Kagome's Secret Revealed!

The half demon sniffed the air. Something's not right here. He sniffed again. It smells human… He quietly entered the house making sure not to disturb anyone. He sniffed the air and could sense the smell coming from upstairs. Making sure not to wake anyone he tiptoed up stairs and walked down the hall. The smell was coming from Sota's room. A soft growl exited his throat. If the intruder had hurt Sota he would kill him. He turned the knob and slowly. What he saw horrified him. He saw a young man examining a sword and standing over Sota. Inuyasha let out a loud yell and jumped at him pinning the young man to the floor. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Sota slowly woke up and stared at Inuyasha. He yawned and blinked a few times while Inuyasha was struggling to keep Kazuki pinned to the ground. "What's going on?"

"Don't worry kid. I got him. He was trying to kill you." Inuyasha placed his hands on Kazuki's neck slightly digging his claws into him. Trickles of crimsons began to drip down his neck. "Now…why are you here…" Sota stood there not being able to say a word as Kazuki struggled to breath. Kagome was awoken by the racket and immediately ran into the room. She saw the small pools of blood on the floor and became wide-eyed with fear. She would have said sit boy but she was too afraid that the impact would injure Kazuki further. She did the only thing she could think of---she slapped him. Inuyasha jumped back off of him and held his cheek in disbelief. "You---You slapped me!"

"Well, if I would have said sit you would have crushed him! You're not turning full demon again are you!"

"Do I look like I'm full demon? Damn it I just saved your brother and this is the thanks I get!" Inuyasha rubbed his cheek trying to soothe it.

Kagome ran over to Kazuki and kneel over. She placed his head on her lap and studied his neck. "Good, you didn't hit anything vital. Sota, go get some bandages!" Sota ran out of the room to go retrieve the first aid kit. Meanwhile Inuyasha sat in his usual position glaring at Kagome. "What caused you to attack him?"

"Um, maybe because he was about to use this." Inuyasha held up the sword to Kagome's face. She grabbed it and studied it.

"You idiot, his father collects antique swords! He brought it to school today and showed it off for history." Sota came back and handed the first aid kit to Kagome. She opened it up and took out the rubbing alcohol. She wetted a cotton ball with some and carefully rubbed it onto Kazuki's skin. He winced at the pain but let her finish. "Are you okay Kazuki? Please be okay."

Still in slight pain he opened up his eyes and looked at Kagome. "Yay…I'll be all right. One question…" He stood up and his eyes traveled from Kagome to Inuyasha. "What the hell is going on?"

Kagome became nervous. "Well you see this is uh…uh…a person, whom I know…he uh…is our other neighbor!"

"Feh, ya right. I don't think the kid is that dumb."

"Ya, what cat boy said." Kazuki rolled his eyes and winced. Kagome remembered about his wounds and applied bandaged to his neck trying not to hurt him.

"Cat boy? Cat boy! I happen to be dog demon for your information!" Inuyasha covered his mouth and fell over. 'Great job…'

"Demons? Wait…can I touch…" He quickly jumped up and squeezed Inuyasha hears a few times. Inuyasha grabbed his wrists making him let go. Kazuki scooted towards the nightstand and leaned against it. "So Kagome, do tell all. I'm dying to hear what kind of disease you can cover this up with!"

So Kagome spilled her guts. She told him all about her adventures back to Feudal Japan and other odds and ends. When she finished Kazuki stared at her blankly. He stared at Kagome, then Inuyasha, then Kagome, then again at Inuyasha. He squeezed Inuyasha's ear. "Yes, I do say they're real."

"Knock it off! Can I please hurt him?" Inuyasha was about ready to attack him but soon stopped when Kagome started to say the S word. "Feh." He got back in his sitting position and stared out the window. "Now what?"

Kagome thought for moment. She couldn't just leave him alone. If she were to do that then her secret would be out and she'd be off in a nice little white van with bars on the windows and padding on the walls. 'Maybe he won't tell…and when that happens I might win an Oscar…"

"You know…jumping down a well and ending up in Feudal Japan has always been a dream of mine…take me with you and I'll keep my lips sealed." Kazuki smirked and stood up stretching. "Heck, let's go right now. Let me just go get my things…" Kazuki started walking out of the room when Inuyasha jumped in his way.

"No way is this kid coming with us! I already have to baby-sit as it is!"

"Inuyasha! Be quiet Sota's trying to sleep!" Kagome covered her mouth and glanced at Sota. He rolled over and began to snore softly. She brought her attention back towards the door. "I really don't think you should be going…Kazuki? Where'd he go?" Where Kazuki once stood was a vacant spot. 'Great…he must have left already.' "Inuyasha, wait outside while I get dressed and packed. Don't even think about going after him!" When Kagome finished both her and Inuyasha headed outside and saw Kazuki at the well house. He waved and slid his own red backpack over his shoulder. "You couldn't wait until morning? Oh, and I left a note for Mom explaining where we are. She'll think of something to tell your mother."

"Great! Anyways, how does this work? Do we just jump down or is there an incantation…or maybe a ritual…"

"Do you got your jewel shard?" Kagome asked.

He pulled it out from his shirt and looked at it. "Yes'm. We need these to go down?"

Inuyasha stared angrily at Kazuki. "Why does he have a piece? Feh, never mind. Let's just get going."

"All right! Me first!" Kazuki jumped into the well and a red aura could be seen coming from the well. Inuyasha took hold of Kagome and they jumped after him.

They landed softly and Inuyasha only saw Kagome. He sniffed the air. "I smell him but I don't see him."

"Ugh, if you both don't get off of me then I'll take hold of your pants and we'll be seeing plenty of you dog boy!" Kagome and Inuyasha started climbing out of the well and Kazuki climbed after them. All three of them jumped out and looked at their new surroundings. There were fewer trees then Inuyasha could remember and they could hear voices close by. Kazuki stopped and frowned. "No way is this Feudal Japan. Where the fu…heck are all the trees?"

"Inuyasha, I don't think this is Feudal Japan."

"Then where the hell are we?"

Next time on Inuyasha! The trio doesn't seem to recognize any of their new surroundings. It appears that they are in Tokyo but from a different time Era. They meet up with…well if I told you it would ruin the surprise! (Not that you haven't guessed it yet…) Next time Stuck in the Meiji Era! See you soon.
