The True Blues of High Schools

This is the 18th chapter and I suppose everyone wants to know why I start all my chapters with that particular phrase. Well, that was going to be the original name for this story and till this very chapter I still am not sure whether or not to change the chapter. Well to all my darling fans, on with the story…

Chapter 18: Meeting Tensions

Sango opened the door and motioned them to come in. Inuyasha and Kagome looked around to see all sorts of decorations high and low. They were mistletoes much to Inuyasha's annoyance. Kagome saw that Shippou in his flying shape was putting up decorations all over the tree.

"Shippo-Chan!" He looked over and Kagome and landed. He went back to his original form. Kagome walked over to him and gave him a hug. Inuyasha began growling and Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Shippou-Chan, meet Inuyasha my new boyfriend." Inuyasha crossed his arms and 'Keh'ed.

"Not very friendly huh?"

"Not in the least bit, but anyway. How are you enjoying it here? Glad that you can 'sit' and relax? I know I like being able to 'sit' and relax." Inuyasha's face was flat in Sango's carpet. He was muttering to himself.

"What's that Inu? You want to come and 'sit' on the couch with Shippou-Chan and me? Come on in and 'SIT' down." Inuyasha was a now in a small crater imprinted of him. Once the spell wore off, Inuyasha started muttering something that sounded much like 'evil wench', and went to sit next to Kagome. Shippou looked at Kagome with laughter in his eyes.

"So Shippou-Chan, you gonna enroll in school or you going to get a job?"

"Well, I have been training so that I can try out for a scholarship to your school early. So I haven't been sitting very much." Inuyasha flinched at the statement but said nothing.

Miroku was sitting in the house with his adopted father and his family. Miroku looked around and felt as if he were in the company of strangers. He was bored and looked at the snow falling outside; he sighed.

"You know if you want to spend Winter break with your friends you can still go." Miroku looked up and smiled.

"That wouldn't be right."

"Come off it. You don't need to be around drunks and their strange families." His cheeks were rosy and flushed. He was already drunk. Miroku shook his head. He took out a notepad, put it in plain sight so that his surrogate father could see it, and left a note for him knowing where he was.

Miroku took his packed bag and left with his car. Sango had given him her address in case of anything. He looked down at the address as he filled up his tank. (A/n: Wow, he has a little money on him huh?) Miroku started driving towards his destination, which was about 50 miles away.

Sango, Kagome and Shippo were laughing when Sango's phone started beeping. Sango looked down to see that Miroku had text messaged her. Sango looked at Kagome. "Kago-Chan, Miroku is on his way here."

"Nani? I thought he was spending Christmas with his family."

"Guess not."

"Chotto Matte."

"Nani?"

"You gave him your address!" Kagome stared at her in disbelief, "You are crazy."

"Am I? You brought your boyfriend with you."

"It better than giving him my address. Speaking of which, where is Kohaku?"

"He's at your house with Souta."

"Are you coming by and spending the holiday with us or are you going to stay here?"

"Well after Miroku gets here, Shippo, me, and him can get up to your house. I'm sure Souta will be happy to see Shippou considering he was supposed to be dead," said Sango flatly.

"What are getting upset with me for?"

"I'm not upset with you but you make it seem like you're the only one with a boyfriend here."

"That's not what I mean and you know that. I am just surprised that you gave him your address."

"You know what Kago-Chan," Sango said smugly, "try caring about my safety in other places? Did you care about it during the fire or how about Jake's?" Sango covered her mouth after saying it. She knew she hurt Kagome's feelings. Kagome was shaking. She ran out of the house and away from Sango. She masked her scent and made herself invisible to the naked eye.

Kagome ran to a place only she knew about. It was a small wooded area of the park. There was a clearing in the middle where there was surrounded by trees. She ran to middle to catch her breath and relax. Tears were in her eyes.

'How could you have said such a thing Sango?'

'How could she say such a thing?'

'Who's there? Could you be--?'

'How could dear Dear Sango-Chan say something like that?'

'Leave me alone. I don't know what you are but stay out of my mind.'

'One problem, I am you.' Images flashed before Kagome's mind.

'Get out of me head.'

'How can I?'

'Stop talking to me, you are not me.'

'I'm not? I know you very well Kagome-Chan. You know that I am you. Only I can stay in your mind this long before you put barriers up. How else could I get in undetected?'

'Liar. I won't believe you.' The voice flashed more images in Kagome's mind. This time they were clear. They were of Kagome's friends and family.

'What do you want from me?'

'I want you. I want your power. I want your body.' Just then a giant youkai came and grabbed Kagome's body undetected. Kagome was still arguing with the voice.

'I won't let you have me that easily.'

'Correction Kagome. You body is already gone from wherest you left it.'

'Well then I guess I will have to say sayonara to you then.'

'Not so fast.'

'Ja ne.' Kagome came out of her sleeping state. The youkai had her over his shoulder. Kagome started squirming under the giant's grip. As his grip tightened Kagome smirked. She let the tears in her eyes fall on his massive shoulder. The giant youkai hissed in pain dropping Kagome. Kagome fell in a graceful landing. The youkai roared as his left shoulder became immobile.

"You see those burns. That's the burn from my attack called miko tears of fire. It burns through to your muscles making your arm immobile." The monster roared and came charging at her. Kagome shook her head. She squeezed her necklace and her bow and arrows became full sized.

"They really should warn idiots like you." Kagome let an arrow fly and the giant disintegrated. The only thing left was a bone.

"I'll take that with me." She picked up the bone piece and walked back through the forest.

"So what do you think Lieutenant General?" said Ah.

"I think she will be a great addition to the force." The lieutenant was looking out the window into the city.

"And her partner?" said Un.

"The same. There is something special about this group. I want you to continue to test them."

"Demo Lieutenant General, they are starting to suspect." Said Ah. The Lieutenant General turned around and proceeded to smack him when Un stood in front.

"We may take orders from you but the Chief is still your boss." The lieutenant General's eyes narrowed dangerously. Un kept eye contact with his piercing emerald greenish gold eyes. The Lieutenant General sighed and turned right back around.

"Very well, next time test the partner."

"Lieutenant General…"

"That's an order. You are dismissed." The mysterious person sat down in his chair. The Lieutenant General pressed a button on the phone.

"Yes Lieutenant."

"Janet, send another operative out to challenge her partner."

"Hai, General-sama."

Kagome came back to Sango's house with the piece of bone in hand. Sango opened the door and hugged Kagome.

"Sorry about me blowing up like that."

"Don't worry about it." Kagome handed Sango the bone. "Here, it's a present from THEY."

"Testing again are they?"

"Yep. I have a feeling they will test you next. I still think that they are part of the syndicate. Either that or the CIA but who cares its an honor that they are trying to scout us." They walked back into the living room.

"Inu, you haven't said a word the whole time."

"Keh."

"I'm sorry Inu but 'Keh' is not a word."

"Wenches should know their place."

"Well your place is in the ground. SIT!" Inuyasha was falling face flat onto the ground when the doorbell rang. Sango got out of her seat and opened the door. Miroku was standing there with a duffel bag.

"Hey babe!" He smiled as Sango shyly through her arms around his neck. Miroku came through the door as Inuyasha's face crashed into the ground.

"I see, Inuyasha is being a jerk again. You'd think he would be nicer now that him and Kagome are a couple." He dropped his duffel bag beside Inuyasha.

"So can I stay here?"

"Who the hell are you?" Shippou came into the room and looked Miroku up and down. "You had better not hurt her or I will find you and kick your ass." Miroku looked at Shippou strangely.

"And who are you?" Tension was thick and glares were being exchanged between them. Kagome stood up.

"Miroku, meet Shippou-Chan, the last member of our group. He's like me and Sango's little brother. Shippou-Chan this is Sango's boyfriend, Miroku." Inuyasha was standing up dusting off his clothes.

"Oi Miroku, what are you doing here?"

"My relatives told me to go spend time with my friends instead of them and their drunkness." Sango and Kagome giggled. Inuyasha sighed.

"Well isn't this just fun? One big happy reunion, all we need is wimpy wolf and Red and we'll have everyone oh I just can't wait." Inuyasha's sarcasm had been bothering Kagome. This was the last straw, Kagome's eyes narrowed.

"Excuse us, everyone I need to discuss something with Inuyasha here." Sango sighed.

"Okay, minna to the basement." Miroku looked confused but Shippo and Sango headed for the basement quick and in a hurry. When they reached the bottom of the steps, Sango sighed.

"Kagome's upset with Inuyasha though I am not really sure why. I suppose it has something to do with Inuyasha's smug behavior since he came." They heard a loud thump upstairs.

"Shouldn't we be worried about her?"

"I think its Inuyasha you should worry about." Shippo 'hmphed'. "He's a real asshole."

"Shippo-kun, such language is not appropriate for your age."

"Neither is it for yours but you taught me anyway." Sango turned red in embarrassment.

"That doesn't mean you should use it." Another thud came from upstairs and the purring from downstairs made everyone jump.

"Oh, there you are Kirara. I was wondering where you were." The cat with two tails purred as Sango picked her up. She stroked her hair softly.

"This is my cat. She's special because she can make herself big enough for all three of us to ride and she can fly." Miroku looked at the cat in awe.

"Its rare to find a fire-cat like that even in the underground."

"So do you have a reason for acting like this?" Kagome was enraged and wanted a decent answer from him. To keep from hitting him she was summoning things to hit. The thumps were her 'sitting' Inuyasha.

"I came up true because I'm always alone during the holidays but I thought of it as a chance to spend time with you and your family. To see what kind life you live." Inuyasha was all flustered, upset, and shaking from Kagome's constant badgering. Kagome went back to normal and sighed.

"I'm sorry for over reacting."

"Damn right, you should be. Look what you did to the place."

"Shut-up just SHUT-UP! Don't make feel worse than I already do. Let me clean up."

"Keh." Inuyasha sat on the couch as Kagome used her powers to clean up the mess made. 'I guess I deserved that.' She thought as she finished cleaning up. She went towards the basement door.

"Its okay to come out now."

"So did you kill him or is he just unconscious?" Kagome grinned.

"Neither." Sango started grinning too.

"Oh don't tell me you cremated him." Kagome giggled.

"No, he's alive and well sitting on the couch." Sango giggled.

"I didn't know," Sango said coming up the steps, "You never can tell with you." The rest of them came up the stairs cautiously looking around.

"Oh for God's sakes, I wasn't creating a war up here. I was just getting some frustrations off my chest." Miroku smiled slyly.

"They look the same to me." Miroku was grinning to Sango's disgust. She turned and smacked him. "You wound me Sango, you know you're the only one for me." He then proceeded to grope her. Sango smacked him across the other cheek.

"Won't you ever learn?" Shippo looked around at all of them.

"What do they teach you guys at that school?" Kagome and Sango laughed at Shippo's statement but the guys looked confused.

"Did we just miss something?" said Miroku looked confused.

"Keh, I don't know but this is going to be a weird vacation."
