Chapter 3 Jidai High
The rain fell on the side walks making them look like small mirrors on the ground until they were messed up by a person walking in the small puddles lined up on the streets. To anyone without an Umbrella, the rain would seem like Hell, Especially to a certain youth running late to school. Inu Kamagoti had left the house running when he had noticed the clock over the kitchen sink. He had not had breakfast, and of course, he had to be in human form because of the overwhelming amount of Youkai activists in the area. Being in this form made him feel a lot colder then he should. Having barely any sleep because of a bastard we all hate and know, as Naraku didn't help matters any. Inu cursed the clouds overhead once again; his violet eyes glaring daggers at the omniscient gray clouds of puff.
Inu stuck his hands in the pockets of his now soaked uniform for school, hoping to maybe get a bit warmer then he was now. Of course, that most certainly wasn't going to happen. The wind had other plans in stored for him, like biting cold, pneumonia, or some other random disease that came with freezing your ass off. He kept glairing at the damned gray in the sky and then sighed when a gust of wind hit him in the face for just such an action. God, any human would shy away from his glare; hell, they'd probably run away screaming with his luck, but apparently the clouds only seemed to laugh at him mockingly. Inu stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, his head down, deep in thought. He probably would have noticed a girl run past him only to stop and turn towards him in question. He didn't of course; well not until the girl came up to him tapping him on the shoulder.
Inu's violet eyes snapped to attention as he jumped a good three feet away from the offending finger landing in a defensive stance, before realizing that someone was laughing, at him. The person in question was trying hard not to fall back from the fit of laughter that was overwhelming her. Shit, the laughing girl was probably the most beautiful girl Inu had ever laid his eyes on. She had long wavy raven colored hair that reached just beyond her shoulders. She held her right hand in front of rose red lips trying to hide the offensive laugh that to him sounded like bells. Her deep silver- blue eyes were warm and held secrets that he would kill for to know. She wore the girls uniform to his new school, and she held an UMBRELLA!
The girl took one look at the frozen hanyou, who now sported a stupefied look on his face as he stared at her, and her laughter only deepened to the point where she dropped the umbrella she was carrying and clutched her stomach for air. Come on, if you saw a boy in a fighting stance looking like he had just had the shock of his life only to stay in the stance starring at you for whatever in that expression, you would laugh as well. I didn't help that he was soaked to the bone. To Inu the laughing girl looked like an angel, but you most certainly wouldn't be able to tell with the expression on his face or the way he was standing. Inu was also beginning to notice that this beauty was becoming soaked as well and not to mention she was wearing a white.shirt.
Inu blushed a tomato and quickly stood up straight turning his face away from the oblivious maddens. Maybe she wouldn't notice the red tint to his face..
"Feh." He snorted. He mentally cursed, that sounded more like a freaking purr! "What are you laughing at?" He asked halfheartedly.
The girl stopped laughing abruptly as she remembered she was being rude. She flushed from her own embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be laughing at you. After all, it's probably not you're fault for not having an umbrella." She picked up her umbrella and held it out to him invitingly. "Here, My names Kagome." She smiled.
Inu reluctantly walked underneath and couldn't stop the sigh that escaped his lips as he found instant relief from the rain, "Arigato."
Kagome smiled at his obvious relief, "You go to my school don't you?"
Inu seemed startled for a second, "Uh yeah. Just transferred."
"Wow! Judging from you're accent, I'd say you were from out of country!" She smiled that ever-present smile that made his heart pump with incredible speed.
"Uh yeah." He answered those oh so intelligent words. (Ahem!) "England." He didn't say where in England but that might be because his mind was turning to mush by the young woman in front of him.
"What's your name?" she asked politely.
"Inu Kamagoti." He answered while berating himself for sounding like an idiot mentally.
"Well, welcome to Japan Kamagoti-kun!" She held out her hand to him like people did in London when they greet someone.
He smiled his rare smiles; his heart raced as he clutched her hand and shook it presently, a small amount of familiarity in this foreign land. Even if he felt as though he'd met this girl before, He hoped that maybe he'd found a possible friend who wouldn't mid knowing a hanyou.
As they neared the school Inu suddenly felt overwhelmed by a strong feeling of familiarity and light-headedness. He stopped trying to get rid of the feeling, but just as the feeling left, he began to see spots and his chest began to hurt as if it were on fire. He dropped to the ground breathing heavily as images started to swirl into his gaze. He saw Kagome, only she had a grayer eyes and a different school uniform on. They were standing in the middle of a battle with demons all around them. She held a bow and arrows and he held a HUGE sword.
Kagome was about to shoot an arrow when a demon came up behind her and stabbed her through the back with a poisoned blade. She dropped her bow and fell to her knees in shock, and pain. Her stormy eyes looked up at him in apology as a single tear fell down her porcelain cheek. The demon that had stabbed her grabbed the necklace that had hung around her neck laughing insanely as he reclaimed his sword from her back. She cried out in her pain and collapsed the rest of the way down to the ground.
Inu Yasha couldn't seem to see or hear anything as he struggled to get to her. He swung his sword to get to her but even as some demons died, more came to push his back. Tears of pure frustration blurred his vision as he kept pushing toward her fallen form. He screamed her name as he realized that he wasn't going to be able to get there in time. Their gases locked again and Kagome smiled at him sadly. Tears fell down her silent face creating unnatural streaks on those flawless cheeks of hers. She whispered his name and his sensitive ears could just make out three words that made his heart clench up in complete and utter grief, 'I love you'. Inu Yasha screamed her name once again as he felt himself falling under an unmovable weight preventing him from escaping.
Inu yelled bloody murder as he woke up in the infirmary in Jidai High School. Then he squinted as his eyes took in the bright light that was on overhead. That's when he noticed in panic how sensitive his eyes were to the light.
Shit! He thought as he realized what form he was in.
He mentally screamed at himself for being so careless as he changed back to his human form. His features taking a softer look to them and his eyes and hair changed color like flowing water. As his claws and fangs disappeared he noticed the dull throb in his temple implying that he had hit his head when he had fallen. He reached his hand up to his forehead and frowned when the hitting head theory was proven fact.
He looked at his surroundings curiously wondering how he had gotten himself here. He was lying on a hospital bed of some sort, and he had cream-colored curtains surrounding that bed. He frowned wondering if he had really been sent to the hospital or not. That would certainly bee something to tell mom when he got home, "Oh yeah, and before I actually got to school I passed out and ended up in the hospital." That thought led him to wonder why he had passed out anyways. All he could remember were fleeting pictures and a feeling of great anguish. He shook his head to get rid of it. It probably wasn't even important, then why did he feel as if there was something that he needed to remember? He'd think about it later, for now, he just needed to figure out where he was and if anyone had seen him as a hanyou.
He got out of the bed careful not to make too much noise and opened the curtains. The room he was in was small and there were several other beds in the room, all of witch, were unoccupied. There were windows above every other bed; all of the windows were open creating their curtains to sway in a small breeze. It was now sunny out side making Inu wonder how long he had been unconscious. He followed the hall that led out of the room into the office. He noticed a nurse tending to a girl.wait a minute, that was, Kagome? He looked at the nurse confused until she turned around, then he was just surprised. The woman looked like she could be Kagome's twin if she were younger. She looked to be about in her 20's. She had cold gay eyes that seemed to have lost their spark of life, but when she smiled there was great warmth in her eyes, also, sadness? Maybe. Her hair was tied back with a white band. The Kagome look-alike wore a white lab coat with a red mini skirt and a white button up shirt underneath. Inu could have sworn that he had met her somewhere before, another time perhaps? Inu shook his head to clear his thoughts.
"Well," She smiled, Her voice seemed to create icicles in the room, "I'm glad to see that someone's awake!"
Inu just nodded nervously.
She chuckled, as she sent the other patient away, "Don't worry, yes I know what you are Inu Kamagoti, you transferred to you're true form after I had been able to get Kagome-chan out of here and to her class."
Inu visibly relaxed, "So, you don't mind what I am?"
The nurse laughed, but it wasn't as cold as the last, "Of course not! I'm surprised that you didn't smell it before, I am after all, dead."
Inu looked shocked at this. He felt his mouth hang open and quickly closed it. He used some of his demon senses and sniffed the woman in front of him carefully. She was right. She smelled of death, dirt, and ancient, almost as though she's been living through all of the centuries after her death. What she must have seen thru her undead life he'd never know. He wondered if he'd ever want to. Although what confused him the most was why she wasn't a vampire, they were the only creatures that he had thought who could walk the world undead.
"What's your name?" Inu asked the obvious question.
"I am called Kimiko." She replied. Inu knew that that wasn't her original name, but her tone told him that she didn't want to go there with him, or anyone for that matter.
Suddenly the door burst open and three other teenagers his age tumbled in. They pushed each other around yelling names like "Miroku", "Hentai", " Pervert", "Sango", "Jack ass"' and "Kagome". Kagome was the first to get up gracefully causing Inu to blush as she did. She smiled as she saw him up and his heart seemed to beat faster under gaze. He had to look away in case his blush deepened and instead focused on the other two got up less gracefully then Kagome. They bowed to him and the boy got a good whap on the head for touching the other girls' ass. To Inu this lot seemed to be a bit mentally unstable, making him wonder if all the people in Japan were like that. Probably not, but that's beside the point.
"Arigato Kimiko-san for helping Inu-kun!" Kagome said bowing to the older woman.
"Not to worry Kagome-chan," Kimiko stated with a smile, "It is after all, my job."
Kagome's smile just broadened at Kimiko's explanation. They were interrupted when the boy with the incredibly short ponytail cleared his throat looking pointedly in Inu's direction.
"Um, Kagome-chan, shouldn't you introduce us to your friend? Seeing as how he's awake again." The guy asked.
Kagome blushed noticeably in embarrassment, "AH, um, yes." She smiled sheepishly at Inu, "Kamagoti-kun, these are my friends," She pointed to the boy, "Houshi, Miroku, age 17, junior, and," she pointed to the girl "Taijiya, Sango, age 16, sophomore."
The two bowed to Inu in greeting, but Inu still felt uneasy as they did this. It made him feel like royalty or something; so Inu just nodded his head in acknowledgement when Kagome told them his name. She faltered here though because she didn't know his age or what grade he was in.
He smiled at the other Youths, "I'm 17," He stated, "I'm a transfer student from London, England, and I'm a junior. Please just call me Inu." Then he bowed rather awkwardly toward them.
They seemed to realize his discomfort, especially because he was from another country, so Miroku just held his hand out to Inu and smiled back at Inu, "Guess you're not used to our customs even if you seem to be from Japan originally."
Inu Yasha took Miroku's hand gratefully, "Thanks, I hadn't been in Japan since I was a toddler."
Sango held her hand out as well and smiled; "You must have made an impression on Kagome, because she was worried sick about you all morning."
Inu and Kagome both blushed at this, "Sango-chaaannn!" Kagome wined.
Sango smiled sweetly at her friend and looked at Inu, "Welcome to Jidai High.
YAYYYYY!!!!!!!!! *Jumps for joy* I'M DONE!!!!! Yes! *Whew* that was hard work. (Looks at clock) AAAHHH!!!!! It's all ready 12:00?! (Runs around room frantically) How can that be?! Oh well, don' have school tomorrow anyways. Well, I hope you all enjoyed my third chapter! My longest one yet! I hope it was worth the wait! So tell me what you think and I'll start typing up the next chapter! Hopefully it'll be done by next Friday! Talk to ya next time! ( Je ne! -Abby Kitty
