Lyn: This is the last story that I didn't update. I'm so sorry for the wait and everything but I've just been really busy…and the "author's break" that I took didn't help much. I got more and more stress. And now, on top of everything, I have to do a science project and that shit. I have to present it to my class and I'm not very good with speaking in front of my class...oh wells. Here's the chapter you were all waiting for. Oh, and at the bottom, there's going to be a summary and a preview of a fic I'm thinking of writing. I'm not so sure so tell me what you think! =P
Title: School...who needs it?
Disclaimer: I don't have fun saying I hate these but I'll say it. I don't own InuYasha. Wee...
Rating: PG-13
Author: Yours truly, Lyn!
Summary: Kagome Higurashi is a transfer student from Beauxbatons to Hogwarts. She has a hard time trying to fit in when she is suddenly placed into Slytherin. What happens when the Shikon no Tama shows up, and demons along with it?
Chapter 16
Not another new moon!
Kagome sat up straight. She could copy someone else's notes but that wouldn't be fair to everyone else…Getting out her notebook, she started taking notes on how to change anything to a piece of food.
Kagome watched with interest, didn't anyone have to cook? Where'd the food come from? Professor Mcgonagall stopped and said, "Oh, my. Look at the time. I've kept you all late! Now, now, don't fuss." Everyone started to complain.
"You can all leave but practice this! We're going to see how much you've practiced tomorrow with a test!" she said with a cheerful grin on her face, but then it changed to an extremely serious look.
"Kagome, please stay behind," she said, trying not to sound strained.
Confused, Kagome packed her things and thought about leaving…but then there was no one else named Kagome here so there was no way she could have confused her with someone else. She would have to stay.
As soon as everyone left, Kagome walked up to her desk and looked at Professor Mcgonagall with nervous eyes, afraid she did something wrong.
"Now, Dumbledore is away right now on some…business so he wanted me to tell you personally. You got the message that your family had been…killed…?" she asked, talking quickly so Kagome couldn't tell what emotions she was feeling right now.
Kagome nodded, confused. Professor Mcgonagall wiped away a tear that had appeared and put her hands on the table, with her fingers crossed. She looked around to make sure nobody was there.
"Now, I don't want to alarm you or anything but its rumored that you-know-who has killed your family."
Kagome was confused yet again.
"You mean Voldemort?" Kagome asked, seeing McGonagall flinch at the name. Kagome covered her mouth and muttered a sorry.
"But why? Why would you-know-who kill my family? They have no magical powers or anything!" Kagome protested.
Professor Mcgonagall sighed and nodded lowly. "He kills muggles as well. No doubt somebody spilled the news about all your little mishaps and word got out to the parents. You know how mothers are… gossip gossip gossip."
Kagome half laughed and that made the mood in the room a little bit more happy. A little.
"Now, I won't grade you as hard tomorrow because as the headmaster told you, you have a different kind of magic. You can't work with your wand as well as others but you're still as powerful. Remember that. Just do your best."
"...Do all the other teachers know?"
"They do now."
"So...if I screw up and something goes wrong, I won't get yelled at?"
"...I can't promise you that."
They both laughed.
"I mean it! If something goes wrong, it might not mean your wand isn't working well, it just might mean you messed up on whatever you were doing!"
They giggled together again.
"Um, Professor?" she asked, not wanting to sound stupid. "I have a question."
She smiled.
"Of course. What is it?"
"Um, you know how when we go home for the summer…? We have to actually go home? And I don't exactly have a family or a home to go to anymore."
She looked at Kagome. Kagome blinked.
"Don't you have any other family at all?" She asked, obviously worried.
Kagome shook her head.
"My mom was an only child and so was my father. My grandfather had two brothers and sisters that were older than him but they passed away a few years ago."
"I'll look into it. Meanwhile, study hard and make your family proud!" It was weird to see Professor Mcgonagall smile and giggle like that with her, she was usually more of a serious person.
Kagome smiled her usual smile and left. It broke her heart to see a kid as bright and nice as this to be without a family but that was it.
(Just to let you know, the second sentence is Professor lady.=) lol )
Kagome didn't know but she had spent the whole class time talking to Professor Mcgonagall. By the time she was going to her next class, 2nd period was over. It was time for defense against the dark arts.
That was with Gryffindors. No Kouga. Okay. But InuYasha, Miroku, Sango, Hermione, Harry, Ron… damn. Bad luck.
She walked into the classroom where happy people all turned into sad pitying peoples. Again. Did the whole fucking school know about this?! She walked in pretending not to notice anyone staring at her as she walked. She glared at anyone who tried to talk to her in a sad voice.
Sitting down, she looked around. No teacher in sight. What kind of class was this? No teacher…
Sango sat down next to Kagome and Inu-Yasha took her other side, leaving Miroku left out. Pouting, Miroku sat with The Harry Potter gang.
"Why didn't you show up for class?" Sango asked worriedly.
Kagome just shrugged. InuYasha growled.
"You bitch! Did you think we wouldn't worry about you?!"
Kagome turned to look at him.
"Aww. Did poor lil Inu worry about his little Kagome-chan?" Miroku and Sango teased. InuYasha and Kagome blushed.
"Don't call me Inu!"
InuYasha gave Miroku a death glare and he shut up. When he did that to Sango, she glared back. She wasn't afraid of him!
"What does Inu mean anyways? Is that bad? And Kagome's last name isn't Chan…" Ron pointed out. Kagome smiled at Ron. Ron blushed.
"Inu means dog. Right, Inu?" Kagome asked teasingly.
InuYasha steamed.
"So InuYasha's name means dog?" Harry asked, laughing at him.
InuYasha grabbed Harry's shirt by the collar and growled, "Say that again. Go ahead. I dare you."
Kagome dragged InuYasha by his ears and plopped him back on his seat. (anime style)
"Inu might mean dog but InuYasha means dog demon. Aren't you a little dog demon? Yes, you are," Kagome said to InuYasha in a stupid little baby voice, patting his head.
"So what about the "chan" thing?" Harry asked, glancing at InuYasha to make sure he didn't come back to cream him again.
Sango piped up, "Oi. Oi! Kagome-chan! Daijoubu desu ka?"
(Hey. Hey! Kagome! Are you okay?)
Kagome smiled and nodded. "Hai. Daijoubu. Arigatou gozaimasu Sango-chan."
(Yes. I'm fine. Thanks Sango.)
Sango looked unsure.
"Hontou desu ka…?
(Really...?)
"Un."
(Uh huh)
They smiled at each other and giggled. The non-Japanese people were very confused.
"What the hell are you people talking about?!" Ron suddenly burst out. Ron blinked as the loud chatter stopped and everyone stared at him.
"Pipe down, Weasley. We all know you can't afford a dictionary," Malfoy sneered. Embarrassed, he sat down. Hermione seemed fascinated.
"If any of you have the time, do you think maybe you can teach me Japanese? I've always wanted to learn a new language!"
Kagome smiled and started explaining some more.
"Chan is just a playful thing you add to a friend's name! Like.....Hermione-chan! But...for guys, it wouldn't exactly work. Normally you say it to someone younger and it's like a childish nick name."
InuYasha just sat down pretending not to listen. He didn't want Hermione to learn Japanese. He didn't want anyone who wasn't Japanese to even learn. That's what had made him and the few people in this school special!
If others started learning, what would he be? Just another person. His eyes wandered to the calendar. New moon. Already? What the hell??? Time passes way too fast.
"Why don't we all go to the library or something and I'll teach Hermione while you guys can have fun," Kagome suggested. Harry shook his head.
"We've been in the library too much the past few years. Besides, we wouldn't be able to have fun with her watching over us."
"How about the Gryffindor common room?" Hermione asked, eager to learn. Everyone agreed and Miroku grinned widely.
"Alright then. Tonight in the Gryffindor common room it is."
InuYasha only heard the last part and immediately disagreed.
"No!" he shouted quickly. "We can't! Not tonight at least!"
"But Kouga won't be there for you guys to fight over Ka--" Miroku protested, still grinning widely and looked very happy. Too happy.
"Why not, InuYasha?" Kagome asked, worried.
She had sensed the anxiety in his voice and was worried that something might be wrong.
"Y-you just can't. Not tonight. Why not tomorrow night instead," he suggested, beads of sweat appearing. Sango was confused, angry and all of the above.
"No. Why not tonight?" Sango insisted.
"Yea, why?" Harry inquired.
"Fine, you can all go. But I'm not."
Everyone was disappointed for a second but got over it.
"Fine."
"Whatever."
"Why InuYasha! Whatever are you planning to do all by your lonesome?" Miroku asked, making the question sound like more than it was. InuYasha bopped Miroku on the head and told him to shut up.
The door opened and the teacher came in. It was Professor Mcgonagall. Kagome smiled. Wait. Huh?! Kagome sat wide-eyed as Professor Mcgonagall sat in the teachers seat and took out her things.
"Now, it--" She was cut off.
"Its time to go professor," a voice said.
She looked out the window and said, "Yes. It would seem so. Sorry for being late, class. No homework for today since we didn't do anything."
The class cheered as one by one everyone walked out the door.
Lunch. How she hated lunch. Kagome always was bored at lunch. But today was an exception.
"InuYasha, can I talk to you for a second?" Kagome asked, pointing to a corner of the room which was covered in shadow. He nodded slowly, confused at where she wanted to go. Miroku grinned slyly and pushed him forward.
"Way to go InuYasha!" he said as InuYasha walked with Kagome. They both blushed and screamed at him at the same time.
"Its not like that!" they said.
Miroku looked away and spoke sarcastically, "Yea. Right."
As soon as they got there, Kagome's face turned sad. InuYasha thought it was because of her family but he was wrong.
"InuYasha. Why won't you tell me why you're not going? Don't you trust me?" she asked. InuYasha looked at her. He didn't want to admit it but she was really pretty. Better than Kikyou. He knew they looked alike but to him, she was better.
"I do trust you Kagome. But. Its personal."
Kagome looked hurt. He hadn't meant to do that.
"I...I understand...."
Kouga glared as he saw Kagome and InuYasha were walking over to a dark corner. Together. What did she see in him?
Sesshoumaru noticed that Kagome was walking with InuYasha. Hopefully, she was going to knock his guts out but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.
To his disgust, he found himself thinking about them making out in the dark. That was not like him. And just plain wrong.
Kikyou and Yura sat down and Kikyou noticed InuYasha. Where was he going??? Especially with Kagome!
Yura didn't care anymore. She didn't want to mess with the girl who had made her too ugly to look at. Reminding Kikyo, they both backed down. For now.
Here's a preview of a story I think I'm going to write:
Mysterious Play
Not AU. Not a one shot.
Kagome is going to Hogwarts, but not for what you'd expect. She's not a student there...but she's something more. She leaves a message with Sango but InuYasha doesn't take it well. Kaede thinks its good for her growing miko powers. InuYasha follows her and meets the famous Harry Potter. Too bad Harry won't live long enough to actually meet him.
A/N: What did ya think?
This took a long time to write.
I was sick so I'm sorry.
I updated way too late.
Can you reviewers forgive me?
