AU-Kagome spends summer vacation up at her cottage. She finds out her closest friends are moving away. She comes back from summer vacation to await the horror. Everything and everyone she's loved has changed for the worst...
Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha.
Finally summer- Nobody realized how long I've waited just to get a break from almost everything, and everyone. All except my family and friends of course. Not like it's a bad thing, then again sometimes it can be.
Two months away from studies, teachers, and classmates. It's different. But I think I'll enjoy the summer more than I thought I would be. I'm back here, at my family's cottage. It's beautiful. The sun room just in front of the small spa, small flower gardens surrounding house, not to mention the huge kitchen, and the nice beds. I actually have a lock on my door so my younger brother Sota, isn't able to walk in whenever he feels like it!
I think my mother enjoys the summer break out of all of us combined. She's never seemed happier in her life. I never seen her relaxing against the fold out chairs, soaking in the summer rays with a drink in her left hand and a magazine in front of her face. Usually she's always catering to us, trying to please us- well, trying to be a good mother. I think ever since my father passed away, she's been trying to make up for his absence. Trying to be a mother, and a father. She's doing an excellent job for somebody in her position. I don't know how she deals with it. Somebody she loved forever, dreamed to married, and cared about first time they were together. Just suddenly disappears from their life, leaves her behind as well as a family. I just hope summer will change things; hopefully she'll relax and let Sota and I handle things as well as Inuyasha.
Inuyasha has always been a close friend to me. Doesn't matter what's going on with him, when he sees me crying or hears that my life isn't going that great he usually rushes to the scene and practically saves me. He's like a hero. He always laughs when I tell him that, and basically I'm just telling the truth through my eyes. Sometimes he tends not to even let me call him that. He'll either get embarrassed on the subject, or just hated that I'd even compare him to one. That's just the way he is. He can be a sweet, caring guy on occasion, but usually a teasing, snappy, hot headed guy who's got a lot of attitude. Usually when he gets out of hand somebody has to put him in place, and that's usually me. It's like a regular job, like being a mother. Twenty four seven. A lot of people ask me how I deal with him? I can't even answer that question. He's really sweet and quiet around my family though. More like my grandfather and mother unless; he's having a stupid argument with my grandfather over something pointless. It always is.
He's really good with my brother, Sota though. It makes me laugh how they bonded so quickly. He's always been a big brother to Sota. He'll always sitting there giving him advice about things he's too embarrassed to ask me, or they'll sit there playing video games trying to beat each other at every game imaginable. Usually when Inuyasha steps in the door he doesn't even have enough time to take his shoes off. Sota runs immediately down the stairs, grabs him by the hand, before Inuyasha can even exchange hellos or even say one word. More in Sota's case, before I take Inuyasha away from him.
" Inuyasha umm I need to ask you something. It's important…"
Sota said nervously noticing Inuyasha standing against the dock with his feet dangling, just skimming the warm water with his feet. His black tank top was thrown against the yellow fold out chair, with the ice tea beside it that I made just for him.
Inuyasha lightly sipped on the straw holding it between his teeth and his lips, with his brownish eyes opened to the sun setting sky. Sota, he always looked up at Inuyasha like he was he's hero, his idol more than anything else. He believed Inuyasha had every answer to every questioned he asked him, and that he saw him as a cool type of guy and loved that he could get press my buttons better than anybody else.
Sota nervously sat beside him on the dock, while Inuyasha was half naked with only his black and red swim trousers on, looking up at the sky like it had all the answers for him to give to my younger brother. My brother just his hands folded looking down at his feet and the blackish colored water underneath them, occupied by the small bass that swam by. Inuyasha's black hair just settled against his shoulders, looking so heroic in the shadows and the sunlight's how it was hitting him. He gently brought himself up from the dock curiously when he saw the anxious nervous expression painted on the young boy's face. Inuyasha hazily opened his eyes fully, showing that he was listening and had his undivided attention all aimed at him.
" What do you need to tell me squirt?"
Inuyasha had a raspy tone to his voice, but you could tell if by the tone of voice if he cared or not about something. Inuyasha titled his head back against his hands, acting like a pillow while he got the beautiful scenic view of the purplish yellowish sky, with the sun slowly setting while the white colored moon was peeking through the clouds waiting for it to take it's place.
" Well. umm it's kind of embarrassing. I mean if I told Kagome she'd literally hug me, and nag me about it for days and days"
Inuyasha's eyebrow was already raised, almost touching his forehead. Inuyasha was really good at hearing and already knowing what the problem was. He was smart in some senses. If it came to people's problems or admitting something Inuyasha always had the right advice, even if though some wasn't always be something I'd personally listen to.
His face looked up high at the mid night sky. Inuyasha would barely move when he listened to people speak their minds. The only thing he would do was breathe and sit completely still, like a statue. He loved listening to people. He always listened to me fess up to things or discovers my feelings bit by bit. He would be the listener and I'd always be the talker. I think that's we both work so well together. He's just got that look like you could trust him with every single word fact is, you can.
AN: So far this is just the intro. I've been working on this fic behind the scenes for awhile now. It's summer fic thank god, because well I love summer and fits with summer coming up eh?
