Howdy! How are all my oh so wonderful readers? (I do have some right? RIGHT?) Anyway, I have come out with a new story "Lingering Pasts". The outside summary was shitty so here's a new one:
Kagome is a gothic punk gang leader and has a bad case of sticky fingers (steals stuff). She doesn't really need it; she's bloody rich; she just enjoys the thrill and spoils her friends with the stuff. Anyway, she may be a hood-looking, stealing punk, but she still gets all 100's and is in most of the leadership programs like StuCo (student council) and NHS (national honor society). One day, she is scheduled to give a new kid a tour around the campus and spend the day with him, going over classes, who not to mess with, cliques, forbidden territory, the whole high school thing. The kid turns out to be the principal's nephew, a kid name Inuyasha. They eventually fall for each other but they can't be together because of their pasts. They thought they had gotten rid of their bad pasts. How wrong they were.
Pairings:
Inuyasha/Kagome
Sango/Miroku
Rin/Kohaku
Shippo/Rene
Sessh/Kagura?
About the pairings:
Inuyasha/Kagome
In the end I just cant break up the famous couple. This is a major Inu/Kags fic, so deal with it! At first it will seem like a Kouga/Kags fic, but I assure you it will change.
Sango/Miroku
Well, der. This is one couple I will not split up.
Rin/Kohaku
First of all, let me explain to all of you, I have an obsessive friend. Her name is Kat. She is so obsessive over Inuyasha, that she is buying the whole series, in Japanese, so she is already on like episode 200-somethin. I happen to be on episode 150-somethin…or was it 140? I dunno, just that I am kinda far in the series and the last episode I saw, Rin went chasing after Kohaku because she remembered him as a friend. So I decided to pair them up. If you don't like it, don't read this fic. Sticks out tongue
Shippo/Rene
Well, for those of you who didn't read my other fic I suggest you don't. It's gone. Anyway Rene is my own character and since she can't necessarily be Kag's daughter (check out my other fic for Rene's description and who she is.) she will just idol after her -. Any way, yeah, in the last fic I put them together so in this fic I'm doing the same. Oh yeah and Shippo fits that description too (see other fic).
Update: sorry I forgot I recently took that story down. Here's the description: wait, first, did anyone see that episode with the thunder brothers little sister? You might have, but I think it's a little too far ahead for those of you who watch it on cartoon network. Anyway, at the end, the little sister develops a crush on Shippo and draws a picture of an older Shippo. It's like Shippo only a bit different. Lets say he is now as tall as kagome, is still scrawny (it would kinda look weird if he was short and buff . ) but strong enough to be in the gang. My character Rene (pronounced reenee) is an excellent fighter with a small amount of miko fighting powers. She's a little shorter than the Shippo in my story and has long black hair with white tips. She also has black eyes, black nails, and is a neko-youkai.
Sessh/Kagura
Sorry! Dodges flying objects I couldn't think of anyone to put with Sessh! Hmm.. How do I fix this problem? Okay, I'll take a poll. If 10 or more people are strongly against this pairing, I'll try to find someone else for Sessh.
Well. I've taken care of pairs…now what? Oh yeah, warnings!
Warnings:
This fic is not for Kikyo-lovers or even likers. MAJOR Kikyo bashing
This fic is not for Kouga-haters. I personally like Kouga and I will not make him evil in this fic. I might kill him off, though. Oops I think I just gave away classified info! Oh poo.
This fic will also have major preppy bashing. I for one hate them, therefore my characters will hate them. I think they are too perfect, and have high pitched annoying voices. And their evil in there own special way. Or maybe I've just seen Mean Girls too many times. Whatever.
This fic will contain lots and lots of profanities so little ones beware! This is a high school fic after all and everybody I know in highschool cusses 24/7
This fic will contain lots and lots of fluff and most likely have a lemon or 2.
Actually, I don't quite know the whole "no lemons" policy in so if I offend anyone or something me sorry, but you have been warned.
This fic contains a lot of description. I tend to really go into someone's outfit. Me sorry for that too.
I am open for suggestions! If ever you want me to put a certain car or outfit or whatever please tell me! I know nothing about cars and there is a big race scene in this story so I'm going to need some fast cars ASAP. I will usually accept any out fit as long as there is no pink whatsoever and it's not too sluttish.
I will also gladly give well-earned shout outs and/or replies to people who review.
I just wanted to say the gangs name and a scene/plot or two in this story was stolen from an actual story called the silver shadows. I personally love that story and would never wish to give it a bad name or anything, but since the dear sweet author hasn't updated since last September and I couldn't think of one on my own, I decided to borrow some stuff.
Oh and I like to use lots of Japanese in my story. Hear are the translations:
Ano-um
Sumimasen-forgive me
Gomen/ Gomen nasai/ Gomen ne-all basically mean sorry
Neko-cat
Youkai-demon
Nani-what?
(if I forgot any, just ask in a review-)
Well I think I've done enough blabbering for one chapter so on with the disclaimer and then the story!
DISCLAIMER: I will not, cannot, or am not going to own Inuyasha for all my days. If I did I wouldn't be wasting my time with stupid school for I would be rich. You get the idea.
Lingering Pasts
Chapter one
"The friends and the foe."
Oh life, why art thou so cruel? Kagome thought as she grumbled down the sidewalk to school.
She looked at her watch.
Yay. 8:15. 45 minutes to get to school. Damn I wish I hadn't put my car in the paint shop. Where's Kouga when I need him? He just had to throw my alarm clock at the wall and break it, didn't he? Stupid youkai hearing.
She giggled to herself. Oh well, small price to pay for such a fun night with him. He'd come to her apartment last night fully aware everyone was away at a party in the basement and lets just say he stayed long enough to be very rudely woken up by an alarm clock. Therefore he did what any other youkai with sensitive hearing would've done. He threw it at the wall.
So this morning she'd been woken up by her best friend Sango, whose method was very painful. (she threw her shoe at her). While stumbling around the small kitchen looking for breakfast, her personal trainer walked in and decided it was time for another lesson. Kaede gave Kagome these so called 'lessons' every week and Kagome just could not back out of it. Kaede had worked her good this time and now Kags was practically crawling from lack of sleep (he he, naughty Kouga!) and such a hard workout session.
Why did I have to go and wreck my bike?
Kags had wrecked her motorcycle earlier this week and it was the only other thing than her car she would ever consider riding to school. The last thing she needed was a bunch of people crowding around her precious new Jag.
Oh yes.
What a lovely price to pay for being the leader of the deadliest gang in the city.
The black dragons.
(Queue scary music. )
Not that she was shameful of her dear sweet gang, she just kinda wish she didn't have to live in such secrecy.
It was his fault.
It was all his goddamned fault.
His fault her father had gotten drugs.
His fault she'd had to watch her mom get murdered by her dad.
His fault she'd seen the one person left of her family, her beloved older brother Souta, shot in the head.
And his fault she was made an orphan at age 12.
flashback
(Kags point of view)
Oh no. It's the end of the month. He'll be there, I just know it. I hope mom and Souta aren't there.As I ran into the driveway I didn't see my mom's car. That was good, one less person out of trouble. Now to see if HE is still there. Opening the door I said a silent prayer. Then walked in late once again.
As I dropped my backpack and slipped off my holey sneakers, I heard an all too familiar muffled scream.
Assuming the worst I took out the switchblade inside my boot. Silently walking within the shadows, as I have learned growing up in the slums, I sneaked into our small living room, from which the muffled cry came from. As I turn the corner, I saw my mother on the floor, beaten worse than usual. He must have gotten hold of some pretty whacked shit to do this. But the thing is I didn't see HIM anywhere. Thinking he left I ran to my mother using my blade to cut the bounds and gag. Right as the gag was off mom yelled "BEHIND YOU!" but before I could turn around he busted a beer bottle on the side of my head. Knocking the blade out of my hand and me away from mom as I land on my stomach on the broken bottle pieces. The sharp glass shards piercing my skin.
I heard my mother scream and for the first time it was loud enough for some one to hear.
HE turned to her and punched in the stomach, making her cough up blood.
"STOP IT! " I screamed from the floor, desperately trying to get up as blood trickled from my own mouth from the blow to the head. I was cursing my-self for being so weak.
"Ooh, you want me stop. Well, TOO BAD! ONLY IF THE BITCH WILL GIVE ME ANY MONEY MAYBE I'D MAKE THIS QUICK!" HE yelled, as he took my abandoned blade and slowly cuts a deep 'X' across my back.
It burned hotter then the eternal burning flames of hell, but I wouldn't cry or scream out in agony this time. That would only give him the satisfaction of breaking the last of me.
"NOO!" Mom screamed bashing a vase over his head, as he turn and stabbed her in the chest, twisting the blade deeper as a sick smile twisted on his face.
"MOM!" I yelled hearing Souta's voice with mine as mom fell to the floor, landing on me. I turned my head towards the hallway where I saw Souta running toward him, his eyes full of rage and horror as he hit the murderer with a steel baseball bat.
My best friend Sango stood by her brother Kohaku who had come in behind Souta, both horrified and trying to process what had just happen.
My dad was currently getting knocked unconscious by Souta.
My mother was dead.
2 years later
I crouched behind the short wall that separated me from the three story drop, on the other side; my breath was rapid, fists clenched, and the sound of my heart beating seemed to drown out all thought. 'come on Souta get out of there now', I felt my mind scream at my older brother 'please Souta just run, please Souta please your all I have, oh gods please just run' I felt my eyes burn and water, the scene before me blurred as tears came forth. I forced the tears back while blinking rapidly to set the scene back in focus.
He stood tall, and proud, his eyes held no fear but a strong determination. I knew he was itching to look up to where he knew I sat in the shadows hidden, and safe.
"So traitor any last words" said a man with long wavy black hair tied back.
"Come on stop playing and get this over with"
"Calm down I'm just having some fun" said the man while letting an evil smile play across his lips.
"This may just be fun and games to you, but let me warn you, my death will be revenged" Souta's words were cold and emotionless ringing clear throughout the night.
Onigumo looked Souta up and down, then gazed into his fearless eyes "you have courage I'll give you that, but your still a nobody, with no family or friends to revenge you, so don't waste my time with pitiful threats when there's no one to carry them out for you.
"Face it Souta your in too deep there's no way of getting your self out now. You've crossed the line it's over. But I am forgiving, so if you give back the gem I may reconsider"
Souta shook his head "No, the gem is gone"
Onigumo shrugged "too bad"
BANG!
End flashback
Oh Souta. Why did you have to steal it? Why did you have to leave me?
She let a tear escape her eye and sniffed.
"YO! KAGOME!" she hastily wiped that godforsaken tear and slapped on a way too cheery smile as she registered that all-too-familiar voice. The last thing she needed was someone seeing the leader of the Black Dragons crying.
"OI! MIROKU! 'BOUT TIME! I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA HAVE TO WALK THE REST OF THE WAY! She screamed back as one of her second in command and other best friend drove up in a black jeep with red interior.
When I say red interior I mean red seat covers. On the steering wheel was a red cover with a black dragon that had a red eye. Other than those of the gang, few knew this boy was an actual Shadow but those who weren't of the gang and did know only knew because of his jeeps color and because of his tattoo.
The red outline on the wheel signified as his rank.
First rank (leader: kagome) was a black dragon with blue eyes and second was a black dragon with red eyes.
Second in command were Sango, Miroku, and Kouga.
Third in command were Kohaku, Shippo and Rin. Their tattoos were black dragons with green eyes.
Next came the fighters.
High-class fighters of the gang had black dragons with gold eyes, middle class with silver eyes, and those who were too young and couldn't fight had an outlined dragon.
Anyone with a certain job in the gang (computer dudes, security, medical etc.etc) had a black dragon with a purple eye.
All tattoos were on their right hand and were covered with a black fingerless glove.
"oh, god forbid the all powerful kagome has to walk three more blocks to get to school." Miroku said while rolling his eyes and slowing to a stop next to kagome who had been walking on the sidewalk.
"Damn strait Mir-Mir." She smirked inwardly as she climbed on to the jeep with one big jump. He suddenly started whining. She knew she had hit a nerve. "Kagomeeeeee! I thought you promised you would stop calling me that! And in public no less!" Miroku turned to look at her face for the first time. His voice instantly softened and he reached over to swat down the mirror. "Kagome-Chan, fix your face. You never know who could be looking." She stared into the mirror. Her black eyeliner ran down her face and smeared. It was obvious she had been crying. She mumbled a defeated thanks as she reached into her purse for her eye pencil. "Lemme guess. Remembering old times?"
Kagome flinched.
"Miroku, how do you always know?"
Sigh "it's a gift."
Kags looked at him suspiciously.
"And the fact that you have known me since I was five has absolutely nothing to do with it?"
He smiled brightly. "Nope!"
Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Anyway, ya know what my motto is in sad times?"
" Ano…'it wasn't my fault, her ass was right there'?" Kagome stated innocently.
"Yes. I mean no! I mean…goddamnit Kagome, why do you make me think this early in the mornings?"
She giggled to herself and proceeded to turning on the radio and blasting linkin park for the rest of the way there.
Miroku always knew how to cheer her up.
As Miroku pulled into the parking lot, kagome looked up at their oh so wonderfully wonderful school. One more year. One more godforsaken year.
Miroku watched as kagome stared off at the large building.
"Ano, kagome, don't you have a meeting with someone today?"
…
"OH SHIT!"
She screamed as she jumped out of the jeep and started running. Miroku sighed and smiled. "That girl will never change".
OH SHIT! Ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit! I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT! She screamed in her mind as she ran full speed to the meeting.
"Hojo! HOJO-KUN!" kagome screamed as she saw the stucco president walk out of a classroom. He turned to see who was calling his name and waved at her. "OHIYO, HIGURA-…"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
They screamed as kagome ran strait into him and sent them flying.
"Ano, sumimasen Hojo-kun…" she said looking down on him.
"N-No problem…" he replied blushing profusely.
She was currently straddling his stomach and lets just say the round things in his face weren't her eyes. She jumped up and grabbed his hand so he could do the same.
"Hojo-kun, did I miss the meeting? Did I miss anything important?" he looked up at her face. "hunh? Oh right um yeah, just the designing of the big poster for the front foyer and the shirt logos." He replied happily.
Kagome just stared at him.
She almost felt like crying all over again.
The poster?
And the shirts?
Why? She loved designing stuff!
Everybody wanted her to design their shirts and logos and everything!
It was her passion!
And the one group she was most dedicated to didn't even wait for her?
"ano…Higurashi-san, I was just kidding. Nobody showed up, so we decided to cancel the meeting…your not gonna kill me right?"
kagome looked up at him.
He started to get worried when she didn't say anything.
He knew he shouldn't have played that trick on her.
You just didn't mess with Kagome Higurashi's designing obsession.
Shit, you just didn't mess with her period.
She sighed a sigh of relief and turned around.
"Whatever. Sayonara, Hojo-kun."
When she was out of earshot, Hojo took his turn and breathed a sigh of relief.
She had said bye, so that meant she wasn't really mad at him. Or at least he hoped so.
Last thing he needed was every punk/goth beating him up for messing with their leader. He still hadnt figured out why they followed her, but he knew he was the only one who noticed.
He had asked kagome about it a week ago and she had said she couldn't tell him.
She'd asked if he knew if any one else noticed it and he had said no.
She'd asked him if they could keep it between the two of them, and he said sure, why not?
Gods he was a sucker for kagome.
All she had to do was flash him a smile and he would melt.
Lets just hope her dear sweet boyfriend kouga didn't find out or his head would be served on a silver platter.
As kagome walked off, she heard him sigh a sigh of relief. Great, now the StuCo presidant was scared of her. Who wasn't?
This was trning out to be a very annoyingly tiresome day.
She heard loud, high pitched laughing coming from around the corner and stopped dead in her tracks.
The one thing to make the day much worse was about to run strait into her.
Maybe if she ran fast enough she could escape her torturous fate.
The laughing immediately stopped and kagome looked up.
There standing not 5 feet away was the most annoyingly preppy bitch at this godforsaken school.
Kikyo Rohgabtuls Takaya.
(middle name pronounced ROE.GAB.TULLS)
"Well, well, well, if it isnt the lowlife Kagome Higurashi"
"wow, I think I just set the fastest record of drowning in the shallow end of the gene pool," she said, while crossing her arms and leaning against the lockers closest to her.
Kikyo looked confused for a second then also crossed her arms and said "OH NO! You didn't just call me shallow, did you?"
"If you mean by shallow I could step in a puddle of you and not get my feet wet then yes! Yes I did! Now if you'll excuse me, I don't want my 'lowlife' friends to see me with the likes of you."
Then just as she was about to turn around and walk off, she said in her most mocking, high-pitched, preppy voice:
"CIAO!"
I don't think it wouldve been possible to remove kikyo's chin from the ground even if you had a crowbar.
"DAMN YOU HIGURASHI!"
Kagome snickered as she heard the echoed cry. Maybe today won't seem so bad after all!
So, how was the first chapter? For the next chapter I would greatly appreciate 4 reviews and lyrics to your favorite clubbin song! That's right folks! The next chapter is called clubbin but I have no song lerics for a good dirty dancing song! I was thinking maybe 'yeah' by usher or 'tipsy' by…well by whoever wrote it I guess. I don't know who sings tipsy but I know it's an awesome song! I'm also gonna need a decent racecar for a later chapter so keep that in mind!
Chat: this will be my chat box. It will be at the end of every chapter and will hold replies to questions, explanations to stuff, and/or anything random my deranged little mind can obtain. I recently saw this movie called first daughter and it sucked! It was so depressing I wanted to cry. Hey, maybe I should right a fanfic about it! I'll call it… SAD DEPRESSING STORY ABOUT A PRESIDANTS DAUGHTER! …
…
