kristenskAugh! It's been too long since I did something for Inuyasha. So, here's a random little drabble set in one of those alternate universes where the Inuyasha cast all lives in modern times. There's no explanation for it beyond that pieces of the dialogue popped into my head one day.
Numbers
Inuyasha pulled his hat down tightly as he entered the crowded bar. Loud voices pelted his ears, and smoke burned his nose. This had better be worth it. Searching the room, he spied his informant. The man was hard to miss, waving like that. Scowling, Inuyasha shouldered his way through the crowd and slid into the unoccupied half of the booth.
“So, did you get me a number, monk?” he growled without preamble.
Miroku grinned slyly. “I got all the numbers.” He waved a piece of paper. “Except the lovely Mariko’s.” His free hand gestured across the bar. “She’s playing hard to get.”
Inuyasha chanced a glance behind him. Apparently, Mariko played hard to get with a handgun. He turned back to Miroku, snarling.
“I don’t care about the waitresses’ numbers! I need that contact!”
“Relax.” Miroku thrust another paper at him. “I found one for you too. Name’s Kagome.”

Notes: Inspired by Mustang's habit of codenaming everyone with women's names in the Fullmetal Alchemist manga/Brotherhood anime. Reading the manga, it just popped into my head, "Miroku would totally do that!"
