Note: Italics text and '...' are thoughts. Now back to our program!
Inuyasha sighed as he sat against the well. They'd been there for more than three hours doing nothing but Inuyasha and Kia refused to let anyone go anywhere. They used the idea of the youkai attacking; too bad Kagome was beginning to doubt the truth behind that statement. 'There has to be something out there that they don't want us to find! I'll see what's up...'
Kagome was about to do just that when Inuyasha stood up after Kia. "Let's head back. I don't like the feeling I'm getting." Kia told them as she walked in the direction of the well Inuyasha was sitting against.
They all got up and, with a bit of hesitation, jumped through the well... again.
They landed on the other side and were helped up the well by the demons. "The neko are gone." Kia whispered as she glanced out the door.
Inuyasha sighed, almost sadly. "All humans stand here. All demons and demon hunters (Miroku and Sango), over there." He ordered pointing in two different spots on the ground. He held out his hand towards the humans and a ball of green light appeared in front of his hand. "There are some things you can remember; this is not one of them. I'll make this easier on me and just have you all forgotten that you traveled through time." When he said this, the ball of light exploded in a beam of light that headed in the direction of the group of humans.
When the light cleared, everyone in the group of humans that were on the ground, unconscious. "Wha! What happened?!" Kagome gasped at the pile of people.
"My brother's known for tampering with people's memories. I think it's stupid but he seems to get a bit trigger happy with the memory spells." Kia explained with a sigh.
"So none of them will remember anything that happened down the well?" Kagome asked.
"Right. They won't remember a thing and if you tell them, I'll be........veeeeeerrrrrrryyyyyy angry!" Inuyasha said in mock seriousness.
"Why are they out cold?" Kagome asked.
"Oh. That happens with big things being forgotten. This was about the biggest thing to happen to them so it played a toll on their memories. Let's just hope that they don't notice that their memories seem to go blank for a while......" Kia explained to a surprised Kagome.
They carried everyone inside before Kagome and the other's that were awake flopped down on the couch. "Oooohhhh. Tired." Kagome moaned.
"Then take a nap. I don't want to listen to you complaining anyway." Inuyasha replied from his spot.
Kagome, too tired to beat down the hanyou, just ignored the statement. "I...I'm not that tired!"
"Say that in three minutes." Inuyasha told her sarcastically. And, as if on command, a large yawn escaped Kagome's mouth.
"I rest my case." he mumbled after Kagome drifted off to sleep.
(Later...)
Mmmmmmmm. Went through Kagome's mind as she registered the scent of waffles and bacon. She had no problem with a breakfast like that but that meant a new day........school.
She was down in a flash and sitting at the table. However, she'd expected to see Inuyasha cooking when she noticed he was sitting next to her sipping coffee.
"Good to see you're alive." Inuyasha commented, "I was wondering just how much sleep you can get! You might want to know now that, well, demons don't need as much sleep as humans even though you'll feel tired, it'll go away soon and you'll be wide awake."
"You mean that if I don't fall asleep during that time when I'm tired I'll be wide awake?" Kagome inquired.
"Ahhhhh. She does have a brain....." Inuyasha was cut off as Kagome knocked her shield into Inuyasha's skull. "AAAHHHH!" He yelled as he spilt coffee, HOT coffee, all over his lap.
"And here I thought you didn't feel any pain?! Well, live and learn I guess." Kagome teased as she tossed him a wash cloth.
"You're toast, Kagome." Inuyasha said while flashing a rude gesture (namely the finger).
"Hey! My mom's here ya' know!! Oh yea. This is toast." Kagome hissed to him while waving a slice of the burnt bread in front of Inuyasha's face.
"Yea. Tell me something I don't know." He replied as he wiped off his pants (no comments! Got that peanut gallery! {you know the phrase: 'No comments from the peanut gallery *waits for response but gets nothing but blank looks* ... ...never mind.....}).
"Damn you Kagome." Inuyasha mumbled as he wrung out the wash cloth imagining that it was Kagome's neck.
"Feh." Kagome mumbled and immediately slapped her hand over her mouth. 'What the hell! I just used the Inuyasha trademark phrase! Go figure that I had to get his blood...and his habits!'
"What was that, Kagome? I'm sorry! I missed that. Your friends might want to whatever it was that you said!" Inuyasha said 'I can't believe that she just said that! Damn! I might want to watch it with this one or I might not be the only one who can use the Sekiha Tenkyoken. She mastered the Tenkyoken fast enough so I wouldn't put it past her...'
"No way!" Kagome seemed to say anxiously making everyone else except the demons wonder what was going on.
Myoga sighed inwardly. 'My life is very complicated. Lady Kagome seems to be gaining a few of Inuyasha's traits. Let's hope that she doesn't try to use any of Inuyasha's trademark moves. Some of them aren't meant for the female body to handle. It might not be very pretty. Lady Kagome doesn't have the same amount of energy as the Lord yet so if she tries to use any of his attacks on instinct......she'd incinerate herself! It doesn't help that Lord Inuyasha seems oblivious to the major problem that we have...'
'That wasn't right. Ahhhhh well. Right now I've got other things more important to worry about, like what to do about memories. I'm getting close to the limit of being able to remove all memories of my existence from everyone here. If I'm going to make everyone forget that I'm alive then I'd be safer. No, I.....don't want to be...forgotten by Kagome... I don't know why but I can't seem to let myself use a spell on her. Something inside me won't let me. AAAGGGHHH! This is so frustrating. I can't think here with all this damn noise!' Inuyasha thought as he was constantly distracted by the chatter around him. "I'll be back in time to leave for school." He said as he managed to find a quiet moment in the large conversation at the table.
He was seemingly ignored so he snorted as he got up and walked away.
--God Tree--
'What the f*** is going on.' he thought as he leapt up into the highest branch to ponder exactly what the hell was going on. 'This is very weird. What Kagome said...why do my thoughts keep trailing back to that thing! It's like there's something important I'm missing but...uhhh screw it. I'm just paranoid! I've still gotta decide about the memory charm. It would be so easy to do but....BINGO! I've got it. It solves my problems everywhere! Just remove all memories of me being a demon from everyone except Kagome's family, Kagome and Kia...Maybe Miroku and Sango too... but the rest go! It's the perfect plan. The blank spots won't be very large since they're really old and they've already lost the memories of the past so we could just say that they hit their heads or something and that would explain lapses of memory here and there. My fight with Kikyo will also go and it will be as close to normal as possible around here. It won't send them unconscious either so that is a good thing. Just where to cast it so that it covers the most distance with the least energy used. I've gotta only hit certain people too so I'll need a while to seek them out and cast the spell. I'll go after school and cast it to each person separately....no. That would leave a large opening when like I could cast it on Yuka's parents but not on Yuka yet. Yuka might say something thinking that her parents still know....Damn! I've got some more thinking to do.' Inuyasha mused before a sent was lofted up to him on a gentle breeze. It was Ami. Not the person he needed to talk to. 'Just stay up here and pretend you're not here. Don't need them knowing my little hiding place!'
"Hey Inuyasha! I'm not stupid! I know that you're up there and that you always go up there to think! I'm not blind ya' know!" She yelled up.
'Add that to the list of things to remove from their memories. I might not have a problem making even Kagome and the others forget that.' Inuyasha groaned before jumping down to the earth below. "You humans are far too observant for your own good." He grumbled as he walked back into the house after Ami.
--Later at school--
"Come on Inuyasha! Just dump that Kagome trash so you can go out with me!" Kikyo begged the mentioned hanyou who sighed, inwardly thanking whatever forces were helping him keep his temper at a minimum.
"For the last time! NO!" He yelled the last part and the entire lunch room went quiet.
"And why not?" Kikyo grinned inwardly. Either he dumps Kagome or I find some way to humiliate him...no, blackmail is better. But what do I have on him. Damn! I wish I knew him for longer...maybe someone else has something good... Kikyo thought to herself, explaining the inward grin.
"I...well...the...we...shit." He grumbled the last part, thanking Kami some more that the bell chose that time to ring. Ahhhhh. Devine intervention is a great thing!!! (And maybe an author who feels too lazy to go on with that subject!)
--This is now the last class of the day, biology...--
"Class! I have an announcement to make! The class will be taking an extended weekend long camping trip into the woods on the north side of the city. It is optional but, if you don't go you have good odds of failing." The teacher said at the last two minutes of class. "Here are your permission slips, there is no charge. Specifications are listed on the sheet. Enjoy the rest of the afternoon." She handed out the slips just as the bell rang dismissing the students from the building known as school.
"Oh Kami! It's a hiking and tent camping trip. We're screwed. I'll fail if I have to, I'm not going!" Ayumi muttered under her breath as she read the slip.
"Hey! I slept under the stars for most of my life! It's not that bad." Kia replied in a teasing manner.
"Shuddup." Was what come at her from Ayumi but then she noticed Inuyasha looked a bit preoccupied. "What's up?"
"Let me see that." Inuyasha ordered as he took the sheet out of Ayumi's hands. Let's see. Items, dates, oh shit! ...partners... gotta get away from Kikyo! She's right in front of us! Please let me be out of sight before she reads this section of the paper.
Just his luck, it was too late. Just as they were walking down the street to the part where he'd lose Kikyo, she gasped and he guessed that she'd read that part. She was looking around and his heart seemed to beet wildly in his chest, he suddenly wished he'd been paying more attention when his mother taught him that invisibility spell. Please don't let anyone see. He thought as he leapt into the air as Kikyo's eyes rested on the spot he'd been on moments before.
"Hey! Where'd Inuyasha go?" Kikyo asked Kia who just responded with a sigh.
How can Inuyasha be afraid of this bitch? He's a strange one all right... Kia thought to herself as they separated from Kikyo and headed down 254 West Street towards the shrine.
Inuyasha dropped down in front of them as soon as they were out of sight of Kikyo and her friends. "What's up with you anyway? She's not that scary, a bitch maybe, but not scary." Kia asked her brother as they started to climb the shrine steps.
Inuyasha didn't reply but handed the permission slip to Kia after tracing a loop of energy around a certain part of the description. She noticed that he was referring to the part with partners and her brother had no skill with girls. He hardly had any tact at all for that matter. He'd probably screw up and get into the middle of a cat fight or something.
Kia nodded sagely and handed the paper to Kagome who showed it to the others.
Damn! That's the weekend of the new moon. Go figure that my sister gets the full moon to have her human night. If I don't go and fail the class, that might attract a bit too much attention to myself and a lot of demons would be angry if every human in the city knew of demons. How can I go away for a while to transform then come back? What a mess I'm in...I'm screwed! Inuyasha thought to himself. I've also got 'till the end of the week to choose between removing and keeping their memories of my demon powers. Things just get way too complicated with humans. What the hell am I going to do?
Kagome noticed the pensive look on her brother's face before he bounded off into the woods. He's going to think again. Might be a good time to see what's going on with him. "Hey guys. I'm going to go see what's going on with him. See ya later."
--In the forest--
"My life sucks. How to do this the best way. Kagome is usually asleep by the time the transformation to human occurs. I should have paid attention to when she'd changed. How could I have screwed up like this? If she has that part of my blood, we'll both have to find a way to disappear for the transformation." Inuyasha mumbled to himself before lowering his concealing spell.
"What is it with my life?! It's like trouble follows me around." Not that I would ever call Kagome a trouble... I won't even ask where that thought came from.
Still, what to do about their memories. Tomorrow is the last day I can do it.....however.....if I use Kagome as a booster for the pathetic amount of Miko power my mother gave me.....no. I'd have to touch her to do that. She'd sense me first. This sucks. If I use Kagome, the time could be pushed forward a month or so before I have to hit them with a memory spell. "This is so screwed up!" He groaned making Kagome wonder what was going through the hanyou's mind.
Inuyasha suddenly had the oddest feeling he was being followed. His instincts tended to do that for him. Whoever was following him knew him enough to know what to avoid doing to evade detection...... had to practically know his blood inside and out. Screw it! Whoever it is can screw off! I don't feel like dealing with them right now. If it's an opponent then I'll cut them to pieces. (If he only knew that it was Kagome!!! ^.^)
Kagome crept along, using what she had of his instincts to avoid his detection. She watched him get tense for a minute and was shocked to find out that her instincts seemed to send off alarms in her head at his actions. He might have sensed her....Okay. Keep the energy level as low as it goes. I can't have him sensing me or else I won't find out what's going on.
A few tense seconds later, he began to walk again with an indignant snort. That's Inuyasha! I was hoping he'd do that. He's a bit too full of himself though...maybe I should teach him a lesson...nya. The info is more important. I'll remind him later.....somehow....ah forget it! Kagome went back to trailing her 'prey'.
Something clicked in Kagome's head soon. She'd felt a pulse of energy shoot through the area and looked down to see that Inuyasha was now in his true form and was flying off just above the tree line. Must want to avoid detection. It's a good idea though. I can't catch up easily without raising my power level and then he'd sense me. DAMN! Maybe he pays a bit more attention than I thought!
Inuyasha smirked from above. He knew only three people who could match his instincts. Sesshomaru was one option but no chance in hell. Sesshomaru was the direct type, not one to sneak around. It leaves Kia and Kagome. This person has like a copy of my instincts, and can counter them perfectly....... COPY!!! Only Kagome fits that description! I never knew she improved so much though. I think it's time to find her true form. Normally it would show itself by now ... something isn't right......
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* AN: AHHHH!!!!! What's up with Kagome's true form? How will the camping field trip go? I'm a bit nervous; there are a lot of demons there. A perfect place for a Naraku trap. He could use captive students like playing cards....... Kyaaa! I said wwwwaaaaayyyyy too much! Well, that's the basic outline for my next chapter!
Chapter 19: Aim, fIRE!: Kia's Tenkyoken Arrow!
Inuyasha sighed as he sat against the well. They'd been there for more than three hours doing nothing but Inuyasha and Kia refused to let anyone go anywhere. They used the idea of the youkai attacking; too bad Kagome was beginning to doubt the truth behind that statement. 'There has to be something out there that they don't want us to find!
