Disclaimer: Um…do I still have to do this? I mean…jeez…I think everyone knows this!
Sorry about the delay everyone! It has been a long week…I am halfway curious to see what all comes out in this chapter too.
Inuyasha: Dammit! Are you telling us you don't even know?
Well I have a little written down…and I know where I am going…I always do it this way with this story.
Inuyasha: Great…this is just GREAT!
Now…be nice. I have author powers over you! I can kill you off in one sentence. You do realize that don't you
Inuyasha: You would never do that…no one would read it anymore.
Dammit…you're right.
Chapter 26
"Kouga!? Is that you?" Kagome fell to the ground next to her hanyou. "All along…my best friend's dad has been hitting on me! That is just wrong!" As the spell broke from Inuyasha, the hanyou dragged her to him, wrapping her in his arms tightly growling at the threat to him.
She knew from the hanyou's grasp on her, she wouldn't be moving anytime soon. Shocked as she was at the situation, she wasn't sure she wanted to leave the possessive grasp of her hanyou yet. Since Inuyasha had been unsealed, everything kept getting stranger and stranger. Nothing remained as she had known it before she fell down the well the year before. Kagome sighed, she felt as lost in this new world as Inuyasha; well maybe not THAT lost. Her hanyou still growled in her ear at his teacher. "You can't have her." He screamed at the threat in front of him.
Kouga walked past the pair, laughing hysterically. He closed the door to the classroom, giving them some needed privacy. "I have waited 500 years for this day, mutt face." He smirked, removing the concealing necklace from around his neck, revealing an only slightly older Kouga than they remembered. "Imagine my surprise to see the next time I came to the village to visit, my opponent had friggen pinned himself to a tree. I thought you were nuts to do that and had done it just to make me angry. I hadn't a fucking clue about what was going on, or should I say…had gone on."
Inuyasha still growled in Kagome's ear, baring his teeth at Kouga. "I told you to stay away from her until after the quest! You could have ruined everything."
"It's over, Inu-kurro. Isn't that the reason you are here? Stop that fucking growling at me, I am not stealing your women."
She felt Inuyasha flinch behind her, as she exhaled a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding. "Why the hell not?" Inuyasha demanded.
Kagome turned around to face the hanyou as Kouga laughed. "You want him to take me?" She yelled, making Kouga laugh even harder.
"Hell no, but why else would he be here?" Inuyasha glared at her, his golden eyes glittering with confusion.
"I am here, because I was chosen to be your teacher. Someone needs to help you get acclimated to this time period. Since I am already a teacher, not to mention someone who can put up with your piss poor attitude, I was chosen. Simple as that," he explained. "As for taking Kagome from you, my mate would kick me out without a cent if I even contemplated it. You had some good friends in that monk and taijiya; they protected you well when you were pinned to that tree. They knew I would spend the next 500 years planning how to get Kagome while you were still pinned to the tree. So they sat me down and began to weave these amazing stories, at first I thought that was all they were. Soon the stories began to make sense to me. I knew bits and pieces of them, not all of them, but some of them. I understood what they were trying to get through to me though; I wouldn't stand a chance against you in getting Kagome. Hell, by the end of the story I was cheering for the two of you to get together, why would I want to tear you up now?"
"W..what?" Inuyasha barely sputtered out in surprise. "What the hell are you talking about?"
Kouga laughed, "Not to mention I don't steal marked females from their mates. Back then, Kagome was fair game so I went after her. From the scent coming from that mark, I wonder if the rumors are true."
"What rumor?!" Inuyasha freaked, turning as red as a tomato.
"Come on, dog-breath. I'm supposed to teach you Sex Ed along with the rest of the curriculum, just like the rest of the kids. If the rumors about Kagome's mark are true…then I have a little time to prepare. If they aren't, then I am gonna beat the crap outta you before we start our little 'chat'."
Kagome gasped, burying her head in Inuyasha's chest in embarrassment. "First, my mom. Now, Kouga wants to talk with us? How humiliating!"
"No, Kagome. I just want to talk to Inuyasha. I believe you need to go to class." Kouga said quietly.
"Umm…I think maybe I should stay and observe today." She answered, standing up from Inuyasha's embrace.
"Kagome, I will be fine. I can handle the mangy fleabag on my own. You need to get to class." Inuyasha growled, glaring at Kouga.
Kagome looked at the staring contest happening in front of her. Apparently the conflict between the pair was far from over. Against her better judgment, she headed out the door, closing it tightly behind her. She knew Inuyasha could fend against the wolf demon without help, she only hoped no one got hurt. As soon as the door shut, she heard the growling and snarling as they attacked each other. She sighed, "Who thought putting Kouga as his teacher was a good idea?"
"That is what I thought too." A voice next to her said.
Kagome turned to find Yuka walking next to her. "You have no idea, Yuka. No idea. I can't believe I just left them, letting them have it out between each other like that."
"They will be fine; Dad has been waiting for his return for a long time. He used to always yell at my brothers, 'if you don't pay better attention to what you are doing. When Inuyasha gets back here, he will wipe the floor with you.' I think he's just glad to have his sparring partner back. It will be a good stress relief for both of them, I am sure."
"I still can't believe your dad is Kouga. I practically grew up with you, and your dad spent part of the last year informing me that I was his 'woman'." Kagome laughed as they walked to their math class together.
"I know, he finally told me the truth the day I came home griping about your new possessive boyfriend who had tried to kill someone who liked you. I was so scared about your relationship with this guy. Imagine my surprise when my dad told me it was HIM your new boyfriend was trying to kill." Yuka laughed thinking about her reaction to the news.
Kagome smiled, "I am just having a little trouble getting used to all of this. It isn't everyday you find out there are demons alive and well in your time."
"You can't tell anyone, Kagome. It is a secret that needs to be protected. You are one of a handful of humans who know of our existence, which needs to remain a secret. You can't mention this to Ayumi or Eri. You can introduce them to the real Inuyasha; just don't tell them about everyone else."
Kagome nodded, entering the classroom behind her friend. "When can I see the real you?"
Yuka stopped and smiled at her friend, "We will check on Dad and Inuyasha after class, make sure they didn't kill each other and that dad is actually teaching him what he needs to be. I can show you there. I would like that a lot."
The pair settled in their chairs, getting prepared for class. Both wondered what exactly was going on in the classroom down the hall from them at the moment. They would have to wait patiently to find out until after math was over.
Twenty minutes later, Kouga's classroom was ripped to pieces. Two old enemies sat on the floor on opposite sides of the room, smirking at each other. "That was a nice stress relief." Kouga said, getting to his feet. "I have needed that for a long time."
"What? You've needed me to come kick your ass? If I hadn't been pinned to a tree, I would have been happy to accommodate you long ago."
"Admit it, you feel better too." Kouga laughed, watching the hanyou stagger to his feet. "You were in desperate need of a stress relief as well. I can't even imagine the sexual frustration it would cause to mark a female and not mate with her; it pains me thinking about it."
Inuyasha snorted, turning red with embarrassment. He remembered the difficulty he had the night it had happened, he knew he would have taken her had he not fallen back into unconsciousness so quickly. "Yeah, I think nature kind of takes care of that for you when it happens. It fucking knocks you unconscious so you can't do anything."
"Hmm, so the rumor was true?" Kouga smirked at the hanyou, thrilled by the agitated reaction of him. "Figures it would happen this way. You would never do it yourself."
Inuyasha growled, "Why the fuck does everyone say that? First Shippo and now you? What the fuck do you know about my relationship with Kagome anyway? You were too busy trying to snatch her away from me."
"I told you, mutt face. Your friends were some amazing story tellers. I can't believe some of the shit you did and you still didn't realize you were in love with her. Hell, by the time I realized the story was about the two of you, I had been cheering for the two of you to get together."
"Keh, whatever." Inuyasha snorted, trying to ignore the rising blush in his cheeks.
"Alright Inu-kurro, I think we need to get to work today sometime. You want to live a normal life here with Kagome don't you? You have a lot to learn before you can do that. Where should we begin?"
"Kagome said there was a way to prevent getting your bitch with pups." He blurted out, with curiosity. His face turned as red as a cherry just as quickly as he realized what he had said. This was not something he particularly wanted to speak to Kouga about; maybe he should just ask Makoto later. Surely the lecher would know the answer.
"Getting right down to business, huh?" Kouga laughed, "Can't say I blame you, the inventions today are amazing. Anyway, come take a seat and take off your damn concealing spell. I am not used to seeing you in your human form. In this room, we both are safe from being detected; you just need to remember to put it back on if you leave the classroom. I was just kidding about starting with sex education, but it seems as good a place to start as any."
Inuyasha closed his eyes, wondering what the hell he had gotten himself into. He would be talking about sex with Kouga for god knows how long now. If that wasn't punishment enough, he wasn't sure what was. He sighed, removing the necklace and taking a seat in one of the chairs in the front of the classroom. Kouga grinned seeing him transform into his hanyou self, and dropped about three books on his desk. "What the hell is all of this?" Inuyasha growled.
"You want to know how to prevent pregnancy? First you have to know how and why bitches get pregnant in the first place. Turn to page 63 in that first book." Kouga demanded, watching the hanyou's reaction to the picture of the female reproductive system. Oh yeah, this is going to be hilarious, Kouga thought to himself as the hanyou turned white at the picture.
Kagome and Yuka were unable to sneak away from their friends until right before lunch. When they finally found a free moment, they rushed to the classroom to grab Inuyasha for lunch. Kagome ripped the door open and Yuka gasped from behind her. "Oh my, he really DOES have dog ears, doesn't he?" She raced over to the desk he was sitting at and reached for the appendages on top of his head.
He quickly maneuvered himself away from her grasp and leaped behind Kagome as she approached him too. "Don't touch my ears!" He screeched looking at the girl with her, realizing Kagome didn't mind her seeing him as a hanyou. "Who the hell is this girl?"
"You have met Yuka before, Inuyasha." She closed the door behind her before anyone could look in and see two demons sitting in a classroom together. "She's Kouga's daughter." She explained, reaching up to rub one of his ears. Inuyasha instinctively leaned into her touch, making her smile. She turned to Yuka and said, "Aren't they the cutest? I hate it when they are hidden away. Speaking of hidden; take your necklace off too. I want to see you as a demon. I hate that you all have to hide what you really are, it isn't fair."
Yuka complied with her friend's request, though it was strange for her. She had never revealed herself to anyone who was not a demon before, let alone her closest friend. Her dad nodded, agreeing with the young miko, she should reveal herself to her friend. The wolf demon's short brown hair turned bright red and her eyes turned the same shade of blue as her father's as she removed the necklace. Soon you could tell that Yuka was in fact a wolf demon, complete with pointed ears, fangs, claws and tail.
Kagome grinned, suddenly knowing who Kouga had accepted as his mate. "You finally agreed to be with Ayame, didn't you? Yuka, you look like your mother."
"Had to replenish the wolf tribe somehow; about a year after Inuyasha pinned himself to the tree I took Ayame as my mate." Kouga grinned, making Yuka groan.
"You didn't have to replenish it yourself. Do you know that I am the youngest of 73 siblings, Kagome? 73!!! My poor mother has children ranging in ages from 16 to almost 500 years. Imagine if I told anyone that, they would freak." Yuka whined, glaring at her father.
"I doubt you will be the youngest for long, Yuka. I am sure your mother is clamoring for more."
"Ugh, don't say that! The last thing we need is more siblings."
"Not following your own advice, huh." Inuyasha smirked.
"Of course I have. It has been sixteen years since our last one." Kouga grinned.
"Dad, what have you been teaching poor Inuyasha today?" She leaned over the desk to look at the books on top of there. She gasped, "Sex education! Why does he need to know that right now? I would think things like modern history would be more important! You know; World War II and space travel and things like that. Jeez, of course my dad would start with Sex Ed!"
"We just got to talking and this was what naturally came out of our conversation. In case you missed it your friend, Kagome here, is a marked female. Now don't you go thinking that because your friend is marked that means you can be too. If I even sense someone wanting to mark you, I will rip out their insides." Kouga sneered at his daughter before continuing. "Their situation is a little different; they had no choice but to mark. They were almost left without a choice. Naturally, Inuyasha had some questions on why it happened. We figured this would be a good place to start."
Inuyasha snorted at the wolf demon lying to his daughter, he was sure she could smell it too. She probably just didn't know what part of it he was lying about. He felt a pair of dainty hands rubbing his ears again, causing him to refocus on the girl standing with him. "Oi, what do you want?"
"Questions?" She smirked at him, shaking her head. She knew what 'questions' he had. She placed the concealing necklace around his neck again, watching him turn to his human appearance. "It is lunchtime, Inuyasha. Why don't you join Yuka and me for lunch out on the lawn?" She raised a brow, shaking her head, "Questions? Inuyasha, sit! I can't believe you."
Yuka looked on in amazement as the hanyou was thrown into the ground. He sure did know a startling number of curse words for someone face first into the ground. He growled as Kagome walked away from him. "Like you were going to answer them, Kagome." He growled from his place on the ground.
"You are probably right, but still." She opened the door, leaving an angry hanyou and two smirking wolf demons behind.
There we go…I hope that was entertaining enough. I am just grateful that I didn't have to retype or do spell check again after word froze up on me a little bit ago. I just wanted to get this out tonight.
Inuyasha: Are you telling me that KOUGA just gave me the facts of life?
Yep and it sounds like he is pretty experienced too. I mean he does have 73 children according to Yuka. All I can say is poor Ayame.
Inuyasha: I didn't want to know any of that! Hell, one innocent question and the damned wolf goes off on a tangent about things like ovaries and uteruses. I really didn't want to know all that.
But did you learn today? That is what is important. You learned what those ovaries and uteruses do…who cares if you wanted to know it or not.
