Chapter 12

Okay, I don't own Inuyasha, McDonalds from last chappie or anything else, But I own Inu's uncle, Riku, the bowling alley, and a KICK ASS PAIR OF JEANS! Booyah! I also don't own Janzu. My sister owns him and I kinda took him without asking. She's okay with it though since she stole Riku from me for a little bit.

No one has offered to take Inu's uncle away. I wonder how it would feel like; to be the worlds most hated character? Even Naraku has some fan girls. Even Dora the explorer has a following. But Inu's uncle doesn't even have a name, other than "Inu's Uncle." Yes, pity him for a while.

Naraku's POV, cuz if I don't tell you all what he's up to my sis will murder me>

Let's face it, I'm brilliant. The plan had worked perfectly.

With the papers I had stolen from my father I learned the phone number father reached Dr. Janzu with. Then, with a little detective work on my part, I found out that Kagome, that girl Inuyasha had been seen hanging around with for a while, had a younger brother named Souta.

It was almost too easy to find a phone and call up this infamous doctor. I introduced myself as Souta Higarashi, and said that my sister and I knew that Inuyasha would be safer with Janzu than on the streets where Mr. Onigumo could get him. I asked for any information that Janzu could give me, and he told me a very nice piece of information.

Apparently a friend of Inuyasha's, some little bird demon named Riku, had told Janzu where Inuyasha goes when he's on the streets. It was a little alley, near the intersection of South Third and West Harsh Street.

What was even better was that the building next to it was completely abandoned and due for demolition. All I had to do, to chase him out, was to get the deed and destroy the place. This wasn't hard when you had the connections I did.

It wasn't long until his beloved "spot" was under 2 tons of bricks and rubble. Now that I had the mouse out of his hole, I could have some serious fun.

Inu's POV>

I was back in the subway tonight. I still hadn't found a new place to call home. This time I was sitting next to some drunk hooker instead of the hairy guy that was here yesterday. Once again, major blow to my self-esteem.

Not much I could do about it though, so I just dealt with it. The thought did occur to me to search her and steal any money she might have, but then I decided against it. If I was so desperate I was going to steal from a Ho', then why should I bother. Might as well jump off a bridge if I was going to start doing that. It's one thing to steal some guy's coat, or another guy's shoes, but that was just too low.

Anyway, she snored, so I was starting to seriously question my recent objections to thievery.

In the morning, I walked out of the subway with a cold hotdog, a $20 and a bag of skittles. No, I didn't steal from that chick, it was all out in the open, just waiting to be taken...okay fine, the twenty and the skittles were from her, the hotdog was from some guy who gave it to me. He said he was going to turn himself into the police later anyway and he might as well give it to some one who needed it. I just decided to take it and not ask why he was going to jail. It's in my rules, just take it and run.

I spent the day walking around; it was starting to become a habit. It wasn't a very good one because just about anyone could see me, but I didn't care. There wasn't much I could do about it anyway. After a walking for a while, I decided that my hair was too long. It was something that was too easy to remember and spot. If I cut it, I would look a lot different. It might throw a few people off my trail.

Next on my list to steal: a pair of scissors.

Kagome's POV>

I was busy trying to write an equation of a line in y-intercept form, when I heard something hit my window... ... hard. I stopped, figuring it was just my imagination, but I decided to look anyway. I hate y-intercepts, anything that could distract me from that hell was welcome. I opened my window, noticing scratches in the paint. There was also a necklace there, a little heart shaped locket.

There was a note there too...

...From Inuyasha

I nearly screamed with delight when I saw that. But the realization that he might be out there stopped me before I could do more than gasp. I looked out, trying to see if he was there. I had half my body sticking out into the cold, but I couldn't find him. If Souta and his friends hadn't shoveled the snow in the shrine, then I could see where he went by those. Silently cursing my little brother and his sudden desire to be helpful for a moment, I closed the window and went back to my bed. Pushing aside my math book, I read the note.

The note will not be published because Inu-pup is too lazy to open her file of Chapter 11 and paste it onto here. That is all, thank you for your time.
Back to the story, Kagome's POV>

I had to call Sango. I didn't tell her, or mom or Souta for that matter, about Inuyasha showing up that one day with Riku. I was too disappointed, plus I knew Sango wouldn't be able to stop herself from rubbing it in that he left again. But I had to tell her this time. I just had to. And I had to show her the note. I'd tell her that Riku was just some kid Inuyasha used to hang with. That wouldn't be totally lying.

I ran downstairs so fast I almost tripped; I landed on my butt at the bottom. I quickly got up, ignoring my family's stares. It didn't even cross my mind to tell them. It was only until I was at the phone that I told them.

"Honey, what are you so excited about?" Mom asked me.

"Inuyasha." Was all I bothered to say, I then held out my hand so she could see the note. She took it out of my hand and read it quickly. Mom looked completely stunned. Souta then grabbed it out of her hands and read it too. I stepped away from the phone and walked over to mom.

"So he's alright after all." Souta asked/said.

"Yeah, that's what it says." I said, nodding my head up and down. The shock of the last few months suddenly decided to hit me. All the worry, and how mad Inuyasha seemed, all melted away. I was just left with a pleasant feeling, like when you're just drifting off to sleep.

"Well, you better write a letter back to him." My mom said with a smile.

"Do what?" I asked, coming out of my daze.

"He was nice enough to write one for you, it's time you write him one." My mother explained.

"Yeah, you must have at least a million in your diary!" Souta said with a huge grin.

"Have you been reading my diary?" I asked, putting all the venom I could into that sentence.

"Uh, no, just a guess?" Souta squeaked, his smile instantly gone.

"What are you waiting for Kagome? Get started." My mom said, grabbing my shoulders and pushing me towards the stairs back to my room.

I went back up to my room, fuming over my brother again, and thinking about what I should tell Inuyasha.

After rewriting it at least a million times, I decided upon this:

Dear Inuyasha,

I wasn't ever mad that you left. I'm perfectly fine too. So are Sango and Miroku. Souta really missed you when you left the first time.

I was actually worried you were mad at me, but I see that's not the case.

I hope you are really doing as okay as you say you are. Don't push yourself too hard. You are always welcome here. That guest bedroom is still set up. And now I can cook just as good as my mom! Hope to see, or hear, you again.

-Kagome

Yeah, it sounds stupid, but it was really starting to get late by the time I was done. I put the note on my nightstand and set my alarm clock. Then I got ready for bed, and me and Souta stood for the nighttime inspection. It really was a lame tradition now that I thought about it.

Before I knew it, it was 1 in the morning. I had spent the whole night thinking about Inuyasha and wondering where he was right now. I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I got up, dressed and grabbed the note on my way out. I went down the stairs, skipping the last one because it squeaked. I took my coat off its peg, and slipped on my boots. No use going to find Inuyasha if I got frostbite in the process.

And I was off, In search of my favorite half-demon in the world.

So, how was that chappie for you? Please review! Seriously. It let's me know people are listening and that lets me know when to update.
