Time for a change part 19

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Snow Day!!!!! *Happy dance* And look! In four chapters I have nearly gotten as many
reviews as in the 14 chapters I wrote before! *Another happy dance*

I own Inuyasha. *looks around* see nothing bad happened! ahahahaha *sees lawyers at doorstep* ahhh!
I don't own Commander Kenneth Bowersox either. He's a real person

Kagome looked down at her problems. 'I'm not going to finish before the bell. I guess I'll have extra homework tonight.'
She thought sourly. Kagome looked over at Inuyasha who was leaning back in his chair with his pencil in his mouth. "Inuyasha
are you doing all right." Inuyasha, who had been staring at the ceiling looked over at her. "I'm done." he said. Kagome's
eyes widened it surprise. Before she could respond, Mr. Orumi cleared his throat. "Is there a problem Mrs. Higurashi?"
Kagome looked back at her work blushing at being caught talking by the teacher.

Mr. Orumi, seeing that Inuyasha's inactivity went over to look at his desk. He picked up Inuyasha's paper and studied the
answers. He then nodded in approval and set the paper back down on Inuyasha's desk and went back to his own. Inuyasha smirked
smugly at Kagome. Kagome went back to her own problems determined to finish them before the bell. Somehow she did manage
to finish before the bell. "Page 218 problems 1-30 evens only for tommorow called out Mr. Orumi as the students exited for
lunch.

Inuyasha walked out with Kagome right behind him. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asked. She didn't seem angry which relieved
Inuyasha. "I tried to, but you never let me finish my sentence." he grumbled as he headed to his locker. Kagome walked to
her own locker. She tossed her Algebra in her back and shut it. Kagome turned back to see Yuna standing near Inuyasha.
Inuyasha was trying to get away from her and seemed to be swaying a little. 'I better help him before he faints.' Kagome
rushed over to Inuyasha. "I said maybe now get away from me." Inuyasha said turning away from her so he could hold his nose.

He saw Kagome rushing towards him. "Oh come on Inuyasha. Pleeease?" Yuna wrapped her arms around Inuyasha and gave him a
hug. Inuyasha was in major trouble now. He could either release his nose to pull the girl off of him, or he could let her
hold him. He decided he'd rather face the smell than Kagome's wrath. "Woman get off of me." Inuyasha grabbed Yuna's hands
and pulled her off. Kagome got to Inuyasha's side about then. "Go play with one of your boy-toys Yuna." Kagome said wrapping
her arm around him for two reasons. One becuase she didn't want Yuna touching her boyfriend, and two Inuyasha Inuyasha
needed her support or he'd probably collapse on the ground. Yuna glared at Kagome and sniffed. "Fine." Then she shot a smile
at Inuyasha. "Catch you later Inuyasha."

Yuna walked off. 'I like boys who play hard to get.' she thought. Meanwhile Inuyasha was gasping fresh air. "No wonder there
aren't any youkai in your time Kagome. That girl probably made them all suffocate." said the panting Inuyasha. Kagome smiled
and gave Inuyasha a hug, who returned it. Inuyasha pressed his head into her hair and inhaled her pleasent scent. "Come on,
lets go have lunch." Kagome said. Inuyasha pressed her closer to her. "I'm not hungry." he mumbled still enjoying her close
proximity and her scent.

Kagome looked around. "Inuyasha, at school public displays of affection aren't exactly allowed. No lets go before a teacher
comes." Inuyasha let go of her. He followed her grumbling towards the cafeteria. 'Why couldn't he be like this in his time.'
she wondered. She suddenly wished they were back in his time. He could hold her all day if he wanted to there. 'We can got
Sunday.' she thought. 'The others are probably wondering if we are all right.'

Kagome and Inuyasha entered the lunchroom. She spotted her friends who were waving at her franticly. "Will you grab me a
tray too Inuyasha?" she asked. He grunted and nodded still pouting. Then she ran over to her friends who grabbed her and
dragged her away. "Hey! let go!" Kagome cried as they pulled her outside. "What did you do?" asked Yuka. Kagome blinked.
"What do you mean do?" she asked. "What did you do to Inuyasha." asked Eri. "I didn't do anything to him." Kagome said
defensively. "Then why is he pouting?" Ayumi asked. Realization dawned on Kagome. "Oh. He was hugging me in the hallway
so I told him to let go before a teacher saw us." Yuka looked at her strangely. "Where his hands wandering?" she asked.

Kagome shook her head and sighed. "No. He doesn't ever do anything like that." Ayumi whispered to Eri, "She sounds like she
wants him to." Eri nodded. Yuka meanwhile bonked Kagome on the head. "Stupid! If he was being good why would you want him
to let go?" Kagome rubbed her head. "I didn't want to get in trouble. You know the rules about public affection at school."
Yuka snorted. "Noone pays attention to that. Your going to make him think your not interested in him. I hear Yuna's got
her eyes on him. If you keep doing stupid things like that theres a lot of girls in line waiting for him to become single.
Ayumi's one of them." Ayumi jumped back and put her hands up defensively. "Do-Don't bring me into this Yuka!" she cried.

Kagome sighed. "All right, I'll make it up to him." Yuka smiled, pleased. "Good lets go eat lunch then." The girls headed
back into the cafeteria to see Inuyasha with a big sweat drop on his head surrounded by girls all trying to talk to him
at the same time. Inuyasha just sat there as the pile of paper in front of him grew higher and higher. When the girls
saw Kagome and her friends they scattered back to their tables all talking excitedly. Inuyasha just stared at the hundreds
of notes. Kagome sat down next to him and grabbed one of them. "Dear Inuyasha," she read teasingly. "I think you're the
cutest guy in school. My phone number is 239-1298. Call me! Sakura." Kagome grinned at the poor hanyou who put his head on
the table and covered it it with his hands.

"Gee, I think this dress is about ten sizes too small for this girl." said Yuka who was holding a picture that had been
in one of the notes. Kagome grabbed the picture and looked at it. Her eyes widened. She tore it up into pieces and tossed
it in a well placed trash can. Inuyasha simply moaned pitifully. 'Why me.' Inuyasha waited for Kagome to get angry at him
but nothing happened. She patted him on the back. "Come on. Lets get these into a bag for you to take home." she said.
All four of the other people at the table stared at her like she was crazy. "Well it would be rude not to. Inuyasha can
answer all of his fan mail when he gets home." Kagome said grinning evily. "But-But theres hundreds!" Inuyasha cried.

"Well I guess you'll just have to make really short phone calls to them all." Kagome said. Then she went and got a bag
from the lunch ladies and stuffed them all into it. "Lets eat, I'm starving."

Class 5 P.E

Everyone was outside at the baseball field. The girls were supposed to play to, but most of them (including Kagome)
simply watched the guys play. Right now the two team captains were picking their members. Toshio was one of them, and
some nameless guy was the other. "Hey Kagome." said Yuka who was sitting on the bench in the dugout. Kagome was leaning
against the dugout wall with her head resting on her arms watching as the teams were selected. "Hmm?" Kagome responded.
"Why does Inuyasha wear that necklace everywhere he goes? I haven't seen him take it off ever." Kagome gulped. 'Uh oh.
what should I say?' "Did you give it to him?" Kagome smiled. 'Why didn't I think of that?'

"Yeah. Sort of. I gave it to him the first time I met him." 'Thats not a complete lie. I mean I didn't actually Physically
give it to him.' Ayumi and Eri, who were also on the bench, awwwed. Kagome blushed a little and watched as the number of
players left to pick dwindled.

Inuyasha clenched his fist as one by one every other person was picked besides him. It was ALWAYS like this. When he was
a child, when they other kids played games, he was always the last picked even though he was the best player. Just becuase
he was different. And here people thought he was human and they STILL did this to him. 'This must be Toshio's doing. That
other guy must be afraid to pick me becuase I'm on Toshio's bad side.' It took all of Inuyasha's will and a couple glances
at Kagome to keep himself from beating the hell out of Toshio right then.

At last he was picked by the nameless guy. The last one to be picked, like always. Kagome watched all of this. 'Maybe this
wasn't a good idea letting him come. He told me about how he was always left out when he used to play with the human
children in his time.' "Hey Kagome?" Kagome did not want to talk with her friends right now, what she really wanted to
do is go out there and hug Inuyasha, but she couldn't. "What!?" she said a little more snappier than she intended.

Yuka gulped. "I thought you said your boyfriend was a violent, selfish, jelous, two-timer. He doesn't seem that way to me."
Kagome, now feeling bad for snapping at her friend looked over. 'I guess I owe her a decent explaination for snapping at
her like that.' "Well he IS violent, selfish, and jelous. He hasn't really seen his old girlfriend in a while and I think
he's over her. Its just that since he came to visit hes been a lot less violent and selfish." Eri whispered to Ayumi.
"I think Kagome's the violent one." Ayumi grinned and nodded. "I AM NOT VIOLENT!" Kagome shouted with her hands around
Eri's kneck. "I-I was just kidding Kagome!" Yuka, in an effort to prevent Kagome from killing Eri pointed and said. "Hey
look its Inuyasha's turn." Kagome dropped the poor girl and ran over to the dugout window. "Go Inuyasha!" she shouted.
She wasn't the only girl cheering for Inuyasha. In fact it seemed Inuyasha's fan club rivaled Toshio's in size.

Inuyasha looked at Toshio, who was grinning smugly from the pitchers mound. Inuyasha gripped the bat tighter. 'I'll knock
that smug grin right of your face Toto.' "Go Inuyasha!" Inuyasha looked over to the dugout where Kagome was. 'Don't use
your full strength.' he told himself. Turning back to Toshio Inuyasha prepared himself. Toshio simply kept on smirking.
Then he threw the ball. Inuyasha saw the ball coming at him. He swung gently and missed. "Whats the matter Inuyasha?
Can't play baseball?" Toshio taunted as he caught the ball that the catcher had thrown back to him.

Inuyasha growled softly. His grip on the bat tightened and he could feel it strain under his pressure. He didn't care
imagining it was Toshio's kneck. Toshio threw the ball again and once again Inuyasha missed. "You throw like a girl
Inuyasha. Speaking of girls you've sure got bad taste." Toshio once again taunted. That was the last straw. Inuyasha
glanced at Kagome. 'This is for you Kagome.' he said mentally. Kagome seemed to know what he was going to do and
shook her head furiously. With a last apologetic look he looked away and tapped into his demon powers. Toshio threw
the ball, but this time the ball moved extremely slowly. Inuyasha waited patiently as the ball got closer. Then with all
of his might Inuyasha swung the bat and connected. *CRAACK* The ball flew skyward never to be seen by the school again.

Everyone stared at the sky in awe. That ball was gone. Inuyasha smugly dropped the bat and walked around the baseball
diamond grinning victoriously at Toshio who just glared. When Inuyasha arrived at second base he had to push the person
on his team who was still standing in awe to get moving. Inuyasha continued his lesiourly stroll back to home plate. Kagome
just sighed and shook her head. That was the second thing Inuyasha had sent into orbit on his visit.

*********************************************************************************************************************

"This is Seargent Gearson. I'm reading a U.F.O. incoming. Can you make visiual contact?" Kenneth Bowersox, commander
of expedition six to the International Space Station looked up from his zero-g work outside of the space station.
"Negative control. Wait I see something. It appears to be a, a baseball?" The ball, who had slowed considerably floated
towards Kenneth Bowersox. Reaching out he caught the ball and looked at it in awe. "Where did this come from?"

**********************************************************************************************************************

Kagome watched as the game played on. Inuyasha didn't get another turn on bat for a while, probably becuase the team
captain was too afraid of Toshio. Kagome looked at the clock in the dugout. Still about 10 minutes left till the end
of class. The three girls had watched in silence with Kagome as they waited for Inuyasha to get another turn on base.
"Kagome." Yuka said tentatively. "Yeah?" Kagome looked over at Yuka who was more than a little nervous, but her nosy side
eventually won out. "Are you going to marry Inuyasha?" Yuka gulped waiting for Kagome to get angry or start yelling.
Kagome looked away and blushed. Yuka sighed in relief. "I don't know." she said softly. Eri and Ayumi, reassured that
Kagome wasn't going to try and strangle them again joined the conversation.

"If he asked you would you say yes?" Ayumi asked Kagome blushed some more. "I'm too young to get married." Ayumi grinned.
"Does that mean if he asked you when you are older that you would marry him?" Kagome didn't know. "Maybe." The girls
squeeled in delight. "Can we be flower girls?" Eri asked excitedly. Kagome just stared at her. "I didn't say I was marrying
NOW." Then Kagome relized something. "You'd better not tell him either!" she said. Yuka grinned. "Why? It doesn't seem like
one-sided love to me."

On the other side of the field Inuyasha was sitting in the dugout angrily. Mr. Takashi noticed this. "Hey Origumi!
Put Inuyasha up to bat. You've missed him in the last couple of rotations." (So thats the nameless guy's name.)
Inuyasha grinned. Kagome had told him during lunch that Mr. Takashi was the only teacher not afraid of Toshio and his
father. Mr. Takashi just winked at him.

Toshio glared at Inuyasha and Mr. Takashi. 'Just becuase he's my uncle he thinks he can do what he wants.' Inuyasha
got up to the plate smirking at Toshio. "Ready for another one Toto?" Inuyasha called. Toshio glared at Inuyasha.
'Lets see how good you look with a baseball up your nose.' Toshio wound up and threw the ball directly ar Inuyasha's
head as hard as he could. Inuyasha of course saw it coming. He could easily have dodged it. But Inuyasha wasn't afraid
of a ball. It would make him look bad if he ducked. This was a challenge from one male to another and Inuyasha was going
to take it beating his chest (not literally).

Inuyasha tilted his head so the ball wouldn't knock off his hat. It collided with his forehead and a lot of people gasped.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted, forgetting he was a hanyou. Kagome started to run out of the dugout when she noticed Inuyasha
was just standing there, rubbing a small bump on his head. Inuyasha looked over at Mr. Takashi. "That means I get to go
on to first right?" Mr. Takashi nodded dumbstruck. Inuyasha walked to first smirking triumphantly at Toshio. Kagome just
sighed in relief and went back to the dugout. 'I bet he did that on purpase too.'

Class 6 Art

Inuyasha continued to paint the castle he had started yesterday. His team had lost, but only becuase he was the only one
trying to win. 'Whys everyone so afraid of that weakling anyway?' he thought. Inuyasha looked at his painting. He had gotten
most of the landscape done. But there was something missing from the picture. 'Kagome.' he thought. She had been standing
there. Inuyasha wanted to paint her too, but he didn't know if he was that good and this was supposed to be a picture of a
building, not a person. 'Maybe later.' he thought as he put his paints away when the bell rang.

************************************************************************************************************************

Kagome and Inuyasha headed for the bus. "Oh no I forgot my bag!" Kagome said. "I'll be right back." Kagome ran back to the
school and got her bag out of her locker. She then ran back outside of the school and started to walk towards the bus where
Inuyasha was waiting. "Hey Kagome." Kagome turned to see Toshio. "What do you want?" she asked. She was still angry at him
for hitting Inuyasha with a baseball even though he wasn't really hurt. Toshio smirked. "How about you forget about Inuyasha
and hang out with me today?" Kagome glared at him. "I don't think so." Toshio laughed. "Fine then, I'll cut to the chase.
What will it take for you to tell me what Inuyasha's weakness is?" Kagome sniffed. "He doesn't have one." Toshio laughed.
"Everyone has a weakness. How would you like to graduate top of your class? I could make it happen if you tell me Inuyasha's
faults."

Kagome turned away. "I'll tell you what Inuyasha's fault is. He tends to break the arms of people he doesn't like." Toshio
growled and grabbed Kagome by the arm roughly. "Ow let go!" Toshio pulled her back towards his still holding her arm. "I'm
not done with you yet girl." he growled. Suddenly there was a hand on Toshio's arm. "Let go of her." Inuyasha snarled.
Inuyasha squeezed Toshio's arm harder making him let go of Kagome. "Kagome get on the bus." It wasn't a request and Kagome
obeyed. "Don't kill him." she whispered, but Inuyasha's ears could hear and he nodded before turning towards Toshio.
"The only reason you are still alive is becuase of Kagome. Don't you ever touch her again or else I will kill you."

Inuyasha released Toshio's arm and headed back to the bus where he had left his bag in his seat. 'Hope those darn girls
stayed out of it.' he thought. He dileberatly kept his mind of Toshio. He didn't have the Testsuigia with him and it wouldn't
be good if he transformed. But he still felt the urge to kill Toshio tugging at him from the back of his mind. 'Toshio
deserved to die.' It reasoned. 'He touched your mate.' Inuyasha shook the thoughts away. 'Kagome is not my mate. She is
my girlfriend. Theres a difference.' 'Whats the difference? You protect her. You are the only one.' Inuyasha didn't know
the difference, but there had to be some. 'Kagome said that a girlfriend isn't permanent. Thats a difference.' 'So shes your
temporary mate then. He should still die for touching her.'

Inuyasha finally got the voice in his head to leave him alone. 'There are other differences.' he thought firmly. 'She is
not my mate..yet.' Toshio watched as Inuyasha got on the bus. "So thats his weakness." he said rubbing his arm. A bruise was
already forming. Toshio smirked and headed to meet a 'friend' of his.

**************************************************************************************************************************

Inuyasha sat down by Kagome on the bus. "Are you all right?" he asked. Kagome smiled and nodded. I'm fine thanks to you
Inuyasha." She gave him a kiss on the cheek. Kagome could see something was wrong. "Inuyasha whats wrong?" she asked
concerned. "Whats the differences between being a girlfried and a mate?" he asked looking at her. Kagome blushed a little.
'He would ask this so soon after Yuka, Ayumi, and Eri asked me if I'd marry him.' Kagome thought. "Well. First of all
its not always permanent. And when couples usually don't well.." Kagome said blushing. "Mate?" he asked still looking
at her seriously. Kagome nodded. 'How can he say it so calmly?' She wondered. 'There thats the difference.' Inuyasha
thought. Inuyasha wrapped his arm around Kagome and relaxed. She leaned against him thinking. 'I wonder why he wants to
know?' Kagome hoped that he didn't mean that he would never consider marrying her, but she had a feeling that wasn't it.
He had been so angry when Toshio had touched her. Maybe he already thought of her as that, but didn't want to go to far.
'I can live with that.' she thought snuggling against him with a small smile on her face.

**************************************************************************************************************************
Hojo looked up from his book. "Hey Toshio hows it going? What happened to your arm?" he asked. Toshio snorted. "None of
your business. I need your little black book. Look up Higurashi." Hojo nodded and got up. He went to the back of his room
and slid several books off his shelf. Behind them was a secret compartment with several very large black books. Hojo took
out the A-H book. In it was every girl in school with a last name from a-h and all the information Hojo had collected on
them over the years.

"Here it is." he said pointing to a page. "Not much on it though. Her address and number. She once told me she had cheated
on a Math exam. But no real dirt on her." Toshio looked at the page and nodded. He handed the book back to Hojo. "I need
information. Anything that will help me against Inuyasha. You know what to do." Hojo grinned. "You got it boss."


Mwahaha Hojo! I always thought he was a little TOO dense. Please Review! Comments Suggestions death threats or fic requests
