Independant Woman Chapter 2: First Impressions, an inuyasha fanfic

Hey guys. I'm actually getting my writing marathon done. I was out for three weeks because of a college credit thing trip to Australia. So I made myself do a writing marathon to update most of my stories and finish any uncomplete not internet stories before the school season started again. So far I got three done, including this one. Man am I behind.

So, anyway, in this story, Inuyasha and Miroku and Seeshomaru start to make their point across, however small they may be. And when the second half begins, I am pretty sure I was half dead when I wrote it, but it was the best I could come up with. Parties are pretty much crazy right?

As a final touch, I do not own Inuyasha. I own the plot. If I owned Inuyasha, the world would be at an apocolyps.

Chapter two:

Kagome felt a whole lot better. She got rid of a new enemy and got some new friends. Life was going great. They banded together like real friends do. Before, Kagome would pretty much hang out with Sango or Kouga. But, ever since the boyfriend scenario, Sango wasn't there as often. She would still see her or talk to her on the phone, but Kagome spent a lot more time with Kouga and his friends. These people were much more like true friends. They were there for her when she needed it and now that she isn't in that much pain, they still stuck around.

It wasn't like Kagome had any of her old friends now anyway. She had hung out with the wrong crowd and now that Kouga had gotten a punch from her, all her so called friends that she had been with before no longer talked to her, or even acknowledged her in the hallways. Probably because Kouga prohibited it too. But Kagome was past that. She had new friends and her new friends had independence of their own.

The day went on and Kagome felt a whole lot better. She laughed and smiled just like before, and this time it really was sincere.

"What about you Kagome?"

"Huh?" Kagome was drawn from her thoughts. It was lunchtime, and they were sitting around a lunch table. Kagura sat on the table, Rin held her head down on her hands, being held up by the radio from this morning, and Sango just sat down, coming back from getting her food. Everyone else was sitting normally. Nazuna was trying to open a bag of chips and Kanna was calmly eating a turkey sandwich.

"Who is can get Nazuna to sleep over?" Sango repeated.

"You guys." Nazuna protested, finally breaking the bag with her teeth and causing a downpour of potato chips all over the table. "Oops. Sorry." She apologized sheepishly, but got to the point. "I feel really bad that you have to keep going through this every day." Having been orphaned and then having her guardian betray her, she had nowhere else to go because she absolutely refused to go back to her despicable supposedly father-character's home unless she really had to.

"You don't deserve to have to go to that bastard for shelter." Kagura responded. "The most we can do is help you with shelter. Do you want to go back?"

Nazuna's face darkened with pain, humility, and hate as she remembered. "No. No, I don't."

"Well, my parents say its okay to bring a couple people, just as long as we don't tear down the house or make a hell lot of noise." Rin said.

"Thanks Rin." Nazuna said in gratitude.

"No problem." Rin replied with a smile.

"It's been a while since we had a get together with just us." Kagura said, stretching upwards. "The last time was about a month ago when we first had Kagome." She clapped Kagome on the back. Kagome smiled.

Two boys sat on the table near the girls, arguing among themselves.

"Listen Miroku, I'm telling you that they are more likely going to punch me in the face then talk to me."

"And I'm saying that you are being too over-confident that they are going to hate you so quickly." The one named Miroku rebutted.

"I'm not confident, I'm positive." The other boy shot back.

"Inuyasha, Inuyasha, look." Miroku sighed, shaking his head and put his hand over Inuyasha's shoulder and pointed to the girls, a lecture coming on. "These girls don't like men because they think men are weak and too full of themselves."

"You mean like you?" Inuyasha said dryly. "Don't touch me."

"Hold on, listen." Miroku said, taking his hand off his shoulder. "Just go over there, and say, 'Hello ladies," And, and say something charming. It would probably help to touch them a little. They like that."

"No they don't." Inuyasha scoffed. "Since when did you become the love doctor?"

"It's in my blood." Miroku said, his fist to his chest in a noble pose. "Now go over there and make them notice you."

"You make it sound so easy." Inuyasha said and looked to his best friend for sympathy just to notice he wasn't there anymore. He looked around. "Miroku?" And an arm grabbed him from behind and jerked him up and pushed him towards the table, causing him to fall face flat on the ground. "Oof."

"Just make a move." Miroku hissed.

Inuyasha picked himself off the ground and looked up. All the girls were looking at him with a what-the-heck look on their face. "Oh, heh heh. Hi." He said sheepishly. "Um..." He coughed in the awkward silence.

Kagura moved her expression to an arrogant look with her hands folded. Kanna resumed eating her sandwich like nothing happened. Everyone else still looked at him, their expressions softened a little, but they were still looking at him oddly.

"Yeah... well... uh..." At that point in time, Inuyasha froze. He forgot everything he was about to say, he forgot his back-up lines, he forgot his vocabulary altogether.

"Come on Inuyasha, say SOMETHING. ANYTHING." Miroku begged quietly to himself.

"Do... um.. would you- have you... uhh... Could I go to the bathroom?" Inuyasha said the last part quickly, saying the first thing that came to his mind.

Miroku smacked his forehead. "Anything... but that."

"Uhhh... sure..." Kagome said, staring at him with an even more creeped out look.

"Yeeeah... thanks." Inuyasha said and hurried in that direction and Miroku followed him.

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

"I'm not really one to swear all that much, but what the freakin hell was that!" Miroku shouted at him. One guy who was going to the bathroom looked at Miroku oddly.

"Sorry, keep on doing... your thing." Miroku said to him and turned to Inuyasha. "Of anything you could say, of thousands of charming sayings, you could have asked the time, you could have asked if they liked going to the beach, but you asked if you could go to the bathroom. You ask the teacher that, actually, you don't even ask the teacher that, this is lunch, you could go whenever you want to."

Inuyasha glared at Miroku as he continued to rant on about how incredibly stupid that action was. When he was done, he shouted back at him "You make it sound so easy!"

"It IS easy. Watch." Miroku said and headed out of the bathroom.

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

"That... was... weird." Kanna commented.

"Your telling me." Sango replied.

"Hello ladies." Everyone turned around to look at Miroku. Inuyasha over at the sidelines sitting at the stairway watching Miroku with a so-gonna-get-smacked look on his face.

"Um, hi, would you like to ask to go to the bathroom too? Cause you can." Rin said.

"Why would I ask that?" Miroku asked, looking offended. "I was just wondering if anyone of you lovely young ladies would like to join me on a date Saturday night." He said, going right to the point. Kagura rolled up her sleeves and crossed her arms, waiting to see what else he would do.

"No thanks, we'll pass." Sango said with a small drop of coldness in there.

"Ah." Miroku had spotted Sango. Sango's eyes widened a little with surprise when Miroku knelt down in front of her and held her hands. "My dear. You are the loveliest of all beauties. I would be greatly honored if you would join me for a date."

Sango blushed a deep red. She opened her mouth but no noise came out. Miroku took his right hand and stroked her arm. Sango twitched and went to a deeper shade of red.

"So, what's your answer Sango?" Rin asked, half-teasingly. Sango turned her body around half way to shush her, she was already embarrassed and uncomfortable enough. But then Miroku did the most... well, like him. He stroked her exposed ass.

Sango squeaked and slapped him. Miroku face was forced to the side in the impact. Inuyasha jerked back and quietly oohed to himself. Kagura leaped over the table and landed in front of them, shielded Sango from Miroku and...

THWAK!

BAM!

THUD!

"OW!"

"Why Ladies?" Miroku yelled as he ran off. "I meant no harm!"

Shut up
Just shut up
Shut up Shut up Shut up
Shut it up, just shut up

All the girls looked at Rin, who had fumbled with the CD's, put one in, and pushed play. They looked at each other and started laughing. "Rin, that's mean!" Nazuna laughed.

Rin just smiled innocently.

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

Inuyasha sat there and laughed his ass off at a Miroku who supported a healthy throbbing black eye. "I suppose that's the proper way to talk to a woman eh? Ha ha ha ha ha..."

"Oh shut up." Inuyasha's older brother, Sesshomaru passed by and looked at them with a look of slight content on his face.

"Let me guess, both of you tried to make a move and both failed miserably."

"You don't help at all." Miroku whined. Inuyasha scowled at them.

"I never said, nor did I want to help you." He said, and without another word turned his back on them and made his way towards the table where the girls sat.

"Excuse me, Kagura is it?"

"Yeah? What'dya want?"

"I just was curious to what the time was."

Kagura looked at her wrist watch for a couple seconds. "11:55."

"Thank you. I appreciate it." He said and without another word, walked away towards the hallway and passed by Miroku and Inuyasha who stared at him with their mouths open, like it was this fantastic feat that he had gotten away without getting punched or looked at like a total loser.

"Do not gawk, you simply try too hard." Sesshomaru said without looking at them and disappeared inside a classroom.

Kagura watched him warily as he walked away and turned into a hallway. "Well, that was WAY better then the other two guys that tried to hit on us." Kagome commented.

"Uh-huh..." Kagura said with a dazed look in her eye.

"Uh, Kagura? Kagura!" Rin snapped her fingers in front of her eyes and Kagura snapped back into reality. "Huh?"

"What? Do you like him or something?" Nazuna asked.

"What? No! I just got into that habit of staring into space for some reason." Kagura said, waving it away like it was a fly. The other girls weren't sure if that was the truth or just some weird excuse. But then again, Kagura hated men above all of them, so... what could they say?

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

Music was blasting loudly in the basement of Rin's house. They were all laughing really hard as they danced and spilled their Cokes, Sprites, Root Beer and Dr. Pepper on to the carpet Rin's parents were smart to put plastic over. Rin's parents had that room sound-proofed long ago, so there was no problem. Kanna had a rare, small smile on her face. She wasn't dancing with them, just nodding her head to the beat of the music and tapping her foot.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

If I was a rich girl na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl

Sango, Kagome, and Kagura pushed some tables together and Kagome and Sango jumped up on it, walking up and down it, acting like models. Kagome walked to the front and twirled, flicked her hair and posed.

Think what that money could bring
I'd buy everything
Clean out Vivienne Westwood
In my Galliano gown
No, wouldn't just have one hood
A Hollywood mansion if I could
Please book me first-class to my fancy house in London town

The rest of them laughed and threw their hands up in the air and jumped up and down and wooted. They were acting crazy but who cares, it was a girl's party. There was no one to impress here.

All the riches baby, won't mean anything
All the riches baby, won't bring what your love can bring
All the riches baby, won't mean anything
Don't need no other baby
Your lovin' is better than gold, and I know

If I was rich girl (na, na...)
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl

I'd get me four Harajuku girls to (uh huh)
Inspire me and they'd come to my rescue
I'd dress them wicked, I'd give them names (yeah)
Love, Angel, Music, Baby
Hurry up and come and save me

Sango came up next. She blew a kiss and twirled herself around, leaping off and landing on the ground, head first. She landed on her palms, break-danced some, then flipped and landed on her feet. The girls clapped. Sango had been to cheer leading for a couple of years, but stopped when the standards came too high for her plus the fact that the coach was a total jackass.

Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls
What, it's all love
What, give it up
What (shouldn't matter 4x), what
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls
What, it's all love
What, give it up
What (shouldn't matter 4x)
What happened to my life
Turned upside down
Chicks dat blew ya mind, ding, it's the second round
(Original track and ting, mmm)
You know you can't buy these things (no)
See Stefani and her L.A.M.B., I rock the Fetish people
You know who I am

Kagura threw her fist into the air, the rest of the girls mimicked her. Kagura took the hair tie that held her hair in a tight bun off and shook it loose. The other girls cheered.

Yes ma'am, we got the style that's wicked
I hope you can all keep up
We climbed all the way from the bottom to the top
Now we ain't gettin' nothin' but love

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

They all partied for hours until they crashed down on the ground in exhaustion. When that happened, they just slept. Laying on top of one another. Kanna was off in the corner. Kagome was laying on her belly, her head turned to the side. Sango on top of her, using her back as a pillow. Kagura on top of a table, kinda like Sleeping Beauty 'ish. Rin was using Nazuna as a teddy bear and Nazuna was on her side. There was soda cans all over the floor and chips scattered everywhere. Rin turned over and there was the distinct crackle of cheese puffs crunching.

Kagura turned, and, painfully, fell off the table. "Ow!" She looked up from falling face-down onto the (I must say) filthy floor. She looked at the room and started to laugh.

Her laughing brought the others to wake up. They looked at themselves and laughed as well. Ah yes, the beauty of friendship.

Ok, I am really sleepy from writing so much, so I'll just make my point, my random segment, and my thank yous. The first one, the one that said Shut up ten times rapid fire, was Shut up by The Black eyed peas. The second one, was Rich girl by Gwen Stefani.

Seeshomaru had a five second part in this chapter, but their romance will come up eventually. Having both being remarkably stubborn, their relationship will happen last. But then again, Inuyasha and Kagome are also stubborn... oh well.

For my random segment, I was watching the fourth movie of Inuyasha the other day with some friends. We were watching a certain part, and a friend of mine, I ain't mentioning names, said it looked like Kikyo was going to give Inuyasha a blowjob. For a full fifteen seconds, the whole world stopped as we stared at her in disgust.

And lastly, I thank you for reading, I appreciate it. I would also appreicate reviews too. Please be nice, the water in my ego bucket is really shallow as it is. Thanks. I'm going to sleep.

Alena Rio.
