Identity Crisis
Chapter two
Interesting Life
After calming down the slightest Amaya took a sniff at her own wrist and smelt a faint cherry blossom. She mumbled an, 'At least I smell good,' before finding a door on the top floor that smelt strongly of her scent.
As soon as she stepped in there screams of horror bubbled up from her throat. Kagome and Inuyasha were right behind her less than a minute later. The half demon stood in front with his ears down from the decimal that Amaya's screaming had reached.
"What the hell happened?" Inuyasha tried to get out over her insanely long yell of fright.
Finally Amaya cut off and howled, "Pink!"
She may not have noticed but jagged blue stripes appeared on her cheeks, one on each, and her eyes glimmered red –the iris turning molten gold. Then she started to claw at her baby pink walls, hot pink covers, and florescent furniture. With a fury of a crazed demon only Inuyasha could restrain, she continued to destroy her 'room' until he did just that –he grabbed her from behind, Amaya kicking him in the shins.
"She's lost her senses!" Kagome said with little tears in her eyes.
"No, she found them," Inuyasha said in a gruff voice.
Amaya broke away from her father and raced down the stairs. She went out into the shrine, miraculously finding paint, and darted back up to her room like a mad woman.
She opened up the caps with her claws by shoving her hand through the lid. Amaya started tossing paint everywhere, splattering her parents in black. After minutes and minutes of stunned silence, she finally calmed down enough to speak and the changes reseeded.
"I'm sleeping in the living room," she grunted out between clenched fangs, "And I'm redoing this…place when Ka—Kyota gets here."
So she left, distraught and disgusted, with a –what she deemed- 'safe' blanket and pillow. Amaya never really got to sleep; she didn't feel like she needed any at the moment, so she ended up thinking. Her topic? Life in general.
By the time morning came Amaya had been distracted many times. Her senses, which had heightened x10, kept her on the edge. It wasn't exactly that it bothered her; it was more like she kept hearing everything around her.
Akamori, her brother, came down in his uniform of black with a goofy smile on his face.
"Why god? WHY!" Amaya chocked out as she was reminded of Hojo.
"What's the matter sis?"
"Do you want a hole in your head?" her voice calm, but anger replaced it when she finished, "Because don't think I'm afraid to put one there!"
With tears in his eyes Akamori ran back up to his neon green room.
"Kagome what did you do to him?" Amaya groaned and fell back onto the couch.
"She babied the two of you, that stupid girl." Inuyasha said as he jumped down from the stairs.
"Neh, he's messed up…"
"Feh, what's gotten into you? Finally get a brain?"
Amaya growled and glared at him, "Yeah, I tried yours…but it was too small."
"That's cause your head is big."
"Bigger than yours." She sniggered.
Inuyasha merely let out another "Feh" before stalking off into the kitchen. It was official…he was pouting.
Kagome chose that time to come down. "Amaya? Do you feel alright?"
"Fine, why?"
"I don't know, I thought you might have a fever or something. Akamori just told me that you said mean things to him…" her motherly concern could choke a whale.
"I just told him the truth. It's not my fault the wimp is a cry baby."
Kagome stared at Amaya in shock, calling for Inuyasha in a shrill voice. He came, grumbling but he came. "What now wench?"
"Inuyasha? I think something's wrong with her…" Kagome said as if her daughter was not in the room.
"Don't worry so much." Inuyasha folded his arms, "She smells the same, she just grew a backbone."
"But Inuyasha--!"
"Hey! Quit talking about me!" Amaya's eye twitched as her fingers cracked.
"I told you: Don't worry about it." Inuyasha's voice just further irritated both females.
"I'm going for a walk."
"But honey, what about school?"
"I'm sick," Amaya blinked, "Or does that only work for you?"
She, Kagome, turned to Inuyasha with her finger up in a scold. "This is your entire fault, you jerk!"
"Me? What did I do?"
"You rubbed off on her!"
"That's a good thing idiot! I couldn't stand them anymore if the were both wimps!" Inuyasha shouted in relief.
"Oh! SIT BOY!"
And down he went, to the amusement of Amaya, with a loud thump. With another laugh, she grabbed Kagome's wallet and walked out of the house. Her pace was faster then most people and people stopped to stare at her.
"What are you staring at?" Amaya growled and shoved her clawed hands into her jean pockets.
"Damn it," she cussed as her claws ripped the pockets at the seams.
"Where is Hot Topic anyhow?"
"Higurashi!" A medium toned male voice called out to her side.
Amaya didn't pay attention, not used to having that name did wonders to help her ignore callings, and continued to move down the streets. She pulled her hoody up and glared at everyone that paused to stare. The mall was insight when the voice from earlier called out.
"Amaya! Wait!"
Stopping she spun around to come face-to-face with a Hojo Wanna-be with sandy blond hair. "Hi. Hey, why aren't you in your uniform?"
"Cause I'm going to the mall."
"But Higurashi! It's not right to ditch classes!" he said with wide eyes.
"It's also not right to flip people off," she gave him the sign right in front of his face, "But that's not stopping me is it?"
Gulping the teen backed up with a sheepish grin, "I'm sorry, I'll just swing by when you're feeling better."
"Hey! What do you mean by that shitface?" she yelled after him.
By that time though the blond teenager was already blended in with the crowd, so Amaya simply walked into the mall and found the nearest store with bunches of black and red.
…
A few hours later Amaya reemerged with quite a few bags on her arms.
I should have taken the car too, damnit.
So with much more patience than she wanted to have, she made her way home. Or at least where she was sleeping for now. She made no vows about spending her time near that prep of a fourth demon brother of hers. (She loathed to even think about the relationship between them.)
Flopping down on her new red blanket Amaya stared at the white roof,
That's got to go
…
A week or so later Amaya had gotten somewhat used to living with her new family. Used to it being the key word, didn't mean she had to like all of them.
During that time she and Inuyasha had gotten into many verbal fights, Kagome played the understanding mom with a temper towards the father, and Akamori had officially earned the title of 'Preppy Wimp.'
"This place is driving me insane!"
With an upbeat chime the door announced someone's presence. Kagome went to get the door after she wiped her flowery hands over her plump middle.
While she did that, Amaya took her chance and got away from her sibling. Walking upstairs she was unready for the water balloons thrown at her back.
"Sorry, couldn't help it," a very familiar voice said. "It was Shippo's idea."
"Kat?"
"Yeah," her friend replied. Her red hair was streaked with silver –thin lines through- and her eyes were gold. Her tail, which was a mix between a fox's and a dog's, hung down to below her knees with a creamy fur color.
"Shippo is going to die."
"He's in the living room."
Amaya walked down to the living room and snuck up behind Shippo. He had been too distracted by talking with Kagome to notice her.
"This is what you get for the water balloons," the irritated female said as she bonked him on the head.
"That wasn't nice sis." Akamori stuck up for Shippo, only to get bonked on the head too. He whimpered and cried.
"Man, he's a wimp." Shippo whispered and covered his pointed ears.
Amaya rolled her blue-gray eyes and walked back to Kat, reminding herself to call her Kyota.
"Having trouble?"
"I'm not used to claws; you'll have to excuse that." Kyota's gold eyes narrowed as Amaya smirked. The fox-dog mix pushed a few strands of hair behind her Elvin like ears carefully. That was when Amaya noticed the reddish stripes on Kyota's wrists.
"Don't tell me…"
"Huh?" Kyota blinked.
"The stripes…Are you related to fluffy?" Amaya's eyes were amused.
"Yeah, he's a grandpa that acts more like a cousin…"
"Oh, I see." Amaya nodded, "When do I get to meet him? Hopefully he isn't as scary as last time."
"Hopefully…Cause I don't have the doggy necklace."
"You can't 'Doggy' him anymore?"
"Nope…" Kyota sighed, "That sounded really wrong."
"Wow…at least we're still the same people. Our minds take everything wrong."
The other teen just laughed.
"So, how much have you found out?" Kyota asked and frustrated pushed her long bangs out of the way.
"About?"
She rolled her eyes, "That means basically nothing…"
"About what!"
"This life, your life, everything in general."
"My brother is a wimp." Was the first thing out of the dog demon's mouth. "Inuyasha is my dad, Kagome is my mom, and I was a prep."
"Interesting life."
