Hello readers! It's me DeVante (a.k.a. FalseFortune) bringing you the first chapter of my first Inuyasha fafiction: A Hanyou's Fear. Now keep in mind that this isn't just my first Inuyasha fic, it's my first fic ever. So when you review, try to send me constructive criticism, not pure hate mail. Okay, enough of my rambling. On with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of its characters. That honor belongs to the great Rumiko Takahashi.
Chapter 1 The first and last anniversary
"Um…I'll take that one." the silver haired hanyou said, pointing to a very expensive looking pair of diamond earrings.
"A very nice choice sir." said the store clerk. "Would you like to have it gift wrapped?"
"Huh? Oh, sure, whatever." he said, not even knowing what the clerk had asked. He was too busy daydreaming about how happy his girl friend would be when he gave her her gift. He had been seeing Kikyo for exactly 1 year now. He had been searching from store to store, looking for the perfect anniversary gift. Finally he had found it and was ready to bring it to her. 'I can't wait to see the look on her face when she sees it.' he thought to himself.
"All done sir." the clerk said, snapping him back to reality. "The total cost comes to $199.99. Will that be cash, or check?"
'What the hell?' he yelled in his head. 'That much just for a pair of earrings?' He just sighed and pulled out his wallet. 'That better be one hell of a look on her face.'
The silver haired boy arrived at Kikyo's house, the present safely tucked away in his pocket. Kikyo had given him her spare key so there was no need for him to knock or ring the door bell. He put in the key and opened the door. As soon as he set foot in the house, he covered his nose with his sleeve. Being a hanyou, he had a very sharp sense of smell. The place reeked of sex. He was getting suspicious. He knew what was going on here but he didn't want to accept it. He proceeded farther into the house, the smell getting worse with every step he took.
Finally, he reached the kitchen and his eyes widened. He looked in disbelief at his girlfriend riding another man on the dinner table. Kikyo froze when she looked up and saw him in the doorway. But not the man under her. "Who the hell are you?" he said, breaking the silence.
"I could ask you the same thing." he said in a dangerously calm voice. "Kikyo, care to explain?"
"I-Inuyasha…." she barely managed to say. "It's not…"
"Not what I think?" he said, almost amused that she had tried to say something so stupid.
"Inuyasha, please listen." she said as she got off of the man.
"Shut up. Here's your key." He placed the carved piece of metal on the table. "Good bye Kikyo." he said as turned around and went out the way he came. When Inuyasha got out the door he inhaled deeply, trying desperately to erase the disgusting smell from his nose. As he got in his car, he saw Kikyo come running out the door, now fully dressed, screaming for him to wait. 'How the hell did she get dressed so fast?' he thought as he started the car. He was about to pull out of the driveway when his curiosity got the better of him. He was interested in just how Kikyo would try to lie her way out of this. So he killed the engine and pressed the 'window down' button. When Kikyo made it to the car she nearly collapsed on the ground, completely out of breath. "I'm listening." Inuyasha said, looking down on her with an emotionless face.
"Inuyasha listen, he's just a friend, nothing more." she said, tears building up in her eyes.
"A friend?" Inuyasha said, straining not to laugh. "Wow, I had no idea friends fucked each other." She gave him a confused look.
"You're not mad?" she asked.
"Why should be mad at a slut?" he said. Kikyo suddenly reached a hand into the window to slap him, but he caught her hand. "Don't you dare fucking touch me." he said in that same dangerously calm voice. He shoved her hand back out the window. She collapsed on the ground again, this time crying. Inuyasha started the engine again. "Get up Kikyo. You look pathetic." And with that, he pulled out of the driveway, leaving a sobbing Kikyo in the dust.
While Inuyasha was waiting at a red light, the thought of the anniversary present crossed his mind. He rolled down the window and pulled the small box out of his pocket. Without the slightest ounce of hesitation, he tossed it and all of his feelings for Kikyo, out the window.
When Inuyasha finally got home, it was late at night. 'Why is traffic always so bad on the way back from her house?' he thought. 'Oh well, I won't have to deal with it anymore.'
He opened the door and went in. Suddenly he heard a strange growling sound coming from somewhere. He looked for the source of the sound before realizing that it was just his stomach. "Oh yeah. I haven't eaten all day." He went into the kitchen and opened a cabinet that was filled with nothing but cup ramen. He picked out a shrimp flavored one, added the water and put it in the microwave. He then went into the living room and sat down on the black leather couch. He turned on the T.V. and started channel surfing, not even looking at what was on. 'How could she cheat on me?' he thought. 'I trusted her. And she betrayed that trust. Feh, fine. I don't need her. I don't need anyone.' He heard the microwave beep and went to get his ramen.
After he finished the noodles, he crawled into bed, not bothering to take a shower or even change his clothes. 'So this is how life is like." he thought. 'Being single again. Feels kinda good.' And with that last thought, Inuyasha drifted off to sleep, blissfully unaware of what awaited him tomorrow.
End of chapter 1
So, there you go! A work of art isn't it? No applause, no applause, just throw money. Lol, just kidding. But really, like I said before, if you have any suggestions, please tell me in your reviews. I'll write the next chapter when I get at least 10 of them. Well, until next time. C ya!
