Chapter Five – Awkward Welcome Backs

Kagome unwillingly opened her school bag, and started putting her lunch in her bag, along with some old dusty books that she found in her desk. Kagome was helping Sango pack her stuff, and Souta was unsuccessfully tried to help both Miroku and Shippo pack bags for school. It had been three whole days since they had arrived from the Feudal Era into Kagome's era. Still, even with their failed attempts, Miroku, Shippo and Sango were unable to return to their own era. So it was decided that until they could find a way to go back to their own era, they would remain in Kagome's, and live just like she did. The only problem was that Miroku had a wind tunnel in his hand, and Shippo was a fox demon. Sango on the other hand, would just have to cover her scar on her back. That past day, Sango and Kagome had gone shopping for some clothes for all of them. They got some really nice clothes and then talked to Kagome's mother about getting a uniform for Miroku and Sango. Souta helped Shippo get ready for school.

"Alright,' said Kagome at the door, "Miroku what do you have to remember today?"

"Um… No groping, no asking women to bear my children, and um… No touching anyone or looking at other girls in the wrong way?" answered Miroku

"Yeah, and no ditching me and Sango either!" said Kagome strictly. "Who knows what you'll do if you get lost!"

"Oh, and no using your wind tunnel against people you hate!" said Sango, eyes wide opened, and an image of Miroku sucking a guy into his wind tunnel because this guy was flirting with her, and a smile came to her face.

"Alright, and now since that's settled, Shippo please stay with Souta, and don't show anyone your transformations, and get rid of your tail, and no magic, and Souta, please watch him, make sure he follows the rules and all that okay?" said Kagome

"Oh come on Kagome, your acting like mom on my first day of school" said Souta rolling his eyes, "Don't worry, Shippo will be fine."

"Alright, thanks, and all of you guys are from… um… China? Is that alright?" asked Kagome.

Everyone replied with a yes, and Souta and Shippo left for school one way, and Sango, Miroku and Kagome all walked the other way towards her school. Sango and Miroku were all in uniforms, which made Kagome, laugh a little on the way to school. Once they had entered the school after a ten minute walk, they all walked into the assigned class. Kagome hadn't been to school in about half a year. She had gotten into a quarrel with her friends at school for always being "sick" and whenever they would visit she wouldn't even be at home. The moment they had walked into the class, dirty looks and glares were given to Kagome, and there was questioning about the other two that were trailing behind her. The teacher who was already sitting at the front of the class, scanning the pages of the history textbook looked up, and called the three of them to the front of the class.

"Follow me…" said Kagome quietly as she walked in front of the teacher.

"Ah, Kagome, welcome back to class finally" said Ms. Takinashi

"Hello" said Kagome

"Who are these people? I have never seen them around before." Asked Ms. Takinashi

"Oh, this here is Sango" said Kagome pointing to Sango, "and this is Miroku," she said pointing to Miroku, they are from China, they are my guests, and will be attending this school for a while, they do not know when they are departing yet."

"Oh I see…" said Ms. Takinashi, "Hello Sango, Miroku, nice to meet you both. I hope that you enjoy your time here, now please take a seat at the three seats at the back you guys, the lesson is about to begin."

They all sat down in their seats which happened to be right beside Kagome's old friends, and to her demise, Hojo as well. As the lesson started she stared at them all, wanting to say something, but was too afraid of what would happen. When the teacher issued a ten-minute break, all 3 girls, including Hojo turned around and looked at Kagome.

"Um… Welcome back Kagome" said one with black wavy hair.

"Yeah, welcome back" said another girl

"Hey Kags, welcome back, hope you've been um… healthy" said Hojo

Kagome's eyes widened. Hojo called her Kags. Only Inuyasha was allowed to call her that.

"Hey thanks…" said Kagome, her eyes watering, trying to hold back the tears.

"Who the hell are those two, your new friends" said the other girl, irritatingly glaring at them and then looking at Kagome rolling her eyes.

"Yeah, as a matter of fact they are!" said Kagome, now her anger rising, and you have no right to say anything about them!"

They all looked at Kagome, eyes widened.

"I think that you've been with that abusing guy way to much Kagome, your anger is off the top today, and it's pissing all of us off!" said the black haired girl

"Yeah whatever," said Kagome, "This is Miroku and Sango. Miroku, Sango, these are the people who USED to be my friends!" she said sternly.

Miroku and Sango said and did nothing; they just looked at Kagome, and the other people that Kagome was fighting against.

"Alright everyone, your ten minutes are up." Said Ms. Takinashi, "please quiet down, and open your history textbooks to page 289, we are going to be learning about "demons" that were claimed to have existed in the past…"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I can't believe that it has been so long!" said Kikyo walking with Inuyasha in the forest.

Inuyasha wasn't paying attention, and was instead staring at the Bone Eater's Well, that they had just walked by.

"Inuyasha?" said Kikyo, getting annoyed, "we've been walking for quite an amount of time, and everytime we manage to walk by that well, you completely ignore the fact that I exist and just stare at it!"

Inuyasha looked at Kikyo, and frowned.

"Do you have a problem with me staring at the well?" asked Inuyasha sternly, "Is it any of your business if I stare at that well? And do I give a shit what you think as I am walking past the well staring as much as I wish? No, no and no!"

Kikyo's eyes opened wide, and her soul catchers had just given her more souls. She looked at Inuyasha frowning and taking out her bow.

"And then you wonder!" yelled Kikyo holding her bow, and pointing the arrow towards Inuyasha's head, "You are WORSE than Naraku!"

"Put it down Kikyo" said Inuyasha rolling his eyes, anger rising that he was compared to Naraku, his arch-nemesis, "Oh, and don't EVER compare me to Naraku!"

"Well it's only true!" she yelled furiously, "maybe if you weren't such an idiot, I wouldn't have to compare you to Naraku!"

"Oh shut the fuck up!" yelled Inuyasha, "I'm leaving."

"What do you mean you're leaving?" yelled Kikyo, "You spend so much time looking for me and now that you have me you want that stupid incarnation of mine, is that it?"

"You don't know anything about Kagome! Unlike you she's worth it, she doesn't compare me to Naraku either!" he glared

"Then why are you here with me?" Kikyo smirked, "and why isn't she here with you? She obviously doesn't care about you, none of your so called friends do either."

"I'll find them!" he yelled glaring at Kikyo, "She wouldn't think about me like that, she never would! She's always cared and been there!"

"Then where is she now?" yelled Kikyo

"Not here, so I'm leaving!" said Inuyasha, "I promise you, I will get her back!" and he left Kikyo's sight, leaving her there on her own.
