The Shikon Pendant

Author's rant: I just had a crazy idea for a story today. So, here it is…

Chapter 1

It seemed like just yesterday. With the help of Sesshoumaru, they had killed Naraku. Sesshoumaru had explained to them that he really cared about InuYasha, so much that he couldn't allow other demons to know he cared. They could have used InuYasha to get to him. All the going after the Tetsusaiga had been a trick in order to see his brother, and to train him for future hardships. He forgave InuYasha for cutting off his arm, and was willing to help them kill Naraku. However, right before he was killed, Naraku had cursed Kagome. Kagome had been feeling terrible pains, and Kaede saw with her holy powers that Kagome's soul was being torn apart. The only way to save her was to send her back to her time…permanently.

Kagome managed to stay one more week. She spent all her time speaking with Totousai and Sesshoumaru though. The reason was revealed when she left. Totousai and Sesshoumaru had helped Kagome create a necklace with a Shikon no Tama piece pendant. The Shikon shard had been manipulated into a heart, and set into the diamond shaped pendant. Kagome had been placing her powers into it, and InuYasha could change between his hanyou and human forms at will. But she then had to leave. Before she left, InuYasha promised to find her in her time…

Present time, in Nerima, Tokyo

"Hey Ranma, did you here? We're getting a new history teacher." Ukyo said happily to her fiancé.

"Probably going to be another weirdo." Akane mumbled. Ranma shrugged and then was splashed by the old woman by the doctor's office. Ryouga laughed and started going the wrong way. Kuno quickly rescued his friend from turning into someone's breakfast as the old woman splashed Ryouga as well. A laughing Mousse pulled teakettles out of his robes.

It had been about a year since the wedding incident. Since then, few had come to Nerima. Kuno had admitted he knew about the Jusenkyo curses, but had chosen to chase Ranma and Akane to have some fun. All the martial artists had been challenged by Dr Tofu to jump a grade. Now all the martial artists were in their sophomore year together with Kuno and Nabiki. Dr Tofu and Kasumi had recently married, and they still hadn't returned from their honeymoon. With that, the grades of the martial artists had begun to slip again, and they didn't pay attention in class and sometimes got into trouble. But the teachers were afraid of the dubbed "Nerima Wreckers" and did not try to control them. But they all maintained B to C averages in their classes.

Kuno tugged absent-mindedly on his shirt collar. He had always complained about their uniforms, so he often continued to wear his kendo outfits. Just so happened, Kodachi had a slight explosion in her lab, so the mansion blew up. Kuno was currently staying with the Tendo family.

"Did I ever mention that I…" Kuno began to say.

"…really hate these uniforms?" Ryouga finished for him.

"Yep," said Ranma.

"About a million times already Kuno." Mousse smiled kindly at him. Kuno had helped him get contacts, so he didn't crash into obstacles and such anymore.

"Time to get your hair shaved brothers!" A cry was heard above them. Mousse reached into his robes, and took out a spatula, a pair of bonbori, a bokken, a mallet, a long pole that had a large orb at one end and a wide blade at the other, and a bunch of throwing knives. He threw the spatula to Ukyo, the bonbori to Shampoo, the mallet to Akane, the pole thing to Ryouga, and threw the knives at the insane principle. A couple seconds later, the Nerima Wreckers were in class, waiting for their new teacher.

"So, who do you think this guy will be like?" Ukyo asked.

"What if it's a gal, Ukyo, ever thought of that?" Akane sighed.

"Shampoo hope he no mean." Shampoo stated in her accented Japanese.

"Shampoo dear, don't you mean to say 'I hope he is not mean'?" Mousse offered hopefully.

"Shut up Mousse." Ryouga, Kuno and Ranma all grumbled. The doorknob turned slowly, and everybody stood up at attention. In came the teacher. He was taller than Ranma by an inch or so, and had long black hair, which he had tied in a loose ponytail, but some unruly bangs covered his eyes. Two large bunches of hair had escaped his ponytail, and were in front of his ears. He lifted his head, and revealed a pair of the most beautiful and kindest eyes. They were large and were violet colored. Around his neck, he had a diamond shaped gold pendant, with a diamond like item in the shape of a heart set into it. He gave a gentle smile to the students.

"Sit down please. I will be your history teacher." He gave another gentle smile and looked at every student. "Why do we have to learn history, you may ask. Well, I heard many of you take martial arts or sports. How many?" All the students raised their hands. He smiled warmly. "Well, you then already know that you are supposed to learn from your mistakes. After all, insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result each time. Studying history allows you to learn from other people's mistakes. That is why I enjoy history. If you don't enjoy it, then I have something to say to you." He narrowed his eyes threateningly at the yawning martial artists. "I CHALLENGE you to get an A." He reverted to a relaxed pose as he looked at the shocked expressions of the martial artists. "After all, you cannot back down from a challenge, can you?"



Author's Note: That was stupid…but oh well.
