Highschool Abnormality
Ch. 8 – Drama at Kagome's
NORMAL POV
[({..**..})]
Thankfully, school finished without encountering another crisis situation. Kikyou attracted lots of attention and compliments thrown at her from millions of boys. Inuyasha was obviously the most surprised, since literally all his life, he and Sesshomaru got chased by her, and now they were finally free! Man, can Kagome bring on such a drastic change! And she was only here for such a short period of time! She's brought me happiness in all ways…but one… He sadly ended the once happy thought. At that moment he saw his best friend. He couldn't help but chuckle and say under his breath:
"Speak of the devil and the devil appears. In my case, 'think.'" After letting out a soft bit of laughter, "Hey Kags!" he yelled.
She turned. "Yes?" she said sweetly.
"Can I come over today? I wanna see Mum, Jii-chan and Souta." Inuyasha asked, remembering his past. As far as he could remember, he'd always called Kagome's mother 'mum.' He respected her like she was his own mother.
"Sure, Inu-chan. Why don't you all come? Sango, Miroku, Sesshy and you. That way it'd be more fun and plus I need to tell you guys all something very secret. Oh, yah, Rin can come, too."
"Oh. Alright. We'll all come." Inuyasha said, sounding immensely disappointed. Kagome couldn't help noticing this and added, "And you can stay for a sleepover, after everyone leaves. Come earlier with your stuff, so you can put it in my closet. AND you can help me UNPACK!"
Inuyasha, taking the chance to be with her said yes immediately, and took off, actually looking like he was skipping. He never heard the 'UNPACK' part of her offer.

*At Kagome's House*
Like Kagome, said, Inuyasha arrived first to her house with his essentials. When he rang the bell, he expected Kagome or Souta to open it, since running noises came from within. Instead, it was Mum. They both blinked and 10 seconds later…they were hugging. They let go laughing, and then both said at the same time, "I think Kagome's rubbing off on us. I mean, seriously a 10 second gap to hug?"
Once they realized they said the same thing at the same time, each chuckled under their breaths. Kagome's mother let Inuyasha in and watched as he ran to Kagome and embraced her. They're still the same, she thought as Kagome returned said embrace just as hard. Even though, they see each other at school all the time.
"Hey, Mum," Inuyasha called. "Why are you still standing outside?" And still oblivious, too, thought Kagome's mother.
"It's nice outside, though I'd get a bit of fresh air." She answered.
"Mum," Kagome started cautiously, "It's SNOWING outside."
"Mmhmm, I know. It looks beautiful. Anyways, Kagome hun, shouldn't you be getting all the treats ready? Everyone's bound to come any minute now. Oh and while you're at it, why not some ramen, too?" she suggested.
"RAMEN?" said Inuyasha, who previously was looking at Kagome, mesmerized, which Mum noticed, now was looking at Mum earnestly. "Mum, can you please make it? It's been such a long time." Inuyasha was literally standing in a puddle of drool.
Kagome's mother laughed and got to work. Just like the olden days, she thought happily.
Inuyasha went up behind her and said: "Mum, do you want Mom and Dad to come? It's been a long time, right?"
Kagome's mother, who was happy before, perked up even more, if that was even possible. "Oh yes, please call them. Anyways, I need something to do, while you guys talk. It's been a long time since I talked with Izayoi. How's she doing, Inuyasha? How's your father and brother? Is Sessh still a cold-hearted bum who only opens up to Kagome?" She rushed on.
"Boy, I wonder where exactly Kagome got her hyper personality from." He said sarcastically, earning a playful punch in the stomach by Kagome's mother, which resulted in him playfully acting hurt. At that moment, Kagome came running down the stairs and laughed while seeing said scene.
"Remember, when we were younger, Inuyasha would eat lots of ramen and then, you, Mum would punch him in the stomach, asking if he has any more room in that pot belly of his? And he would respond by pretending to puke it all up and moaning, no? Those days were fun!" All three paused a moment reminiscing.
They were interrupted by Souta: "Mom, I'm hungry!"
"Souta, dinner's not ready yet," she scolded.
"But Mom, I'm a growing boy." Souta pouted. Laughing Inuyasha said, "Hey that's my line."
Souta suddenly stood stock still and turned around. 10 seconds later, "Inu-nii-chan! I never knew you were here!" he said hugging Inuyasha around the middle.
"Hey kid, " Inuyasha chuckled. "Nice to see you too."
"Souta, did you not hear me telling you Inu-chan's here?"
"No, Sis. Sorry. I'll pa ymore attention to you from now on." Kagome dramatically sighed while muttering, "As if…" And just then the bell rang.
Once again, Kagome's mother opened it and saw Sango, Miroku, Rin, Sesshomaru and Kikyou. She knew what happened to Kikyou and who Rin was, since Kagome told her. They have a good mother-daughter relationship. She hugged each and every one of them, even Kikyou.
"Oh yah, Mum, you asked if Sessh is still a cold-hearted bumb who only opens up to Kagome, right?" he said, repeating her question word for word. "Nope, he's not. You know sometimes, he even HUGS me. And that's just creepy."
Everyone laughed as Sesshomaru proceeded to chase Inuyasha, jumping over chairs, tables and other furniture. Of course, they were careful not to knock anything down. Abruptly, Inuyasha skidded to a halt, which resulted in a collision of Sesshomaru.
"Why'd you stop?" Sessh asked, voicing the question that ran through everyone's' minds.
"Jii-chan!" Inuyasha ran outside to greet him as Grandpa turned and threw some powder to "get rid of" the demon.
"Jii-chan, please don't tell me, you've forgotten me of old age." Then to himself, "I highly doubt it, since he still remembers to throw that horrid smelling stuff on me."
Kagome who heard, guffawed in glee. "Inuyasha, I'm sure he-" she got cut off as Jii-chan says in shock,
" Inuyasha? Inuyasha! As in, Inuyasha, the one that always played with Kagome and has those abnormally cute and fuzzy ears?"
"Yes! Jii-chan, you remember me!" Inuyasha shouted in glee and proceeded to squeeze Jii-chan's every last breath and gasp out of him.
"Inuyasha, I think you're kinda squeezing Jii-chan's every last breath and gasp out of him! Anyways, we need to get inside. Meeting, remember?" Apparently, he didn't. She tried a different tactic. "Inuyasha, what about Mum's ramen? It's homemade, remember?" Not too surprisingly, he remembered. Typical no? He let go of Jii-chan, who was trying to retrieve his life back, and ran back into the house.

*In Kagome's Room*
As the two entered, they encountered Miroku, Sango, Rin and surprisingly Kikyou, pigging out on all the treats. Kagome and Inuyasha mentally fainted. "Sesshomaru, did you mentally faint too?" Inuyasha asked.
"No kidding. I really don't understand how they can withstand all that junk. Even Kagome can't, I'm pretty sure. And that itself is saying something."
"I know…" murmured said person…then "Hey!" once she realized that inserted insult. "Everyone STOP PIGGING OUT!" she yelled, as she noticed the crumbs flying from everyone's mouths. Gross! She thought. I don't wanna clean that up. And I especially don't wanna be the one explaining that to Mum, a.k.a. Neat Freak.
"Kagome… Don't call your Mum a neat freak." Inuyasha said.
"How'd you-"
"It's you."
"Am I that predictable?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
"Why is it unfortunate, Inuyasha?"
"Cause, that way, if someone kidnaps you, they can guess what you're feeling and try to twist your feelings to succumb to their power."
"Wow, Inu-chan, you used a lot of big words in that sentence."
"It was only one word!"
During all this, all the pig-eaters stopped pigging out and directed their attention to the drama unfolding before their very own eyes, for free. And of course the two best friends, never noticed any of this, and kept on talking… weirdly. Anyways, they soon snapped out of it, courtesy of Sesshomaru, who bonked their heads.
"Hey!" each yelled. "Hey!" they said again. "I remember now!" Sesshomaru looked very confused, since the twin minds pointed identical fingers at him. "You owe us 100 bucks each, remember?"
"Crap, you guys remembered."
"Yup. Well, actually it was Kags and she told us. We all forgot about it,' til you bonked us on the heads."
"Curse myself and my bonking-annoying-people-on-the-heads habit." Sessh muttered under his breath. Time to put on the cute boy act, he wondered.
"Sesshy-kun, don't you dare try the cute boy act, since it won't work on us anyways. It never did and never will." Kagome warned him.
"Oh drat! How'd you know?"
As Inuyasha answered, "Cause we knew you since you were a kid?" Kagome winked at Kikyou, who in turn winked back.
"Right," came a reply. Not from Sesshomaru. "Okay, everyone. We've prolonged this meeting way too long. We need to start talking, especially me. This is very important. Life-threatening even, to us and possibly the whole world." Kagome started, in a no-nonsense tone, which clearly meant 'NO NONSENSE, OTHERWISE YOU'RE DEAD!'
