*Disclaimer-If I owned Inuyasha, then Kagome wouldn't exist. It would be ME*
please remember, alternate universe means alternate pasts....
*Discrimination*
Inuyasha found it almost surreal. These humans were treating him as one of their own. No screaming, no running. The most he got were some strange looks and lots of questions. But no hatred. No fear. For the first time in his life.
He could still remember. In fact, he couldn't forget. Walking through crowds with his mother when he was very young, the glares they received from others. The hatred in their eyes was permanently burned into his memory. They hated him for being part demon, and they hated his mother, because she was HIS mother.
The demons were another story, yet they hated him also. He knew what they saw in him. A worthless half-breed. Hardly worth the effort to punch him around. Not worth the energy to put him out of his misery. They hated his pathetic human half. He did also. He heard it so many times, he had believed it. He was worthless. He was pathetic. A waste.
Then, his mother died.
Inuyasha was still very young. He had nowhere to turn to. His father had long since disappeared. His brother hated him with the same passion as everyone else. The first year was difficult. Always running, always followed, always hurting. As he grew older, bigger, the hatred lessened. The demons forgot that he existed. The humans, those pathetic weaklings, stayed far from him. The look in their eyes changed. A new light shimmered in them. Something from the depths of their very being.
Fear.
Inuyasha had found his weapon. It was all he needed. The look of fear on the faces of those men. Fear drove them away. They gave him food, shelter, anything, so as long as their nightmares didn't manifest in the half-breed before them.
Fear was all he needed.
It was all he'd ever need.
Until now.
Kagome.
~*^*~
"Inuyasha!" He blinked and saw Kagome's concerned face, filling his vision. "Inuyasha, are you ok?"
"What do you mean, 'Am I ok'? I'm fine!" He crossed his arms and looked away.
"Well, you sort of spaced out. Your eyes glazed over and you started to growl. It was really scary." She thought for a moment before adding, "Not to mention that people were starting to notice your growling. If you want to stay hidden, you've got to be more careful!"
Did he want to stay hidden? Continue posing as a human, the creatures that dispised him? Become the thing that fears him?
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed.
"What?" Inuyasha jumped back, instinctivly covered his ears, forgetting about the hat.
"You did it again! What is wrong with you? You've been really out of it ever since lunch!" Kagome stood on her tip toes and placed a hand on his forehead. Inuyasha glared at her. Frowning, she removed her hand. "You don't have a fever. Are you sure you feel ok?"
"I'm fine, wench!" He growled, then started stalking away.
"Oh! So we're back to 'wench' are we? You can't be feeling that bad if you're calling me names." Kagome sighed. "Come on, let's just go. School's been over for 15 minutes!" She thought for a moment. "Hey! We can walk home together! I always see you on my way to school. It'll be nice having someone to talk to. . . That is, if you don't space out anymore."
"Keh. Fine." Inuyasha began walking, leaving Kagome to catch up with him.
*~^~*
Inuyasha was getting annoyed. The stupid girl wouldn't leave him alone! If she asked him one more time.....
"Inuyasha?"
"What?" He snapped.
"Are you really sure you're ok?" Kagome peered over her shoulder to try and get a good look at his face.
Inuyasha surprised them both. He didn't lash out or get angry. He didn't call her any names. Instead, he stopped where he was and focused on the concrete below him.
"They accepted me."
Kagome was taken aback. There were a lot of things she had expected. This was definatly NOT one of them. "Wha...?"
"The teachers. The students. They accepted me. No hate. No anger." Without waiting for a response, Inuyasha continued walking.
Kagome was dumbfounded. Inuyasha wasn't angry, so something must be wrong. If he wasn't going to yell, then by god! She would! "What are you talking about?! Of course they would accept you! Why wouldn't they? You're a perfectly normal human....being.....oh...But still, you're a demon. At least the other demons accepted you, right?"
Inuyasha sighed. "That's the problem Kagome. I'm only half-demon."
Kagome was still confused. "But why should that make a difference?"
In an instant, the quiet Inuyasha dissapeared. "It makes all the difference! Don't you get it girl? I'm both! A human AND a demon! They both hate me for the other part! You hated me too!" With that, he took off, and Kagome could barely grasp what he had just said.
"Wait! Inuyasha! But now I know you!" But her shouts were only heard by the wind.
