The Glass is Half Full

A Danny Phantom/Inuyasha fanfic

"Woo-hoo!" Danny yelled as the plane began it's descent. "I can't believe we're finally here!"

"Yeah, after 32 hours of sheer torture," Tucker added. He then returned his face to the puke bag and gave out another bloodcurdling retch.

"Bleh!" Sam stuck out her tongue in disgust. "If I had known you were gonna be airsick I wouldn't have sat next to you!" She was seated directly in between Tucker and Danny, so as she slowly moved away from Tucker, she was that much closer to Danny. Danny tried not to notice Sam's presence, but his face immediately betrayed him by turning a bright shade of crimson. Danny snuck a quick look over at Sam and noticed her face was the same color. He opened his mouth to say something, but all of a sudden the plane jerked forward. Danny looked out the window and saw the ground coming up pretty fast. The plane finally touched down, and Danny couldn't help but give a sigh of relief. As he undid his seatbelt he glanced back over at tucker. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He wasn't sure if he had ever even seen a ghost that was that pale. Tucker shot him back a very annoyed look, but Danny brushed it off. He couldn't believe he was actually here! In Japan! His school had offered the summer exchange program before, but he never thought he would actually have the chance to visit a location as exotic and faraway as Japan!

The seatbelt lights came off and soon an announcement was made that it was time to get off the plane. Danny grabbed his carry-on and the carry-on of the still-green Tucker. He made his way to the front of the plane and then started down the stairs. He looked around himself at one of the largest cities in the world, Tokyo. The skyline here was amazing, piled high with buildings hundreds of stories tall, flying marquees and larger-than-life billboards, displaying products the likes of which Danny had never seen in America.

As he was taking in the awesome sights a voice behind him suddenly interrupted, "Move it!" and joined forces with another voice "Come on!" . Danny noted the disgruntled voices and made his way down the staircase where he was soon joined by Tucker and Sam.

The group took in their settings and decided it was time to rest up a little. Although it was 10AM it felt like it was 2AM due to time differences and jet lag. The school had put them up in a high rise building that was right in the center of everything. Danny thought it would be cool to be right in the middle of all the action, but he found out soon that being in the middle of one of the world's busiest cities made for poor sleeping conditions. Around 2 o'clock PM he got up from his bed, frustrated with his failed sleeping attempts. He was sharing a twin room with Tucker, who apparently, had no trouble sleeping no matter the circumstances. He thought to go up to the next floor where Sam and another girl were sharing a room, but then decided against it. He wasn't even sure if the boys were allowed to go up to the girl's floor, being that this was a school field trip. Well, he'd see her soon enough, he thought. The group was having dinner together at 6PM. He made his way out of the hotel's hallway and down the elevator. He figured this would be the perfect time for some exploring. He hopped on a bus and decided to go where it took him.

Kagome ran for the well. Inuyasha was trying desperately to stop her from going back to her time, but she had so many important things to do. She knew just what to do to get him off her back.

"Osuatti!" She screamed. He immediately stopped where he was and plummeted to the ground. Kagome wasn't sure, but she thought she heard a few choice words escape his lips. "I'm going back for three days. Don't you dare try and come to get me!" She looked back over her shoulder at the wobbly figure of Inuyasha trying to find his feet again. It was almost pitifully cute how he was getting up. Kagome thought she felt the tiniest singe of guilt for sitting him so abruptly. "Bye for now, Inuyasha" she said, flashing a smile. Then she hopped down the well and returned to her time.

She climbed out of the well and began to make her way to the house. She looked around. She knew it was summer, and that was the busy season around here. Higurashi shrine depended on the heavy flow of tourism during the summer months. But for some reason, there was no one here. How very strange, she thought to herself, must be a slow day or something.

She stepped into her house "Mama, Grandpa, Souta, I'm ho-ome!" She was soon greeted by her mother.

"Hello Kagome, home at last? It's been so long this time! How are things in the other world?"

"How is Inuyasha?" Her brother interrupted.

"Fine, fine" Kagome said. She didn't like talking about the other world too much with her mother, she didn't want her to worry about her too much. Kagome knew that her mother wouldn't stop her from going if she knew, but she also knew that it would make it that much harder for her, and Kagome wanted her mother to suffer as little stress as possible. She walked over to her mother and gave her a big hug.

"Kagome…" her mother said.

"I love you Mama." She said. "I just wanted to let you know!" She gave her mother a big smile and started towards the stairs. She was so tired. She just couldn't wait to lay down on her bed. At that very moment, just as if she had read her mind, Kagome's mother called out to her.

"Kagome, would you like me to wake you up for lunchtime?"

"Yes please! Thank you Mama!" Kagome replied. She stepped inside the door to her room. Ahh, it felt so good to be home!

Higurashi Shrine? It sounded interesting. Danny glanced at his watch. It was nearly 1PM. He had ridden the bus for a while, but he hadn't really seen anything that sparked his interest. He had gone past giant malls, and some pretty interesting-looking open air markets, but since he was broke like a joke, he didn't quite know what he would do in those types of places. He decided to enter the shrine. He was greeted by a rather amiable old man, who spoke to him in Japanese. Danny thought to himself that those Japanese classes were about to pay off! As he drew in a breath and prepared to greet him, a girl, who looked to be around his own age came running towards them.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Lu-unch!" She stopped, "Oh, sorry Grandpa, you're with someone." The girl looked at the stranger and introduced herself. "Hi I'm Higurashi Kagome, nice to meet you!"
