A/N: This idea just kind of popped into my head when I was thinking of how lonely I always am on Valentines Day. All alone. On the day that should be every girl's favorite holiday. If you like Murder, Mystery, Horror, and Romance all rolled into one, then I wrote this for you. Lots of gore. YAY!
Inuyasha is a merciless assassin who can never satisfy his lust for blood. His life is full of lies, cheating, drugs, sex, and killing. And then he is hired to kill a girl who is different from all the others, and his bitterness is put to the test. Can she change him from the monster he is?
Bloody ValentineBusiness Proposition
Inuyasha stood hidden in the shadows of the cold, abandoned house. Dressed in all black, his hand was on the handle of the dilapidated door, and his other hand held a bouquet of roses. The red roses in Inuyasha's arms were a deep blood-red, sprinkled softly with the silvery dew of morning. One rose stuck apart from the rest, however; one dark, black rose hidden in the center of the other dozen. Inuyasha smiled softly, the sweet spring scent of the roses wafting up to his sensitive nose.
Slowly, he turned the handle of the door and stepped out into the crisp, cold, bitter February air. The trees were strands of brunette hair brushing the dark, gray sky. White frost sprinkled the grass and it crunched under his feet as Inuyasha walked briskly towards his car. Walking hurriedly to his black Ferrari, he threw the roses on the passenger seat, turned the keys, and backed out of the short driveway, away from the abandoned house on the deserted, dead end street. There wasn't a sound in the air as he drove to his destination.
One left, a right, two lefts and a right later, Inuyasha pulled the car to a halt in front of a small, comfortable, inviting looking house. Grabbing the roses from the seat beside him, he pushed open the car door, the cold air instantly nipping at the tips of his nose and ears. Then, he began to walk up the walk to the front door.
Before he could knock, the door cracked open and a beautiful girl dressed in a white blouse and a long red skirt stepped out. Her face was pale and flawless, her cheeks rosy and her lips a deep red, much like the roses. She smiled and threw her arms around Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha!" she exclaimed excitedly.
"Happy Valentines Day, Kikyo," Inuyasha said, handing her the roses.
"They're beautiful..." Kikyo said softly, her eyes sparkling as they met Inuyasha's.
"Just like you, Kikyo." Slowly, he leaned down and gently met her lips with his. Just a second, but a sweet second. Then he stepped back.
"Ready to go?" He asked her, smiling sincerely.
"Yes, let's go," Kikyo said, nodding and reaching inside for her coat. Then, Inuyasha took her hand and led her back down the walk to the car. He quickly jogged ahead and opened the passenger side door for her, bowing elegantly as she giggled and sat down. Then, he jogged around to his side of the car and hopped in.
"It's a surprise, so you aren't allowed to see where we're going," he said, pulling out a black cloth from his pocket.
"Okay," Kikyo answered uncertainly.
"Don't worry," Inuyasha said, tying the cloth to cover her eyes. "You trust me, don't you?" he asked, looking hurt.
"Yes, Inuyasha. I trust you," she said, smiling.
"Then let's go," Inuyasha laughed, turning the key to start the car and driving off.
Within ten minutes, he brought the car to a stop. He walked around to Kikyo's side and opened the door for her, helping her out of the car.
"Can you remove the blindfold now?" she asked hopefully and eagerly.
"Not yet, just a little bit longer," Inuyasha answered, leaded her somewhere where she could not see.
The characteristics of the ocean filled her senses; water lapping at the banks, a buoy chiming in the distance, the wooden planks on the water causing sloshing sounds, and the salty smell in the air. She heard her feet walking on the wooden planks, and she felt her hand in Inuyasha's as he led her closer and closer to what she could hear was the waters edge.
Finally, he stopped walking and drew her close to him. Kissing her lightly on the lips, he put his arms around her, untied the blindfold, threw it into the water, and stepped back from her. She looked around at the moonlit canal, smiling softly. She noticed her roses in Inuyasha's hands. He smiled, but there was something in his smile that she could not name.
"Kikyo..." Inuyasha said her name softly, gently.
"Inuyasha," she responded lovingly.
Then, Inuyasha reached for a red rose in the bouquet that he held in his arms. He gently moved Kikyo's hair and placed the flower behind her ear. He kissed her gently on the cheek.
"I love you, Inuyasha," she whispered. He remained silent as she threw her arms around him. He returned the embrace, wrapping his arms around her, but as she closed her eyes, savoring the feeling of being in his arms, he carefully and quietly pulled the black rose from the center of the bouquet. Thorns lined the stem, looking dark and evil and eager for blood.
His lips curled up in a devilish smile as with a sudden movement, he pulled away from Kikyo, shoving her backwards. As she struggled to remain on her two feet, he stepped forward, a dark look in his eyes. He shoved her the rose, waving it in front of her eyes, and then pressed it lightly against her neck.
"Good-bye, Kikyo."
And then, he pressed the thorns into her neck, the force throwing her backwards even more. Then with an even swifter movement, he slid the stem across her neck, tearing up chunks of her pale, smooth flesh. Her blood poured over her shirt, down to the wooden planks where she stood for the last two seconds of her life. Then, as her body fell forward, Inuyasha caught her in his arms and brought her to the edge of the dock and slipped her body into the cold, icy water.
"Good-bye," he said again. And then, before turning his back and returning to his car to drive away, he threw the bouquet of the final eleven roses into the water after her.
