OK sorry guys that I haven't updated in awhile. But well like I said chap 8 isn't a real chap. Just something I felt like writing. But Ayame and Rin did come into the story. Right just letting you know.

-----------------------------

Inuyasha woke up, to someone knocking on his door. Then a servant came in. He yawned.

"Can I help you?" The servant bowed.

"Sir, you need to go and get dressed quickly, and go into the main dining room, to eat a fast breakfast with the princess and the king and queen, then you'll have to go and take the next test." Inuyasha nodded, and dismissed the servant. He then quickly grapped a pair of black baggy pants, that was lined with glow in the dark. He also put on one of his favortive shirt. It was a baggy black shirt that had a heartagram on it. The heartagram was a blue, outlined shappire. Inuyasha brushed his hair, then grabbed his spiked belt and his chains, and his spiked braclets and such. He put it all on, on the way to the main dining room. When he got in there, Kagome looked up, and gave him a death glare. With her eyeliner on it looked even deadler. She eyed his clothes slowly, and apporved by nodding her head.

"Ah! Inuyasha good to see that you finally came to join us! I had to sent my servant to get you...I was afarid you might have slept in." Inuyasha just grunted at the King, and his father, which gave him a deadly look. Sesshomaru took one glance at him and said nothing. Inuyasha had the luck to sit across Kagome. She kept giving him dirty looks across the table. Of crouse her father didn't see her. Then Rin came bouncing in the room, clapping her hands. She wore a black skirt, with rips and such in it, and a black shirt on. She also wore a spiked belt and such.

Kagome was wearing her black baggy pants, with a black belly tank top on and a net shirt. Kagome of crouse prieced her tounge last night. Her father kept sneakingherdirty looks. She also wore all those spikes and such. (too lazy to repeat myself).

"Well! Now that the princess and the princes are done eating, the guest, oh my we seem to be getting more guest with each passing day, aren't we? Well they can bring food with them to the task!" A servant came by and passed each guest a bag with food in it. They all nodded their thanks, and left the room. Kagome stood next to Inuyasha.

"So...do you think father will make me be the bait again?"

"Probably."

"Well at least you'll be prepared this time." Inuyasha laughed a dry laugh at her.

"Oh shut up. It's not like, I wasn't prepared!"

"Yeah right! You were soooo not prepared! You stupid belligerent (eager to fight)."

"What?! I am not belligerent! You absurd (silly) little girl!"

"Excuse me!? I AM NOT A ABSURD LITTLE GIRL YOU JERK!" He sniffed at her with disgust.

"I animosity you." (Strong dislike for someone.) He glared at her. In truth he didn't know what the heck that meant.

"Whatever."

"When have you started dressing like a punk, jock?" Inuyasha looked up at her in surprise.

"What are you talking about? I've always been a punk...I just happended to be black mailed into dressing like a jock," Inuyasha said, while shuddring. Lucky for him Kagome believed him.

"Kagome, dear, come with me? I need to tell you about the plans of the task." Kagome rolled her eyes. Yup she was bait again. Joy. She'll have to act all helpless, to a devoring hungry animal or demon. And wait for her prince in shining armor! Yeah right. She could defend herself thanks. She WAS after all a cat demon, a proud, strong, indepented cat demon. Ah, what can I say? Just like a cat, is the way she acts.

"Yes father..." She gave Inuyasha and Sesshomaru a quick bow, and left. Her father kept giving her funny looks.

"What is it father..?"

"Kagome, daughter, I don't want you to dress like that anymore, you can still dress 'punkish' but please dress like princess's do in this time." Kagome gave him a horrfied look. Sarkua gave her a hard look. So she just nodded.

"Kagome, I have something for you first..." He turned his back to her and got out a box. He opened and it showed a pink round shepre. He took it in his hands, and closed the cold metal against her skin. She looked down at it, and gasped. It looked too pure to be on her neck.

"This my dear is the shikon no tama, it is your duty to protect it." Kagome nodded quickly knowing what he meant by what it is. She hid it underneath her tank top. And followed her father to the cage. He quickly wrapped a miko robe around her, like from the other task. He gave her a sorrowful look, and left. She sighed, getting bored. Then came a lizard demon. She looked at it with disgust. The demon looked at her with hunger.

"AH, a cat demon...how nice." He said in a smooth, clicking way.

"Ah, a lizard demon...how disgusting, and pitfully weak." The demon clicked his tounge on the roof of his mouth, and held back his desire to tear her from limb, to limb.

"You are under a strong spell, mistresss. Ssso do not mock me." Kagome rolled her eyes at him.

"Perhaps, but I can always escape, after all I am a miko also." The demon glared at her. He didn't know that.

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru slowly, but carefully walked into the maze. When they both came to a pitch-fork, Inuyasha went right, and Sesshomaru left. Inuyasha walked with caution, having his claws ready for any demon that might be in his way. He stopped walking when he saw a yellow mist hanging peacefully in the air. It glittered at him, saying Come....you know you want to.... Inuyasha walked into the mist, and immedatily felt like the world turned right side up. Then he started seeing visions.

The day he was in kindergarten. His mother pushed him in the classroom. Inuyasha looked up at her with big, round, sweet, kind eyes. She laughed and pushed him softly in the room. The teacher looked up and smiled a big round kind one. The classmates looked up, and gave him disgusted looks seeing that he was a hanyou. Expect one. The girl grinned wolfish at him. She sprinted out of her chair, and hopped all the way to him. She did a imation of a bunny at him. He wanted to laugh, but instead he backed into his mother. She smiled, and pushed him forward.

"Hi! I'm Kagome, nice to meet you! What's your name?" She said in a cute, adroable, how-can-you-resist-me voice. Inuyasha flushed in the face, and stuttered; "I'm...I-Inuyasha, nice to meet you Kagome..." She grinned even wider, so wide that he saw all of her white teeth.

"Do you want to play with me? We can be panthers today! And every other day if you want to!" Everyone stared at Kagome, she was always so nice, no matter what.

"You...don't care that I'm a hanyou?" Kagome laughed, a sweet laugh.

"Why should I? Your just like everyone else...human, demon, or hanyou, I don't care what you are! I just care who you are!" He smiled and ran with her to the play room.

Elemantray School

Kagome ran out of the classroom and into the hallway. She flushed from anger. Kagome powerwalked to the prinicals office muttering under her breath. Suddenly Inuyasha sprang out in front of her. Kagome "ekked!" and jumped back in surprise then her anger came back, and she pushed Inuyasha playfully hard into the wall.

"Ooof! What was that for?!" Kagome sighed.

"...That darn teacher is blaming crap on me that I didn't do!!! Just because I'm a punk, and skateboard in the hallway, and do tricks on school propiety doesn't mean she can blame something on me that I didn't do! It's because I'm a punk, isn't it?!" Inuyasha looked at her, then bursted out laughing.

"And your going to make a big deal out of that? Come on Kagome, your a punk, you shouldn't take this seriously, YOU out of all people should know better than that!" Kagome cracked into a smile then laughed her head off so hard, that she fell on the floor. When she got up they both grinned, and jogged to her house, screw the teachers. When her mom saw Kagome and Inuyasha skipping school again...she gave them both a wipping, till Kagome told her what happened. Kagome's mom stormed into the school, walked into the teachers room with Kagome and Inuyasha behind her.

"My daughter just told me that you are blaming her for something she didn't even do! Now why the fuck would my daughter say that? I know that she does not dare lie to me, even if she is a master in lying, I will always know the truth." The teacher was so scared of her look, that she said the truth, and Kagome's mom, cussed her out, and told her off BAD! So bad that Kagome and Inuyasha cracked up laughing on the floor again.

High school

Inuyasha meet...Kikyo. He started going distant around Kagome, then compelety ingoring her. All he ever had time was for Kikyo, and his perv'ed friends not counting Miroku. Kagome got angry, then she resented Inuyasha. Kikyo ruined their friendship. Kagome was exemtrely angry at Kikyo.

In the Castle

Kagome and Inuyasha started hanging out more. Their friendship growing till it was amlot like it use to be when they were little kids. Inuyasha saw her laugh at his jokes, respect him, and doesn't mind that he's a hanyou like most people did. Inuyasha then saw through her, she wasn't the tough girl like she acts, Kagome is a sweet, innocent, caring girl no matter what. She was pure of heart and soul. And the brain. Inuyasha regreted for what he did.

Inuyasha walked through the mist, as a new man...not. His eyes scanned the area around him. No sign of a demon, he frowned, what are they all on the other side with my brother?

With Kagome

Kagome yawned to herself, and muttered a quick spell. The robes fell down in a heap around her feet. The lizard demon looked up, but he showed no surprise at what she did.

"I'll let you live, if you go now, and don't harm anyone in this Kindom anymore, go." The demon walked off not once looking back. Her father did tell him that she would do something like this, pity she would have tasted good. Kagome stepped gracefully down and walked up. She laced her hands around the jewel on her neck, for proection, or just for comort she didn't know. Kagome narrowed her eyes when she saw a shadow. The shadow stopped seeming to hear her. Then the shadow turned the corner. Kagome blinked and looked at Inuyasha in the face. She gasped at loud, and put her hand to her heart. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Kagome just smirked and slapped him.

"What took you so long?"

"Somehow I knew that your father realized that you weren't going to stand around all day long." She stuck out her tounge at him, and said nothing. He turned around again and walked off, this time with Kagome trailing along behind.

Later on

"INUYASHA! Are you listening to me?? I'm verryyyyy BORED!" Kagome yelled at Inuyasha. Who had his hands upon his ears and was trying to ingore her. How on earth did we ever become friends?! Because of Kagome's yelling, she attracted a strong demon, who had a bow and arrows, and because Inuyasha was trying to block out her yells he couldn't hear the demon running towards them. But of course he wasn't using his nose either, because also of Kagome, her scent was all over and he couldn't smell anything else. Before they knew it the demon stood in front of them. This demon, was in a womans shape. She had long white hair to her feet, her eyes glittered with sliver. He body shone with a billarant bright light. Her clothes hardly touched her soft, decilate skin, it just flowed all around her like water. She smiled, and brought her eyes down into Inuyasha's. Amlost instanly his eyes glazed over, he tired to walk to her, to kiss her, to anything with her.

Kagome nociting this went right in front him to stop him. But it only delayed him. So instead she just knocked him out.

"Nice try, but you can't and dare not try and enchant a woman." The demon frowned slighty but said nothing. She put down the fancy, and elf made bow down, alone with elf made arrows. Kagome knew that if elfs made a weapon for you, then you were amlost undeafeatable. She also knew how they made their weapons. She could have made them too, but alas they wouldn't even be close to being the same. (Think of Lord of the Rings weapons). The demon walked to her and still said nothing, nor gave any appereance of what she might do. The demon was right in front of her face, nose to nose kind of deal before she spoke.

"You are a miko, how...pleasnet, I shall give you my bow and arrows if you let me have this young man over here." Her words flowed like water to Kagome, and she gracefully trusted her hand at Inuyasha's direction.

"I would rather fight you then let you take one of my friends!" The demon narrowed her eyes at 'this silly little girl'.

"So be it!" The demon jumped five feet away from Kagome. Her body, her hair, her eyes all turned into a nasty gray, while her dress insantly had rips and holes on it, with tears at the edges. It was black. The demon's nails grew and grew till they were long enough to use as a weapon. She didn't even think of the bow and arrows. Kagome ran from the attacks the demon threw at her. Kagome was fast, and strong, and also smart, yes but she had a hard time, for this demon moved with such grace, and speed that it was hard to see her. Kagome cried out and fell to the ground, inches from the bow and arrows. Blood trickled down Kagome's cheek. The demon stood behind her, inches from giving a death kiss to Inuyasha. Kagome seeing the bow, crawled to it. The demon too busy adrming Inuyasha's hair didn't notice Kagome at all anymore.

Kagome grabbed the bow and arrows. She swun the arrows which was in a quiver on her back. She took one arrow and fastened on the bow. She then aimed her target: The demon. The demon looked up to see a flying, pinkish light hit her in the forehead. She screamed a blood-curtled sceam, and had her hands on the arrow trying to free herself from being priefted. But to no avil. Kagome gasped, and fell down to her knees, then every thing blacked out.

Next week

Kagome woke up and smiled to herself like a little child. She looked around and saw that she was in her room. Inuyasha came in the room, bringing her, her lunch. Inuyasha noted she was awake, but eyed her smile.

"Kagome? Are you alright?" He put his hand to her forehead. She still smiled at him. But spoke with her teeth clenched together.

"Inuyasha, how the hell did I get here? What the heck happended?" Her words came out all confusing because of her tounge priecing and that fact that she hadn't been able to practice talking with it because she was asleep for a whole week after she had it done. When Inuyasha gave her a blank look, she just slapped him, and kicked him out of her room.

"This is the thanks I get for treating you for a damn week and for worrying about you?!" Inuyasha shouted at the door. When she didn't reply he left and went to tell the King that she was awake.

Kagome got dressed in the usal. But instead she wore a binkni top. It was a tanicular, and black, it was rimmed with sapphire, and had the playboy bunny on it. It was a brithday gift, from...Miroku. When Kagome got out of the room, Sango, Shippo, Miroku, Sesshomaru, and Kagura all greeted her.

"Hey! Feeling better?" Sango asked.

"YUP!"

"Hey, Kitty, looking good in that top I got ya!" Miroku hugged her.

"Yeah yeah yeah. Now can you get off of me?"

"It's nice...that your feeling better. It took me amlost all day just to get out of that maze." Sesshomaru frowned a little then turned and left with Kagura trailing behind. Kouga turned the corner, with Ayame on his back again. Kagome looked up at Kouga and smiled. She gave him a big, friendly hug. Ayame glared at her. Her green eyes buring with rage, jealousy, and disdain. Kagome smiled at Ayame and then walked off. Kouga said nothing and walked into his room, and slamed the door in Ayame's face.

Somewhere else in this world....

Naraku was growing stronger day by day. No one knew why, he just was. Soon he'll become a full demon, a strong one. Top of the pyrmaid. He was growing restless. He wanted to give pain to Inuyasha. And for that he needed Kagome. Kikyo was no use of him anymore. He needed to get rid of her anyways, so he sent her on a mission. Kikyo just left too.

"Soon....Inuyasha...soon...." He muttered in a voice that would make your skin cold all over.
