Inuyasha's Christmas Adventure
Chapter 3
It was Friday afternoon. A Kagome walk down the hall, having just left lunch and was headed back to class. 'Only two more classes to go.' She thought to herself as she fought her way threw the crowed hallway. 'Inuyasha should be at my house when I get home. And he'll want to drag me back to the Futile Era as usual.'
That's when it happened. Dark, billowing smoke came pouring out of one of the side hallways causing Kagome and the other students around her to start coughing and choking. Just then someone found the fire alarm and pulled it, causing even more confusion and chaos to erupt in the hallway as students and teachers left their classrooms to go to the exits.
'I have to get out of here.' Kagome thought to herself as she started coughing heavily. She heard the sound of fire trucks in the distance as she made her way down the hall. 'I can't see anything.' She thought putting her hand on the wall next to her as she tried to make her way to an exit. The smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and it was getting harder to breath. 'Inuyasha.' Was her last thought as she passed out.
****
Inuyasha jumped out of the well. Walking out of the well house he sniffed the air. 'Well, she isn't home yet. It smells like only her mom and grandfather are home.' He thought to himself. That's when he noticed the smell of smoke. "Great, now the air smells even worse." He mumbled to himself as he walked toward her house. He knew that the fire was a few miles away so he wasn't too worried. Kagome had told him how they have people trained to fight fires in her era.
He poked his head in the house to see if anyone was around. Not seeing anyone he walked in. He heard movement and what sounded like music coming from what Kagome called 'the kitchen' so he went to see who was there. Looking in he saw Kagome's mom getting some items out of the large white box called a 'refrigerator'.
Kagome's mom looks up, having heard someone come in the house. "Oh, hello Inuyasha. I wasn't expecting to see you until later." She said smiling at him and moving to the counter with the items she had taken out of the refrigerator. "Kagome should be home from school in about two hours. Would you like something to eat?"
"Feh, whatever." He said looking around the room to locate where the music was coming from. He decided that it had to be coming from a weird looking black box that he noticed sitting on the counter. Walking over he sniffed it and took one of his claws and poked at it. The box moved around on the counter a little but that's all that happened.
"That's a radio Inuyasha. It plays music, news and sports depending on what station you turn to." Mrs. Higurashi said chuckling walking over to him. "See." She started to turn the dial to show him how the stations change. She stopped on a random station. "This ones news. It tells you what.." She didn't finish her sentence because the news broadcast caught her attention.
".Breaking news, there is a three alarm fire at Sakura Middle School. There are three fire trucks on the scene already and two more are.."
Turning off the radio Mrs. Higurashi turned quickly to Inuyasha. "We have to go. Now." With that she quickly headed toward the door to get her coat and purse.
"Why?" He asked as he followed her into the hallway. He had never seen Kagome's mom act like this and the smell of fear coming off of her was getting him worried.
"The school that they were talking about on the radio is the same one that Kagome goes to." She said quickly handing him one of Sota's old baseball caps. "Put this on. You might want to give me your sword; people don't walk around with swords anymore. We can put it in the car with us." She said quickly heading out of the house with Inuyasha following behind.
He put the hat on grumbling to himself about how stupid hats are when he fully realized what Kagome's mom had told him. 'Kagome's school is on fire!' "Kuso! Here, make sure to bring it with you." He said tossing his sheathed sword at a surprised Mrs. Higurashi, and ran full speed in the direction of the fire. 'Kagome, I'm coming.'
****
He arrived at the school to find it in complete chaos. Students and teachers were all standing far away from the building. There were students milling around looking for their friends. Parents were arriving adding to the confusion as they looked for their children. There were three fire engines there with their hoses criss-crossing the grass in front of the building. He could also see an ambulance, two police cars and hear sirens coming down the road.
He stopped for a second to sniff the air. 'Damn, I can't smell her.' He thought to himself. Looking at the crowd of students and teachers, he figured that if she were anywhere she would be in the crowd. He quickly started walking around the outer edge of the crowd looking around and constantly sniffing the air to find her scent incase he didn't see her.
When he had walked the whole length of the crowd and hadn't spotted her he began to worry. 'Damn, where could she be?' He thought at he started back the way he came. That's when he over heard two girls talking and his heart nearly stopped in his chest.
"Hey, where's Kagome?"
"What do you mean? Didn't you have lunch with her today?"
"Yeah but she had already left the cafeteria when the fire alarm went off."
His head snapped around in the direction of the voices. He spotted the two girls only a few feet away from him. One had curly hair and the other had short hair with a headband. He walked over to them.
"Oi, do you two know Kagome?" He asked the girls, which startled them.
"Y-yes." Said the girl with curly hair.
"Where is she?" He asked the girls glancing quickly from one to the other.
"We don't know. The last time I saw her was at lunch." The girl with the headband said eyeing Inuyasha nervously.
"Where was that, how do I get there?" He demanded. He was getting worried and very angry that these 'friends' of Kagome's could lose her so easily.
"Over there, through those doors, but you can't.."
"Watch me." Was all he said as he ran to the set of doors that Kagome's friend and pointed to. When he go there he opened the door and was hit by a wall of smoke, which made him take a step back as he covered his mouth and nose with the sleeve of his harori coughing. 'Kuso, the smoke is really thick.' He thought as he made his way into the building, ignoring the shouts from behind him, and the distant roaring of the fire from inside the building.
He took a few steps, letting the door close behind him and he crouched down so he could look around. 'If she is still in here then she would probably be passed-out on the floor somewhere.' He thought as he started to walk forward, scanning on both sides of the hallway as he went.
After walking about twenty yards he spotted a form laying on the floor. He ran over to it and turned over to reveal its face and his breath caught in his throat. 'Kagome.' He quickly took off his harori and covered her with it. "Hold on Kagome, don't die on me." He whispered as he scooped her up into his arms and ran back to the door.
He threw the door open and stumbled out into the fresh air coughing, clutching Kagome tightly to his chest. He made his way a safe distance from the building before laying her down on the grass. He pulled he harori down to reveal her face, which had dark smudges of soot from the being in the building.
Sitting down next to her he pulled her head onto his lap, like she had done for him the last time he had been seriously hurt. He gently tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "Kagome, are you alright?" He asked quietly. He heard a commotion behind him and turned in time to see the two girls he had talked to earlier come running over followed by a third girl shouting.
"Kagome! Oh Kami-sama!"
"Kagome!"
"Kagome, are you alright?"
All three girls kneeled down on the ground next to their friend. The girl with the curly hair took her hand and checked her for a pulse. "She is still alive, we need to get her some help." She then jumped up and ran toward the area where the fire fighters were stationed.
He watched her friend leave, thankful that he at least he knew that she was still alive. After a few moments she took a ragged breath and started to cough hard. He scooped her back up and put her in his lap, rubbing her back as she coughed.
"Kagome, are you alright? What happened?" He asked her. Her friends also expressing their own worry and relief next to him.
"Inu-Inuyasha." She managed to whisper between coughing attacks. She opened her eyes and looked up at him confused. "W-what are you #cough, cough# doing h-here?"
"Feh, saving your sorry ass as usual." He said as the curly haired girl came back over with a women dressed in a uniform holding a large box.
She smiled at him as he lowered her gently to the ground and stood up to let the medic examine her and give her some oxygen. Her mom came hurrying over a few moments later. She looked up at her mom and smiled as she knelt down next to her and asked her is she was ok. "I'm fine mom. Inuyasha saved me."
