Hey guys guess who's back and ready to rumble???!!! Yup, dats me!!! thanks
for all the reviews... they really make my heart skip a beat... yeah,
Sesshomaru, Kagome and Inuyasha are all the same age. But Inuyasha and
Sesshy are brothers, but they're not twins. You see, Sesshomaru's mother
was pregnant to him two months before Inuyasha's mother. So Sesshy is older
than Inu by a month. It's possible because they have different mother's. So
Inu-taishi was two timing both.
Did that puzzle you. Hope not! just wish me good luck and hope my chapters are getting longer!!! R&R!!!
Ükaikawaii
DISCLAIMER- I DON'T OWN INUYASHA OR ANY OF IT'S WILD CHARACTERS... PERIOD!!!
Because of you
Chapter 2- Gaining friends and meeting new enemies
It was now lunch break and Kagome invited Emiko to eat with them, though Inuyasha did not completely agree with that. They were now sitting under a tall Sakura tree found outside their main campus. Kagome was eating her double deck burger while Inuyasha was gobbling up his newly cooked Ramen.
"I can't believe you Emiko," said Kagome as she took another juicy bite of her burger.
"Yeah," agreed Inuyasha thinking the same as Kagome. "This kid's a real trouble-maker, getting detention on her first day of school."
Emiko just laughed at the memory. She had fallen asleep on the first period when Mr. Mikami was discussing. She was soundly asleep muttering loudly, this subject's boring. Everyone in the class turned to her, some even chuckling. But Mr. Mikami woke her up without faltering. He shouted at her, one, for falling asleep, two, for muttering those words and three for getting herself in trouble on her first day of school. So he gave her an hour of detention after classes.
"So," Kagome started as she switched her gaze to Emiko. "Are you doing anything tomorrow night?"
"Actually," replied Emiko. "No. But I'll be doing something if I get another detention."
Kagome laughed and surprisingly, Inuyasha smiled.
"Well then, better not get yourself in trouble young missy," Kagome said.
"Why's that?"
"'Cuz I'm presently working at the Chill Groove Café just a few blocks from here. If you want, I can treat you out for dinner tomorrow and let's go watch a movie!"
"GREAT!" squealed Emiko. "I'd love that." And then she whispered. "Is Inuyasha coming?"
"Hey! I heard that!!!" shouted Inuyasha. Emiko just looked terrified.
"Well don't blame her for being terrified at you Inuyasha. You didn't give her much of a welcome a while ago you know. And, she doesn't understand how come you look like that," reasoned Kagome.
"No one does," muttered Inuyasha.
It was quiet for a few minutes. Only the chit chattering of other pupils were heard. The sun was now fully up and shinning.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha," whispered Emiko in a soft voice but of course, Inuyasha heard it clearly.
"It's alright," he replied. Emiko stared at him for a while and so did Inuyasha. Admiring his golden orbs made a blush creep to Emiko's face. It reminded her of someone.
Emiko shook her head. What was she thinking?
"Inuyasha?"
"Hmm?"
"What really happened to you? Why do you have... um... well... those ears?"
Inuyasha closed his eyes for a while. Kagome and Emiko had both their eyes on him.
"Kagome," he whispered. "You say it."
Kagome nodded and sighed. "Well, here it goes. But it's not going to be short. When Inuyasha's mother, Natasha, was pregnant with him, world war three (A/N: ok, I'm making WW3 between the German's and the Japanese, up because if Inuyasha was born some where in WW2, he is now already as old as my great, great grandfather) was going on. One night, Inu-Taishi, Inuyasha's father told Natasha to go find a safer place in another island because staying in their house wasn't safe enough for both her and the baby. He gave her a ticket for the midnight ship. Natasha didn't agree to leave her husband behind but thought of her baby's sake. So she just went with her husband's plan.
Natasha held her stomach as she ran through the streets of Tokyo. It was only 9 pm then. Natasha took Grimond Street thinking it was safer. But that's where it all went wrong. Natasha was kidnapped by a drunk German. He carried her to his abandoned house near there. Natasha was already crying by the time they reached the house. Because the man was drunk, he didn't notice Natasha was pregnant so he raped her. Natasha was screaming for help but no one came.
She crept out the house when the drunk German was asleep and reached the pier on time filled with tears. What would happen to her baby?
After 3 months, the German's decided to give up. The war was finally over and Natasha was now giving birth to her first child, Inuyasha. Inu- Taishi was there too.
The doctor came in with disappointing news. She said that Inuyasha was not going to make it unless Natasha was willing to give up her life. She also said that he would be born with some abnormalities because something went wrong during her sixth month pregnancy.
Right away, Natasha pleaded to take her life away if that meant her baby was going to live whether with abnormalities or not. So there, Inuyasha was born with these, kawaii, dog ears." Kagome sighed. She hated telling people Inuyasha's story. It just made her feel more sorry for him.
Emiko had her eyes stuck on the ground. Inuyasha has gone through this life and she just reminded him of it.
Inuyasha could smell tears starting to fill up Emiko's green sphere's. He just hated girls crying, especially if it was because of him. He leaned against the tall tree and closed his eyes.
"Stop crying," he said. Emiko wiped the tears away.
"Wasn't," she lied.
"I could smell the tears stupid," was Inuyasha's answer. Then it was silent once again.
"KAGOME!!! INUYASHA!!!"
The two people jerked right up hearing their names. Emiko did too. They all turned to their left to see a dark haired girl running their way.
The girl stopped near the Sakura tree and rested. Her loud panting could be heard by the three.
"What's up Sango?" asked Kagome.
The girl named Sango looked up. Then she stood behind Kagome.
"Save me," she whispered.
After that, the four heard a loud shout echo across the school grounds.
"LADY SANGO!!! LADY SANGO!!!" a tall, dark but handsome guy shouted. He had shoulder length hair that was tied in a small ponytail.
Kagome and Inuyasha understood Sango's situation. In fact, they were so used to it because it happened almost everyday. But clueless Emiko was left with a puzzled mind.
The man shouting for Sango ran towards them. Sango was behind Kagome still catching her breath. Both her hands were on Kagome's shoulders.
"Lady Sango, I do not understand why you always leave me like that," the long haired guy said as he sat down right beside Inuyasha and stared at Sango's brown marbles.
Then, the man switched his gaze and looked at Emiko.
"I believe we haven't met yet," he said while reaching to Emiko's hand and kissed it. Emiko's face was now the color of dark crimson.
"Oh yeah," said Kagome. "Emiko this is Miroku Hoshi. Miroku, Emiko Ishikawa, she's new here."
Emiko smiled at Miroku who still kept his tight grip on her hand. The, Miroku looked at her jade orbs with a serious face.
"Emiko-san," he said in a low serious voice which, to no surprise, made her blush even more. "Would you give me the pleasure of bearing my child?"
After that, Miroku was found kissing the floor with two slap marks from both Kagome and Emiko and three lumps on the head from Sango.
"Nice meeting you," mumbled Emiko, Kagome, Sango and Inuyasha laughed all together.
"Hi Emiko. I'm Sango Katana. I believe we will be great friends!!!" said Sango with a huge smile on her face which made Emiko wonder what happened to her a while ago and why she was running away from Miroku.
And without question, she found out the answer. She felt a hand reach out to her lower hips and gently squeezed it.
Emiko gave out a loud scream and started slapping Miroku, who was again to no surprise behind this, endlessly. ((Yeah!! Go Emiko!!!)) Sango, Inuyasha and Kagome were watching from behind without any hint they were surprised for this action.
After a few minutes later, Emiko had recovered from all the shock. Miroku laid helplessly beside Inuyasha and the three girls were chatting happily.
"Hey how about going to my place later?" asked Sango.
"I would love to but-"
"But what Emiko?"
"You see, I have an hour of detention after school," explained Emiko slightly embarrassed of her actions.
"Don't tell me you got a detention on your first day of school," said Sango looking at Emiko suspiciously. Emiko just looked at the ground.
"Yeah she did, but not on purpose," said Kagome. "It was Math."
Sango nodded and understood. The three girls agreed on one thing so far, aside from Miroku being a hentai, and it was that Math was plain B-O-R- I-N-G. Especially when Mr. Mikami started explaining Algebra and other hard terms. It just didn't go in their brains.
Inuyasha looked at his wrist watch with his half open eyes. It was now 12: 45 and 1:15 was their next class.
"Guys," he said as he opened his golden eyes widely. "I guess we should go now. Before anything else comes up and keeps us busy."
Kagome looked at her watch too and nodded. She and Inuyasha were cleaning up their mess. Sango and Emiko were now ready to go. Miroku was too.
"C'mon couple let's go!" shouted Miroku. This confused Emiko. 'Couple?!'
Sango saw the look on her new friend's face. Her eyebrows crossed each other now as she looked at Inuyasha and Kagome walk towards them.
"I believe with that expression on your face, Kag and Inu hasn't told you that they were together, right?" asked Sango.
Emiko turned to Sango with a more confused look but nodded. Then she finally accessed Sango's words.
"They are?!" she asked with a tone of excitement. They were now walking towards the main halls of the school. Inuyasha, Kagome and Miroku were in front of them.
"Yup!" was the only answer of Sango.
Emiko looked at Inuyasha and Kagome. It was hard to believe that they were together. Kagome was plain kind but Inuyasha was well... a little grumpy. But then, Kagome was the only one who understood Inuyasha completely and the knew each other more than anyone else. And with Kagome around, Inuyasha was sure to have a happier life.
'Then this relationship is for the better', she thought still eyes on the happy couple.
Emiko was walking blankly behind the group. She didn't mind at all. She looked at the ground following their loud footsteps. Then the thought came to her mind. She had friends now!!! It was the first time she had any. Ever since she was kindergarten, she was always picked on. Everyone called her a loser and told her she was weak. Everyone laughed at her when she walked or even talked. She couldn't do anything without anyone humiliating her. That's why she hated that school. She was so glad to hear that her mother has been transferred to a higher branch at their office. They needed to move because her office was now in Tokyo. The thought of leaving her school made her smile.
And now she was walking with friends. The word never came into her mind. But now, she just couldn't believe.
And just when she thought she was now having the happiest day of her life. Then she felt a strong thing bump her weak shoulder. Then next thing she knew, she stumbled and hit the floor.
"Ah, if it isn't dear Ishikawa," she heard a voice. She looked up and saw 7 people. They all made her shiver in fear. But the one that caught her eye was the one standing in front of them. He had long curly hair and a really pale face. He had this grin on his face that made fear rise from Emiko.
"Aren't you the sweetie who did this to my pal Sess?" he said coldly. Pointing to the person on his right. He pointed at his bandaged forehead and showed Emiko his hands who's bandages were already red. Emiko noticed the man he was pointing to. It was the man with silver hair. Sesshomaru, she remembered.
"What do you want from her Naraku?" asked Inuyasha who was now in front of Emiko and glaring at the guy named Naraku.
"Oh nothing much," Naraku said with a tone of irritation. "Just young sweet revenge on dear Emiko for planting bruises on my pal!!!!"
Emiko jumped. Naraku seemed mad. This Sesshomaru guy must be his best friend or something, because he was willing to take revenge for him.
Inuyasha growled. "Then try to," he said toughly and gave another death glare to both Sesshomaru and Naraku. But Naraku just smiled.
"Oh, we'll do that my dear boy, and very soon indeed, but not now. Yes, not now," said Naraku. He laughed evilly that made Emiko even more scared than ever. Before he left, he gave Inuyasha a punch. As his hand met Inuyasha's face, he stumbled on the floor.
Kagome, Sango and Miroku ran to him immediately leaving Emiko who was still on the ground.
Inuyasha's nose was bleeding bad. Right away, Emiko knew this Naraku was trouble. And so was his so-called friends.
But then, the person who was at the very back of the group stopped in front of Emiko. He had short brown hair and turquoise eyes. (there you go nikki!!!) He looked at Emiko with a serious face.
And then, he reached out a hand to Emiko. His serious face turned to a smiling one.
This guy must be the "good one" in their group, Emiko told herself allowing her hand to meet with this mans outreached one.
"Akira! Come here now!" another man shouted as Emiko got to his feet. The man had long hair tied into a braid. Emiko couldn't believe what she was seeing but he also had scary ruby eyes that darted right to Emiko.
The guy who helped Emiko up shouted "Right there!" His voice wasn't like the other's too. It was not low and scary. It was more like friendly and soothing.
He ran to the braided haired guy but before that, winked at Emiko who, for the fourth time, blushed 3 shades of red.
She just stared at that guy run to his friends. The guy with the braids hit him gently on the head. The brunette stuck out a tongue and laughed. The guy with the braids laughed too. Emiko unconsciously let out a smile.
"Oi, Emiko! Why are you smiling there?" asked a familiar voice to see Inuyasha looking at her.
"Nothing much," she replied and ran to them who were now resting on a bench outside the Science lab.
She sat with them too not daring to take of the grin on her face.
***
Inuyasha's nose now ceased bleeding and they were all settled in the Science lab. To their surprise, only fifteen minutes has passed.
"So who were those guys anyway?" Emiko asked. She was seat in front of Kagome who was in between Miroku and Inuyasha. Sango was seated beside her.
"Better not know Emiko," said Miroku.
Emiko looked at him with watery eyes.
"Oh c'mon Miroku, she has every right to know who they are," Sango said as she looked at the hentai.
"Okay, okay," said Miroku. "But you explain."
"Right," said Sango. All eyes were on her. "Those seven guys are the biggest bullies here in school. They are also seven of the richest people around. All they do is terrorized those who they think are losers. Not that you're a loser Emiko. But it is unusual for them to pick on a girl. I know they're all bullies but they do respect women. And, why did Naraku blame you for giving Sesshomaru those wounds?"
Emiko looked guilty. She didn't want them to know her encounter a while ago but told them anyway. It was easy explaining to them and they understood pretty well.
"No wonder Naraku wants revenge. Those wounds weren't a joke, but then, you didn't mean it and it was mostly Sesshomaru's fault," said Kagome as soon as Emiko finished.
"I- I- I know..." faltered Emiko. "But who are these seven guys anyway? Could you explain to me, please?"
This time, Inuyasha was the one who answered. "Naraku, Sesshomaru, Hiten, Manten, Kouga, Touya and Jakken are the name of those seven guys. Naraku is their leader and Sesshomaru his right hand and best friend. I believe you already know who they are?"
Emiko nodded as she remembered her encounter a while ago. Seeing that curly haired man Naraku and the silver haired devil Sesshomaru and...
"Who was that brunette that helped me?" she asked puzzled. If all of them were evil, how come this boy even helped her?
"That was Touya Akira," answered Miroku. "Everyone believes he's the friendliest from all of them. But we don't. This guy may act friendly, but he has a mean dark side too."
Emiko didn't listen to Miroku's last sentence. A picture of Touya came into her mind. He was cute, she admitted. But I don't want to fall for him.
"So who are the rest?" asked Emiko snapping back to reality.
"Kouga Motto is the guy with long hair tied in a high ponytail. Fancies Kagome, right?" said Sango. Inuyasha growled as Kagome gave a slight blush.
"And don't forget the Antsu brother's, Hiten and Manten. Hiten is in our year. He has long hair that's always tied in a braid. And Manten is a sophomore. Has short black hair, but almost all gone," explained Miroku.
"Stay away from those two Emiko. They have no hearts," added Kagome. Emiko nodded. These bullies were worst than the one in her old school.
"How about this Jakken guy?" she asked looking at Inuyasha.
"Oh he's nothing," Inuyasha replied with a grin. "He just follows them around. More like a slave. I don't even know why people add him to the group."
Emiko gave no expression. She was both terrified and angry with all of them but she didn't want to show her gang. If these guys were that bad, she'd better watch where she's going.
*********************************
Naraku laughed evilly. He was outside the school playing hooky with his gang.
"Bet'cha she's crying and running to her mama now huh?" said Hiten. Naraku just laughed more.
"It's gonna be fun terrorizing this girly," he said looking at his best friend. "After what she did to you, she doesn't know what to expect anymore."
Sesshomaru gave no expression but inside he was laughing. He, too, was evil.
"But I like this girl's mind," said Touya as he sat down near Manten. "Getting in trouble on the first day of school, didn't she?"
Manten nodded drinking his glass of root beer.
"Well then, let's just give Ishikawa Emiko the worst year ever!!!"
With that, the gang laughed loudly. Even serious Sesshomaru gave in. He liked Naraku's plans though he didn't show it. This is going to be a blast...

Chapter 2- Gaining friends and meeting new enemies
It was now lunch break and Kagome invited Emiko to eat with them, though Inuyasha did not completely agree with that. They were now sitting under a tall Sakura tree found outside their main campus. Kagome was eating her double deck burger while Inuyasha was gobbling up his newly cooked Ramen.

The guy who helped Emiko up shouted "Right there!" His voice wasn't like the other's too. It was not low and scary. It was more like friendly and soothing.
He ran to the braided haired guy but before that, winked at Emiko who, for the fourth time, blushed 3 shades of red.
She just stared at that guy run to his friends. The guy with the braids hit him gently on the head. The brunette stuck out a tongue and laughed. The guy with the braids laughed too. Emiko unconsciously let out a smile.
"Oi, Emiko! Why are you smiling there?" asked a familiar voice to see Inuyasha looking at her.
"Nothing much," she replied and ran to them who were now resting on a bench outside the Science lab.
She sat with them too not daring to take of the grin on her face.

Inuyasha's nose now ceased bleeding and they were all settled in the Science lab. To their surprise, only fifteen minutes has passed.
"So who were those guys anyway?" Emiko asked. She was seat in front of Kagome who was in between Miroku and Inuyasha. Sango was seated beside her.
"Better not know Emiko," said Miroku.
Emiko looked at him with watery eyes.
"Oh c'mon Miroku, she has every right to know who they are," Sango said as she looked at the hentai.
"Okay, okay," said Miroku. "But you explain."
"Right," said Sango. All eyes were on her. "Those seven guys are the biggest bullies here in school. They are also seven of the richest people around. All they do is terrorized those who they think are losers. Not that you're a loser Emiko. But it is unusual for them to pick on a girl. I know they're all bullies but they do respect women. And, why did Naraku blame you for giving Sesshomaru those wounds?"
Emiko looked guilty. She didn't want them to know her encounter a while ago but told them anyway. It was easy explaining to them and they understood pretty well.
"No wonder Naraku wants revenge. Those wounds weren't a joke, but then, you didn't mean it and it was mostly Sesshomaru's fault," said Kagome as soon as Emiko finished.
"I- I- I know..." faltered Emiko. "But who are these seven guys anyway? Could you explain to me, please?"
This time, Inuyasha was the one who answered. "Naraku, Sesshomaru, Hiten, Manten, Kouga, Touya and Jakken are the name of those seven guys. Naraku is their leader and Sesshomaru his right hand and best friend. I believe you already know who they are?"
Emiko nodded as she remembered her encounter a while ago. Seeing that curly haired man Naraku and the silver haired devil Sesshomaru and...
"Who was that brunette that helped me?" she asked puzzled. If all of them were evil, how come this boy even helped her?
"That was Touya Akira," answered Miroku. "Everyone believes he's the friendliest from all of them. But we don't. This guy may act friendly, but he has a mean dark side too."
Emiko didn't listen to Miroku's last sentence. A picture of Touya came into her mind. He was cute, she admitted. But I don't want to fall for him.
"So who are the rest?" asked Emiko snapping back to reality.
"Kouga Motto is the guy with long hair tied in a high ponytail. Fancies Kagome, right?" said Sango. Inuyasha growled as Kagome gave a slight blush.
"And don't forget the Antsu brother's, Hiten and Manten. Hiten is in our year. He has long hair that's always tied in a braid. And Manten is a sophomore. Has short black hair, but almost all gone," explained Miroku.
"Stay away from those two Emiko. They have no hearts," added Kagome. Emiko nodded. These bullies were worst than the one in her old school.
"How about this Jakken guy?" she asked looking at Inuyasha.
"Oh he's nothing," Inuyasha replied with a grin. "He just follows them around. More like a slave. I don't even know why people add him to the group."
Emiko gave no expression. She was both terrified and angry with all of them but she didn't want to show her gang. If these guys were that bad, she'd better watch where she's going.
*********************************
Naraku laughed evilly. He was outside the school playing hooky with his gang.
"Bet'cha she's crying and running to her mama now huh?" said Hiten. Naraku just laughed more.
"It's gonna be fun terrorizing this girly," he said looking at his best friend. "After what she did to you, she doesn't know what to expect anymore."
Sesshomaru gave no expression but inside he was laughing. He, too, was evil.
"But I like this girl's mind," said Touya as he sat down near Manten. "Getting in trouble on the first day of school, didn't she?"
Manten nodded drinking his glass of root beer.
"Well then, let's just give Ishikawa Emiko the worst year ever!!!"
With that, the gang laughed loudly. Even serious Sesshomaru gave in. He liked Naraku's plans though he didn't show it. This is going to be a blast...
