Chapter 1
She couldn't believe the nerve of that guy, calling her a that! She could stand 'stupid' or 'weak' or even 'useless', but that! How dare he call her that and then have the nerve to ask her why she had sat him! They hadn't even been fighting. Even Sango and Miroku had been confused as to her reaction, and worse yet was that Sango had said she should be flattered that InuYasha saw her as a that! What was wrong with feudal aged people?
She opened the door to the well house roughly and stalked across the courtyard unceremoniously, ripping open the porch door and stepping into the kitchen of her home. She didn't even realize it had been open slightly. She called out that she was home and received no response. Her family was just out. By the stairs, she saw her brother's book bag and paused. What was it doing there when it should have been at school with Souta? She shrugged it off. He had probably caught a cold and was sleeping upstairs and her mom had to be out getting medicine and her gramps was...somewhere., probably praying. It was more than likely. Dropping her overstuffed bag next to her brother's, she sighed and headed for the living room. Even if there were only soaps on, she felt like watching some tv.
Stretching widely, she entered the doorway of the room and her blood froze.
"I tell you there's no way I'm gonna go apologize for doing nothing wrong. Hell, I complimented the wench and she 'sat' me. She's the one who should be begging mercy."
"InuYasha," Miroku countered calmly, "Do you believe that perhaps in her time the term 'bitch' means more than a female dog? Is it not possible? She is from the future."
"Feh, like I could care," he snorted, "She wouldn't know a compliment if it bit her nose off!"
"It's been three days InuYasha," pleaded Shippo, "Kagome may never ever come back and it'll be all your fault and I'll never ever ever talk to you again!!!!"
"Really?"
"InuYasha," Sango cut in, "I know you miss Kagome and you feel bad about making her cry, but I know if you go and tell her you didn't mean to insult her, she'll come back."
"I ain't goin'"
"Please?"
"NO WAY IN HELL!"
InuYasha carefully poked his head out of the well. He hadn't considered that her time may have different meanings went with different words, not that he'd ever admit it. He'd talk this over with Kagome, see if that had been the problem, and fix the whole misunderstanding. There was noone in the well house, but he could hear voices outside and he didn't recognize them or their scents. That meant hide out until they left. He wouldn't be able to explain how he had gotten into the building without them seeing him. After close to half an hour, he decided they weren't leaving and he'd have to make a run for it. Grabbing the baseball cap Kagome had told him to wear in her time from a nail on the wall, he creaked open the door to see two men in blue shirts and strange hats talking. He ignored them until he caught a familiar name.
"...Kagome Higurashi, found them."
Found who?
"I hear she's traumatized. Barely spoken since she found 'em," said the shorter sympathetically, "I saw the scene, and man, I'm surprised she wasn't ill. The blood was everywhere, and the bodies were all mangled."
Blood? Bodies? What happened? Is Kagome alright? Why would she be traumatized over some body?
"Poor thing," sighed the first, "Wonder what'll happen to her. Therapy?"
The second nodded. "Most likely. At least she won't be going to a foster home. I hear she has an aunt from Kyoto who'll take care of her. Getting away from this shrine is probably best for her."
Away from the shrine!!! Oh kami, where was Kyoto? Why would she need to live with an aunt? Her family's fine, right?
"The blood was everywhere, and the bodies were all mangled."
"No, her family can't be..."
"Hey, kid!"
He hadn't realized he had moved out of the well house and into the courtyard. The men were watching him with wary expressions. His ears were covered, but his eyes, fangs and claws were all very visible, and he was giving his most dangerous glare.
"Kid, this is a crime scene. You're not allowed here!"
"Where is Kagome?" he demanded in a low growl.
"That's classified."
"Where is she?" he demanded louder, "Where's her family? Why aren't they here?"
"We can't pass that information around!"
"WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE!!"
The courtyard fell into silence as the two men looked back and forth from the other to him and his hand on Tessaiga.
"You InuYasha?"
"Who wants to know?"
"Miss. Higurashi left a note saying InuYasha would be visiting the shrine and was to be sent to her when he arrived."
"Yeah, so where is she?"
"Somewhere safe."
That wasn't going anywhere. "Where's her family?"
The taller man sighed. "They were murdered."
Don't kill me!! I accept flames, so tell me what you think, wheather you like it or not. R&R
