Chapter 11 (with Kagome & Inuyasha)
Kagome looked up as she finished looking around at something. "I wonder how Rin is doing in her home" she whispered. "I can't believe that he'd get so angry over that" Inuyasha sighed "You would too" Kagome said a frail smile on her face. "I know, I just feel so guilty, I want it to be off my chest for once" he sighed too proud to let his head hang down for a little while.
"I know Inuyasha, it was one of the things we should've avoided...he's right though we should have called him after that" Kagome whispered "What was there to call him about? I couldn't find him anyway...he was gone for so long...He wouldn't even tell us where he had went, that it was more important...how was I supposed to explain that to someone I had just come to call my brother?" Inuyasha snapped back as Kagome looked up to him with a look that would make any person shiver as his voice faded slowly becoming sadder and more regretful.
"I know, you where angry and sad and frustrated but it's been so long...we've got to try to move on" Inuyasha said looking away. Kagome stared at the floor as minutes of silence paced between them. "It used to be this way..." Kagome said whispering without noticing. "What do you mean?" he replied "when we'd argue or you'd go off to Kikyo...I know I shouldn't have been angry but it just felt so...wrong..." Kagome whispered as she found herself in sudden embrace.
"Kagome? I chose you, and I would again...that time was confusing...but I knew somewhere deep inside of my own heart I would choose you all over again and again if I could...please don't be upset with me?" Inuyasha said in one of his few-but-romantic moments, as Kagome nodded.
"Come on, he asked us to check on Rin after school" Kagome smiled as Inuyasha nodded. "Why isn't he coming?" Inuyasha asked. "He said he'd be trying to track down, whoever wants to take Rin's life this time and why" Kagome smiled as Inuyasha nodded stuffing his arms into the other arm's sleeve as he followed Kagome down the streets.
"Oh my gosh" Kagome said suddenly stopping her hand raised to her mouth as she stared up at the smoke coming from a little ways out of town. "Inuyasha..." she whispered pointing towards it as he looked up."That's Rin's school" she whispered as he nodded grabbing Kagome and soon they had made their way to the school a little ways out of the town.
There where aisles of people in rows counted outside. "Where missing an entire class!" Someone shouted as a ton of people ran outside, all screaming their heads off in an utter mass panic as the teachers got a hold of them putting them in their assigned positions as they said things like they had to get as far away as possible.
"Where are the last two?" One of the teachers shouted doing a double check as the teacher swung her head to look back at the door everything puffing up in smoke as fire began to explode even more out of the doors. "Rin! Melody?!" she shouted running towards the doors as she was knocked back onto her back.
"Why are you just standing there?" Inuyasha asked starring down at her instead of helping her up. "Inuyasha that's rude!" Kagome shouted running towards him. "Kind sir, have you seen two girls they look like this" 'Kagura' said pulling out a class photo and pointing towards two girls who where giving each other bunny rabbit ears laughing hysterically, Melody only slightly taller than Rin as Rin was on her tip toes a wide smile plastered to her face.
"I can't find them anywhere! The problem is their the only orphans of my class so I feel responsible for taking care of them...I would just hate it if no one where looking" she whispered. "That doesn't sound like Kagura I bet she's an imposter" Inuyasha said as Kagome pushed him away. "I'll explain later" Kagome rolled her eyes staring at the picture.
"Oh yes...I think I saw those two just this morning, they where in a car of some sort on their way to school" Kagome lied as Kagura sighed looking back towards the doors. "Come on let's go" Kagome said sneaking around to the back as they busted down a door to the cafeteria. "Was there some form of struggle here?" Kagome wondered aloud as she looked down at spilled knives, forks, even some spoon containers...food smashed a crossed the room and dropped on the floor like someone trying to defend themselves or a massive food fight. "Yeah, look here...first lunch doesn't start for another hour" Inuyasha said reading the sign.
"Alright better hurry" Kagome said pulling a folded up bow from out of her back pack. "Why do you need that thing? This is just a fire?" Inuyasha said his nose getting clouded with a strong extremely powerful smoke smell. "I don't know instincts." She whispered as they headed down the hallways, checking for anyone trapped in the building. "You know the minute you feel faint your leaving" Inuyasha said suddenly as Kagome rolled her eyes "you first" she replied as she kept walking till they found a door that was kicked down with a giant foot mark inside it, kicked down from the outside.
"Have you seen who we are looking for?" a person asked towards a girl, who was trying to keep her composure but tears rimmed her eyes as the fire swirled around her ankles rising every time they denied answering them. "And who would you be looking for again? You see I have a very short term memory" she said her voice wavering defying the face she put on as Kagome reached for the door being pulled back. "You go for her now and they will sure as kill her" Inuyasha whispered as they watched the interrogation.
"This girl" the woman shouted again pulling a picture out of her pocket. "hmm, such an old picture...and the painting's really bad...does that girl have black or blue hair?" she asked her hands fiddling with the rope that ironically tied her to the science labs water system as they reached to pull them looking for the looses and easiest place to pull it.
"Are you stupid?! Your life is in danger! Stop protecting her! I saw you help her out of the window before we left!" the woman shouted as she started leaning on the table. "You know I'm really tired, and all this smoke might be getting to my head" the girl begun laughing her almost pink hair draping over her shoulders.
The woman looked back towards the girl. "Inuyasha I think I figured out who that is" Kagome whispered as they looked around the corner. "Isn't that Melody, Rin's friend in there?" he asked as Kagome looked up, her oversensitive emotions either getting the best of her or she either realized something extremely important.
"Inuyasha, that's our great-great granddaughter" she whispered as Inuyasha flinched, he hadn't bothered to check in on his family in a while, since they where supposed to be dead by old age.
(Author interruption-note Kagome's age is pretty much like it was at the end of the series, yet I thought it'd be cool to add her in here somewhere, and I figured other than that she'd either be dead or an extremely old lady, so she's that age, same as Inuyasha...I don't know why, but I just did it, i'm the author I can do whatever I want MWHAHAHAH)
"Now tell me, where your friend is and I might consider letting you go and join the rest of the students...enjoy your normal life stuff like that" the woman smiled.
The woman stood there in a light blue t-shirt, and a dark blue pair of jeans, her even darker than blood red hair cascading down her back to almost past waist length her boots rose to just above her knees, and she was able to be compared to the words beyond beautiful. And her eyes appeared as if furious yet peering deep inside your soul knowing every single way to wreck your head. "Please darling? I'm pretty sure you don't want to be here any longer either" she laughed just sitting there playing with the science tools like the fire didn't affect her.
"Tell me where is she?" the woman who looked like she was about mid-30's said slowly picking up a knife from underneath the cabinets, as Melody gulped tears pricking her eye. "What is it with you? I've threatened you...I've done everything in the book except kill you and yet you remain silent and giving me stupid answers!" the woman shouted moving towards her one foot gracefully in front of the other.
As she cupped Melody's chin in her hand the knife pressed towards her neck "either way your going to kill me...loyal to the end...I guess that's an interesting way to die" Melody whispered a smile on her face as tears slowly ran down her face almost immediately evaporating in the heat that was melting all of the science tools.
"Are you not scared or are you stupid?" the woman asked as Melody got a cut that was spreading rapidly "no, I'm pretty scared" she said as Melody closed her eyes and grinded her teeth together struggling not to feel any pain. "Back away from her" Kagome shouted loosing it as she pulled a bow releasing it at the woman.
Another coming towards her extremely fast piercing her arm as a purple aura exploded around her. "Get away from her right now!" Kagome said slamming her foot down in the center of the room as flames where thrown Kagome's way Inuyasha immediately stepping in front of her. "Why'd you do that?' he snapped angry that she had endangered her own life."I couldn't stand by and watch anymore" Kagome pleaded. "Oh a family reunion that's good, so I could easily ask you two where she is...I mean your so-many-greats later granddaughter seems to be horrible with manners." The woman mocked as she turned to them Melody's eyes fading in and out of concentration.
"Leave" Kagome practically growled at the intruder into Melody's life. "I'm delusional" Melody begun laughing to herself as the ropes finally came undone thanks to her inheritance of amazingly powerful spiritual powers. "I could fight her, I needed several more minutes that's all" Melody explained as Kagome let her land in her lap, as Melody collapsed seeming practically asleep as she struggled to breathe inhaling the fumes, pink hair gathered around Kagome.
"You think she'll know where to find Rin?" Inuyasha asked looking down at her. "Melody first, I know we're responsible for Rin and you don't want what happened last time to happen again, but..." Kagome stopped "I understand" Inuyasha said helping Kagome and Melody up as Melody was still unconscious when they got outside.
"We found her!" Kagome shouted as ambulances and other people rushed over. "It's not right that we finally find one of our descendants after they all move away, and we have to give her right back to these people" Inuyasha said bitterly as Kagome shook her head. "We'll get her back...we'll get her back Inuyasha" she whispered "how?"
"Did you know as of last week, Melody's an orphan?" was Kagome's only reply. "We can just tell these people we are her family and have her like that" she smiled at him as he nodded. "She's in the hospital now, come on we've got to find Rin...she's not here anymore" Kagome replied.
