Part 4

Here is another chapter. My other fanfic isn't getting much attention, so I'm going to just leave it till I get some more reviews. Seriously, if you have two stories and one is getting more reviews and the other isn't, which one will you want to work on more? The one people are reading! Duh! Well, when I feel mad at the world, I guess it is best to write this one. And wanna know what else that sucks? isn't letting my read the fanfictions anymore! I'm sick and stuck at home with my grandma! All I want to do is read fanfictions!

Luvinukagome- you are so cool! A truly dedicated fan! I'm so happy! Remind me to give you a cookie next chapter! This folks, is a really cool kid! (Or stalker! Who cares?)

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, but I got a dare to write a fanfic with bananas, a teddy bear, the number 7, and shoes in it. And when I get a dare, I do it!

"WHAT? ARE YOU NUTS?" Kagome screamed at her friends while I followed from a distance. Fine, I was eavesdropping. A guy can't have any secrets nowadays.

"Come on Kagome! Just for a week? It could be fun!" Sango pleaded. What in the world could they be talking about?

"And if anything goes wrong we'll take the blame! Please! You have to ask him!" Miroku was also begging now.

"Ugh! Fine! Just stop groveling like morons. I'll do it at lunch." She almost screamed at them.

We had now reached the school and we all went in. while I pondered why I said 'we' earlier, they grabbed they're stuff from their lockers and I stole more breakfast. When there was just a few seconds left I rushed to my locker, got it open, and ran back to the classroom and sat down just as the bell rang. I'm sooooo good!

"Okay class! Today we'll start on our new band pieces! Take one and pass it down." The teacher said. I'm not even going to try to remember all their names. This one is the band guy.

Wait a minute! Band? I can't play anything! Well, wait a sec. oh yeah; I can play the, um. What do you call it? I looked around to see if I could see one in the room and sure enough, there was one in the corner, gathering dust. Looked like no one had played it in a long time. This was the one and only time I was actually grateful for something my mother tried to force my brother to teach me.

"Oh, I see we have a new student! What is your name and what is you game?" the band guy asked me.

"Inuyasha and I play that thing over there." I said while pointing to the instrument.

"I thought we would never get someone who could play the drum set! Come over here!" the band guy said. He was gesturing towards the drums.

I went there and sat down in the seat, surrounded by all the drums and the cymbals. I loved this!

"Can you read sheet music? Or do you go by ear?" the band guy asked me. I think I'll learn his name some time. I like this guy for some reason.

"I just play." I answered.

"Then let's play 'flight of the thunderbird' once through and see what comes of it. BAND! One, two, three, four!" he instructed while he stayed by my side.

The song had a four beat feeling to it so I tapped the bass pad with my foot to keep the beat. Then the trumpets started to play this really jazzy kind of tune and I hit the cymbal that sounded good with that. Then the bas section started to play this really weird rhythm that I copied with my free hand on the snares. The things I played kept getting more and more complicated as the piece went on, just playing what felt right. The title really fit the song, because you almost felt like you were flying. It was so cool! We played it the entire day, sometimes playing certain sections so the clarinets could practice a long string of notes a little bit slower. But it went by pretty fast, even if we did play for and hour. But the bell rang and he told the band to put away their instruments and get going. I left before he could find me. I wanted to keep that flying feeling for a little while.

Then we ran to our next class, and I mean the entire school was running! You didn't run and you got run over. I followed Kagome and her friends to that same room full of the computers again and sat down nest to a computer with my name by it.

The class was pretty uneventful, you read from the textbook and basically copied the exact words on to a worksheet. Then you played games for the rest of the period.

Then it was off to third hour where we drew all day. Art was pretty boring and most of the students talked. I didn't have anyone to talk to so I almost accidentally drew Kagome dangling over a boiling pot of water with a toaster in it and a couple alligators. Instead I crumpled it up and threw it away, while instead drawing a teddy bear that had been on Souta's bed that morning. It was pretty good too.

Then when that was over, we hurried off to 4th hour, which was science. I sat in back and didn't pay attention. Luckily I wasn't called on or something. We got a work sheet to complete and I copied off of Kagome. I don't think she noticed.

Then it was 5th hour, same class I had started yesterday with. Lunch was coming soon and I could smell the bananas and the hotdogs and the potato chips. I could also smell fear in Kagome's direction, so I knew she was dreading whatever Miroku and Sango had begged her to do. It was about asking someone something. What was so scary about that? Man I wish I had started eavesdropping a few seconds earlier. Then I would at least know what was going on.

Math went by with out a hitch, except the teacher said I failed that pretest.

Flash back>

"If your going bungee jumping, how far should your bungee cord be when stretched? More that 100 feet?" the teacher had said. Then he mouthed the word 'no' while slowly shaking his head like that was a bad guess.

Well, what do I care if some guy thinks I failed that on purpose? Not my fault he's a loser. Anyway, lunch was just 30 seconds away. Then 20, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, YES!!!! I love to count down to meals.

As the rest of the class ran to lunch, I noticed that Kagome and her friends weren't among the group. She was probably trying to hide from what she had to do and her friends were practically dragging her to lunch. I decided I would stick around and wait for them, so I walked back to the classroom and sure enough, kagome had the doorpost securely in her hands while Sango and Miroku were pulling on her legs. When I showed up, Miroku and Sango dropped her legs and whispered to her that now she didn't even have to walk all the way to lunch. What ever that meant.

Kagome stood up and brushed off her clothes a bit, then cleared her throat until Miroku yelled at her to get it over with. Now I understood, she had to ask me something. That is what she had been dreading.

"Hey, um, Inuyasha? Do you want to do with us to the luck seven bowling alley and play a few rounds with us?" she asked hesitatingly.

"That was what you were so worried about all day?" I asked her. Then when she nodded I couldn't hold it in any more. I laughed and I laughed and I laughed some more. It was too funny seeing the pathetic look on her face when she nodded. I was able to choke out a 'yes' before I nearly died from laughing. Then I followed them to lunch but I had to laugh again whenever she looked at me. It was too funny!

Then we went to reading where we read an excerpt from a book where a slave owner forced the slaves to only have one shoe so he could save money and they couldn't run away.

Then we went to language arts where we learned how to write persuasive letters. It was really weird; you had to write a letter to some guy, trying to persuade him to do something that you think would be good for the community. You had to make it seem like it is the best idea in the world by first talking about a few disadvantages and then turning it around and making those sound like good things that would benefit everyone.

Once that was over we went to history, where we took notes the entire time. Then the bell rang and I put my homework in a pile by my locker for me to pick up and walk off with when I felt like it. I waited around for a little bit, then took my stuff and left for Kagome's house.

Naraku's house in Naraku's point of view>

(a.n. this is not in Inuyasha's point of view! Weird after all this time, isn't it?)

Father was pacing again. Back and forth, back and forth! That's all that moron does is to walk back and forth, worrying over that stupid kid. That kid! If only he had died in the fire like the rest of his family, then father would pay attention to me instead of trying to find and kill him. Why didn't people die when they were supposed to?

"Your blocking the hallway son, come back later. Daddy is busy." Father called to me, ripping me from my fantasy of ripping that kid.

"I might now where that 'Inuyasha' kid is." I stated calmly. He stopped dead in his tracks. I knew that would get his attention. Now it is time for my own scheming.

"W-what?" father stuttered. You always knew when he was surprised because of that. That's why he's never been good at this kind of evil plotting.

"I know of a certain kid named Inuyasha who is the right age to be that kid your fire missed." I continued, he was right where I wanted him.

"Where? You tell me right now young man!" he tried to use that 'fatherly authority' on me. It didn't work because now I was in control. Now that wretched scum would pay for messing up my father's plans. And father would pay too; he would pay dearly once that Inuyasha was dead!

A small smile snuck its way on my face as I told him just enough to ensure Inuyasha's certain death. Kikyou hadn't done the job all the way; I knew my father would.

Inuyasha's point of view>

(a.n. phew! Back to the normalness!)

"INUYASHA! Let's go to the bowling alley!" Kagome called from the bottom of the stairs.

"Coming!" I didn't know why I was going. I needed to do some pretest-like homework to see where I was compared to everyone else, but I went anyway. I could always stay up and do it. I never slept anyway.

"Well, hurry up! I wanna get the sparkly green one before Sango!" she yelled back as she left the house. I sighed before I put away my stuff and followed her.

Once outside, I made sure the spell was on and looked around for Kagome. Some how I got the idea she was trying to lose me, but I sniffed her out anyway and followed her at a distance. I could take a hint when it was needed. After a few minutes of walking, I noticed Sango and Miroku's scents mixing with Kagome's so I decided they had met up with her.

I continued tracking them until I almost smacked head first into the bowling alley. Looking through the windows I could see Kagome and her friends having a really fun time. I had never gone bowling before, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to just watch.

They had been playing for an hour before it started to rain. First it was just misting, I hardly noticed, but soon it was pouring. I wasn't in the most protected spot either if you know what I mean. I went to enter the building. It was raining after all.

Kagome noticed me instantly. She has like a 6th sense when it comes to me showing up. I hadn't lived at her house for more that a day and I already knew that.

She groaned as Sango and Miroku noticed me too and they eagerly forced me to join their game. I didn't care. I just wanted to be with ka- I mean I wanted to be inside. Yeah, inside. The rain…um, yeah.

"Earth to Inuyasha! Earth to Inuyasha! We are leaving. You can practice being a statue some other time." Kagome said, lightly tapping on my forehead. My eyes crossed involuntarily for a moment before I realized I had been thinking the entire time I was here. Oh well, it's not like this was going to be my one and only chance to learn how to bowl, right? Those goons who wanted my fam- whoa! Don't think about that!

While my mind was busy yelling at itself, my body decided to ignore it and follow Kagome home. This was really weird. I don't think I've ever done this much thinking at one time. I knew there were some people who wouldn't think that it was even possible for me to think. Their loss, right?

When we were just about to go up the shrine steps, two things happened before I heard the shot.

1) Kagome looked at me and smiled. That was great!

-And-

2) Someone tried to knock me unconscious by hitting me on the head with a crow bar.

I grabbed it just before it could land a blow to my head and ripped it out of the thugs' hands. I decided to chew my self out about letting bad guys that close later and kick ass now. Then as I turned to kick some tail, I heard the gun go off. This was not good. I knew I could take a hit by a bullet and play dead so they would leave, but if I did, Kagome would be in danger. Part of me wanted to say, "who cares? She's a human!" but I could almost feel someone smack me lightly on the head like my mother used to when I said stupid stuff like that.

Analyzing the situation I saw 2 things in our favor and 2 things that could be potentially bad.

Good:

1) They only had one gun

2) They were 3 humans

Bad:

1) They had Kagome

2) The gun was pointed at her head.

"Hey, kid! Come with us quietly and the girl lives a little bit longer." The guy with the gun said.

They had almost solved the problem for me. I raised my hands above my head and moved as if to follow them. The guy with the gun lowered it, how stupid could you get. I turned instantly and made to grabbed Kagome and run out of here. Unfortunately I had to run straight at the gun, which was pointed at me now. That saying is right, things do look different when you're staring down the barrel of a gun.

The ass emptied the entire gun into my stomach. That was not good. Here is a perfect example of math lesson number one on the streets:

If a gun has 6 bullets in it and all but one is shot into your stomach, what are your odds of surviving if it is a 1/10 chance of survival and your only half human. The answer is 2/10, which can be simplified to 1/5, which is still not good.

Kagome screamed. She screamed and she screamed and she screamed some more. Even after I had gotten to her and ran off while carrying her bridal style, that was very painful, she still screamed. Even after I had gotten all the way across town and to my old home, which I had dubbed "Yasha's Alley," she was still screaming.

"Will you shut up? You're hurting' my ears!" I screamed back.

I'll give her this much, she stopped screaming. But she started bawling instead. I just ignored her. I had to lie down. My stomach was killing me. That was probably going to be literal in a few hours.

At least I could see my mom again.

NO! Mom would have wanted me to live!

But how was she supposed to know what it was like to live with out her?

DYING IS OUT OF THE QUESTION!

Whoa, am I arguing with my self? Now I know I'm dying.

Or I'm just crazy.

I'm not crazy!

The crazy people are so blissfully unaware of how insane they really are.

This is going to be a long night.

This is the end of chappie 4! Just to clear some stuff up, Inuyasha used to take a normally fatal bullet wound so he could play dead and the gangs would eventually leave. That is what he means up there. Also, they are now in his alley that he lived in when he was on the streets. He named it 'Yasha' instead of 'Inuyasha' because Inu means dog and Yasha means demon so if he just called it 'Yasha' (demon) it would scare away people. Well, more that 'Inuyasha' would.
