Chapter one. They Meet
I have some writer’s block, so I’m just gonna write and hope for the best. Maybe writing out a random short story will help me find my motivation to finish my updates for my other two stories… I know this story will different. It’s something that I’m actually really nervous to post because I don’t think anyone will like it. It’s not something I’m writing because I think it will turn out well; it’s something I’m writing because I NEED to. I need someone else to feel this story, to hear it, to know it. Reviews would be beautiful, but if I don’t receive any, I’d understand.
Do you Still Believe in Love?
Chapter one. They meet
Kagome grabbed her car keys and gave a fleeting glance towards the mirror. She was wearing baggy sweatpants that hung loosely on her hipbones and a bleach-stained Coheed and Cambria t-shirt. Her hair was haphazardly pulled into a high ponytail; strands hung down to messily frame her face. ‘Eh, I’m just going to see Inuyasha; he’s seen me look worse,’ she though as she hurried out the door.
Kagome and Inuyasha had been best friends since they met. They took care of each other. They had tried a relationship in the beginning but realized that they were much better off as friends. So, when he called her and told her to come over, she grabbed her stuff and left as soon as she could.
She was driving down the familiar windy road from her house when her phone went off.
“Hey, what’s up?” She answered, seeing the familiar name on her screen.
“Hey Kags. Are you already on your way here?”
“Yeah, why? Do you need me to pick something up?”
“No, that’s not it. I just thought I should let you know that Bankotsu is over here.”
“That guy you talk about? The one you went to school with? That’s fine. I look pretty rough, but it’s no biggie. I’ll be there soon”
Bankostu. It would be interesting to meet him. She’d heard about him from Inuyasha, but never met him. As far as she knew, they’d been friends since they were children and gone through high school together. She also thought she remembered Inuyasha telling her that Bankotsu had recently gotten out of a relationship…with a guy. ‘I love new gay friends. They’re so great, they’ll never judge and always think I’m pretty even when my makeup’s a mess’ Kagome thought happily as drove the familiar roads to Inuyasha’s house.
When she arrived, she let herself in and plopped on the couch next to Inuyasha. “Where’s your friend?”
“oh, he’s in the guest room playing Halo. Wanna meet him?”
Kagome that ‘what do you think’ look and they laughed. Of course Kagome wanted to meet him, she loved making new friends.
“I’ve gotta run to the store anyways, so I’ll introduce you guys and let y’all talk while I’m gone” He said as he reached towards the door knob.
Kagome followed him in and looked at the boy sitting on the futon. He was gorgeous. Inuyasha didn’t mention that he was gorgeous. ‘gosh, get a hold on yourself. He’s gay.’ She mentally chastised herself. After short introductions, Inuyasha left the pair to an awkward silence. Kagome looked around, grasping for something to talk about. She noticed his pack of Newport 100’s sitting next to him and retrieved her Marlboro Menthols from her bag next to her.
“Smoke break?”
He smiled, and she knew she wanted to see it again. “Yeah, sure”
They walked outside and sat quietly on the porch, both staring out at the sky. After a few moments, Kagome knew she had to say something, anything.
“Soooo… What’s your favourite colour?”
“That’s amazing!” He laughed, “I was just about to ask you the same thing…. Mine’s green. How ‘bout you?” He smirked and winked at her.
“Oh, Mine’s purple.”
“I hate purple.”
“Well then, I guess that’s why it’s my favourite and not yours, huh?”
They smiled and it was then that Kagome knew, more than anything, she wanted to know Bankotsu. She wanted to understand him. She’d never felt something so strongly as the pull to learn what made him smile, or laugh, or cry. She just knew that she would be an awkward piece of furniture in his life, and she’d be content at that. They made small talk for a while, learning that they had a lot in common. Both had cats named Bouyo, their mother’s shared the same first name, they both had a passion for music, and they were both vegetarians. It barely seemed like time had passed when Inuyasha returned with sodas for the trio.
They sat down to a game of Halo; the boys laughing every time Kagome cursed her demise. “Oh, FUCK” she shouted as Bankotsu no-scoped her to finish out the game.
“Hey, now Kags, that’s some strong language for an innocent little girl like you” Inuyasha teased
“Oh, what-fucking-ever. I’m gonna make a TacoBell run, anyone one wanna ride with? Food’s on me.” Kagome would always pay for food if someone would ride with her, she hated going anywhere alone.
Both guys agreed and followed her out to her Honda Accord. Bankotsu tossed Kagome a quick wink and a smirk, “I call shot gun”. Kagome couldn’t have stopped the smile from creeping on her face even if she wanted to.
It was a rather uneventful ride to TacoBell, but the ride back was a little different. Inuyasha made a joke about Kagome’s driving and she went off in a slur of expletives.
“Jeez, Kags, chill okay? I was just kidding. God, you need to get laid. I swear, you’ll calm down so much after you get some dick in ya,” Inuyasha stated it like he was talking about the weather and not about his best friend’s virginity.
Bankotsu caught on fast, “Woah, wait. You’re a virgin? No-fucking-way. I don’t believe it.”
“Yeah, yeah. I’m nineteen and a virgin. Let’s sound the alarms, it’s a catastrophe” Kagome knew this conversation well, and knew she just had to go through the motions until Inuyasha lost interest in the subject matter. She just wondered how much of her business was going to be revealed to Bankotsu before the conversation was over; she’d only known him for a few hours and here’s her best friend rambling about her sex life- or lack of, to be exact.
“It’s sad, ain’t it? And don’t get me wrong Ban, I’m not saying that no one will fuck her. I mean, look at her! She’s cute as fuck, and she knows it. She’s just weird about the whole thing. She’s never even been kissed properly! I mean, she and I have been close friends for a while now, so no one would look down on us or blame us if we fucked, but we’re not like that. It would make things weird for us.” Inuyasha paused for a moment and Kagome prayed he’d finished. She was already blushing as red as a tomato; she didn’t know how much more she could take. She just tried to keep her eyes forward on the road and ignored the peanut gallery. But he continued, “I mean, hell, maybe y’all could fuck. She really needs to chill, I think it would level her out.”
At this, Kagome laughed, “oh yeah, like he’d fuck me. I don’t have a dick.” When the car got quiet, Kagome was a little confused. She’d expected them to laugh or something.
“Ummm. I’m not gay.” Bankotsu broke the silence, “Why’d you think I was gay?”
“Inuyasha said you were…”
“Yeah man. Weren’t you with that tranny-looking guy? What was his name? Jankotsu?”
“I date one guy and suddenly I’m gay?” Bankotsu laughed, “Maybe I just believe that love is love” he glanced over at Kagome, “But no, I’m definitely not gay.”
The remainder of the drive was spent in silence. Kagome was too lost in thought to even attempt conversation.
Once they arrived back to the small house Inuyasha owned, Kagome grabbed her cigarettes and said she was gonna take a walk. “I’ll be in to eat in a minute” she shouted back to Inuyasha as they closed the front door.
Once she rounded the corner, she was on her phone.
“Hey, what’s up?”
“Sango. Inuyasha has a friend in town. He’s super cute and we’re both vegetarians….” Kagome went on a rambling spree about the boy she’d just met. Once she calmed down she said “I’ll call you later to tell you more, I better head inside before Inuyasha thinks I got raped or something. You know he doesn’t live in the greatest part of town….” They laughed and said their goodbyes, and Kagome scurried back around the road to Inuyasha’s house. He didn’t live in the ghetto. It wasn’t that it was REALLY that dangerous, it was just a far cry from the gated community that Kagome lived in. She stood on the porch for a minute, preparing herself; she remembered the flutter in her chest when Bankotsu winked at her. She’d decided. She’d known him for less than a day, and she’d decided. She wanted him. He was tall and his 6’3” frame loomed over her petite 5’ one, but she wasn’t intimidated in the least; he was completely endearing- like a giant teddy bear. ‘A really sexy teddy bear’ her mind amended. Kagome wanted to be his. But, she knew he was only visiting. If he stayed, she would hope they could be together… ‘and maybe even if he’s not staying, I can finally get laid’. Kagome shook her head as she reached for the door knob, she’d been hanging out around Inuyasha for far too long….
AN: I'll probably update this one in quick succession.
