Chapter 10: Summer Demons
.
Last time...
"You're right. The fight has to go on! After all... Fighting XANA is my job.", Aelita said.
"No, Aelita, it's our job!", Jeremie corrected as the Lyoko Warriors gave each other a group hug.
"Hey! What about me and Kagome!? We helped!", Inuyasha said from the other side of the room with Kagome, making the group hug break up.
"Oh. Guys, should we let them join? They did help out when I was in danger when recovering my fragment. Not only that, Inuyasha helped out quite a bit before that.", Aelita said.
"They are a pretty good battle couple...", Odd mused.
"Inuyasha is a pretty good secret keeper from what we have seen. If he and Kagome have managed to hide the fact that Inuyasha was a half demon from people for so long, I think they can hide our secret too.", Ulrich said.
"Ulrich does have a good point. They also already have a lot of fighting experience.", Yumi said.
"Welcome to the group you two!", Jeremie said.
"Come on over! We already got it nice and toasty over here!", Odd said.
That was when Inuyasha and Kagome joined into the group hug. They were now officially Lyoko Warriors.
.
Kagome and Inuyasha stormed back to Kadic with their luggage in tow. Jim was making sure they were heading back to Kadic, even if one of them was a smart alecked, gruff, show off.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MADE US MISS THE PLANE!", Kagome shouted.
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT!", Inuyasha shouted back.
"THEN WHAT DO YOU CALL GROWLING AT A PITBULL FOR TEN MINUTES?!", Kagome asked.
"LIKE A PITBULL COULD EVER HURT ME!", Inuyasha snapped back.
"Quiet you two! It doesn't matter who caused you two to be late for your flight! You are both equally responsible!", Jim said, "Now march in there you two and go tell Principal Delmas what happened!"
"Fine.", Kagome and Inuyasha said glaring at each other.
After talking to Principal Delmas... In the forest...
Inuyasha lounged in a tree, still frustrated that Kagome took out them missing their flight on him. He was just making sure the stray Pitbull knew it's place and didn't try attacking him and Kagome. It did work after he let out a growl that sound more demonic than dog-like. That is what sent the Pitbull walking away with it's tail between his legs.
Of course since that took ten minutes, they ended up missing the flight, leading to their argument.
"Feh!", Inuyasha muttered.
At that moment, a squirrel landed on his head. It had a small metal military helmet on its head. It began pounding an ear of corn on Inuyasha's head. Inuyasha growled in annoyance, grabbed the squirrel, and threw it into the distance. The squirrel screamed something among 'I, GENERAL BINX, WILL DESTROY YOU! I SWEAR ON MY MOTHER'S OAK TREE!' as it flew into the distance.
"Stupid squirrel!", Inuyasha said, "Like YOU could ever destroy me!"
Later at lunch...
Everyone sat at their normal table. However, three people were not present at the table. Ulrich, Yumi and Odd.
"What happened to Odd and Ulrich?", Kagome asked.
"They all left for the summer. Odd said something about having to deal with his five older sisters.", Jeremie said, "Ulrich went with Yumi on a trip to Japan for a bit. I think it has to do with the fact at how rough his dad has been on him."
"How bad could having older siblings be?", Aelita asked.
Even though Aelita had all of her memory now, she still didn't know what it was like having and older sibling.
"Try having an older half brother who wants to kill you for getting the better inheritance from dad.", Inuyasha said.
"So why are you two back here? I thought you were going home.", Jeremie said.
"Inuyasha here thought it was a good idea to waste our time by growling at a Pitbull.", Kagome said.
"It's not my fault that it was going to attack you from behind!", Inuyasha snapped.
"Inuyasha...", Kagome said in a low voice.
Kagome glared at Inuyasha, grabbed a handful of her mashed potatoes, and threw the handful of mashed potatoes at Inuyasha. Aelita laughed at the mashed potato mask Inuyasha wore on his face. Inuyasha wiped off the mashed potatoes.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!", Inuyasha shouted.
"Be glad I didn't 'S-I-T' you...", Kagome said in a low voice.
Inuyasha then caught a scent. An all too familiar one. It made his growl in annoyance.
"Is something wrong?", Aelita asked.
"HEY MUTT FACE! I CAN SMELL YOU IN THERE!"
Many kids were confused by the sudden shouting. they shrugged it off and continued their business.
"Oh there is... The mangy wolf is here!", Inuyasha said as he got up and went outside, "I see you still haven't gotten yourself killed yet, Koga!"
Koga looked like he hadn't aged a day. However, Koga did have to change his wardrobe a bit. He wore brown fuzzy shorts and a tan tank top. He also wore sandals on his feet.
"I could say the same thing, flea bag. Last I saw you, you were pulling a cheap trick on a bunch of villagers with Shippo to get your mind off of Kagome disappearing. May I add you were giving me the 'Oh please get me out of this'!", Koga said, with the last part in a mocking tone, "Of course you did tell me to get lost after that."
"Why the heck would I stoop to doing tricks on humans?", Inuyasha asked.
"I thought you promised no more stupidity acts!", Koga shouted, getting annoyed, "You are giving demons a bad image just by asking such stupid questions!"
"Since when did you care? Where's the berating for me 'not taking care of Kagome'?! Or was it too much for you to handle?!", Inuyasha snapped.
Koga then looked offended as his cheeks turned red.
"As much I like Kagome, I. AM. MARRIED. YOU. IDIOT!", Koga shouted.
"You? Married? HA! Don't make me laugh! Who would marry a mangy wolf like YOU?!", Inuyasha snarked.
"What's gotten into you?! Don't tell me you choose NOW to play this game with me!", Koga sighed in annoyance.
"There's nothing wrong with me! There's something wrong with you!", Inuyasha said.
"What's it now?! My tail?! You pulled that one on me too many times back in the Feudal Era!", Koga said.
Inuyasha growled in anger and got ready to beat up Koga.
"INUYASHA!"
Inuyasha forze and gulped. Kagome caught him. Behind Kagome were Aelita and Jeremie.
"Kagome! I haven't seen you in awhile!", Koga said, "Not since the final battle with Naraku!"
"Huh?", Kagome asked.
"We haven't even defeated Naraku yet!", Inuyasha shouted, "So quit messing with our heads!"
"Wait, Inuyasha. Maybe this Koga is from my era. As in he has been around longer than expected.", Kagome said.
"So he refused to die?! Great! So I have hear him howling for the rest of my life?!", Inuyasha snarked.
"You howl too, Mutt Face!", Koga pointed out, "I only stopped hear you howl for a few hundred years until recently!"
"Only if Odd was here to see this...", Jeremie snickered at the possible GOOD jokes that Odd could make out of this demonic canine fight.
"Who are those two?", Koga asked, "I would have never thought you would hang around human children by your own will. Maybe Kagome grew onto you like she did to me."
Kagome blushed heavily. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Koga these are some of our new friends, Aelita and Jeremie.", Kagome said.
Aelita backed away from Koga as Koga reached out his hand to shake hands with her. Koga raised an eyebrow.
"Is something wrong?", Koga asked.
Aelita hugged Jeremie for protection, causing Jeremie to blush.
"Aelita's kinda afraid of wolves. She frequently sees them in her nightmares from what she tells me.", Jeremie said.
"You have got to be kidding...", Koga said sweat dropping, "Relax kid! I ain't going to hurt you! I had to give that up after many of the demons were forced into hiding!"
Aelita felt a bit more relieved at the fact Koga wasn't going to hurt her, but was uneased by the hiding part.
"Forced into hiding?", Kagome asked.
"What are you talking about?", Inuyasha asked.
"Many demons have been persecuted and burned in the beginning and as of late, being captured by agents in the nineteen hundreds.", Koga said, "Many of the more human looking ones like me, Totosai, Shippo, and Sesshomaru have been lucky we haven't got caught yet. Luckily humans are too ignorant to even bother look at my tail. Some did and thought it was fake. Same with Shippo. As for Sesshomaru, he has been using his Mokomoko as a boa to make himself seem more human."
"I guess I can do a bit of hacking over the summer...", Jeremie said, "That is if me and Aelita are left alone."
"What are you two? Hacking buddies?", Koga asked, "You know that hacking is illegal!"
"Jeremie is able to hack into government files without leaving a trace. I can do a bit of my own hacking some times too.", Aelita said.
"Not bad... But still bad.", Koga said.
"Now you are confusing me Koga.", Inuyasha growled.
"Can it mutt!", Koga said as a claw appeared on his right hand, "You are seriously ticking me off!"
"Make me, mangy wolf!", Inuyasha said as he gripped Tessaiga, "I am so gonna kick your mangy, flea bitten-!"
"INUYASHA! KOGA! CUT IT OUT! THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE!", Kagome snapped, making both canine demons (half in Inuyasha's case) put their weapons away.
"Fine! A fist fight it is!", Koga said and punched Inuyasha in the gut.
Inuyasha returned the favor and scratched Koga's cheek. The violence of the fight continued as Inuyasha and Koga leaped, dashed, dodged, punched, kicked, you name it all over the place.
Jeremie and Aelita winced at some of the damages they delivered at each other.
"Jeremie, is that suppose to happen?", Aelita asked covering her eyes.
"No... That is not...", Jeremie said covering his eyes too from the gory scene.
Koga delivered an uppercut into Inuyasha's side. Inuyasha kicked Koga in the rear. Koga punched Inuyasha in the cheek. Inuyasha clawed Koga's back. Koga nearly bit Inuyasha in the arm, but Inuyasha put Koga into a headlock. Koga broke free by kicking Inuyasha in between the legs. Inuyasha's eyes went wide as he grabbed himself in pain. Koga then kicked Inuyasha in the rear and sent the poor guy flying into a tree.
Inuyasha growled in fury.
"WHY I OUGHTA!", Inuyasha sneered as Koga laughed.
"You might want to remove the splinters first before barking at me!", Koga said as he laughed.
"I SAID CUT IT OUT!", Kagome shouted.
"Aww! You had to spoil the most fun I had in centuries!", Koga mock whined.
"Do us a favor and leave! I don't need to have anymore issues here!", Inuyasha said.
"Fine, mutt face. I will see you around sooner or later!", Koga said and began leaping away, "And keep up the good work on taking care of Kagome."
"HUH?! Since when does he compliment me on taking care of you?", Inuyasha asked in pure confusion.
