Oi! OH, my god! I'm so sorry! I tried to update sooner, but i couldn't! First was the camping last weekend and i didn't get home till Monday, then the Smokey Moutains trip which i left at 4 in the morning on Tuesday, then as soon as we got home from that on Friday i had to go back out to the camp ground to work! And i got sun burnt so bad i've got blisters on my shoulders and face. -groan- At least i can still type. And i finally got that tan i've been needing! Eh heh... Yeah, well, i hope you guys aren't mad. It's hard with all this stuff going on. Plus my boyfriend wants me to come out to the camp ground every weekend now! He's getting touchy about no being able to spend time together. Boys. So, -bows- forgive me. Here's that long wanted chapter and you have to read it! Very important! I DON'T OWN INUYASHA! Read and enjoy!)
Reincarnated School Dreams
Chapter 5: Secrets
"How about this? It looks-" InuYasha stopped talking with a cough and held a folder up to me. I giggled and took it. Oda Nobunaga…
"Nah. I heard someone else talking about doing him." Me and InuYasha were sorting through scrolls in the hut next to the well house. Gramps said we might find something for our project. InuYasha rubbed his nose and tossed the paper into the pile behind us.
"We need to find one soon…"
"Not really. We have more then half a school year to go through!" He shrugged his shoulders and picked up another paper. I lifted up another stack and spotted a box behind a shelf. I crawled over and tried to pull it to InuYasha, but it wouldn't budge. I heard him chuckle behind me and he came up next to me, lifting it up easily. Man… He doesn't look like it, but he's super strong. Hmmm… I wonder what his arms feel like. Ah! What am I thinking! He's my best guy friend! Well, he set it down next to me and plopped down across.
"I wonder what in here. If you have trouble lifting it it's got to have a lot of stuff in it," he said lifting the lid. I don't know if that was an insult or a complement… Oh, well.
"I have no idea," I said and looked inside. It was full of old journals and a few manila folders. I plucked a journal out and opened it up I had picked the right on cause the fist sentence it had written down it was 'This is my journey that you'll be reading about. My path through time to help my hanyou friend. Please protect the Shikon Jewel if you have it right now.' Shikon Jewel! What in the heck is that? Someone snatched the book from my hands and I glared at its capture. "InuYasha!" He just continued reading. I huffed and pulled out a folder. Just as I was about to open it InuYasha gasped. "What?" I asked, looking up.
"This girl! The one who wrote these diaries… Her name is Kagome Higurashi!" he said holding the book out to me. I snatched it away and scanned the pages until I hit the place where her name was. I gasped too. Her name really was Kagome Higurashi! Oh…My… "Kags!" I looked back at InuYasha and he held a picture out to me. I took it, but kept my eyes on him.
"How is it that she has the same name as me?"
"I have no idea, but you just might want to look at the picture." I looked at and almost fainted. It was a picture of a girl that looked exactly like me and a small boy with sandy hair and a tail! A tail! How can a boy have a tail! I let out a choked laugh and set the picture down.
"He has a tail…" I said slowly.
"Are you okay, Kags?" he asked laying a hand on my shoulder. I nodded my head and stuff the picture back into the folder. I shoved everything into InuYasha's hands and stood up.
"You can look through it all. I don't feel like it…" I said and smiled down at him, "But at least we found a subject!" He gave me a sad smile and nodded putting the book and folder back into the box. He picked it up, standing next to me, and nudged me out the door.
"If you don't feel like it now then come over to my house tomorrow and we'll go through some more of it. Hmm?" I nodded my head and closed the door. He looked like his hands were full. "And I'll have to get you something for finding my sister!"
"No, InuYasha! You don't have to get me anything! I told you a million times before and I'm not going to say it again. It's alright."
"I won't take no for an answer. Tomorrow after school! Don't forget." I sighed in defeat and lead him to the front steps.
"Whatever. And make sure to tell her me and Sango said hi, okay?"
"Yes, Ma-me!" he said.
"Kagome!" I turned around to see Gramps running up holding an ofuda. He slapped it onto the box and began chanting. I smacked a hand to my forehead and groaned. Like always….
"Gramps! What are you doing now!" Gramps gave me a glare and grunted with annoyance.
"I am putting a barrier around this box. It has precious things in it that must not be disturbed!" He pulled the box from InuYasha's arms and stumbled backwards from the weight. He fell to the ground and the box hit the ground spilling papers all over the ground. Me and InuYasha hurriedly started pick the paper up why'll Gramps yell in frustration. "No! How could this have happened!" he yelled throwing his other stack of ofudas to the ground.
"You're the one who dropped them all, Gramps! Help us pick them up!" I yelled over me shoulder. But he kept wailing.
"Grandmother! I'm sorry! I let your precious records get soiled! Please forgive me!" I heard InuYasha mumble something and he put the rest of the papers in the box. Gramps continued to sob as I walked with InuYasha down to the sidewalk.
"I'm really sorry about this," I said bowing my head slightly. InuYasha chuckled and just waved his hand.
"I'm kind of used to the old man now. Tomorrow after school! I'll have something ready for you," he said and shifted the box to one hand. I let out a short laugh and waved as he walked off. That's InuYasha for you. I guess I don't really know my best friend all that well…
"Kagome Higurashi!" I froze. Only one person called me my whole name like that…
"H-hi, Mama!" I said as I turned around to see her stomping over to me.She bent down and whispered in my ear.
"What did you do to make your grandfather cry? I have to know so I can try it later!" I burst out laughing and shook my head.
"I found some papers to use for my history project and Gramps didn't like it."
"Is that all? I thought you'd said something… Well, who was that handsome boy I just saw waving to you? Another boyfriend perhaps?"
"No, Mama! He's my best guy friend!"
"What about Miroku?"
"He's more of a perverted brother… Anyway, we're partners for the project."
"You'll have to invite him over again sometime. I'd like to meet him up close."
"Mama… Do I have to?"
"Yes! I brought you something back from America!"
"Really! Cool!" She led me inside and we went into daughter-mother-best-friends mode for the rest of the night.
"He's not here again!" Sango was about to rip here hair out in frustration. She turned around and landed a side punch on Miroku's face, sending him to the ground once again.
"Sango! It's all right!" I called trying to calm her down. She always got like this when one of her plans weren't working out…
"How are you supposed to get to his house after school if he's not here? Kags! This is a serious screw up on your plan for a good lay!" she yelled. What! A good lay! Ahh!
"What! You're trying to get me to do it with him! Sango!" I yelled blushed so deep I probably looked like a tomato. Miroku started laughing from his spot on the ground and Hojo just blushed. He wasn't the type to talk about sex… Yumi was skipping school today. Probably with Hutaru. Her most recent boy toy.
"You need it, Kags! You're getting stiff. You don't want to end up like your Mom do you!" I cringed. My mom got really worked up when it came to who I was dating. After Koga, she had to meet every boy I was friends or going out with. I sighed and took a bit out of the slice of pizza I held.
"I'm not going to do that. He's my friend and that's how we're going to stay until I feel like going to the next level! So don't bug me!"
"Fine! But once you lose you virginity you always need more. Kags, I know you aren't the type to fuck for fun, but if you're going to go any farther with InuYasha you're going to have to be a bit more forward with him," she said and sat down next to me. I nodded my head in agreement and finished off my pizza.
"Don't worry about it Kagster," Miroku said and gave me a hug from behind. "I can see what he thinks for you and get you a nice night alone with him. Hows that sound?" I smiled and nodded my head.
"That's be great, Miroku. But don't let him know any-"
"I know! I've done this plenty of times. Don't worry." He planted a kiss on the top of my head and looked over at the flustered Sango. I laughed when he gave her a bit more causal treatment then mine when it came to Sango. Just as she was about to slap him he grabbed her hands and pulled her into a kiss. Hojo just coughed and walked away. I sighed as I watched them make-out. Sometimes I did wish I had a boyfriend… Ha! What am I thinking? I picked up my stuff and left them to themselves. I hope Sango appreciates this.
I made my way down the sidewalk looking up at the houses and apartment complexes as I passed them. Those things looked like doll houses compared to InuYasha's house. I laughed and went up the side walk to his house. I'd come here quite a few times over the past few weeks and I was on friendly terms with Mrs. Takana and Sesshomaru. Rin was usually up for playing with me or busy helping her mom with things. It was cute how she wanted to help out around the house. As soon as I knocked on the door it flew open and Mrs. Takana came out and pulled me into a hug. She was sobbing.
"Mr-Mrs. Takana! What's wrong!" I asked patting her back.
"InuYasha's in the hospital again! And it's serious this time…! Please come with me Kagome…" she cried letting go of me. Oh, no! He's hurt again!
"Wh-what happened!"
"I'll tell you later. Please just come with me. You might be the only one who can help him." I nodded, tears beginning to form in my eyes, and followed her. The hospitl wasn't to far, but it seemed to take for ever to me. Inside a nurse greeted us and took us to a room. Sesshomaru and Rin were sitting in chairs across from the thick metal door. Sesshomaru was comforting Rin as she cried. The little girl looked up and rushed over to me.
"Auntie Kagome! Are you going to help big brother Inu!" she asked hugging my legs. I patted her head.
"Of course, Rin. Don't worry about big brother Inu." Mrs. Takana picked her up and pointed at the door.
"He's in there. Please don't be alarmed when you see him. He's… He's not himself…" I nodded and opened the door a little. I peeked in to be met by darkness. I opened the door all the way and stepped inside. The room was completely different from any hospital room I'd ever seen. There was barely anything even in there. Then I saw him… I felt like crying. InuYasha saw strapped down to the bed by metal arm cuffs on his writs and ankles. A thick leather strap held his middle down as he struggled against the bindings.
"I-Inu…Yasha…?" I whispered stepping up to the bed. He snarled and tried the thrash around. He wasn't the InuYasha I knew. He had jagged purple lines on his cheeks and his eyes were blood red. Icy blue pupils stared at me and I saw long claws on his hands. But the thing that caught my attention the most were the silver dog ears on his head. He looked like a savage beast. Wha-what was happening to him! I reached out and took his hand, but he tightened the grip. I yelped in pain as his claws dug into my wrist, but I couldn't pull away. Maybe he was trying to change back. I bit my lip so hard to stop myself from cry I could taste the blood as I pierced the skin. I kneeled next to his bed and put my hand over his. His grip instantly lessened and his finger entwined with mine. I looked up at him to see that his eyes were back to normal and the lines were gone, but his ears and claws remained. "Are you alright, InuYasha!" I cried throwing my arms around his neck.
"I'm fine, Kags…" he whispered.
"Don't lie to me! Best friends don't lie to each other!" I cried into his neck.
"I'm not lying…" he said weakly and fell limp in my arms. I gasped and looked down at him. I sighed in relief to see he was just asleep. I looked at those cute little ears on his head and giggled. Now he's my InuYasha… I kissed his forehead and sat down in the chair next to the bed. I looked at my wrist to see five deep cuts all along it. The deepest one had just missed my artery. I shivered to think what might have happened, but anything was worth having InuYasha back to normal.
"Kagome!" I looked back to see Mrs. Takana standing in the doorway. "Are you alright…?" I nodded my head and stood up.
"He's fine now… What's going on with him, Mrs. Takana!" I asked. She looked away and sighed.
"I'm not the one to tell you. Please let me see your wrist…" She took me to another room and dress me cuts, staying quiet the whole time. Just as I was about to leave she stopped me. "If you want to know come to our house after sundown. InuYasha will tell you everything then."
"O-okay… Will he be alright?" She gave me a weak smile and nodded her head.
"You don't have to worry." As I made the long walk home my head was overflowing with thoughts. Why was he like that…? Why did they have him strapped down to the bed like that? And why did he have dog ears! I'll just have to wait until sundown.
"Where are you going, Kagome?" Mom stopped me just as I was about to go out the door.
"To InuYasha's house, Mama."
"How long are you going to stay?"
"I'm not sure. Rin is going to want to play for sure, so… Maybe a few hours."
"Alright. Call me as soon as you get home!"
"Kay, Mama!" I ran out and headed for InuYasha's house. I'd thought over everything and I don't what might happen. If that's the real InuYasha then I'll gladly accept him for the way he is. He's my best friend and I won't ditch him because he looks different. Mrs. Takana answered door and smiled when she saw me.
"Kagome! He's up in his room." I smiled back and started up the stairs. Rin was down stairs with Sesshomaru by what I heard. I'm glad that they're alright. I stopped at his door and suddenly felt extremely nervous. What would he do now that I saw him that way? He obviously didn't want anyone to know… I took a deep breath and knocked firmly on the door.
"Come in…" was his reply. I opened the door and went in. It was pitch black inside and it took my eyes a few second to adjust even a little. "Just walk forward. You won't trip on anything," he said from somewhere. I did and saw his faint figure sitting in front of his window. The drapes were pulled closed so he was almost impossible to see. I reached out and he took my hand, pulling me closer.
"InuYasha? Your mom said-"
"I know. We're best friends, right?"
"Of course!"
"And you said that best friends don't lie to each other…?"
"But your secret's okay! I don't mind…!" I said trying to look at his face.
"And you don't care? That I look the way I did?"
"No…! I don't care how you look! You're still my best friend no matter what!" He pulled me into an embrace and nuzzled my neck. My breath caught in my throat. As he did that I could have fainted.
"I'm glad you're my friend, Kags… I love you…" he whispered into my ear. That did it! I started crying! "Kags? What wrong!"
"Nothing… I'm just happy you're alright…!" He let go and pulled the drapes open. The bright moonlight blinded me for a few seconds, but I blinked a few times and saw InuYasha. I almost squealed with delight at how his ears twitched! They were so cute! That was really the only thing different about the way he looked. He laughed at how I was staring at them and twitched them again.
"You want to touch them?" he asked. I blushed, but nodded my head. I reached up and touched one of the fuzzy triangles, but it stiffened as soon as I did touch it. I rubbed the base of his ear until it relaxed and I heard him growl softly. I smiled and gave the other ear the same treatment. He gave me another growl in agreement and leaned towards me. I giggled and he pulled away. He looked drunk! Did it feel that good?
"InuYasha?" I asked quietly.
"Yea?"
"Why do you look like this?" He sighed and leaned back against the window. The cute little smile gone from his face.
"I'm half demon, Kags. I get the ears and stuff at night cause I can't control my blood at those times."
"So that's why you had to be home by then. But what about in the hospital?" He visibly stiffened and gritted his teeth.
"I was a full demon… My demon blood sometimes becomes to powerful for me even during the dayand I turn into that thing you saw. I feel like I'm trapped inside… Its pitch black and I can't see anything! It's scary…" I never thought I'd here InuYasha say something was scary… It must be terrifying! "It scares my mom too because I try to get out… So I hurt myself without even knowing it. I just… I have to get out of that place and the only way is to make my own way out!" He slammed his fist into the wall with a growl making me flinch. He was silent for a few minutes and then looked up at me.
"D-did I scare you…?" he asked leaning forward.
"No! No… I'm sorry, InuYasha!" I hugged him and began to cry. I didn't know why, but I just had to cry. Maybe it was for him or for his family. Heck I could have been cry because for myself! All I knew was that I had to cry. I needed InuYasha to comfort me.
"It's okay, Kags…" he whispered rubbing my back. I think I just took our friendship to the next level. We were closer now then I'd ever been to Miroku. And it felt right… Like we were meant to be this way. I sighed into his shoulder and heard him laugh. I pulled away with a confused look on my face.
"What?"
"Shh! It's Sesshomaru! He's on the phone…" I tried to listen, but everything was quiet.
"What are you talking about, InuYasha?"
"Sorry. I forgot you can't hear him. He's talking to his friend. Can you guess what they're talking about?" I shook my head and he laughed again. "He saying something about some girl who gave him a blow job at lunch! Ha, ha, ha!" He started cracking up as I blushed madly. Was that really Sesshomaru!
"Really! You're kidding aren't you!" I almost yelled. He put a hand over my mouth and pulled me down into his lap.
"Shh! He'll hear you!" he hissed in my ear. Soon after he said that a yell came from down stairs.
"InuYasha! You are so dead!"
"Shit!" he yelled and ran to the door. Just as he reached for the doorknob it flew open and a madder then hell Sesshomaru stood in the door way. He looked at me and growled.
"Where is he!" I shrugged my shoulders and saw InuYasha slipping out behind him. I giggled and Sesshomaru turned around to see him slip around the corner. "InuYasha!" He ran after him and a loud crash came from down stairs.
"Boys! What have I told you about fighting in the house! Take it outside!" Mrs. Takana yelled.
"Sure, Mom!" Sesshomaru yelled and InuYasha yelled out a string of curses. I started laughing so hard my side hurt as I went down stairs to watch them. Maybe the next level wasn't a bad thing.
