Enter Inuyasha! :)
I tried to get a few laughs out of this but tell me what your reactions are.
I own my wild imagination and nothing more.
Chapter two- My heart will go on...
Recap:-
She eventually gave in and swam to the rock at the centre and pulled herself up onto the seat like area and took a deep breath before she started to sing.
Less than two hundred meters away was a pair of friends walking home from a night out.
Miroku laughed and swigged the empty bottle he had with him and kept forgetting that it was empty. "Awww maaaaaannnn" he whined and sat down. "My drinks gone"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes at his drunken friend, Inuyasha didn't really drink much so was sober enough to drag Miroku home. "Get up you lazy dog" he said and tried to pull him to his feet but it was too late. Miroku snored on the forest path passed out from all the drinks he had drunk over losing a girl.
Inuyasha punched him in the face but he only muttered "Not cool man…" before passing out again.
Inuyasha ran his fingers through his silver hair, it was his natural colour as he came from a very exotic background. He had golden eyes and lots of piercings in his right ear (No doggie ears here, sorry just didn't feel right in this story). He hissed him frustration. Miroku's weakness was girls dumping him and lots of drinks that normally caused the dumping.
Inuyasha didn't really think much of girls. He lived in a villa his mother had left him when she passed away a long time ago it was right by the sea with a jungle forest behind it making it a to die for place.
He was eighteen and had the body of a supermodel, he was covered in hard lean muscles that made him both very attractive and very strong, but hidden passion lived in his best sport, surfing.
Miroku was a surfer as well but he had to work in his uncle's souvenirs and charms shop that Inuyasha also worked at sometimes, Miroku had quite a large family and he had to work for his keep in a way.
Miroku had violet eyes and brown hair that he often tied back with a leather band. He was normally very nice and a pleasant person to be around but he was drunk at the minuet so not so much right now.
Inuyasha and Miroku had been friends since childhood and had stood by each other always since then.
Inuyasha sat down and waited for Miroku to wake up so he could drag him home, but as he waited he heard music.
He turned towards the sound and thought that perhaps someone was having a beach party. It wasn't so unusual but there wasn't any beach in that direction, only a rocky cove. He was about to lose interest then he heard a girl start to sing.
"Every night in my dreams I see you. I feel you. This is how I know you go on…far across the distance and spaces between us. You have come to show you go on"
Inuyasha stood up and whispered "What a beautiful voice" he listened for more.
"Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on. Once more you open the door and you're here in my heart and my heart will go on and on…"
He sighed as more of the sweet voice was heard to his ears then he started to quietly walk towards the sound, I have to know who the singer is.
"Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime and never let go till we're gone… Love was when I loved you, one true time I hold to, in my life we'll always go on… Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on. Once more you open the door and you're here in my heart and my heart will go on and on…"
Inuyasha was drawn closer and closer to the rocky cliff edge. I hope the girl isn't singing on the edge, it's really dangerous if you fall!
"You're here there's nothing I fear, and I know that my heart will go on, we'll stay forever this way, you are safe in my heart, and my heart will go on and on!"
There was a loud applause and he tripped over a low tree branch and fell on his face cursing loudly.
Kagome gasped from where she was sitting and she and all her mermaid friends looked to the source of the noise and when they saw a human struggling to get up they dived into the water and swam back down to the depth shouting a little in panic at the same time.
Inuyasha hear a lot of splashing and quickly got up to see if someone had fallen but the cove was deserted.
Well almost. Kagome had dived like the others but when she heard the word human she paused and swam back to a hiding place and looked up at the cliff to see the human.
Her eyes widened, he was… incredible. He had long silvery hair and a shirt that showed off his biceps, golden eyes that made the metal look cheep, tan skin and… what were those?
Kagome swam closer, still hidden to get a better view. Instead of a tail there were two stumpy things that held him up when he stood tall. They bent in the middle and he seemed alright with that… how strange.
He bent down and slid down the rocks to the place where she had been singing. He picked up something silver. Kagome put her hands to her face in horror. Oh no! My lyre! I left it!
The human picked it up and looked it over. He looked around and Kagome put her head all the way up to her eyes underwater.
"Hello? Who was singing?"
Kagome gasped, but luckily as her head was mostly under water she didn't make a sound. He heard me? I wonder if he liked it? She swam closer until she was right underneath the rock he was standing on.
She smiled up at him, hidden and with no intention on being seen.
Inuyasha sighed, he had scared her off. That was stupid "Hey, I only wanted to see the one who sings, I won't hurt you. Come out and sing again"
Kagome sighed, he did like my singing. She grabbed a rock and was about to swim out to meet him but then her mind screamed "This is madness, why do you think mermaids are so scared of humans? Because they kill us, how many times has Kikyo told you that?"
Inuyasha sighed and climbed back up to the cliff. Kagome watched him go, fascinated by the way his legs moved to get him higher on the rocks and by the way that he didn't fall over. Then she saw that he had her lyre!
Kagome shouted without thinking "Hey give that back!"
Inuyasha jumped at the female voice that sounded. "Who's there?"
Kagome hid again. "It doesn't matter, please give my lyre back, it's my birthday present!"
Inuyasha looked down at the lyre. He ran his fingers over it experimentally, the noise it made was beautiful. "This? Are you the one I heard singing?"
Kagome was getting frustrated. "It doesn't matter, please return that to me, or you'll be stealing"
Inuyasha looked for where the voice came from. "Where are you?"
Kagome hid herself better "It doesn't matter, give it back"
Inuyasha held it up the said "I can't give it back to you unless you get up here"
"I can't" Kagome said sadly, I don't have those weird stumps like you do. "I can't climb, throw it down to the sea, I'll find it"
Inuyasha looked as if he wasn't about to do it, then he took off his jacket and wrapped the silver instrument in the black leather. He swung his arm and it went sailing into the night sky and then it splashed into the water.
Kagome reached out and pulled it close to her. "Thank you!"
Inuyasha laughed and started to leave "You're welcome. Keep the jacket" he vanished into the jungle. Kagome opened up the jacket and saw her lyre, it wasn't broken and no jewels were missing. It was clearly very valuable, so why had he given it back?
She heard his voice and followed it along the shoreline until he came to a house with this friend. The house was far from the sea but clearly it was that boy's house. Inuyasha dragged his friend inside and put him on the sofa.
He sat down and thought about that girl's song. He got out his guitar and strung a few strings then softly played the tune of her melody. Kagome lay in the shallow water and listened. She closed her eyes dreamily and plucked the strings on her lyre. Their music was in perfect harmony and was stuck in her head all the way home.
"Kagome!" Kikyo swam up to her as soon as she was home and threw her arms around her "By Poseidon! Where have you been? I thought that the humans had you strung up in their nets!" Kikyo cried on her shoulder.
Kagome held her back. "I'm fine Kikyo, I just went back to get my lyre. I kinda forgot it when everyone was off swimming away…"
Kikyo smiled and leaned back then saw what her sister was wearing "Um…Kagome, you do know that you're wearing a human's jacket?"
Kagome had put it on when he had given it to her. She ran a hand over it. "What's wrong with that? I yelled at him to give the lyre back and he threw it down wrapped I this… I think he did that so it wouldn't get damaged…"
Kikyo stared "You spoke to him? Kagome, you idiot you let him see you?"
Kagome shook her head "I stayed hidden. He let me have this, he only wanted to know who was singing… I think he liked it"
Kikyo swam backwards to see her sister better "What's with you? You sound like you fancy this creature"
Kagome looked shocked as well. "I don't" I can't! Those creatures killed mum! She shook her head and sat down "Kikyo? What are those stumpy things they have instead of tails?"
Kikyo looked surprised "Legs… I think they are just weird. How can they move on them" she shivered "Freaky, well lights out in an hour. I'm sorry your birthday wasn't as good as you expected" Kagome smiled then shut her clam and pulled out her glowing crystals so she could stay awake and think.
She put a hand on her lyre and played the same strings that human did before she swam home. A small smile played at the corner of her lips before she fell asleep. I have to see him again…
Not exactly a perfect first meeting, eh? lol, trust me it gets better!
