The World Can Be Very Strange

Chapter 11: Our Lives

Kagome's POV

I am carrying a very huge binder filled with papers.

I really hope I don't drop this...

I just jinxed it, didn't I?

Anyway, I'm walking home from school.

I feel like someone's watching me...

I turn around, and there's a tall man with long, silver hair walking behind me. He has strange purple marking on his face.

A demon.

OK, so no one's following me, just walking behind me. I'm being paranoid. But still, this guy creeps me out.

I stop and bend down, pretending to tie my shoe.

I glace over my shoulder. The man is still walking.

I keep pretending to tie my shoe, then hear voices behind me.

"Hey, Shessy!" A voice says, almost mockingly. "Didn't think you'd ever come out of those woods!"

"Well you thought wrong." The other voice said calmly, but it was kind of.. scary.

"Why were you in there so long, anyway? And where's that little green guy of yours?"

"Stupid teenage girls. That is why I was in there so long."

"Huh? What, did some girls obsess over you cuz you're so 'pretty'?"

"No, a small girl was following me. Must you always be involved with my personal business?"

"Oh, come on, I'm just curious!"

Something about the voice sounded familiar...

I stood up and glanced over my shoulder again.

Inuyasha.

Wait, how did Inuyasha know this guy?

"Just because you are my younger brother doesn't mean you have to be nosy. I am bigger and stronger than you are." The tall demon said.

Well, that answers that question.

I continue walking, and they do, too.

"Hey, is that you Kagome?" Inuyasha shouted at me.

I stopped at turned around.

"Oh, hi Inuyasha."

"Who's this?" the tall demon asks. "Your wench?"

"Yes, Sesshomaru," Inuyasha says, quite sarcastically. "She's my 'wench'."

I give a short laugh at his sarcasm, then turn around and continue walking.

The next day, at lunch, Sango asks Rin(again) about when she was gone.

"I told you all you need to know! I was lost in the woods!"

Wait a second, Rin was lost in the woods... Sesshomaru said a small, teenage girl was following him while he was in the woods...

"Rin," I ask, "While you were in the woods, were you with a tall demon with long silver hair?"

Rin turns red as the four of us stare her down, forcing her to tell the truth.

"Um well, yes..."

"And was there a..." I try to remember Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's conversation. "A 'little green guy'?"

"You mean Jaken?" Rin inquires.

"Um, sure." I reply.

"Yeah..."

"Well, the demon is Inuyasha's brother, Sesshomaru."

"Oh." Rin says. "Wait, how do you know that?"

"I over heard their conversation on the way home from school yesterday. Sesshomaru was walking behind me and Inuyasha came and started talking to him."

"Oh."

Just then, Inuyasha came over, looking embarrassed.

"Um, hi Inuyasha." I say.

"Heyyy Kagome..." Is his reply.

"What's up?"

"Ok, my friends dared me to do this, it was dare, but I'm supposed to ask you out, so how bout it?"

Well, that was unexpected... But what I'm about to do is even more unexpected.

I put on a smile and said, "Sure, why not?"

He looked surprised, then he blushed. "Uh, OK then. I should be expecting an 'I told you so' from Shippo, then." He walked back to his table.

Me friends were staring at me in wonder.

"Um, Kagome?" said Sango.

"What?" I replied.

"Not to be rude or anything, but why did you say yes?"

"Because..." I didn't have an answer for that one. "I have no idea."

Ayame's POV

OMG! We're gonna start filming for the play today!

It's the middle of filming the 3rd scene, and I'm just watching through the camera, bored.

I mean, of course it would be fun when I actually get to do something, but let's face it, this is boring.

Ya know, this play is a lot like our lives...

Have I gone crazy, or is this accurate?

I mean, not the way we're doing it, but...

Kagome's like the teenage girl who fell down the well; the new girl to this strange land. Inuyasha's like the hanyou who was pinned to the tree. Koga's totally the wolf demon who falls in love with Kagome, and I'm the wolf demon who is head-over-heels for him. And of course Sango and Miroku are the demonslayer and monk. Kikyo's like the priestess because she was the one here before Kagome who dated Inuyasha. She and Kagome even look alike! And Rin is the girl who gets lost in the forest, because that actually happened. And that means that the demon that Kagome and Rin were talking about, who is Inuyasha's brother, is... Inuyasha's brother! And Rin was following him!

OH MY GAWD, WE'RE DOING THE MOVIE THE WRONG WAY!

"CUT!" I yell. Everyone turns to look at me. "We're doing the whole play WRONG!"

So how'd you like the chapter? I think it was one of the best so far. Please review and tell me what you think. I'm trying to make up for not updating in a while by updating a lot. I uploaded three chapters yesterday, even though two of them I had written a while ago. I'm NOT giving up on the fanfiction. EVER. It is truly my best one so far.
