Time for a change part 34

Hello again. I'm feeling kinda better today :).

Hanyou- Half Demon
Youkai-Full Demon

How did I come up with Yuna's name? I just switched the R in Yura with an N becuase I needed another name :).

Xixisnant-I looked back into my reviews but I couldn't find yours :(. Please post it again and i'll respond.

Kagome deliberately ignored Toshio, determined not to let him ruin her time with Inuyasha. "Try skating backwards."
Kagome suggested as she demonstrated. Inuyasha watched her for a moment before trying it himself. As he tried he slipped
and started to fly backwards. Inuyasha spun around and brought one of his legs foreward to land on effortlessly on his
skate. "Wow." Kagome said. "Where did you learn to balance so well?" Inuyasha gave her a blank look. "I live in trees
Kagome."

Just then a large group of people skated onto the rink. Inuyasha scanned them carefully for Toshio or Yuna, but neither
was present. "Come on Inuyasha, the races are going to start soon so lets skate while we can." Kagome said. Inuyasha
nodded and followed her as she skated off.

On the sidelines Toshio motioned for Hojo to come over. Hojo got up from his seat where he had been spying on Kagome
and Inuyasha and walked over. "Get some skates on. I want you to be in the races." Toshio informed. Hojo nodded and
grinned at Yuna. "Hey Yuna I haven't seen you in a while." Yuna glared at him before skating off to some unknown
destination. Toshio smirked at Hojo. "I don't think she's forgiven you for dumping her." he said. Hojo looked a little
hurt. "Well technically YOU made me dump her so I could work on those black books full time."

Toshio chuckled a little. "My sister isn't one to share so it was inevitable anyways." Hojo sighed. "Go get some skates."
Toshio ordered and Hojo headed off.

Inuyasha sat next to Kagome in the center of the rink. Around them where dozens of other people, are going to race however
noone was any closer than five feet from Kagome besides Inuyasha. Kagome waited patiently as the younger groups of kids
raced. Inuyasha had another past time, glaring at Toshio. Toshio simply ignored him as he too waited for his race.
"Ages fifteen to seventeen." The DJ called. Kagome got up but Inuyasha simply sat there. "Inuyasha get up. This is our race."
she said. Inuyasha smirked. "I'm not fifteen to seventeen." he said. Kagome rolled her eyes. "You look it so get up. Besides
I don't think there is a race for people over sixty."

Inuyasha sighed and got up. They both skated over to the start line, Inuyasha right next to Kagome. Inuyasha prepared to
skate his fastest. He had watched several other people skate and had a feeling Kagome wasn't going to win so he resolved
himself to claim the glory and hope Kagome didn't realize he had let her win earlier. If all went well she'd shower him
with ego boosting praise and be none the wiser. That brought a smirk to his face. Then he smelt something that knocked
that right smirk off. Yuna, and she was getting closer. 'Gods she smells worse than ever.' he thought.

Inuyasha took a deep breath of the already perfume polluted air and held it. Yuna skated up and stopped right next to him.
"Hi Inuyasah." she said giving him a seductive smile. Inuyasha just gave her a little nod and a glare before looking away.
'Hurry up and start damn you.' he thought. Kagome hadn't noticed Yuna yet, but did notice that Inuyasha was starting to get
a little blue in the face. "Inuyasha are you all right?" Kagome asked. The hanyou simply nodded and closed his eyes, urging
himself not to breath. 'START!'

"Get ready." the DJ said in an infuriatingly (for Inuyasha) slow sentance. "Get Set." Inuyasha swore he would kill that man
if he didn't start. "GO!" Inuyasha took off like a rocket moving with a speed caused by desperation from lack of oxygen.
Before anyone had gotten a quarter of the way he was halfway around the rink panting for air. "Don't stop Inuyasha!"
Kagome called behind him as Toshio, Hojo and several others sped towards him. One of those others was Yuna. Inuyasha took
off once again at a slightly slower speed, but still fast enough to keep ahead of the game.

Inuyasha stopped at the the start line smirking smugly as he watched Toshio and several other people pass him. 'Humans are
so slow even with these blade shoe things.' he thought. Instead of congrajulating him Kagome shouted. "Inuyasha the race is
two laps weren't you watching!" Inuyasha's eyes popped wide open. He took off again quickly catching up with the leaders.
Then something unexpected happened. Yuna latched on to his arm. "Want to go get something to eat after the race?" she asked
dragging on him as he continued to skate. Inuyasha opened his mouth to tell the girl off and regretted it when he got a
mouthful of perfumy air. Inuyasha stumbled as he started to cough.

In the confusion Yuna let go of his arm and skated into Hojo, they both fell to the ground in a heap. Still coughing and
hacking Inuyasha fell on his rear fighting for consiousness. Kagome stopped next to him and leaned over him. "Inuyasha are
you all right?" she asked concern filling her face. Inuyasha turned his head and focused on her. Luckily, through all of
this his hat was still in place on his head. Having something to focus on made staying conscious a lot easier. "I'm fine."
he said as the coughs finally stopped and his head stopped swimming.

Meanwhile, Toshio had won the race and was taking his victory lap. He saw Kagome leaning over an imobolized Inuyasha. From
her kneck he saw a dangling locket. 'Perfect.' he thought as he sped up towards Kagome. In one swipe Toshio reached out
and snapped the necklace off her kneck. Smirking at the shocked expression on her face, Toshio dropped the locket and its
broken chain where it was promply run over by some innocent bystanders rollar blades. Chuckiling, Toshio headed for
the exit, his work here was done.

Kagome was reaching to help Inuyasha up when she felt a tug and heard a snap. Her eyes widened as she turned to see her
locket several feet away right in the middle of skating traffic. 'My locket.' she thought helplessly as someone accidently
ran over it. Inuyasha meanwhile stood up still shaking his head. Then he notice Kagome's stunned expression. "Oi Kagome are
you all right?" he asked. He notice Kagome had a hand on her chest clutching something, or rather clutching what wasn't
there. Feeling he wasn't going to like what he saw, Inuyasha let his gaze follow Kagome's. He was right he didn't like what
he saw.

Inuyasha felt a surge of anger as he got up and skated over to the broken locket. 'Whoever did this is going to pay.' the
thought as he picked up the pieces of the locket. The picture hadn't been damaged, but the glass that held it in was
shattered and the gold casing had broken into several pieces. Holding them in his hand he waited for Kagome to skate beside
him. "Who did this?" he growled. Kagome blinked back tears. 'Why am I so upset over a locket?' she wondered. It probably
wasn't as much the locket itself as who had given it to her. "I-I don't know. I was helping you up and something snagged
the chain and it just broke off." she said softly.

Inuyasha sniffed the shards of the locket. The scent was faint, but Inuyasha could make it out. Inuyasha closed his fist
around the broken locket as a single name came to mind. 'Toshio.' Inuyasha searched for him in the crowd, but he was nowhere
to be seen. Kagome on the other hand, seemed to be on the verge of crying so Inuyasha prioritized. Stop Kagome from crying,
then get revenge on Toshio. Inuyasha tucked the broken locket into his pants pocket and grabbed Kagome's arms gently.
"Lets go home." he said softly. Kagome nodded and bit back her tears.

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

As they exited the rink Kagome started to walk towards the bus stop, but Inuyasha stopped her. "Where are you going?" he
asked. Kagome gave him a confused look. "The bus stop." she said. Inuyasha shook his head and motioned for her to get on
her back. Kagome quickly checked to make sure that there was noone around before climbing onto Inuyasha's back. She snuggled
her head into him and sighed. Being this close to him made her feel a lot better about the locket insident. Inuyasha leapt
up in the air and landed on the nearest building. He then made his way back to the shrine at best possible speed.

They quickly made it back to the shrine while Kagome marveled at his sense of direction. 'Or maybe he does it by smell?'
she wondered as she started to slide of the hanyou's back. Inuyasha kept her in place with his strong hands that were
wrapped under her legs. He started to walk towards the well shrine. "Where are we going?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha snorted.
"I told you we're going home. We'll come back tonight." he explained. Kagome sighed not feeling up to an argument even if
she didn't want to go back and let him carry her through the well shrine door and down the well.

When they appeared on the other side of the well Inuyasha leapt up to the surface and continued to carry her towards the
village making sure to keep as much distance from the house he was building as possible as he did. Soon, too soon for Kagome
who was quiet comfortable on Inuyasha's back, they arrived at Kaede's hut and Inuyasha sat Kagome down. Just then Sango
exited the hut with a towel and some of Kagome's bath supplies in hand. "Don't you dare try and peak at me." Sango warned
someone in the hut, presumably Miroku, before turning around to see Inuyasha and Kagome. Sango automatically could tell
something was bothering Kagome, which is probably why Inuyasha and her were here. "Hello Kagome. I was just about to take
a bath. Would you like to join me?" she asked pretending nothing was wrong.

Kagome smiled, glad to have another girl she could talk to. "I'd love to Sango, let me just go get another towel." With that
Kagome entered the hut, Inuyasha could hear greetings from inside the hut exchanged by Miroku, Kagome, Shippo, and Kaede.
Inuyasha removed the hat he had been wearing and stuffed it into another one of his pockets so he could keep an ear on what
was going on inside incase the perverted monk got any ideas. "Sango." he said. "Take Kiara with you and send her to tell me
when Kagome is heading back. I'll be at the house." he said. Sango nodded. "What's wrong with Kagome?" Sango asked. Inuyasha
was about to respond when Kagome exited with a towel. "Lets go." Kagome said cheerfully. Sango nodded and started to walk
towards the hot spring calling Kiara as she did.

Kagome started to follow Sango but Inuyasha caught her arm. "Are you all right?" Inuyasha asked searching her face. Kagome
gave a small smile. "I'll be fine Inuyasha, I'm just kind of sad that the locket you gave me broke. Thankyou." with that
she kissed him softly before heading in the direction Sango had gone. Inuyasha watched her go before sighing and heading
into the hut to get Miroku.

Thats all for today. Please Review it. I was planning to add more but once again school work rears its ugly head.
