Ok.... I've been writing out many different plots for a story, and I think I may finally have found out what I want to write about. But what matters is if you wonderful readers out there decide that you like this too. I don't want to end up writing a fic that no one is reading. This is my first Inuyasha fic, and it's an AU, so bare with me y'all. Well anyways, let's get this started, shall we?
Summary- Inuyasha is one of the worst scum living out on the streets of New York. Living day and night with a cautious eye. For the ten years Inuyasha has manage to live on the streets by robbing people blind. With each person he robs, he gets chased, with each escape he grows more confident. Then one day, Inuyasha robs the wrong person, a New York police officer named Sango. Now Inuyasha is on the run from the police officer, but its all just another game to him and decides to have fun with the police officer. Sango will give at nothing to capture the thief, but she soon finds herself thrown into a mystery as Inuyasha's past comes creeping up on him.
Night Scuffle
The rain beats mercilessly down on the streets of New York. Citizens not wanting to get caught in the rain, remain locked up in their homes, or spending some time in a diner or bar. For few people however, the rain is the best time to come out and do what they do best, robbing people blind. Down in one of the narrow alleys in the 'City That Never Sleeps' stands one man starring out into the streets, waiting for another unexpected victim to cross his path.
Long black hair sticks to the man's face as his violet eyes glare through the alley. Water runs down his waterlogged form like tiny streams. His black pants and the white muscle shirt under his red jacket seem to stick to his body from the rain, making the man feel more miserable about himself then before. The twenty two year old goes by the name of Inuyasha, he does have a last name but it's been so long that he's practically forgotten what it is. His last name has no value to him so he never really tries to remember it. All he knows is that he's Inuyasha, one of the many street scum living on the streets that prey off of the unfortunate saps that cross his path.
Of course Inuyasha didn't always live like this. One time in his life, many years ago, he had a mother, one that gave him what every child would want, a mother's love. Then she died and Inuyasha was forced to live out on the streets. He didn't have anywhere else to go. He knows somewhere out there he has a father and a half-brother that couldn't care less about him. After his mother's death, Inuyasha refused to be brought down and pitied by others, he would not let himself be brought to an orphanage where he'd be passed through several different foster families.
So without any other option, Inuyasha fled to the streets and began finding a new way to live, namely thievery. Of course Inuyasha isn't one of those big time crooks who go to a store and whip out a gun and demand money from the clerk. Inuyasha knew better than that, everyone who tries living like that end up in jail or get shot. What Inuyasha does is walk around the city sidewalks and pickpocket the people who pass by him. Sometimes, when he's desperate for food which he needs money to get, he'll pull someone in the alley and mug them, much like what he's doing now. Unfortunately, the rain is really ruining his plans for some money. Not many people actually walk in the streets at night, much less walk during the night while it's raining.
Inuyasha brushes his wet hair back out of his face, his stomach suddenly rumbles, demanding the food it so desires. How long has it been since the last time he's eaten? Two? Three days? Time seems to pass by without warning for him. Crossing his arms over his chest, Inuyasha leans his back against the side of the building behind him. Unlike most street rats that steal from others to continue living, Inuyasha is willing to steal from anyone, rich or poor. Most street rats tend to only pickpocket rich looking people, believing it's injustice to steal from the poor since they know how hard it can be to live without anything. In Inuyasha's mind, the poor has more money then he does, therefore they can spare loosing some to him. Of course, he'd rather steal from someone rich, only because you'll most likely get more money out of a wallet if the person is rich.
The sudden clattering of garbage cans makes the young man jump a bit startled. Turning his gaze down to the other end of the alley he spots a black cat leap out of a tipped garbage can, carrying something in its mouth, most likely some sort of leftover food that the cat can feast on. A black cat, an unlucky omen? Perhaps... But Inuyasha isn't one to believe in such things as omens. Besides, life can't get any worse for him than it already is.
The sound of Inuyasha sneezing, echoes down the alley. Inuyasha sniffs, finding his nose beginning to get clogged, a clear sign of himself beginning to catch a cold. 'Just what I need.' He thinks miserably. Inuyasha's upper body trembles as he begins to shiver. The red jacket he stole from a homeless guy a few days ago isn't doing much against the cold rain. Inuyasha could only regret that the homeless guy didn't have a raincoat he could of stolen, it would be much more useful in the rain then the jacket. All the jacket is doing now is adding weight to his shoulders.
Inuyasha just glares at the wall of the building standing in front of him, trying to burn a hole through it with the anger he's feeling. Out of the corner of his eye he sees someone walk pass the alley, grabbing his full attention immediately. Slowly a smirk plays across Inuyasha's face as he pushes himself off the wall and walks out of the alley. He follows the man in front of him, analyzing his next victim. From what Inuyasha can tell, it's a boy about the same age as himself, he has short black hair, blue jeans, and a black leather jacket on. Inuyasha decides to take the jacket along with the money when he mugs him.
Inuyasha picks up his pace just the slightest, slowly closing in on his victim. Inuyasha reaches out and grabs the man from behind, dragging his into the alley they just walked by. The man struggles in Inuyasha's grasp, trying to break out of Inuyasha's hold. Inuyasha growls in frustration before he shoves the man into the side of the wall. The man falls to the ground, dazed from the impact of the wall. Inuyasha takes this chance to reach into the man's pocket and pull out his wallet. Inuyasha smirks as he flips the wallet open to read the I.D. of the man, "Koga Wolf huh? Well Wolfie, why don't you hand over that jacket." Inuyasha says pocketing the wallet and pulling out an old pocket knife he found years ago.
The man known as Koga, glances up from all fours, recovered from his dazed condition. He sees the knife in Inuyasha's hand and begins laughing as he pushes himself onto his feet. Inuyasha's violet eyes narrow in anger, "And what the hell do you find so funny?" Inuyasha demands.
Koga's blue eyes seem to glow in amusement as his laughter dies down, "Word of advice street rat." Koga reaches to his back underneath his leather jacket, "Get a better weapon when you try to mug someone, because you never know what they have up their sleeve."
Inuyasha's eyes widen at the sight of the six inch blade Koga pulls out. In an instant, Koga is charging Inuyasha, nearly catching the street rat off guard. Inuyasha is shoved up against the wall as he holds Koga's blade away from his throat by Koga's wrist, Koga doing the same with Inuyasha's pocket knife. The two try to over power the other with their brute strength, each gritting their teeth as they fight to get the upper hand. Each of their eyes lock in a battle glare. Inuyasha suddenly crashes his right knee into Koga's stomach, making the man back away and unpinning Inuyasha from the wall and himself.
Once he recovers from the blow into the gut, Koga charges once more, slashing his blade at Inuyasha mercilessly. Inuyasha jumps back away from each strike. He grabs a lid as he passes a garbage can to use it as some sort of shield against Koga's blade. Koga thrusts his blade straight forward, impaling through the pathetic excuse of a shield, getting the blade caught in the process. Inuyasha twists the lid, forcing the blade out of the other man's grasp. The blade drops to the ground and Inuyasha swings the lid around, striking Koga in the head.
Inuyasha tosses the lid off to the side and puts his small pocket knife away. Koga glance from Inuyasha, to his discarded blade at Inuyasha's feet. Inuyasha sees what he's looking at and kicks the blade off to the side while cracking his knuckles. Koga soon catches on and takes his jacket off. The two go at it again, this time without the use off weapons. Both exchange blow for blow, not bothering to try and block each other's attacks, simply waging the fight on their endurance. Koga throws out a fast right hook but Inuyasha is quick enough, he grabs Koga arm and with all his might, throws the man over his shoulder, sending him crashing into a few garbage cans.
Inuyasha stands in his spot, taking in deep breathes as he fights to catch his breath. He watches as Koga tries to crawl out of the garbage. Inuyasha's face scrunches up in annoyance, 'Damnit... why doesn't he just give up.' Becoming tired and irritated with the fight, Inuyasha rushes at Koga, determined to finish the fight. A glimmer of metal flashes through the air, Inuyasha manages to just dodge to the side making what would of been a death blow from Koga's blade to only become a flesh wound, a rather painful flesh wound in Inuyasha's right shoulder, "Shit!" Inuyasha curses as he clutches his bleeding shoulder.
Koga stands from the heap of garbage, his blade, that he manage to find near the cans, in his right hand. Koga's icy blue eyes stare at the blood running out from between Inuyasha's hand as he tries to stop the bleeding. A triumphant smirk plays across Koga's lips, believing he won the fight, "Time to clean the scum off the streets." Koga says as he holds up his blade in a stabbing grip. He charges at Inuyasha his blade hefted up, ready to deliver the final blow. Inuyasha acts quickly, right before Koga reaches him, he pulls the garbage can standing at his side, down in front of him and kicks it at Koga. Koga doesn't have enough time to stop and ends up tripping over the can.
Inuyasha takes this chance to escape, he quickly dashes down the alley. Halfway down the alley, Inuyasha looks over his shoulder to see Koga racing after him. Inuyasha tries to force his legs to move his body faster. He makes it to the end of the alley and dashes into the road. The moment Inuyasha runs out into the road, he hears a car horn go off. The sound of screeching tires fills the air. On impulse, Inuyasha jumps into the air and ends up tucking and rolling over the vehicle that hit him, only to land hard on the road. Koga steps back into the alley and runs off, deciding that it would be in his best interest to leave the area.
Inuyasha remains in his spot unmoving, the whole world seemingly spinning around him. He hears the sound of a car door opening and closing, followed by the sound of padding feet running towards him on the wet road. "Oh my god, are you alright!?" Inuyasha can hear the woman but can't turn to look at her, finding it too painful to move at the moment. "I'll go call for an ambulance." The woman says.
"N-no." Inuyasha manages to stutter painfully. Inuyasha forces himself into a sitting position, making his head spin even more from the movement. He turns his gaze to the woman taking in her features, long black hair and brown eyes, a black long sleeved shirt and black pants, "No hospital... can't afford..." Inuyasha manages to say before fallen into unconsciousness.
The woman stares down at the unconscious man for a moment, debating whether or not she should call for an ambulance, 'He doesn't look seriously injured, only a little banged up... Doesn't look like he can afford a hospital bill either, then again I'd be the one caught paying it since I ran him over with my car.... MY CAR!' The woman thinks frantically. She turns around and inspects her car, the red and blue lights flash through the area, a small dent is visible on the hood of the squad car, but other than that, the car seems to have suffered no damage.
The woman lets out a breath of relief before turning back to the matter at hand. She walks over to Inuyasha's prone form and grabs his arms. She begins dragging Inuyasha by the arms, towards her car, opening the back door, she puts Inuyasha in the back seat of her squad car before she hurries to the driver's seat and begins driving off.
