I lay in my room looking up at the ceiling. This assignment was becoming a pain in the butt. Although it's only been hours we still hadn't found a topic that we both would be interested in. I sighed out loud turning onto my stomach and then it hit me. Grandpa! He's full of information so maybe he could help us. I got out of bed and walked down stairs into the living room finding my grandfather sitting in his usual chair and reading the newspaper.

"Ojiichan?"

"Hmm, Kagome-chan what are you doing up this late?" I smiled at him and curled up into another chair across from him.

"I've got an assignment to do with Inuyasha grandpa and it's on history. We've been through all the books upstairs but I wanted to know if you had any really old type of history books lying around the house somewhere else."

"Really old Kagome-chan?" He mocked me and I giggled a little as he grumbled a bit now.

"And who is this Inuyasha?" He replied back in interest now.

"He's a new student in my class grandpa. You should see him he has silver-white long hair and amber-gold eyes! They are so incredible! He's not like most of the other students' grandpa. It seems strange, but he's so sweet." I blushed lightly saying this and looked over at grandpa who was smiling lightly.

"What?" I questioned defensively.

"Well he's a lucky young man that's all. Having our Kagome-chan becoming smitten over him. Oh the joys of being young."

"Oh stop it grandpa, you're over reacting. I'm not smitten with him, I'm just…being nice that's all." I crossed my arms over my chest and turned my head away. I could hear his soft chuckles and I got up moving over to kiss his cheek and began walking out of the room.

"I'll look around tomorrow for you Kagome-chan. Now off to be young lady." He spoke back reading his paper once more.

"Arigatoo ojiichan."

School passed pretty quickly for a Friday and I sat alone in History class at Inuyasha's desk. Inuyasha was not at school today and I sighed wondering where he was and if he was all right.

"Kagome?"

"Hmm?" I turned around noticing my teacher staring at me. I blushed embarrassed at not doing any work and she grabbed a chair and sat down beside me.

"So what have you decided to do Kagome?" I shrugged my shoulders, but replied back.

"Actually Ms. Tushiko, Inuyasha and I haven't found anything that truly interests us both. There is a lot of stuff out there but nothing that really gets us intrigued. I asked Inuyasha to see if he had any books at his house that might be of interest to us as well, but he's not in today. I got grandpa to look around for anything that has gone astray from the spare room too." I watched as she nodded her head and tried offering a topic to Inuyasha and myself even though he wasn't here to listen to it.

"Why don't you do something on your families shrine Kagome? I'm sure that has a lot of history."

"What and have my grandfather hanging over my shoulder making sure I don't miss one tiny bit of pointless information. No thanks Ms. Tushiko, I think Inu-yasha and I will find something soon." She nodded once more going off to check on a few guys that where mucking around. Minutes seem to fly by and I jolted a little when the bell rang and was the last to leave the room, as it was time to go home.

* * * *

I was walking home and came across a family walking into a rather large, but relatively old mansion. My eyes widened as I made out one of the figures. It was Inu-yasha and he was wearing a rather formal suit, like a tuxedo but no bow tie. The same was with the elder man and what seemed to be Inuyasha's older brother, I guess. A rather beautiful woman was walking close beside the elder man wearing a traditional kimono and held a little girl's hand. She looked about 5 or 6 and giggled happily even though the other members seemed a little saddened. I diverted my gaze moving across the road not wanting to bother any of them but remembered the address of his house so I could go see him tomorrow.

* * * *

"Tadaima!" I sang aloud notifying the members of the household. No one answered so I walked into the main room finding a folded piece of paper with my name on it.

'Kagome-chan,

Your grandpa and I are out and won't be too long, but knowing your grandfather... Please look after Sota for me and don't let him eat ANY ice cream before dinner. Take care. Oh and grandpa found some books for you, they are in your room.

Love Mamma.'

I placed the letter on the table and walked upstairs and into my room. Sota was out at a friend's place and obviously forgot to mention this to mum. I stood at my bedroom doorway, my eyes nearly bulged out of my head at the amount of books lying on the floor in my room. There were heaps! I changed out of my school uniform and into my pyjamas and sat on the floor and began sifting through the books.

* * * *

Hours passed and my eyes began to droop at reading too much information on different types of history. I was too tired to even get up off the floor and fell asleep leaning against a box.

* * * *

"KAGOME-CHAN! WE ARE GOING OUT!" I groaned hearing grandpa's loud voice and worked the kinks out of my sore muscles. That is the first and last time I sleep against a box. I got off the floor and went to pick it up noticing it was quite heavy. I placed it on my bed and opened the rather old and dusty box noticing heaps of books inside. I open the first one sitting on top and looked inside. It appears this was from years and years ago. I gasped happily and quickly ran out of the room into the bathroom. I showered in record time throwing my wet hair into a high ponytail and ran into my room to change into a pair of shorts and tank top. I placed a long sleeve shirt around my waist tying it up and carried the box downstairs and out of the house.

* * * *

I finally made it to the mansion I saw Inu-yasha and his family walk into and placed the box on the ground beside the front door and leaned against it sighing tiredly. I finally caught my breath and knocked on the wooden door. It finally opened to reveal the small girl I saw yesterday, but know she was wearing a summer dress with bright yellow flowers all over it. Her hair was placed into two pigtails that just touched her small shoulders.

"Is Inuyasha here?" I spoke smiling down at her. I watched a bright smile form over her cute features and she nodded opening the door wider silently inviting me in. I stepped inside taking the box with me and watched her disappear while yelling to get Inuyasha's attention.

"INU-NIISAN! A GIRL'S HERE TO SEE YOU!"

"A girl?" I watched as an elder man, a woman holding the young girl in her arms now and an older boy then myself walk into the main room. I bit my lip nervously, as Inu-yasha was no where in sight. Silence filled the area until…

"What's everyone staring at?" His family parted and he stopped his walking and silently looked at me. He was wearing a pair of black pants and a black singlet top with sweat glistening on his exposed skin. He had a towel in his left hand and I smiled sheepishly looking at him. His loose bits of hair stuck to his skin and I controlled my blush well, as he was attractive like that too.

"Inu-niisan, who's that?" The small girl had spoken curiously looking at him and he snapped out of some sort of daze and replied back.

"Ah, Kagome, this is my mum and dad. This is my older brother Sessho-Maru and my little sister Rin." I smiled politely at all of them and spoke.

"It's nice to meet you. How are you finding Tokyo?" There was a startled gaze coming from Sessho-Maru and Inuyasha watched on silently but I turned to watch his mum place Rin on the floor and smiled sweetly at me.

"Oh it's a wonderful place. I haven't been here for many years but I think the kids are glad to be back home. May I ask what brings you here? Especially on a weekend, you should be out having fun with your friends."

"Well I asked Inuyasha to be my study partner in History class and we hadn't found a topic yet but I think I found one last night and wanted to ask him what he thought of it." I watched as she nodded her head as did his father and they left the room taking Rin with them. Their dad had to cough a little loudly, indicating for Sessho-Maru to leave as well. They disappeared into another room and Inuyasha moved closer taking the box out of my arms.

"Do you know what the Sengoku Jidai is Inuyasha?" I spoke while we began ascending the stairs.

"It's the period of warring ages, rather violent actually." We haltered turning around noticing Sessho-Maru was walking upstairs as well.

"How'd you know that?" I asked intrigued.

"Oh I'm not just full of charm and good looks you know. There's wisdom, intelligence…"

"Absolute shit, totally egotistical…You always seem to leave those two out brother." I giggled at their bickering and followed Inuyasha into another room. I moved in and watched as he grabbed some clothes off a large leather chair and waved me to sit down. I looked around the room to see it was enormous. There was a large desk with a computer on it. Antique type furniture blended in with the midnight-blue colour of the walls. There was a large bookcase full of movies, games and magazines. His bed must be king-size! Black curtains draped over the large windows blocking out the sun while the chandeliers hung from the ceiling dosing the room in light. Wallscrolls hung on the wall from different types of anime series that he seemed to like. To complement this room off there was a massive TV screen and all other essential components that go with it, a damn good stereo with surround sound, a fire place, which was not in use yet and a large fur rug with a coffee table nearby.

"This is incredible Inuyasha!" I spoke astonished.

"Ah, thanks, I guess." I smiled and got up waving him over to sit down on the rug even though it was his room. He lay down on it his head folded in his arms as he looked up at the ceiling and spoke.

"Fire away."

"Okay, I think you are seriously going to like this. It's a huge big adventure. Have you ever heard of the Shikon-no-Tama?" I looked up noticing he was now lying on his left side looking at me, head propped up on his arm and he shook his head negatively.

"It's known as the 'Jewel of four souls'." I spoke looking over at him. His eyebrow was raised as though intrigued and I continued on a small story of what seemed to be written in the first page of the diary.

"There's a guy who is a hanyou."

"Half demon?" I nodded my head and continued.

"Yep and there is also a priestess too. They seem to like each other even though he's half demon. The jewel is quite powerful if anyone possessed it. The priestess is the jewel protector and wants to keep it out of reach from any evil demons. According to this something happens and they seem to think they are both betrayed by each other. The half demon wants the jewel to turn into a full demon but the priestess protected it and she pinned him to a tree and he was in enchanted sleep for 50 years. She dies with the jewel but somehow it comes back after that 50 years passes and that's how he awakens. A huge adventure soon begins."

"Seems to get my attention." I looked down seeing him giving me a lopsided smile and I nod my head in agreement with him. Thank god! We have a winner! I spoke inside my head. I began flipping through the book, but stop when my eyes catch on something.

"Oh my…" I whispered and turned to look at Inuyasha with wide eyes.

"What is it?" He had asked truly wanting to know what was up with me. I took a deep breath closing my eyes and then opened them again. Yep, it was true not a figment of my imagination.

"Ah, the half demon Inuyasha…"

"Mm, what about it?" He spoke while sitting up and grabbed some chips from a bowl sitting on the coffee table.

"His name's Inuyasha." I watch him choke on some chips and I got out of the chair moving closer and patted his back lightly. He looked over at me and he grabbed the book scanning the page and turning numerous ones over flipping through it himself. I watch a smirk cross his features and became quite intrigued wanting to know what he had found.

"Oh but it gets better. You know Kikyo, the bitch at school, well her names in here too. She's the priestess, the protector of the jewel."

"Really? How interesting."

"You didn't really read through all of this did you?" I shook my head negatively and Inuyasha spoke looking down into the book.

"You know how this Inuyasha woke up? It was because he could smell the scent of the deceased priestess or Miko as it is sometimes written here. Sure he'd been planted to the tree by her arrow but he awakens somehow and then he saw her. She looked exactly the same as Kikyo and he hated her. A centipede woman pulled the modern girl into the well and out she popped into Sengoku Jidai period. She was the one who freed him and he killed the demon but only because he wanted the jewel. It was found inside the 'reincarnated Kikyo', when the centipede woman bit her, as its been written in here."

"Wow, this is interesting." I spoke back to him.

"Oh it gets better, the girls name is Higurashi Kagome."

"WHAT!" I yelled surprised and moved closer towards him slightly leaning against his right side to look at the book. True to his word there was my name written in the book. How could that be though? I pondered silently once more I moved away grabbing another book while throwing one to Inuyasha and we both sat back to back, funnily enough and read what was inside.

"Hey Kagome guess what?"

"What?" I spoke interested, as his voice seemed livelier then before.

"Those people you hang with are in here too. Sango is actually defined as a demon exterminator. She was tricked; some guy called Naraku slaughtered her family and the people in the village she lived at. Naraku is controlling her little brother as well. She carries around this huge bloody boomerang and has a little pet named Kirara. It turns into a two-tailed cat with large fangs and she rides on it."

"Wow."

"Wait there is shit loads more. Miroku is a perverted priest." I heard a chuckle leave his lips and he began speaking once more.

"This Naraku guy cursed his forefathers and so they all each had an air-rip in their hands. It's like a black hole and if it isn't cured he might die from it sucking the life out of him as it keeps growing. According to this he uses it to suck up enemies if needs be. He holds it closed with some magical beads and a glove. He hooks up with this Inuyasha and Kagome and it is known that Naraku used Kikyo and Inuyasha to turn them against each other as he can shift forms. He also carries a staff with him."

"Yeah, well listen to this. Inuyasha's father is the great demon of the western plains, a taiyoukai. That's where he is half-demon. The woman his father fell in love with was actually a beautiful mortal woman and that's where he is half-human. His half brother Sessho-Maru hates him because he isn't a full demon like himself. Plus the fact he doesn't like any humans at all. They both share the same hatred for each other but Sessho-Maru wants to kill this Inuyasha. Inuyasha was led to his father's grave and found his father's sword. It's called the tetsusaiga. The blade happens to turn into a huge fang, which comes from his father. It is used to protect humans and only comes alive like that when it happens. If it doesn't transform it looks like a rusty old sword. Sessho-Maru on the other hand has the Tenseiga, which has the ability to restore life."

"Wow, this IS interesting." Inuyasha spoke.

"Mm, also Rin, happens to be a little human girl that tried helping a very beaten and practically half dead Sessho-Maru. He refused her help but she still came with food and one day she was beaten up for stealing a fish. Oh and she was killed by some wolves but Sessho-Maru revived her with the sword Tenseiga."

"Wait a minute…I thought Sessho-Maru hated humans." Inu-yasha spoke matter-of-factly.

"That's a bit odd. He hates humans and hates people like Inu-yasha but he will save and take care of that little girl, a human girl for that matter."

"God Sessho-Maru is strange."

"Excuse me?" I jolted a little hearing another voice in the room and found Inu-yasha's brother walking further into the bedroom. I watched as Inu-yasha rolled his eyes and got up walking over to him and spoke in a quiet tone so I was unable to hear it. I observed as Sessho-Maru left the room and Inu-yasha came back but sat down on his bed this time.

I moved back over to the box fishing out the rest of the books and haltered finding what looked like a rather old folder. I picked it up and opened the cover and gasped surprisingly.

"What is it now?" Inu-yasha spoke curiously. I got up and sat on his bed with him and passed him the drawing, the other Kagome had done.

"Holy shit!" I nodded my head in agreement. I silently watched Inuyasha get up and walk over to his mirror looking into it. I too got up moving over to the mirror standing near him and looked at the drawing and then him. His face paled slightly but I cast it aside thinking it was just the shock of all this. If he had on a big red kimono outfit, the tetsusaiga at his side and what looked like dog-ears he'd be the spitting image. I got to admit those ears are so cute! I concluded inside myself.

"Inuyasha?"

"Huh?" I had snapped him out of his trance and I smiled placing my hand on his shoulder and he turned around walking back over to his bed and sat down looking at the other drawings. I sat down beside him and he held up a photo and then gazed his curious amber-gold eyes into mine once more.

"What?" He flipped it over and my mouth-gapped open. This female was the spitting image of me only her uniform was slightly different and she held a bow with an arrow ready to fire. I silently watched as Inuyasha drew closer and placed his hand into my hair taking out the tie. My hair fell around me in a mess and some cascaded over my shoulders while the rest fell down my back.

"Now you look like her." I smiled shyly and looked down into the album flipping it to the next page to find numerous drawings of Inuyasha looking rather pissed off or sleeping even. There was a beautiful Miko obviously being Kikyo and then numerous pictures of the Sango and Miroku characters. This was very uncanny, either drawing looked like the people we knew and saw at school. There was a little, cub I think, and I turned it over reading out the name.

"Shippo…" I watched as Inuyasha sifted through a different book and spoke out loud.

"He's a little fox demon who has the power to shape shift. Usually he does illusions to distract enemies. He wants to avenge the death of his father. Written here it says his father was killed by the Thunder brothers, Hiten and Manten."

"Must be evil right?" I watched as Inuyasha nodded his head. We fell silent and I looked at my watch and got off the bed. It was already passed lunch and I hadn't left any word as to where I was.

"I better go, mamma could be worried. Do you mind if we leave the stuff here?" Inuyasha shook his head and I began walking to the door with Inuyasha not too far behind. We descended the stairs and I stood outside with Inuyasha and spoke to him.

"I'm going to the movies with my friends later tonight if you wish to join us Inuyasha. I'll be fun I promise."

"Ah no thanks. My mum has a thing about going out at night. It's weird so don't ask." I nodded my head slightly saddened but waved goodbye and left walking down the street heading back home.
