The Angel of my Nightmare
A fanfic by Inuyasha's Fang
A/N: Sorry about the time between updates (I lost the 11 page manuscript and had to write this chapter over again, ugh), so as a treat, this is my longest chapter ever! YAY! I haven't updated in god knows how long. I've started a new story since the last update, please check it out! It's 'The Boy That Time Forgot'. It's a twist on the 'Inuyasha wakes up in Kagome's time' plot! Chapter 2 is written up; it just needs to be typed! I guess that's my next assignment. OH!!!! MY BIRTHDAY WAS OCTOBER 5!!! I'M 14 NOW!!!!! FEAR MY TEENAGE POWER!!!!! I wanted to update then, but, unfortunately, I was grounded from everything, TV, CPU, manga (that one hurt), even my friends.
Chapter 6- Demon Scum
Kagome and Inuyasha stayed like that for a long time, just resting and enjoying each other's company. The calm before the storm.
When the lunch bell rang, Kagome was the one who broke the comfortable silence.
"We should go back inside," she said as she lifted herself with a sigh.
"Do we have to?" Inuyasha asked, sounding very much like a third-grader, but with good reason.
"Yes, you'll never conquer your demons if you keep running from them."
Inuyasha sighed, and put on a fake smile. "Let's do lunch!" You could easily see through his artificial cheer as he tossed his hat over the roof.
-In the Cafeteria-
They were standing outside the doors, and the roar of conversation could be heard from within.
"Are you ready?" Kagome asked. She saw him stiffen in response.
"No." He said as he pushed open the doors and entered the cafeteria.
The silence was deafening, and he could feel all eyes on him as he walked over to order lunch from one of the lunch ladies.
"Can I have the lunch special?" he asked. He sighed when she shook her head 'no'.
"Please?" again he watched her shake her head. "Aw come on! I'm starving!" he pleaded, but to no avail. He just sighed and reached over to grab a platter, and he saw her flinch when his hands came close. He walked in silence, and he knew all eyes were still on him.
When he reached the cashier, he said "That's 300 yen, right?" the lady nodded, and he paid. He saw an empty table and sat down. He never looked up from his food until he heard all the kids in the cafeteria gasp. He glanced upward and saw someone who he didn't know sit across from him. She extended a hand toward Inuyasha, he reached out and shook it.
"Hi," she said, "my name's Tsuyu."
"Inuyasha," was his clipped response.
"So… is it true? Are you really a hanyou?"
Inuyasha sighed, you could practically feel every person in the cafeteria strain to hear his answer, and they waited with bated breath.
"Yes."
The roar of the whispers caused him to flatten his sensitive ears,
"Can I touch them?" Tsuyu asked, pointing at Inuyasha's ears.
'Oh god, here is comes!' thought Kagome.
Inuyasha sighed. "Why the fk not?"
Tsuyu reached over and touched the fuzzy triangles on top of his head, breathed a quiet 'thank you', and trotted back to her table.
The cafeteria was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think.
"Hey! Demon scum! Outside!" Inuyasha looked up and saw a group of boys standing above him.
"I don't beat up people weaker than me." He replied quietly.
"WEAKER?!"
Inuyasha stood up. "Yes, weaker."
"Why you!" One of the boys lunged forward and slugged Inuyasha right in the stomach. He looked up into Inuyasha's face and was shocked. Not only did he not react to being hit, he was… smiling?
"Hmph. Is that all you've got?" And with that, he picked up all six boys and walked outside.
'Oh no!' was all Kagome could think as she followed the crowd outside.
-Outside the school, Courtyard-
When Kagome finally made it outside, she almost laughed.
Inuyasha has ripped up a street lamp and had bent it around the group of boys, sealing them to a flagpole. But what made the scene truly hilarious was Inuyasha himself. He was standing there, shaking his finger at them like a mother admonishing you for bad behavior.
"… and I don't want to see you picking on people who are better than you, by that I mean everyone, ever again! Do you understand me?" he watched in satisfaction as the boys rapidly nodded their heads. "Good." He said as he reached down and un-bended the lamp post, he held it with one hand as he stuck it back where it belonged. He looked back at the flagpole and he noticed that the boys were still there. He calmly walked over, than he leaned down so that he was at their level and said, "Scram." They jumped up and ran away like the sissies they are. Inuyasha stood up and looked at the people surrounding him; it was a silent challenge, 'Whose next?'
He didn't expect what came next.
Cheers.
"Way to go Inuyasha!" He looked around and found Kagome, clapping twice as hard as the rest.
The rest of the day went along those lines. People would challenge Inuyasha, get stuck somewhere, (the roof, a tree, the ceiling, and a few got swirlys), get yelled at, and Inuyasha would get applauded.
-Gym Class-
"I knew it was too good to be true." Ms. Brown sighed.
"Pardon me?" Inuyasha asked.
"I thought I had a high school star on my hands. You can't even join any teams!" she wailed.
Inuyasha looked ashamed and studied his shoes, but when he looked up he had a triumphant grin on his face.
"I don't recall them saying that teammates had to be the same species."
Ms. Brown looked up, grin matching his. "I love you!" she screamed and started jumping up and down like a little kid. She hopped over to Inuyasha and gave him a hug. When she didn't let go, he looked down at her.
"Could you let me go now? Please?"
Ms. Brown looked up. "Oh, sorry. Well then, show me what you've got."
Much to the class's amusement, Inuyasha immediately asked to go to his locker.
"Why?" Ms. Brown asked.
He smirked.
"Fine! Just hurry!"
When he left the gym, Kagome ran over to Sango and Miroku. "What do you think he's doing?" Kagome queried.
"I don't know," Sango replied.
"I just hope he's not getting Tet…" Miroku trailed off and smacked himself in the head.
Kagome looked at the entrance to the gym to see a madly grinning Inuyasha, holding a sheathed Tetsusaiga out in front of him with one hand.
"I'd like to join the kendo team." He said.
"Do you think you can make it? We have the best… team…" Ms. Brown trailed off when Inuyasha unsheathed Tetsusaiga, and held the fully transformed blade over his head.
"I think so." He replied.
"W-well, do you know how to use it?" Ms. Brown asked.
"Follow me." And with that, he walked out of the gym yet again.
The class followed him outside of the school, and over to the demolition site next to it. Inuyasha had sheathed tetsusaiga somewhere along the way, and he was holding it at his side.
When he walked over to the anti-construction workers, they looked him up and down and sneered, "What do you want?"
Inuyasha held out the sheathed sword, "Need some help?"
The workers glared at him, "Like you could help us… you FREAK!"
Inuyasha's eye twitched in annoyance, but he calmly unsheathed tetsusaiga. "I'm sure I could help you," he said as he held out the un-transformed sword.
"Pff! What are you going to do with that rusty stick?!" one of them jeered.
Inuyasha just smiled as he transformed tetsusaiga. He looked back at Kagome and asked, "So how should I do it?"
"What?" she asked, bewildered.
"How should I demolish those buildings?" He indicated the three buildings behind him as he spoke. (A/N Three buildings, three techniques… convenient, ne?)
Kagome smiled, "One of each!"
"What are you two talking about?" asked Ms. Brown.
"Good things come to those who wait," Inuyasha said, and with that, he turned to the demolition crew. "Get behind me!" he ordered.
"Who the hell do you think you are kid?"
Inuyasha smiled, an expression we rarely see, but this smile held more than happiness. "You don't want to know." Inuyasha's eyes blinked red. (A/N Not demon, just tryin' to scare 'em)
The construction workers gulped, and crowded behind the demon boy.
Inuyasha turned to the first building, and leaped into the air, holding his father's fang above him.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" Inuyasha brought the sword down in a powerful swing, too fast for the eye to see.
Inuyasha landed lightly on the ground, and turned to face the group, the building he attacked stood behind him.
Ms. Brown looked at the building, "That was a nice swing, but what were you trying to do?"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and smiled. She smiled back.
The top half of the building slid to the side, and collapsed in a large cloud of dust.
Ms. Brown gaped.
The class gaped.
The construction crew gaped.
Kagome clapped.
Sango slapped Miroku, who had taken advantage of her un-guarded rear… again.
"OK people, stand back, this one's gonna' be messy!!" Inuyasha cried out, his voice joyful. 'I've wanted to destroy something since I got here! If I didn't get a good dose of violence soon, I was gonna' kill Souta! … I might do that anyway, idol worship is a pain in the ass!'
Inuyasha closed his eyes, and smoke-like tendrils formed around his gleaming blade. His eyes snapped open, holding a triumphant gleam.
"KAZE NO KIZU!!!!!!!!" (A/N Wound of the wind)
The five yellow claw-like blasts of the wind scar shot out toward the unfortunate piece of construction.
Boom.
The building exploded, messily might I add.
Inuyasha didn't wait for anyone's reaction before he turned to the last remaining building. He closed his eyes, and the class couldn't help but gasp as his sword crystallized.
"KONGOSHOUHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (A/N Diamond Spear Blast) Inuyasha swung the diamond-like blade down, and large shards flew off the sword and towards the building. When they connected…
BOOM.
Big boom.
The class spent the next five minutes wiping building debris off of themselves.
"YOU'RE HIRED!!!!"
The class paused in debrie-wiping, Inuyasha paused in super-smirking, and Miroku paused in his ass-groping. Slap.
"Huh?" Inuyasha was confused.
"When can you start?" asked a clipboard-wielding construction worker.
"Start?"
"Working for us! It wouda' taken us at least a week to do what you just did in less than five minutes!!"
Inuyasha laughed. "Sorry guys! I'm still in high school!!"
The clipboard dude pouted. "Please?"
Inuyasha got a big scary head (see book 18) and held up a clawed hand, "I said I'm still in school!!" he ground out.
Clipboard guy stepped back, "Of course! Can't ask you to drop out, now can we? Heheh!?"
Inuyasha smiled, "Right."
- - u.u T.T -.-' ..
Miroku leaned over and whispered in Sango's ear, "Showing off for Kagome?"
Sango looked at the lecherous monk, "Oh yeah."
Miroku got kind of shifty, "Um… our school is having a… a dance next week, and I was wondering… if you'd go with me?"
Sango looked at him, "You really want to go with me?"
He looked right back at her, "Sango, I may flirt with other women, but my heart belongs to only you. Once I have my sight's set on a woman like you, I'll never let go."
Sango blushed a light pink, "Miroku…" Her pale blush quickly turned red with anger.
SLLLAAAAP!!!!!
"Fine, I'll go with you, but keep your fking hand to yourself!!!"
"It's possessed I tell you!!!"
