Chapter 9 Locked room

Weekends over and Inu-yasha had to return to the school again. It was like any other school day. Kouga were picking fights all the time. Kikyo tried to get to know him better. Not that he would complane. He really thought Kikyo was beautiful and maybe one to date, but everyone thought he was crazy. That's all they are talking in the school. Inu-yasha's crazy!

Now however his mind is more on the former owners of the mansion and on the ghost-girl. Now he even got a third broblem when getting back home from school.

"I can't believe this!" Inu-yasha shout on the way to his floor. "Mom is sending me to a shrink! Did you hear Ghost? They think I'm ready for a mad house!" He was angry and pissed off when he reached the fouth floor.

He was just about to open the door into his room when he heard sniffing. He hadn't heard sniffing since he got well from the sickness. What was it now. "Ghost?" he called and looked up like she would be floating above him. Then he turned to look toward the locked door and saw the girl to be laing before the door like a cat.

How he hated to hear her to cry. Any woman to cry! Now however her sniffing was even sadder than before. He left his school bag behind and walked slowly toward the ghost. "Ghost?" he asked silently again.

The bundle moved slightly and she looked up a bit. When she saw him she suddenly got up and brought a wide shining smile on her face. "i didn't notice you came home" she said putting her arms around his neck for a hug. Usually Inu-yasha would be red like tomato when she did this, but now he knew something was wrong and he didn't give another thought for the hug.

He pulled her back and moved some hair from her face. "What's wrong?" She sniffed ones and then smiled even more brightly, but there was something unnatural in her smile. It was a forced smile and Inu-yasha noticed it.

"Quit acting" he said strongly that startled her. "I know something's wrong. What is it?"

Her smile dissappeared and she looked down. Slowly she turned to look at the door behind her. "Your brother, Sesshomaru, talked about the family that used to live here. I am the girl, but I can't remember a thing!" She started to cry and Inu-yasha bite his nails. How he haited when someone cried.

Finally he put his arms around her and he could do it cause the girl chose to be more materialized. "Calm down" he said silently and he felt like he would be the big brother of hers. Only difference was that he usually blushed.

"A-all I know's" the ghost sniffed and looked up at the door again. "That behind there is something that could help me."

"Why can't you go there?" Inu-yasha asked. "You are a ghost right?!"

The ghost sniffed again. "I am but. there is somekind of shield or something that. won't let me trough." She started to cry again. "I want to know who I am.!"

That was barely a whisper, but Inu-yasha could hear it. She leaned against his chest needing support. In any other situtation he would blush now, but he was so bothered by her sniffing that he had no time to blush.

Finally he pulled her back and with narrowed eyes he started to study on the door. He took a little of speed and run toward it his shoulder first. He was slammed right on the door and it didn't even move.

"Are you okay?" the ghost came beside him when he was itting on the floor holding his shoulder.

"Damn it hurted!" he hissed from between his teeths. "You have any idea where the key could be?"

She shaked her head and then thought about it. "Maybe there would read in the diary!"

"That's right!" Inu-yasha shouted standing up. He smiled, but blushed soon after when she came and hugged him.

***Sesshomaru's floor***

"Sess!" Inu-yasha shout running down the stairs. "Sess?!" he shout again and suddenly from behind a door jaken run toward him. He literally kicked the dog away. "Sesshomaru?!!" He shout louder.

"I'm here, dumpass!" he heard a shout from downstairs and so he run down all the way.

There Sesshomaru was sitting byt the table having a bred in his hand ready to be bitten. "Sesshomaru?!" Inu-yasha said accidently with a too loud voice.

"I'm here idiot!" the older brother said. "I can hear you!"

Inu-yasha was silent for a moment when the ghost-girl came down trough the roof beside him. "Was there in the diary said anything about a key that led into the locked room upstairs?" he finally asked knowing that Sesshomaru knew of what room this was about.

Sesshomaru took a bite of his bred and thought about Inu-yasha's question. "Actually" he said swallowing the bred in his mouth. "There was something said about it." He stood up and put the bred in his mouth. Then he started toward the stairs.

They entered Sesshomaru's bed room where on a desk was the old diary. Sesshomaru put the bred down on the table and then opened the book. There was a long silence when he looked for the information.

Inu-yasha was blushing on the moment when the ghost was looking over his shoulder and holding her arms around his neck. She tightened her grip beeng too nervous to hear the information.

"Here it is!" Sesshomaru shout and turned to look at Inu-yasha. Then his smile dissappeared and turned into a boring one. "Why are you blushing, Inu?"

Inu-yasha swallowed and then looked away waving at him. "Just read it!"

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and then started to read "I had planned to open every door in the house, but one was left locked. The reason for that was cause I had dropped the key somewhere into the basement. There is so dusty and no other light than the candle I had with me that it was impossible to find the key. So. My dear sisters room was left locked.." Sesshomaru stopped cause the rest of it had nothing to do with the key.

He looked up to look at Inu-yasha, but he wasn't there. He heard his brother to run down the stairs. Sesshomaru run out from the room. "Inu- yasha!" he shout after him. "You are not allowed to go there!"

Inu-yasha heard him to shout after him. "Like you ever followed orders?!" the younger of the brother shout and continued down.

Sesshomaru knew he was right. He had been in the basement already twice and found things he would tell to Inu-yasha. He decided not to say anything anymore and went back to get his bred.

***basement***

The ghost-girl was carring a candlestick that had five candles beside Inu- yasha. Otherwise she would float above him, but the roof was so low. Inu- yasha, in other hand, was sweeping the floor with an old broom.

"Here is dust of almost two hundred years" Inu-yasha said and it made him cough when all the dust got into his lungs. He took a cloth from his pocket that he had taken with him down here. He put it around his head to cover his nose and mouth. It wasn't so fun to breath like that, but atleast the dsut didn't get into his lungs so easily. He was also lucky to find so thin cloth.

"Have found anything yet" the ghost asked after a while. That was maybe the hundred time already. Inu-yasha just shaked his head.

He had found all kind of other things like cups, old clothes, wood and here was even an old bath. Almost everything else was found but the key.

"Have you tried that place yet?" the ghost asked pointing on a chest.

"You try it" Inu-yasha said as well as he could trough the cloth. He himself continued to look forward.

The ghost put the candles down behind Inu-yasha (not too near ofcourse). She didn't need the lights when he went to the chest and slowly opened it. It was full of broken clothes and shoes. She digged deeper into the chest when she suddenly heard Inu-yasha to scream of surprise.

Inu-yasha's leg went trough the rotten food and he shout of surprise. The ghost came immediately to him when he tried to get his leg out. He did get it, but he got also a long vut on his leg cause of some nail. "Arghh!" Inu- yasha looked at the found and decided that it was best to get out from here before all the dust would be caucht by his wound.

The ghost helped him up when she suddenly saw something. She went to it and took the small item she saw. "The key!" she shout of happiness.

Inu-yasha turned to look at her and smiled hissing immediately after it of pain. She smiled and helped him out taking the candlestick with her.

***Inu-yasha's floor***

After taking somehow care of the found Inu-yasha had gotten up and now he was trying the key on the locked room. His wound on his right leg hurted. He hissed again and then he turned the key. he heard a silent klick and the looked at the ghost smilingly.

The ghost-girl looked like she would blow up of exitement any moment now. She came nearer him and waited him to open. He slowly opened the door.

The room behind the door was bigger than any other room in same floor. He looked around and saw many furnitures covered with white sheet and the sheet was covered of dust. He hissed again when walking into the room, but it was nothing compared to his amazement when he looked at the walls and roof. They were painted and it was like he would be inside a forest.

The ghost-girl were dancing in the middle of the room off happiness. When she stopped she smiled to him and went to him as well. "I remember now" she told him.

A/N: Here I left a gliffhanger just to tease you! Not exactly, but I just thought it was good place to stop this chapter.

For new chapter you have to wait three weaks and even more if I don't have time during those four days after I come home. I won't have any poissibilities to get to computer and I'm not at home. Not even in my home country so.

The next chapter will be the tenth. I'm kinda happy cause that's a lot! It haven't taken me even long time if we don't count my abcense from home.

Well the story have gone futher little differently than I had planned, but I like it like this better. First I planned to make Inu-yasha crazy after opening the locked room, but it goes much better like this. Soon there will be this psychiatrist and soon after it will become the christmas when they find the way to free the ghost from this world. Then starts Inu-yasha's fights with his heart ^_^ also there will be revealed also Sango's and Miroku's true relationship with not so lucky way.

That's something for what's coming and I say again. I promised so I will to read my chapters trough and correct my mistakes. You don't need to remind me of it, but like I have said I don't have time during the summer.

See ya! ^_^
