Chapter:Burn: Part 2
A/N: Ok, I've finally got it worked out, it took me a couple of days to work it out, but once I wrapped my brain around it, and the creative juices got to flowing. . . .This is really sad tho, I already have the end chapter written. . . .hehehe, now I just have to fill in the blanks. And Shaid, chill chicka! It really didn't upset me that much. . .because like you said, it wasn't a personal attack. Glad you like the changes though! Oh, and if anyone sees any typos that I miss, let me know please. Last week I spilt a friggin Full Throttle Energy Drink on my friggin keyboard, and now half the keys stick. I have a spare somewhere around here, I'm just too damned lazy to look for it. X3 So if you see random apostrophes popping up all over the place, that's why, every time I hit the "enter" button an apostrophe pops up! XD
Burn: Part 2
~At the Western Lands Tattoo Parlor~
Kagome was just finishing up a tattoo on one of her regulars, a wolf demon named Kouga.
Every time he came in he always requested "his tattoo artist".
She smirked to herself as she put the finishing touches on his latest tattoo.
He'd shown up this afternoon with his head shaved bald, and wanted a huge ass swirly design tattooed on his head.
As soon as she finished, she slapped the back of his head and laughed when he growled at the spontaneous 'love tap' she gave him.
"You know Kouga, pretty soon you are gonna run out of damned room for tattoo's. What are you gonna do then?" she asked him jokingly.
"Move on to piercings!" he replied.
"You know that I don't do piercings right?" she asked, "Ayame, does that. You know she has like the biggest crush on you!"
She'd been trying to push him into asking her friend out for the past couple of months, but he kept resisting.
"Aww, baby don't you love me anymore?" he said playfully.
She rolled her eyes at the comment, and replied sarcastically with, "You really are thick headed you know that? How many times do I have to tell you, no is no is no is no!"
"You know you love me, you want to date me, fuck me and marry me!" he said in a singsong voice.
"Don't make me sic Sesshoumaru on you again. . . .I hate to cause you pain, you're a good FRIEND and all, but I'll do it!" she said.
"I ain't scared of him. He's a freakin PUPPY for crying out loud" he exclaimed.
"That's not what you were screaming the last time he beat the shit outta you, ya know?" she said.
"Fine, fine I know when I'm not wanted," he said with a smile on his face.
He got up, paid her, and left.
She started cleaning up her privacy cubicle when Sesshoumaru stuck his head in, "Hey, Kagome! I have to go to this party thing tonight. Naraku has decided to start throwing some sort of "Devil's Night Ball", I need a date. What do you say?" he asked her.
"Why me? " she asked a little hesitantly, afraid that now her boss was trying to come onto her as well.
"No no no no no NO! It's not like that. He wants me to bring a sample of my work with me, and I figured this way I could kill two birds with one stone. Your tattoo is some of the best work I've ever done."
He said as he thought back to the day they had met. . . .
*Flashback*
He looked up at the door as soon as he heard it open.
A beautiful young woman was standing there looking around shyly.
"Can I help you with anything?" he asked.
"Umm, no I'm just looking." She replied quietly.
"Ok, just take your time and if you see anything you like, let me know." He said before returning to the paperwork he had been working on.
He watched her as she walked around and slowly looked at all the flash he had up on the walls.
He soon had a pair of well worn boots enter his field of vision. He looked back up at the girl standing in front of him and waited.
"Are these the only tattoos you can do?" she asked.
"Well, I can do a custom job for you, if you know what you want. It costs a little more, but I promise, I'll do my best to get it the way you want it." He said.
"How much more?" she asked.
"Depends on the size of the tattoo. Why don't you tell me what you are looking for, and then I can tell you how much." He replied.
"Ok, I want a pink pair of folded angel wings that will go from the top of my shoulder blades to right above the small of my back. Then I want to put my friend's name in the middle. His name was Inuyasha."
'Inuyasha! It couldn't be. . .no no, definitely not. . .' he thought to himself.
"Was?" he asked.
"Yes, was, he and his girlfriend were really good friends, but they died last year on Devil's Night. . . .They were murdered. . ." Her voice broke at the last words.
"Was his last name Taisho?" he asked her.
"Yes. . .wait a minute. . .how did you know that?" she asked him, astonished.
"He was my younger brother, I didn’t make it to the funeral, I had some business I had to tend to. You wouldn't happen to be Kagome would you?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?" she replied warily.
"He used to talk about you all the time." He said.
"Oh, Huh, ok, so how much will it cost me?" she asked.
"For you. . . .nothing, I was never able to be there for him like a brother should. Consider this repayment in his name. And don't argue with me, I won't have it any other way." He said.
"No no, let me pay you." She said.
"No, I can't take your money," he declared.
"I insist," she said.
"Ok, I will let you volunteer around the shop for a couple of days, how does that sound?" he said, "I could really use the help."
"Sounds good to me." She had said as she smiled at him.
She had ended up proving that she was a hard worker, and very intelligent as well so he decided to hire her.
She's been there ever since.
*End FB*
She smiled at him and said, "Sure, maybe a party is just the thing I need to help me forget about what day it is."
"Good, I'm closing the shop early today," he said, "I've already got everything shut down so as soon as you get done in here, go ahead and go home and get ready, I'll pick you up at about six o'clock. That give you enough time to get ready?"
"Ok, I may be a girl, but even I don't take five hours to get ready to go somewhere, smartass!" she replied hotly.
He snickered before he finally left to make his way back to his apartment.
It was located just down the street so he knew it wouldn't take him long to reach it.
He walked down the street, and thought about his brother.
He had a lot of regrets where his half-breed brother was concerned.
But, that was in the past, and he had decided to only look to the future.
You can't fix mistakes from the past, only learn from them and choose not to do them again.
As he neared his building, he noticed that he felt a strange, familiar aura emanating from his building.
When he entered the lobby, it only grew stronger.
He got in the elevator and went up to his floor.
As he walked to his apartment, he noticed that, oddly enough, the closer he got to his apartment, the stronger the feeling got.
He got out his keys and unlocked the door.
As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he saw a figure slumped on the floor of his kitchen, but conscious.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my apartment?" he growled out.
He heard a faint moan coming from the figure on the floor and stepped closer.
A look of shock crossed his face as he muttered,
"Inuyasha?"
A/N: I know, another short one. I just didn't have time to write a lot today! Next one will be longer, PROMISE!!
