Chapter 5: Detention, a new arrival, and Kagome.

"Detention. . ." Inuyasha muttered darkly.

"Sorry." Kagome whispered, looking down.

"Yea, well, sorry won't get me outta detention!"

"I know but. . . Hey look on the bright side!" Kagome wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck from behind and pointed to his right. "You have an admirer." Inuyasha turned his head to the right and nearly screamed.

There in the chair, two seats away, was a girl with the word "I" written on her forehead, the word "love" written on her right eyelid, and on her left eyelid the word "you" was written. On her hands were the words that almost caused him to hurl. On her right hand were the words "marry me", on the left hand was the word "Inuyasha."

"Isn't that cute!" Kagome squealed.

"No, that is not cute! Now get your arms offa me!" Inuyasha whispered angrily.

"No," Kagome joked. "I like being like this." She playfully rubbed her cheek on the back of his head, and giggled.

Inuyasha blushed, but quickly shook it off. "That is not funny! Get your arms offa me, or you'll regret it!"

"Oh yea? How are you going to make me 'regret it'?

"I have ways."

"Oh really? Show me then!"

"Fine! I will!" Inuyasha reached back and grabbed her side.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Stop! That tickles! If you don't stop I'll bite you!"

"Get your arms offa me!"

"Fine." Kagome unwrapped her arms and stuck her tongue out behind his back.

"Don't stick your tongue out at me little girl!"

Kagome sat in the seat next to Inuyasha and laid her head on her arms. "You're probably gay, anyway."

Inuyasha slammed his hands on his desk and stood up yelling, "I'm not gay!"

The detention teacher looked up in mild agitation, took off her glasses and spoke, "Mr. Inuyasha! That is very nice to know, but please sit down!"

Inuyasha sat down slowly, very embarrassed. "How come, since I've known you, that has been happening a lot? Anyway, I have a girlfriend, for your information. She is even going to meet me after d-hall."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Men and their egos. . ."

*A little while later *

*Ring! Ring! Rin-* Cough* *Choke *

Inuyasha stood up and walked out of d-hall with Kagome. "Um," Kagome started. "Why do they do the bells themselves?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "Why not? It saves them money."

"Inuyasha! Wait up!" A feminine voice cried out. Kagome froze; she knew that voice. But how could that be possible? It would be too much of a coincidence.

Inuyasha turned around and smiled. "Kikyou!" Kagome's stomach did a summer salt. She just had to jinx herself, didn't she?

Kikyou stopped in front of Inuyasha. "Inu-chan, I'm very sorry, but I have to cancel all our dates this weekend."

"Huh? Kikyou, but why?" Inuyasha asked, confused.

"I have to go to my stupid cousin's funeral."

"Oh. . ."

"You can come if you want to!"

"If it's to be with you, of course I will go!"

"Good! At least there will be someone else there that can't stand her!"

"I don't even know her."

"Exactly! She can't fool you with her little 'innocent act.'"

"'Innocent act?'"

"Yes. She always makes people think that she is innocent; but she is really a witch! Once she spilt her hot chocolate all over my favorite dress, then said that it was an accident! But I saw through that!"

Kagome stopped walking. Inuyasha looked back at her, her hands were fisted to her sides in anger. Suddenly she jumped backwards, and in midair she disappeared. Inuyasha shuddered, that still gave him goose bumps, the way she did that.

Inuyasha and Kikyou kept walking and talking about how horrible this cousin of Kikyou was.

^0^ -_-0
"Inuyasha!" Inuyasha's dad roared. "Where have you been all day?!"

"I got detention." Inuyasha replied.

"What for?!"

"Kagome followed me to school today."

"How many times do I have to tell you?! WE ARE NOT BEING HAUNTED!"

Mrs. Inu walked across the hall from out of nowhere. "Yes we are, dear." Then disappeared into another door.

Mr. Inu stood there with a blank look on his face. "How does she do that? Well anyway, I thought I told you that you had to pick up your mother's, sister's, father's, uncle's, brother's. . ." It went on like this for a while. . . "cousin's cousin at the airport." By the end of that Inuyasha had a long trail of spit running down his chin.

"Ok. I think that I'm going to go now."
^0^ -_-0
When Inuyasha got to the airport there was a kid sitting on a bench with an annoyed look on his face. Inuyasha noticed him from a picture that his father and shown him. He walked over to the kid, the kid looked up. "You Shippo?"

The kid stood up. "You Inuyasha?"

"Come on,"

"Wait! Do you know how long I've been waiting?! You were supposed to pick me up three hours ago!"

"Blah, blah, blah! I'm so sorry! I had detention! Now lets go!"

They got in the car and lucky Inuyasha got to have another lecture, this one about punctuality.

Finally they got home!
^0^ -_-0

Inuyasha and Kikyou had just gotten off the plane from Kyoto to Tokyo, when Inuyasha saw Kagome float by, ahead of them. Inuyasha walked a little faster and whispered to Kagome, "Must you fallow me everywhere?! What are you doing here anyway?!"

Kagome turned and looked at Inuyasha. "If you had not come, I wouldn't get to go either. One of the members of the Inu family has to be with me or I have to be in the Inu mansion. I can only go a little ways away from you or the mansion. I am here for my own reasons. This weekend I will not bother you."

Kagome disappeared, leaving Inuyasha quite confused. Kikyou latched onto Inuyasha's arm and started telling him about where they were going to stay and all. "You see we are going to have to stay at my aunt's house. I get the guestroom, and you can ether have the couch or my cousins room. The funeral is today, so. . . (she hasn't said the name Kagome, because she loathes her, and can't stand to hear her name.)"

When they got to the house Inuyasha was shocked to learn that it was a shrine. Lots of people were around crying and stuff. Kikyou had mentioned that the funeral would be at the shrine. Something caught his eye, Kagome was walking in where the body was.

Inuyasha followed Kikyou to the main house where he saw a woman with short, curly, black hair, blue eyes-which reminded him a lot of Kagome's-, crying. "Oh auntie! I miss her so much!" Kikyou lied, running to hug her aunt.

"I know, we all do. Oh," The woman looked up and tried to put on a happy face. "who is this?"

"Auntie, I would like you to meet the most wonderfullest guy in the whole world, Inuyasha, my boyfriend! Inuyasha meet my aunt Higurashi. Auntie meet Inuyasha."

Mrs. Higurashi held out her hand, "Nice to meet you." Inuyasha did likewise.

Kikyou took Inuyasha's hand and dragged him into the kitchen. Looking around she found what she was looking for. Onions. "If you can't cry for real, make it look like you are." She put some chopped onions into her pockets.

"I'll wait for you by the coffin." Inuyasha said and walked out of the kitchen and into the part of the house where the body was. Kagome was looking at the body with bitterness all over her face. She looked up at Inuyasha and walked through him and up the stairs. Inuyasha wondered who could have made Kagome look like that. Never had he seen her looking at anything like that. He walked over to the coffin and looked in.

There, was the pale, peaceful face of Kagome herself. Inuyasha took a step back out of shock. "K-Ka-Kagome?"
