Chapter 9: Police
"Yuka, I can't really explain what just happened. It's complicated", Kagome said.
"B-but, that was nearly impossible", Yuka said, looking at the cut on the road once more.
In a matter of seconds, the news reporters came and shot questions at Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru.
One of the news reporters held a microphone to Inu Yasha and asked, "where is it that you got your miraculous sword?"
Inu Yasha sheathed his Tetsusaiga and said, "why is it that you want to know?"
Kagome sighed. They were saved from the flood of questions by the police, who made the three of them get into their car. In a matter of minutes, they were in front of the police station. Kagome, Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru were seated in three chairs while a police officer came up to them. He had blonde hair and dark gray eyes and looked to be around his thirties.
"I am officer Louis", he said to them. "Now, I want you to be open with me and tell me everything you know about this murderer including his facial details."
"Feh. Why are you humans interfering with my battle?" Sesshomaru asked coldly.
"You are making a mistake, Sesshomaru. This is my battle", Inu Yasha said to him. Kagome sighed.
"Now, let's not get into arguements. Do you have a connection with this murderer?" Officer Louis asked.
"Officer Louis, I think it would be best if you left this culprit to us", Kagome said.
"Don't be ridiculous. I will not allow civilians to go catch a criminal on their own. You can get killed.
Sesshomaru got up from his chair and glared at the police officer. "You know nothing of Naraku and I suggest you back off", he said threateningly.
"Is that a threat? You could go to jail for threatening a police officer", Officer Louis said.
Sesshomaru growled. Kagome quickly cut between and said, "I'm sorry Officer. This criminal has long black hair and red eyes. You wouldn't need anymore details because he always has a baboon pelt covering him. If that is all you want, we will be on our way."
"That would be all. I will ask another police officer to escort you to your home. There's a crowd out there", Officer Louis said.
Kagome looked out and sure enough there were people gathered around the police station. Another police officer escorted Kagome, Sesshomaru, and Inu Yasha home in his car. As soon as Kagome got into her house she slumped down on her couch.
"How am I going to face Yuka tomorrow?" she asked herself.
"That human was a pest. Who does he think he is to put me, Sesshomaru, in jail?" Sesshomaru growled as he referred to Officer Louis.
Meanwhile, in the fuedal era, havoc was everywhere. Now that Naraku was no longer there, weaker demons began to come out and attack villages. The western lands went biserk as the ogres that were banished from the lands returned due to the absence of Sesshomaru and began taking over.
"I wonder when Lord Sesshomaru is coming back. His lands are now swarming with the ogres he banished. Order is lost", Jaken said from the castle gardens.
"Master Jaken, when is Lord Sesshomaru coming back", Rin asked from the back of Ah-Un.
"Who knows. Lord Sesshomaru was never gone this long without coming back to his lands", Jaken replied.
"I hope Inu Yasha and Kagome are okay. Naraku is gone and we need their help to find him more than ever", Sango said to Miroku.
"I don't know if they can come back. Anyone is able to travel through the well and if we went over to the other side, we won't have the Shikon shards to come back ourselves", Miroku replied.
The next morining, Kagome got ready for school. She put on her uniform and took her backpack from her bedroom floor.
"You guys stay in the house and do not, I repeat, do not kill eachother", Kagome warned and went out the door. She got on her bike and rode to school and went up to her classroom. All the girls were huddled together and were giggling and gossiping about something. Kagome caught a few sentences like
"did you see the news yesterday?"
"Yeah. Those guys were hot."
"I heard they were living with Kagome."
"Really? She's so lucky!"
As soon as a girl spotted Kagome, the group turned towards her.
"Kagome, who were those guys?" a girl asked.
"They're my relatives", Kagome answered. She decided to stick to that ever since she told it to Yuka.
"Wow. You're so lucky to be living with guys who can protect you without doubt", another girl piped up.
Kagome gave a nervous laugh. "Yeah, I guess."
Everyone took their seats as their teacher came in. "Good morning class. We are going to be putting up a play for the spring festival. I need some voluteers to act out Romeo and Juliet."
Kagome instantly raised her hand. She loved to act out in plays. A few other students raised their hands including Hojo. The teacher put down a list of names and said, "there will be an audition for the parts in room 13B. You may go after school."
Kagome waited impatiently for the bell to ring and as soon as it rang, she jumped out of her seats and went to room 13B with her friends Eri, Ayumi and Yuka who also wanted to participate in the play. One by one they went inside and came out. Hojo came out with a huge grin on her face and said, "I made the Romeo part."
"Congratulations", Kagome said.
"Thanks", Hojo replied.
After a few minutes, it was Kagome turn. She took a deep breath and entered and came out with a grin as big as Hojo's.
"I made the Juliet part!" she said happily.
"You're lucky", Yuka said. "I made the part as Lady Montague, Romeo's Mother.
"I made it as Lady Capulet, Juliet's mother" Eri said.
"I made it as Rosaline. I'm not sure what her character is though", Ayumi said.
Kagome had a huge smile on her face when she came home.
"Why are you so happy?" Inu Yasha asked when Kagome came into the house.
"I made the part as Juliet in my school play", Kagome answered.
"A play?" Sesshomaru asked. He had no idea what a 'play' was.
"Never mind", Kagome said with a sigh. "What did you do while I was gone?" Kagome asked.
"I tried to find Naraku's trail", Inu Yasha said. "But it looks like the idiot is hiding well."
"Wait a minute. You tried to find Naraku's scent?" Kagome asked with disbelief.
------------------flashback------------------------
Inu Yasha went out of the house, adjusting his cap and started sniffing the pavement with his nose to the ground. People stared at him, but he didn't mind. After all, that was common because he was a demon. What he forgot was that his ears were covered and people thought of him as a human walking rather oddly.
"Is that man disabled?" a child about ten years old asked his mother.
"I think so or he wouldn't be walking around like that only to humiliate himself", the mother said back.
Inu Yasha stood up and glared at the woman. "I am not disabled!" he yelled.
"I-I beg your pardon", the woman stammered and walked away quickly.
"Hmph", Inu Yasha said in reply and started back to the house.
-----------------end of flashback------------------
"Unfortunately, I quit because people kept on thinking I was disabled", Inu Yasha replied.
"Pathetic", Sesshomaru said.
"Well why wouldn't they. People start thinking things when they pass a person walking with his nose to the ground", Kagome replied.
Kagome served dinner and Sesshomaru was the first to finish. He went outside to sleep. He wouldn't sleep inside no matter how hard Kagome tried to convince him. Kagome curled up on her bed along with Inu Yasha and fell into a deep slumber. She couldn't wait for the rehearsal of the play coming up tomorrow. What she didn't know was that Inu Yasha was going to come to her school and ruin her day entirely.
A/N: boring chapter, I know. But, please review!
