The Forbidden Child
Ch. 12
InuYasha stopped mid growl when I stood up. Everyone stared at me.
"Kiriyai where are you going?" Kaede said.
I sighed "Mom, if you haven't forgotten, I have school in...one hour."
Mom almost dropped her clay cop. "Kiriyai why didn't you remind me sooner?!"
I shrugged. I didn't really want to remind her honestly.
"School?" Shippo groaned. "She goes to school just like you did?"
"Yes, it's mandatory in present day Japan." I said sighing. "Do you have school here?"
"We have something like what you call 'school', but it is not like a building that your mother used to describe. Parents just pass down their knowledge to their children."
"See why can't we do that?" I huffed crossing my arms.
"I'm certainly not teaching you Calculus." My mom said as InuYasha helped her up.
"What?" Shippo said tilting his head. One ear flattened against his head and one stuck up. I almost squealed it was so cute. My ears never looked that adorably attractive.
"Don't worry about it, it's difficult." I said making a face. "And horrible."
Shippo shrugged. "It can't be that bad."
"Oh it can." I said and putting my hands on my hips. "I've been doing this longer than you have."
"I bet." Shippo smiled, showing off his fangs. How come I never looked like that when I smiled...if I smiled. It was like he was more attractive in every way. I mean I KNOW we were different species but this was getting ridiculous. I was obviously born in the wrong era.
"Alright you two, let's go Kiriyai." Mom said tugging at my arm. I glared at her but followed her out of the hut.
.
"Geez mom why do I have to go to school today?" I said as she shoved me gently in front of the well.
"Because I'm not going to have you barely scrape by like I did...or spend that much money on uniforms and shoes." Mom said shaking her head.
"What?" I said, squinting in confusion.
"Nothing, nothing let's just go." Mom said. InuYasha stood behind her worriedly.
"Do we know if it's going to stay open?" InuYasha said looking at my mom like...like a scared child. He didn't want to lose her again.
"I...I can't explain it but it's just a feeling. I know it'll stay open." Mom said kissing him and then jumping into the Well.
I made a face and followed her into the timeless abyss.
As soon as I stepped foot onto the other side my mom literally dragged me into the house, combed my hair, and made sure I was ready for school. I was pulling on my brown loafers when InuYasha saw the outfit I was wearing.
"It looks like yours Kagome." InuYasha said, looking at a spare outfit that was hanging up.
"They haven't changed the uniforms at all. I guess they like the style." Mom said handing me my backpack. "Now go on! Don't be late and..oh here's your headband."
My ears flattened as I placed the thick headband over my demon ears. I fixed my long hair over my face so people wouldn't be able to see IF I had human ears or not. I hated the headband though, having to keep my demon ears hidden. I had gotten used to it though, since I've worn it since forever.
"Thanks mom...I'll see you after school!" I said and ran from the house and down the steps. I walked normally down the crowded road and then into a deserted alleyway with a fence on both sides. I jumped up onto one of the fences and then jumped to the other one, gaining speed. I ran faster and rebounded off a power pole before landing at the end of the alley. I had entered the the school's courtyard when the bell chimed. Oh no.
