Chapter 2: Whose Story
3 Months later-
The thump of someone's fists against his door woke him up. He blinked steadily trying to clear the heavy fog from her eyes. Rolling from the soft cushions of the couch he landed on the floor, a grunt sounded from him as he collected himself. His black hair was matted against his head, a mess of dark tangles. He rubbed his eyes as tripped over the table that was stationed beside the couch as he made his way to the door in his tattered red robe. His tone was noticeably gruff from sleep as he responded to next round of impatient thumps that continued on the wooden door.
"Hold on, Hold on."
He gripped the knob and opened the door slowly only to let his eyes meet with an agitated man with pale blond hair that fell past his waist in silk waves, almost to the point that it was silver. The man stared at him with emotionless honeyed hazel eyes. His face was schooled perfectly into his indifferent look, his body lean; he stood at about five inches taller than the sleepy male in front of him. He wore loose black jeans and a gray sweater; on his feet were black boots. At his side was a dog, she stared intently at Inuyasha with her electric blue eyes. Her body was sleek, suiting the shiny fur that was spread over her body; she reached about the man's hip. She looked to be husky but somehow different. A cool voice brought him from his musings.
"I see you like Kagome. She is beautiful isn't she?"
One slender hand reached down to scratch behind her ears, medium sized black triangles that sat atop her head. Inuyasha nodded his head and watched as they interacted; the dog tilted her head to the side allowing her master better reach to the spot he was scratching. He saw out the corner of his eye, a brown patch of fur walk past him. The pit walked close to the black haired female who sat beside her master obediently. A deep growl of warning sounded from her as she continued to stay beside the blonde; the dark haired man watched as she bared her white fangs at the dog that still approached her, fear for his pet caused him to hurriedly mutter to the animal.
"Myoga get inside the house."
The dog sat, his large head tilted to the side as he stared at his master.
"Inside NOW!"
Myoga got up hesitantly before doing as he was told; Inuyasha didn't notice the sigh of relief that left his body. A deep chuckle issued forth from the stoic form on his porch.
"Kagome loves me too much to want pups, she refuses to be mated. Enough with the casual chatter though. I came here to talk to you about something important."
He held out a rolled stack of papers in his hand.
"You stole my story Mr. Taisho."
Inuyasha gaped for a moment at the gall of the man, then his face twisted into a sneer.
"I don't believe I know you Mr….?"
The blond haired man's voice became several degrees colder.
"Maru and that doesn't matter. What matters is how did you get to Florida, into my home to get it?"
Inuyasha barely kept back a snappy retort, taking in a calm breath he looked at the man, his eyes narrowed to purple slits.
"Mr. Maru I believe you are wrong. If you have any gripes take it up with my literary agent. You need to leave, bye."
He moved back to slam the door but a strong push of the man's hand kept it where it was; he pressed the neatly rolled papers against Inuyasha's chest.
"No, there will be no outsiders. This is between me and you Mr. Taisho. I will go for now but we will be speaking again."
With that said he turned gracefully and walked off the porch, Kagome at his side, her large tail swaying back and forth lazily. Inuyasha closed the door, his hand grasping the papers in his hand. He walked to the window as Sesshou and Kagome loaded into the silver Lincoln Navigator and left.
