Reincarnation Chapter 9, an inuyasha fanfic

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, the crew, or Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru… drools

Okay. I am going to put this at the beginning of every chapter except the one after chapter two. I would call it chapter three, but I already have one. So the one with the notes on it is the one I won't put this on because… it's a bunch of notes! Don't assume that everything written here happens in every chapter. Because it doesn't Also, as my Algebra II teacher said last year, 'When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me." As she said 'ass', 'you', and 'me', she pointed to the words inside the word 'assume'. Assume. Cool huh? Learn something new everyday! Now, go tell your folks. Then, come back and read. Then R&R.

Italicized words means the person is thinking to themselves in their own heads or something needs to be emphasized.
'Words written in these' means the person is speaking to someone else in their heads. Confusing I know, but you'll know it when you see it.
"Words written in these" means… Do I really need to explain this one?

I do not know what the future is like. I am purely guessing so no harping, okay? I am also guessing on what Kaede looked like when she was young. I've only seen her when she was young one time and that's right after Kikyou seals Inuyasha to a tree and then died. I'm sorry if I'm wrong. Just try to be nice as you yell at me, okay? Also, just because it says y'all somewhere doesn't mean they are in Texas. I am in Texas and the word y'all is something I say all the time. 'Kay?

I am very sorry if I have misspelled anything in Japanese, like names or the words above. I know 'ou' makes a long o sound. Like Shippo should probably be Shippou since Kikyou and Kouga follow that rule. But, I did Kouga like that from the very beginning and Kikyou became a sudden habit. Everyone else I saw it first as I have spelled it. If I have defined anything wrong, please tell me. It's not considered a flame if I ask for it. I promise. And if I've misspelled anything in English and you catch it let me know. I am a real big spelling and grammar freak. It's… Never mind. Also, my friend helped me write this. So anything wrong or stupid is her fault. wink wink And the cursing. That's all hers too. With that being said…

"Are you sure you're feeling okay Sara?" Matt asked the next day at school. "I don't understand a word you're saying. You may be speaking English again, but I still don't understand." He and Sara were sitting in the cafeteria. Usually they'd be eating breakfast, waiting for Karen, Seth, and Kris to get there. But today, Sara was going on and on about how they lived before this time and how their friends were really demons and stuff. At first, she was speaking in Japanese. That startled Matt enough because he didn't even know she knew Japanese.

"I am fine Matt. Just listen. I know it sounds crazy, but we were reincarnated I tell ya! And Immanuel was there. And Sam and Kimberly. All of them!" Sara said, trying to get Matt to understand. "You were a monk and I was a demon exterminator-"

"Then why were we traveling with demons?" Matt asked, trying to trip her up.

"Not all demons were bad. Krystal was a demon cat. And Seth was a fox demon who traveled with us. Immanuel was a half demon, but Sam was a full demon. Both dog demon. Kris was a wolf demon, and Nathan was a half demon like Immanuel. Only, he wasn't part dog demon. He was several demons actually. Anyways, Kimberly was a priestess, and Kristen was too." Matt sighed and tuned her out, finally giving up on trying to change her mind. A few minutes later, Karen, Immanuel, Seth, and Kris joined them.

"It's weird. Kevin said I fainted, but I felt wide awake. And all these memories came rushing to me," Sara said, starting from the beginning for them. Matt rolled his eyes. "I'm serious! We were reincarnated!"

"I know," Karen said, biting into her pop tart. Sara and Matt stared at her. Everyone except Inuyasha stared at her. "Happened to me too. It will happen to all of us I think. Happened to Immanuel long time ago. First Sam, then Jacob, and then Immanuel remembered. He says we're waking up."

"I don't know about y'all, but I'm wide awake," Matt said.

"Shut up Houshi," Sara snapped. "See!" she exclaimed, her eyes popping open once she realized what she had said. "You were a monk with a wondering hand. Guess things didn't change too much. Houshi means monk! And I did that out of habit! That has to be some kind of proof."

"Well it's not," Matt said. He was starting to get annoyed at the little game. "You could have staged this. In fact, I think you're all in on it. And I don't like it by the way."

"Hey, I have no clue what they're talking about," Kris said, his hands up like someone had a gun at him. "Karen and Immanuel were talking about it all the way to school. She fainted, he changed. Went all demony or something. Sam even stopped by again. He slept at her house, Immanuel did." He seemed to be as confused as Matt.

"Same here," Seth added. "I don't want to be a demon. Especially if you kill demons for a living," he said to Sara. "I'd say go to the nurse, but she'd probably bring in specialists or call your parents or something."

"It's all true damn it!" Sara said as everyone got up to go to class. The five minute warning bell had rang, and it was time to head to their lockers to grab their English books before class started. "Urg! We better be lifting weights today or I'm going to use Nathan as target practice with something!"

"Watch out for Nathan," Immanuel warned. Everyone froze to look at him. He'd been silent so far. "I don't know if he's remembered yet or not. And if he has, he'll come after us. Kimberly too."

"What about Kimberly?" Kristen asked, joining them in the hall.

"Do you know anything about kitsunes?" Karen asked. Kristen shook her head. "I don't think you'll understand then. Has your sister been acting weird lately?"

"She always acts weird Karen. You know that," Kristen answered. "But yes, she has. She went to Academy yesterday and bought a bow and some arrows. She's never shot one before in her life, but when she went in the back yard to practice, she didn't miss a single target! And she has her hair all funky. You'll see it today. She wore it to school like that. I gotta go. See ya in orchestra Matt." The group continued on to their English class as the three minute warning bell rang.

"Kikyou knows," Immanuel said.

"Yes, and Nathan may too. This is getting worse." Sara nodded her head in agreement with Karen then. Seth, Matt, and Kris still thought they were crazy. Class began shortly after.

"Hey freak!" Nathan yelled across the gym. Immanuel and Sara were training again on the weights. Immanuel sighed, but continued with his weight lifting. Since he hadn't gone home last night he wanted to train extra today so Sam wouldn't have much of a reason to pick a fight. "Hey! I'm talkin' to you!" Nathan stood in front of Immanuel now, trying to get him to stand so they could fight. "You must have lied or cheated somehow. No one can lift three hundred pounds. Especially not someone as scrawny and little as you. You're too damn weak to lift three hundred pounds"

"Do you wish to check again?" Immanuel asked. "You put the pin on whatever you want. I'll keep my hands right here until you tell me to start lifting. Then I'll lift. If at anytime I can't lift and it's less than three hundred pounds, I'll admit that I cheated and stop lifting weights. If I can, then you leave me alone. And Sara. You leave both of us alone Naraku," Immanuel reasoned, throwing in his past life's name to see how he responded.

"Who in the hell is Naraku! Did you just insult me in another language you freak!" Nathan practically yelled. Immanuel sighed and shook his head. Nathan and three other guys walked behind him. "You can't say anything girl," he said, turning to Sara. "Not what we put the pin weight on or anything else." Sara nodded and they put the pin in a slot near the top. "Lift." Immanuel lifted with ease. "Stop." They removed the pin and placed it near the bottom. "Lift." Again, Immanuel lifted with no problem. "Stop." It was this time that they put it in the three hundred slot. But that wasn't all. One of the three guys that followed Nathan stood on the weights to see how much he could lift. "Lift," Nathan commanded with a smile. Doing as told, Immanuel lifted the weights with no difficulty. Nathan and Sara's mouths dropped open.

"How much can you lift altogether Immanuel?" Nathan asked, completely shocked.

"The most I've ever lifted was…" He paused to think about it. "I think I lifted five hundred and something once. I can't remember. Why?" he asked, setting the weights down slowly to turn around.

"Because he weighs two hundred and fifteen pounds," one of the guys answered, pointing to the guy that was standing on the weights. "You lift them so easily. You've never broken a sweat. You don't even close your eyes or strain. How?"

"He's told you that once before. You sure do have a short memory span," Sam said, shocking everyone. Even Immanuel. "And actually you can lift just below six hundred pounds. Anything over six hundred takes effort, and anything past six fifty is… never mind. So how are we doing today?" he asked politely, looking at everyone. Immanuel shook his head and started lifting weights again, knocking the guy off of them that had been standing on them. "Now that's not nice Immanuel. Go run track."

"No," Immanuel said. Sara looked at Immanuel, as did everyone else. "Look, I'm not doing anything you say. You tried to kill Kagome."

"You tried to kill Karen!" Sara yelled. The coaches from across the gym looked and then started walking over. "How…! Why…! What is your problem!" she shouted, leaping to her feet. She took steps toward him, raising her fist up and back as if she were going to punch him.

"Sara, not now. You'll get in trouble if you try that at school," Immanuel said.

"He almost hurt her. Doesn't that piss you off?" Sara demanded.

"You're awake?" Sam asked, one eyebrow slightly raised.

"Of course it makes me mad, but we're in school. There is a time and a place for everything. And fighting my older half-brother in the middle of gym class is not the time nor the place for this. Maybe later. When we have control of the situation. Right now, the coaches are in charge." Immanuel looked past Sara and Sam. They turned to see three coaches standing behind them: Coach Arnold, Coach Fisher, and Coach Hammond. "I am sorry for the disturbance," Immanuel apologized. "It will not happen again." He stood and walked toward the dressing rooms.

"Bazan! Where are you going?" Coach Arnold asked.

"The bell will be ringing very shortly," he answered as the bell rang. "Is it not time to get dressed?" The two male coaches nodded; Coach Hammond huffed.

"Sara Abell, what is the name of God is going on? If I am going to allow you to continue training and lifting weights with the boys' Athletics class, then you will not participate in such disturbances as we have seen today. Now go get dressed," Sara's coach said, her arms crossed across her chest.

"It wasn't my fault. I hardly said anything until-"

"I don't want to hear it. Get dressed, now." Sara stared at her coach, seemingly hating her now more than ever.

"Coach Hammond?" Immanuel asked, stepping forward a few paces. "Sara had nothing to do with this. It was mine and my brother's fault, though mainly mine. I apologize and take all the blame. Please, do not punish her for something that isn't her fault." Coach Hammond huffed and walked away. Sara nodded a thank-you, then headed for the girls' locker rooms. Nathan and his friends stalked away, leaving the two brothers alone in the gym. "Go home." 'Now,' he added silently.

"Make me," Sam answered, a smug smile appearing on his face.

"You know I am strongest the day after I change. Do not challenge me or I will accept," Immanuel seethed.

"True as that may be, I am challenging you. What say you half-breed?" Sam taunted. Immanuel gave a curt nod before walking into the locker rooms. A few seconds later, he walked back out with his backpack and shirt in hand. He hadn't dressed out because he felt no need to. His coaches were mad about this, but said nothing. No rule would hold to Immanuel; he and his brother found ways around them.

"Hello Immanuel," a voice said from behind Immanuel as he walked in the hallway to his Spanish class. He slowly stopped and turned toward it. "How are you doing today?" she asked, her long black hair pulled slightly back and loosely tied, two strands wrapping below her ears. (A/N: Wonder who this is? - sarcasm)

"Listen I know you know who I am. Guess what, I've known who you are since before I moved here. Stay away from me. And stay away from Karen. I will not ask again," he warned, pointing a finger at her chest. Kimberly stood speechless in front of her classroom door as she watched Immanuel walk inside and take his seat. She followed as if nothing had happened. During class, she even slipped him a note written in Japanese so only they could read it.

"Sam tried to kill you!" Sara half whispered as she met Karen in the hallway on their way to Business Multimedia. Karen blushed a bit.

"No big deal," she whispered back. Sara nearly dropped her books. "Sara, calm down. Immanuel was there. He saved me. It's no big deal."

"He's always saving you, isn't he?" Kris asked as they sat down. "He couldn't save you then though. He won't be able to be there all the time. You remember that. He won't always be there like he used to be." They stared at him in shock as he turned and went to sit with his friends on the other side of the room.

"If he knows about Immanuel saving me more than once, and not being able to save me that one time then-"

"He's remembered too!" Sara finished for Karen. She looked at her friend and then over to Kris. "Why didn't he say anything this morning? When we were talking about it at breakfast?" Sara wondered aloud.

"Maybe he didn't want to draw attention to himself. If he remembers, then he knows that Immanuel and I-" She stopped suddenly. She hadn't really sorted through all of the memories she had.

"Today we are going to be doing something very unusual," their teacher said, snapping everyone to attention. "I want everyone to get with a partner and come up with a story. It must be fiction, and school appropriate. You have three days to work on it. In class, out of class, or on the last night. I don't care. We will present next Wednesday, so you do have the weekend. When you present, there must be some kind of visual to go with it. Please, be creative." Sara and Karen looked at each other with smiles. Their project would be on their past lives.

"Hey Matt? Why were they asking questions about Kimberly this morning?" Kristen asked as she tightened her bow and put resin on it. Matt did the same, putting his cello on the floor next to him.

"They seem to be pulling a prank on us. They want us to believe that we were all reincarnated and that in our past lives we were demons, priests, priestesses, and stuff like that," Matt said. When she didn't say anything he turned to see her… fainted on the floor.
