Haunting Sensation

Chapter 3: Tomorrow's Saturday - Today's Living Hell

* * * * * * * * * *

"In the flesh." Mr. Kimura pulled Inuyasha's twisted evil smile.

"What are you doing in Mr. Kimura's body?!" Kagome stood up on her tippy-toes and yelled in his face. Her voice echoed down the empty hallway.

"I have no idea. Let's just say I ran into him this morning." Inuyasha scratched his receding hairline.

"Well…get out of his body…now!"

"Hell no. I ain't gettin out of this fucker's body until you speak up."

"Speak up? What are you talking about?" Kagome calmed down a little trying to focus on Inuyasha's demand.

"Don't play dumb with me." Inuyasha was getting irritated. His chubby fingers balled up into a fist on his right hand and his other hand rested up against the window trapping Kagome as he did the day before. "Tell me about your brother and mom and you're nightmares about them."

Kagome put her head down and bit her lip. 'There's no way I'm telling him.' Kagome shook her head silently not lifting her head to see Inuyasha's eyes that had a persuading effect on her.

"Then, today is going to be your living hell." Inuyasha laughed evilly as the lightening struck outside the window in the storm. Kagome jumped at the sound and she couldn't help but think Inuyasha was either an evil spirit or an annoying jerk.

* * * * * * * * * *

"Miroku!!!" Everybody in the gym turned to the girl who was running in high spirits towards Miroku. Kagome was so happy that first period and lunch was over because now she didn't have to be tortured by Inuyasha anymore. She jumped on Miroku making him lose his balance. His ass landed on the hard gym floor and his neck was warped with Kagome's arms. Her cheek was pressed up against his.

"Um…Kagome, I know most girls can't resist my sexy charm but my heart belongs to Sango."

"No Miroku, like I would ever fall for you. I'm hugging you because I haven't seen you in a while and I'm happy that first period is over." Kagome got up real fast after realizing something. She gave Miroku an angry glare. Miroku got up confused wiping of his navy blue Shinjuku High School gym uniform. "I am kind of mad at you and Sango though because you left me in lunch alone again." Kagome crossed her arms against her chest.

"Sorry about that. Sango and I got a little busy in the janitor's closet. Mr. Kimura didn't catch us for once. That reminds me. Where is my dear Sango?" Miroku and Kagome turned their heads to look around the gym. Sango didn't catch their eye. Gym was the only class that Miroku, Sango, and Kagome all had together and they only had it twice a week, so it wasn't normal for one of them to skip without telling one of the two friends of their hooky plans.

'Sango never skips gym.' Kagome thought worried. "She was in the locker room with me, but we didn't leave together. She had to get something out her locker."

"Don't worry. There she is." Miroku pointed to the double gym door that Sango was walking through. Kagome waved to her. Sango waved back with an annoyed smile.

"Be careful Miroku, looks like she's on her period." Kagome whispered into Miroku's ear. Miroku nodded in understanding.

Before Kagome and Miroku could walk over to Sango, Coach Miyuki and Couch Gorou instructed for the class to sit on the bleachers. "Listen up today the girls are going to play volleyball under my supervision and the boys are going to play basketball under Couch Gorou's instructions." Today gym was held inside because of the rain.

'Now Miroku is going to be separated from Sango and I.' Kagome turned to Miroku next to her. "Sorry Miro-" Kagome had no reason to be sorry for Miroku because he had already gotten excited and ran to the other side of the gym to play basketball with the other boys. Miroku was on the basketball team after all. Kagome turned to Sango who was staring the boys down in jealously as they played basketball. Kagome had gotten so distracted that she had completely forgotten to tell Miroku or Sango about this morning's incident. 'Oh yeah I have to be on the lookout for Inuyasha. He could possess someone again. Maybe he's possessing Coach Miyuki because I hate volleyball and it was her idea to play it. How does he possess people any way?'

"Now let's split you girls into two teams." Coach Miyuki pulled out her roll of the gym class. The eighth name she called was, "Sango Tamura"

'Please be on Sango's team. Please be on Sango's team.' Two other people were called and that was the end of the first team. 'Noooooooooooo, now nobody will take up for me when I hit a ball that's going out, or fall on my butt from trying to hit the ball. Inuyasha really is possessing Coach Miyuki.'

"Everybody left will be the second team." Coach Miyuki signaled for the girls to stand up and make their way over to the volleyball net. As Kagome passed Coach Miyuki she made sure that her eyes weren't a honey amber and to her surprise they were the normal brownish green.

'Well maybe he gave up after making me answer six hundred Japanese History questions in the book and then giving me an F for not finishing before first period ended.' Kagome shook in her tennis shoes at the thought of what happened in first period this morning. In the back of her head she knew that Inuyasha giving up wasn't likely. Kagome stood in her position in the row closet to the net in the volleyball set up. She always seemed to screw up when she was in the back. If she was in the front there'd be players behind her to back her up. Sango was also in the front row on the opposite side of the net, three players down from Kagome.

Riyoko on Sango's team served first. Kagome was so happy that the serve flew over her head and somebody on the row behind her had to hit the white spiraling ball. The person who hit the ball was obviously someone who was on the same level as Kagome when it came to volleyball playing. This person hit the ball and it flew right into the net.

Sango's team got to serve again and the ball flew over the net heading to Kagome. Kagome was in shook, after she successfully hit the ball over the net. "Oh Yeah!" The ball was high and it was heading in for Sango. Sango jumped above the net's height and spiked the ball. Kagome was so distracted by her success that she didn't see the fast ball coming towards her. She was in 'I finally hit the ball over the net' land. The ball smacked her hard on the right side of her face. The ball had so much force that it made Kagome fall to the hard gym floor, (on her ass of course). Everyone in the gym, even the boys, stopped and turned to see what happened after hearing the smacking impact of the ball and the sound of the fall. One of the girls on Kagome's team, Sora, ran over to see if she was okay.

'This is soooooo embarrassing! My cheek stings!' Kagome slowly sat up with Sora's help. Kagome held her hand to her cheek. It stung every time she touched it. She didn't want to cry but it hurt so much that her eyes watered up and her throat began to get dry.

"Are you alright Kagome?" Sora kneeled beside her and placed her hand on Kagome's shoulder.

Kagome got up after realizing she was making a scene. "Yeah I'm okay." She slowly took her hand of her swollen cheek and turned Sango's way. Sango stood there in surprise with her hands over her mouth and her eyes wide open.

"Kagome, I am so…(clears throat) sorry," Sango didn't really sound sorry but she looked it so Kagome just thought of it as an accident and signaled to Coach Miyuki that she could still play. Everybody in the gym finally turned around and got back to their physical fitness games/activities. It was Sango's team's serve again and this time someone behind Kagome returned it. The ball went back to Sango and she spiked it again! What a surprise that this spike was also out to kill Kagome but this time Kagome was actually paying attention.

Paying attention didn't help her nonathletic clumsiness. This ball was coming fast and Kagome's life flashed before her eyes. She held up her arms over her face and closed her eyes tight. The ball hit her arms hard. She fell to the floor again. This time she got up fast rubbing her red arms and giving Sango a 'What the F?' glare. This time Sango didn't even bother to say sorry or show a caring expression. She just gave a twisted smile and Kagome knew that twisted smile and this was the second time she noticed it on someone it didn't belong to. 'I'm going to kill him!!!!!!' Kagome thought.

'She's such a dumbass. It took her this long to realize that I 'm possessing this Sango wench.' Inuyasha laughed at Kagome's reaction. He could tell by the angry expression on her face that she noticed who he was. Sango's team served again Kagome's team got the ball over the net without her help. The ball was heading for Riyoko who was all the way in the back, but Sango ran all the way to the back to get the ball. Sango hit the ball hard again and guess who it was heading for? This time Kagome dodged the ball. Luckily it wasn't as fast as the previous ones.

Coach Miyuki finally spoke up after watching from the bleachers, "Tamura, quit the bullying and play the game!"

Kagome couldn't hear anything she just stared into Sango's honey amber eyes, 'If he tries to hit me one more time.' She was super pissed about Inuyasha taking advantage of her best friend and the fact that he was trying to wipe her off the face of the earth all over some questions that he wanted to be answered.

Inuyasha glared at her with his malevolent expression, 'This is going to be so much fun.'

Of course Inuyasha hit a fast one her way again and this ball couldn't be avoided so her blocking arms hurt like hell but this time Kagome was so pissed that she ran under the net reaching for Sango. The students and gym teachers watched as Kagome chased after Sango around the volleyball net, around the gym interrupting the boys' basketball game, and out the gym exit. Kagome chased Sango down the hallway while shouting, "Inuyasha, get out of Sango's body!!!!!" Every class she passed by was disrupted by the sound of running and Kagome's voice.

There was no way Kagome could catch him/her. Anyone could tell by studying Inuyasha's figure that he was athletic then he possessing an athletic person's body. Kagome stopped in the middle of the third hallway her and Inuyasha turned down. She rested her hands on her knees and didn't take her eyes of the figure down the hallway. Inuyasha had also stopped not because he was tired but because he was teasing her and enjoyed every second of it. Kagome tried to regain her breath.

"Wait a minute. Why the fuck am I running from you?" Inuyasha/Sango walked up to Kagome. Kagome was so tried that she lifted her head giving him a stare of hate. He stuck up Sango's middle finger and stuck out his tongue. Kagome shot up and grabbed Sango's gym shirt collar. "Get out of Sango's body now." Kagome was starting to look a little scary and Inuyasha was surprised at her reaction but of course he still challenged her.

"Not til you answer my fuckin question." He got a grip on both of her wrist and gazed in her eyes with an 'I seriously want to know what the fuck is up' face.

"No way!"

'I can't believe this crazy dumbass still won't give up. I know the incident this morning was minor but I'm only gonna make her life a fuckin hell hole.' Inuyasha was starting to think that Kagome had more guts than he first assumed. "Fine then." He started and then Kagome quietly and slowly released the collar. "But you know this Sango chick has a nice rack. I wonder how she would feel-" Inuyasha/ Sango's hands were in the squeezing position and they were silently making their way to Sango's double D's.

"No No No No No No!!!" Kagome grabbed his hands stopping them mid way. "Okay I'll tell you."

"What was that?" Inuyasha leaned in pretending he didn't know what she said.

"I said I'll tell you!" Kagome's voice didn't cover the load manly voice she heard behind her.

Coach Miyuki caught up with them and stood right behind Kagome. "Tamura, Higurashi, your asses will be in detention all of next week!!!!" She was so mad that she spit all over Inuyasha and Kagome as she spoke.

"What the fuck?" Inuyasha wiped the spit off of Sango's forehead. Coach Miyuki was heated. Her angry vein popped out of her head.

"Two weeks detention for you Tamura! Get your asses to the locker room!"

Inuyasha was about to say something else but Kagome covered Sango's mouth as Coach Miyuki turned her back and stomped down the hallway in anger. 'Now Inuyasha's stubbornness has gotten me and Sango in trouble. My Aunt is going to kill me. I'm already grounded. Maybe I should have told Inuyasha from the start to avoid all of this. I need more ghost tips from Miroku.'

"So tell me…now." Inuyasha completely ignored what had just happened.

"I promise to tell you after school but only if you stop possessing people." Kagome waved her finger in Sango's face like Inuyasha was a little kid.

Before Inuyasha could agree or disagree to her comment Kagome turned around and ran down the hallway trying to make it to the locker room before she got into deeper shit.

* * * * * * * * * *

Kagome slowly walked to her locker after school. '25, 18, 09', she was ready to go home and get her scolding from her Aunt who probably got a phone call from Coach Miyuki four hours ago. 'I hope Inuyasha doesn't try anything else. I wonder where he's gone.'

"Kagome, please remind me again how I got two weeks of detention, because I really don't remember fucking you up with a volleyball, running around the school, or cussing out Coach Miyuki." Sango leaned up against the closed navy blue locker on the left side of Kagome's. Inuyasha left her body before she had to change out of her gym uniform and Sango was severely confused when Coach Miyuki reminded them of their punishment as they left the locker room after gym. Kagome had to explain through text message during forth period. She had no idea what happened in Literature today because she was texting Sango, using Sora's phone, the whole time. (Aunt Midoriko confiscated Kagome's cell phone in Chapter 1)

"I'm so sorry Sango but the ghost that stocks me isn't exactly Casper the Friendly Ghost. He's so stubborn."

"He's lucky he's dead because if he wasn't I'd kick his ass. Your cheek and arms are still swollen from his volleyball stunt." Sango stared at Kagome's red cheek wanting retribution.

"Don't worry I'll get my revenge in the long run." Kagome couldn't wait to give Inuyasha his payback. "I think I'm skipping practice today." Kagome had just noticed that she was very interested in visiting a certain place.

"Where are you going? You can't go to karaoke without me or Miroku."

"Don't worry; I'm not going to the karaoke bar. I'm going to a place a little more interesting."

"Alright, then I guess I'll see you on Monday. I can't do anything with you tomorrow because you're grounded." Sango gave Kagome a gentle hug.

"Bye Sango." Kagome waved as Sango made her way down the locker hall.

Kagome slipped her Algebra III book out of her locker and a folded piece of paper fell to her feet. She put her book and her school bag before slipping her hair behind her ear to pick up the folded piece of paper. When she brought the paper up to her face she noticed that it was a regular piece of college rule notebook paper. Her chocolate brown eyes lit up with joy when she read the front of it:

To: Kagome

From: Hojo

PLEASE READ!!!! I'M REALLY SORRY KAGOME!!!!

'He hasn't written me in weeks!!!!' Kagome was so wrapped up in Inuyasha that she had forgotten about Hojo.

Kagome was about to unfold and read but someone interrupted her. "What's that?" Inuyasha came through her locker being meddlesome. She was finally used to him popping up everywhere. She slowly got up.

"None of your business," Kagome placed the note in her navy blue uniform's skirt pocket. "Inuyasha?" Kagome got serious for a second. She leisurely turned to face him.

"What?" Inuyasha was confused by her sudden change in attitude.

"If I tell you about my family, you have to show me…show me where you died." Kagome didn't know why she was so interested in Inuyasha. She was thinking about him all day and not for the reason that he was possessing people, or for the reason of her helping him find his murderer. If he ever asked her why she was so interested in knowing more about him she would probably answer with a cheesy lie saying it would help find his murderer. 'Because in truth, right now…I…I don't know why my thoughts are so absorbed in him.'

Inuyasha's eyes caught hers and he couldn't face them so he just looked down quickly. He stared at his floating feet while sticking his hands in his pockets. "Okay it's a deal."

Kagome never heard Inuyasha speak so softly without getting heated. Inuyasha looked up slowly and found himself gazing at Kagome's bright smile. It was like time had stopped for him for just those couple of seconds. Before he could humiliate himself by blushing, he said, "What the hell are you smiling for? Come on." Inuyasha floated through her body making his way to the front entrance of the school.

Kagome didn't notice his discomfiture, but she continued to smile because she couldn't help it. "Wait up!" She shook her head getting back from 'Inuyasha was nice to me' planet. Kagome snatched her umbrella out her locker, closed it quickly, and ran down the hall to catch up with Inuyasha.

* * * * * * * * * *

"Is it far?" Kagome looked up at the sky as she and Inuyasha walked/floated through the school's front entrance and stepped into the courtyard. She was excited because the rain had stopped and the spring's sun was shining. Some people in the courtyard whispered about her as she walked pass noticing that Kagome was talking to herself.

Inuyasha didn't turn around to the girl following behind him. He was distracted by a group of girls that passed by whispering about Kagome. He could hear them saying, "I told you she was weird. She's been like that since middle school. She really needs to be in an insane asylum." They laughed as they passed by and they made sure Kagome heard what they were saying but Inuyasha was surprised when he turned to see Kagome staring up at the sky in her own world as if she was used to ignoring people who talked about her.

"Kagome." Kagome turned quickly from looking up at the sky. Her heart almost stopped at the sound of Inuyasha's soft voice releasing her name. 'One second he's mean and the next he's so calm that he has me being nice to him and feeling all weird!'

"Yes?" Kagome stared at the back of his head. 'He usually calls me dumbass when he's not possessing someone.'

"Tell me. I want to know now." Inuyasha had gotten a little more curious of her past after hearing those girls talk about Kagome in middle school. He stopped floating and turned around to face her. Kagome stopped walking after realizing that there was no way she could postpone her past story any longer. She sat under a cherry blossom tree in the grass of the courtyard in front of the school. Inuyasha followed and sat beside her. He placed his knees up and rested his elbows on them.

Kagome also sat with her knees up but closed together unlike Inuyasha. She hugged her legs, placed her chin on the corner of her knees and began to talk in a quiet voice. "When I was younger, maybe in elementary school, I never had problems with nightmares until my grandmother on my mother's side died of old age when I was six. I had nightmares the night of her death. I had the first nightmare maybe five minutes after her death. Every time I have the nightmares I feel what the person felt when they died. I feel the pain of their death and their emotions as if I'm reliving it. The nightmares of my grandmother's death stopped after a couple of weeks. Everything was fine until my five year old brother, Sota, was hospitalized with pneumonia when I was nine. After staying in the hospital for three months my…my brother died." Kagome's eyes began to water and she cleared her dry throat trying to find the strength to continue. Inuyasha turned the other way to make her a little more comfortable.

Kagome continued. "After his death the nightmare's started again and they mimicked my brother's death in his hospital bed. The nightmares lasted much longer this time, about three months. My mom never got used to the fact that her youngest child had died. She often blamed herself. Plus she had my nightmares to worry about. Her personality went from caring and comforting to depressed and unhappy. My father couldn't take her attitude so when I was eleven my parents divorced. My father begged for me to come live with him but I didn't want to leave my mother alone. At school everyone was nice to me and my two best friends Miroku and Sango helped me through everything. Then something made me sick inside. I came home one day after school to find the police and ambulance crowding the front of my house. No one would let me go inside no matter how much I cried and begged. I had this feeling that something was wrong. When my mom's body came out covered in black plastic, I knew exactly what happen. All the grief and pain had driven my mother to hang herself in the master bedroom of the house. I later found out the location of her death. She died when I was twelve. Shortly after her death I moved in with my still living grandma who lived close to my old home. The nightmares returned.

In the seventh grade, everyone at school started to avoid me even Sango and Miroku. I wasn't myself. I had a bad attitude because of loss of sleep. I never changed my messy hair. I didn't want any friends. I didn't need anybody. Everyone was afraid of me; some even believed I killed my mother. I would fall asleep in class sometimes and wake up screaming, so I can understand why they would be frightened of me. I never tried to cut myself or anything because I didn't want to fall as low as my mom did. I promised no matter how much pain that I went through that I would never kill myself. I would do weird things like pretending to put curses on people, and hang out in cemeteries. My grandma couldn't accept my behavior and I moved in with my father, who lives in Hiroshima, when I was fourteen in the ninth grade. He sent me to therapy and I hated it so much that changed my attitude. I had to go to a new school. I started turning back into my old clumsy happy self.

My father always tried to find something to keep my mind off my mom and brother, and that's how track came into my life. I loved my father but I hated living with him. I was myself but I still got depressed. I missed my old friends. After a year and a half of living under the same roof as my father, I begged him to let me move in with his younger sister who had just bought a new apartment in Shinjuku, where I used to live a couple of miles away from my old house. He was stubborn and we made a deal that if I continued on with track at Shinjuku High School I could live with my Auntie. When I made it back here I was happy to see that Miroku and Sango would still consider themselves my best friends and their friendship blocked out all the other people who remembered me from my middle school years. Those people still avoid me and spread rumors about my past. Miroku and Sango are some of the few people who approach me." Kagome didn't know what to say after that and she couldn't turn to Inuyasha. She sunk her head into her lap. She didn't want him to feel sorry for her and she didn't want to tell him the rest of the story until the time was right. 'I don't think it's the right time to tell him that he's the main character in my recent nightmares.'

Inuyasha was kind of pleased that her story had a sort of happy ending but, he could tell by her silence and movements that it took a lot out of her to finally cough it up. 'Sounds like she told the truth, I've even heard rumors of her at my school when I was living.' He stood up turning his back to her. He placed his hands in his pants' pockets. "Now for my part of the deal."

Kagome noticed that Inuyasha was trying to change the subject for her benefit and she silently got up wiping a few tears she let had loose. She followed behind Inuyasha, 'Thank you Inuyasha.' She knew he'd get mad if she sad that out loud. All of Kagome's sad thoughts of her mom and brother were replaced by inquisitive thoughts of Inuyasha's death setting.
