Breaking the Shell
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Ouran High School.
VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ: Hello my lovely readers! I was wondering if any of you or another fanfic author you know could do a challenge for me! I've recently been reading Inuyasha and Fushigi Yuugi crossovers and I fell in love I'm even considering writing one of my own soon. If anyone is willing to do this please notify me I would love a pairing between Kagome and multiple characters from Fushigi Yuugi especially one with Tasuki! I haven't seen many of those at all. I would be excited to read where that story would lead, thank you!
A/N: well I was really excited to write this chapter since I'm finally going to introduce Inuyasha into the mix. I might not be updating for a while because the Internet on my laptop isn't working but I'll try to find a way. Anyways please enjoy my latest chapter of Breaking the Shell!

Chapter 12: Inuyasha arrives & Jungle pool?
Sesshomaru rose out of bed just in time to hear banging on the door. He growled when he saw that it was barely five in the morning. Sesshomaru flexed his claws when he walked downstairs. When he reached the bottom of the staircase he saw that Kagome was already dressed for school.
"How is it that you can get up so early Kagome?" Kagome looked at him and then shrugged. "Couldn't sleep. By the way Inuyasha's at the door." Sesshomaru grunted in distaste.
He didn't particularly like the half-breed for a few reasons. The fact that he was human angered him. He didn't like humans and so far the only exception he made was for Haruhi and that was it, the rest of the hosts be damned. Especially the ones who seemed to have taken a liking to his imouto.
The other reason he hated Inuyasha was that he was so brash and rude. He couldn't even properly wield a sword. The final reason that he hated him the most for was that Kagome had taken such a liking to him when she found out she had another brother. He would admit that he was selfish and he definitely didn't like sharing the one thing he cared about most.
He hated the fact that even though Kagome was mean to Inuyasha and would insult him non-stop he could still see the protectiveness in her eyes and that was the biggest reason as to why he loathed his other half-sibling.
Kagome sighed when she saw the dazed expression on Sesshomaru's face and decided to answer the door herself. When she answered an upset Inuyasha was standing there glaring. "To what do we owe this visit Inu-baka?" Inuyasha growled at the nickname and walked in. "Would you quit calling me that Kagome? I'm here because I'm starting school with you today stupid!"
The sound of Inuyasha's voice broke Sesshomaru out of his daydream as he began walking up to Inuyasha, he growled. "Watch your tongue half-breed, before I cut it out for you." Kagome shook her head as they began arguing and went upstairs to get her bag.
After Kagome left Inuyasha turned to Sesshomaru and snarled. "What's your problem you fucking bastard? You act like you have a stick shoved up your ass ever since I became part of the family!" Sesshomaru turned and walked upstairs but before he disappeared he turned his head towards Inuyasha. "It's quite simple mutt, I don't like you and I'm not about to let you take her away from me." Sesshomaru disappeared and left a confused Inuyasha behind. After Sesshomaru finished getting ready the three siblings began walking towards the school.
Kagome turned her cool gaze towards Inuyasha and smirked when she saw his attire. His tie was loosened and the buttons on the top of his shirt were undone. He had his blazer wide open and the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. Inuyasha's shirt wasn't tucked in and he had his hair loose with a black bandana covering his dog-ears. In general he looked like your typical bad boy.
Inuyasha looked at his older sister when he saw her smirking and grunted. "What the hell are you looking at?" Kagome's smirk widened at his response. "Oh nothing outoto it's just that the girls at our school absolutely adore me and Sesshou and I can't help but wonder how they'll react towards you."
Inuyasha's face blanched at her words. He wasn't conceited but he knew he wasn't ugly, quite opposite in fact. Inu demons were prideful in their looks because they knew they were a beautiful race and if what Kagome said was true he would have another fan-club to put up with just like at his old school.
A malicious grin spread over Sesshomaru's face because he knew Inuyasha wasn't exactly good at associating with people, especially girls. Inuyasha began cussing up a storm when he thought about it more.
"By the way Inu-baka you're going to have to start calling me aniki since everyone at school thinks I'm a boy." Inuyasha simply snorted and folded his arms behind his head.
When they finally reached the school Inuyasha tensed when he felt all the girls' ogling him. Some of the girls even fainted seeing all three of them together. "How the hell can you guys stand all these people staring?" Kagome shrugged and kept walking towards the office to get Inuyasha's schedule. Kagome scanned over the classes and saw that he had most classes with her but the rest he was on his own.
Sesshomaru left saying he didn't want hanyou germs stuck on his person. Inuyasha walked with Kagome to their fist class seeing as they had it together. Kagome walked in and sat at her seat while Inuyasha waited to be introduced.
As soon as Kagome reached her desk Haruhi walked up and hugged her. Kagome looked down at Haruhi with soft eyes. "Good Morning Haruhi." Haruhi smiled at her and gave her own good morning. The teacher walked in and coughed after the bell finished ringing. "Class, I would like to introduce a new student. Please welcome Inuyasha!" Inuyasha walked in and glared at everyone.
"Would you like to say a few things to the class?" Inuyasha glared at the teacher and growled. "Hell no! I'm not gonna waste my time on these idiots." The teacher and the students, minus Kagome, looked shocked when he said that.
"Inuyasha refrain from using that language in my classroom! Now take a seat by Kagome Taisho!" Inuyasha 'feh'd' and sat down by his sister. Kagome turned her cold eyes towards Inuyasha. "You made quite the impression Inu-baka." Haruhi and the twins looked over at Kagome in surprise when she spoke so familiarly with the new student.
"Shut up Kagome! I don't give a damn what these people think!" Kaoru and Hikaru's eyes narrowed in jealousy but Inuyasha just seemed oblivious to them.
*******Ouran*High*******
The day had been frustrating but amusing at the same time for Kagome. Inuyasha had been so much trouble for all the teachers but it was finally lunchtime and Kagome decided she would bring Inuyasha with her to the host club. Thankfully they had no school the week after today.
Kagome sat at the base of a tree while Sesshomaru and Inuyasha sat across from her. Inuyasha had been unusually quiet though and even Sesshomaru noticed his odd behavior. "Nee-chan?"
Kagome's eyes widened when Inuyasha spoke. He hadn't called her that since they were children. Kagome swerved her beautiful orbs towards the hanyou as a sign to continue and Sesshomaru stared at Inuyasha in curiosity.
"Why…why didn't you tell me that Kirai treated you like that? Why did you hide all those scars from me? Why didn't you let me protect you!"
Inuyasha was clenching his fist and when he looked up, Kagome's eyes glazed over in regret. Inuyasha's eyes were burning with guilt and he had tears in his eyes that refused to fall.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened when he spotted the tears in his outoto's eyes. Even though he didn't like Inuyasha he felt slightly uncomfortable seeing his usually hardheaded and rough brother cry. Kagome knelt in front of Inuyasha and tweaked his ears through the bandana.
"Inu-baka, we've all had it rough. It seems no child of Touga was meant to be happy. Aniki and I never told you because we didn't want to make things worse for you." Sesshomaru glared at Kagome. "Well I didn't want to make things worse. You already had to deal with being a hanyou and Izayoi's death, I couldn't put such a burden on you."
Kagome smirked at her two brothers. "Besides, how could you possibly protect me? I'm stronger then both you and aniki." Kagome gave them a cocky grin and for once Inuyasha actually smiled. It wasn't a smirk or a sneer but a sincere smile.
Sesshomaru's eyes twinkled with mischief and he looked over at Inuyasha who immediately took the hint. "Is that so imouto? Well then I suppose we'll have to prove how strong we are."
The two brothers stood and Inuyasha cracked his knuckles menacingly. Before Kagome could blink they both tackled her to the ground and she landed with a grunt.
The three siblings began wrestling each other and for the time being they were in their own world away from all their problems and fears.
********Ouran********
The Taisho siblings began walking towards the host club and on their way they were receiving many stares from the students. They were all covered in dirt and grass stains and their clothes were torn all over. They were demons after all and their wrestling match became a bit more violent as it progressed. If you looked close enough you could see some bloodstains here and there on all of them.
Kagome opened the door to the music room and saw that all of the hosts were gone except for the twins and before they could say anything Hikaru and Kaoru raced off with Kagome in their grasp.
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were hot on their heels. The group finally stopped and they were all shoved into a black limo. Kagome glared at the twins in agitation and all she got was two identical smirks in response.
Sesshomaru grunted in annoyance and Inuyasha clenched his fist in preparation to punch the twins in the face. Sesshomaru adjusted himself in the limo and looked over at the twins. "Why exactly are we here? I suggest you answer truthfully before I make you."
The twins laughed nervously before they noticed Inuyasha there. "What are you doing here? You're not in the host club so you have no reason to be in this limo!"
Inuyasha began growling, "You took my aniki so why don't you shut the hell up!" Hikaru and Kaoru's eyes widened when he said that. "You're Kagome's younger brother?" Inuyasha just grunted and turned his head away.
Kagome slid her cold eyes over at the twins. "Now that this matter is settled explain to me why we're here again." The twins looked at each other then over to Kagome. "We're taking you to a water park that Kyouya's family own!"
Kagome's eyes started twitching from irritation. 'This is going to be a long day.'
When they arrived at the water park Kagome noticed that everyone was already inside waiting. As they all steeped out of the limo everyone turned towards Inuyasha in surprise. Inuyasha glared at all of them and snorted.
Honey walked up to Kagome and smiled. "Who is this Kagome?" Kagome's expressionless face turned towards the smaller boy and smirked. "This would be my dear outoto, Inu-baka." Inuyasha growled and was about to jump Kagome till she knocked him upside the head without even looking at him.
Kagome and Sesshomaru made their way towards some chairs while everyone else went to change. Sesshomaru glanced over at Kagome in curiosity wondering if she was going to swim.
As if reading his mind her head lowered and her bangs hid her face. "Aniki you know as well as I do that I can't. Not in front of them. I never want anyone to see again." Inuyasha's eyes saddened when he overheard his sister. He had barely gotten a glimpse of all the scars when she was fighting Kirai and he couldn't help but feel disgust. He thought she was kind but it turned out she was a down right bitch.
Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha for a brief second but then returned his gaze to his most prized possession, Kagome. She turned her cold crimson-gold eyes towards Sesshomaru and let some warmth seep into her gaze showing that she was fine.
Inuyasha glared as he looked at the sun shining in the water park. He sniffed around smelling all sorts of animals and wild vegetation. Inuyasha let out a snort and jumped into one of the trees while keeping a close eye on his older sister.
The Host club members stepped out adorned in their swim trunks. Kagome immediately noticed that Haruhi wasn't there so she walked up to the twins in a calm pace. "Hikaru where is Haruhi?"
Hikaru looked up from talking with his brother and blushed when he realized it was Kagome. "Ah…S-she's in the changing-," before he could finish what he was saying Haruhi stepped out clad in a cute pink swimsuit. Kagome smirked and walked towards her while Haruhi looked away in embarrassment. Kagome grasped her chin and made her look at her. "You look splendid Haruhi." Haruhi couldn't help but blush at the way Kagome said it.
Before Haruhi realized it she was being dragged away by the twins towards Tamaki. "Yo, boss man! Doesn't Haruhi look cute?" Tamaki turned towards Haruhi and he felt his face turn red like a tomato. He turned his head away and let out a cough. He quickly leapt forward with a yellow jacket and began yelling. "A young lady shouldn't be exposing herself in such ways! I can't let those dirty boys look at my daughter!" He quickly covered Haruhi in the yellow jacket and she sighed in annoyance.
Inuyasha watched all this happen in irritation. He quickly picked up a coconut and threw it smack dab in the middle of Tamaki's face. "Shut up will ya! Jeez your worse then the bastard Sesshomaru!"
Tamaki only started brooding in a corner while complaining to Kyouya about how all of Kagome's sibling were so mean to him.
Kagome smirked coldly and laid down on one of the chairs while Sesshomaru went to talk with Haruhi. Kagome glanced at the wave pool when she heard laughter and saw Honey riding on Mori's back" a soft look entered her eyes when she saw just how close the cousins were.
She closed her eyes remembering a day when she was at the beach with Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.
-Flashback-
A six-year-old Kagome was walking around the beach with Inuyasha and Sesshomaru on either side of her.
Inuyasha looked up at Kagome and gave her a goofy grin. "Ne...nee-chan? Can we go in the water please?" Kagome looked down at her outoto and let an empty smile cross her face. "Of course outoto anything for you." Sesshomaru sent a jealous glare towards Inuyasha and tugged his imouto forward with him towards the water while Inuyasha ran to catch up.
As they got in the water smiles managed to cross the broken children as the beautiful waves crashed around them. Inuyasha smiled at Kagome. "Nee-chan can I get a piggy back ride?" Kagome simply nodded towards him and felt the added weight on her back.
They trudged deeper into the water and she smelt some fear coming off Inuyasha. "Do not worry outoto I will protect you now I want to show you something so hold your breath alright?" Inuyasha nodded and prepared himself. Kagome glanced at Sesshomaru and smiled when he sent her a soft look. As soon as a large wave was seen a little ahead all three of them trekked deeper and as the wave was about to hit them Kagome glanced at Inuyasha.
"Alright hold your breath outoto." He did as he was told and they dived down just as the wave came. Kagome tapped Inuyasha on the shoulder as a signal to open his eyes. They stung a bit from the salt water but he quickly overcame it when the sight greeted him.
Above their head the huge wave passed over them not tossing them about like rags in the least. He looked above into the wave and memorized every shape and swirl the wave created above their head. The blue water mystified him as it surrounded him and his siblings. It was as if they were in their own world safe from everything, even a humongous wave.
Kagome glanced at her two brothers and let a small and sorrowful smile grace her young face. She ignored her sad thoughts and looked up at the beautiful wave that managed to entrance all three of them.
As the wave passed they all surfaced for air and walked into the shallower part of the ocean. Kagome looked at Inuyasha when he tugged at her arm. "Nee-chan that wave…it was really pretty." Kagome nodded and sighed when she felt Sesshomaru pat the top of her head in joy.
He wouldn't admit it out loud but that was a beautiful sight. His heart panged in happiness when he glanced at his younger siblings.
Kagome heard their butler calling and she looked down in disappointment. Inuyasha raced ahead and smiled at Kagome. "We should all come here tomorrow nee-chan!" Kagome gave him a grunt and his smile widened accepting his beloved nee-chan's answer.
Kagome locked arms with her aniki and walked forward with him, knowing she would always remember what happened today…
After all, it was the last day the three of them were ever together again.
-End Flashback-
Kagome slowly opened her eyes when she felt Mori's presence in front of her. Mori nodded at her with a pink stain splashed across his face when he saw how relaxed Kagome looked.
Mori took the time to observe her. She was in a loose white V-neck shirt and she was wearing jeans and was barefoot. He couldn't help but blush more at the sight of her in casual clothes. "Ah." Kagome looked up as he began to speak. "What is it Mori-kun?" His hand subconsciously clenched when he looked into Kagome's dull eyes. "Are you going to swim?" 'with me?' but he let the rest of that thought stay in his mind. Kagome's eyes widened slightly but she gracefully stood up. "Sorry Mori but I don't really want to swim." His eyes dropped in slight disappointment before it was quickly replaced with shock when Kagome placed her hand against his cheek and looked at him with her emotionless face. "I'll go get you another drink." As the cold demoness walked away Mori placed a hand on his racing heart.
Sesshomaru, Haruhi, and Mori stared at Honey in amusement as he was running against the wave. Tamaki and the twins were busy having a water gun fight while Kagome walked towards Honey to bring him to Mori as he requested.
Inuyasha was fast asleep on the tree enjoying the feeling of the sun while Kyouya was typing away furiously at his laptop.
Before anyone knew what happened Tamaki had managed to smack right into a totem pole. Kagome's empty eyes turned towards the glowing pole with a sense of dread. Soon alligators came from nowhere and the hosts ran in fear while Sesshomaru and the now awake Inuyasha stared in interest.
Everyone was so distracted from their fear/curiosity of the alligators that no one noticed the giant wave coming towards Honey, no one but Kagome that is.
Mori's eyes widened when he saw the huge wave about to sweep away his cousin. He was about to race after him but managed to slip on a banana peel and terror coursed through him when he realized he wouldn't make it in time.
Kagome acted quickly though and jumped in and shielded Honey's body while they were both swept away from the current and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
Kagome opened her eyes and looked up at the waves that immediately reminded her of that day. Her heart clenched in sorrow but she ignored it and held on to Honey tighter. 'What's wrong with me today? To many emotions.'
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's eyes widened when they witnessed their sister vanish. Anger coursed through Sesshomaru before he walked towards Kyouya with restrained rage. He grabbed Kyouya by the collar and lifted him in the air so his feet dangled above the ground. "Where. Is. My. Imouto!"
A flash of fear entered his eyes before he calmly answered. "I'm not sure but seeing as to how this place was built she should end up in a pool somewhere in this park." Sesshomaru growled and threw him to the ground. "For your sake you better hope my imouto is unharmed."
Mori looked down at his hands from his place on the floor. Fear and guilt swept through him at the thought of being unable to defend Mitzukuni and it multiplied a hundred fold when he saw Kagome jump in after him. His precious Kagome. The one he wanted to be his could be out there hurt and it was all his fault.
Inuyasha cast an angry and worried glanced towards the water where his sister once was. He thought about racing off to look for her after all his hanyou speed would help him find her in no time but then he realized he couldn't expose the fact that they were demons. He assumed Sesshomaru thought of the same thing seeing as to he hadn't turned into his beast form and raced through the park. 'Che. Stupid Kagome you have to go and worry me now.'
Tamaki looked at Kyouya as he pulled out a map and jumped forward suddenly. "Come along my servants! Time to execute the: RESCUE KAGOME AND HONEY PLAN!"
Everyone sighed at his attitude but looked ahead with determination. They were going to find them no matter what.
*********Ouran********
Kagome rose from the water with a smiling Honey in her arms. "Thank you Kagome for saving me!" Kagome nodded at Honey as they began walking through the forest trying to find the others. Honey quickly jumped on her back and laughed. "We'll find them soon don't worry Gome-chan!" Kagome snorted and smirked, she could easily find them if she used their scents.
Kagome began to discreetly sniff the air when suddenly rain pelted them and Kagome's face turned blank. 'Shit. So much for that plan now their scents are washed away.'
Those exact words crossed Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's mind when Kagome's scent disappeared because of the rain. Inuyasha cursed but looked at the determined Tamaki when he said they would wait under the resting place till the rain died down.
Inuyasha growled in rage. "There's no way in hell I'm just gonna wait here! This is a waste of time!" Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha signaling him to shut up. "Silence! We will wait. Kagome and the boy should be fine."
Mori glanced at the falling rain and his heart clenched in agony. 'Kagome, Mitzukuni please be safe.' Haruhi looked over at Mori in worry and walked up to him. "Mori don't worry Kagome is extremely tough and so is Honey I'm sure they'll be fine."
Mori nodded in agreement and placed his hand on her head as a sign of gratitude. Kyouya quickly pulled out his cell phone and dialed a certain number. After a few words he hung up and looked at the awaiting host club.
"My father's police squad are in the process of searching for them now so they will most likely be found soon."
They all nodded in understanding and sat waiting anxiously.
$$$$$$$$Host Club$$$$$$$$$
Kagome glanced at Honey's sleeping form as she kept walking through the jungle area. Her head perked up when she heard movement and footsteps. A second later she was surround by heavily armored police with guns and tazers.
Honey woke up when he heard all the commotion and as soon as the happened she heard one of the policemen speak. "Target acquired. I repeat target acquired. Seems to be help hostage by raven/silver-haired person." Kagome's eyes hardened when she realized they were talking about her.
It seemed that when Kyouya was giving the police a description he completely forgot to mention Kagome.
One of the police officers were about to grab Honey before she swiftly broke his arm and kicked him away. Then all hell broke loose.
All the officers attacked her at once and Kagome looked up when Honey called her name and because of that distraction one of the policemen tazed her in the back. Kagome growled and punched him right in the throat.
Red began to seep into her eyes as she turned to one of the officers their eyes widened in fear and before anyone realized it he raised his gun in terror and shot her right in the shoulder. Kagome didn't even flinch having felt much worse pain in her life. She continued to beat the officers mercilessly while completely ignoring the blood that flowed from her shoulder.
Honey's eyes narrowed before he yelled. "GET AWAY FROM GOME-CHAN!"
Mori's eyes widened when he heard the gunshot. Everyone raced out of the resting place and towards the noise. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru sped forward in a rage when they caught the scent of Kagome's blood.
As they arrived at the scene they saw a pile of unconscious police officers and Honey crying on Kagome, who just looked over at the group with empty eyes. Mori rushed forward and tried to soothe his cousin. Kagome stood and silently ran her fingers through Honey's hair telling him that it was okay. Honey looked up at Kagome sniffled. "But your hurt Gome-chan!"
Kagome snorted and looked him in the eyes. "This wound is nothing." Honey nodded in acceptance and climbed on Mori's shoulders. Mori looked at Kagome and his eyes widened when he saw all the blood staining her white shirt he took a step towards her and guilt consumed his eyes. 'She's hurt…I couldn't save her and now she's hurt. N-no this is all my fault!'
Kagome looked at the stoic male besides her and before she could say one word Sesshomaru rushed towards her along with Inuyasha. The bullet was still lodged in her shoulder so Sesshomaru gently tugged her closer towards him. Inuyasha glared at Sesshomaru and growled. "You better not hurt her more you stupid Popsicle stick!" Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha but chose to ignore him and continue what he was doing.
He dug his clawed hand into Kagome's wound and pulled the bullet out. Before anyone could see the claws he disguised them again. Haruhi gasped when she saw that and what worried her even more was that Kagome didn't even wince she just stared ahead with an emotionless façade.
Sesshomaru quickly tore the sleeve from Inuyasha shirt, while ignoring his yell, and wrapped Kagome's injury.
The twins quickly appeared on either side of her and wrapped their arms around her while teasing her. To everyone else it looked like they were just goofing off but the way Hikaru and Kaoru tightened their grip around her, she knew they were worried. Kagome glared at Kyouya and lightly bonked him on the head. "You know you forgot to mention me to the police you idiot."
Kyouya smirked at her knowing she was just fine. "Did I now? My mistake." Kagome smirked in amusement at him knowing how twisted he could be.
Haruhi walked up to Kagome and hugged her close. "I was worried about you Kagome." The demoness looked down at her with a softened expression. "I'm fine Haruhi. I always will be."
Tamaki barged forward and grabbed Haruhi away from Kagome. "YOU'RE NOT TAKING MY DAUGHTER AWAY FROM ME!" Sesshomaru grunted. 'That ningen is an idiot.'
They all began their walk back to the entrance to go home. While they were walking Kagome noticed Mori's downcast form and walked towards him. She stopped him by grabbing his arm. Mori looked down at the girl he so desperately desired and looked away with guilt. "I'm sorry Kagome…I-I couldn't reach you in time." Kagome just smirked and grabbed his large hand and placed it on her cheek. Mori was confused but his eyes widened when she kissed the palm of his hand. "You did nothing wrong baka. Remember that." It was short and simple but it made him feel so much better.
Mori came closer to Kagome and placed a kiss on her forehead. 'I will always protect you Kagome.'
An unnoticeable blush crossed Kagome's face as the tugged on Mori so they could catch up with everyone else. Mori intertwined his hand with her smaller one and walked with her. Kagome glanced at their hands with a soft face.
'Mori…what are you doing to me?'
