---Chapter 5---
The morning hours had found Kagome walking towards her school. The sunlight streamed down from the horizon, sprinkling the young schoolgirl with a light orange glow from above. Her pace was swift, eager to be far away from the Well now that she had a chance to do so. Her feet carried her faster and faster, until her destination was at hand.
Absently, Kagome stared at her school, something so familiar, but so distant these past months. She'd only returned for test and important dates that needed to be seen to so she could pass when the time came. Now, she could come all the time. Most adolescents her age would immediately find her crazy for wanting the education she could finally have; but she found it as a blessing.
Her thoughts strayed away when she heard a voice from her right.
"Oh, Kagome! I can't believe you are back already, especially when you had such a bad case of the gout." It was a random schoolgirl, offering condolences.
Kagome slouched down. Her grandfather always blew everything out of proportion. Always. He couldn't have just said that she had asthma that was acting up to everyone; he had to tell the whole world these awful sicknesses and worst yet, he'd pick a different one to tell every time. Annoyed beyond reason, Kagome's pace quickened, eager to be in class, and not outside for more 'get well soon' statements.
Sighing in relief, Kagome sat down in a chair, front row center, in her History class. She had dodged the students in the hallway, attempting to hide her face incase anyone else had been told of her ailments. She was safe now, for the moment anyway. Her eyes darted to the clock. Five minutes until class was to begin. She sunk down in her chair. Maybe no one would notice her.
"Hey, Kagome! I'm so glad your better! Did that heart condition you have really go away so quickly?!" It was another one of her classmates' voices.
A moan filled with anger came, as she tried to make herself disappear, all to no avail. Soon she wouldn't have to deal with it. She would be in school every day that she had to be from this point on. Today marked the time that she would begin living a normal teenage life. A life filled with school, studying, friends, family, boys..
Her throat closed up and she fretted choking as Inu-Yasha's face came to rest in her mind. Her eyes narrowed, but she did not feel the anger inside that she was conveying so well on the out. She'd have to forget him as well, were she to ever to attempt being normal again. But it was so difficult to forget everything so easily..it would take months to fully heal over this..
Kagome looked up from her reverie, seeing the professor enter the room. He looked around, his eyes stopping on Kagome. He came to her desk, before doing anything else and began talking in a very low voice
"Oh, wow, Kagome, a pleasure to have you back in class. If you need anyone to talk about your seizures with you, I am always here to converse with."
Kagome colored red, and cleared her throat, "Um.thanks for the offer.but I'll be fine."
He nodded and started for the front of the classroom. Kagome watched him walk away, feeling absolutely embarrassed. She was going to maul her grandfather when she got home, killing him, so that he could no longer talk about these awful things with anybody. She felt as though she could die herself at this very moment. She prayed the school day would not last long. Her mind was completely and utterly shot already, and still there was no teaching.
Her teacher began droning on, and she caught only a few words. Then, something hit her ears.
"The Feudal Era."
That was all she needed to trigger her mind elsewhere.
I wonder where Inu-Yasha is right now.
---Chapter 6---
"You stupid idiots! Damn you all!" Inu-Yasha screamed from the pit of the well. "I should kill all you worthless, stupid." He cut himself off, looking around from his place on the ground below. They were in the Well. Miroku stood from his position, looking around at the stonewalls with curiosity. He ran his hand up against the wall, feeling the rough pattern on his fingertips.
"I believe we have crossed over." He concluded, dramatically.
Sango rolled her eyes, "I believe we have already decided that, dimwit." She muttered, standing up. Inu-Yasha was still fuming in anger, though silently as he gazed around into the darkness.
"You can find your own way out of here. I'm leaving you two on your own." The demon said, jumping up and landing on the edge. He looked down at them, his eyes narrowed.
"I should kill you both now for pushing me in like that. I wasn't coming here you know!" He yelled.
Miroku and Sango exchanged a knowing glance and then went about climbing the rock walls. Inu-Yasha growled and started on his way. He had picked up Kagome's scent almost immediately when they came to this time period. It was stronger now that he was out of the Well. With remembrance, his eyes searched the perimeter. His thoughts drifted back to a time when he had first come to this place. Yura, the hair demon, had been the cause. Kagome had needed help then and he was the first to offer it. Why? He didn't recall why he had wanted to be her savior. All he knew was that she needed his help and he offered it, eagerly.
Shaking away the thoughts, his pace went from a slow casual walk, to a fast paced run. All he would have to do was follow that idiot girl's scent and it would lead him right to her in a matter of no time at all.
Kagome settled down into her fourth period classroom, with little to no enthusiasm left from the earlier morning. She remembered how much she hadn't missed school while being in the Feudal Era. Being a normal girl was just.too normal. Idly, her gaze traveled to the window she was seated by. The outside seemed to call to her, and here she was, stuck at a desk, in a boring classroom with a teacher who made no sense whatsoever. She was beginning to think that she had made the wrong choice by coming back.
No, it was the right choice. You hate that demon and that time period. She had to keep telling herself lies such as that in order to remain calm about her decision. Although, sometimes, she wondered what all of her friends were up to. Did they even miss her? She gave a mental shrug, trying desperately to focus on the lesson. Her attempts were futile.
"Now, I read over these papers and decided that you all need to be put back in the Feudal Era. None of you can write correctly. You deserve to be thrown back into time." Her teacher reprimanded.
Kagome sighed. Every class today had had a tidbit about the Era in it. Everything was revolving around that. It was as if some unknown force was trying to torture her.. or to get her to go back. She would never do that though.
Her teacher began on the right way to speak and write the correct way, but her attention had snapped towards the door. In the hallway, some sort of ruckus was brewing. She could hear yelling.. and one of the voices sounded so familiar. She attempted to place it, but decided it was just a teacher or a rowdy student.
"Damn you! I have every right to be here!" The voice in the hallway screamed, loud and clear.
"Now, young man, calm down." Came a more smooth, and relaxed tone, most likely a teacher who didn't want any trouble in the building.
"I am calm!" The voice shouted once more. With that, the classroom door burst open, falling right from the hinges.
Most of the girls in the classroom screamed and jumped up from their chairs, retreating to the back of the room in one giant mob. The boys stood up, though did not move. Kagome stayed in her chair, half numb to the world around her, as thoughts of the Feudal Era drifted in her mind.
"You stupid girl! What the hell were you thinking?!" The voice was still in the hallway, though moving closer. Through the numbness Kagome stood up. It was as though whoever was out there was talking to her. She began moving closer to the door. Muffled gasps of terror from the back of the room followed her, as Inu-Yasha appeared in the aperture of the doorway. His face was contorted in rage, his eyes holding the tint of red from his deep anger. Kagome stopped in mid-stride, staring at him, unbelieving.
"I-Inu-Yasha?" She questioned, meekly.
"Damn right it's me!" He exclaimed, coming closer, until he was right in front of her. "I oughta kill you for what you did! Why the hell did you leave me!?" His voice rose, considerably at his last question. The girls in the back of the room shrieked in horror at hearing his threat. The teacher, who looked as though she was in shock, rushed to Kagome's side.
"L-Leave this young girl alone! She's never done anything to you..you.monster!" She stared at the demon markings on his face, her eyes widening.
Inu-Yasha's stare went from Kagome to the flustered teacher. He pointed to the door.
"Leave us." He hissed in commandment. The woman nodded, as if stupefied and ran from the classroom. The other students had gone into an eerie quiet. The demon's stare rested on them.
"You all leave as well."
The other's looked around at each other a moment, not sure what to do.
"LEAVE!" He screamed, his voice a deadly roar.
The students began running frantically out of the classroom. The shouting continued as they fled down the hallway and eventually outside.
Once the group had fled, Kagome's shock seemed to wear away. Her face went from surprise to that of anger.
"What are you doing here?!" She demanded, angrily. Inu-Yasha smirked, "What do you think? I'm here to bring you back!" With that, he moved at immense speed, grabbing her arm in the process. He then proceeded to hoist her over his shoulder. She yelled at him in protest, which he ignored, easily. Kagome began to pound on his back, squirming to release his grip. "Let me go! Stop it! I came back here because I wanted to!" She wished that he doned the prayer-bead necklace that gave her control over him. As a demon, he did not have it any longer. "What reason is that?" He questioned, moving from the classroom and into the hallway. Kagome stopped struggling, there was no use. A few people by their lockers dodged away from the demon as he began running carelessly; not watching where he was going. Kagome thought about it, choosing her words carefully. "Maybe you can figure it out." She said simply. Inu-Yasha growled, "I'm not one for games, girl." He picked up his pace, moving now at his full demon speed. There was no need to tell him. Kagome figured that he could find out on his own. It appeared as though she would be dragged back to the Feudal Era whether she liked the idea or not. So much for a normal life as a normal girl. She sighed, but then a smile took place on her lips. "Hey.. you came back for me." She observed. Inu-Yasha rolled his eyes, though did not protest.
