Chapter Thirteen- Showdown at School

They walked away, and InuYasha saw the whole thing.

Kagome… InuYasha growled a bit, and then jumped back to Kagome's room. After quite a bit, Kagome finally came home around ten, and she saw a note on the door.

Kagome,

Ji-chan, Souta and I went on vacation if you forgot. I got Buyo into a cat hotel, so you don't have to take care of him. Sorry we couldn't take you…

Have fun at the house, and don't make a mess. Bring your friends over if you wish.

Love

Mama

Kagome smiled and took the note off the door. Kagome at first wondered why she hadn't seen it before, but then remembered that the guy in the red outfit brought her home through the window. She chuckled a bit as she closed the door. There was silence, and there weren't any lights on except for the light emitted from her room. She went upstairs and into her room, to see the guy in red staring at her.

"Hi." Kagome said as she put down all her stuff. InuYasha didn't say anything.

"Do you want to stay in Souta's room for tonight? I forgot my family was out of town, so their rooms are free." Kagome explained. InuYasha didn't say anything. Kagome sighed and went to him. InuYasha was on the floor next to the bed, and so Kagome sat against her bed too.

"You okay?" She asked.

"Hmh." Was InuYasha's reply. Kagome looked at him. InuYasha on the other hand, was trying to avoid eye contact.

"What happened?" Kagome asked again. InuYasha stayed motionless. Kagome forced a half smile out, even though he didn't see.

I guess he feels bad that I don't remember him… if my memories were taken away that is…

"Who are you?" Kagome decided to bring up. InuYasha turned around.

"It doesn't matter who I am. You don't even know who you are." InuYasha countered in a matter-of-factly voice.

"What do you mean?"

"Keh. Forget it."

"No. Let's not forget it. If it's something important, I want to remember." Kagome pleaded. InuYasha didn't say anything.

"Just tell me who you are. You keep appearing in my visions and dreams. You have to be someone important to me." Kagome continued. "Please? I only want your name."

"You won't believe me anyways, wench. You didn't believe me for the Shikon no Tama. You won't believe me for my name." Kagome was about to say something, when she noticed the Tetsusaiga that he was holding.

"If that truly is Tetsusaiga, then you must be a descendant of InuYasha." Kagome concluded. InuYasha forced a smile out.

"I thought those nut-bucks of yours said that InuYasha was a legend." Kagome wondered what he said, and then figured it out.

"Oh. You mean my notebooks."

"Keh. Whatever."

"Just because they're legends doesn't mean they aren't real. A story can always be fact. And besides. Tetsusaiga right in front of me is proof, right?"

"The Shikon no Tama was proof."

"Well… there are many jewels out there that are pink."

"And there are other swords that look as shitty as Tetsusaiga too." InuYasha countered. Kagome giggled a bit.

"Well. This one looks close enough to the pictured Tetsusaiga in our textbook. The Shikon Jewel didn't have a picture, so how would I know what it looks like?" Kagome countered. InuYasha paused for a moment.

The jewel came from you Kagome… how could you not know how it looks like?

"Keh."

"So what is your name?" Kagome asked.

"Inu…Yasha." He said, hesitant. Kagome smiled.

"So you are a descendant of the Legendary InuYasha. I bet you're the oldest son." Kagome said, smiling. InuYasha sighed.

"No. I am InuYasha."

"Yeah. InuYasha." InuYasha rolled his eyes. Apparently, Kagome didn't get it.

Loosing her memory must have made her dumb…

"No. 'Legendary' InuYasha." Kagome's eyes widened. Then she blinked.

"No… you died fifty-six years ago. There's no way you're here…" InuYasha shrugged.

"See wench, you don't believe me." Kagome shook her head, and grabbed her backpack, and took out her book.

"You mean to tell me, that the character in here, is you?" InuYasha took the book from her hand.

"The Legend of the Celestial Being?" InuYasha asked, reading the title. Kagome nodded her head. "By: Rumiko Takahashi." InuYasha read, and then flipped through the book.

Kami, does this bring back memories…InuYasha chuckled, and blushed a bit at the memories.

"InuYasha… I like you just the way you are."

"Baka. I'll stay a hanyou a little longer, just for you."

"I guess I am." InuYasha concluded, and handed the book back to her. Kagome took it before asking.

"Am I the Kagome in the book?" She asked tentatively. InuYasha nodded. Kagome looked into his golden eyes.

"Were we… together?" Kagome asked. InuYasha nodded.

Of course… we were together on all our trips.

"So… we were boyfriend and girlfriend?" Kagome asked, disbelieving it. InuYasha nodded again.

We were friends…right?

"Were we engaged?" Kagome asked. InuYasha nodded.

We were so engaged in our journey for the shards… until she kept going back to her sk-oll.

"When were we going to get married?" InuYasha paused.

How in the world did it jump from being friends to all this human marriage crap?

"I… we... well… when? I don't know. We weren't planning on it." InuYasha replied truthfully.

"But if we were engaged…" Kagome trailed off. InuYasha blushed.

"Not that kind of engaged. I thought you meant something else." Kagome sighed.

"What now?" She muttered. I have InuYasha in my forgotten memories, and InuYasha right now as my boyfriend… InuYasha brought his arm around Kagome's shoulder. Kagome looked up, and InuYasha looked down.

"It's okay, Kagome." Kagome shook her head.

"It's not okay! All this time I didn't even know I loved someone else, and then I get someone that's a look alike…" Kagome sniffled.

She loved me?

"Why were my memories erased anyways?" InuYasha sighed.

"Get some rest Kagome." Kagome shook her head.

"I can't sleep now. I want to know what's going on!"

"It's okay Kagome."

"It is not!"

"It's not like we were courting each other or anything." Kagome paused.

"You said we were together…"

"We were together on the journey to find the shards. That doesn't mean I was courting you." Kagome sighed in relief. InuYasha at that moment pulled Kagome on her back and jumped out her window with the jewel shard.

"Where are you taking me InuYasha?" InuYasha couldn't help but feel some pride that he got his name back.

"We're going back to feudal Japan. You're going to meet some people that have been waiting to meet you." Kagome looked puzzled in InuYasha's hair.

"What do you mean? We're going to travel back in time?" InuYasha didn't say anything as he jumped down the well. A blue light surrounded them. Kagome's eyes widened.

My god… I remember this light… did I always travel back in time? When it stopped glowing, InuYasha jumped out the well, and started running down the trail. Kagome looked around her. She saw familiar trees and the village ahead looked familiar as well.

I was here before…I have a faint remembrance of this…When InuYasha reached Kaede's hut, he let Kagome down. InuYasha took Kagome's hand, and took her in.

"Hey every—…" InuYasha paused. They were asleep. InuYasha turned to Kagome. "Say osuwari." Kagome cocked her head.

"Why?"

"Just say it." InuYasha ordered. He didn't care about the pain. He wanted to feel Kagome as part of him again. Kagome slowly nodded.

"Osuwari." Kagome muttered, and InuYasha kissed the ground. When he got up and rubbed his cheek, eyes started opening. Kirara and Shippo were the first to wake up.

"KAGOME!" Shippo shouted, and jumped into her arms. Kirara landed on her shoulder and mewed.

"Oh my! So Kawaii!" Kagome said, petting them. InuYasha couldn't help but smirk. Miroku was the next to come out.

"Kagome? Kagome!" Miroku turned around. "Sango dear! It's Kagome-Sama!" Miroku went up to Kagome and hugged Kagome, squishing Shippo as Kirara jumped off.

"Hello monk. Do I know yo—. AAIIEEE!" Kagome shouted. Sango got out.

"Kagome! You're finally back! How'd you get through the well? Did Miroku touch you again?"

SLAP
KICK

"IDIOT!"

PUNCH

"Oh Kagome! We all missed you so much!" Kagome paused.

"You two look so much like Sango and Miroku." Kagome said, pointing at them. They exchanged looks, and Sango spoke up.

"We are Sango and Miroku." Kagome paused and turned to InuYasha.

"You told me we went back in time! But they're here!" InuYasha paused.

"Yeah. Sango and Miroku. How'd you remember them?" Kagome cocked her head.

"What do you mean? They're in my school!" Kagome said. InuYasha then instantly remembered the Sango and Miroku he had seen earlier that day.

"Kagome, what are you talking about?" Shippo asked. Kagome looked down.

"And who are you? Such a cute little raccoon." Shippo paused, and InuYasha butt in.

"He's a fox demon. His name's Shippo. He's a brat, and you always sit me for hitting him on the head." InuYasha then turned to Shippo and the others.

"Kagome's memories have been taken away from Naraku. She doesn't remember much of anything." There was silence.

……………………………………………………………

"Kagome! Where're you going?" InuYasha shouted. It was now the next day, and Kagome was running towards the well.

"I want to get back home. I have school tomorrow. InuYasha growled.

"No. You're staying here and getting your memories back." Kagome shook her head.

"I'll come back next weekend." Kagome said, and then paused. "All I do is jump down, right? I won't hurt myself or anything?" InuYasha rolled his eyes. He jumped in and pulled Kagome with him. When they reached the other side, InuYasha jumped out with Kagome and then set her down on the ground.

"Yes. You just jump. As long as you have a shard, you jump." Kagome nodded and they went home.

The next day, Kagome woke up to her ringing alarm clock. She reached to turn it off, but couldn't feel it. She opened her eyes just in time to see InuYasha lower his arm as a clank was heard outside. She sat up and glared at him.

"What?"

"Did you just chuck out my alarm clock?"

"What's an ah-larm kuh-lok?" InuYasha asked. Kagome sighed.

"That thing that you threw out."

"Well, if you knew that I threw it out, then why are you asking me?"

"Forget it."

"What'd I do this time?"

"I have to buy a new alarm clock this time."

"So what?"

"So nothing. I'm getting breakfast." InuYasha paused.

"Bek-fest?" Kagome rolled her eyes.

"I'm getting something to eat."

"Can I have Ramen again?" InuYasha asked, grinning hopefully.

"Who eats Ramen in the morning?"

"Me." Kagome sighed, but got the Ramen anyways.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey toots." Came a familiar voice from behind. Kagome smiled and turned around.

"Hi InuYasha." Kagome replied as she sat down next to the tree. Takahashi sat next to her.

"So." He kissed her before continuing. "Nothing happened, right?" Kagome turned to him.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean with that other dude. The imposter. Nothing happened, right?" Kagome shook her head.

"Of course not."

"But he said that he was your boyfriend." Takahashi countered. Kagome shook her head.

"Misunderstanding. We weren't together." Kagome said, and she laid her head on Takahashi's shoulder. He hugged back.

…………

"Kagome! Your 'shool' is finally over!" InuYasha yelled, running as Kagome and Takahashi got out. Takahashi grumbled, but Kagome smiled and nodded.

"About time."

"What are you talking about?" Takahashi asked.

"She's always coming to shool."

"So?"

"So, it's stupid."

"Well, I agree with you there…" InuYasha paused.

"You do?"

"Of course. School's a bore. I always fall asleep."

"You can sleep in shool?"

"No." Kagome interrupted. "But he can." Takahashi laughed and kissed her. InuYasha growled lowly, so that Kagome didn't hear, but Takahashi did.

"What?"

"Don't kiss her like you're courting her."

"I'll kiss her if I want. And I am courting her."

"Keh."

Kagome took this time when they were fighting to walk away a little.

They are always fighting…it's so stupid. There was a rustle in the bushes behind Kagome. She was about to turn around, when strong hands took her to the side of the school building. Kagome opened her eyes to see the same guy from the dance, along with six other people. One of them being Jakotsu. Kagome tried to scream, but was muffled.

"Hey beautiful." The guy said. Kagome's breath became uneven. Bankotsu watched her chest rise and fall heavily as he held her against the wall. She was scared. Just like he wanted.

"You're very pretty, you know?" Bankotsu said, smirking. Kagome felt a shiver as he breathed down her throat.

"Remember me?" Bankotsu asked. Kagome nodded. "Remember what happened Friday at the dance?" Kagome nodded again. "Unless you want that to happen again, you stay away from InuYasha got it?" Kagome didn't respond. The rest of the six people got closer as Bankotsu frowned.

"Your last warning." Bankotsu said, kissing Kagome. She squirmed and kicked him, but Bankotsu didn't budge. "Stay away from InuYasha, Kagome."

"Which one?" A mad voice asked behind his back. Bankotsu turned around and Kagome cocked her head to see both InuYashas standing in front of the seven. Jakotsu squealed.

"Oh my god! There's two InuYashas! They both look so sexy!" Takahashi pretended to gag as InuYasha took out Tetsusaiga. It transformed into the big sword that it was.

"Don't sicken me Jakotsu." InuYasha yelled.

"Ah! He knows my name!" InuYasha sweat dropped. Bankotsu let go of Kagome and she ran to Takahashi, who embraced her with open arms.

"InuYasha." Kagome said, but it was muffled in his chest. Takahashi pet her hair. InuYasha growled as Bankotsu stepped forward.

"Well, well, well. Looks like it's two against seven." Bankotsu smirked. "The odds are against you. You sure that sword of yours can hold up?"

"Keh. One swipe of Kaze no Kizu and you'll all disappear. Besides, you're nothing like the Band of Seven." InuYasha spat. Bankotsu smiled.

"You're talking about my ancestor that died in Mt. Hakurei?" InuYasha paused. Ancestor? They're related?

"I wonder if you've met his Banryuu." InuYasha tensed.

"Keh. Of course. You have to lug that sword now?" Kagome tightened in Takahashi's arms.

"You alright babe?" Kagome nodded.

"I'm fine." Not really. If legends are correct, Banryuu has Bankotsu's revengeful spirit inside.

"Of course. But not 'lug' in necessarily." Bankotsu replied, smirking. He put his hand behind his back and pulled out Banyruu. It pulsed after sensing InuYasha, and a purple glow highlighted the sword. "If I didn't have this sword, how would I be the scariest gang in this quaint town of Tokyo?"

InuYasha… we meet again…InuYasha heard the sword say. It was Bankotsu's voice.

I never thought I'd hear that voice again…InuYasha thought.

"Keh. This will be all the more fun." InuYasha said, and raised his sword.

"Kaze no Kizu!" Four yellow streaks flew towards Bankotsu. He put Banryuu in front and blocked it.

He blocked it? Bankotsu grinned.

"I guess the old man knew your old tricks." Bankotsu raised his sword, and was about to smash it onto InuYasha when Jakotsu stopped him.

"Chotto matte!"

"What?"

"Don't kill him. He's too hot. I want him." Bankotsu glared at him as Banyruu disappeared.

"You're pathetic." He murmured. "Alright. Fine. You five can hurt him. Don't kill him, and then bring Kagome to me." He motioned to the others, then walked away. Takahashi left Kagome.

"Stay here, sweetheart."

"InuYasha…" Takahashi walked up next to InuYasha.

"Finally decided to leave her alone?" InuYasha growled through his teeth as he put away Tetsusaiga.

"Shut your trap. And why are you putting away your damn sword?"

"Keh. They're easy. I'll be done quickly." He said, cracking his knuckles.

"Sankontessou!"

…………………………………………………………………

"Told you it was easy." InuYasha said. Takahashi now held Kagome again in his hands, both of them eyes wide. Minor blood was on the ground, and all six were unconscious. Jakotsu was hurt the most, cause he sickened InuYasha the most.

"Now let's leave before Bankotsu comes back." Takahashi said, pulling Kagome. InuYasha gawked.

"We're just going to run away?" But Takahashi already left with Kagome and headed for his car. InuYasha grumbled as he followed.

Hey. That wasn't too bad, right? Well... I'm think that there will be like... three more chapters and an epilogue. Tell me what you think!

NEXT TIME: To Get Her Memories.
