Points of View

Chapter 5

A Hanyou's Life

"Come on Inu Yasha! Please?"

Elly giggles at the pleading look on Kagome's face.

"I said no! We aren't taking them with us! It's too dangerous!"

"What's too dangerous?"

"Don't worry about it, Melissa. Especially since I already told Kagome no earlier!"

"Inu Yasha! I say they're going and that's final! Don't make me say it!" Kagome stands nose to nose with him, glaringly determined to get her way.

Inu Yasha sweats as he looks away from her, his arms crossed over his chest. "Feh."

Kagome claps her hands together happily, knowing she had won the argument, albeit a bit unfairly. "Great! We leave in the morning!"

"Kagome, wherever it is we're going, Seras has to come. She's the only way I'll be able to keep from slowing you guys down."

"Of course! Not a problem!"

"So Kags. You gonna tell us where we're going or not?" Elly warily watches her, wondering what she had in mind.

"Yep! Five hundred years into the past!"

Elly and Melissa both have a large sweat drop on the side of their heads, the looks on their faces showing that they were both wondering if she was nuts. Elly starts laughing. "I get it! You're planning on taking us to some park where everyone looks, sounds, and acts like they're from a certain time period. Right?"

Kagome frowns, she should have expected this. Oh well, drastic times called for drastic measures. "Here, I'll prove it!" She grabs Inu Yasha's hand and drags him over to kneel in front of Melissa.

"Hey! Let go of me! Kagome! Are you listening!"

Ignoring his protests, she whips off his baseball cap before grabbing one of Melissa's hands and placing it near one of his ears. Inu Yasha growls softly, but remains still since he knew she'd probably 'sit' him later if he didn't.

"Ok, now I've seen everything! Are those like, dog ears or something? Those aren't real, are they?" Elly gives a tug on his free ear, earning a growl with a glare as he flicks his ear away.

"That hurt you know..." he grumbles, just glad that Melissa was rubbing his ear instead of pulling on it. He twitches it when she hits a ticklish spot, causing her to momentarily pull her hand back in surprise.

"So... what are you exactly, Inu Yasha?"

His golden orbs flick up to look at Melissa, mumbling something about demons.

She wrinkles her brow slightly in confusion for a moment before speaking again, wondering if she heard right. "A demon? You're kidding, right? I mean, I would think that a full demon wouldn't necessarily hang around humans the way you seem to. Would they?" She frowns slightly, moving her hand from his ear to stroke Seras on her head when she shoves it into Melissa's lap.

"You're right, although there are some exceptions. I'm only half, a Hanyou."

Kagome stares at him a moment before smiling and giving his ears an affectionate scratch since she knew how much he enjoyed it, although he'd never admit as much out loud. "His mother was human, his father is where he gets his demon blood from."

Melissa smiles slightly. "Any relatives?"

Kagome looks at Inu Yasha uncertainly for a moment before answering since he wasn't bothering to meet her gaze. "Well... he does have an older half brother. He's full demon and is a pain at times since he's a bit intent on killing Inu Yasha."

Melissa quirks a brow, her hand idly stroking the fur on the neck of her pet. "He can't be all that bad, can he?"

Kagome blinks, exchanging a look with Inu Yasha, confusing Elly in the process before Kagome decides to answer, picking and choosing her words carefully. "Well, I suppose not. He does have a little human girl named Rin that travels with him faithfully. He gave her back her life not too long after they had first met."

"So what's his name?" Melissa looks in their general direction steadily with her dull pale blue eyes. Since they were now talking in Kagome's room, she hadn't seen much sense in keeping her sunglasses on. They were now safely tucked away in a pocket in her blue jeans. Her dark blonde waist length hair was tied up in a high ponytail to keep it away from her face and off her nerves. She smoothes out her black Good Charlotte baby tee as the silence stretches on for another nervous second before Kagome finds her voice again, she was almost afraid she had said something wrong.

"It's Sesshoumaru. His name is Sesshoumaru."

Melissa tries the name carefully. "Sesshoumaru... it almost sounds like the name of a nobleman or something."

"Well... he is a full blooded Inu-Youkai and lord over the western lands..."

"Whoa! So wouldn't that make Mutt-face a prince then? Not to mention, are you trying to say that there's things like possessed trees, fox spirits and ghost and such? And that they're all real?"

Kagome stares at Elly for a moment, trying to process what she just said. These two just kept surprising her one turn after another. They weren't freaking out over what they were being told or anything! With the exception of a few questions here and there, they almost seemed to be taking everything in stride. "Well, yeah. Shippo, whom you'll meet tomorrow, is a fox spirit or Kitsune. And then there's Koga..." Kagome grimaces slightly at that thought.

Elly, noticing the look on her face, acts as though she's pushing her sleeves up although she's wearing a blue tank top that hugs her body and shows off her flat stomach, chest, and slightly muscular arms. She was also wearing a pair of running shoes with bobby socks, some daisy duke blue jean shorts with ragged bottom edges and a grin that nearly sent chills down Kagome's spine as well as Inu Yasha's. With her dark blonde hair cut like a boy's but with streaks of red, orange, brown and a lighter shade of blonde, there was no doubt that Elly was a Tomboy through and through. "Just point the way, Kags! I'll teach him a thing or two!"

A large sweat drop forms on the side of Kagome's head. "Uh, maybe sometime tomorrow..."

Pouting, Elly drops back down to sit on the floor, her arms and legs crossed. "Phooey..."

Clearing her throat slightly, Melissa decides to change the subject slightly. "This... Shippo. Will we meet him tomorrow?"

"Huh? Oh! Knowing him, he'll probably be the first! He's a Kitsune, like I said, but he's still just a cub so he's not very big. Probably about the size of Seras' head. Let's see... there's also Sango who's a Demon Hunter, Miroku the lecher, er, monk I mean. Kirara the fire cat demon and Sango's companion, Kaede the village priestess, and Myoga the flea!"

"Sounds like a bowl of mixed nuts to me..."

"Elly! Stop being so rude!"

Elly merely shrugs, but the gesture wasn't lost on Melissa despite her loss of sight. She sends a glare in her direction, causing Elly to shift uncomfortably.

"Look, I don't know about you three, but it's been a long day on top of having Jet lag. I'm tired. If we're going to get up in the morning and go to wherever it is exactly that we're going, we should all go and get some sleep."
