Authors Note: Sorry about the short prologue. This chapters just going to
tell you about my character. Oh, and by the way I do not own Inu Yasha, god
willing someday I will but until then I do own Zero. Also from here on the
story will be told in third person.
Chapter 1- Saying Goodbye
"Today's the day, the last day," Zero said to him self while he was still laying in bed. Today was his last day in America before he left to go to Japan. *I don't get why I'm so nerves, I never get nerves,* he thought, with curiosity on his face. It was true that he never got nerves, but he was quick to shake it off.
He went to get in the shower, and to just relax and think about the day ahead. When he got out of the shower he got dressed. He decided to wear his blue jeans and a black shirt.
After getting dressed he went to the kitchen to eat some breakfast, and was greeted by his parents. "Morning honey, are you excited?" his mother asked cheerfully. He smiled, "Morning Mom, yea I guess I am," he said with a monotone voice, he didn't want her to see that he was the least bit nerves because he knew how sad she was about his leaving for a whole year and a half.
"Morning kiddo," his father said with a smile. "Morning Dad," *Dad is so much easier to deal with he, doesn't get as emotional as Mom,* he thought as he quickly ate breakfast. He finished breakfast and decided to take the bus instead of having his parents take him in fear of them making a scene.
As he walked to the bus stop he stopped and thought, *I wonder who'll I'll be fighting today.* He couldn't help but laugh at what an odd thought it was, but it was true he did get into a lot of fights, at least one a day. Everyone at his school knew not to mess with him, still there were those few that just liked to push others around, and he took it upon himself to stop them. Which the girls didn't mind they liked to watch him fight, or do anything for that matter the fighting just gave them a reason to. As he reached the bus stop he saw two of his best friends Chris and Brain and everyone else was there. "Hey guys," he said. "Hey Zero," they all said with a smile.
They talked for a while, "So today's the last day, huh?" asked Chris knowing it was, "Yea, this is the first time I want a school day to go by slow," he said and a few of them laughed. Then Brian asked the question that was on a lot of minds at the time, "So how many fights are you going to get into today?" Zero smiled, "I really don't know, but I do have a feeling to its going to be a day to remember." he said with a cruel looking smirk. But they had no idea that his first fight was rounding the corner.
It was about ten minutes before the bus was going to arrive. When all of the sudden Zero was pushed from behind. He was pushed by one of those people who liked to pick on others his name was Adrian needless to say Zero did not like him.
"So you think that you can just run away and hide out for a year in Japan just because you don't want to get beat?" Adrian spat at Zero. Everyone took this as the cue to form a circle around the two and prepared for the fight they knew was coming. "Come say something you woos," Adrian shot, becoming angered by the lack of action. Zero just grinned evilly, *What the hell its my last day..so I'm gonna have some fun.* he thought. As Adrian still got no response he let his defense slip, it was all Zero needed. He noticed the slip instantly. *Its over,* he thought with a smirk. With a blur of motion Zero spun dropped his book bag and landed a solid connection with his opponents stomach. The other boy buckled over in pain but Zero wasn't through yet. He brought his knee up hard and connected with his nose, and Adrian came up with it. His nose now pouring blood and still clutching his stomach Zero decided to be merciful and end it, and so he did with a swift kick to the chest the boy fell to the ground. *This is definitely going to be one to remember,* he thought with a smile. When the bus arrived no one thought about helping Adrian, because no one really liked him so they left him.
When they arrived at school everyone from the bus was congratulating Zero on the fight and saying goodbye to him. As he walked through the doors he was greeted by three more of the people he didn't like. Not that he was worried, on the contrary he was glad to see that his fights weren't over yet.
"Well, well, well if it isn't the little boy who's running away to hide from the people who are going to kick his ass," the one in the middle smirked. They were smiling while waiting for a response. Zero smiled and gave a response but it wasn't one any of them were expecting, "No, no word games if you want to fight then by all means lets play," their smiles faded and his grew. There were teachers all around but none of them could react fast enough, but they saw what happened they struck first. Zero, again dropped his bag and rushed at the one in the lead kneed him in the stomach he curled up on Zeros knee and he came down with an elbow to the back of his neck. The second fell just as fast with a straight upper cut to the chin. The third also fell with a sidekick to the head. *I wanted to have fun but there's no challenge,* he thought with an entertained smile. As the teachers finally made their way over to the fight, "Alright Zero they've had enough," one of the teachers said, "Yea why don't you go up to class we'll take it from here," said another. Zero didn't have to worry about getting in trouble he was pretty close with the teachers, and everyone knew it was his last day.
Zero hadn't yet noticed all of the adoring eyes of all of the girls around him, or the equally apposing stares of those of the guys because of the adoring ones. *I better take the back way to class the girls have that look again,* he thought with a laugh and backed up slowly grabbed his bag and took off up the back stairwell.
By the time Zero got to first period rumors had already spread through the school. *Man I'll never get how news travels so fast at this school,* he thought with a sigh. His friend would what to know what really happened, but he wanted to know what some of the rumors were first. They were interesting to say the least. One said that he had got into a fight with a football coach and the two other coaches jumped in to help the other one, and another said that three senior power lifters were picking on a freshman girl and that Zero stood up for her. *Well at least they got the number right this time,* he thought with an inward smirk.
By the end of first period the class gave him a farewell card and threw a small party for him. "Thanks you guys," he said with a smile. Just before the bell rang a girl came up, she was about 5'7", brown hair and eyes, very slender, and one of Zeros favorite subjects, and kissed him with a passion. "Wow.. w-what was that for?" he asked a bit dazed and confused. She answered him in a rather seductive tone, "Oh, that was just so you don't forget me," as she walked away with a sinister smile.
Second period went pretty much the same way. Except that this time it was two girls. It was actually comical for him to watch because they fought over who got to kiss him first for about an hour.
Third period was the same too. *I really didn't think that my leaving was this big of a deal,* he thought with surprise at the trouble his friends had gone through. But it was only going to get stranger. When the bell for lunch rang it got stranger. When he walked into the cafeteria he was surprised to see one long table in the middle of the large room with all of the chairs around it and all of his friends waiting for him to arrive. They all smiled at him and waved for him to take the seat in the middle. He did and one by one every one came up to him to say goodbye, and yet again some of the girls said their goodbyes with their lip and not words.
This went on until more of 'them' came up in the line. "So you think that by running to Japan you can avoid the ass kicking's we owe you?" asked the one in the middle, there were six of them with the other five centered around the one who spoke. Zero just looked on with a raised eyebrow. The six were then joined by three more. *Great nine to one, to bad there's still no challenge in it,* he thought with a look of anticipation. He then stood up preparing for the fight when something none of them expected happened. As Zero stood everyone, teachers included, stood up with him.
"Come on Zero, let us help," said one voice, "Yea we can take'em," came another voice. At this Zero nearly fell over with the shock, he didn't want their help nor did he need it. *Oh, I get it their just trying to pay me back for all that I've done for them,* it occurred to him. But this didn't make any since to him. *Its not like I liked to help them I just don't like the thought of an unfair fight,* he thought. It was true he didn't like helping them he just did because it was the right thing to do.
"Shut up and sit down, Zero doesn't need our help to take these guys down nor does he want it so just sit back and enjoy the show," Zero looked to his right to the person who had said that, it was on of his best friends, Chris, he looked at his friend with a mixture of why-didn't-you-stand-up- sooner and thanks. His friend just looked back with a your welcome look. Chris smiled and pointed, "Your fight has started," "HUH!?! Woo," Zero turned just in time to catch his first attackers fist in mid punch. Zero was quite angry, at himself for not paying attention, but also at his attacker for striking without warning they should at least play fair. "Thought you could start without me, huh?" Zero asked with a heated tone. He then dropped his first attacker with a single blow to the stomach. "That's one down," he said with a smirk. *Now for the rest of you,* he thought with a narrowed glare. Just then he was tackled from three directions, both sides and behind, but he didn't fall. The two from the sides were holding his arm down, but they weren't that strong its just that it was frustrating that they just had to try, he would much rather them just give up. Then came the breaking point, a sucker punch.
That's when he snapped, " Ok, fine, if you guys don't want to play fair then neither will I!!" Zero spat at them, and that's when they all realized that he was just playing with them, he was just playing in all of his fights. With that realization the ones holding him loosened their grip and he snapped into action and broke free of the ones holding his sides and elbowed the both in the face and they dropped. The third was fun to get rid of, "Well I guess I'll teach him to fly," he thought with a smile. He did a quick handstand and kicked the one around his waist into his friends. "Well is their any need for the rest of you to taste the ground?" he said with angry in his voice. Two of them backed down but their leader didn't. "You think that you can just run away from us?" he said wit the sound of rage. "Ok I give up why does everyone think I'm running away, I'll be back in a year in a half. And besides there's no point in running from people like you," he said with an amused voice. This needless to say made his last attacker more than mad. *Good he's letting the angry take over this will be easier than I thought,* he thought and smiled. His last attacker charged and with the simplest motion Zero flipped him and as he tried to get up Zero kneed him in the face and he fell. And then all of his friends cheered.
When the bell rang for lunch to end Zero noticed that a bunch of the girls were...well sad. "Hey what's wrong?" he asked a rather cute one. "Were just sad that your leaving, that's all," she said with a sweet smile. "But I'm coming back you all know that," he said in a matter of fact kinda way. "Well..yea we know but its still sad," she said and gave him a hug.
After lunch the rest of the day went by calmly. People still came up to say goodbye and the rest of his classes threw him a party.
The bus ride home was uneventful, aside from the all of the noise. He soon realized that this was his first chance to reflect on the days' event. *What a day,* he thought with a sigh, *I still can't believe that they threw all of those parties for me. And then there was the three fights with thirteen different people.Oh, yeah and those seven make sessions,* he couldn't help but smile at that thought.
Lather that night his aunt and her husband came over, and his mom cooked a going away feast. They sat and talked for hours into the night. "So a year and a half away from home, what are you going to do?" asked Don, his aunts husband. Zero just smiled, "What else, pickup chicks." Zero said and they all laughed. "Well as long as you don't break too many hearts," his aunt said with a smile.
After dinned they said their goodbyes, and Zero being tired from the day, went to bed. *Tomorrow I'll be on a plane to my knew home,* he thought with a relaxing breath. And he fell asleep with that.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Half way around the world a girl was laying in bed thinking about something with a worried look on her face. The young girl was Kagome Higarshi she had dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a slender body and she was very good looking.
*I wonder what he's going to be like, but how am I going to explain everything that goes on here,* she thought, *Man I just know he;s going to be hott, but he's going to think I'm a total freak when I tell him that I travel back in time to fight demons,* she thought and groaned in annoyance.
"Kagome dear, time to get up," her mother called to her. "Alright I'll be down in a minute," she called back. With that she got in the shower and got ready for the day. "Now Kagome, don't forget to get Scott's schedule for him. He'll be here around seven," her mom explained. "Ok mom don't worry I'll be sure to get it for him," Kagome said with a nod.
After school she was talking to her teacher getting the schedule for Scott. "Now, Kagome I know that you have been having health problems this year," the teacher began, *I'm so gonna kill grandpa for this,* Kagome thought to her self. "But by having this exchange student stay with you is the only way you'll be able to pass this term." The teacher said sternly. "Yes sir," Kagome said. "Oh where is his schedule?" she asked politely. "Oh yes here you go," said the teacher. "Thank you sir," she said with a smile and left.
She slowly made her way home think about the exchange student, Scott. "Man with a name like that he's sure to be hott," she said aloud with a groan. She looked at the schedule, *Good he's got the same classes as me, it'll be easier to show him around that way,* she thought.
She had finally made her way home. And walked up to an old, dried up well that was behind the shrine where she lived. *Ok now all I have to do is tell Inu Yasha that I won't be around for two or three days,* she thought ,"This should be fun," she said with a nerves laugh, and jumped into the well.
