Chapter 12 Life is a movie
On the morning Inu-yasha was first very confused by the place where he woke up, but when it hurt every part of his body he remembered. He had been attacked by a group in graveyard and his mother was informed that he was in hospital.
What he wondered now was how Chaz could get her usually so over concerned mother not to go and check on his son. What would he tell her anyway when he got home. If she knew the truth about the attack so did Sesshomaru. This seemed bad.
He sat up and looked around. The apartment wasn't very big. It was only one room, kitchen and bathroom. Beside the main door was a bed that could easily hide under the sofa that was surprisingly big.
From the kitchen he smelled coffee and roasted bred and when he started to listen carefully everything around him he could find muttering. He glanced toward the windows of the apartment and behind there on a balcony was Chaz talking into a mobile phone.
Inu-yasha stood up smirking and walked toward a mirror he saw hanging on the wall. First he held his eyes closed when standing before it. then slowly sighing he opened his eyes. His other eye was swollen and black. He barely could open it. His lower lip was split open, but now the blood had gotten dry around his cheek. Also from the corner of his mouth came dry blood lines.
"Damn!" he muttered just when the door to the balcony opened. Chaz came in and saw him before the mirror. He sighed and then went to the kitchen.
Inu-yasha followed him with his eyes and was quiet. After a moment however he decided to go into the kitchen and ask a question that bothered him most. "Why are you doing this?" he asked folding his arms and leaning on the frame of the door despite his pain.
Chaz poured coffee into two cups silently. Inu-yasha had asked the same question last night in the car. How could he explain this? "My brother were killed by the same people who attacked you" he said silently and then went to the toast and put them on two plates.
Inu-yasha looked down. Someone was killed. By the same people. "Who are they?" he asked looking up again. Chaz showed his back to him now, but Inu- yasha could see that this wasn't easy for him.
Chaz closed his eyes for a moment and then put the cups and plates on a tray. He turned to look at Inu-yasha. "Let's go to the table" he said nodding toward the only room in the flat. Inu-yasha first they kneeled down beside a low table and then Chaz gave him the cup of coffee and the toasts that had some jam on them.
"I called to the school and told Kaede that I won't be coming to school" he was silent for a moment. "You don't need to inform of it. They won't bother with it if you are only one day off." He took a sip of the coffee that was actually real hot and black.
Inu-yasha noticed that Chaz was avoiding to answer. Again. He stared hard at his teacher who was maybe five years older or so. Chaz glanced at him quickly, but still didn't answer. After a long silent moment Chaz sighed.
"It doesn't matter how long you will stare at me" the older one of them said staring straight into Inu-yasha's eyes. "But I won't tell you. I won't take the blame if you will get hurt cause I told you. If you want to know, find out it yourself."
Inu-yasha looked down and took his cub. In what kind of game he had gotten into? Isn't this a usual little village far from Tokyo. He glanced out of the window. All the houses in this part were tall and very badly taken care of.
"However" Chaz said sighing and getting Inu-yasha's attention again. "You are already part of this. thing." He didn't get any right word into his mind or he didn't want to use any better word. He looked into Inu-yasha's golden eyes. "My brother was killed by them for a reason I don't know. With my sister we want to find out why, but then realised that you got a part in this. That is why I told my sister to follow you. Like me she also is a master of kendo as well of western sword fighting."
Inu-yasha studied on him. He had always thought that this guy was his tuff math teacher, but it seemed like he had come his mortal guardian angel. How had he gotten into something like this?
"My brother was killed only three months ago" Chaz talked again now being lost in his thoughts and memories. "He was only twelve years old and just about to be thirteen." Now he looked at Inu-yasha with sorrowful eyes.
Then he shook his head. "Why am I telling you this" he muttered and then looked at Inu-yasha showing a weak smile.
Inu-yasha had been silently wondering it himself. However he had another question in his mind. "How. why am I a part of this?" he asked.
Chaz looked at him again. "Cause you live in the haunted mansion."
That was a simple answer but something that made Inu-yasha's eyes widen. What was this all about? He moved from Tokyo to an estate that was said to be haunted. He finds a ghost and now this. 'Do Sesshomaru know something of this', he wondered.
***back home***
"Oh my dear son!" Inu-yasha's mom shout of happiness and worry when hugging the eighteen years old guy warmly and strongly. "Are you okay? What happened?" She looked at his son who was just a bit taller than her.
Inu-yasha only rolled his eyes. "I'm fine, mother" he told her knowing well that she wouldn't bite it. "I'm fine." Then he saw Sesshomaru to come down the stairs.
""Oh. My brother are still with the living" Sesshomaru said when Jaken run after him down the stairs. The dog was soon before Inu-yasha growling low. To that Inu-yasha rolled his eyes. "I would have thought that your mother killed you in her emprace." He gave a wide teasing smile.
Inu-yasha's mother turned to look at Sesshomaru surprisingly angry. "Don't talk like that, young man!" she growled. She had been worried when she hadn't heard of her son on yesterday's evening and then this teacher of his had called. Even so she had been real worried and now she saw his son to be in bad condition.
Sesshomaru stared at her not believing that his gentle stepmother could be so angry. "What are you doing here, Sess?" Inu-yasha asked trying to get his brother and mother away from each other's throat. "shouldn't you be in school?"
Sesshomaru stared at her for a longer moment and then looked down at Inu- yasha. "I have no school today cause I have a big exam tomorrow" he explained.
Then he was silent for a moment. "Who did beat you up, Inu?" he asked reaching to examine his face and smirking at the same time on what he saw.
Inu-yasha smirked as well, but of pain when his brother touched his tender cheek. He hit Sesshomaru's hand away and hissed. "Who did this, is not your concern" he said strongly and then took his bag that Chaz's sister hadn't left to the graveyard.
Then he just showed his back to his mother and brother when he started toward the stairs. When Jaken tried to stop him he just kicked the dog away and continued up.
***fourth floor***
Inu-yasha sat on his bed sighing deep. He covered his face into his hands just when he felt the gold breach again. "I'm not in a good mood right now" he warned the ghost who stared at him worriedly.
Kagome floated around him in a safe distance and after a moment sat down on the bed beside him. "Is this my fault?" she asked silently fearing that the fact that she was a ghost was the reason for the beat-up.
Inu-yasha looked at her. Just then she closed her eyes and shining transparent tears started to fall on her cheeks. He gulped not liking to see her to cry again and most of all cause of him. "Stop that already" he ordered with a bit too strong voice.
She looked quickly up at him. She had worry in her eyes and that made Inu- yasha gulp again. "What happened?" she asked him silently reaching for his tender cheek. Her hand however felt much more better than Sesshomaru's. The reason maybe was that her touch was cool and faint.
"I just got beaten up" he said more cheerfully and smiling faintly. He wanted her to smile again like she usually did. He wanted to see that smile she had given him when she realised that he could see her. "This isn't the first time." 'But this is the first time here' he thought right after.
Kagome noticed how his face turned quickly into a serious one. What was he thinking? She got nearer him and before he could think she was hugging him. He felt how he blushed when feeling her cool and transparent body against his body.
She worried so much for him. Just like his mother. He couldn't tell her the truth to make her worry more, but he knew one to whom he could talk. He wasn't happy to admit it, but there was no one else on whom he could trust this thing.
***third floor***
"So you are telling that seven strange guys attacked you when you crossed trough the graveyard?" Sesshomaru asked looking over a book that he was reading. He lifted his other brow at Inu-yasha who had told of the attack and only of it. He had decided not to talk about Chaz or his sister at this rate.
"Do you know why they did attack you?" Sesshomaru asked putting the book down on the table that was before him.
"One guy said it have something to do with the fact that I'm living in this mansion" Inu-yasha told his brother and sat down on the other side of the table. "And a boy was killed by the same guys."
Sesshomaru leaned back on the chair were he was sitting and stared his brother who's eye was still black but not swollen. "I have heard of this boy" he said silently and looked down.
Jaken wasn't in the room now and Inu-yasha was happy for it. the reason was that he was thought to attack the one who makes Sesshomaru look worried. 'Just like Sesshomaru' Inu-yasha thought and sighed.
"I don't know of much of the murder" the older brother said returning to be his usual self. "I still know that the police didn't want to get any part in this and that is why the murder is called and accident. All I can guess is that there is something big behind this." He looked at Inu-yasha shrugging his shoulders.
Inu-yasha looked out of the window that was in the room. What was going on? He left the room quite soon after not noticing Sesshomaru to take many strange books from their hiding places.
He walked to the upper floors and when he got into his bed room he laid on his back on his bed. He stared at the roof getting all the time more questions. He thought on the happenings of these weeks he had lived here. It's more than a month that he have lived here. Why this all appeared now? Why not earlier? What were the real reasons for Chaz's silence?
"I must find out" he whispered just when someone knocked on his door. He sat up and stared at the door until this someone knocked again. This wasn't another one of those games the ghost tried on him?
He walked to the door and opened it. There was Sesshomaru standing leaning on the wall beside the door. "I was thinking on this all and I know someone who might know more about this" he said offering a peace of paper to his brother.
"You can find this guy from Saloon Bar" he told the younger one. "I can show you the place from the map."
Inu-yasha gestured Sesshomaru to come in and then took a map book he held under his table on the table and opened it. Sesshomaru found soon the place from the map and pointed it. Inu-yasha grabbed a pen and made a circle around the place.
"Ask for Aliz" Sesshomaru told Inu-yasha.
Inu-yasha glanced at him lifting his other brow. "You sound just like you would be from some kind of movie" he said.
Sesshomaru smiled to him and then hit Inu-yasha's back. "Life is a big movie, isn't it" he laughed heartily first time in a long while in Inu- yasha's memory.
Inu-yasha smiled. "Thanks, Sess" he said.
"Don't thank me yet" Sesshomaru warned him when he finally got out from the room.
A/N: Someone asked what was the problem with Gin, the shrink. I hadn't planned any big part for her, but I could come up with something more. That is why I ask do you want my crazy Gin come into the picture yet again? Tell me.
I got this sooner ready than I thought. I actually got exited about writing again and I had quite good picture of what would happen in this chapter.
There has also happened pig changes into the original plan, but I still like this better. I have a certain goal in this story. I know how it exactly ends, but to get there is another story. I don't even know how long this will be. I also gave Chaz and his sister a bigger part than I had planned.
I also have a quite good picture of the next chapter but will see when I get it ready. I could get it ready even today thought I'm going to write Stuck in one time next.
Oh well. It's just like me to change many things when writing and come up with better or worse ideas. Tell me what do you like in the story! I would be very happy to know.
Thanks!
