Married at 18
By: KNE
Chapter 1- First meetings-Bad Impressions
She was doing it again. She was falling asleep with her eyes open while looking through the camera lens. To tell the truth, Kagome preferred landscapes and scenery; not people or weddings…. especially weddings. People were too picky. The angle, the shots, the color, the blending…..nothing was ever perfect when it came to being the photographer of weddings. Kagome was only going to be a freshman at Tokyo University, yet she had been recommended to too many people….especially people who were engaged. At least she was making some kind of profit.
"Hey! You there! Take a picture of the children dancing!" An elderly woman with an uptight face pointed towards the pack of dancing kids and snapping Kagome back from dream land. Kagome pursed her lips together and lifted the camera to her eyes. The only thing that kept the wedding from being considered one of the most boring weddings Kagome had ever attended, were the children. At least they were doing something normal…..and smiling for real. The rest of the people in the ball room looked AND acted like selfish pigs. Considering the formality and hotel the reception was being held, the wedding had to belong to someone who owned more than just a pet shop. Ahhh, welcome to the world of the rich and beautiful, Kagome sighed and picked herself a glass of water on the table. She would never go there. Rich people came off as mean and arrogant. They never REALLY smiled. And judging by all the movies and dramas she had seen, they ALWAYS had hidden agendas.
Amazing how they even hired a rookie photographer like her. Kagome set the wine glass down and began moving towards the dance floor. The lucky bride had just returned from the back room, holding her bouquet of pink luxurious roses. Kagome glanced up at the front of the ballroom to see a man in a white tux walk up towards the microphone. The orchestra stopped playing and the room instantly quieted down. Kagome lifted her camera to her eye and began snapping away.
"Ladies and gentleman…. May I please have your attention! Congratulations to Emi and Kiato on their beautiful wedding. May they live a rich and prosperous life!" The room erupted into cheers and applause. Rich is a given…..Kagome quickly knelt down to get a better shot of the two couple. "Now for the moment you single women out there are waiting for! Please…all unmarried women come to the front. It's time for the bride to throw the bouquet!" In a flash, the room began to shake as the hundreds of young women stampeded to the front of the ball room, giggling and laughing all the while. Kagome could only step away to make room for them. She rolled her eyes. Even if it WAS tradition, Kagome found it pointless to believe in it. The woman who caught the bouquet was going to be the next in line to get married? Unless she was some sort of dreamer, it would never come true. Never.
"I know who I'm going to marry!" A young girl in a blue dress piped up, as she waved her hand in the air. "He's the most handsome man in the world!" The girl next to her whipped around and smiled.
"And who is that?"
"I'll give you a hint. His father owns the great Maple hotel chain." Kagome lowered her camera and practically snorted. Figures….another rich kid. A few curly haired heads whipped around to face the girl who had just given the statement.
"WHAT?! He would never give you the time of the day! Inuyasha Takashi could only like someone beautiful like me!" Another few heads turned.
"NO! He kissed me yesterday and said he loved me!" A new girl had entered the conversation.
"No way! He said he loved me last week!" The first girl argued back to the other girls who were now glaring dangerously at each other. Kagome could only secretly snicker. Sounded like a rich play boy to her. She shook her head and edged away from the violent looking girls. She had a job to do, and that wasn't eavesdropping on spoiled brats. The bride positioned her smiley self on the stage where the orchestra sat. She smiled, showing her perfectly bleached teeth and then turned around.
"On the count of three!" Kagome heard her shout, as she began snapping away at the bride's back.
"ONE!" The guests were beginning to count, and she could feel all the girls squirming around her. If only she was a bit taller.
"TWO!" Pushing and shoving was evolving, faster than ever. Kagome hastily began elbowing some girls to keep her from becoming a victim.
"THREE!" Kagome almost jumped from surprise as there was a sudden loud intake of breath from all the girls that surrounded her. The bouquet was in the air in an instant, flying and souring high above the females in the front row. In the millisecond that it took Kagome to see the bouquet, she knew right away that she was in danger.
"Oh…gosh…" She whispered as the bouquet plunged down into the mosh of girls.
It was like War World II all over again, except that this time, the soldiers were all teenage girls in strapless dresses and high heeled shoes. Screaming was definitely involved. Maybe even hair pulling. Kagome felt herself being shoved all over the place. The girls were suddenly piling themselves on top of each other. If Kagome's situation was less dangerous, she would have taken a few pictures to keep herself humor. But NO. Kagome was being pushed towards the pile itself. It was like a huge tsunami, sucking her in, and she couldn't get out. She was going to die a day before her eighteenth birthday.
Kagome was suddenly shoved onto the ground. "Oww…." She gasped as she felt her chest being poked at by something sharp. "Get off!" Kagome found herself, shouting.
"It's mine!" She heard a few hisses from around her.
"He's mine! He said he loved me!"
"Get off me!" Kagome found herself screaming. Slowly, she felt the weight on her get lighter. Finally… the last animal finally removed herself from Kagome's leg, giving Kagome room to breathe. Did somebody stop the wrestling match? Kagome sat up and rubbed her leg, and then reached for the camera. Hopefully the lens was alright. If they cracked, it would take months to save enough to buy a new one. The room was dead silent. Weird….shouldn't they be congratulating the lucky winner? Kagome lifted her head to look around, only to find all heads looking down at her. She hated attention. Especially attention from people she didn't know. Kagome quickly tried scrambling up until her hand brushed against a fresh leaf on the floor.
What the….. Her eyes traveled down to the bouquet that lied behind her. "Oh my god, no…" she whispered. Her head snapped again. She wasn't even part of the wedding……
"Who are you?" A girl stepped up from the pack of cows near the band stand. Kagome picked up the roses and stood up, dusting her black dress.
"I…I'm…"
"She's the photographer." The bride descended her way down the stage and smiled. Kagome could only bite her lip and hand the roses back to her.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…"
"Higurashi Kagome is it? Congratulations!" The bride (aka Emi) turned and faced her guests in the most polite manner.
"Please…everyone! A round of applause for Kagome Higurashi!" Another second ticked away as the people in the room just stared at the young girl in the plain black dress. And then the room erupted into cautious applause. Kagome could only nervously smile.
"I can't take this. It's not my place. You should do it over again…" Kagome attempted to get rid of the bouquet in her hands again. She turned to face the bride. "I don't deserve it…"
"Nonsense! The bouquet obviously came to you. You know what they say…..the person who gets it, is next in line to get married!" The bride flashed another darling smile, turned, and walked away. Kagome bit her tongue.
"And thank god it's not true…." Kagome muttered her words as she turned around and reached for another glass of water with the pink roses in her hands.
"Inuyasha! Why are you so stubborn! All I ask is from you is to cooperate for once with me!" Inutashio Takashi turned from his laptop to face his son. "Just go to the wedding, and shut up." The stubborn boy turned away from the window.
"I hate weddings! All of those fucking fakes can go to hell for all I care!"
"INUYASHA!"
"WHAT?!" Doing the opposite of what his father told him was the only thing Inuyasha did best in life. But he did NOT want to go some stupid random wedding. He had plans….and they were ruined. So much for beer and women….
"You are my son, and I will not have myself be humiliated again and again!"
"Then disown me for all I care! I don't want to go to the fucking wedding!!!"
"Inuyasha, don't speak like that to your father. He only asks once in a while for you to attend these things with him. Just listen to him and please go." The two raging men turned to face the woman in the corner of the limo who had been keeping quiet during the whole ride. She smiled and lifted her warm brown eyes, "Now be good…and no more fighting until after the reception."
"But Ma…"
"No buts Inuyasha; It's time to behave now and act your age." Inuyasha immediately ceased his complaining and crossed his arms over his chest in a huff. He never had the nerve to go against his mother. His father…definitely, but never his mother. Maybe because she was one of the few women that would ever understand him. Fuck this….The only thing he would be doing tonight would be running away from stupid brainless girls who he had probably fucked days ago. He didn't even know who was getting married. Some daughter of the Nippon Pet store chain….
The limo came to a stop, and the door opened for him. Inuyasha grunted and pushed passed the few employees that had surrounded the car.
"Where are we?" Inuyasha grumbled as he reached his mother's side. He received a glare from his father.
"We are at our own hotel, Inuyasha. Do you not know anything?" Inuyasha opened his mouth, ready for a comeback when he felt his mother's gloved hand on his arm.
"Not now dear, we don't have time for this. We're already late…" Inuyasha's mouth snapped close and he turned away from Inutashio. The family proceeded towards the grand ball room, as a few employees and hotel managers hurried to bow and greet their boss. Inuyasha could only roll his eyes as they reached the large maple doors.
"Inuyasha, fix your tie…" His mother politely said, without turning from the door.
"He should have worn a bow…."
"Will you shut up, Old Man!" The door opened, and the room was dead silent. Inuyasha clenched his teeth together. "Dammit, did they announce us?!" he hissed towards his mother.
"Keep still Inuyasha," He heard his mother say, not batting an eye. I'm screwed the moment the cameras stop flashing, Inuyasha licked his lips and did the worst thing he could ever do…..he smirked.
From the balcony, Kagome almost dropped her glass of water. Her hands flew up to her ears and she whipped towards the glass doors. What was that awful noise! It sounded like…..screeching! Screeching from girls…..a whole lot of them too. What else other than a flying bouquet could make then squeal so much? Kagome sighed and walked towards the door. She was practically done with her job. There was only a few more hours left, and some guests were even beginning to leave. There was no point in taking more pictures; plus she was on her break. It was Kagome time. Not.
Reaching for the golden door handle, Kagome could only think of all the work she had once she got home. She still had so much to do on her scrapbook before sending it in. The deadline was coming up, and she was still behind on it. Maybe she could use some pictures that she had taken from the wedding….Kagome pouted. But no…..her best work deprived from landscapes and scenery. She was much better at that, and she couldn't do anything tomorrow either! Her mother had some huge plans for her birthday…..
She jerked on the handle for the second time.
"No way…." Kagome instantly pulled on the door knob again. "No way…." And again. Her heart sped up. "Omigod….."
Her palm hit the glass pane hard. She backed away, scared that the delicate glass might break. She couldn't afford to pay for any broken doors from five star hotels. She could hear the music from below as well….no one would hear her.
"No! I'm such an idiot!" Kagome reached for the knob and began pulling on it again. It was helpless. She was locked out, on her own choice of getting fresh air. Backing up against the railing, Kagome held the wine glass high above her head.
"Here's to luck…" she whispered, bringing it down to her lips and taking a sip. She stared through the glass doors and sunk down to her bottom. "How bad can it get?"
"Inuyasha! How come you never called back?!" Inuyasha was trapped. Backed against the wall of his very own hotel.
"Uh…Mickey, right?" He raised an eyebrow at the girl in front of him.
"Mizuki!" At least he tried. The girl put an angry fist on her waist. He was beginning to feel like Miroku at the moment.
"Mizuki….that's right. How could I ever forget that face…" He reached one hand up and cupped her cheek. She looked a bit familiar. "….and those lips…" He leaned down, and grinned when he felt the girl push her body against him. He got out of that one fast. When he pulled away, he felt a sharp nail trail down his chest.
"I knew you loved me….Inuyasha-kun." If only you were half as smart as a rock….
"Excuse me babe, I'll go get us a drink…." Inuyasha leaned down again to place a small peck on her blushing cheek and then slipped away. "Stupid bitch…" he muttered, before disappearing behind another crowd of business people.
"Inuyasha!" A voice echoed through the room and he winced. He knew coming to the wedding was a bad idea. Quickly dodging behind a plant, he watched as a tall girl in a gold dress walked by, her head looking from side to side for him.
"Inuyasha-kun! You are so hott in that tux." Inuyasha smirked. Another wench to lead on. He slowly turned around to face a young girl. Maybe seventeen. Only three years younger…..illegal. Inuyasha snorted. To hell with that…she's hott.
"You think so? You're pretty sexy yourself…." He leaned forward and gently took a hold of her wrist. She giggled and leaned closer. If he got caught, he'll make some lame excuse about no knowing, since the girl was a size D-cup or larger.
"Wanna get a better look?" She gently pushed him out into a small hall. Her lips were suddenly on his, her hands roaming his body. Being a male….Inuyasha could only smile to himself. THIS was better than hanging around his father all day. Plus, he had escaped from Mickey….or was it Mizuki? How bad could it get?
"Sunday Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday Friday, Saturday. Sunday Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday Friday, Saturday….." That song would be a good school song to teach. Strange how a person who used seven words, mainly the days of the week, created a song used throughout the world.
"Probably a millionaire by now," Kagome whispered to herself. She cleared her throat and prepared to practice her singing.
"Down by the bay….where the watermelons grow. Back to my home…..I dare not goooooo…This is stupid!" Kagome slammed her head back against the cement and buried her face in her hands. Bored, cold, and locked out while on a job. No one would probably find her until morning. And she didn't have her cell either! Her mother would be furious with her, absolutely furious. Clearing her throat, Kagome straightened her head and stared back at the garden view in front of her.
"For if I do….My mother will say….."
She giggled as Inuyasha drew circles on the back of her pink pale dress. Lifting her head up, the girl sat down on the foot of the couch. "They were right when they said you were a good kisser," she reached for her purse and took out a small mirror. Inuyasha snorted.
"Damn right, I am." He reached a hand down to pull her in for another kiss, but she pulled away.
"I'm thirsty…Be right back. DON'T go anywhere…" The girl stood up, leaned down to kiss him again, and then disappeared around the corner leaving Inuyasha alone. He didn't even know her name.
"Shit, don't wanna go back…" he muttered as he headed towards the ball room, ignoring the girl's previous demand of not going anywhere. He froze when he saw that very same girl surrounded by three other girls. One happened to be Mizuki.
"We saw you with him! Where is he?!"
"You better have not touched him!"
"You whore!"
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. Being in the middle of a catfight was the last thing he wanted. Attracting attention, and then getting bullshitted by his father later on was definitely not on his 'to do' list. Quickly turning away from the small fight, he headed back towards the staircase he had seen earlier near the sofa. Escape routes were everywhere he needed them to be. Flying up the steps, he found himself on a balcony overlooking the ballroom.
"Cool…" he muttered quietly, and peered down below. He saw his father and mother chatting with the bride and her parents not to far away. They had probably been looking for him. "Sucks for them bitches…" he scowled and turned around to face a glass wall with and balcony. "Fresh air and a place to hide…" Reaching for the door handle, Inuyasha opened the door and stepped in…..the door shutting behind him.
"Don't close it!" A loud shout penetrated through the air leaving Inuyasha surprised, and then a girl attacked him. Actually, he found himself being pushed out of the way as the girl grabbed the door knob and jerked it a few times. "NO!"
Inuyasha blinked. He blinked again. Then he opened his mouth. "What the hell do you think you're doing bitch?"
She turned to look at him. And for the first time ever, he wished he had never spoken those words.
"What the hell do you think you're doing bitch?" The words had caught Kagome off guard. Completely off the charts to say the least. She was pissed….and tired, and definitely not in the mood to be called a bitch. She turned to look at him.
"Who the hell do you think you are, to call me a bitch? You're the reason why I'm still locked out!" She had turned her body to him completely now. She let her eyes wander a bit to examine her new found enemy. A boy, not much older than her and was wearing a black tux. Her eyes almost faltered when she caught sight of his hair. A shade almost white….but different. Like silver. His golden eyes widened.
"Locked out?!" It was his turn to jump forward and pushed her out of the way, making her stumble backwards in the rail. His hands reaching for the door handle as well. "No fucking way!" He kicked the door, jerked the handle, and kicked it again. The only reaction he received was the vibrating of the glass panels. He suddenly whipped around to face her. "You! Get me out of here NOW bitch!"
She sensed it the moment he walked in. A rich and arrogant bastard.
"Me? If I could do that, I wouldn't BE here!" She walked over to the door and then sharply turned her head. "And stop calling me a bitch!"
"Shut up wench, and just open the door. I have business to attend to…."
"And I don't? If you haven't used your brain and NOT close the door, you wouldn't be locked out, so stop blaming me, arrogant bastard." She had never encountered such a rude existing man in her life. Already she pitied anyone who had to do with him. "Unless you're willing to pay for hotel damages, we're not getting out of here any time soon." Kagome folded her arms across her chest. He only seethed. Then his eyes landed on the camera that hung around her neck.
"Gimme that…" He yelled jerking the strap.
"Ouch! Stop that!" She felt the strap break and her heart skipped a beat. "Give that back! What are you thinking?!" She yelled, fighting for her camera.
"Back off bitch! We need to break the glass!"
"Not with my camera, you're not!" Grabbing a chunk full of his hair, Kagome jerked it as hard as she can.
"OWW!" The man yelled, dropping the camera to the stone floor. "Bitch that hurt!" He quickly slapped her hands away and grabbed his sore head. Kagome yelped and fell to the floor.
"My camera…." She trailed off, as she searched for damages. He only stared down at her, one hand on his scalp.
"Buy a new one. What's more important, getting out? Or that worthless camera?" His words almost stung, but Kagome's head snapped up to face him.
"Not everyone is made up of money, like you!"
"I knew it! I smelled something from the sewer…."
"Why you….YOU are so incredibly rude!" Kagome staggered up. "I hate rich bastards like you who think they're too good for anything. You're NOTHING. You live off of your father's wealth, and I can insure you that you'll die with it ALONE!" She shoved him hard against the cement wall.
"Sticks and stones, bitch."
Kagome sent him another glare and she dropped down to her camera again. The lens was scratched. It would take at least two months to replace it. She was screwed.
-1 hour later
They had not said word to each other since the girl had supposedly told him off. Inuyasha took notice of her moping in the corner. They were getting no where, and he was sick and tired of breathing the same air as the wench in front of him. He only dreaded the amount of trouble he was going to get in the moment he got out. He basically missed the whole reception. His ass was on the line.
"Oi!" He roughly shouted loud enough for her to hear. Her response was to keep staring at the shit of equipment in her lap. Inuyasha closed his mouth and shook his head in disgust. It was a fucking two dollar camera to him. If she would just let him smash the glass with it, he could buy her a new one and everything would be take care of. But the stupid stubborn bitch…. "Oi! I'm talking to you!"
"What do you want…" she flatly answered, raising a lazy eye at him. He didn't like her. She was trouble and he didn't like they way he was being treated. She had no right to talk like that to him. She was nothing compared to him.
"Look. I have stuff to do."
"I don't care."
"My ass is on the line."
"Good."
"Will you just shut up and listen to me!" She turned her head away. "Okay, I'll make a deal with you. We'll use your camera to break the glass; and I promise I'll buy you a new one. One that you'll like more."
"No. No. and no. We're not using my camera!" Inuyasha made a fist and growled.
"Then bitch, tell me how the hell we're supposed to get out?" She turned her head to look at him straight in the eye. That's when he noticed her eyes were ice blue.
"I don't know. How about your head? Seems large and hard enough…."
"You WHORE!" He jumped up and stomped towards her. She didn't even bat an eye as she looked up at him.
"My name isn't WHORE, or is bitch or wench. It's Kagome. KA-GO-ME!"
"I don't care what your name is, bitch. I care about getting out of here and away from you!"
"At least we have one thing in common…" Dammit. He was screwed. His eyes trailed down to her as he panted angrily. He had never encountered a girl so….so…..Even Inuyasha couldn't think of the word for her. His eyes dropped down to look at her milky legs. Her smooth legs. Why did they look so nice? What was a girl like her doing with legs like those?
For a minute all thoughts were forgotten, until the girl noticed where his eyes were focused or….or trailing to. Inuyasha never stood a chance.
-1 hour later
Kagome hugged her knees and eyed the man dangerously. "Take a step closer and I'll make sure you'll never have kids!" He glared at her.
"You've already done that…bitch," he muttered.
"Suits you right, pervert!" The man snorted, and looked away.
"I would rather die then touch an ugly hag like you."
"Then go kill yourself!" Usually Kagome was kind, but this boy was asking for it every time he spoke. He already broke part of Kagome's camera. And then calling her a bitch…AND THEN STARING HER DOWN!! "You can go and play with all those skanks that you rich playboys date. If you must know, they only do it for your money."
Inuyasha knew.
"And they're brainless if you ask me. Girls like them, you'll never remember the next day."
Inuyasha knew.
"And what makes you think you're worth remembering, bitch," he shot out. She only glared at him.
"For one thing, you would never remember my name cuz your brain is even smaller than those skanks. The only thing you know how to do is seduce innocent girls. You're a lunatic." The thought made her shiver seeing that she was the one stuck on a balcony with him. "Second, I'm worth remembering because I'm probably the only girl that has ever kneed you hard enough to make you cry…."
"SHUT UP!" He pointed a nasty finger at her. "That was unfair!" Kagome laughed and shook her head.
"Well you shouldn't have been looking at me…."
"I already told you that you're ugly. And I don't want anything to do with you." Kagome waved her hand in the air ignoring his furious face.
"The feeling's mutual." He crossed his arms and looked away in a pout. Kagome giggled again. He almost looked cute. "You can mope all you want. We've been here together for the past two hours and we're still here. Get use to me."
"Just shut up will ya? You're giving me a fucking headache!" Kagome rolled her eyes and hugged her knees even tighter.
"Nope." She twirled a strand of hair around her finger and glanced up at him. "Let's play a game." His head snapped down towards her.
"What?"
"I'm bored. Let's play a game."
"No! Why?!" The man surely needed anger management.
"Because you're bored, and you want to." Kagome leaned her head back to run through all the mini games that she knew of.
"I don't want to!"
"Yes you do!"
"Says who?!"
"Says me!"
"NO!" He was such a child. Just give the guy a pacifier and he would probably shut up.
"How about 'I spy'?"
"NO! God dammit, listen to me wench! I'm not playing any of your stupid games!"
"I spy with my little eyes….something red." Kagome giggled at his red face. He had a short temper too.
"I'm not playing!!!!"
-1 hour later
"Your tie?" Kagome asked, poking his chest.
"Nope." Inuyasha said lazily.
"Umm…The sky?"
"That's dark blue."
"It's still blue!" Kagome argued, as she looked up at the dark midnight sky. It was late. And she had been playing the game for over an hour now. She sighed and lowered her head back down to face the silver haired dimwit. "I give up."
"Your eyes idiot! That was so obvious!"
"My eyes?! That's light blue!"
"It's still blue!" Inuyasha snorted as he turned away. He watched as she picked up her high heeled shoes and moved back to her original place in the corner of the balcony. "We're never getting outta here. I'm going to die, and you're going to be my only witness!" He moaned and grabbed his head.
"I didn't know rich people wanted the whole country at their deathbed," she replied, giving him an 'I don't pity you' look. He dropped his head and glared at her.
"Well now you know," he answered flatly.
She snorted and looked away, crossing her feet together. She was different from any girl that he had met before. If it was some other random girl, she would be all over him in a second, and maybe….just maybe the situation would be less worst then it already was.
"What are you thinking about? Women?" She ran a hand through her dark hair and leaned her head back again against the railing.
"What are you, a telepathic freak?"
"Typical man behavior," she snorted. "Figures that all you think about is women in your pants." Inuyasha wanted to strangle her. How did she know him so well? A stalker he presumed. Maybe this idea of being trapped was a set up. He smirked.
"I know you want a piece of me. Just admit it." She raised her head and stared at him in disgust.
"For your information, you're less attractive that you think." Inuyasha's jaw drop. THAT was the first time anyone had said that to him. ANYONE! Judging by his reaction, Kagome knew she had hit the vital point. He crawled over and grabbed her wrist.
"I dare you to say that again, bitch!" He lowered his face to hers and growled. She tried pulling her hand away from his grip, but winced. A bruise was definitely going to be there by morning.
"I said…"she looked up at him straight in the eye, "You are UGLY! Any woman smart enough would know you're nothing but a trash disguised in Gucci!"
"Bitch I'm going to…"
"What are you going to do, eh? Hit me? I'll sue you, you bastard if you touch me." She stopped struggling and looked up at him. He only stared at her.
"…and if I kiss you?" he whispered. Inuyasha saw the reaction in her eyes. And for the first time that night, he got the bitch to shut up.
"You wouldn't dare…." She hissed. He smirked and leaned in for the kill. And then the glass door opened.
Kagome rubbed her eyes as she placed the carton of eggs in front of her mother. Talk about being tired. Only two hours of sleep since she had gotten home last night. How she survived the night? Even she was clueless at that point.
"Ma, Sango's taking me shopping today. What time do you want me to be home?" Kagome asked, heading towards the dish cabinet.
"Be home by six. You still have to get ready." Kagome ran her fingers through her hair and glanced up at her mother.
"Get ready for what?"
"We're having dinner at an old friend's. We're celebrating your birthday there." Mrs. Higurashi began slicing the lettuce and glanced at her daughter warily.
"Alright then…" Kagome sighed and walked towards her room. Sango was on her way. She had to tell her best friend about the incident last night. Absolutely crazy and out of the world insane. Getting stuck on a balcony with a ruthless person like that man… He looked more like a criminal then someone who could waltz right into a five start hotel like the Maple Hotel. And the worst part was the end. When he had actually threatened to kiss her! To violate her! "That punk…" Kagome muttered, throwing on a fresh clean pair of jeans and sweatshirt. "If I ever meet him again, I'll give him a piece of my mind….."
"Kagome! Sango's here!" She heard her mother's voice echo through the halls. Her family lived in a small shrine near Tokyo city. Close enough to take the train anywhere. She had taken buses to school every day before graduated a few months ago. Now she was on her way to Tokyo University, unless of course she could finish her scrapbook in time.
"I'm coming!"
He loved it best when it was just him alone. The music blasting, the hood down, and of course…flooring it. It gave him time to think, unless the annoying ringing wouldn't stop. Inuyasha sighed, and lowered the volume of his stereo.
"What do you want?" Inuyasha quickly plugged it into his head phone.
"You sound happy to hear from me," the voice of his best friend spoke cheerfully; otherwise belonging to Miroku Houshin.
"Yeah….yeah…what do you want?"
"What are your plans for tonight?"
Inuyasha leaned back in his seat, and stopped at the stop light. "Dad's forcing me to stay home tonight. Something about dinner with some people….ditching of course." Inuyasha could almost feel his friend smiling like a fool.
"You rebel. Go. It might be important."
"Important my ass. Those things are a waste of my time. He's just trying to make my life like hell. The man practically had a fucking heart attack yelling at me last night." Inuyasha winced at the image of his father going crazy on him. Unfortunately his mother was there to make the save again.
"What happened last night?"
"I missed the whole wedding reception. And don't think I did it on purpose. I got locked out on the balcony for four hours before a maid walked in." He heard his friend chuckle lightly.
"To think….the great Inuyasha got locked out like an idiot. I almost wished I had a camera." Again Inuyasha winced. That word, 'camera,' was pissing him off.
"Why don't you shut up Ass…" Inuyasha shouted into the small head piece.
"Four hours and all alone? Damn, at least you could have gone to the party with me. You would have at least gotten laid." Inuyasha froze. He wasn't alone though. He had been trapped. Trapped with the worst person ever.
"Yeah, well guess what. There was someone with me too," Inuyasha said quietly, his eyes glancing from side to side.
"Oh really? Girl or guy?" Inuyasha clenched his teeth.
"Does it really matter?"
"Just trying to determine what kind of company you had last night. Girl or guy?"
"Girl."
"Ahh……..pretty?" Inuyasha nearly choked on his own saliva. Pretty was the last thing on his mind when it came to her. A total witch maybe….
"NO! And why does that matter anyways?"
"It doesn't. I'm just curious. So she was ugly?"
"And a total bitch." Miroku laughed again. Every girl Inuyasha met was considered a bitch. Inuyasha' vocabulary did not extend any further.
"Would I date her?" The question was purely innocent. But he heard the anger in Inuyasha's voice.
"You date every woman!"
"Meaning I would date her than? Tell me Inuyasha….is she less attractive then Suki?" Inuyasha began rubbing his temples. Typical Miroku. A pervert for life.
"Suki's a model, Miroku. What kind of dumb ass question is that?"
"Just answer the question, Inuyasha…." Miroku retaliated in a sing a song voice. He was determined to find out why Inuyasha seemed so worked up over this girl. Inuyasha on the other hand, found himself torn about on Miroku's question. Was that bitch last night less attractive then Suki?
"No. She's not any LESS attractive then Suki, but she wasn't model material, she was different from them…."Inuyasha found himself saying, almost sincerely. There was an awkward silence between him and Miroku. Suddenly the realization hit Inuyasha. Did I say that bitch was pretty????! "Never mind, she was hideous." Miroku chuckled lightly.
"I would like to meet this saint that has riled you up so much, Inuyasha." Only a few people in the world could ever make Inuyasha admit that a girl was even considered….pretty. And by all means, only a few girls were worth Inuyasha's time. One in particular….
"She kinda looks like her…."Inuyasha grumbled quietly, slowing his car at the stop sign.
"Maybe you'll see her again."
"Trust me. The girl looked like a beggar. I doubt I'll see her any time soon. Hopefully never." And if he ever did, he would probably commit suicide. They had gone their own way after the maid had opened the door for them. More like on them. She had screamed in surprise finding them in such a compromising position. Inuyasha's face was only millimeters from hers, and his body was basically hovering over her body as well. He was only doing it to scare her. But thank god, if he had proceeded any further, he would have probably never had good sex again. Certain body part and tissues had been on the line. And he almost jeopardized it just to piss the girl off. Crazy how she had made him so angry.
"I bet you will." Miroku's tiny voice perked up. "I bet she's the one you'll end up with."
"Say that again and I'll pummel you to the ground."
Kagome removed the straw from her mouth and glanced at Sango. Sango could only stare back at her with wide eyes.
"You made him cry?" Sango's concerned face was replaced by an exasperated look. "You made the poor man cry?"
"I would doubt that he was any where near a poor person. Please don't sympathize him Sango, I thought you were on my side." Kagome brought a hand to her waist.
"But maybe he wasn't looking at you like that. I've seen times when girls are mistaken…."
"Trust me on this. The man had wandering eyes!" The memory of him standing over her made Kagome fluster and mad. Even his eyes had violated her before his hands did. She pulled down her baseball cap even lower. "Thank god I'll never see him again."
"What makes you think that? I bet you'll meet him again by tomorrow," Sango chirped, but Kagome could only glare.
"For one thing, I don't even know his name. Second, there is no possibility that a rich boy like that would pop up in front of me. People wait a life time to meet someone famous. I unfortunately am not waiting or looking forward…."
"Oh admit it Kagome, you want to meet him again!" Kagome spun around to face her friend.
"The day I run into the jerk again is the day you fall in love with some perverted freak off the streets. And we both know that will never happen." Kagome continued to chew on her straw. Sango only shrugged as the two stopped and waited for the walk sign to flash near the crosswalk.
"You never know….." Sango glanced at her friend and laughed. She had never seen Kagome so worked up over a guy….over anyone for the matter. The last time Kagome had been so mad was when Souta had spilled orange juice all over one of her projects. And that was ages ago. "So has he called you?" Kagome stiffened and looked over at Sango.
"No. Not yet anyways…." Kagome's head turned to face the street again. Their conversation had made a complete 180 turn. "But I talked to him a couple of days ago. He says he's doing fine but he hates America like crazy. He only found one sushi bar…." Sango laughed.
"Typical Kouga…" The sign changed and the thousands of people pushed forward. "Should have called early to wish his girlfriend a happy birthday."
Kagome sighed. "We are not connected at the hip Sango…."
"KAGOME!" Sango's eyes widened as she saw the silver BMW speeding its way towards her best friend's blind side. Before Kagome could even recall what was happening, the loud screeching sound penetrated through the air, as the convertible halted centimeters away from Kagome's legs. Everyone turned to look at the scene, as Kagome's eyes widened….suddenly realizing that she had almost died, along with any other person that walked near her. She nearly fainted from shock. "Kagome! Are you alright?!" Sango quickly rushed in front of her friend, grabbing her hand.
"I'm fine…" Kagome muttered, glancing back at the car next to her. "I'm fine…..but what the hell is that driver THINKING?!" All anger entered Kagome's system as she turned to face the car. "What's wrong with you?! Didn't you see the red light?!" she shouted as the driver's side door opened. Sango bit her lip; they were definitely going to attract attention.
"Hey you! You almost killed me!" Kagome had tossed her straw aside and was marching up to the man that had gotten out of the vehicle. "You deserve a ticket!"
"It's your fault Bitch for not watching where you were going!" A familiar voice shouted back. Kagome froze. An all too familiar voice. Her jaw drop, her finger dropped, and his sunglasses dropped when he realized it too.
"YOU!!!"
Every person on the avenue, turned to look at them.
A/N- Um…..here's the beginning. Hope it's alright. I know I started a new chapter, but I'm still on writer's block for the others. Heartache's chapter is almost done, as for From Here to There; it's on a sort hiatus. I'm working on it though. This is just to keep my mind off of everything else. Don't be mad. I'm not sure how long this one will last, but I'm posting it up for now. If I get no reviews then I might not continue, since I'm not perfectly satisfied. But here's the beginning. The next chapter is when the drama unfolds; more like the plan actually. The story IS called Married at 18.
The next chapter: Future Plans-Worst Birthday ever
Please review and tell me what you guys think; if there should be changes or anything in the first chapter. Thanks!
