Chapter Eight: The Foreigner

Where is he? Inuyasha thought in frustration. He was the only thing between him and Kagome.
With nothing else to go on, he wildly started attacking Mortigern's men in hopes that he was in there and he'd be lucky enough to get him. Iron Reaver Soul Stealer! He said in anger and shredded a few enemy knights. Arthur's men kept falling back.
"Dammit!" Inuyasha said, unable to fight anymore. He went to Arthur's perch and tried to think.
"What happened out there?" Arthur demanded, on the verge of yelling at him.
"I don't know. I did exactly what you told me to do."
"Where could he be?!" Arthur said in rage. He looked down at the battle and saw his men receding up to his base of operations. Behind the enemy knights, the barren ground was littered with the corpses of his own men.
"That's IT! I'm going down there!" Arthur said, and pulled down his mask (on his helmet). It was then that Inuyasha noticed it.
"Wait. Look at me again." Inuyasha said.
"I don't have time for this Inuyasha! My men need me."
"Just stay still" Inuyasha insisted. He stared at Arthur's faceplate for a few more seconds. Then he scanned the skies.
"There!" he pointed. Arthur looked where he pointed and saw a bunch of clouds.
"Its just a few clouds." He said impatiently.
"Look at that one." Inuyasha pointed so he could see what he was seeing.
"Its just a rain cloud. What does that mean?"
"Since when do rain clouds float by themselves?"
"… By George! Why didn't I see it before!"
"I think I can attack him, but I need something to help me jump higher."
"I have the perfect thing for that." Arthur said, smirking.
"I don't like the way this is heading." Inuyasha said, unhappy.

"My name is Inu…" he started saying without his British accent, but looked at Kagome's eyes. He quickly looked back at the whole class. Kagome's heart fluttered at the sound of that magical name. He does look different, but that is definitely Inuyasha's voice.
"Inu Sakami." He said, his accent reinstated. Kagome's hopes started dwindling.
"Well Mr. Sakami, tell us a little about yourself." The teacher said.
"I was taken in by Fujin Sakami and raised in England. I have been in many martial arts championships, and have won entrance to one of Japan's most honored martial arts schools nearby." He said, and went to take a seat; he proped his cane next to his desk.
Kagome had all her morning classes with him, but he never spoke to her once. She tried to talk to him, but she never got the nerve to, and a lot of the girls were all over him, leaving little opportunity.
*Lunch!*
"Kagome… Earth to Kagome!" Hojo said.
"Huh? What?" she said, snapping out of her daydream.
"I just asked you if you're a guy and you just said yes, so something has to be up." He said. "You okay?"
"Yeah." She said. 'You know what you have to do' the voice said. But what if it really is him? "Dammit Inuyasha!" she suddenly exploded, standing up. Realizing what she just did, she sat back down looked embarrassed as she collected her things. "Actually, I'm not. I gotta go." She said briskly. She went to a garbage can to throw out her trash.
"Wasn't that the name of the transfer student?" one friend asked.
"No, that's the name of that boyfriend she's been telling us about."
"What's up with her?" one of her friends asked Hojo as he got up.
"I don't know, but I'm gonna find out" he said, and started shadowing her. Kagome went from table from table and started moving all over the place. Finally, she went outside the cafeteria. Damn. Its gonna be harder to follow her out there. Hojo thought to himself. He went outside and waited behind a bush.
*Kagome's POV*
He chose the last spot anyone would have chosen in this heat to eat; outside in the courtyard. But the fact that he was under a tree showed that he was sane.
It seemed almost picturesque. He had his back on a big pear tree, with the sun facing his back. On one hand, he held a book that he was probably reading, and in the other hand, he was petting his dog; his cane was propped up against the tree.
"You know, you can't have pets out here." Kagome said to him as she approached.

Is Kagome about to fall into Mortigern's trap?
Or is this kid really a foreign exchange student?
And what is Arthur planning to do with Inuyasha?
Find out next chapter. If I feel like it. Hahahaaa.
