Chapter 12: What Really Goes BUMP in the Night
Recap: Ok, so then, last chapter the power went out in the school during a storm. Sango told Inuyasha and Kagome a ghost story about the school, and they come face to face with what they believe to be the "ghost of Ami". So, last left off with Sango, Inuyasha, and Kagome starring at the shadowy figure. So, off we go!
The three teens stood glued to the floor starring at the figure in front of them. Inuyasha finally lifted the flashlight and shined it into the figure's eyes. The person shielded its eyes with its hand covering its face. After a second of getting used to the light, the figure dropped its hand revealing who it was.
"Miroku? What the hell are you doing in the school?" Inuyasha asked his old roommate.
Miroku blinked a few times, still not used to the direct light in his face. "Could you lower that light? I can't see anything." Inuyasha lowered his flashlight. "That's better."
"Well, what are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked again.
"Oh yeah. Well, the lights at the college went out as well. I think that the power went out all over the neighborhood."
"So, why did you decide to come here?" Inuyasha asked.
"Well, I thought you girls might like to have a man around at this time, so you wouldn't be too scared."
Inuyasha grabbed Miroku and put him in a headlock. "Watch what you say!" Inuyasha lowered his voice a little so that only Miroku could hear him, "I bet the real reason you decided to come over here was because you loved the idea of being around all these girls in the dark."
"That's one of the reasons," Miroku said. Inuyasha let go of Miroku's head.
"How'd you get in here?" Sango asked.
"Well, it wasn't hard, I just had to crawl through one of those windows, and I was in!" Miroku smiled feeling himself a little sneaky.
"So, were you the one upstairs we saw?" Kagome asked.
"Upstairs? I just got in here, I haven't gotten a chance to go upstairs," Miroku said. "Is that where all the girl's rooms are?" Miroku asked with a gleam in his eyes.
"You won't be able to get into any of those girls rooms, so don't get any ideas," Inuyasha informed him. Miroku seemed a little disappointed.
Kagome continued with her question from before, "So, if you weren't the mysterious shadowy figure we saw before, who was it?"
"Probably just some janitor or something," Sango said.
"Hmm, a mysterious figure lurking in the dark, eh?" Miroku commented, "maybe I should accompany you three to your rooms, just in case something comes out."
Inuyasha looked at Miroku, "You're not coming upstairs," but in the end Miroku did go upstairs with them.
The whole trip upstairs nothing unusual happened. Finally, the group made it back to the rooms. They all stood there for a second before exchanging their goodbyes, but before anyone left Sango noticed something.
"What's that?" Sango asked pointing in the direction she was looking.
There appeared to be a shadowy figure walking towards them. Inuyasha turned and shone the light on the figure, but the light seemed to go straight through the figure. Inuyasha lowered the light and took a good look at it. It appeared to have a human shape, but the light went through it like it was fog. Inuyasha shone the light on the figure again just to be sure he wasn't seeing things, but he wasn't. The figure kept coming towards them, and then they all heard a loud frantic pounding on the wall and a small moaning sound.
That was their cue to get out of the hallway. The four of them split and jumped into their rooms. Kagome slammed the door behind her and locked it, then ran and jumped onto her bed. Inuyasha stood by the doorway and slowly followed Kagome. He sat on his bed and looked over at her.
"That was scary," Kagome said panting.
"Feh," Inuyasha replied.
Kagome looked at the clock (it's one of those digital clocks that you can see the numbers in the dark) and looked back at Inuyasha. "We should probably get some sleep. It's late and school starts in less than five hours."
"Whatever," Inuyasha went and grabbed something to sleep in, then tossed the flashlight to Kagome so that she could find her clothes and went into the bathroom to change.
When he came back out Kagome was dressed and was sitting on his bed.
"Hey, why are you sitting on my bed? You have your own," he said walking over to her.
"Sorry, I'm just still a little scared, I guess. It's not everyday I see a ghost."
"That wasn't a ghost, it was probably just some fog," Inuyasha said.
"That got into the school?"
Inuyasha didn't answer he just sat beside Kagome. "Look you don't need to be scared, it's ok, nothing's going to come in here. Besides, if something did come in here, I'd go and kick its ass."
"Yeah, right." Kagome got up and went back to her bed.
Inuyasha got under the covers of his own bed.
"Good night," Kagome said before turning over and drifting to sleep.
"Night," Inuyasha responded.

Next morning Inuyasha was woken up by the sound of rustling leaves. He got up and looked out the window to see Miroku sitting in a tree close to his window. Inuyasha walked over to the window and opened it.
"Miroku, what the hell are you doing in that tree? Are you spying on someone?" Inuyasha asked.
"No, no, nothing like that!" Miroku said. "I kind of, stayed the night in Sango's room and-"
"What!" Inuyasha interjected.
"Nothing happened!" Miroku said shaking his hands in front of him for emphasis. "It's just that after that figure showed up I ran with Sango into her room, and stayed in the other bed. You know, to protect her."
"Someone needs to protect her from you," Inuyasha said. "So, why are you in a tree?"
"Well, since it's morning and people are walking around the halls, and guys aren't allowed in this part of the building, I had to go out discretely. Unfortunately, the only way to do that was to climb out through the window and climb down this tree."
"And this doesn't look suspicious one bit," Inuyasha said sarcastically.
At this point the loud talking caused Kagome to wake up and find out what was making all the noise. "Miroku! What are you doing in that tree?"
Miroku sighed. "I'd like to tell you, but unfortunately I have to get going. Don't want to be late for classes." Miroku started to cautiously climb down the tall tree almost falling a few times.
Inuyasha and Kagome watched him as he descended and ran across the lawn towards the college dorms.
"Um, Inuyasha, would you mind explaining why Miroku was in that tree?" Kagome asked.
"Later, it's time for class." Inuyasha grabbed his uniform and went into the bathroom to change.

It seemed that neither Kagome, Inuyasha, or Sango could concentrate on anything that morning. They didn't get that much sleep and got into trouble a few times for sleeping in class, and of course none of the teachers believed the ghost story. It was especially hard to stay awake during gym class. They had a running test, which usually Inuyasha would be the best in, if he wasn't practically falling asleep in the middle of running.
After all their classes were finished, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sango all went into Sango's room and flopped down on the beds.
"How about a movie?" Sango asked. "I've only got a few with me, but the ones that I have are pretty good."
Sango room, like all the other rooms, had a TV in it, but she had brought her own VCR and hooked it up to the TV. When the three of them agreed on a movie, they popped it into the VCR and went to sit on the beds. Since every room only had two beds, Kagome and Inuyasha had to sit on the same one.
Since they were all so tired from the night before, they all fell asleep before they finished the movie. Sango laid stretched out on her bed, and Kagome fell asleep with her head resting on Inuyasha's sleeping body.
