~this is my first
fic so I hope you enjoy it! This is an AU and so everyone is human but Inuyasha
still has his silver hair (but no dog ears...*pouts*). And everyone is in college
so they’re around 22 or so. Also, the eye style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-bidi-font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>colours
mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> are from the manga so if you’ve only seen the anime
it’ll be a little different. And for those of you who don’t know any Japanese
at all, there are translations at the end of each chap. ENJOY!

As Inuyasha
"Comic Sans MS";color:black'>Tetsusaiga walked to the back of the school, he looked around to make sure no one
was following him. He wasn’t usually so paranoid, but his golden eyes were wary.
It was one of those December days where most people needed an extra layer of
clothes to stay warm, but he didn’t care. He never really cared about anything,
that was just his way. His shoes crunched into the snow, leaving a trail of
perfectly visible footprints. He looked around again, but all he could see was
white. It was actually kind of calming; the light snow gave everything a
peaceful glow and seemed to hide any form of darkness.
But Inuyasha was
in no mood to be peaceful. He had a purpose and his golden eyes narrowed. It
didn’t feel like he was alone but he couldn’t see anyone. The trees in the back
of the school could hide anything and everything. He searched the branches,
looking for some sign of movement but nothing happened. His long silver hair
was being blown about in the cold breeze and Inuyasha was continuously brushing
it out of his face.
‘I swear someone
is following me,’ Inuyasha said to himself and shook his head. ‘Nah...he isn’t
that much of a coward. I might just be paranoid, but my instincts have never
been wrong be.’ H.’ He continued to the designated place and saw no one. Putting
his hands in his jean pockets, Inuyasha cursed under his breath.
“Feh. He’s the
one who picked the spot and he can’t even show up on time.” He grumbled aloud.
The wind had started to pick up and the sky above looked like it was about to
open up and re-layer the city in snow. Inuyasha grumbled again. He was only
wearing a light jacket over his black t-shirt and jeans and he was starting to
regret not bringing anything warmer.
“Maybe I should
have worn an extra shirt. I wouldn’t want to freeze out here.” Inuyasha
shivered, “Oh yeah I can see it now ‘Human popsicle found at back of local
college’. Now that’s a laugh!” He grinned.
“Yeah, that would
be funny” Someone said from behind him. Inuyasha turned and found himself face
to face with him.
“Well, well, you
actually came.” Inuyasha mocked, looking him up and down. “Didn’t think you
were actually going to show.” Which was the truth. He may act all tough, but Inuyasha
knew he could beat him at pretty much everything. He was one of those men who
had everyone falling at his feet because of threats. Threats! Nothing else.
Inuyasha couldn’t remember ever really seeing him in a fight. But then again,
he was of no concern to Inuyasha, so he didn’t pay attention to his petty
brawls.
“I was the one
who invited you, remember? Why would I ask you to come out here and then not
show up?” He said, glaring. Inuyasha was surprised that his face wasn’t
permanently stuck that way. He did a lot of glaring at Inuyasha in class and
the silver haired man wondered if he did it to everyone.
“Feh, you’re not
all that tough you know.” The silver-haired man replied. “You probably did it
so you could say just that: that you did it. And then you’d make up some lie
about me not showing up so I’d be the coward.” Inuyasha had been half convinced
that that was what he really was going to do. And it would spread across the
school like wild fire that he was a coward. Not that he cared; Inuyasha couldn’t
care less what other people thought about him.
“You’re just mad
because I’m the one to call you out and not the other way around.” The man
said, laughing. Uh oh... He was laughing, that is never a good sign. Inuyasha
looked around cautiously and then took a step towards him.
“Whatever. Can we
just get this over with? This stupid little ‘fight’ of yours is taking up too
much of my precious time.” He grinned, getting into a fighting stance. He was
so ready to put this guy in his place, once and for all. This boy had
been a pain in Inuyasha’s ass since the day he set foot in this school. He was
an arrogant, loud-mouth bastard who never left him a.
~FLASHBACK~
mso-bidi-font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Inuyasha walked
into the class room with his best friend at his side. They were finally in
college, all of those extra credit classes in high school having paid off. When
he had first started high school, Inuyasha had been a typical jock and had
always cut class. He hadn’t started to get his act together until half way
through his second to last year. He had his best friend, Kagome Higurashi to
thank for that. She had told him she was going to go to college and that was
when he realised he wanted to follow her. So he had had to take some extra
courses in order to graduate.
“I can’t believe
we were able to get so many classes together.” His best friend said. She
flipped her raven hair and giggled. Inuyasha looked around the classroom and
nodded. They found two empty seats together and sat down. He was trying to see
if there was anyone else he knew in the class when someone pulled on his hair
from behind.
“What’s up with
your hair, man? Don’t you ever cut it?” He turned around and met the face of a
man about his age with long brown hair held up in a pony tail. His brilliant
blue eyes shone back at him and he sneered at him. “Jeez, it almost reaches
your ass. Makes you look like a fucking girl.” He started laughing and was soon
joined by a few other men around him. Inuyasha just rolled his eyes.
‘I thought I was
rid of these stupid pricks in high school.’ He thought to himself. That was one
of the reasons Inuyasha hated high school. It was all about popularity and
everyone was in their own little groups. It made him feel like he was
constantly being talked about behind his back.
“At least I don’t
tie it up in some dorky pony tail.” Inuyasha snickered and turned back around.
He didn’t have to look over his shoulder to know that the man was steamed, he
could feel the heat resonating behind him. He suddenly grabbed Inuyasha’s
shoulder and spun him around in his seat. He was just about to let the
silver-haired man have it when the teacher walked in.
“Alright
everyone, please take your seats while I take attendance.” An elderly woman was
standing at the front of the classroom, arranging some papers on her desk. She
was a short woman with grey hair that she tied into a bun at the back of her
head. Inuyasha’s first thought was that there was no way that this old granny
was going to be able to control a classroom of forty people in their late teens
and early twenties.
“Chikan-san,
would you please let go of Tetsusaiga-san
mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>? Or do I have to assume that your new found sexuality
can not be controlled?” She said calmly, causing the whole class to break out
into laughter. She was looking up at them and Inuyasha couldn’t help but notice
the amusement in her wrinkled features.
‘Guess that
answers my question.’ Inuyasha thought as ‘Chikan-san’ flushed and let
him go, mumbling something like “This isn’t over.”
‘Great.’ He
thought to himself. ‘I’ve only been in this place for five minutes and already
I’ve made an enemy.’ Inuyasha sighed and turned around to face the professor
whose name was apparently was Kaede.
~END FLASHBACK~
Inuyasha was
shaken out of his reverie by the sound of the other man’s laughter. That kind
of laughter was never met by a happy ending. It was the kind of laughter he was
used to hearing in a horror movie. Inuyasha wasn’t afraid of the man in front
of him, but he couldn’t help thinking that he wasn’t exactly safe. Something
had to have been set up and too many possibilities were running through
Inuyasha’s head.
“What’s so funny
dip-shit?” He was angry now. The man was up to something and Inuyasha was becoming
irritated. Patience had never been one of his virtues and most people thought
it was a flaw. Inuyasha would just blow them off, knowing that they were right
but not wanting to admit it just the same. Actually, it was mostly Kagome who
kept reminding him of this. She was always telling him how he needed to learn
to wait and to realise
mso-ansi-language:EN-US'> that he wasn’t always going to get his way.
“You.” He replied.
“You think I would waste my time fighting you? I know about your so-called
skills so I came prepared.” As he said this Inuyasha was grabbed from behind
and shoved to the ground. He looked over his shoulder to see two men holding
him from behind and three other men come out from behind some near by trees. He
cursed.
“You asshole! You
are such a coward, getting your damn underlings to do your dirty work. You’d
never fight me alone.” He kicked Inuyasha in the side. Now Inuyasha knew he
should have worn extra clothing, maybe it would have cushioned the blow.
“Shut up! I’ve
been waiting to do this for a long time.” He smiled and kicked Inuyasha again.
“They’re just here to make sure you don’t strain yourself moving while I beat
the living daylights out of you.”
“You’re so full
of shit.” The golden eyed man said. The other man crouched down in front of him
and pulled his head up by the hair. Their faces were only a few inches apart,
so Inuyasha did the only thing he could think of; he spat in his face. It was
returned with a face plant into the snow by one of his cronies.
“You bastard!” He
snarled. “If you’re lucky you won’t be conscious much longer. But that won’t
stop my fun.” With that Inuyasha was slammed into the ground again and then
brought up onto his feet.
‘He must be a lot
stronger than I thought,’ he thought cringing, ‘Because my side aches from
where he kicked me.’ Inuyasha then got punched in the face and thrust to the
ground. Inuyasha struggled to get to his feet but his arms would no longer hold
his body weight. He was fairly well built and so he was a bit heavier than
normal twenty-two year olds.
“Baka,” he
groaned “Why the fuck did you pick me up for if you were just going to put me
down again?” Inuyasha was then picked up for a second time and flung against a
tree. Pain shattered through his body and Inuyasha saw stars.
"Comic Sans MS"'>Colours swirled around
him and he couldn’t move. It must have been a full thirty seconds before things
started to come back into focus. Inuyasha heard the crunching of snow and
struggled to lift his head. The man came up to him and laughed in his face.
“Poor inu-kuro.”
He mocked. “You know, I’m getting two good things out of this.” Everything was
becoming a blur again and Inuyasha knew he wasn’t going to be conscious much
longer. He tried to get up but as soon as he put weight on his leg he fell back
down. He knew instantly that he had twisted something. Pain was shooting up and
down his whole body. He got punched in the face and tasted his own coppery
blood.
“One, I get the
satisfaction of doing to you what I’ve wanted to do since I met y He
He
grinned and punched him again. “And two, I’ll be able to have a nice private
talk with your little friend. It’ll be comforting to know that I will be able
to talk to her without you interfering. This time you won’t be able protect
her, like you always do.” At this Inuyasha saw red and kicked him in the shins.
“Kisama!” He
yelled, now furious. “You stay the fuck away from her!” Inuyasha punched him in
the chest but most of his strength was being used in keeping himself awake. The
man grabbed his bad leg and Inuyasha flinched. He fell back down on one knee
and grimaced. This was not going the way it was supposed to. Weren’t the bad
guys supposed to lose? If it was, why was he lying half dead in the snow, with
his enemy towering over him?
S'>
“And who’s going
to stop me?” The man asked. “It won’t be you. How can you protect her if you’re
dead?” He picked Inuyasha up and shoved him into another tree. The blurriness
was being replaced by pure darkness and Inuyasha knew this was it. And as he
sunk to the cold ground, one word escaped his lips.
“Kagome.”
