shit Sess, what's the rush?" asked Inuyasha struggling to get his seat belt on.
" What were you doing with that girl?" his voice cold and impassive.
" Nothing we just talked," defended Inuyasha finally getting his seatbelt on. Now at least when they crashed he wouldn't go flying out from the window.
" I know you Inuyasha. You never just talk to a girl."
Inuyasha mocked shock, " What don't you trust me dear brother?" After Sess didn't answer Inuyasha sighed and slumped back into his seat. " Look I swear on my grave that we just talked. She's a nice girl but not my type."
" Since when do you have a type?"
" Hey I have standards! Sure they're not that high but they're a hell of a lot higher than Miroku's. I wouldn't just take advantage of some poor little rich girl." Sess didn't answer. Inuyasha just gave up trying to convince his brother. Turning his attention out the window he concentrated on the lights flashing past his vision.
One after the other, light after light, god this was boring. Inuyasha could feel his eyes getting heavy. Rubbing his hand over his eyes he tried to keep himself awake. Stuffing his hand into his pocket he pulled out his phone to check the time. It was only 11:00 so by Inuyasha's calculations he shouldn't be tired for another 2 and half hours. Grumbling he tried to entertain himself by picking at his nails. It was the perfect time to clean them considering they were normal nails now it was much easier to remove the dirt that got caught under them.
After making sure there was no dirt under them he looked for other ways to entertain himself. He looked over to see his brother staring intently at the road and decided to bother him would be the same as signing his own death warrant. He was to young to die so decided to look elsewhere. Although this car may have cost a bundle it didn't have much to offer besides speed and good looks.
Finally deciding to just listen to his MP3 player he dug in his pockets for it. Successfully finding it after a few minutes he buried the earphones into his ears and turned the volume up loud. This was one of the things he loved about being human. He could fit the earphones in his ears properly and have the MP3 player at a decent volume. When in his normal form he would have to have it at the minimum volume or risk having his ears damaged.
He listened contently to Blink 182's album Enema of the State before finally coming to a stop before his house. Jumping out quickly he headed for the door while Sess lagged behind making sure the car was properly guarded.
Inuyasha dug in his pockets for his keys, pulling out his phone, Mp3 player, a pack of gum, sunglasses and his wallet he finally came to the bottom of his pocket where his keys lay. Swiftly pulling them out he slid them into the door and turned. As soon as he heard the click of the lock he turned the handle and rushed to the couch.
" Finally," he breathed patting the couch. " Did you miss me?"
Sess walked straight past him and into his room. " Geez he's grouchy," muttered Inuyasha.
" Don't forget I'm full demon younger brother," said Sess' voice from his room. Inuyasha frowned slightly but quickly changed his attention back to his mission. Chucking cushions off the couch and ducking under it he searched for the remote. After about five minutes of searching he looked at the table next to the couch. His eyes widened with delight as he spotted his treasure.
" Goodbye real world, and hello 46 channels of cable TV." He got back onto the couch, lying down and making himself comfortable, he switched from channel to channel. He continued this for about 2 hours before finally falling asleep on the couch.
###
Inuyasha awoke after someone gave him a harsh shove. He was so shocked he almost fell off the couch. When he regained his composure and finished the slurs of swear words coming out of his mouth he turned to the perpetrator of the act. He saw Miroku sitting on the end of the couch with a wide grin.
" Good morning sunshine!" he greeted cheerfully. Inuyasha growled and tried to get back to sleep. " Oh no you don't," Miroku grabbed Inuyasha by the legs and hauled him off the couch. Inuyasha quick to react placed his hands on the ground to prevent his face coming into contact with it.
" What the hell do you think you're doing!" yelled Inuyasha.
" Just trying to get you up is all. Well now that you are I can see that my work is done," Miroku dropped Inuyasha's feet and dusted off his hands. " Geez how long since you've washed those. They stink!" Inuyasha just glared at his friend from the floor.
" Why are you here Miroku?"
" What I can't just come and visit my best friend from time to time?" Inuyasha gave him a plain look. "Okay, okay you forced it out of me. I'm going to be going to school with you! I got a soccer scholarship, which pays for all my fees! How cool is this! It'll be just like old times."
Inuyasha's irritated demeanor quickly disappeared and was replaced by excitement. " Are you serious dude!? Man this'll be awesome!"
" Yah I know dude. This school better be ready for us!" Miroku ruffled Inuyasha's hair then went and stood on the couch. " We'll rule the school after a week!" he announced. From the floor Inuyasha just shook his head.
" You do know that this school is full of spoilt rich kids, don't you?"
" Yeah, and a lot of hotties. Don't worry so much Inu. By the end of the week they'll all be kissing our feet," bragged Miroku. Inuyasha wasn't so sure of this though. After meeting Kagome he wasn't sure what to expect.
Prep's was his first guess of what sort of people went to the school. But after Kagome he wasn't sure if he was right. Sure she definitely was a prep in her own way but she was also different. Almost normal, she just needed to loosen up a bit.
" I have more news!" Inuyasha turned his attention to his friend who was now lying on the couch channel surfing.
" Oh, and what would that be?" Inuyasha picked himself off the floor. Picking up Miroku's legs he placed then on the floor forcing his friend to take a sitting position. With the space that just opened up Inuyasha sat down.
" Well… a little birdie told me there's going to be a party at some rich kids house this Saturday. Apparently all our new classmates are going to be there. Soo… I was wondering if you where up for it?"
" You mean crash their party?"
" Well sure if you want to put it into simple terms. It would give us a chance to introduce ourselves, and get a bit drunk in the process. So what do you say?" Inuyasha considered it for a moment.
" Think about all the chics we could pick up?" said Miroku smiling hopefully.
" Sure why not. Got nothing better to do."
" YES!!! Thank you so much Inuyasha. I'll never forget this." Miroku jumped off the couch and tried to shimmy. "Man I can almost see the boobies shaken now!" Inuyasha laughed watching his best friend. He couldn't believe the two of them were friends. They were so different, yet so similar at the same time. It was a strange relationship.
Sess came into the room and saw Miroku trying to shimmy and Inuyasha laughing at him. Not saying a word he walked straight out the front door. Inuyasha watched him leave and his laughter increased. Miroku stopped trying to shimmy and smiled broadly.
" Hey come on Inu, lets head down to the skate park."
" Sure." Inuyasha got up off the couch then looked down at what he was wearing. " Uh, hey Miroku I think I better go change first." Miroku turned to Inu and assessed his appearance. He was still in his Armani suit with Gucci shoes with his hair in a low ponytail.
" Hmm, guess your right. Well I'll meet you outside then."
" Cool," said Inuyasha as he ran up the stairs to his room. Once there he stripped himself of his shirt. It was then he noticed that he didn't have his jacket. ' Shit must have left it at that girls house last night.' He tried to gauge Sess' reaction when he found out he had left a $2000 jacket at Sess' client's house. ' It shouldn't be that bad. He could just get it back when he next saw them. Yeah it's no big deal.' Inuyasha tried to get the thought of him being throttled by Sess out of his mind.
Somehow the rather unpleasant image stuck. ' Well I could get it back and Sess wouldn't have to know about it.' Deciding this would be the best option he dismissed the thought and tried to concentrate on finding a shirt. Spotting his favorite red shirt and baggy jeans lying on the end of his bed he grabbed them and slipped them on. Taking his hair out of the ponytail he messed it around a bit. Once deciding he looked okay he left his room. Halfway down the hall he realized he missed the most important thing. Running back to his room grabbed his skate shoes and placed them on. " How could I forget my babies?" he spoke to them.
" Ah Inu are you okay?" Inuyasha looked up to see Miroku at the doorway.
" Thought you said you were going to wait outside."
" I was, but you were taking forever. I came up here to check what you were up to. Now I see, you were talking to your shoes."
" What? They're my babies. I love them more than my brother. Okay that's not saying much but anyway,"
" Okay… Man I knew you were strange but this is just scary. C'mon lets go before you start to scare the children."
Inuyasha looked at his friend strangely, " What children?"
" You know, the children," Miroku looked down at his crotch.
" Aww, I don't want to know. Lets just go."
###
" Kagome, wake up!" Kagome felt someone shake her but refused to reply. She was having the best dream about the mysterious guy she met last night. It was strange but in the dream they where just talking. Not doing anything other than talking but it was the best dream she had had in ages.
" Wake up!" The person persisted. Kagome groaned and rolled over trying to block the noise.
" Kagome mums leaving again." This caught Kagome's attention. She sat bolt upright and looked over to her brother at the side of her bed.
" What?" she questioned.
" Her agent booked her flight early so she has to leave now." Kagome looked at her brother in disbelief.
" No," she whispered.
" Yes, if you want to see her before she leaves you'll have to come down now." Kagome jumped out of bed in a flash. Grabbing her dressing gown behind her door she hastily put it over her small frame and ran down the stairs. Souta followed just behind her. Once at the bottom of the stairs she saw her mother looking at her children with sad eyes.
" You just got here you can't go," Kagome sobbed, looking at her mother from where she stood on the stairs.
" I'm sorry Kagome but I have to. I can't reschedule, it's impossible." Kagome's mother walked over to her daughter arms open. Kagome looked at her mother advancing on her but as soon as she reached her Kagome shoved her away.
" Can't reschedule or won't?" she said tears streaming down her eyes.
" Oh honey, if I could I would." She tried to hug her daughter again but Kagome wrenched herself from her mothers grasp.
Kagome stepped back and yelled, " Go! Just go, I don't care anymore. Just don't touch me!" After her outburst Kagome ran back up to her room. Dashing to her bad she buried her face in one of her pillows. "Why?" she asked herself not really expecting an answer. " Why does she leave us? We need a mother, not just money." She looked up from her pillow when she heard car engines. She looked out her window to see a taxi taking her mother away. " Guess I should be used to it by now," she muttered solemnly.
