Chapter 21- no-Face

I decided to take 3 days off to go back to my time, to think I guess. Just to understand what really happened in this past let me go quite easily. Did he need to think too?

I opened my door to my room and found everything in the same place as I left it not to long ago. Setting my bag down. I touched the small bottle that contained pieces of the jewel around my neck. It must have been so hard for him, losing her then seeing her coming back so…evil. I bet she was such a nice person before she passed. And I got mad because of something so stupid it was probably still mad at me, though he looked so worried when I was injured.

"Does he actually care." Somewhere deep inside I hoped the once demon I thought was the worst now has part of my heart.

"Why am I always late?' I gasped running up the school steps ever since that fateful day, of being transported back in time my schedule has gone haywire I can no longer keep track of anything. I haven't been to school in over a week, I don't even know how much things I have missed. Well ones thing for sure. I don't miss the present kikyo one bit.

I stopped at my classroom door. Why am I bothering to go in I should just wait till next class. Instead of being embarrassed in front of all the students.

That was what I did; I sat outside waiting for the bell to ring. I wonder who I would get along better with kikyo from the future or kikyo from the past. on second thought I wouldn't want to get along with them at all.

"Haha, don't want to get shoved in a locker or shot with an arrow again." I laughed.

"Bzzzzz…oh the bell." I got up swung my book bag over my shoulder and headed to class.

"Bow" the teacher said. I sighed taking a seat. it was so loud in here, its quiet in the feudal era, peaceful if you ignore all the demons.

"That party was so great did you see rico,boy was he drunk ha-ha" I closed my eyes ,trying to zone out the talking. But I couldn't zone out talking when it was right up to my ear

"Hey freak!" I jumped 10 feet in the air.

"Gah...whoa huh." I looked up kikyo was looking down at me amused. I frowned

'What?" I said to her.

"Oh just wondering where you were last night, you weren't invited were you." I glared im sorry I wasn't invited to your stupid party but I was busy healing from an arrow wound that pierced through my shoulder thank you very much.

"No I was not and why do you care." I said.

"Oh so sorry not everyone can get invited. Well not you at least." She snickered and went back to her seat.

Stupid mother son of a…if I could just get my hands on her I would I held back she wasn't worth it at all.

She kept flipping her hair every 2 minutes just to prove something.

"Huh…" I looked up at her closely something felt wrong…an aura? I leaned to the side to get a better look at on her face….some

"Higurashi!"

"Huh...Ahh" I fell out of my seat from leaning to far. There was silence then laughter. I looked up at kikyo and froze her eyes where black the whites where all gone. A demon? In this day and age but how? I blinked her eyes changed back to normal. Was I just imaging things?

"What are you staring at me for?" she snapped

"Aren't you a demon...?" I said, crap I shouldn't have said that.

'What did you just say?" She glared.

"Nothing sorry im not feeling well goodbye." I grabbed my bag and ran out of the classroom.

What was wrong with me, im seeing things that shouldn't be there, it's not normal, well what is normal now eh… Still it seemed so real. I looked down at the scuff on my left shoe. I wonder what inuyasha would make of this.

"Oi you're losing your mind baka!" I puffed out my cheeks. Shaking my head I smiled to myself yes he would say that.

"Ah why am I thinking about him right now?" I said .this is not the time I could get detention for running out of class like no and it would go on my perminate record

"ahh no good I don't want to flunk high school!' I whined.

After school

"Should I go back….still it hasn't even been a day yet and I told him I wouldn't be back till man."

"Hey freak!" I lifted my head up. Who was calling me a freak?

"You called me something in class today!" kikyo yelled at my face. She was alone.

"Heh, i...Didnt call you anything." I said.

"You called me a DEMON!" She roared. Yes she actually roared the pavement shook beneath me.

"Whoa." I put my hands out to balance myself. I looked up at her

"A shikon shard" I gasped on her forehead but how. Did it lay dormant all this time?

"You have them give them to me." She launched at me I gasped tackling me to the ground she grabbed for my neck I pulled back trying to loosen her grip

"Let go, kikyo let go!" I screamed kicking my legs. She was persistent. I narrowed my eyes

'I am not kikyo" my eyes went wide that was not her voice, that means she's being controlled.

"Fear me." Kikyo lay limp on top of me

"Eh?" I pushed her off. A dark cloud impended over her; a face appeared, no not a face. a mask… A no-face…

The cloud moved around me. It was like breathing in smoke. I covered my mouth I have to do something or ill die here. I rolled out of the smoke. And ran a clear view of it. How can I get a hold of that shard in his forehead I have nothing to defend myself with. And inuyasha isn't here to protect me.

"Gah I don't need him to protect me." I said I can do this im not weak! Im the reincarnation of kikyou, I can do better then run away.

"Ahh but how!"

"It's getting closer" the demon came towards me all I could do was dodge it until I had an idea.

"Give it to me!" It came after me again, this time hitting me in the side.

"Ahhhh!" I fell and rolled against the ground. I looked up at I need to smash that mask. I picked up a rock that I landed on.

"Demon be gone!" I screamed smashing the rock against it. The mask cracked then shattered. I was flown back forcefully. Landing face first I moaned this is so not my day

"The jewel!" I gasped looking up, it disappeared the demon. The shard was laying on the ground. I picked it up

"I did it, I got a shard on my own" I kikyo! I ran back to were I last saw her she was getting up off the ground

"Kikyo are you alright?" I said kneeling down beside her.

"Let go of me you freak!" she pushed me aside.

"Alrighty then I see your fine have a nice day"

It seems that my face got scratched up a bit and my hands were bleeding but I managed to stop that by using a restroom on the way home. My face still looked a bit messy but at least it wasn't bleeding anymore, now I have a good reason for staying here 2 more days if inuyasha seen me like this I don't know what he would do. Though of course I should rub it in his face that I got a shard all by myself ho-hum!

"ahh my eye!' I yelled at the mirror in my bathroom. There was a big bruise under it from were I fell on my face yesterday. I couldn't face inuyasha like this even if I put an eye patch on and told him it was Halloween! Make up make up that will do it ahha! I ran into my room and nearly fell was sitting on my floor looking up at me.

'What are you doing here I told you i would be back tomorrow." I moved my face away trying to hide the evidence.

'Feh I was bored.
"So you came to annoy me I see." I mumbled pretending to fix up my desk which was already in neat order.

"What happened to your eye" he said in a calm voice. Oh crap

"Eh my eye? Oh my eye! Hahaha I fell you know me haahhahahaha!' I laughed like and idiot.

"Can't even let you out of my sight for a day can I.'

"What?

'Nothing…"

"Alright well I guess I can go over now." I mumbled opening my closet to take out my already packed bag. There really was no point in staying here my dad wasn't here and kikyou would have it out for me tomorrow. I looked over at him ,he was watching me I smiled slightly, And I also wanted to be with inuyasha more.

"Let's go" He said standing up.

"Yeah" I nodded following him. I do think I belong on the other side with him more then I do here. and I don't mind one bit.
