Across Time Part 13
I'm back everyone, I went to a winter carnival last weekend if you want to see pictures, I'm in a few for all
the people who ask about my picture, they are at my website in the Me Page that I recently made. Ooh AT is now
over 30k words long. Yay!

-Ryguy5387- *shrugs* I needed something to put at the end ;)
-I am Sango- Wow that much? We have two Japanese exchange students at my school I should ask..
-inudog- Well it says in this chapter but he looked like a Tengu, search for it on yahoo.com
-Radire- Yep, I do have an ending play though it was only recently that I thought of it. I'm glad though as
I don't like writing a story if I don't have a beginning and an end.
-Sashi- Just so you know Inu didn't invest, he wasn't listening. :P
-KagomeFan- No lemons. Lime... well it depends on what you define as lime. There is going to be one scene but
its not going to be anything big really and its not going to be where the two are mad with lust and something
makes them stop from going all of the way.
-Inu-babe666- I'll try and read one or two after I post this. Remind me next time if I don't.
-Sango13- Let me educate you on the wonders of my name :D. SvF was a gaming group called Shadow Viper Fleet,
BD stood for Black Dagger squadron, the subgroup I was in and 02 was my rank (01 was the best). Wedge is just
the name I chose.
-Master Ghaleon- It is autumn, early November to be exact.
-fuma-the-dragon-of-earth- I'm afraid you've lost me. Could you be more clear what forest thing you are talking
about? I don't recall one in the last chapter...

A few moments later Shippo reentered his abode with a very self satisfied smirk on his face. "Well. that
takes care of that." he said as he returned to his seat. "Do you think that was a good idea? What if they call
the police?" Asked Kagome, who had watched the whole thing by peaking through the blinds of one of the many
windows. Shippo gave a chuckle. "Trust me they won't. What can they say? That their friend is in a house that
is haunted by a Tengu?" Kagome pondered over that for a moment, they were Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi after all...
Meanwhile, Inuyasha, who didn't look all too pleased at the events that had just taken place, sat down on the
small part of the table that wasn't dominated by books and work, pulling the seemingly always present tea pot
and cups out of the mess where he could reach them.
"Inuyasha, don't you drink anything other than tea?" Kagome asked, sitting next to Inuyasha, seeing that
there was no space for he anywhere else, and setting down her bag next to her. Inuyasha looked down at his cup
and shrugged. "Water." he replied, wondering if perhaps she did not like his tea. Shippo sighed as he closed
one of his books and opened another. "Inuyasha's stuck in his ways. He's been drinking it for years, chances
are he'll be drinking it for the rest of his life." Kagome shrugged, deciding the boy was probably right, and
then looked down (well more like up) at the mountain of books that Shippo had piled around him. "Oh that reminds
me Shippo." Kagome said, snapping her fingers. Shippo looked up from his reading. "What?" he asked. "Um, do you
think you could help me with some of my math homework? I don't understand what to do.." she said in an embarrassed
tone, rubbing the back of her head as she did.
Shippo grinned. "Sure Kagome! I'd be happy to help." Then a cunning look appeared in his eyes. "In fact,
why don't you stay for dinner and I'll help you afterwards?" he asked sweetly. Kagome smiled. "All right, it's a
deal. What are you having?" Shippo's grin widened. "You'll have to ask Inuyasha." He replied. Kagome turned her
head to the hanyou, who was giving Shippo a death glare for two reasons. The first was for doing this to him.
And the second, and more important in his mind, for inviting Kagome to dinner when that was his job! "Ask
Inuyasha?" Kagome asked in confusion. Shippo simply nodded. "Why? Is he going to order take out?"
**************************************************************************************************************
"Are you sure he doesn't need any help?" Kagome whispered to Shippo as they listened to a mixture of
swearing and the sound of pots and pans clanging. Shippo shook his head as he picked up the last of the books
he had been using off of the table to take them into his room. "Nah, don't worry about it. Its just the way he
does things I guess. His food can sometimes be really good but its always edible." It occurred to Kagome that this
was coming from a college student who ate at a college cafeteria, but she decided not to bring that fact up.
"So you wouldn't happen to know what he's going to cook do you?" Kagome asked conversationally after a
particularly loud series of not so nice words from the nearby kitchen rang out to where they were sitting.
Shippo closed his eyes and inhaled. "It smells like some kind of Domburi. Either that or he's cooking
Gyoza." Kagome blinked in surprise. "Wow, you can really tell what he's making like that?" Shippo opened an
eye and grinned. "Nope, but those are the things he usually makes when he has to cook dinner. The things he
cooks best at least. I can't tell exactly what he's cooking when he does but I can smell smoke after all!"
Kagome gave a polite burst of laughter, not quite sure whether he was joking or not. Regardless, Kagome
shifted slightly in her chair to give her a better view of the portion of the kitchen that she could see, just
to make sure that she could spot any smoke that might appear.
They passed the time waiting by chatting about a variety of subjects, including Shippo's opinion on
college (if anyone could give a good analysis it would be him after all). After around twenty minutes, Inuyasha
finally ended his war with the stove and brought out their dinner. Kagome resisted the urge to smile while Shippo
went to grab the plates and silverware. Was it just her or did one of Inuyasha's ears looked slightly singed?
After Inuyasha had grumpily set down the plates of Domburi and Gyoza, Kagome smiled at the fact that Shippo's
prediction had come true. "What?" Inuyasha asked suspiciously. "Oh nothing. It looks wonderful by the way."
Kagome replied.
"Keh." was all that Inuyasha, who looked a little pleased at the comment despite his response, said.
"Here we go." said Shippo as he carried out a stack of plates, silverware, and chopsticks and passed them out.
Inuyasha, of course, took a pair of chopsticks while the other two preferred the more westernized version of
utensils. Shippo immediately dug in once he had passed the plates, but Inuyasha waited quietly as Kagome took
a tentative bite from one of her Gyoza. Her face lit up immediately. "Wow Inuyasha, this is really good." Kagome
commented. "Yeah, this is a lot better than yesterday." added Shippo, who then smirked. "I wonder why?"
Normally, Shippo would have gotten some kind of physical reprimand but Inuyasha was in a good mood from
Kagome's praise and didn't catch the jab. Kagome took a sip of her hesitantly accepted tea to hide the slight
blush on her face.
The rest of the meal passed uneventfully, and once the dishes were cleared away Kagome took out her
math book, paper, and a pencil. Having nothing better to do (after all few things were better from Inuyasha's
point of view than any excuse to be near the young miko) Inuyasha lounged around near Shippo and Kagome while
they worked. "Oh, I see what your doing wrong. Sine is opposite dived by hypotenuse not the adjacent leg.
Remember Sine is Opposite over Hypotenuse, Cosine is Adjacent over Hypotenuse, and Tangent is Opposite over
Adjacent. SOHCAHTOA. Some other house can always top our abode is how I remember it." Kagome nodded and wrote
down the acronym on a piece of scrap paper. "Thank you Shippo, I'll remember that." Kagome glanced back at
Inuyasha, who was watching the two of with a mixture of bordom and envy. "Interested Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha gave a snort. "Why would I be? Stuff like that is all useless anyways." Shippo groaned. 'Here
they go again.'
*************************************************************************************************************
The next day in gym it was clear that the team of non-superstar atheletes was being dominated again.
It was only half way through the first game and the score was already 5-0. Suddenly, a cheer erupted from the
bleachers. Make that 6-0. Inuyasha leaned against the gym wall closest to the bleachers as he boredly watched
the massacre. The disinheartened 'losers' teams kicked the ball into play and almost immediately lost it to
one of the more skilled players of the others team. He then passed the ball to a rather burly looking high
schooler who then unleashed all of his might on the ball with a kick. The ball hurled through the air and
collided with the unfortunate goalie's face. The poor boy was knocked backwards and went down rather hard.
A collective wince and sound of sympathy rippled through the gym as Inuyasha made his way over to the
kid, now sitting up and clutching his face. "Oi, you all right?" he asked in a not so concerned tone. "Yeah,
I'm not bleeding. Is it all right if I sit out the rest of the period sir?" Inuyasha shrugged. "Go ahead."
"Now we're one person short!" exclaimed one of the boys as the injured goalie made his way to the bleachers
where he received the concerned attentions of several of the female classmembers. And then someone got a very
'bright' idea. "Hey Mr. Shiro! Will you be goalie for their team?" asked one of the students.
A cheer of approval erupted from the bleachers as well as a few supporting comments from several
of the girls, including one of Kagome's annoying friends. And so it came to pass that moments later Mr. Naya
Shiro stood in front of the makeshift goal with his arms folded and looking none to pleased, but what else is
new? The other team threw it in from mid court and the game began again. The ball was passed back and forth
and for a while it looked like Inuyasha's team, bolstered in morale with his arrival, might actually score,
but it was not to be. As one of the boys started to close in on the other team's goal, the annoying boy,
Heiji was his real name Inuyasha had found out later, who had called out two names during role the first day
managed to steal it and began a unchallenged run down the court. Heiji had an evil grin on his face, clearly
wanting a bit of revenge, but Inuyasha was unimpressed.
Once in range the boy faked a kick to the right before sending it sailing towards Inuyasha's left
with impressive speed for a human, but Inuyasha wasn't human. Effortlessly, the hanyou shot up his left hand
and caught the ball before it could pass him. A mixture of a gasp and cheer erupted from the female dominated
bleachers. Inuyasha thought he even saw Kagome watching him with an impressed look on her face from behind
several girls who had stood up. That or she was holding her in one of her hands and shaking it in disapproval.
Inuyasha decided he liked the first choice better. Inuyasha gave the boy a mocking smirk before throwing the
ball down court where it accidently bounced off one of the stunned players and rolled unmolested into the
goal. Score 6-1.
Minutes passed and slowly, with Inuyasha's help, the losing team started to catch up. The game was
taking the entire class hour up but noone complained, especially not the girls. The final minutes were here
and the score had been tied 6-6. While the other team indeed better players, they were now far more exhausted
after repeatedly trying to score past Inuyasha's undefeatable defense. The last minute was reached and still
no change in the score had occurred. Then the opposing team captured the ball and everyone but the goalie made
a desperate last run towards Inuyasha's impenetrable goal. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes. They were planning
something, but what? Heiji again had the ball as he made his way down the court. Inuyasha tensed himself to
beat down the scumbags shot, but something happened right before he kicked. One of the other team's players
standing close to him stumbled, running into Inuyasha and giving Heiji the chance he need. 'What the hell!?'
thought Inuyasha as he was pushed out of the way and the ball shot into the goal. Score 7-6. The bell then rang.
Inuyasha's team had lost, and Kagome was watching.
"Sorry Mr. Shiro." said the boy who had run into, who did not look very apologetic. A few boos and
comments on sportsmanship came from the bleachers but the other team cheered anyways. Inuyasha glowered at
the other team. They might of won today but there was tomorrow. Oh yes, tomorrow. But first...
As the class filtered out of the gym to the lockers with a mixture of grumbling and chatting, Kagome
walked up to Inuyasha, putting a hand on his shoulder when he began to move towards the locker room, probably
to bash some heads. "Don't let it get to you, they're always like that." Kagome said with a smile, moving her
hand once he had stopped. Inuyasha smirked. "Well I can be like that too." he replied before turning towards his
office and making a leasiurly stroll towards it, a somewhat disturbing smile on his face. Kagome gulped. 'What
is he planning?' she wondered as she started towards the girls locker room. "Don't kill anyone." Kagome called
in an only half joking manner.

Well that's that. And no Heiji isn't going to become the villian like Toshio in TFAC. He's just a foot note
really.
