By the Bay : Chapter 1 : The End
There are a few things you need to know (or at least might want to) before reading this fic. 1. Inuyasha is not a demon, and his physical appearance is that of his human form in the anime. 2. Some of the places I describe in this fic are real, some are not, it's up to you to figure it out. 3. there will be a lemon or two later in the fic, I ahven't really made a plan yet so I'm not sure how much later is later. 4. OOOO = beginning and end of chapter, >>>>>>> = past/present change, ++++ = point of view change, and ------- = time change
Enjoy!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
“Hi there, thanks again for letting me interview you guys.” The portly man set down his legal pad on the table in front of his belly, clutching the ball point pen as he held the thumb of the opposite hand on a very worn-out recorder.
“Any time Vern, it’s our pleasure. It’s not every day you get to share a story like ours with the world is it? Or at least…you know…the city.” Unlike the journalist across from him, this man was built as a prime example of physical perfection with a certain uniqueness about his features that set him apart from the rest. The couple gently clasped their hands and interlaced their fingers together, fidgeting from their mutual nervousness.
“True. Then let’s get started shall we? So, how did you two meet?” A soft, sweet, yet oddly bitter smile overcame them both, and the girl spoke.
“Well, it was the first day of summer, June 21, and I went for a jog along Crissy Field, and Inuyasha was…”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“C’mon babe, just one little ride? It’ll be fun, I promise, we’ll go around Alcatraz, get the best view of the bridge this city has to offer…please?”
“I can’t believe this was your big surprise Inuyasha! Tell me, what makes you think I want to risk capsizing on that rotting boat of yours while trying to find romance in a view of a rocky island prison and some bright orange steel structure that I drive across every time I come here to see you? Hmmm?”
“Well, I really like sailing, and I just thought you might want to try it for once, for me.”
“Absolutely not.” The couple kept walking along the path in silence, awkward only for one.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
‘In, out, in, out, in…C’mon Kagome, just breath don’t think about it, don’t think about yesterday, in, out, in, out…’
“Aaaugh!” ‘FUCK!!’ Her running came to a halt. The red plastic water bottle she once held sloshed to the black pavement as she abruptly bent over, hands resting on the top of her tanned knees.
“Oh, ummm, here you go."
The woman dragged her upper body to a suitable position and looked the gentleman in the eyes. In a raspy, out-of-breath voice she softly spoke as she stretched out her arm, “Thanks.” Their fingers lightly interlaced. “Must’ve lost my grip.”
“Have a good one.” The young man said as he casually waved behind his back at her.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
“Inuyasha!! Were you flirting with that sweaty girl!?” Their hands broke apart.
“What? NO! I was just handing her that w-”
“Forget it. I’m going home.”
“What?” Honestly confused, Inuyasha stood there in bafflement as his girlfriend headed in the other direction. “Kikyo!!”
“Happy Birthday Inuyasha.” It was a bitter tone, not happy at all, spoken to the man left staring at her back, as she faced the path in front of her.
-----------------------------------------------The next day---------------------------------------------
A fist slams down on the office desk in front of its owner. “Pisses me off! I try to be all romantic for a change and do something special for her on my own god damned birthday and she blows me off! I didn’t even introduce myself to that girl let alone flirt with her!”
“Did it ever occur to you that you might just not be a romantic guy?”
“Shut up Sango this isn’t funny!!” He roared in true anger.
In equal rage, Sango back-lashed. “Hey buddy! Don’t bite my head off just because your girlfriend’s a bitch okay!” A snap like that would bring anyone back to earth, and slowly Inuyasha began to recover. With a loud sigh, she began to speak in a normal tone. “Look Inuyasha, you already know how I feel about Kikyo, so you can already guess what my advice to you would be at this point.”
“But Sango, you don’t understand, I can’t just leave her, if I did, that would make the past two years of my life a total waste.” His head was now buried in his folded arms strewn on the desk.
Sango outreached a maternal hand to his head and gently stroked the raven black hair before her. “Yeah it would, but would you rather waste the rest of your life with her, or live it knowing that those two years were just another bump in the road to getting there.”
“Getting where Sango. Maybe this is as far as I go.”
“Or maybe it’s not. The way I see it, you can either end everything by not ending it, or you can start everything else by ending it. Every end has a beginning that follows it Inuyasha.”
“Sangooooo, you’re so confusing.”
“Write it down asshole, you’ll get it one day or another.” She playfully slapped his head, still half-buried in his well-tailored business suit. “Now get out of my office, I have work to do.”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Furiously typing away at her cubicle’s computer, Kagome barely noticed the blinking red light on her phone. She slammed in the button as she picked up the crème colored phone. “Yes?”
“Ms. Higurashi? Mr. Houshi would like to see you in his office immediately.”
“Thank You. I’ll be right there.”
“And one more thing Ms. Higurashi, he says to bring him a cup of coffee.” There was no need for a formal good bye, no time, she was too busy making that bastard’s cup of coffee, too bad they were friends first or she would’ve slapped him for giving her his secretary’s job, but its not like she hasn’t before, it was just for a different reason.
“You’re such an ass Miroku you know that?” She set the paper cup of light brown liquid on his desk.
“And you have a nice ass, did you know that?” He playfully questioned back.
She chuckled. “My God we need to get you a girlfriend so you stop picking on me all the time.”
“Fat chance. And speaking of significant others, how’re you and Kouga doing?” Tears began to well in Kagome’s eyes and her bottom lip started to quiver. “Oh baby, I’m sorry, tell me what happened.”
“He just, he just dumped me. Out of the blue. Said he was getting bored. You’d think that after all he did to get me he’d stick around for a little more than three months, but I guess it really is all about the chase isn’t it?” Miroku was now hugging Kagome as she gently spoke into his chest.
“Its okay Kagome, everything’s going to be alright.”
Kagome was now officially a mess. She was crying, sniffling, and mascara-running onto her boss’s shirt. Attempting to pull herself together, she stood up straight and “Sorry about your shirt. I’ll buy you a new one.”
“It’s okay, I’ll just take it out of your paycheck.”
“Heyyy.”
“Kidding, Kidding.”
“Oh Miroku, what am I going to do? I feel like crap and I’m just…so confused.”
“Well, first things first, you’re taking the day off. Mondays are bad enough as they are. I expect you to splurge on lunch, and that includes a piece of chocolate cake, and then quaff for the rest of the day.”
“Thanks Miroku, I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
“Well Kags, I think you’d pretty much just about die.”
She chuckled and gave one last hug to Miroku and exited, fully intent on eating not just one piece of chocolate cake, but the whole damn thing.
She walked about five blocks to her favorite little deli hidden in the cracks of San Fran. Along the way she enjoyed the odors and sights of her city, the distinct clack of her shoes against the sidewalk, and felt comforted amongst the steel and cement walls. The brass bell cheerily rang as she opened the glass door to Marco’s Deli and sat in the corner red booth. After ordering her chicken sandwich and fountain root beer, that little brass bell sang its song once again.
