A/N: HEY ALL! Well, I was thinking of this sotry when...I dont remember cause I had this done like five years ago! (not literally...) LOL
Disclaimer: I dont own Inuyasha and his friends, I only own his mansion. I also dont own a lamborghini. Let's all aww in unision! AWWW!!!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
War Between Spirits
(Dream State)
He was floating in a supposed black abyss, no floor, no ceiling, no nothing. He was completely alone; no asshole of a brother, no caring mother, no annoying but loving friends, not even one sign of life. It was relaxing from his "hectic" life, but a bit frightening. He opened his molten golden eyes and looked at his surroundings. Why was he here? What was the purpose of this dream?
"What the hell does this have to do with anything?" Inuyasha asked himself. He pulled his legs into an Indian position since there was seemingly no gravity to pull him down. His long, silver hair flowed around him making him look like a god.
Inuyasha waited in the black abyss for what seemed like hours but have only been minutes. Nothing showed up, there was nothing to stare at, and he suddenly wished that he were awake instead of asleep.
"Well, atleast it's better than having that dream about ponies..." Inuyasha shuddered at the memory. No need to remind himself.
Finally a figure started to appear walking towards him. Inuyasha could see bits of red, some silver, and glowing golden amber eyes, just like his. The figure walked closer to him, giving Inuyasha a better look at who was coming near him. What he saw shocked him.
"Whoah, wait a minute! Is that supposed to be...me? Ah hell..."
The figure indeed looked exactly like Inuyasha excpet for the fact that one of them was wearing ancient garb complete with a blood red haori and matching hakama and the other was wearing modern garb, specifically black sweat pants and a blood red wife beafer. The two Inuyasha's stared at each other for a moment until the one wearing the ancient garb spoke gruffly.
"Let's get this over with. I'm Inuyasha and you're Inuyasha. I am the real Inuyasha from 500 years ago, you're past life. You're my reincarnation, Inuyasha, from 500 years in the future, got it?" The past Inuyasha informed with a roll of his eyes. The present Inuyasha just stared at him incredulosuly, unmoving and just...staring.
"So...why are you here in my dreams? If I'm your "reincarnation", aren't you supposed to be dead then? Or are you a spirit seeking revenge or some shit like that?" Modern Inuyasha in return asked, smirking to himself at what his preincarnation had just stated.. This had to be the weirdest dream ever.
"Argh, you could say that again! I'm not a spirit seeking revenge...keh, not fully, I'm a spirit trying to end something that was supposed to end years ago, but didn't. Look, 500 years ago, most of my companions were killed by an evil half demon named Naraku. As a result, the Shikon no Tama, you should know what that is, was never purified by the rightful miko."
"But before Naraku could get it in his greedy hands, the Shikon no Tama seperated into four parts, four souls and was reborn into my and my friend's reincarnations." Modern Inuyasha merely nodded, not believing a single thing that was just said to him.
"Yeah, and why did the jewel seperate itself?"
"That I dont know. My friend's and I believe it was because after Naraku killed our loved ones, their deaths and the torture Naraku put us through was a heavy blow on us, so we ended up killing ourselves. The Shikon no Tama must have reacted to that, since its guardians, Kagome and I, were dead."
"Keh, wow, sad story. You let her die, cool."
"Shut it. You dont understand what he did to us. You dont understand how it felt to loose your mate. You dont understand how it felt to not know the cause of her death." The past Inuyasha glared coldly at the modern Inuyasha who just gulped and nodded. Touchy subject and should not be touched...for now though...
Past Inuyasha just sighed and looked away. "I dont have much time, I just figured out how to control your dreams. All I'm asking you to do is to find your key before someone on Naraku's side does. The keys are girls around your age that have the ability to awaken one of the souls of the Shikon no Tama. My spirit is one of them and your friends and your brother are too. We need them to end this damn war so hurry. Just find one of them and leave the rest to the others. Oh and just a hint, the keys are my female companions' reincarnations."
"Eh what? There's too many reincarnations! I'm supposed to find a girl? How will I know its her?"
"You'll feel a jolt if you two touch. Very simple dimwit."
"I'm not a dimwit, asshole!"
"If you're calling me an asshole, your calling yourself an asshole." That was enough to shut Modern Inuyasha up, even though the same went for Past Inuyasha.
"Whatever, how am I supposed to know which is which?" Modern Inuyasha shook his head. Past Inuyasha growled and refrained from plumeting his reincarnation.
"Damn it! You'll be able to sense their spritual powers. One is a miko, one's a demon slayer, one's a fire neko demon, and the other's a spearsmaster. Choose the miko. I have to go now, if you ever need me, my soul is inside of you." Past Inuyasha said and started to walk away.
"No wait! I need you now! What the hell am I supposed to do! Why the hell am I doing this! And why the hell am I talking to myself?" Modern Inuyasha said realizing that the other Inuyasha had left. Now he was alone again. But suddenly he heard a beeping noise. It kept getting louder and Inuyasha wondered what it was. Then...
(Out of Dream State)
Inuyasha bolted up into a sitting position on his red sheeted king sized bed. He noticed that it was his black digital alarm clock that was beeping, signaling it was time to get ready for the second day of school, Class Day.
Oh boy...
"That was the weirdest dream that I've ever had in my life, it even beats the pony one! Was it even real? Had to have been, better tell mom." Inuyasha sighed and turned off his alarm clock, still a little groggy. He was still extremly tired but he had to go to school. It was either that or face the wrath of his mother. He shuddered at the thought and immediately got out of bed and into the bathroom.
-XxX-
"Now you two be good boys in school, alright!" A beautiful and elegant woman in her mid thirties, Izayoi, called to her two sons. Her youngest, Inuyasha, only sighed, rolling his eyes, and her oldest one, Sesshoumaru, just stared at her.
Sesshoumaru was not really her blood son, more like her step son. But she still loved him nonetheless, and she knew that he at least tolerated her essence. He might have looked like his father with the long cascading silver hair and the round slittled golden honey eyes, not to mention his purple markings, but his attitude was completely different.
"Mom, we're not in kindergarten anymore." Inuyasha said grabbing his bookbag. Izayoi shrugged and smiled.
"Remember, we have to talk later on about those dreams you both had so come straight home after practice. And if you see Miroku and Shippo tell them I need to talk to them too." She said to both of her sons in a serious motherly tone. Inuyasha was a little taken aback but shrugged it off and nodded. His mother was hardly the one to be serious, but when she was...it was serious.
Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru waved good bye to their mother, well Inuyasha did, and walked towards their new cars that they had received over the summer vacation. Inuyasha's car was a dark silver lamborghini Murcièlago LP640 convertable and Sesshoumaru's was an entirely black lamborghini Gallardo convertable. Once they made sure everything was in place and the engine was fired up, they both sped out of the mansion's grounds and towards their highschool, Umi Tama High.
The two boys were indeed rich. Even though their father had died mysteriously when they were younger, he had left them a whole fortune. Not to mention he left both his sons his company, Takahashi Empire, but that was only if they wanted to run it. Right now, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru only wanted to get through high school.
Once they were there, the brothers parked in the student section of the high school parking lot and stood infront of the high school. The two brothers looked at each other before they started to walk towards the entrance.
"Fuck, another boring year of this damn school. You're lucky, you only got one year left." Inuyasha cursed. Sesshoumaru nodded his head but didn't reply other wise. Not that Inuyasha would have expected anything different from his asshole of a brother.
"You had a dream too?" Inuyasha normally wouldn't talk to his brother, but this was important. He needed to know if his dream was something more than it seemed. So far, it was.
Sesshoumaru's reply was only a curt nod. "Remember what I told you."
"Yeah I know, I stay the hell out of your way and you'll stay the hell out of mine."
"Good whelp. You get a biscuit." Inuyasha only growled at the smirking demon next to him before going their seperate ways. Inuyasha was a junior so he had his classes on the third and fourth floors, unlike Sesshoumaru who was a senior and had his classes on the fourth and fifth floors.
On his way to his first period class, which was that dreaded Advanced Placement Trigonometry, he didn't know why he was placed in AP classes, Inuyasha saw one of the popular girls in the school. He couldn't deny that she was a beautiful girl. She had long raven tresses, big chocolate brown eyes, and the longest, creamiest legs that he had ever seen. To him, she was a goddess. Too bad she wasn't single. And too bad she had forgotten everything that they had shared.
Also too bad she was a popular and like all the populars, they didn't hang with the outcasts. Which was what Inuyasha was, to his misfortune. Didn't matter if he was Sesshoumaru's brother, since Sesshoumaru was a popular, not like them though, or even if he was a rich kid, he was still a hanyou.
A half breed.
An outcast.
-XxX-
Kagome was on her way to Advanced Chemistry. God how she hated that class! Well it was a class that every popular hated, it was so damn boring. All the teacher talked about were chemical reactions, nuclear fusion, and anything else she had droned out in the class.
She was walking down the hallway when she saw him. He was an outcast all right, but that didn't mean she couldn't think that he was hot. He was Sesshoumaru's little brother, Inuyasha. His golden amber eyes were watching her every move, and Kagome couldn't help but watch him with interested eyes as well.
As they passed each other, Kagome suddenly felt an electric jolt run through her spine. They both stopped for a moment and stared at each other.
Did he/she feel it too? They both thought, staring intensly at the other.
After a few seconds, Kagome started to feel something strange coming from Inuyasha. Being a miko, she could tell if someone had a great amount of spiritual energy in them. Rignt now, it was radiating off of Inuyasha in huge amounts. Kagome didn't think it was even possible to have so much spiritual energy.
Inuyasha soon sensed the same. Kagome had a lot of spiritual energy in her and then he sensed it. She was a miko! But why couldn't he notice it before?
(A/N: "italic" means Past Inuyasha, "bold italic" means Modern Inuyasha
"You couldn't because your own spiritual energy was dormant." A voice inside his head replied.
"What? Who are you?"
"Did you forget already? I'm your past life, in other words, Past Inuyasha."
"How the hell are you able to control my thoughts?!"
"I'm you, you idiot! Besides, I just found out when Kagome awakened me."
"Kagome...awakened...I'm lost."
"You are way too simple minded to comprehend. I'll explain later, I'm too tired now."
"Tired! Tired of what?!"
"Hush! I'll tell you later okay damn it! Jeez...and stop gawking at the girl, you're going to be late for that Tree-go-no-mee-tree thingy. What a stupid name..."
"Eh? ...wha...Trig...o...no...me...try...oh damn you're right!"
"Keh, I'm always right."
Inuyasha decided to ignore Past Inuyasha and regained his posture. He saw that Kagome was still standing there, staring at him with far away eyes. As much as Inuyasha liked the fact that she was staring at him, it kind of creeped him out. He was going to voice his thoughts, being the damn rebel that he was, but then the bell rang for class to start.
"Umm...I think we're late for class..." he heard the girl next to him say. Inuyasha glanced at her briefly in shock, but then shrugged it away. She wanted to talk to him, fine then, so be it.
Inuyasha nodded and started to go in the direction of his class. Kagome looked at him a little annoyed that he didn't say anything back before she to went to her next class too.
-XxX-
Inuyasha sighed in relief as he sat down on his lunch table. He'd gone through all of his worst classes and finally had his good classes after lunch. However, it kind of bothered him that he had two classes with Kagome in the morning, which was AP Japanese History and AP English Comprehension. She kept staring at him, and she sat a few seats across from him. What was her problem? Inuyasha didn't know.
The hanyou, though, didn't think about it because soon after, his friends/distant cousins came to sit with him. They were both outcasts as well because they hung with Inuyasha and had their own weird personalities, adding a damper to their already not mentioned status.
"Hey what's up Yash!" Two teenage boys said at the same time. One of them had long reddish orange hair up to his upper waist that was tied into a high pony tail and bright emerald green eyes. The other had short black hair that was tied into a low pony tail ending at the nape of his neck and violet blue eyes. All in all, they were handsome guys as well.
"Hey guys. Mom said she wants to talk to you so meet me at the parking lot after practice." Inuyasha replied sniffing his hamburger which consisted of a rival to tofu meat and soggy wheat buns. The two guys looked confused but nodded at the request.
"This hamburger smells disgusting."
"Tell me about it, school food gets worse every year." The dark red orange haired one, Shippo, agreed. The other one, Miroku, also agreed with a quick nod of his head.
"So what does aunt Izayoi want to talk to us about? If it's about the vase it wasn't me!" Shippo asked. He and Inuyasha were not really blood cousins. Inuyasha's aunt from his father's side took Shippo in at a young age when his parents were murdered. However, everyone loved Shippo as if he was a dog as well so it didn't matter if he was really a kitsune.
"Keh, yeah right...anyways...I had a weird dream last night. A guy that looks exactly like me told me that he was my past self from 500 years in the past trying to end something that had to end years ago. He told me about how some Naraku guy killed most of his friends and drove the rest including himself to suicide. Then-" Inuyasha said but was cut off by Miroku.
"Then he said that the Shikon no Tama wasn't purified by the rightful miko and that led to it breaking up into four parts, four souls. The Shikon no Tama is now imbedded in the reincarnations of the past four heros of the jewel, which includes us." Shippo then continued while Inuyasha looked at them both in shock, his motuh agape and golden eyes widened beyond belief.
"He said that we have to find our keys which are the reincarnations of his female companions. One's a demon exterminator, one's a miko, one's a fire neko demon, and the last one's a spearsmaster. They all have the power to awaken the soul of the Shikon no Tama in us and control our pre-incarnation's spirt powers and end the war between spirts."
"But...but how did you know? Dont tell me-"
"Yup, we had dreams like yours. Except ours had our pre-incarnations in it. It's strange too, I thought it was just a weird dream but the more I think of it, the more I start to believe it." Miroku said. He looked serious about this and so did the other two. None of them were kidding around with the highly delicate matter.
"Me too."
"Me three. I'm so confused about all of this. I dont know what to do, follow what my past self tells me to do or just live my life in peace? Heck, should we even believe this crap? We were just normal people, why should that change?" Inuyasha looked for answers but the others couldn't give it to him because they wondered the same.
Why get involved in such a thing? It wasn't like they were their pre-incarnations, they never even heard of a war between spirts.
The three decided to think about their deciscions another time, they were getting a headache and had to finish their lunch anyways. Soon the lunch period ended and it was back to class. But they were lucky since their next four classes were with each other, but also with the populars.
-XxX-
Finally, the horrible first full day of classes ended and it was time for practice. Well, rock band practice for Inuyasha and his group, but practicing doing nothing was for the populars group.
The last four periods of the day were terrible for the three outcasts because of the damned populars. They made sure to make their lives a living hell, even if it was just in school. But what could they do about them? Even if they did beat the snot out of them, the populars had their way to get revenge.
For practice, Inuyasha had special permission from the principal to use the auditorium. While he and his friends were setting the equipment up, the populars decided to come in and have some fun. Damn them populars...
"Well, well, well. What do we have here? Are the outcasts going to play with their little toys?" The leader of the group, Kouga, sneered. His popular group rivaled with Sesshoumaru's. Both of them were the kings of the school but they really didn't care much about each other as long as they weren't in each other's ways.
And much to Inuyasha's dislike, the wolf demon was Kagome's boyfriend. That's why the two always fought and argued. Most of the time...
"Well if it isn't Kouga the king of the retards. All hail the walking wolf turd!" The hanyou could hear Shippo and Miroku stiffling their laughs in the background while Kouga just growled menacingly.
"You better watch your mouth half breed or-"
"Or you'll what? Turn me into a retard? I'm sorry, but I want to have a life unlike your group of worshippers."
Kouga had enough of Inuyasha's smart mouth and decided to teach the hanyou a lesson. No one messed with him. And who ever did, payed for it.
Walking up to Inuyasha, who had his most prized possession in his arms, which was his favorite electric guitar that his father had given him, Kouga snarled in anger. His group of followers watched him, some satisfied, some not caring, and some dreading what was going to happen. And what did happen? Let's just say that Inuyasha lost his possession.
"MY GUITAR!"
"My guitar!" Kouga mocked the hanyou with a really annoying voice.
Inuyasha looked at the broken pieces of his electric guitar on the floor. That was the only thing he had left of his father to remember him by. The last person other than himself to touch it was his father, even when his mother snooped his room to clean, and now it was broken beyond repair. This was when Kouga drew the line.
"You shouldn't have done that you bastard!" Shippo shouted at Kouga. And the kitsune would have charged at the wolf but Miroku was holding him back.
"Yo kit, why dont you go tell a joke to your shitty drums! Maybe then something would actually listen to you!" Shippo's enemy, Manten laughed, his brother, who was more of Shippo's enemy and rival, laughed with him as well, even though the come back was so lame. Shippo bared his fangs at the thunder demon brothers, Miroku almost falling over trying to hold him back.
While this was going on, Kagome watched from the sidelines next to her best friend Sango Morimotto. She was the only person Kagome could really trust in the school, and it was likewise with Sango. Another girl with short black hair and scarlet red eyes, a hair demon named Yura, stood by them, watching the show too.
"Kouga shouldn't have done that. He over did it." Kagome said, shaking her head in disapproval.
Yura looked at her incrediously. "But Kouga always picks on the hanyou! There's nothing special in that! Dont tell me you have feelings for that...that thing!"
"That hanyou is a person whether you like it or not! He has feelings as well!" Yura stared at Kagome in disbelief, feeling a little more than disgusted. Kagome saw this and knew she had to say something to cover up whatever she had just blurted out.
"And no I dont feel anything for him, you know me, why would I fall for a half demon?" Kagome smirked. Yura looked apprehensive for a moment before sighing in relief. She knew the girl would say that.
However, in reality Kagome didn't feel that way. She didn't care whether Inuyasha was a hanyou or not, she really liked him. And when she says really, she meant really, really. She had known Inuyasha since they were kids because his mother and her mother were best friends in high school. She and him used to be the best of friends too but when they hit high school, she ditched him for the in crowd. Yet how could she like him so much and betray him in such a way?
But only Sango knew this revelation because Sango felt the same way for one of Inuyasha's friends. They had shared some...very unpleasant memories as well.
"Dont worry Kagome, I at least know." Kagome smiled appreciatively to Sango who smiled back and continued to watch.
However, Kagome suddenly noticed something different about Inuyasha. The spiritual energy the half demon had earlier was coming back and coming stronger than ever. The half demon hid his eyes in his bangs, and she could faintly hear him growling. Everyone looked on in shock as Inuyasha started to glow a dark red, then a bright gold. Shippo and Miroku took a step back in fear of what might happen now...
A/N: Cool, I'm done. Bye. HAPPY HALLOWEEN FOLKS! ENJOY THE CANDY!
