OH, I feel so special! I've been getting sooo many reviews lately on my stories, especially this one! Please read my other non-depressing story Havoc at Hogwarts if you haven't already and PLEASE review it. I worked really hard to put 9 chapters up and nobody reads them. Still happy! Thank you all for your support, it means a lot to me. Oh right, the disclaimer! I don't own Furuba or Inuyasha as much as I might like to. Ok, I'll stop stalling. Wait, not yet. I have been busy and had writers block so that's why I haven't updated in forever. Now I'll stop stalling. Here's the story!
Chapter 2
New Students
"Please make yourselves at home." said Shigure. "I think that Tohru and Yuki will need to get going to school soon."
"SCHOOL!! I completely forgot!" shouted Tohru as she ran to get her uniform on and bag packed. "I'm sorry, but I've got to go!"
"Um, are you sure you want to go to school looking like that?" said Shigure, pointing out the fact that her uniform was completely covered in dirt and mud. "Ah, suddenly she remembers her incident in the woods."
"It's not that bad, maybe no one will notice!" she said hopefully.
"I think they will." replied Yuki and Shigure in unison.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go to school." she said apologetically.
"No, that's okay. A promise is a promise." Tohru left the house in a flurry of wind.
"Yuki, you need to be getting to school soon too." reminded Shigure
"Fine. I'll do anything to get away from that baka neko." he said coldly. Then he looked in shock at what he had just said. He had forgotten already about the guests. Inuyasha and Kagome were both blinking blankly at Yuki. There was an awkward silence that was seemingly not broken as Yuki went to his room to get ready for school.
"Well, I'd like to see all three of you." said Shigure, finally breaking the silence. "But first, I think it would be fair to ask you three to repair the hole in the roof."
"What do you mean three?!" shouted Inuyasha. "That kid," he said, pointing to Kyo, "made the hole in the roof, not us!"
"Sit boy!" There was a loud thump as Inuyasha was flung face-first on the ground. "Of course we'll help!" said Kagome smiling. Grumbling incoherently, Inuyasha got up from the floor.
"Well, I'll leave you to it. Oh, and Kyo, we gave away your room." he said walking out.
"You what?!" he yelled at Shigure's back, but he had already left. "Alright, I'll go get a ladder." he said leaving. When he came back he found Kagome and Inuyasha arguing over how they were going to fix the roof.
"I say we should do a thorough job of the thing and fill the hole in with plaster." said Kagome insistently.
"That'll take too long. Besides, all we need to do is keep the rain out and where are we supposed to get plaster?"
"I don't know where to get plaster, but a tarp will leak after a while." They continued to argue back and forth until Kyo was seemingly watching a tennis match, eyes flying from one person to another. This is really getting annoying thought Kyo, his temper rising.
"Hey!" shouted Kyo.
"WHAT?!" yelled Inuyasha and Kagome in unison.
"First," he said, setting the ladder down underneath the hole, "do you do anything other than argue?! And second, a tarp will do for now, we can call a pro later if need be." he said, finding a solution to end their endless debating. "You," he said pointing at Inuyasha, "get a tarp and scissors from the supply closet down the hall. And you," he said pointing to Kagome, "get duct tape from the same closet. Do I have to make all the decisions around here?" he said exasperated.
"What makes you think you can just suddenly become in charge around here?" retorted Inuyasha.
"Because I'm the only one who knows my way around the house." he shouted angrily, "So it's my directions we'll be following."
"Grrr, what impudence allows you to speak that way to a demon. I should cut your throat you worthless worm!" The conversation always turns violent when Inuyasha's around. thought Kagome He's absolutely hopeless.
"You mean half demon." retorted Kyo slyly.
"That's it!" said Inuyasha, drawing the Tetsaiga. Of course, it didn't transform into it's true form. "Useless thing." he said angrily, dropping the rusted blade. Kyo was already in a fighting stance.
"Hmf. I don't need it to defeat a weakling human. Iron reaver soul stealer!" he said running at Kyo.
"Sit boy!" (thump) "Fighting will only make our job worse and harder to do while injured." stated Kagome practically. "So the supply closet is down the hall?" she asked Kyo.
"Yeah, the second door on the right." grumbled Kyo. He was in a distinct bad mood from being denied his fight with Yuki and now Inuyasha.
Kagome went to go retrieve the needed tape, tarp, and scissors. She did her best to hurry, afraid what might happen if Kyo and Inuyasha were left in a room alone together. To her relief, when she returned with the equipment the two were merely staring daggers at each other.
In time the roof was fixed, but not without the occasional argument between the two newest rivals in the house. However, they were always cut short by a glare from Kagome and left to grumble. It had been almost an hour when they finally went in search of Shigure to tell him they had finished.
They found him in his study working on his newest novel. He looked up from his work to see Kagome's smiling face announcing the completed work.
"Well, it took you long enough, I hope you didn't end up fixing anything other than the ceiling." He said, noticing the fact that Inuyasha and Kyo were glaring at each other.
"No, nothing else. We would've been done faster if someone wouldn't be so argumentative." replied Kagome.
"I see. If that's all done, I have some tests for you three to fill out." Shigure answered, handing each of them a small stack of papers. I wonder, does she mean Kyo or Inuyasha was argumentative. wondered Shigure absently.
"What the hell are these for?" said Kyo suspiciously.
"Nothing special. Eh, just make sure I get them back completed as soon as possible." he replied unconvincingly. All three looked at him skeptically before leaving the office. Inuyasha added a look that plainly stated that if it had anything to do with something he didn't want, Shigure would pay for it. Shigure breathed a visible sigh of relief when he was alone again in his office.
Back in the hallway, the threesome were looking over the tests. They seemed to cover all the basic subjects, math, reading, grammar, history, and science. Unfortunately Inuyasha had lived in the feudal era of Japan all his life and was not exactly up to date. Math and science had progressed a lot and history was .... lets just say at least half of it hadn't happened yet.
Once they were back in Kyo's old room they decided to help each other out with the problems. It took about two hours to get through all of the tests. Kyo and Kagome were almost telling Inuyasha what to write on the history exam. Nevertheless, it was completed by lunchtime.
Kagome made a simple and quick lunch for everyone. To Shigure it was heaven compared to the usual takeout. However, sparks were flying between Kyo and Inuyasha during the meal, making it much less pleasant.
"So, it looks like those two don't exactly get along." said Shigure.
"No."replied Kagome "Oh, by the way, what were those tests for anyways? How did we all do?" At this Inuyasha and Kyo both perked up their animal ears.
"You all passed with flying colors! ..... Oh, and it was the, um, the entrance exam to Kiabara High School." his voice dropped off at the end.
"Huh? But I'm still in a different school?" said Kagome.
"Wait just a second, does that mean I'm gonna to be going to the same school as that damn Yuki?!" shouted Kyo.
"Sheesh, what've you got against Yuki anyway?" Kagome asked. "I don't see anything wrong with him."
"Well, does it?!" Kyo didn't seem to have heard Kagome.
"......... yes?" Shigure replied nervously.
"What the HELL were you THINKING SHIGURE?!?!" (I don't think I need to say who said that.)
"Hold it, I'm not going to school! What do I need to go to school for?!" shouted Inuyasha.
"To keep you out of the house to make sure you don't break anything for at least part of the day." replied Kagome. "Oh, and you'll have to wear the uniform Inuyasha."
"WHAT?!?!?!!"
The saying "what?" has two meanings, but it is not always obvious which is being used. One meaning is "what did you say? I didn't hear you," a simple meaning that is more commonly used. The other meaning is more complex and less often used. It means, "I heard what you said, I just don't believe it's true," or "you can't be serious about what you just said,". These meanings can be confusing, but the second meaning is more commonly spoken in anger. Unless the person has been mumbling for a long while the same thing, one might be angry when you said "what?" but it is unlikely. Inuyasha clearly meant the second meaning, but it may not be obvious.
"I said 'you'll have to wear a uniform'."
"I am not going to school, Kagome!!"
"SIT!!" 'thump' Inuyasha can be so childish sometimes.
The End! Just kidding. (Runs away from an army of 10 year olds sent by the readers with the banner Y.S.U. (Younger Siblings Unite) I said I was kidding! (Runs off into the distance)
