"I'm home," yelled Aaron walking through the door hoping that there was actually someone there. Most of the time he was alone or with his younger sister. His parents tended to be busy most of the time so that left them out of the question
"About time. I was starting to wonder what it was that took you so long to get done," came the voice of a young girl from the kitchen of their rather large house. Their family was really rich. The girl walked out of the kitchen to reveal a girl with long black hair that ran down her back and with a stern look on her face. She had bright violet eyes and at times a nasty attitude, but others she could be very sweet.
He lived a very good life but it tended to be a bit boring from time to time. There was once a time for him that that was completely different but that was a long time ago and he couldn't go back, at least not yet. "Shut it shrimp. Where's mom and dad?" asked Aaron shaking his head a little in frustration.
"They are out because there was some things that they had to do at work," said his sister Yukina before she plopped down on the very comfortable blue couch. Most of the time she had little patience with her brother.
"Well I am going out if they come back before I do, make sure that you tell them that I did as I was told," said Aaron putting on some casual clothes and walking out the door before his sister was able to get another word out of her mouth.
She then managed to yell out one thing hoping that he would hear, "We have plans so don't wonder off for a few days like you did before!" When he didn't even acknowledge her, she just sighed and turned around and walked back into the kitchen.
Although he heard her loud and clear, who couldn't with his hearing and how loud it was that she could yell, he just didn't even bother to respond. 'God, she is too much like mother at times that it tends to be a bit scary,' he thought with a slight shiver in fear. He loved his mother greatly, it was just that she could just be plain scary at times much like his sister.
He ran down the streets very quickly without one ounce of fatigue. It took a lot more than a small run to make him tired, small run for him being more miles than a normal person couldn't begin to come close to running nonstop. He loved freedom more than anything. That is why he loved to run a lot. It gave him the space that most women wouldn't allow him to have. 'The dangers of being good-looking,' he thought with a very arrogant smirk. In just the two days that he had been at school, he had women swarming all around him like bugs to a bright light.
He finally came to a stop without a drop of sweat on his forehead or without being the slightest bit tired. He was at the bottom of the steps that led up to the Higurashi shrine. He gave a slight shrug before he decided to just walk up it.
Kagome walked out of the well house with a very reluctant Inuyasha following behind her. She was rather cheerful because even if it was just for one night, she would be able to live a normal life like she used to before she originally fell down the well.
Inuyasha was not happy in the least because in the past few days, they had been unable to even find a single jewel shard anywhere. He was beginning to regret the deal that he'd made with Kagome just so that they could go and look. They had found nothing and he was stuck going to this dance thing that he knew nothing about.
"Oh come on Inuyasha. Lighten up a little will you? I am sure that it would be much better for you to be here tonight anyways. Every time that you turn human in the feudal ear, there is almost always some sort of problem that ends up occurring," Kagome stated the obvious.
"I don't want to go to this damn dance that you mentioned. It just sounds so stupid," he grumbled folding his hands across his chest and into the sleeves of his fire rat haori.
"It will be fun. You had also better watch you mouth tonight or when we get back I will personally sit you so many times that you won't be able to move for weeks even with your demonic healing abilities," she stated with an evil glint in his eyes.
Inuyasha could help but gulp at the mere thought of that even happening. He knew he had better do what Kagome had said. Before he met her he wouldn't listen to anyone but now that he knew her, he found he would do stuff that he wouldn't normally do.
Before he knew that anything happened, Inuyasha found himself thrown into some bushes by Kagome. He was confused as to what had happened. "Kagome, What the hell was that for!" he asked but the stare he received made him shut up.
Kagome noticed that there was someone out that wasn't a part of her family and she knew that if anyone saw Inuyasha the way he was now that they might freak out. People of her time weren't all that used to demons if at all. They weren't exactly too common. "Aaron, what are you here?" she asked with a nervous chuckle.
"You can't say that it is all that surprising that there are people that actually come to the shrines. I am new so I figured I would get a better look around this town since it is my new home," he said calmly with a small shrug.
Inuyasha thought his nose was playing tricks on him but for once he had no idea what it was that he smelled. 'What is with this guy and why am I smelling this?' he asked himself. Inuyasha was so confused that he felt like wrangling the truth out of the kid but he knew that Kagome might not be too happy and whenever she wasn't happy, he usually had some back problems.
"Oh, ok. Well then... enjoy your look around," Kagome said before she walked calmly the other way to avoid any encounters with him so he wouldn't see Inuyasha before sundown.
"Great, another night as a stupid human. My life just can't get any better," Inuyasha said sarcastically while looking at his human form in the mirror. His long raven black hair, normal human ears instead of his dog- ears, and violet eyes staring right back at him. He wished there were a way that he could get rid of this once a month problem. 'That is the reason I want to be a full-fledged demon,' he thought with a smirk.
"It is not all that bad Inuyasha. I think you look very nice like that but the only problem is that you don't have those cute dog ears," Kagome said walking out of her restroom in a priestess outfit that made her look like Kikyo, she kept her hair its normal style though. Her grandfather had given her the outfit but she never had any use for it in this time so she hardly wore it.
When Inuyasha saw Kagome, he thought it was actually Kikyo. He shook that thought off when he knew that there were many differences between the two. He had to admit that she looked very nice in a way that didn't involve her looking like Kikyo.
Kagome noticed Inuyasha's stare and turned towards him with an annoyed look on her face because she had a reason that she knew why he was looking at her the way he was. "Why are you staring at me? It had better not be because I look like Kikyo again," she warned making the usually courageous Inuyasha back up a few steps.
"I-it's nothing like that," he stuttered with a nervous chuckle. "Come on, lets just go and get this over with so we can get back to looking for the jewel shards," muttered Inuyasha returning to his normal self as he walked past her and out of the door.
Murmured whispers were all around them as they walked towards the front gate to her school. The lights were on all around and many students just seemed to be hanging out in front of it talking with either their dates or their friends. By the mere murmured whispers as well as the stares the two of them were receiving. They guessed that it was all about them.
Inuyasha's arms were folded across his chest and his hands were in the other arms sleeve. He was seriously pissed off because Kagome forced him to leave the tetsusaiga back at her home. It was a good thing that he was human at that moment. Now he had all these nosy people staring at him and Kagome. His control was on the verge of breaking but he knew of the lashing kagome would give him if he did.
"They just haven't seen you before Inuyasha. So get used to it until they just forget about you with time or until they are just haven't too good of a time to even care," said Kagome not even turning to look at him because she knew how aggravated he was to begin with and the stare were aggravating her as well.
The two of them walked into the gym to see many different students all around wearing the different styles of the feudal era. Kagome finally turned around to look at Inuyasha to find that he was gone. She was confused but it snapped out of it when her friends turned up.
"Hey Kagome!" Her friend Yuka yelled through all of the music and noise that was circulating through the gym. "It is so good to see that you could make it today and not have any sort of illness," she said happily when she caught up with Kagome. "Where's Hojo?" she asked not seeing him anywhere.
"I don't know. Why are you asking about him? I am not here with him anyways," said Kagome slightly confused. Hojo hadn't even asked her at all. Plus she was here with Inuyasha instead.
"Oh really? Hojo was supposed to ask you to come with him. I am greatly surprised that he didn't. Does that mean that you're here all alone? That's terrible but I am sure Hojo is somewhere around here," she said looking throughout the gym.
"I did not come here alone. I have a date, it just isn't Hojo like you wanted it to be," said Kagome trying to look around to find her date. She then located him over at the refreshment table. 'There he is,' Kagome thought but became embarrassed when she saw him sniffing at the punch.
"Oh really? Is it that two timing boyfriend of yours?" she asked looking around for him but she had no idea where to start look because she had no idea what he even looked like.
"Yeah, that's him but you make it sound worse than it actually is. He is just having a bit of a hard time with certain things," she said trying to stand up for Inuyasha. "If you want to meet him then follow me," she said walking in the direction that she saw Inuyasha in and she hoped that he would at least try to behave himself.
Even as a human Inuyasha had senses that were far beyond that of a normal human but greatly weaker than that of a youkai or his normal hanyou senses. 'Stinks of alcohol,' Inuyasha thought while sniffing at the punchbowl.
"Inuyasha!" came Kagome's voice causing Inuyasha to turn around to see her running towards him. She came to a stop in front of him with a smile on her face as Yuka came running up behind her. Kagome looked towards the punchbowl because she had seen Inuyasha sniffing at it only a minute before. "If you wanted a drink than get one," she said thinking that was why he was sniffing at the punchbowl.
"It reeks of alcohol," he replied monotonously while looking at the Kagome. He never really liked the smell of alcohol; it always was a little strong on his normally sensitive nose.
"Great, someone must have spiked the punch," Kagome muttered with a sigh as her head dropped down towards the ground. Her head lifted up with a smile on her face this time. "This is my friend Yuka," said Kagome pointing towards Yuka who just seemed to stare at Inuyasha.
"Whatever," muttered Inuyasha only taking a quick glance towards her friend before looking back at Kagome. He then realized that the girl was still staring at him. "What?" he pretty much barked at her.
'Forget Hojo, I can see why it is that Kagome never gives Hojo a chance and keep going back to this two-timer. He has got to be the biggest hunk I've ever seen,' she thought with a small blush.
"Yuka... Yuka?" asked Kagome waving a hand in front of her face because she seemed to have zoned out. She snapped out of it a moment later much to Kagome's relief. "This is Inuyasha," she said pointing to Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha? Doesn't that mean dog demon?" she asked after thinking it over for a second. "You don't look anything like a dog or a demon from what I have seen from stories," she muttered looking him over. She then grabbed Kagome's arm and dragged her away for a few moments. "Hey Kagome, does he have a brother?" she asked hoping that if he did she could have him since Kagome seemed to have taken Inuyasha for herself.
"Um... yeah, but although he is good looking physically he is as cold as ice and as hardheaded as a rock much like Inuyasha is at times," said Kagome with a playful laugh at the mere memory of Sesshomaru.
"Plus Sesshomaru wouldn't go for humans like you," muttered Inuyasha as he walked up to the two of them. He didn't seem to realize what he had said but the glare from Kagome seemed to make him close his mouth for the time being at least.
"Human like me? You are talking like you are as if your name implies you to be by being related to someone who thinks that," she said but she saw Inuyasha stupid stare at her choice of words. "It mean it makes you sound as if you really were a demon," she stated simply. "Plus, how could you tell that there was alcohol in that?" she just had to ask because it was kind of confusing her as to how he knew of it since she was sure no one else knew of it.
"Of course he isn't a demon Yuka. His brother is crazy at times and likes to think about stuff like that. He also just doesn't like the smell of alcohol because he is used to smelling it," said Kagome just using that first thing that popped into her head. She did not want her friends to know that Inuyasha was a demon because people might not think too lightly about something like that.
Hojo was frantically looking all over the room. Over the past two days many bad things have been happening to him and he had to be a bit cautious. He was looking for Kagome as well as looking for the cause of his trouble. He spotted her over at the refreshment table with Yuka and a man that he had never even seen before. He walked over intent on asking her to dance.
Aaron sat at a table while his date and a few friends of hers were talking without a care in the world. He had some food in his hand and was lowering it and raising it in order to get it in line with his target.
He watched as Hojo walked towards Kagome and her friend. He knew exactly what it was that he was going to do. He watched as Hojo stopped and it looked like Kagome and her friend hadn't even noticed him standing there. He opened his mouth to speak and Aaron took that as he signal and launched the food.
Hojo opened his mouth to ask Kagome to dance but as soon as it was opened, something flew into it and got caught in his throat. He choked a bit while hitting at his chest to get his throat unclogged. No one seemed to even notice that anything had happened to him. When he could finally breath again, he looked up to ask Kagome but he realized that she was gone. 'Damnit,' he cursed mentally.
Aaron was laughing his head off and his success with Hojo. He looked over towards Kagome only to see Inuyasha staring at him with a knowing smirk on his face. He let out a gulp but sighed when Inuyasha turned and continued to walk after Kagome and her friend.
Aaron walked into his home later that night with a smirk on his face at the great job he had done tonight. He walked in to see his sister standing by the door waiting for him. "Yeah, yeah, I know. We have a job to do now so lets just get it over with," he muttered with a sigh because he didn't even get to rest up for a little bit before they had to continue.
