Okay, it's a record! Two updates in two days! Never before done. . .anyhow, three reviews is a new record also for me, so I decided that it was a good idea to update before I lost anyone. And if I get lucky, you might have part three up today too. At the latest, tomorrow. . .but, R&R, and enjoy. And I actually have an idea now. . .be afraid!
Kagome looked at her with a smirk. No one could escape Inuyasha that easily. What she stupid? And she was obviously from her time, if she was muttering old movies under her breath. "It's okay, Inuyasha. I think she's harmless."
"Harmless? You little bitch!" A dagger was instantly whirling towards Kagome stopped only from a last minute hit from Inuyasha when it sped past his head. The girl glared at the demon, calculating his reflex. Way too quick to be human.
"So. . .you're from my time? The future?"
". . .If it's your time, it'd be the present. And if you mean from modern day Japan, then yes. Only I'm American. I just. . ."
"Hey!" Kagome glared at the girl. "That well is on my property only! You shouldn't be anywhere near it!"
"Well, it was the strangest thing. I was walking down the street, minding my own business, being sure to stay away from the mean old wells that were jumping up in my path and trying to force me to jump in them, when, suddenly, one appeared under my feet, and I just fell. . ." She shook her head, managing to look confused. "Oddest thing."
Kagome snorted. "Liar."
She mock-gasped. "Oh, I'm so offended." She snorted mockingly at Kagome. "You'll have to do better, whore."
"Whore?!"
"I'm not wearing a too-short shirt, now, am I?"
"It's-it's a school uniform!"
"Then why are you wearing it outside of school?"
"Because I can!"
She sighed. "Right." She looked back at Inuyasha, who had been listening to this exchange with interest. Kagome was usually hard to insult enough to get her to stammer. "So. . .if I promise to not throw anymore daggers, can I have the honor of being able to stand?"
Inuyasha snorted, but stood up, releasing her. She stood up, finally letting them examine her. She didn't seem to mind; she was much to involved searching for the dagger that had landed somewhere near the well when Inuyasha had made her miss Kagome.
She was wearing all black. That was what was really interesting. She had a black tank top with thick straps, and black shorts. She didn't have socks, but wore sneakers, which were tied loosely enough that she could slip them off, yet tightly enough for her be able to run with them and not have them fall off. Of course, if you looked hard enough, you could see that there was actually a brown belt strapped tightly to her waist, here at least fourteen daggers hung, easily accessible by her.
The most interesting thing about her was the fact that her hair went all the way down to her knees. It was braided, so it didn't get in the way, but it was definitely long. Inuyasha actually wondered why anyone would keep his or her hair so long before he remembered his wasn't exactly short either.
He snorted to himself, and looked at Kagome. Kagome was looked at him with. . .a random emotion in her eyes. She had been doing it all week, and thinking he didn't notice. What was he, a blind dog? He sighed, and looked back at the girl.
Kagome sighed to herself, and returned her gaze to the strange teen. ". . .So, what's your name?"
"Don't have one."
"What're you talking about, wench?"
"Don't call me that." The girl glared at him, and then returned her search. Inuyasha blinked in surprise. He hadn't meant to call her that, but it had slipped out. Not that he cared, but it didn't seem to be a good idea to make an enemy out of this girl. . .even if she was a human.
"Aha!" She stood back up, and swiped the dagger clean of dirt, before slipping in back into her belt. She looked back at the duo before her, the black-haired schoolgirl and the white-haired dog boy. "So, what are your names?"
"My name is Kagome. This is Inuyasha."
"Inu. . .yasha. . ." A smirk appeared on her face. Inuyasha felt himself get a bit pissed at the girl, but ignored it. "Inu. . .yasha?" She laughed a little. "You're yelling me that's your name? Inuyasha?" She started laughing. Hard.
Inuyasha growled at her. "Yes. Do you have a problem with that?"
"Yes!" She was practically is tears now, laughing so hard. "That means female-dog! Not even bitch, just dog in a feminine sense! With demon tacked at the end! Man, your parents must have hated you!"
Inuyasha glared at her, and without any other warning, jumped at her, prepared to claw her veins out with her mere claws and use then as bowstrings in Kagome's next bow. However, the girl was faster than he had given her credit for.
Right when his claws should have been ripping her frail body apart, and his momentum was too great to possibly be stopped, he saw she had ducked to the point he would miss her. She grabbed his wrists as he went sailing overhead, and kicked at him at the same time, causing him to continue his path, directly into a tree she had been standing in front of.
He hit the tree about two feet over her head, and groaned. To make it worse, Kagome's late reactions kicked in. . .late. "Sit!"
He slammed into the ground, taking the girl out with him. They both groaned that time. Kagome held a timid hand up to her mouth. "Oh. . .sorry. . ."
Inuyasha could feel the girl shaking with anger as he sat still, trying to recollect his scattered wits. One was bouncing away, over the forest, into the sky. . .he scowled. I have to stop hitting my head when I land like that. . .
He noticed his soft cushion was gone. He looked at Kagome, who was being quiet, and saw the girl sitting on her now, and slapping her face, just back and forth, back and forth. . .
It was humorous for a minute, but when her hand started getting red, Inuyasha walked over, and pulled Kagome out from under her. He examined her, and sighed. Quietly, he muttered, "Still alive. . .note to self; try harder next time. . ."
The girl laughed. She stood up, and looked at him. Inuyasha realized with a start she was a full head shorter than him. "Okay, enough screwing around. . ." she noticed at Inuyasha was smirking at her. "Yes, I am short! It's not my fault!" He didn't stop smirking, to her annoyance. "Huh. Well, if you're so smart, what's this?"
She held up a necklace. On the end of the necklace was the glittering part of the Shikon jewel. Inuyasha instantly growled at her. Damn these people and their obsession with that stupid jewel! It's mine! He grabbed at it, but she jerked it out of his reach. She smirked.
"So, the glowing thing is important?"
Inuyasha paused for a second, surprised. ". . .It's not glowing."
She frowned. "Well, Toto, maybe since you're a dog, you've gone colorblind."
Inuyasha angrily bared his fangs at her. She seemed surprised again, but otherwise completely failed to have a reaction. "I am not a dog!"
"You have claws, fangs, and kawaii ears. That spells out dog to me."
Inuyasha stopped again, and stared at her; unsure whether he should be annoyed over the fact she had called his ears cute. "You. . .you think they're cute?!"
She nodded. "Of course! They're all white and triangular, and they sit up so funnily. . ." She smiled, which did cause him to be annoyed. "Anyway, the busted glowing thingy is pretty. You oughta get someone better than an annoying girl to hold it." She tossed it at him, and he instinctively caught it.
". . .You really don't know what this is, do you?"
She shook her head. "Like I said. . .it glows, it's shiny, but since it's broken, the pawn shop probably won't give much for it. Got any whole jewels I can steal?"
Kagome sniffed, finally able to operate her face again, much to Inuyasha's dismay. He had been fine with her unable to comment. "Of course my Inuyasha's ears are cute! He's adorable!" Both the girl and Inuyasha stared at Kagome as if she had suddenly become Sesshoumaru wearing a pink tutu, and had begun to perform "Swan Lake."
A very disturbing thought.
Inuyasha's face seemed to have gone into a spasm, much like when Hiten had told him Kagome was his "precious woman." "Your. . .your. . .I am not yours!" The girl started cracking up, practically rolling on the ground with mirth. Inuyasha felt his face get red for some inexplicable reason. "Kagome! Where did you get that idea?!"
"Well, I have control of the rosemary. That makes you mine."
"It does not!"
"Does too!"
"Not!"
"Too!"
"Not!"
"Sit!"
Inuyasha fell down, causing the other girl to stop laughing. She glared at Kagome, who glared right back at her. Let her see my power. She crawling over to Inuyasha, and tried to pull him up, only to discover that made him wince worst.
She stood up, and scowled at Kagome. "Oh, I get it. You're a whore with supernatural powers."
"Stop calling me that!"
"No! What did he do to deserve you being in control of him?" Inuyasha had stood up by now, a deep flush from anger on his face.
Why does she do that? Especially whenever someone else is around?
"Every time you say 'sit,' he falls down, right?" There was a startled almost yelp from Inuyasha. They both turned around, and saw Inuyasha back on the ground, fighting the invisible weight on his back. She stared at him, and then looked away, staring at a piece of grass. "Whoops."
"How did you do that?"
She glanced at Kagome. "I didn't mean to! Honestly! I didn't want to hurt him, I was just pointing out a point. . ." She nodded her head a bit, frowning sadly. "Gomen, Shi. . ."
Kagome stared at her in surprise. "Shi? Death?"
She nodded. "Yeah. I don't believe in a merciful God, so instead I believe the Goddess of Death is looking out for me. Shi doesn't like it when people get hurt for no reason."
"If she's death, why wouldn't she? And why not the God of Death?"
"Death isn't two people, and Shi is not cruel. Hey!"
Inuyasha had come up behind her and snatched the jewel away from the girl. He didn't know who she was, but she was from the future, and the Shikon jewel glowed for her. That meant. . .
"Kagome. . .you can go home now."
"Huh?" She looked at Inuyasha with surprise. "What do you mean, Inuyasha?"
"You're always complaining about how you need to go home, you need to go to school, blah-blah-blah. Well, this girl can see the Shikon jewel too. You can stay home this time!" Even Inuyasha couldn't stop his voice from getting excited at this outburst.
"But. . .but. . .Inuyasha, you can't be serious! She can activate the rosemary, but. . .she's too. . .but she doesn't have miko powers. . .no!"
Inuyasha sighed, and walked over to Kagome. He picked her up, and carried her over to the well. He threw her in, and listened with satisfaction as he screamed all the way down, and then disappeared.
The girl blinked. "Oy, Inuyasha. . ."
He turned around, and saw her standing there, with a look of confusion on her face. "I get the fact you dropped the annoying girl down the well. I get that she went back into the present. The rest of what just happened. . .whoosh." She pulled a hand over her head, indicating it had gone right over her head.
Inuyasha tossed the jewel back at the girl. He had her scent; if her tried to run away, he'd catch her in a manner of moments. "Take that, and you're guarding it now."
". . .Explanation, please?"
He sighed. "Since you ask so nicely. . ."
She scowled at him. "Don't get used to it."
"Well, Kagome said this is known as the "Warring States" age of Japan. I have no idea what that means, but there are a lot of demons crawling around in this time. They all want that." He pointed at the jewel. "The Shikon no tama, or the bead of four souls. It boosts a demon's power greatly. . .and you're in charge of it now. We've been collecting it for a few months now."
"I see." She looked at it. "That's it?"
"Ah-ha. . ." She could practically see the little anime-styled sweat drop on his face. "Well, Kagome always went back in the well for school and that kind of stuff. . ."
She snorted. "Waste of time. Okay, if you told me that, I guess I owe a slight explanation about how I got her. . .I grew up in New York City in America on my own. I have over two hundred yards range with the daggers, and I'm accurate to the millionth of a millimeter. I can to Japan because I don't have a reputation there. I was sneaking around of her property and I saw the door open and thought I'd be safe spending the night there, because the tracks there didn't seem to recent. I planned on just jumping on the well for safety, but when I jumped in, I fell through into. . .here. But I do have a name. I just didn't want to have to tell it to that little. . .girl. My name is Angela." She shrugged.
Inuyasha stared at her. "A. . .America?"
She winced. "That's right, America doesn't exist yet! Uh, since I came from the future, you won't know where that is. . .never mind. . ."
New York City?
"Right. . .okay, well, let's go tell Miroku about this. . .he'll want to know."
She looked at him with some more confusion. "Who's Miroku?"
"Miroku is. . ." He shrugged. "You're best off just meeting the leech."
"Leech?" Inuyasha stared walking, and she followed him. "What do you mean, he's a leech?"
He sighed to himself. If she doesn't shut up, so help me, I'll. . .do something to her!
She finally did shut up, and walked about ten feet behind him, glaring daggers into the back of his head. He didn't trust her back there, but as long as there weren't any quick movements, he was fine with her being there. At least she wasn't badgering him for a ride like Kagome. . .
