Chapter 3: Phone Call

Eri picked up the phone and dialed Kagome's phone number. After several rings, a woman's voice replied. "Hello." Kagome's mother asked.

"Uumm... Hi, ma'am. This is Eri. Something happened to Kagome. She wants to speak to someone called 'Inuyasha'." Eri replied.

"Inuyasha... Oh, he's right here. He's been waiting for her. Should I get him on the phone" Kagome's mother asked.

Eri turned toward the desk and move close to her friend. "She says she wants to get this guy on the phone. Is that what you want?" Eri asked.

"Just tell her to have Inuyasha come here." Kagome said.

"Yeah, get Inuyasha on the phone. I wanna talk to him. I'm curious to find out what he is like." Eri said.

"ERI! WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT!" Kagome screamed.

"Calm down, Kagome. Of course we have time." Eri teased.

On the other end of the phone, Eri could hear Kagome's mother talking to Inuyasha. "Here, just hold this like that and talk." Eri overhead Kagome's Mom explain to Inuyasha.

"I just talk, right?" Inuyasha asked as soon as he had the phone.

"Is this Inuyasha?" Eri asked.

"There's a girl's voice coming out of this thing and she knows my name!" Inuyasha exclaimed in a surprised gasp.

"Uumm... you do understand the concept of the telephone, right?" Eri asked Inuyasha.

"This machine wants to make me look like an idiot. I'll just have to destroy it!" Inuyasha shouted out.

"NO! PLEASE, DON'T!" Kagome's mother could be overheard screaming.

"I'm at Kagome's school and she says she wants you to come here to the Nurse's Office. There's a problem." Eri finally managed to let out.

"A problem? What kind of problem?" Inuyasha asked.

"She's been shrunk." Eri told Inuyasha.

"Shrunk? Again?! Damn." Inuyasha said.

"What do you mean by 'again'?" Eri asked. The phone was silent for a few moments and Kagome's mother answered "I'm afraid Inuyasha has already left."

"Alright, thank you. Bye" Eri said as she hung up the phone. "Your mom said that guy is coming." Eri told Kagome.

"Okay. Hopefully he'll be able to find this place." Kagome explained.

"Are you still going to be wearing your gym clothes when he gets here?" Ayumi asked.

Kagome paused for a second and finally said "I guess I should change. But where?" Kagome asked.

Ayumi put her hand down next to the table for Kagome to climb on. Climbing onto her friend's hand, Kagome was waiting for Ayumi to say something. She felt extremely nervous at that moment. Not as nervous as she had been running around the hallway but still nervous. "I'll just put you on the bed and block anybody's view of you." Ayumi said.

Being placed on the bed, and with Ayumi grabbing a hold of Kagome's little school uniform, Kagome was placed on the nurse's bed. Ayumi then turned around to stare at the door while the other girls and the nurse were standing by the table discussing what they think happened to Kagome and who this Inuyasha was.

Kagome took a deep breath. She was going to have a lot of explaining to do later. But pressing matters came first. Inuyasha would be there soon. Knowing his speed, Kagome realized she should change as quickly as possible.

A quick change and Kagome was wearing her normal school uniform. Inuyasha would arrive in a few more minutes, and then the fun would begin in explaining who he was to her friends. Kagome sighed. This was turning into one of the strangest days of her life, and that was saying something.

Kagome's friends just waited for Inuyasha in the nurse's office. Later, they would use the excuse of being extremely concerned about Kagome's well-being as an excuse as to why they were late to their next class. After a little while, Yuka finally had enough, moved toward Kagome and asked "So who is this guy and why do you think he can help you, anyways?"

Kagome took a deep breath. "This guy knows a thing or two about magic." Kagome let out.

"You really didn't answer my question. And how did you know he would be at your house?" Yuka asked again.

"He's... kind of not human." Kagome said.

"Huh?" Yuka let out.

At that point, there was a knock at the window. It was Inuyasha, still at his normal size. Eri hurried and opened the window.

"Ah! He's got ears on the top of his head!" Eri let out in surprise.

"Yo." Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha, over here!" Kagome screamed out.

Hearing her immediately, Inuyasha turned toward Kagome. "Look at you. Probably about as big as Myouga." Inuyasha stated.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go." Kagome said.

"What? You're gonna go? But... where... and who are you?" Eri asked.

"Me? I'm Inuyasha. And I have an idea who can help Kagome." Inuyasha said.

"Can we come too?" Ayumi asked.

Inuyasha was startled by the question. "Eh... no. Sorry but to get to help, only me and Kagome can go." Inuyasha explained.

"And where is this help?" Yuka asked.

"On the other side of the magic well." Inuyasha said.

"Mag... what?" Eri let out in shock.

"I'll explain later. Promise." Kagome told her friends.

And with that, Inuyasha picked her up and took off. "So, Inuyasha, who do you think can help me?" Kagome asked.

"Kikyou..." Inuyasha answered.
