Bad Habit

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi got to him first.

Summary: Everyone has something about them that they can't seem to stop doing. They just do and sometimes for no reason because they can't help it. It's their flaw, their bad habit: For Inuyasha its relationships. He can't seem to stay in one. His excuse is because he hasn't found the right girl yet. Kagome can't seem to stay in one either, She doesn't trust men very well and it often proves difficult for her love life. She says she has her reasons. Miroku is simply a hentai who won't settle down with one girl. What more is there to say about him? Sango is very temperamental and drives most men away because of that. These are four people with bad habits when it comes to relationships.

Chapter- 1- Introduction

Inuyasha Kyouji Tama: 23 years old. Rich inheritance so he is unemployed, Silver hair down to his backside and amber eyes, Tall, tan and handsome…very handsome. Bleep that he's gorgeous! Cocky, arrogant, rude, stubborn, egotistical, possessive at times, sweet, caring, adoring.

Kagome Serenity Higurashi: 21 years old. Works as a secretary for Tanaka industries. Black hair up to her waist; hourglass figure with long legs and dark brown eyes (to the point where they almost appear black with a hint maroon), naturally pink lips and unblemished skin, although she dresses in skirt suits at work she's a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl and about 5'6". Kind, fiery, and very intelligent. Loud, stubborn, and can hold a grudge for pretty damn long. And note to all: Kagome can throw a pretty good punch.

Miroku Tourei Houshi: 24 years old. Inuyasha's older cousin by one year. Works at the local club as a bartender. Black hair slightly above his shoulders tied back into a little ponytail at the nape of his neck. Ocean-blue eyes, two earrings in one ear and one in the other. Tall, and handsome. Hentai, womanizer, loyal friend, sweet, charming, and seemingly dense at times.

Sango Yumiko Taijiya: 22years old. Works as security at the local club. 5'7", athletic but not brolic, hazel eyes and brown hair. Sango's therapists suggested that she finds a job that will help her release her anger and express herself openly so that people will stop calling the cops on her. She's very pretty and violent. Smart and a little naive at times. Very strong and can switch moods at anytime. (Kagome is that way too)

Souta Rikuo Higurashi: 26 years old (in this fic he is older than Kagome; it provides a cute twist of Kagome being the baby in the family.) Souta is tall and handsome. He and Kagome look very much alike except he has his masculine features. He works as a realtor in the countryside of Japan. He has short ruffled black hair and eyes like Kagome. He's kind but very overprotective of his sister. And despite his age he's still a bit shy around girls.

Kohaku Naruto Taijiya: 26 years old (same reason as Souta) Kohaku is tall and handsome as well. He has black hair that reaches just pass his shoulders that he keeps in a ponytail and grey eyes. He's very polite but will quickly step out of his composure if someone disrespects his sister. He has a temper like sango but has more self control so he doesn't need anger management. He works with Souta at the real estate agency.

Kanuyami Seiya Houshi: 25 years old. Sister of Miroku and cousin of Inuyasha. She has long black hair that reaches her mid-back. Her eyes are identical to Miroku's. She is 5'5" and very pretty. She keeps her brother in check when Inuyasha isn't around. (Despite Miroku's antics toward women, if anyone were to touch his sister he'd drop the nice act almost instantly) Kanuyami owns the club Miroku works at.

Sesshoumaru Taisho Tanaka: 29 years old. He's very polite but stoic as well. You never know what he is thinking. Sesshoumaru is Inuyasha's half brother on his father's side. He has silver hair down to his calves and amber eyes identical to Inuyasha only colder looking. He is the owner and president of Tanaka industries where Kagome works. He's the true meaning of a gentleman and tries to instill that in his younger brother who he knows has dating issues.

Kikyo Ano Kento: 22 year old spoiled little bitch. Inuyasha's most recent ex-girlfriend. She has pale skin, long black hair down to her butt and brown eyes. She looks a lot like Kagome only lacks in the conservative WOMAN area. She is currently unemployed because she thinks Inuyasha will take care of her once she gets him back (yea right…in this fic I don't think so.) she despises any girl Inuyasha might seem interested in.

Kouga Hakkaku Ookami: 24 years old. He is tall handsome and tan. He has long brown hair that he keeps tied up in a high ponytail and grey-blue eyes. He's extremely arrogant, naive, dense, and cocky. He sounds like Inuyasha but has a serious issue with rejection. If Kouga wants you Kouga gets you. He is very wealthy and doesn't need to work.

-------------------------------------------------

Kagome and Sango grew up together. Kagome is the only one who can tolerate Sango's violent behavior and mood swings. Sango is the only one who can deal with Kagome's stubbornness and the two have never let anyone take advantage of the other. Best friends for life is the relationship of Sango and Kagome. And over the years Kagome has taught Sango how to talk first and hit later, whereas Sango taught Kagome how to take charge, not to be too nice and taught her how to kick serious ass. The two are at the gym boxing every weekend. Kagome and Sango are more like sisters despite the fact that Kagome already has a brother as well as Sango. The two are the only girls that they hang out with, in other words Sango and Kagome don't really like other girls. They say that they talk too much.

Inuyasha and Miroku are cousins. They are related by Inuyasha's mother. Inuyasha always gets Miroku out of sticky situations with girls' boyfriends. Because when he gropes the girls their boyfriends want to kill him. Miroku keeps Inuyasha out of trouble as well and is the one who encourages him to date and try to find a serious relationship. The two have argued over the dating issue for a while because Inuyasha says Miroku is a hypocrite for telling him to get into a serious relationship when all he does is grope women. Miroku says he can get into a serious relationship and stay in it he'd just rather not be tied down, and they never got to the end of that argument. They are very close, more like brother's rather than cousins, even though Miroku already has a sister and Inuyasha has a brother.

Souta and Kagome are very close siblings. Souta has always been more than a little overprotective of his sister. Every since their father died he has looked out for his younger sister. Now that Kagome is all grown up Souta is even more neurotic when it comes to her. He says, "I'm not stupid, I know how guys look at you and in case you didn't notice you're far from ugly…" Kagome thinks that Souta often overreacts. During Kagome's high school prom Souta came looking for her because her date said he'd have her home by 10pm but her mom said they could stay out until 2am, and since Souta didn't get that memo he was furious when he'd showed up at her prom threatening to remove the boy's proof of being a man. In fact Souta is ½ of the problem as to why Kagome can't stay in a relationship. But he says no one will ever be good enough for his little sister. Kagome has luckily found away to keep her brother out of her hair for the most part… tell their mom.

Sango and Kohaku have a similar relationship to Souta and Kagome. The big difference is that Sango and Kohaku have some serious violent anger issues. Luckily Kohaku grew up over the years and learned to control himself better. He hasn't bothered to try and calm Sango down a bit because he says that whoever she hurts must have deserved it. Both Sango and Kohaku feel that if a guy can't learn to accept Sango, bad habits and all then they're not worthy and deserve getting their ass kicked. But no mistake about it Kohaku's temper can be just ass bad as Sango's if you get him to that point.

Kanuyami is Miroku's older sister but not by much, though you would never know it considering the way Miroku gets when he's around her. He doesn't like guys looking at his sister and acts as if he was her father although both of their parents are still alive. Kanuyami isn't exactly okay with Miroku's groping habits, but doesn't approve of girls hitting her brother unless she knows or likes the girl. Miroku and Kanuyami look almost identical to each other despite the difference in gender and age. Also, Kanuyami didn't like Inuyasha's last girlfriend Kikyo which was part of the reason he broke up with her. Kanuyami doesn't really like girls either.

Other relationships between the characters will be revealed throughout the story.

Really, Really, Really important Author's Note… So Read Damn it!

What's really hood, Phoenix- Tabuutz is back! I know some of you whose been reading g my other two fics may be wondering what the hell happened to me. Well… Chronicles of a bad girl has been deleted by apparently I did rate my story properly. Well oops my bad… I knew I was forgetting to do something. Anyway, my computer crashed when I was writing chapter 5 and chapter 4 was already up. So I lost chapter's 1-4 and when I bought a knew part for my computer I had to rewrite chapter 5 and I've been saving my chapters on disk since then, but since I don't have chapters 1-4 I can't repost the story and re-rate it. So I'm sorry, unless you guys want me to just put up chapter 5 back up and add chapter 6 which I was writing when I got the notice that my story was deleted. So let me know what you guys want me to do. As for Of love and basketball I haven't abandoned that story… I've just been having writer's block for that story. And even though I already know the plot and the outcome because it's from the movie Love and Basketball, I'm just trying to figure out how to make it my own thing. But I am currently working on chapter 3 and working on posting it however slow I'm going about it, so forgive me. I hope you guys enjoy the intro to this fic. I wrote the intro first to see if you guys like where I'm going with it and if you want me to begin the actual story, so let me know. Okay I gotta go now my song is on…
