The Accident in Chemistry Class

Chapter 11: The 'Playmates'

Disclaimer: Nope. Still don't own 'em. But I'm gonna look for something else to own... Oh, Billyyyyy... Perverted grin

Yumi was bouncing up and down on Kagome's bed and Kei was nosing Buyo, Kagome's very obese cat. Meanwhile, the schoolgirl was watching all of this in disbelief. She kept opening her mouth to say something, and then change her mind and close it, and then change her mind again, and so forth. Finally InuYasha came pouncing in the room, looking for Buyo to taunt the cat, and saw Yumi and Kei.

"Inu!" Yumi exclaimed and pounced on him.

"Yumi?" InuYasha stopped, staring at the kitsune on top of him. "Is that...really...?" he mumbled to himself.

"Yup!" she chirped. "I haven't seen you forever! You and I were just pups! We always played together, remember?"

"Uh..."

"Inu! You don't remember?"

"No...?" InuYasha muttered bashfully.

"Ohh..." Yumi shrugged, looking around sadly. "That's okay... I was younger, so I guess I can remember it better than you can..."

"Well, I mean, I remember you. But..." InuYasha burst.

"It's okay, Inu, I understand." Yumi held up her hand in defiance. Swallowing her pride, she asked shakily in a mere whisper, "What about Kyou?"

InuYasha flicked an ear as he turned to look at her.

"You know he's dead... Right?"

InuYasha nodded, glaring at the floor.

"Kyou really looked up to you. A lot." Yumi muttered, her eyes casting a dark glance at the inu-hanyou.

"Oh." InuYasha mumbled.

Apparently, Kagome told herself, Kyou must've been someone close to InuYasha. He seemed to try and not be emotional about it, though.

But how Yumi met InuYasha, Kagome didn't know. And InuYasha didn't exactly remember...

"And Denieru..." Yumi's voice trailed away. "You probably don't remember him. I think Mama had him after you left..."

InuYasha was pretending to look only mildly interested.

"InuYasha!" Kagome hissed in his ear and elbowed him in the gut.

"So...where is he?"

"With old Lady Kaede. I was afraid he might get killed in this...uh...realm." Yumi replied, smoothing out the wrinkles on her sleeve.

"Well, uh, wow! am I starved! Let's go down and eat. I'm sure my mom won't mind having extra mouths to feed." Kagome added as awkward silence overcame the room. She pounced behind Yumi and Kei and pushed them towards the door, and then snatched InuYasha's hand and pulled him out into the hallway.

"Hi, InuYasha!" Souta exclaimed, jumping on the inu-hanyou's shoulders and petting his ears. InuYasha grinned and leapt the whole flight of stairs. "Hi, Mom!" Souta waved to his mother.

"Hey, uh, Mom? You don't mind if I have two, uh...more friends to eat, do you...?" Kagome asked sheepishly, revealing a kitsune girl and cat girl.

Mrs. Higurashi just glanced at them and nodded, giving the two female demons a friendly smile.

Wow, Mom sure is getting used to this demon business! a voice in Kagome's head thought, making her grin.

Okay, I'm sorta drawing a blank here, so I'm gonna need your all's help (please!). Just give me some ideas in your reviews and I'll write it out. Oh yeah, hope you liked the chapter! I'm so sorry, I hadn't been working on it much!
