Chapter 3- "I'm Hot as a Girl"
Kagome walked into the house with Kagura following behind her. Seeing InuYasha standing in the doorway hadn't surprised her, seeing as almost everyday after school he was either waiting for her at home or near the school somewhere. It felt nice to know that he cared for her so much, but sometimes his overprotective, obnoxious demeanor really annoyed her.
InuYasha eyed Kagome suspiciously and eyed Kagura even more. He had never seen this girl before and she smelled different. It was almost like the scent was familiar in some weird way. Knowing that his sniffing annoyed Kagome sometimes, and that the girl's scent was probably nothing; he stopped and crossed his arms across his chest as he usually did.
'I can't believe this! This is InuYasha; he's here, in this odd place. And what's that on his head?' Bankotsu wondered, staring at the blue thing that sat on his enemy's head. 'What is he doing here? I probably can't even fight him; a girl's body has no chance against him. This body probably has no strength at all!' He scoffed inwardly, hating that he was in a female's body.
"It's a good thing you just happened to have that hat on." Kagome whispered in InuYasha's ear as she passed by him to find her mother.
"No, you're lucky! I only had it on because I was going to come looking for you!" InuYasha said loudly, following behind her. He hadn't realized that he had walked right in front of the new girl.
"InuYasha, there is no need to holler, you're gonna scare Kagura." Kagome said, pointing a finger of warning towards him. "Oh, by the way, this is Kagura, InuYasha." She said, turning him towards the girl behind him.
InuYasha blinked when he heard what her name was.
'This wench has got this dog whipped.' Bankotsu thought, noticing how InuYasha behaved around her. InuYasha looked him up and down, and he felt like the hanyou recognized him. It was almost like he could see right through the girl's body, but he knew that he couldn't. InuYasha only saw a girl.
"Kagura, this is InuYasha." Kagome introduced.
Bankotsu didn't know what to say. He felt like yelling out at InuYasha, but then they wouldn't know what to think, seeing as they didn't know he was Bankotsu.
"What's wrong with this girl? Your friends are usually all giggly." InuYasha said looking all confused.
"She might be living with me now." Kagome said simply. She turned to continue walking to the living room. She was more concerned at how her mother might react when she got the news that Kagura may have to live with them.
"What do you mean she might be living with you!" InuYasha asked, irritably following Kagome.
Kagome ignored his question and directed her attention to her mother. "Mom, Kagura was able to take classes today. But, the thing is, Sensei said that unless she gets a guardian to sign these papers, then she can't be in the school anymore." Kagome explained, handing her mother the papers of registration.
Bankotsu stood (unusually calm) by InuYasha and listened to what was going on. He wasn't sure what they were talking about, and he had no clue in hell where he is. He felt more lost than ever. He wanted to get back to his brothers, and to the place he knew.
"Hmm...Kagome if I sign this form, then I'm saying that I'm her parental guardian." Her mother said, looking up from the papers at Kagome.
"I know mom, but it doesn't look like she's got anywhere else to go." Kagome said concernedly.
Her mother sighed and looked over at Kagura. "Kagura, do you have any parents, or family?" She asked.
'What should I say?' Bankotsu wondered, searching for an answer to give to the woman. "Um...no. I don't have any parents." He replied and waited for their reaction. All the while InuYasha stood beside him, it pissed him off. InuYasha looked almost a whole head taller than himself. He couldn't remember InuYasha being that tall, but he figured it must be his new female body that was short.
"You don't have any family? A grandmother? Or an aunt or uncle?" Kagome's mother asked.
Bankotsu was starting to let his temper get the best of him. 'I definitely don't have any family here!' He thought angrily. He just wanted to go back to where he came from. At this point he would rather be in Naraku's grasp, at least he would know where he is. "I don't have any family okay!" He replied. Once again cringing at what his voice sounded like.
Kagome's mother, Kagome, and InuYasha all stared at Kagura. They weren't expecting that outburst.
"Well...okay. I'm sorry." Kagome's mother said.
"Huh?" Bankotsu was confused. What was she saying sorry to him for?
"It must be very painful...to have no family." Her mother said, and looked back down at the papers.
'Huh?' Bankotsu had never seen a woman care so much. She was sad, for him, no...for Kagura.
Kagome had a pen in hand and passed it up to her mother. She was kinda surprised that her mother was signing the forms already, but then again her mother had a big heart. 'It's weird that a girl would all of a sudden appear at our well. And have no family or anything. I wonder what happened to her?' Kagome thought.
"Welcome to our home." Kagome's mother said warmly and walked towards Kagura. "We'll have to get you a bed set up." She said smiling at the girl.
"Okay what's going on? You're telling me that this girl is living with you now?" InuYasha said, waltzing up to Kagome.
"I thought you were here?" Kagome said smartly.
"Here, where?" InuYasha said, not getting Kagome.
"I thought you were here when my mother just signed the papers." Kagome said.
"I was! Hey, you don't have to be a smart ass to me!" InuYasha said.
Kagome walked passed him with a grin on her face. "Come on InuYasha, you can help me set up a bed for her."
"Kagome we have to go back soon." InuYasha whispered as they walked up to her bedroom, or what he thought was a whisper. He didn't like having Kagura behind them constantly.
"InuYasha I may not be able to come back with you today." Kagome said.
"What! But you've been spending so much time here lately." InuYasha complained.
"I know, and now this has come up." Kagome said as they entered her room.
'What are they talking about? Going back where?' Bankotsu wondered. 'Do they mean going back to where I use to be? Going back to Japan? Wait, I think this is Japan too.' Bankotsu thought, starting to confuse himself.
"Kagura I think for now you're gonna have to sleep in my room. We can take turns with my bed if you'd like, so that you don't have to be on the floor all the time." Kagome said, setting up a bunch of blankets on the floor.
"She doesn't talk very much does she." InuYasha said.
Kagome gave him a look as to say, 'be quiet' and finished setting the blankets up. She could see it wasn't going to be easy getting InuYasha to leave.
"Kagome please come back. We have shards to find." InuYasha said pleadingly. He was actually controlling his patience.
'Shards? Wherever 'back' is...I have to follow them, and then I will find my way back.' Bankotsu thought, listening to every word they say. Little did they know that he was Bankotsu and not a wimpy girl named Kagura. If only the body he was in wasn't wimpy then he'd kill InuYasha right then and there, and take his little girlfriend too. If there was one good thing about his situation, it was that at least he was stuck with a hot looking girl.
"InuYasha, I don't think I should just leave Kagura on her first night here, and her first official day of school tomorrow." Kagome said. She did want to go back. The feudal era was like her home; she loved it there. And she missed Sango, Miroku, and Shippou. InuYasha was right, she has been spending a lot of time in her era lately, but it is only because her marks were flunking and she needed to bring them up. Now she probably couldn't go back because it would only be proper to stay with Kagura.
"It's alright. I think I'll be fine. I've been hearing that you need to go somewhere, and it's okay if you go, I'll be fine." Kagura tried persuading. He wanted them to go, so when they do, he could follow them.
"But Kagura, you don't even know my family or anything. Won't you be a little uncomfortable? And you are gonna have to pee again." Kagome said.
"What's that suppose to mean? I know how to pee!" Bankotsu said, feeling offended.
"Sorry, I was just thinking of before." Kagome said.
Putting what she had said to him aside, he spoke nicely again. "I won't feel uncomfortable, your mom seems very nice, and if I can survive outside without a family, I'm sure I can survive with a family. Even if it isn't my family." He tried again. It almost killed him to talk so politely.
"Well.."
"I insist that you go." He said nicely. 'Oh please just say yes.'
"See Kagome, Kagura will be fine here." InuYasha said, glad that Kagura was making it easier for Kagome to go with him.
"Oh alright. But Kagura, make sure you get something to eat, and don't mind my brother. He gets home soon, and he will probably talk to you quite a bit." Kagome said in a hurry. She felt like she had to quickly explain things to Kagura.
"Thanks, I'm sure I won't mind." He said.
"Oh and Grandpa will probably talk to you about artifacts and history a lot, just put up with it for the time being. You can use anything you want, my stereo and clothes." Kagome said fast, knowing InuYasha's urge to go was getting stronger.
"Alright, I'm sure I'll be fine. It was nice for you just to bring me into the house." Bankotsu said. He didn't think he had ever spoken so nice in his life. He just wanted them to leave so that he could follow them and get away from this place.
"Okay, thank you so much Kagura." Kagome said, quickly throwing things into her backpack. After she thought she had everything she needed, she said goodbye to Kagura and went downstairs.
"For you." Kagome smiled, packing in a bunch of ramen and then some candy for Shippou.
InuYasha watched all the ramen she packed. He couldn't wait to eat some.
"All right, all set. Mom, I'm leaving with InuYasha! Treat Kagura well okay!" Kagome hollered so her mom would hear and then she went out the door.
"Yes." Bankotsu said, pleased with himself. He peeked around the corner to see if Kagome's mother was coming. When the coast was clear he moved to the door and watched where the two were heading. 'They're heading to a well-house?' Bankotsu thought, slightly confused. 'Why would they be going to a well?'
Once he knew they wouldn't see him, he went out the door and began to walk carefully towards the well-house.
"InuYasha, I don't like leaving Kagura behind by herself on her first day here." Bankotsu heard Kagome saying from behind the doors to the well.
"We've already decided we're going, so let's go." InuYasha said impatiently.
Bankotsu looked around the door and to his surprise, they jumped into the well. 'Huh? This is really getting weird now.' He thought and slowly moved into the house. He couldn't hear their voices anymore and wondered why they were so quiet. He walked down to the well and when he looked over the ledge, they weren't there. 'What in the hell? This must be the way back.' He thought and hopped up on the ledge. "Here goes nothing." He said to himself and jumped into the well.
"Hey, nothing happened!" He said angrily as he rubbed his butt, which he had landed on. 'Why didn't I disappear?' He wondered, looking all around him. There was dirt, bones and god knows what else lying all around him. "Yuck, I'm getting out of here." He said and got up to find a ladder against the wall leading out.
"What should I do now?" He wondered once he got out of the well. 'I guess I'll go back to the house. Dammit! Why can't I go through like they did? What if I can't ever get through and have to stay like this forever! Ahh I couldn't stay like this, I wouldn't be able to live with myself!' He panicked.
"Kagura, what are you doing out here, you have dirt all over your uniform."
Bankotsu turned around to find Kagome's 'over-caring' mother coming towards him. 'Great, I'm stuck with people who think I'm a wimp that needs to be constantly looked after.'
"Here, come in the house and I'll give you some clean clothes." Kagome's mother said and led her into the house.
"Kagome!" Miroku, Sango, and Shippou said all at the same time when Kagome appeared out of the Bone Eater's Well.
"Where have you been?" Sango asked, giving Kagome a warm smile.
"I've been so tied up with school work that I haven't been able to come back as much. My grades were flunking so I had to stay there and try to bring them up." Kagome explained. "Has anything happened while I was gone?"
"Nothing, actually it's been unusually quiet." Miroku replied.
"There hasn't been any shards near by at all?" Kagome asked. She found it odd that nothing had happened while she was gone all those days.
"No, and if there was we didn't know." The monk said seriously.
"Something happened to me in the modern era." Kagome said.
"Really, what's that?" Sango asked.
"Well, this morning when I was getting ready to leave for school, I saw the doors to the well-house open, so I went to shut them. When I got there, a girl about my age was hiding behind them." Kagome explained.
"I wonder why a girl was hiding in your well-house?" Sango said.
"She was all dirty, and then later we found out that she had no parents or family. So she was obviously homeless. The weird thing was, that she acted like it was her first time in this world. She didn't know what anything was." Kagome said.
"That's weird. So, what did you do with her?" Sango asked concernedly.
"Kagome took her home and that's it okay! Can we go now?" InuYasha butted in rudely. He stood by Miroku with an irritated look on his face.
"InuYasha...SIT BOY!"
"Gahh!"
"You really need to learn how to speak to a woman." Miroku said calmly, brushing the bits of dirt that had hit his robe when InuYasha hit the ground.
"Kagome, you didn't have to do that." InuYasha said, slowly getting up.
"Fine, let's go make camp." Kagome said and began to walk away from the well with Sango beside her.
"Why did this have to happen? What would have ever made me turn into a girl? Of all the times that Naraku has brought me back to my miserable life, this time I am brought back as a girl. None of this makes any sense. Along with that, I end up in this weird place. My world doesn't have any of this stuff, maybe this is the future." Bankotsu talked to himself. He sat on Kagome's bed, pondering everything that had happened.
"I need to get through that well, but how? If it won't let me through, then how can I get through?" He wondered. The sun was setting, and he had already had dinner, because Kagome's mother had insisted, and he was able to use the washroom all on his own. He felt his body getting tired, but his mind was no where near to settling down.
"I'm am going to kill Naraku for what he did to me." He said to himself. Revenge was coursing through his veins and he had never felt so much anger in his life. 'No one turns me into a girl!' "I mean, look at my legs. I'm wearing a skirt! Who wears a skirt to sleep in? And my legs are so gangly that I'm surprised they can hold my weight. I don't have any hair!" He said, for the first time, really analyzing himself.
"And, hey why didn't I notice these! They weigh me down! It's like having two melons strapped to your chest. My hair is soft and shiny and my hands are small. What am I suppose to do with hands this small! I don't think my skinny arms could even lift my beloved Banryu." He said and got up to look in the mirror.
"I swear when I get back...heeeey, I look pretty hot." He mused, looking at himself in the mirror. "Who knew I would make such a hot girl." He said smiling at himself. "Hey, my six pack, it's gone! Ahh I hate being a girl! Naraku is going to suffer for this! I will make him wish he had never brought me back to life!"
AN: Oooo, Bankotsu's mad...lol, yay finito!
