Across Time part 10
Well exams are over and life returns to normal (that's why I haven't updated this week). I'm glad
people liked last chapter. If anyone is interested in the anime/manga Love Hina I wrote a oneshot for
it as well as this.

-KagomeResurrected -VVVVV
-Lunar Inuyasha- Ok, I don't like singling out reviewers. Quite simply its bad for business and it hurts
peoples feelings. But today I'm putting chivalry aside. I'll tell you right now that I am a little
insulted that the first two reviews for Trickery were complaints that I had yet to update AT and was
writing that instead. By the looks of it neither of you even READ the fic or if you did you didn't even
put any comments what so ever. If you had done that and then asked that I hurry up on AT I wouldn't mind
as much, but you didn't. Across Time isn't my life and it is not the only idea in my head. Just like when
I wrote Pretending and those two short fics during TFAC if I really like an idea its not going to leave
me be till I write it. In fact, I wrote the entire fic in one night thinking of my other fans because I
didn't want to make you guys have to wait much longer. So basically all you lost was a day. You're
welcome to ask for faster updates with AT reviews or even on a different fic that you've already read
and reviewed, but please don't complain on a brand new oneshot without even giving me any comments.
Ok enough ranting, yes KagomeResurrected Shippo's leaves have different clothing. Each one is unique.
-Ryguy5387-Ehehe, you certainly hit the mark on that comment :D
-lilemmy- You'll have to wait to see. But I certainly have something cooked up for it :D.
-jim hawking jr- At this point I don't know if Rin will make a cameo or not. Seshoumaru will eventually
and Rin will of course be mentioned, but I don't know if she'll be there.
-TheWraith1- Ehehe don't worry I've already taken note of that.
-TaiChiMaster8989- Nope haven't seen it. Something about Miroku's dangerous confession or something right?
I agree, Kagome honestly sounds like a ditz in the English version.
-The Authoress L- Well Inuyasha says in this chapter but he is 500 something. He just hasn't aged physically
like Shippo.
-Ho-Chi-Mihn-City- Ehehe I don't blame you any. In fact, there's a long joke between myself and a woman (who
is almost 21 while I am 17) similar to the one you describe.
-Kei- Right about Inuyasha pushing the gym teacher? Its going to be one of those mysteries for the reader
to spend sleepless nights wondering if he did or not. Its never going to be brought up or specified if he
did or not.
-eX Driver Liz- Ehehe unfortunately Hojo is in college (Kagome is a senior in High School)
-Shadow Wraith- ehe well considering how many years the manga has been running and how many times the seasons
change, Kagome should be well into her twenties if I were to be realistic :P.
-Airen2- Nope, shippo's the math genius in this one. Don't want it to be too close to TFAC.
-inuficcrzy- Lol how to explain this... Well I think it's a bit of a mixture of Monty Python and the search
for the Holy grail and Spaceballs. Its about a princess who is kidnaped by the evil ruler to the south and
a daring hero who has come to marry her goes to rescue her, after being thrown in the dungeon and escaping
using his magical power known as Fast Feet. Its really funny. You should recommend it to your drama teacher
-Radire- While I'm still working on the perfect brother to sister gift, all of Inuyasha's parts have been
designed

Inuyasha didn't know cafeteria lines could be this slow. It didn't help having to say hello to
every faculty member in the district. Finally, it was his turn and after introducing himself to the woman
he ordered tea, not particularly liking the smells coming from the food (though compared to what he was
smelling from the student line it wasn't all that bad). The woman returned after a moment and handed him
a Styrofoam cup full of tea. "There you go hun." she said with a wink. Inuyasha gave a nervous glance back
as he walked away while considering bringing his own tea from now on. He took a sip as he walked. But then
all people had there redeeming qualities. It was decent tea for a human. A little too much sugar though.
After being greeted by a few more people, Inuyasha managed to make his way to the center table
reserved for teachers on the far side of the building. From here, he could see the entire cafeteria, and
more importantly Kagome, who was sitting with her friends at one of the nearer tables. While Inuyasha
didn't know it, and probably didn't care to know, there was a unspoken tradition at the school.
The closest tables to the cafeteria line were reserved for Seniors, such as Kagome. The next group of
tables was reserved for Juniors and so on down the grades.
Speaking of Kagome, she was now heading his direction with the obvious intent of talking with him.
Strange how she moved so much faster than she had on Friday (Chapter 7). Inuyasha watched her and took a
few sips of his a bit too sweet tea as she came. In the background he could see her friends all watching
in anticipation. If they only knew.... "Hello Inuyasha." Kagome said in a sweet whisper once she arrived
in front of him. Inuyasha smirked. "Hello Kagome." he replied. "Would you like to tell me just WHY you are
here?" she asked, leaning a bit closer to him. Inuyasha's smirk grew wider. "You told me to get a job." he
replied. 'And getting to stay by you longer every day is just a bonus' he added mentally.
Kagome opened her mouth to respond, but a sharp voice cut her off. "Miss Higurashi you know that
students are not allowed at the teachers' tables during lunch. Please return to your own." Kagome jumped
slightly at the sound of her math teachers voice. "Yes Mr. Orumi, sorry sir." Kagome said with a slight
bow. He was a nice man, but a real stickler for rules and harsh to those who didn't follow them. Kagome
still remembered the time he made her stand in front of the class for yelling sit to keep Inuyasha from
being seen on the window ledge. Inuyasha watched her retreat, feeling a bit annoyed at the mans
interruption but at the same time amused as he realized fully that he was now Kagome's teacher. This was
going to be more fun that he thought.
*************************************************************************************************************
By the time Kagome entered the gymnasium a large number of the class was already there, mostly female
of course. By no means was it because she had spent a long time in the cafeteria, she was in fact quite early in
hopes of being able to speak to Inuyasha, of course it seemed she wasn't the only one with that intention, though
for different reasons. Given the hype Inuyasha was getting, Kagome wouldn't have been surprised if some of the
more amorous students had camped out the entire lunch hour here. Kagome felt more than a bit of jealousy at all
of this, but she pushed it away. Be jealous later, save school from annihilation first.
It turned out that 'Mr. Shiro' was nowhere to be found. So Kagome waited and endured the many envious
looks she was getting. While she hadn't been the only girl to approach Inuyasha, she had been the only one to get
more that a cold hello from him. Kagome toyed with the idea of telling them she knew where he lived. Now that
might change a few attitudes. And if the good Mr. Shiro had a hoard of girls besieging his home all the better.
The time passed quickly and the five minute bell rung. The stragglers of the class drifted in soon enough
to change in the locker rooms until the whole class was present, just not their teacher. The bell rung again and
still no Mr. Shiro. A minute passed and then another. Quiet conversations began to turn into deafening ones as
the lack of authority continued. Kagome was nervously watching the clock while continuing to speak to her friends
as they pumped her for the very smallest bits of information she could give them on her brief encounter with the
dashing substitute teacher when Inuyasha boredly entered through the main door wearing his black shorts and white
shirt and carrying a red folder.
As soon as he entered the noise level in the room rose several levels. "Oi!" the hanyou called to the
class, getting no response. The girls were too busy discussing whether his best feature was his long black hair
or his slim yet powerful frame and the boys just ignored what they considered just another ordinary, powerless
sub. "Oi!" Inuyasha called louder, annoyance clear on his face as he glared at the students. Again there was no
silence. Kagome took a deep breath in case a quick sit might be necessary and watched the perturbed hanyou as
he clenched his fists. "SHUT THE HELL UP!!!" Inuyasha roared, stomping his foot onto the ground, causing the
entire building to shutter slightly (fortunately the tile did not crack under the beating).
Instantly, the gym grew quite as everyone turned in amazement towards their teacher. Inuyasha let his
glare slide from student to student and more than a few flinched. Unseen to the students, Inuyasha reached into
his pocket and removed a set of note cards which Shippo had handed him knowing that Inuyasha wasn't the greatest
orator in the world. Inuyasha had snorted at this, but had taken them anyways when Shippo had set them down.
Glancing down faster than any human could see, he began speaking. "My name is Naya Shiro. I will be your teacher
for the rest of this semester." Inuyasha stealthily switched the cards and made a face before continuing. "I look
forward to furthering your physical awareness and hope that we can enjoy our time together this year." 'Gods this
sounds like it should be in a book.' thought Inuyasha as he switched cards again. The next one, however, did not
pertain to introducing himself to the class so he stowed them back into his pocket.
He then opened the folder, which he hadn't looked at until five minutes ago except to see which class
Kagome was in. "It says you run for five minutes after the bell rings." He said pointing towards the book. "So
start running." There was an audible groan from the students as they began their trek around the gym. Unlike
with Mr. Takashi, none of the students fell behind from the others like many of the less dedicated students
usually did.
Kagome took this opportunity to approach the teacher turned hanyou, who was boredly looking to see what
to boss the kids to do next. "Excuse me Mr. Shiro." Kagome said, emphasizing his name. Inuyasha looked up,
clearly enjoying this whole situation. "Yes Miss Higurashi?" he asked, also emphasizing the name. Kagome lowered
her voice as the class passed by, many looking at her with various expressions. "Why in the world are you here!"
she hissed. "How in the world did you get this job? You told me you've never even been to school, so how in the
world are you going to teach in one? This is a disaster!" Inuyasha shrugged. "What have I done wrong?"
Kagome was at a loss for an answer. As of yet he HADN'T done anything wrong. But that still didn't mean
he could manage to do this, didn't it? "Now start running with the class before I have to send you to the
principal." said Inuyasha with a smirk, enjoying his new found power over the girl, perhaps a little too much
than was good for his health. With a look that clearly said this discussion wasn't over with, Kagome obediently
made her way back into the group of students where she was bombarded with a dozen questions at once.
The hanyou watched her for a moment. He wondered why in the world they made the girl's clothing so skimpy
for this class. Kagome's uniform was bad enough but these allowed the boys in the class to see a lot more than
he particularly liked. Not that he was minding the view but-. Inuyasha shook his head. Thoughts of those nature
weren't a good idea. They'd just make the longing worse.
Once five minutes were up, Inuyasha called them back together for role. "Aida Toshio." "Here!"
"Asai Ayumi." "Here!" "Bunya Mai" "Here Mr. Shiro!" Inuyasha ignored the girls too cheerful attitude and
continued. "Daishi Kanzaburo. " "Present!" "Deushi Heiji" "Here!" A soft snickering errupted through out the
class and Inuyasha looked up, recognizing the voice as the same as before. He spotted the boy, Heiji, Kanzaburo
or whatever his name really was standing behind a group of his friends near the back of the group. "You said two
names." said Inuyasha, annoyed. The boy, clearly surprised, simply shrugged.
Inuyasha gave the boy a glare and he returned it defiantly. A cruel smile formed on Inuyasha's lips. "I'll
have to mark them both absent then." he said. Several of the guys oooh'd and the boy muttered a few choice words
under his breath, which Inuyasha smugly ignored. He heard Kagome sigh from her spot to his right "Doi Yuka." "Here!"
The rest of role call was uneventful. "Yasui Eri." "Here!" "Yunokawa Hideki." Silence responded. Using the folder
Inuyasha checked off the name and read the next line of instructions. "It says here to have someone take it to the
office." Just about every girl and a few boys eager to get out of class raised their hand. Inuyasha's eyes settled
on Kagome, who did not have her hand up.
Their gazes met and Inuyasha raised the attendance sheet in Kagome's direction with full knowledge that his
lifespan was being shortened dramatically by his actions and still loving it. Kagome looked at the sheet and
hesitated. Whether she was reluctant to go because the office was on the far other side of the large school or
because she didn't want to leave Inuyasha alone with the class he didn't know. After a moment she sighed and came
over, took the sheet, and exited towards the office. The girls watched her go with a mixture of envy and pity. The
pity for getting on what they deemed Mr. Shiro's bad side so quickly and the envy for getting so much of his
attention without trying.
Inuyasha watched her go. It was true that his main goal in life at the moment was to court the annoyed girl,
though it was going a lot slower than he had hoped, but he couldn't help but harass her a little. It was just
natural to him though it had caused him plenty of problems in the past. Besides, he deserved a little vengeance for
her pushing him down the stairs Friday. Inuyasha glanced back at the folder after she left. "You all know what to do.
Find something to do." And with that he turned from the class to go into his office and toss the folder in, only to
find himself facing a wall of girls. Inuyasha did a double take. "How the hell did you-" "Hey Mr. Shiro how old are?"
asked one of the girls, cutting him off. A flurry of other questions followed. "How long have you been growing your
hair?" "What's your favorite food?" "Do you ever go to the movies?" "Are you single!?" The last question sent them
all into a fit a giggles. The last one stung a bit as he technically WAS single when he shouldn't be. Not knowing
to answer that question (and not particualarly wanting to answer it or any of the others either) he decided to
answer the first one. "I'm 581. Now go do what you're supposed to." he said gruffly before brushing past the girls
to let them chew on that for a while.
******************************************************************************************************************
Kagome made her way to the office and back to the gymnasium in record time. They were going to have a long
'talk' after school about this, though while she would never admit it to him she did find it a bit amusing. When
she returned, Kagome found the gym to still be intact. In fact, everything seemed to be working better than usual.
Mondays were free days in gym and she couldn't find a single person not doing something that related to the class.
"Wow, maybe Inuyasha CAN do this.' Kagome thought as she looked around. Her hopes were shattered when one boy
accidently missed a catch while playing basketball and the ball flew into the back of Inuyasha's head. Before Kagome
could even blink, Inuyasha turned around in a rage and threw the ball at lightning speed past the boy so that it
slammed into the wall with a loud crack, probably causing the poor thing to wet himself. Kagome shook her head.
'Or maybe this is going to be one long semester...'

So ends chapter 10 of AT. I'm happy to say I passed to 20k mark last chapter, my own personal standard for any fic
to be considered long enough to reading if its a multichapter. Hopefully my next update will not take so long.
Well exams are over and life returns to normal (that's why I haven't updated this week). I'm glad
people liked last chapter. If anyone is interested in the anime/manga Love Hina I wrote a oneshot for
it as well as this.
