Inuyasha Regashi chapter 7: Itaru goes to school pt. 1
"Kagome! Dinner time!" Kagome's mother called. Kagome, Itaru and Meimei were sitting in Kagome's room doing various activities. Kagome was studying while Meimei and Itaru were solving a puzzle. Kagome was glad that the kids could find something quiet to do 'unlike Inuyasha. He just stares and stares and stares.' Kagome thought. "Great! Time to eat! Im starving!" Kagome rushed downstairs to meet her mother, Sota and her grandfather; Meimei and Itaru rushed in behind her.
"Hey guys! Whats for dinner?"
"Oh I just felt lazy today, so I just made some ramen for dinner!" Kagome's mother exclaimed. 'WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I JUST GET BACK FROM A JOURNEY WHERE WE EAT NOTHING BUT TINY, TASTELESS LITTLE FISH TO INSTANT NOODLES?' Kagome thought. "that's…great…" Kagome said. Kagome sat down in a slump at the table. "what smells so good?" A voice said coming from the hallway. Itaru and Meimei barged in the dining room with the Higurashi family staring.
"Oh if I knew we were having guests, I would have made more. Kagome, why didn't you tell us we were going to have company?"
"'Cause I didn't know myself…" Kagome grumbled.
"OHHHH! RAMEN! I SMELL RAMEEEEEEN!" came a voice from outside.
"Oh god…" Kagome sighed. Suddenly the window in the dining room opened and out popped Inuyasha. "Hey, you don't mind if I stop in do ya?" Inuyasha asked.
"Not at all! It only takes a few minutes to make some more!" Mrs. Higurashi said getting up.
"Great!" Inuyasha cheered. He looked up to see Itaru and Meimei standing across the room from him. "HEY! There you are, you brats! How did the well let you two through?"
"HA! You said the well only works for you and Kagome! We showed you!" Itaru taunted.
"Yeah! Showed you!" Meimei repeated.
"Grrrr…."
"Hey Inuyasha! You didn't tell me you had siblings!" Sota said.
"What? Siblings? They aren't my siblings! I only have a brother and he is older than me!" Inuyasha said.
"Well they gotta be, they look exactly like you!" Sota said.
"Huh?"
'OH no!How can he tell? Uncle's leaf must be…' Itaru reached into his pocket and took out a leaf. The leaf had one brown spot on it. 'dammit! I guess these leaves don't last forever! I don't know how long these leaves will last…I really gotta step on it!' Itaru pulsed a little bit of his demonic energy into the leaf to reinforce the youkai magic.
"What are you talking about, Sota? They don't look anything like me!" Inuyasha said.
"Oh, on second thought, maybe not. Maybe they are just cousins of yours?"
"Impossible! My cousins, if they exist, are either completely human or completely demon. Not hanyous." Inuyasha explained.
"Oh. Oh well then."
"The ramen is ready!" Kagome's mother called out to them. The three hanyou sat down at the table and waited to be served. Kagome's mother served them steaming hot cups of instant noodles. "I made your favorite, Inuyasha: beef flavored!"
"YESSS!" Inuyasha cheered. He carefully blew the steam off of the noodles and gulped it down.
"I didn't know what flavor to fix you two, but I thought I would make you beef flavored ramen as well. Just holler if you don't like it." Kagome's mother said.
"Thank-you very much!" the two hanyou children said. they blew off the steam and slurped up the instant noodles.
"WOW! THIS TASTES AMAZING!" Itaru said.
"SOOO YUMMY!" Meimei echoed.
"Best food on the planet, isnt it?" Inuyasha asked.
"Mmmhmmm!" the children agreed. The three hanyous gulped down their cup of noodles in a matter of minutes.
"So tell me you two, are you any closer in completing the shikon jewel?" Kagome's grandfather inquired.
"No, not really. Naraku has a majority of them. Its going to be tough trying to get them back." Inuyasha informed.
"Now this Naraku character, who is he?" Kagome's grandfather said.
"He is a half demon that is after the shikon jewel as well. Naraku is pure evil, in my opinion. He has destroyed many people's lives. He tore Inuyasha and his…uh…girlfriend Kikyo apart, he cursed the family of our friend Miroku with a void in his hand that will eventually swallow him up and destroyed the village of another friend Sango and uses her little brother as his pawn!'
"Why the nerve! What a disgusting creature! Who would do such a terrible thing to people?" Kagome's mom exclaimed in shocked disguist.
"Him apparently." Inuyasha said.
"And not only that, they killed our parents in cold blood!" Itaru said.
"How terrible! You two must be so alone!" Kagome's mom sympathized.
"Yeah. I miss my Mama and Papa." Meimei said .
"I bet you do!" Kagome's mom said. "if everyone is done with their dinner, I made cupcakes!"
"Cupcakes?" Itaru wondered.
Mrs. Higurashi walked out of the kitchen with a plate full of mushroom shaped pastries topped with a white, creamy substance with rainbow colored specks on top.
"Whatever they are, they smell good." Inuyasha said.
They all reached for one of the fancily decorated cakes. Meimei took a big bite out of one of them and smiled brightly "WOW! THESE MUSHROOM PASTRIES TASTE SO GOOD! THEY DON'T EVEN TASTE LIKE MUSHROOMS!"
"That's because they're not, stupid." Itaru rebuked.
"Well I didn't know!" Meimei retorted.
"Hah! Can't you tell, they don't even smell remotely like mushrooms. You're so stupid." Itaru teased.
"I am not!" Meimei shouted.
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"
" Itaru! Meimei! Be nice to each other! What would your mother and father say?" Kagome scolded.
The two stopped their bickering and stared at Kagome with longing eyes. They knew exactly what their mother and father would say.
"Ummm what is that look for? Did I say something I shoudnt have?"
"No, its nothing. You're right. We will behave." The two said.
'that's really weird. They looked at me really funny just then…and they cooperated with what I said so well…' Kagome thought.
"Alright then, im off!" Inuyasha said. "Wait, Inuyasha! You didn't come to get me?"
"Uhhh, do you want me to take you back? That can be arranged, you know." Inuyasha said smartly.
"Um no, that's fine!" Kagome said.
"Humph. Kagome, you are so strange." Inuyasha mumbled.
"So, are we really going to school tomorrow?" Itaru asked excitedly.
"Ummmm…yeah…" Kagome said. 'I cant let them be seen at school tomorrow. It could be disasterous!'
"Oh boy I cant wait!" Meimei cheered.
'Yeah….' Kagome thought.

The next day, Kagome ran out of the house and down the stairs away from the family shrine. "Good so far! Hopefully I can give them the slip before they know that im gone! Now I can finally—"
"Kagome! You forgot to wake us up!" Itaru said, standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"AHHH!" Kagome screeched to a stop with Itaru and Meimei in front of them. "Itaru! Meimei! What are you…!"
"You said we could come and watch you at school, remember?" Meimei said.
"Uhhh…did I say that?" Kagome wondered. 'Crap, these kids don't miss a beat, do they?'
"Yeah you did." Itaru said folding his arms. "Did you intentionally leave early?" Itaru said suspiciously.
"Uhhhh…I...ugh. Okay you guys. I know I told you that you could come with me, but I remembered something really really important. I didn't want to wake you guys up and see you both disappointed." Kagome sighed.
"But you said that we could!" Itaru said.
"I remembered that I have a lot of tests today so im going to need total concentration. If you guys are outside watching me the whole time, then I wont be able to concentrate and pass my test!" kagome explained.
"But you promised!" Meimei complained.
"im sorry you guys. Maybe next time…"
"That's no good! You gave us your word!" Itaru argued.
"Im sorry! I really am! You guys can come when I don't have a test to take!" Kagome said before running off. "Ill be back by four o'clock!" Kagome ran off and disappeared around the corner.
"Well, im not going to let her tell me what to do!" Itaru said.
"But you have to! She is—"
"I know, I know! but im not going sit here and do nothing! What if something happens to her? Who will protect her?"
"Oh you have a good point there!" Meimei agreed.
"Well what are we waiting for? Lets go!"
….
Kagome finally arrived at school ten minutes before the first bell. The campus was buzzing with other students rushing here and there to their first period classes.
"Great! I got here just in time!"
"Hey! Kagome! You're here!" came a voice behind her. It was Eri with her other two friends Ayumi and Yuka. "Yuka! Eri! Ayumi!" Kagome exclaimed. "No time to talk now, Higurashi! We're going to be late!" Kagome's three friends pushed her hurriedly towards the front door.
Back by the front gate, two figures stood in the shadows. "Okay, all we need is a disguise…"
"What am I going to do? Im not old enough to attend!"
"Ummm you can watch!"
"No fair! Why do you get to go?"
"Because im older and I'm smarter."
"no you're not!"
Suddenly an unfamiliar boy passed by where the two were hiding, "Oh boy! The first day of school! I can't wait to see what this new place is like! I hope they have a soccer te-" then, the boy was abruptly snatched into the bushes, his mouth covered by a clawed hand.
In the feudal era
"So they did go down the well after Kagome?" Sango said.
"Yeah, I was really surprised." Inuyasha replied.
"This makes absolutely no sense. No one else can cross over to Kagome's time without the use of the shikon jewel." Miroku said.
"So did Itaru and Meimei come back with you, Inuyasha?" Shippo asked.
"No they didn't. they stayed the night at Kagome's place. They said that they were going to go to 'school' with Kagome today. I don't know how that's going to work. She definitely doesn't let me go out in public with her unless im wearing that stupid cap of hers. "
"This could be a problem…if anyone in Kagome's time sees either Itaru or Meimei out in the open, it might cause some trouble in her time." Sango said.
"Oh I think Kagome can handle it." Inuyasha said lightly.
"I hope you're right…" Miroku breathed.
Back in the 21st century
Kagome sat down with a heavy sigh in her seat in her first period class. 'Okay, lets get this over with once and for all.' Kagome thought.
"Alright class, as you all know we have a test today. Have your supplies ready and take care of your business before you start. There will be no breaks allowed while the test is in progress. I will review some of the things that will be on the test before we start but first we will take attendance. Akihito Yukio?"
"present."
" Akimoto Eri?"
"here!" Eri said.
The teacher went down the list of names of the students.
"Higurashi Kagome?
"Im here!" Kagome said.
"so glad you're back, Kagome! Maybe we can hang out after school?" Hojo whispered.
"Uhhh maybe…" Kagome said.
"Ienari Kojiro?"
Suddenly the door slammed open to reveal Itaru in a school uniform.
'Itaru!' Kagome stared at the boy in shock.
"Is this chamber five score thirty and four?" Itaru said obnoxiously loud, reading a small piece of paper.
"Chamber, no. Homeroom 134, yes. Are you Ienari Kojiro?" said the teacher.
Itaru looked down at the piece of paper and spotted at the top of the page schedule for: Ienari Kojiro.
"Uhhh yeah, I guess." Itaru said.
"Umm, Alright then. You may take the seat next to miss Akimoto, mr. Ienari." The teacher said.
"Cool." Itaru said lightly.
'OH NO NO NO NO NO! THIS CANT BE HAPPENING! IT JUST CANT BE! I'VE GOTTA GET HIM OUT OF HERE! HE DOESN'T HAVE A CAP ON! AND WHERE IS MEIMEI? OH BAD BAD BAAAAAAAADDDD!'
OH SNAP! CLIFFHANGAH! Hehe, sorry guys!
personally I think that this chapter was better than the last. But not as good as the other ones. But the next one, I have an idea where im going with this. Like I said before, im really bad at filler chapters. But this one and probably the next one are one of my better filler chapters; not my best though.
Still no internet...TT_TT
