It was another day in Feudal Japan, and I was heading to my time for school. I made sure to not wake anyone as I got up. I was halfway to the well on my bike when there was a familiar flash of red. I slammed the brakes, just stopping before I hit a frowning Inuyasha. "Inuyasha I almost hit you! What are you even doing here?" I said, crossing my arms. "The question is, where are YOU going?" He asked, pointing a accusing claw at me.
"I can go wherever I want, I don't need your permission." I huffed. He growled. "At least warn me you're leaving." He said crossing his arms and looking away. "I'm going to school." I told him, sighing. "What!? Don't tell me you're gonna go fight that 'Exam' guy again!" He growled in disapproval. I froze, wondering if I should actually tell him why I'm going. "No, I'm not doing my Exams again. I have to talk to someone…" I told him. He must have seen my hesitance because he scowled.
"Something's wrong." He stated. "I'm going with you." He lifted me off my bike and onto his back. He then grabbed my bike and speeded off towards the well. I sighed internally. At least he's letting me go, but I have to find a way to get out of that date with Hojo without Inuyasha noticing. When we reached the clearing in the Inuyasha forest, he didn't even stop. He just jumped in without slowing down. Inuyasha crashed into the side of the well, but both me and my bike where unscathed.
Acting like nothing happened, he jumped out of the well into the shed that the well resided in 500 years later. He carried me up the stairs and dropped both me and my bike off outside. "Thanks Inuyasha. Please wait here." I told him hoping he wouldn't follow me to school, however he didn't listen and followed me down the steps to the shrine. I sighed, aloud this time. I reached into my bag and pulled out something I had made. I turned around and pinned a piece of paper to Inuyasha's Haori. 'Don't mind me, I'm a cosplayer.' It read.
Thankfully, Inuyasha didn't complain. After what seemed like an eternity, we reached the bottom. Inuyasha suddenly scooped me up in his arms and started running in the direction of school. "Inuyasha, I can walk ya'know." I told him dryly. "It'd take forever if we walk. We will get there faster this way." He said. I sighed, glad I had attached that note to him. Everyone stared at us when we arrived at the train station, however Inuyasha's glare and growls scared them away. I guess the note he was wearing also worked. The doors to the train opened and we watched as people flooded out.
"We are not going in there." He muttered. Instead he leapt onto the top of the train and sat down. "Inuyasha, you realise that we are supposed to be inside the train right?" I asked him. "I ain't going into that thing's belly." he refused. He caught my worried look. "We won't fall off, I promise." He reassured me. Just then the train zoomed off and like he promised, we didn't fall off. We sat in silence as he watched the world pass by curiously. He observed the tall buildings, the way the train worked, and the many people walking around. He almost didn't notice when the train stopped.
Once he realised that this was our stop, he lept off and twisted in between the groups of people blocking the way. After we left the station, it was a short run to school. He dropped me off outside the gate, but he refused to leave. "Inuyasha, thank you for taking me this far, but can you please wait outside?" I asked. He shook his head stubbornly and followed me through the gate. "Kagome!" I heard the familiar voices of my friends call me. "You're back! I thought you had Brain cancer you should be at home." Eri said, worriedly. "Um.. I've been cured for now. It's safe for me to be here." I told them, sweat dropping.
"Brain Cancer? What's that, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, hovering over my shoulder. "Huh? Who is this? I didn't know your boyfriend was a cosplayer! Wait what about Hojo-" I cut them off, waving violently. "Hojo? Whose Hojo? I don't know a Hojo!" I lied. 'Go with it.' I mouthed to them, hoping they would understand. "Oh my god! You're cheating on your boyfriend with Hojo!?" One of them yelled. I froze. "What!? No!" I pleaded with them. "Oh! I get it." She then realised what was going on.
I sighed. "He is your friend and you're here to go on a date with Hojo!" She clarified. I facepalmed and everyone around but Inuyasha sweat dropped. "Who is this Hojo person?" Inuyasha asked, his voice dripping with anger. "Hey I heard my name. Oh Hi Kagome! You ready for our date today?" Hojo asked, appearing out of the crowd. "Oh yeah about that…" I chuckled nervously. Hojo kneeled down and kissed my hand. The next thing I knew is Hojo was on the ground pinned by an angry Inuyasha. "Hey hands off buddy." He growled.
"Inuyasha, off!" I told him, peeling him off of Hojo by his sensitive ear. "Ow! Hey what was that for! I was trying to protect you, you ungrateful wench!" He growled at me. That was the last straw. "Inuyasha…." I growled. He froze, knowing what was about to happen. "Go home! Now. or else I'll S.I.T you." I told him, whispering the last part in his ear. Usually he'd back off, but this time he didn't. "I will not!" He yelled stubbornly. "Fine! Sit!" I yelled back. His face slammed into the concrete, but he just got back up. "No." He growled defiantly. "Sit." I told him, but I felt sorry knowing that he was only trying to protect me. He slammed into the ground again.
"Kagome, how'd you find such a good actor?" One of my friends asked me as Inuyasha got back up. I froze, I had completely forgotten they were there! I couldn't sit him in front of all these people! Wait, where did everyone go? I looked around but it was only just us and Hojo. "The bell rang while you guys were arguing." Eri explained the absence of a crowd. "Aww thats so cute! The cosplayer is jealous!" The other friend squealed. "Is that true Inuyasha?" I asked him, knowing he would avoid the question. "I'll tell you if you apologize." He said, an answer I was definitely was not expecting.
"I'm sorry." I told him. The pouty face he wore disappeared. "Fine… I'm jealous…" He said turning away pridefully. "I'm sorry Kagome. I had no idea you had someone else. You should've told me no." Hojo apologised, bowing both to me and Inuyasha. "I had no idea we were dating." I said, looking directly at Inuyasha. "I didn't say we were. You're just mine." He said, crossing his arms. "Do you even know what dating is?" I asked him. He shook his head. "Well that explains it. When you're dating someone, it is the same status is you are mated to them." I explained, I had learned this from Sango.
His face heated up. "Oh." was all he said. "Wait, you wanted to date her!?" he then growled angrily at Hojo. I could see his demon coming out. "No inuyasha, not here!" I told him, but he didn't listen and transformed. "Um… Kagome? Whats happening?" Hojo asked, backing away from an enraged Inuyasha. Inuyasha went to attack but I stood in front of him. "Kagome!" Hojo yelled concerned for my safety, but I knew he would never hurt me his beloved mate. His claws fell limply onto my shoulder.
"Inu protect Mate. Mate must move." He commanded softly. "No Inu. Mate not move. Mate is fine. Mate is yours." I told him. He slowly relaxed but did not transform back into Inuyasha. "Inu is sorry." He said, resting his head on my shoulder as an apology. "It's okay guys. You see Inuyasha is a demon. I'll explain later." I told my friends over my shoulder. For now I would focus on calming my Mate.
Cliff Hanger! Mostly cause I'm too lazy to write more.
