Mind of Another

Chapter 3: My name is Inuyasha

Kagura glanced from Kanna's mirror to a figure sitting in a corner of a dark room. "So Naraku, are you contented? The girl did what you'd plotted for her to do."

Naraku smiled. His scheme was working perfectly. That naïve girl, who was supposed to be Kikyou's reincarnation, was not as smart as the priestess after all. She had done exactly what Naraku'd intended her to do. And now, her life was going to change dramatically.

-----------------------------------------------

"Where the hell is she?" Inuyasha grunted impatiently as he ripped handfuls of grass from the ground and tossed them at the sleeping Shippo's head. Apparently, the little fox was a very sound sleeper.

Miroku yawned and shifted his weight a little before opening his eyes a little. The monk muttered something about Kagome coming back tomorrow before closing his eyes again.

"But she was supposed to be here today!" Inuyasha snapped at him. Miroku opened his eyes once again to give the hanyou a very tired look. Shippo stirred and started wiping the grass off his face and Inuyasha held back the temptation to torture the kid more.

"Maybe she got delayed…"

"Doing WHAT?" Inuyasha gaped and threw up his hands.

Miroku ignored his friend and remained in his sleeping stage. Snores began stirring, followed by a very loud grunt.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and stood up. He needed to find Kagome and drag her ass back here. Their journey could not be delayed any longer.

-----------------------

Kagome started digging through the pile of nail polish bottles. She heard a gasp over the phone.

"Hojo?"

"Hojo!"

"Are you frigin' serious! Hojo!"

"Yep!" Kagome grinned and bounced happily on her bed. "Hojo!"

"When!" Yuka demanded. Judging by her friend's tone, Kagome could tell that Yuka was just a little jealous.

Kagome switched the phone to her other ear because of her cramped neck. "Today at school" She responded with the smile glued on her face. Kagome loved her friend Yuka, but sometimes it's fun just to make her just a little envious.

"No dummy, I mean when are you guys going?" Yuka snapped.

"Oh, this Saturday!" Kagome replied as she began painting her fingernails with a color that looked brown in the nail polish bottle, but turned out to be a putrid shade of purple on her nails.

"Kagome that's great!" Came Eri's encouraging voice, but it was followed by a rebuke, "Don't be so jealous Yuka!"

"Yeah Yuka, chill out." Ayumi joined in.

"I'm not jealous!" Yuka said in a hesitant voice.

"Uh-huh." Eri was unconvinced.

"Look guys, I need some help. I've never been out with a guy like Hojo before!" Kagome wined and started coating the purple polish with a clear one.

"Ok, ok." Eri said. "Listen up Kagome. Number one: when a guy looks at your lips, it means he thinks you're sexy.Two-"

"Ugh!" Ayumi groaned. "That is so not Hojo."

"Yeah Eri," Kagome agreed and began blowing on her hands. "Hojo's a nice guy, not a perv."

"What are you blowing at?"

"My nails."

"Kagome," Eri said, "It's not like you have a lot of experience or anything."

"In what?" Kagome asked, thinking her friend was talking about her fingernails.

"Boys." Eri said in a frank tone.

"Oh, and you do?" Yuka huffed.

"Well, no…but I read!"

This conversation was getting a bit longer than it was supposed to be.

Kagome began cleaning up her nail-care kit. "Look guys, it's getting late and my dad's going to kill me if I don't get off the phone. You guys can help me tomorrow ok?"

"Whatever."

They all said their goodbyes and Kagome hang up the phone. She trotted over to her bed and changed into her pajamas. With her nails dried and painted to perfection, she held them up, admiring her work.

Somehow, she suddenly remembering that she had a history exam tomorrow by looking at her nails. Kagome yawned and picked up her clock and set the alarm to 6 am. She needed to wake up early to study. She was too tired to do anything now, but her tiredness was soon replaced by surprise when somebody jumped through the open window and into her room.

Taken by surprise, Kagome fell backwards and landed right on her butt. She opened her mouth to scream but was interrupted when her attacker threw up his hands and yelled "What the hell are you doing!"

Kagome, confused and hurt (mainly on her butt), scrambled up to her feet and ran over to the other side of the room, as far away from her attacker as possible and grabbed her umbrella. The invader lifted and eyebrow and took a step forward.

"Don't move any closer you freak!" Kagome shrieked and pointed her umbrella at the invader, who was taken back with a very puzzled look on his face. Kagome couldn't take her eyes off of her attacker. He was dressed in a very old fashioned manner and had silver hair that was longer than Kagome's, with dog ears on top of his head. The young girl looked at the odd boy's face. As strange as he looked, there was something familiar about him, but she couldn't remember what. She couldn't remember a lot of things these days.

The odd boy looked inquisitively around her room, and then looked back at her as if he was expecting something different. Finally he broke the silence. "Kagome, what the hell did you do to your room?"

Kagome stared at him. "H-how did you know my name?"

The boy lowered his brows. After a few moments he then folded his arms and scowled at her. "Look Kagome, if this is some kind of trick, it's not working. I'm not stupid you know!"

Now it was Kagome's turn to lower her brows. This guy was a freak! What did he mean 'what did you do to your room?' and why did he look like he was a character that came out of a movie?

"Y-you listen to me, get out of my house or I'll… I'll call the police!" she threatened in a trembling voice.

"The police…? I-" the boy was interrupted by a call downstairs.

"Kagome are you alright?" It was Mr. Higurashi.

Before Kagome could answer, the boy asked "Who was that?"

"My father!" Kagome blurted out. "And if you don't leave right now, he'll call the police!" Kagome swallowed and tightened the grip around her umbrella.

The boy stared hard. "Your father…?" he echoed in a baffled voice, "I though your father was dead."

Kagome breathed in quickly and snapped in an aggressive voice, "Look here you-"

"Kagome, are-you-alright?" Mr. Higurashi's concerned voice called again, and was soon followed by footsteps coming up the stairs. The bedroom door opened and Kagome's parents tumbled in. Both Mr. and Ms. Higurashi looked flabbergasted when they found their daughter encountering a silver-haired, doggy-eared guy. Mr. Higurashi ran over to his umbrella-holding daughter and both father and daughter continued stared at the odd boy in front of them.

The boy had a bewildered look on his face as well. It seemed like nobody in that room knew exactly what the hell was going on. His eyes shifted from Kagome to her father and back to Kagome again, looking at her as if asking her for an answer. Kagome simply stared back, not moving a muscle. Finally he scowled and spun around to jump out the window, leaving Kagome and her parents with their feet planted on the ground, staring like dummies.

---------------------

Inuyasha jumped across from rooftops to rooftops, trying to find somewhere where no one could see him, even at this time of night. He eventually came across a building that looked like it was in construction. He sat down on the hard stone rooftop, trying to make sense of what just happened.

Kagome acted like she didn't know who the hell he was. In fact, she seemed different. Even her room looked different. The room that once looked like a room that belonged to the caring and down to earth girl that he knew, now looked like it belonged to a distinctive teenage fan girl. It wasn't the Kagome he knew. Even the scent in her room was different. Instead of the natural fragrance that Inuyasha secretly loved, it now smelt of strong posh perfume.

But most importantly…who was that man that she claimed to be her father?

Inuyasha winced, thinking hard.

The father's scent was rather uncanny. It reminded Inuyasha of… a particular demon

The hanyou scowled. This was bad…

--------------

Kagome's jaw nearly dropped to the floor as she gawked at the silver-haired boy leaping from rooftop to rooftop like he was on wires. The scene was an eye-opener for her parents as well.

"Ok…" Mr. Higurashi muttered as soon as the leaping boy was out of sight, "That was the strangest thing I've ever encountered."

Kagome's eyes were still spellbound to the spot where the boy had disappeared off to.

Ms. Higurashi, eyes wide and mouth slightly opened, walked slowly to her daughter and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"It's alright…" Ms. Higurashi assured then quickly turned to look at her husband. "Should we call the police?"

Mr. Higurashi thought for a moment. "He was probably just some freak on wires trying to play a scam on us." He said, but he seemed like he was trying to convince himself that rather than his wife and daughter.

Kagome's eyes finally swung from the rooftops to her father. "How could he be on wires?" Kagome gapped, "There's nothing to hang the wires from!"

"Kagome, calm down!" Ms. Higurashi said and placed her other hand on her daughter's opposide shoulder.

Kagome's gaze left her mother's face and to the floor. She thought hard for a moment.

"He looked….he looked kind of…familiar…" she mumbled slowly.

Her parents glanced at each other. "Do you know him from school?" Mr. Higurashi questioned.

Kagome paused, and shook her head. "No…no, I think maybe I just saw him on the street or something." There was something about that boy. His eyes, those amber eyes were like a distant memory, trying to break through but couldn't.

Mr. and Ms. Higurashi looked from their daughter to each other again.

"On the street?" Mr. Higurashi echoed, "Well then, maybe I should call the police."

-------------------

A horrified look was plastered on Miroku's pretty face. Sango and Shippo's expressions were no less shocked.

"Well?" Inuyasha waited for his friends to answer. "Oh hell I knew I should have taken care of this myself! Say something damn it!" He finally snapped.

"How on earth could Kagome not remember you?" Sango grimaced.

"I don-"

"And what do you mean her father's back?" Miroku said in an instant.

"Well there was-"

"Was she-"

"Damn it will you just let me talk!" Inuyasha finally barked out of frustration.

Miroku, Sango and Shippo fell silent in an instant.

Inuyasha let out a long breath. He never thought he would lose Kagome like this.

"Kagome's aura seemed…different." Inuyasha said slowly. "She was still Kagome, but… just not the same girl." Miroku opened his mouth, Inuyasha gave him a look and the monk closed it again to let Inuyasha continue.

"Her father's aura was even weirder… it wasn't all human." Inuyasha winced.

"What do you mean his aura wasn't all human?" Miroku cut in, "Was he a demon in disguise?"

Inuyasha lowered his brows. He walked over to a rock and sat on it, his fingers tapping his knee as if he was deep in thought. His knee-tapping hand went to the hilt of the Tetsusaiga suddenly.

"He smelled like Naraku!" Inuyasha finally blurted out.

His friends' eyes popped open like daisies.

Inuyasha growled and stood up. "It took me a while to recognize it because it was mingled with a human scent."

The hanyou's eyes narrowed as his hands tightened around the hilt of his sword.

This round trip through time was making Inuyasha tired. He jumped up into the tree and climbed a few branches, making sure he was quiet. He eventually reached Kagome's window. Inuyasha peered through it and saw a sleeping figure on the bed.

Moonlight crept into the room, lightening the room just a little. Inuyasha could make out where the bed is. Kagome was sleeping with her back to the window. The hanyou stared. Soft and silky, her hair was positioned like the waves of the sea.

Kagome's aura might have been different but her beauty did not change.

Inuyasha's knees went suddenly went weak and lost his footing on the branch he was standing on. He tripped but held on to the tree just in time.

"Shit…" He scowled and pushed his private thoughts out of his head. This was no time to be admiring how well Kagome took care of her hair.

Inuyasha lightly hopped from the branch to the window ledge and carefully entered the room.

His eyes were still fixed on the sleeping beauty. The place was soundless, and he gradually heard soft snoring coming from the young girl. Inuyasha smirked. Wait till she woke up and Inuyasha'd tell her that she snored like a man!

After an instant Inuyasha's smirk slowly faded. It would have been funnier if she actually remembered who he was.

He let out a long breath and continued doing what he came here to do. Without disturbing the young girl, he carefully picked her up and carried her in his arms. Kagome moved a little and Inuyasha paused. He didn't want her to wake up.

To his astonishment, Kagome shifted a little, then rested her head on Inuyasha's shoulder. Inuyasha unintentionally smiled.

Through the window, he carried her out of her room and into the tree. He made his way down to the ground carefully, making sure that none of the branches touched her. He finally landed on the ground and began running to back to the well. The last thing he wanted was for Kagome's parents to see him running off with their sleeping daughter in his arms.

Kagome stirred a little more, but Inuyasha was too busy paying attention to what's around him rather than to the sleeping girl. And by the time she woke up from her slumber, it was too late for Inuyasha to do anything.

The girl's eyes popped open and gasped.

"YOU!"

Crap…

Kagome immediately tried to struggle out of Inuyasha's embrace but the hanyou held her tight.

"Relax! I'm not going to hurt you, you idiot!" Inuyasha barked.

"Let go of me!" Kagome barked back and began screamed her head off. "HELP!"

"Be quite!" Inuyasha admonished "you'll wake people up!"

"Well, that's kind of the idea!" Kagome shrieked resentfully and struggled even more, but Inuyasha wouldn't let her go.

They were almost at the well. Inuyasha wasn't going to give up when he had came this far.

"What do you want!" The girl in his arms was really terrified. Her eyes widened with fear whilst she screamed on top of her lungs.

Inuyasha hated seeing Kagome like this. "Look, I'm sorry ok! But you're going to have to trust me." He said as kicked open the shrine doors and without delay jumped into the well.

The girl gasped at the scene around her and stopped squirming around immediately. She was spellbound. Stars flew past them, time twirled and as Kagome gawked at the sight, they were five hundred years back in history.

As soon as Inuyasha came out of the well, he loosened his grip. The girl scrambled out of his arms and began running away as fast as her legs could carry her. It took her moments to realize that she didn't quite know where on earth she was running to. She paused and spun around.

"WHERE THE HECK DID YOU TAKE ME!" She screamed.

Inuyasha grunted and straightened himself. He then looked at Kagome.

"We need to get you some clothes. Those pink pajamas of yours don't suite this place." He said, totally ignoring her question.

"And where exactly is this place?" Kagome snapped.

Inuyasha stared blankly at her.

Kagome groaned slightly. Never in her life had she thought some silver-hairdo weirdo was going to kidnap her and take her to god knows where.

What the hell could he want with her? Oh goodness she only prayed that he wasn't some crazy rapist! He didn't really seem like one, but you'd never know. Kagome read about all those girls getting what they didn't deserve and then die…was it going to happen to her now?

Kagome swallowed. "Please…" she begged, "Please my parents will give you all the money you want!"

Inuyasha snorted. "What the hell do you expect me to do with money? Look I told you, I'm not going to do anything to you, so relax!"

Inuyasha walked away and ushered a finger at Kagome to follow her.

Kagome stood frozen to the spot.

Inuyasha scowled and scurried back to her and dragged her by the arm. Kagome stumbled after him unwillingly.

Kagome opened her mouth to speak. "Who are you?"

Inuyasha grunted.

When Kagome realized that he wasn't going to say anything, she opened her mouth again.

"It's just that… you look oddly familiar…"

Inuyasha stopped dead and spun around so fast he almost made Kagome fall back.

"Think." He ordered and knocked her head like it was a door. "Are you sure you don't know who I am?"

Kagome winced and shook her head.

Inuyasha scowled again. "My name is Inuyasha." He turned back around and continued dragging Kagome.

----------------------------

"Exactly when was your daughter kidnapped?" The detective took a big bite off the doughnut and gulped down his coffee.

Ms. Higurashi cringed as she watched the detective guzzle down his food like the son of a pig he was.

"Well… my son Souta woke me and my husband up around 5:30 am and told me he heard Kagome scream for help, and when we went to check on her, she wasn't in her room." Ms. Higurashi finished and took a small sip of her tea.

"Mmmm… and du tink dis guy wearin a sil'er wig took her?" he grumbled with food in his mouth.

"Yes." Ms. Higurashi cringed even more when doughnut crumbs fell all over on her clean carpet. "He also had dog ears."

The detective raised an eyebrow at her and stared. "Are there any other suspects?" he eventually asked.

"No…not that I can think of."

The detective cleared his throat and wiped food residue off his chin before he continued.

"Do you think you can describe this wig-wearing guy to a sketch artist?"

"Of course, Detective Taki." Ms. Higurashi replied.

"All right. Now." Detective Taki was at last finished with his doughnut. He leaned forward to rest his elbows on his knees, interlocking his fingers. "Are there any special motives this guy would have for kidnapping your daughter?"

Ms. Higurashi, relieved that Detective Taki was done guzzling like a pig, shook her head. "Earlier, after he first broke in to her room, my daughter said that he looked familiar and maybe she saw him on the street."

For a moment there, Ms. Higurashi almost thought the detective was smirking at her.

"So…a guy on the street sees your daughter, thinks she's cute and kidnaps her?"

Ms. Higurashi stiffened up in her chair. She pressed her lips together tightly and gave Detective Taki a concentrated look. "Perhaps…"

The detective chuckled. "No need to be offended Ms. Higurashi. I'm just telling you what might have happened." He paused to scratch his nose. "But it's going to take hell to find him if we don't get a good description of him from you."

Ms. Higurashi glanced at him in an almost fed up manner. "I don't think that's going to be so hard."

"And why not?" the detective returned her fed up glance.

Ms. Higurashi flashed him a fake smile. "Because the boy's eyes were amber, and there aren't a lot of people with amber eyes in Japan."

"Amber huh?" Detective Taki lifted his eyebrows. He thought for a moment and eventually said in a resentful manner, "They could have been color contacts."

Ms. Higurashi's smile faded.

This time, Detective Taki smirked for real. "Well." He stood up, making even more doughnut crumbs from his lap fall onto the carpet. "Contacts or no, I still suggest you describe him to our sketch artist. Shall we go now?"
