This chapter's summary: In this chapter we learn a little about some of Kayla's abilities, and a new flashback too. Kagome's week is almost up. After getting the things she needs done, she is almost loking foward to going back to the past. When Kayla doesn't show up taht morning to walk Kagome to school, Kagome begins to worry about what really goes on in her troubled friend's life. Later in that some day Kagome gets a little piece of it. And does Kayla get alittle piece of someone's past that she never knew existed?

I'm back Inuyasha…and I brought a friend!

With so much test make-ups, homework, and studying, the week went by so fast. There are just not enough hours in the day. By Friday, Kagome found herself yearning for Inuyasha and her friends. She was surprised that he hadn't come for her. Kagome checked back at the well that morning to see if anything had changed. Inuyasha wasn't waiting at the well for her in her family's shrine. So she walked back to her house, and waited till Kayla got there. She and Kagome had walked to school every morning that week, and back every afternoon. But Kagome found it odd that Kayla never wanted to walk to her house.

Kagome didn't think much of it. I guess Kayla is just being nice and making sure I make it back o.k. since Grandpa has everyone convinced I'm a porcine doll about to break if I strain myself the least bit.

Kagome watched for Kayla. Kagome was getting worried after a while, since if she didn't leave now she would be late for school and Kayla still hadn't shown. So she began walking along, hoping Kayla would catch up or maybe she had just forgotten. But that's so unlike Kayla to forget anything!

When Kagome got into the school yard she searched the ocean of students, but found no trace of Kayla. Kagome didn't have any luck either looking for her in school. But 5th period she began to worry, and wanted to call Kayla at home to check on her. Then she realized that Kayla never gave her her number. Just as she began to ponder the other things that Kayla seemed to forget to tell Kagome about her home life, Kayla walked into class. She looked horrible. Her hair was messier than usual, her lipstick was dried on her lips, and she looked close to passing out.

Kagome watched as she took a seat across from her. She heard the class snicker at a comment a boy made that she couldn't quite make out. Kayla just stared down as her desk, fiddling with her crystal choker. Kagome had noticed that she tended to do that a lot. When she had asked her why, Kayla just had said that this crystal had been in her family for years, and her grandmother had given it to her before passing on. She said that all the women in her family had worn it.

6th period came, which was Kagome's lunch. Good, now I can talk to Kayla. Kagome waited till everyone had left. Kayla always seemed to linger till after everyone left. Kagome was about to say something to her, when their teacher called Kayla to his desk.

"Miss Hashi, I can not have this tardiness any longer."

"Mr. Harchu, I promise I will make up the missing work."

Kagome fiddled with her backpack latch, while really she was just overhearing what they were saying.

"Yes you will, as homework. And as my homework, I will be calling your parents."

"No! Mr. Harchu, please. " Kayla handed Mr. Harchu a thick packet.

"This is a report on all the work I had missed. I summarized practically all the chapters that we have had so far."

Oh my gosh! That must be about 15 chapters!

"As incredibly studious as this is Kayla, I'm sorry. You've missed so much. And I have yet to get a note from your parents saying that these absences and tardiness are legal. I have to take action."

"NO! Please!" Kayla grabbed the teacher by the arm as he got up.

Kagome twirled around. She saw Kayla's family crystal glow, yet the teacher didn't seem to notice. The teacher grabbed Kayla's arm and yanked her sleeve up.

"Are those…?"

"I am not a cutter Mr. HARCHU!" Kayla yanked back her arm, her crystal seemed to serge with power now. "You are just like all of them. You are just like your students. Believing those lies." Kayla's eyes filled with tears, but she didn't let them release.

"Kayla, I hadn't meant that. I was just concern. Those scars…"

"They aren't scars!" She rubbed her arm. "I'll make up the work." Kayla turned and walked to the door, and holding the frame she looked over her shoulder. "My phone…it isn't working. No one has paid the phone company in ages."

Kagome's mind replayed the scene in the classroom. She looked for Kayla at lunch. When she found her, Kagome felt horrible as she finally witnessed what Kayla was going through at school when she hadn't been around.

"Give it back!" Kayla grabbed for her sketch pad as an extremely tall boy held it over her head by the fountain.

"Hum… lets see what's inside, shall we?" He began to flip through the book.

"I said give it back!" Kayla grabbed for it, and again the boy pulled away.

"You want it…?" He looked at her.

Kagome pushed through the crowd that had developed around him.

"Stop it!" Kagome yelled making her way to the front. She stepped in front of the boy.

"Kagome I can handle this." Kayla stares seemed to pierce the back of Kagome's head.

"Why should you have to deal with this? This is wrong. You're all wrong." Kagome looked around the crowd, spotting her friends huddled together close by. "You all are wrong to do this to her. Just because she seems different?"

"KAGOME! I've got this!" Kayla pushed her aside, staring down the boy. "Give me the book, or you will be sorry."

"Oh, you want this." He flapped the book. "Go fish!"

Kagome watched in horror as all of Kayla's precious charcoal and pencil drawings in her book were thrown toward the fountain, about to be washed away. Suddenly the book stalled in thin air, and flapped back and forth, then landing in front of Kayla's feet. Kayla stared down at the book. The boy began to back up.

"How-how did you do that?!" He stared at her in fright.

Kayla, her shocked expression gone, kept her eyes down on the ground. Her face was covered by her long hair, but Kagome could tell that Kayla had a malicious smile on her lips. Kagome even thought she heard her laugh. It reminded her of how Inuyasha acted, with such coy confidence, almost full demon-like. He scared her then, and now Kayla did the same.

Kayla kept her glance downward. "I told you that you shouldn't mess with me."

The boy began to levitate. "HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON?"

The crowd parted and began to disperse as they saw him rise.

Kayla bent down and picked up her book. The boy fell to the ground. "Serves you right."

"WITCH!" He said, backing away from Kayla on all fours. "She's a witch!"

The crowd began to agree, and pointed at her. Kayla finally looked up, now her with the fear. Her head spun around, her hair swirled.

"I'm not a witch!" She turned to a kid in the crowd, who backed up and ran. "I'm not!" Kayla kept turning around and around, then she darted toward the school's outside gates.

Kagome followed, ignoring her friends' protests against her doing so. But she was soon stopped by campus security.

Kagome had spent the rest of the day explaining to her principal about the situation. Finally he released her, and she had to spend the rest of the last period in class. All the while she watched the clock till the bell rang. She knew everyone was still talking about what had happened at lunch. Kagome didn't know how Kayla had been able to do what she did. But however she did it, she obviously didn't know. It was like something possessed her. She obviously was scared stiff of what she had just done.

As soon as class ended, Kagome was out of the school gate before anyone else. She didn't bother to go to her locker. She ran straight home, up the long steps leading to the house. As soon as she reached her house, something jumped out of the tree and landed right in front of her.

"You're coming back! NOW!" Inuyasha yanked her forward by the hand.

"Inuyasha, wait…you don't understand. My friend…she needs me!"

"I need you! Back home with me!"

"Inuyasha…"

"Kagome, I think that Miroku spotted a jewel shard. We have to go now!"

Kagome sighed. Yet again her personal matters had to be put on hold.

Kayla poked her head out of the tall tree that she had climbed up to hide out in till Kagome got back from school. She hadn't known where else to go since she was afraid she might lose control and hurt someone else. I hadn't been able to control that, she thought. Why is that? I've never done that before! That power…that serge of energy…it felt…great. It felt great to get back at them. To make them scared for once. That's what scared her.

Kayla had jumped down from the tree when she has heard Kagome's name called. A boy stood in front of her dressed in red, with white hair.

Odd, he seems so…familiar? She leaned her hand on the tree's trunk as she seemed overcome by something inside her.

Flashback

"Leave me be!" The girl yelled.

"HA! Yeah right! This is more fun, right guys?"

"Yeah!" The two other boys yelled out, and they continued to kick sand at her, and push her around.

"I call upon the witches of time.

The witches from my family line.

Of past, present and future time,

grant me your powers

to protect one of your own kind." The little girl chanted softly between her muffled tears and cries.

"Leave her alone!" A boy yelled.

"Inuyasha!" The girl looked up, and standing in front of her was Inuyasha.

Inuyasha pushed the boys to the ground. He held out his sharp claw hands, readyto attack.

"We aren't afraid of you!' They yelled at him.

"Well, you three better be afraid of me then! I should tell your mothers about this!" An other woman came from out of no where.

The boys ran off as she neared the group. Inuyasha picked the girl up.

"Serenity, get away from him." Ordered the older woman.

Serenity looked at the older woman puzzled. "But Grandma, he was protecting me. He is my friend!"

"I said get away!" Serenity's grandmother yanked her away. "Go boy, and never see Serenity again."

"No!" Serenity yanked out of her grandmother's weak grasp. "He is my friend! My only friend!" Serenity held onto Inuyasha's hand.

"You have no friends." Her grandmother said. "You can trust no one!" Her grandmother turned and walked away.

Serenity began to cry softly. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her, smoothing her hair down. "I promise you Serenity, I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU! I'll never let anyone take you away. I promise. I will protect you!"

End Flashback

Kayla found herself gasping on the ground. She felt so a part of the vision she had just had, as though she was there living it at that moment. Yet all of it had come and gone so fast. It was too much for her to handle. She looked up, and saw as Kagome and the boy walk into Kagome's family's shrine. Kayla chased after them. She stopped at the door, and saw under the door's crack, the room had lit up. She pulled the door to the side, revealing only steps leading to a well below.

Kayla walked down the steps, and looked over into the well. It looks too dark. Kagome wouldn't have gone down there. Why would she? Kayla thought all this, and suddenly realized she had leaned too far out, and found herself blinded by a milky white light, tumbling into the obis

A/N: So did you all like it? I hope so. I originally wasn't going to have the school yard scene, but then I thought, it was going to be about two more chapters before anything new pops up about Kayla, so I added you all in something extra special. An early Christmas present for you all. Or Hanukah...or kwannza...you pick. O.K. I better go, Inuyasha is up next on Cartoon Network. I'm currently on the 6th chapter, so i should get thatposted upbyhopefullytuesday.

Note to Reviewer ThebigW: Thanks for the review (.)>! I have to read some of your stories when I get a chance. Truthfully, I was hoping for more reviews. Well, thats O.K. I'm doing this to work on my writing skills anyway. Thanks for saying that it is well written. I've read a lot of fan fiction with good story plots, but lacking words and enopugh description. So it's an honor to have your approval on that. Thanks again!
