Hello and welcome to the next exciting chapter in Inuyasha and Kagome. Now for all of you who weren't aware that I replaced my AN with a chapter. This is Chapter 16!! Holding the long awaited HOJO beating!!*cheers* So here we go With Inuyasha and Kagome Chapter 16: Demon Inuyasha and Hojo, you do the math! (Oh and as always I DON'T OWN INUYASHA, its owned by some Japanese dude in Japan)

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


Inuyasha watch as Kagome hopped into her car (Did I mention it was a red Dodge Viper convertible, I've always wanted one ^_^) followed by Sota and drove off . Inuyasha eyes fell, he missed Kagome already. (Awwwww) He wanted her to stay with him but nooooo she has to go to school and do that stupid play with that stupid- 'HOJO!!' "Oh no way in hell I'm letting him get anywhere near MY Kagome!" Inuyasha ran outside and jump from tree to tree and occasionally using rooftops, just staying out of site.


He arrived at the school just as Kagome parked nearby and got out of her car. He was going to go down to her and protest against this whole thing, but he saw Hojo running up to Kagome. That boy just being near her made his blood boil, though any guy being near Kagome made his blood boil. He hid in a tree not to far from Kagome tp watch and listen, and ready to attack if necessary.(it wont be, but he will anyways)


~*~


Kagome got out of her car the looked around. She could have sworn she saw a flash of white hop into the tree right there. That means that...nooo 'Inuyasha wouldn't follow me to school'. Just then she heard somebody calling her name. She turned and saw who else but Hojo running to her waving with that stupid grin on his face. 'It looks like he already forgot about yesterday, man he's dense.' Kagome smiled and waved politely, "Hi Hojo." Hojo came up to her smiling as usually, "Hey Kagome, I was worried about you after yesterday, you didn't seem yourself." 'Just because I turned you down and chose Inuyasha I wasn't being myself!' was what she wanted to say, but who knew what Hojo might do so she played it cool, "Oh no, I'm fine", she said, then perked when her thoughts drifted to Inuyasha, "Actually I'm great!"


"Oh okay, well kagome I just wanted to say", Hojo put his hand on Kagome's shoulder, Inuyasha had to keep from jumping out of the tree, "That if you ever need anything, I will always be here for you." This was about the only to he spoke when he seemed sincere and not dense. "Oh..okay..um. Thanks." Hojo leaned in and gave Kagome a kiss on the cheek which rather unnerved her, but she suddenly got a strange sense that something bad was about to happen, and in about three seconds here theory was proven.


Right when Hojo pulled away from Kagome he was on the ground being beaten to a pulp by her hanyou. But there was something different about Inuyasha, and then she saw it. A hint of red in his eye and strips on his cheeks. His demon blood had risen and taken over due to his possessiveness over Kagome.( no surprise there really) ut Kagome had to do something or Inuyasha would kill Hojo, and that would not be too good for either of them.


She ran over first and tried to pull on Inuyasha arms to get him off, but to no avail. She couldn't sit him because then he would crush Hojo, and she could never bring herself to shot him with an arrow and she hadn't perfected controlling her miko powers yet. "Inuyasha! I don't want to hurt you! Stop! Please!" But her pleads didn't work either, she had no choice. Kagome raised her hand towards Inuyasha and concentrated. Her aura started to glow a pink and a beam shot from her hand and hit Inuyasha.


Luckily instead of sending a whole through him, the beam spread over him and gave him a shock as if he was being electrocuted. Inuyasha collapsed to the ground unconscious. Kagome sighed, relieved it was finally over with..for now at least.


She did her best to pick up Inuyasha and put him in the backseat of her car, then she went to tend Hojo, good thing she kept supplies in her trunk. She ran over to him, and surprisingly for getting beaten by Inuyasha he wasn't as bad as she thought he was going to be. Oh nooo, he was only a bloody pulp! She was sooo going to scorn Inuyasha for this. She called an ambulance while she treated as many wounds as she could and managed to stop most of the bleeding. Once she heard the sirens of the ambulance though she was gone.


Kagome drove away as quick as she could with an unconscious demon Inuyasha with bloddy hands on her back seat 'Wait! DEMON!' Yup, Kagome took another look quick look just to be sure and snapped her head back around to concentrate on the road, Inuyasha full demon features still hadn't faded, so where was she going to take him?! She couldn't possibly take him back to the Feudal Era, that wouldn't be good for them, but she couldn't keep him here either. God and she was hoping to spend a peaceful two weeks with him. Enjoying his touch and kisses and..-SNAP her mind drifted someone where it shouldn't. (the closest this fic is going to get to lemon is a references and thoughts of it, but no actual lemon) 'Damn that monk, I'm sooooo going to kill him! But back to the matters at hand. Why hasn't Inuyasha changed back? In fact why did he change in the first place?'


Kagome took another look at Inuyasha and surveyed him. That's when she noticed that something was missing, the Tessaiga. 'He must have set it down when he changed and never picked it up again.' Okay, so now all she had to do was get Inuyasha home and get the Tessaiga to him. "Something tells me this isn't going to be as easy as it seems."


(I was thinking of ending it here, but its too short)


Kagome stopped at the bottom of her stairs and looked up, no way she could get Inuyasha up those, and it looks like he is starting to wake up too. Kagome drove around back to find the driveway she asked her mom to put in. She didn't use it often so it was covered with leaved and dirt and the trees hung low over it. If someone didn't know it was there they would have never noticed it. Kagome drove up and parked in front of the house, 'I told mom that a driveway would be a good idea.' Kagome finally breathed. She was worried Inuyasha would wake up before she got home and got the Tessaiga, but he was still knocked out.


Kagome hopped out of the car and ran inside the house. She checked the living room first, no sign of it. Then the kitchen, nope. Kagome started the worry. She ran upstairs and check the bedrooms, still nothing. Kagome looked out of the window of her bedroom and gasped. Inuyasha was waking up and still as demon as ever but she couldn't find the Tessagia. 'Oh my god oh my god oh my god,' " what the hell am I going to do?"


Kagome was so busy fretting she didn't noticed the person behind her. "Looking for this?" spoke a cold, hard voice. Kagome got chills down her spine as the voice spoke. It sounded so familiar, but no...it couldn't be. Kagome turned around and was frozen as she found herself face to face with... "Kikyo!"


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


Confused yet? Okay lets step away from the storyline for a moment and I'll explain to you what my theory of the well is. You see, the common explanation of the well is that as long as you carry a jewel shard you can pass through the well. But I don't think that's it because Inuyasha never carries any shards (mostly because Kagome doesn't let him) and he is allowed to pass through the well. So my there is that anyone who remains in contact with Kagome can pass through. You see, Inuyasha is tied to Kagome by the beads around his neck so ther for he is able to pass. And Kikyo carries part of her/Kagome's soul so she can pass. But now I do remember from episode number four, Yura's hair passed through the well. I haven't quite figured that out yet, but I do believe that a piece of the hair was with Kagome when she went through the well. So there, I believe that explains everything. Now back the to story.


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


"Kikyo!" "That's right", Kikyo took a few steps toward Kagome holding the Tessaiga, "I must say this time of your is very interesting, and what better a place to kill you in then your own room." Kagome backed up against the open window. (Nope. No plot-holes here) "Kill me, but..but...why?!" "Because you have gotten in the way of me and Inuyasha too many times, even though all you are is a copy of me Inuyasha had still fallen for you!" "Kikyo, I understand your upset but we have to get the Tessaiga to Inuyasha or he'll go on a murdering spree!" "What does it matter to me? I'll just wait till he kills you then give the sword back to him." "Then what? drag him to hell? If you really loved Inuyasha you would let him be happy." 'He will be happy you little wench! With me!"


Kikyo shot a blast towards Kagome, but Kagome put up a shield to protect herself. "I've been training Kikyo, if you want to get rid of me its not going to be that easy." "Fine you little girl!" Kikyo charged Kagome aiming to push her out the window. Kagome smirked as Kikyo got near and just as Kagome started to fall, she grabbed on to the Tessaiga to balance herself to keep from falling then pulled the sword out of Kikyo's grasp. Kikyo stood there with her mouth open in shock "What?...No matter, you will die before you can give it to him." Kikyo pushed her once more and sent Kagome hurdling to the ground. Lucky for her Inuyasha, though still full demon, was fully awake and she fell into his arms.


Kagome immediately jumped out of Inuyasha arms once she heard him growl and shoved the Tessaiga to him. "Inuyasha" she spoke softly. She saw his eyes flicker from red to amber then back to red. Then the color slowly turned to amber, his fangs shortened, and the stripes disappeared. "Ka...kagome?" Kagome smiled and wraped her arms around Inuyasha, "Your back to normal." "Uh...what happened?" "I'll explain everything too you later, right now we have a small problem." "What's wrong?"


Kikyo came out the front door ready to great Inuyasha and take the Tessaiga from Kagome's lifeless body and give it to him, instead she stopped dead in her tracks, "WHAT?! Your suppose to be dead! Get away from him, I told you Inuyasha's MINE!" Kikyo's aura flared all around her and turned from pink to red then black. Kagome shrank into Inuyasha but to no avail as Kikyo's demons came out of seemingly nowhere and captured Kagome. One wrapped around her left arm, another around her right, one around her legs and another around her neck, and they dragged her away from Inuyasha and into the air. "Kikyo! Let her go!" "No Inuyasha, once I rid us of this wench we can finally be together!"


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


And can you believe this is only the start of Kagome's problems, things are going to get a whole lot worse for her, but remember, things get worse before they get better. So that's the end of this chapter and since most of you didn't respond of the first chapter of Love is never easy and I know the first chapter was really corny, I think I'll re do it before I put it into its own story, but first get a second does in:


Love is Never Easy: Chapter 2


A broken promise? Or a broken heart?


"ten years, at high school. It's a promise!" Kagome smiled.


"Kagome!" called her mom again. "Goodbye Inuyasha!" Kagome said as she ran over to the car, "And don't forget!"


*ten years later*


He growled as the sun seeped through the blinds. His eyelids opened to reveal amber eyes with hints of sadness and longing. The silver-haired boy sat up in his bed and looked around. The walls of his room were pitch black with one room covered in papers with references to mikos. Inuyasha, now 18, had spent the past ten years as to where Kagome might have gone. He often went and visited her family but it turns out that during training Kagome isn't allowed to have contact with anyone outside of the training school.


He wanted to find her because it was his fault she had to leave in the first place. In school she sent a kid into a coma for making fun of him. That's how they had first met. But it got worse after that. Since she didn't know how to control her powers the more upset she got the stronger her powers got, she had almost killed one kid and all because she was standing up for him.


Inuyasha caught sight of the calendar and his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face, a smile that hadn't been there for ten years. Within seconds he was dressed and heading down stairs. He stopped in the kitchen grabbed a piece of toast and gave his mom a kiss on the cheek, "Morning mom! Isn't today a lovely day!" Inuyasha's mom was taken aback, she had never heard, nor seen her baby boy so cheery in so long, "Why, Inuyasha, what brings about the change of mood?" "Cause today's the day mom." Inuyasha mom smiled sweetly no understanding, after Kagome had left Inuyasha fell into a depression that never seemed to leave, "Inuyasha, I'm glad your excited, but don't get your hopes up, it has been ten years after all." She didn't want to crush his bubble, but she would hate to see it be crushed. "Mom, Kagome would never break a promise, I'm sure of it. Now if you'll excuse me, I wanna get to school." "Okay, dear, just be careful." She smiled as Inuyasha ran out the door saying his goodbyes.


~*~


Inuyasha didn't bother with any mode of transportation, he ran (more like jumped) to school he was so excited. He got to school and kids were standing around whispering like crazy when he arrived. He walked up to Sango and looked around, "Hey Sango, where's Miroku and what's everyone talking about?" "Well your standing on Miroku for one." Inuyasha looked down to see that in fact he was standing on Miroku. He reached down and pulled him up, "Someday your lechery is going to get you in serious trouble." Miroku smiled and rubbed his cheek, "Maybe, but it will all be worth it." "Anyways," sighed Sango, "People are talking because you only spent the past ten years making there lives miserable. And they all can't wait for this Kagome of yours to show up cause maybe you'll leave them alone and the rest of their lives can be peaceful!" "Its true my friend," Miroku patted him on the back, "Your not popular around here, your infamous....which isn't a good thing."


Inuyasha was just about to pound Miroku when the bell rang. He waited and watched as students filled into the school and to their classes, but no sign of her. Inuyasha sighed and went in making his way as slowly to class as possible while looking down every hallway for any sign of her, but still nothing. Inuyasha sighed again as the bell rang once more and trudged into his class room, maybe he would see her in his next class 'Doubtful, I'm two years older then her, while I'm a senior she should be like a sophomore or something, which means totally different schedule.'


Unknown to Inuyasha, A raven haired-girl was currently wandering the halls trying to find her class. "Damn, I hate being new. Not that I would no anything about that I've been at the same place for ten years..." "Do you need help?" Shr turned around and was surprised to find a person looking similar to herself...in fact, that girl could have been her if she didn't seem so cold and distant. "Umm..ya..I'm new here, do you think you could tell me where my first class is?" The girl took her schedule with a smile, "certainly." She looked at the schedule, the raven-haired girl saw a look of shock, then anger, then happy on the girls face, "Kagome Higurashi (not spelled right) is it? Well, a pleasure to meet you, my names Kikyo. And we seem to have the same class...though you seem no older then sixteen, how can you be an senior?" "I am 16, but at my last...uh...school, I was heavily tra-teached."


Kikyo nodded and started to lead the way chatting freely with Kagome. Once the reached the correct classroom kikyo stopped and turned towards Kagome, "Well this is it...but there's something I have to tell you first." "Umm..okay." 'This will really ruin them', thought Kikyo. "There's this boy in there Inuyasha, he's really cute,, silver-hair, amber eyes, and cute little ears on top of his head, he's a hanyou and all." Kagome's eyes lit up as she spoke, Kikyo almost felt bad but she was so close to having Inuyasha (NOT!!!) nothing could get in her way, "Well, he's my boyfriend, so do your best to stay away from him."


Tears almost came to Kagome's eyes. Ten years, ten years she had waited for him and he broke the promise. Kikyo smiled softly and told Kagome to cheer up then walked into the room smiling.


**


Inuyasha looked up as the door open only to see Kikyo walk through. 'Oh great its her.' Kikyo smiled and blew a kiss towards Inuyasha and waved, but that's not what attached his eyes to the front of the room. No, it was the girl that followed Kikyo, it had to be her.


Kikyo went up and whispered in the teachers ear then took her seat which was two from the right of Inuyasha. "Class", spoke the teacher, "We have a new student today, I would like you all to give a warm welcome to...Kagome Higarashi (I will never get that last name right) Kagome go ahead and take a seat" The teacher suveyed the class room only to find the student next to Inuyasha gone. Okay, not really gone, but knowcked on concious, "in between Kikyo and Inuyasha there." The teacher pointed.


Kagome looked up and locked eyes with Inuyasha. Inuyasha was smiling, but that smile turned to a frown when he saw nothing but anger and sadness in her eyes. Wondering what could have gone wrong he watched her as she walked up the aisle and sat next to him. He watched out of the corner of his eye as Kikyo leaned over and whispered to something to Kagome, he concentrated so he could hear. "Remeber Kagome, Inuyasha's my boyfriend.", is what she said, thinking Inuyasha couldn't hear.


'That' slut! Kagome hasn't been here five minutes and she's already ruining it, no wonder why she so angry. Kagome probably thinks I broke her promise...she probably thinks I forgot about her....'

And there's that! Okay so that's all for now. Let me know if you like it or not, and also if I should continue it here or wait till I get done with Inuyasha and Kagome cause I will not right two different stories in two different sections. Having to update two gets annoying, but if I keep them together it makes it easier. ^_^ So let me know!
