Chapter Three- InuYasha… Meet the Internet! Part One
"Not really the bright one, are you?" Akashio joked. InuYasha sniggered as he walked back to Kagome's side, and Koga glared at her, pulling his hand away.
"You're not that smart either. What dumb way is this to say hi?" Koga spat, but Akashio just giggled.
"You know what they say, Kagome." Akashio laughed. "No brains, all brawn." Koga glared at her.
"What about you? You're stupid and ugly." He spat. Akashio smiled.
"Oh really? You're not exactly good looking yourself either."
"Whatever. Kagome's prettier than you." Koga continued. Kagome blushed, and InuYasha blinked.
At least that wolf has some taste…
"Oh?" Akashio said. "Does someone have a wittle crush on Kaggie?"
"It's not a crush. She's my woman." Koga announced.
THUD
"Say that again, I'll push you into the sea." InuYasha spat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the next few hours, they were out at sea, getting to know each other. Miroku and everyone were on the side of the ship, talking about how weird Kagome's time was, and Shippo was trying to not get seasick. Kagome stayed with Akashio on the dock for some catching up.
"Kagome…"
"Yeah, Akashio?"
"Why are all of your friends wearing feudal clothing?" Kagome bit her lip. She looked out into the sea, and hoped that the silence would help them forget the question. It didn't.
"Hey! Kagome!" InuYasha shouted out. Kagome and Akashio turned around, and saw him coming over to the dock.
"Hi InuYasha."
"Hey… InuYasha…" Akashio started. "Why do you wear feudal era clothing?"
"Feudal… era?"
"She means the robe that you're wearing, InuYasha." Kagome explained. InuYasha nodded in understanding.
"The robe of the fire rat is the only clothing I have. It's actually the only thing I have, besides this rosary and Tetsusaiga." Akashio's eyes widened and turned to Kagome.
"You're with a hobo?"
"What's a hobo?" InuYasha asked.
"It's a person with no money, food, or home." Kagome explained.
"Oh." InuYasha said. "…is being a hobo… bad?"
"Well…"
"Yeah, it's bad!" Akashio exclaimed. "I can't believe you're in love with a hobo, Kagome!"
"Akashio… InuYasha's not really a—."
"Which hobo?" InuYasha asked, raising a brow.
"What do you mean, 'which hobo'?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah… there's more than one?" Akashio added.
"You said a hobo is someone without a home, money, or food, right?"
"… Yeah…"
"So isn't everyone else also a hobo?" InuYasha concluded, feeling smart. Kagome sweat dropped.
"How do you guys survive without anything?" Akashio exclaimed.
"We have ways to get food… and we sometimes stay in other villager's houses." InuYasha explained. Kagome would smack her head if her arm wasn't injured.
You had to use the word villagers… there are no more villagers… baka…
"Villagers?" Akashio asked. "You crash into other people's houses?"
"No. We just stay overnight." InuYasha said.
"Yeah. Crash into other people's house overnight." InuYasha raised a brow.
"Keh. Whatever." He turned to Kagome and put up another scowl.
"You should be in bed." InuYasha said.
"I'm just standing here, InuYasha." Kagome reasoned.
"You aren't supposed to be up! Get to bed and get some rest!"
"It's okay Kagome… you can go." Akashio interrupted. "I'll go and meet up with your other friends. You can head on in with InuYasha. We'll arrive at Japan in around half an hour." Kagome sighed and reluctantly agreed.
"Alright." Kagome said, caving in. InuYasha bent over and picked Kagome up bridal style carefully, so he won't hurt her wounds, and then walked into the room they were in before… after kicking the door down.
"You're going to pay for that door, hobo!" Akashio shouted after them. She smiled afterwards though.
They look so cute together…
She walked over to where Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kirara, Myoga, and Koga were.
"Hey everyone."
"Hi, Akashio-Sama."
"Akashio…"
"Mew."
"Augh…"
"Hello."
"Hmph."
Akashio smiled at everyone, and then picked up Shippo.
"Is someone sea-sick?" She asked. Shippo nodded weakly. Akashio patted his head, and then stared at him.
"Why do you have a tail?" Shippo shrugged, and then jumped off Akashio's arms and back to the side of the ship.
"If you're seasick, you shouldn't look out into the sea. It makes it worse." She suggested.
"Then what should he do?" Koga asked, interested. Akashio looked up.
"He should lie down and close his eyes. If he can't see anything, it's better for his stomach." Shippo did as he was told, and soon fell asleep.
"He should be fine now…" Akashio concluded.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"InuYasha… what will we do?" Kagome asked. InuYasha sat next to her on the side of the bed.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean… If the well's broken… does that mean that everyone will stay here forever?"
"Does it matter?" InuYasha asked. "You don't want us to?" Kagome shook her head.
"It's not that… it's just…" Kagome looked for the right words to say. "I don't want the secret of me going from world to world to get out." Kagome said. InuYasha smiled.
"Don't worry about that. Everyone can wear a hat like I do." Kagome smiled at the simpleton in front of her.
"I don't know where everyone's going to stay…" Kagome said. InuYasha shrugged.
"That friend of yours has her own home, right?"
"Yeah, but I'm talking about everyone else."
"Koga doesn't need a place. He can crawl under a rock for all I care." InuYasha spat. "And it's not like Sesshoumaru and his gang needs a place."
"I heard that." came a growl. In came Sesshoumaru, Jaken, and Rin walking toward the two.
"He was just kidding around." Kagome said.
"No I wasn't." Kagome gave him a hard nudge with her elbow. "Ow." InuYasha growled before looking up.
"What are you doing here anyways? Aren't you supposed to be outside with everyone else?" InuYasha yelled. Jaken stepped up to him with a glare.
"Don't talk to Lord Sesshoumaru that way." He declared before receiving a smack on the head.
"I wasn't talking to you frog-face."
"I'm a toad!" Jaken muffled out.
"Keh."
Rin went up to Kagome and smiled up to her.
"Kagome-Sama… are you sure you're alright?" Rin asked. Kagome nodded with a smile.
"I'm fine, Rin… really."
"That's good, cause Akashio-Sama just told me that we are arriving in a place called 'Towkaio' in a few minutes." Kagome wondered what she said with a raised brow.
"OH! You mean Tokyo." Kagome corrected. Sesshoumaru just stood there, not saying anything, until InuYasha spoke up again.
"Why are you in here?" InuYasha asked. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes.
"You don't have to get this touchy about spending 'alone' time with her, little brother."
"Will you stop with the little brother crap? What ever happened to my name? I have a name, you know!"
"Kagome!" A voice called out, interrupting everything. They all looked up and saw Akashio standing there with her finger pointing somewhere else.
"We're arriving now." She said.
"Already? I thought you said around half an hour…" Kagome reminded.
"Oh well…" Akashio said, waving her hand. "So I was off by fifteen minutes." Kagome smiled as she tried to get off the bed. She almost succeeded, until InuYasha pulled her back down.
"Where are you going?" InuYasha asked.
"C'mon InuYasha." Akashio said, pulling Kagome up. "Lay off. You can be so overprotective sometimes." She joked, and then walked out with a limping Kagome. InuYasha clenched his fist.
"Keh. I could care less." InuYasha spat.
"There's no point in lying when no one can hear you, little brother."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wai! Look at the view!" Kagome shouted. She pointed towards dock as InuYasha came out with Sesshoumaru and Jaken. Rin stayed with Shippo, who had just woken up. Akashio was standing next to Kagome.
"Yes. It's really nice, neh? I've been sailing for years, and I still can't get enough of it." Akashio said with a smile. Koga stood next to Akashio with a weird look on his face.
"I don't see anything special about this."
"Yeah, cause an idiot like you wouldn't see anything at all." Akashio countered. InuYasha snickered again as he stood next to Kagome, his elbow resting on the rail. The wind blew slightly, having Kagome's hair tickling InuYasha's nose. This caused him to look her way, and smile.
Kagome…
When they arrived, Akashio tied the boat to the dock, and everyone filed out.
"Where are we?" Sango asked. Akashio turned around.
"We're at Tokyo Bay. You walk east for half an hour and you'll reach Tokyo Disneyland." Akashio said, pointing east.
"Daze neh?" Miroku tried to repeat. Akashio and Kagome laughed.
"Disney, Miroku." Kagome said. "We can go there sometime, but let's go to my house first." Kagome said. She turned to Akashio, who looked back at her with a smile.
"Which way do we walk?" Kagome asked. Akashio shook her head.
"You are in no condition to walk for a whole ten miles, Kagome." InuYasha saw that as a cue to pick her up, but Kagome resisted.
"I've walked more before, Akashio." Kagome answered. Akashio shook her head.
"No, Kagome. As your childhood friend, I will not allow it." Akashio said. "And I bet you anything that your boyfriend won't let you either." Kagome looked at InuYasha, who nodded his head. She sweat dropped.
Does he even know what a boyfriend is?
Kagome sighed and caved in, so InuYasha picked her up bridal style. The people around her looked at them, and Kagome blushed.
"Let's take the bus, yeah?" Akashio suggested. Kagome nodded, but everyone looked at her weirdly.
"Bus?" Shippo asked. "That's a funny word." Rin nodded.
"Indeed, Akashio-Sama. What is a bus?" Akashio looked down at the little girl with a raised eyebrow.
"You don't know what a bus is?" Rin shook her head. Kagome grabbed InuYasha's robe tightly, and InuYasha wondered what was wrong.
"What's wrong, Kagome?" Kagome shook her head.
"Nothing."
"A bus is a type of car that's used for public transportation." Akashio explained, and then continued walking. Everyone else followed, and Kagome let out a deep breath.
Thank goodness Akashio's usually oblivious to things…
All –counts the characters- twelve of them went to the bus stop. When the bus came, Koga coughed and InuYasha growled… while holding his breath. Sesshoumaru winced, but didn't say much. ((Reminder that Sesshoumaru is OOC in this story))
"What is this?" Koga wheezed.
"It's a bus, retard." Akashio said, and then got on. Everyone followed suit, InuYasha being the last one. They all took a seat, and the bus started driving down the street. They were all amazed at this 'bus'.
"This is amazing." Sango concluded.
"Yes, Sango-koishii. Kagome's time is very remarkable." Miroku added.
"Mew."
"I can't help but wonder if this is a demon." Myoga wondered, jumping up and down on Shippo's head. Rin took a seat behind them, and shook her legs back and forth.
"This is so much fun, Sesshoumaru-Sama!" Rin shouted with joy. Sesshoumaru took a seat next to her but said nothing. Akashio took a seat next to Koga, and InuYasha and Kagome sat in the seat behind them. Kagome tried to not notice the other people in the bus that were staring that them.
"Look at them." She heard one whisper.
"I know. I wonder where they got those clothes…"
"That girl looks like she was kidnapped from the hospital…"
"Gosh… that guy looks so hot!"
"I know. I wonder why he's wearing dog ears though…"
"Why is that girl carrying a gigantic boomerang?"
"Is that a cat with two tails?"
"What is that fluff that's next to the guy?"
"Is that green thing even human?"
"What's that dwarf doing with an oversized staff?"
"Why does the monk have hair?"
"Is that guy wearing a fur skirt?"
"Is that old person a guy, or a girl?"
"It's a girl. Can't you tell by her eye shadow?"
"But she looks like a guy… kinda."
"She has long fingernails too!"
"But… are you sure it's a she?"
InuYasha snickered, hearing those questions about Sesshoumaru. Kagome sighed, and looked out the window. As she looked out, her eyes widened and she let out a small gasp.
Oh… My…God…
Outside the bus, Kagome swore she saw two or three demons whiz by.
Hopefully… it's nothing…
When they arrived around ten minutes later, Kagome was so happy to finally get off.
"You still live at the shrine, right?" Akashio asked. Kagome nodded and headed toward the shrine steps.
"You live at a shrine, Kagome-Sama?" Miroku asked, interested. Kagome nodded as they reached the top.
"Our family owns the Higurashi Shrine, which is where the Bone Eater's Well is." She turned around, and gasped, seeing the well house smashed into pieces.
"Is something wrong, Kagome?" Sango asked. Kagome shook her head, and walked towards the house with InuYasha by her side. Everyone else followed, but InuYasha noticed it.
"What happened to the well?" He asked. Kagome shook her head.
"I don't know." Kagome said as she opened the door.
"I'm back, Mama!" Kagome shouted in. Mrs. Higurashi came out of the kitchen with a towel in her hands.
"Kagome! Welcome home." She greeted. "Hi, InuYasha. Did you escort her all the way back?"
"Mama… is it alright if my friends stay here?" Kagome asked. Mrs. Higurashi blinked.
"Friends? You brought friends with you?" She asked. Kagome nodded.
"Yeah. I brought ten of them."
"Do any of them have cute ears?" InuYasha wiggled his, knowing she was talking about his ears. Kagome thought for a moment, but then shook her head.
"I don't think so." She replied.
"Oh well." Mrs. Higurashi said. "It's alright. It was worth a try."
"So can they stay?"
"All ten of them?"
"Is that too much, mama?"
"Do they mind sleeping on the couch?"
"I don't think they will…"
"Then it should be alright…" Kagome hugged her mother tightly.
"Arigatou, mama."
"It's alright, Kagome. If your friends want to stay, then they can sta—."
"Demons, begone!" They heard Kagome's grandpa shout outside. Kagome quickly went back outside, and saw her grandpa sticking sutras on Shippo and Kirara. Shippo backed away, and Kirara hissed.
"Grandpa! Don't do that! They're my friends!" Kagome shouted. Her grandfather looked up.
"They are demons, I tell you! DEMO—."
"Where'd you get these sutras?" Miroku asked, taking one off Shippo.
"They are handed down by the Higurashi family." Her grandpa said proudly.
"That don't work!" Kagome added.
"They don't?" Miroku asked. "They should."
"They do!" Grandpa countered. "They haven't failed me before!"
"Except for the time InuYasha came through the well." Kagome recalled.
"These should work." Miroku said, examining it. "Let me try." Miroku held the piece of paper in between his forefingers and chanted a chant… of some sort. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and threw it on InuYasha's forehead.
"AAHHH!"
Kagome's eyes widened as the sutra disappeared, and InuYasha fell on the ground.
"What did you do?" Kagome shouted. Miroku sweat dropped.
"It's a paralyzing sutra. He'll start moving again after a while." Miroku reassured.
"Hail the great monk!" Grandpa said, and kneeled before Miroku, who sweat dropped.
"Please get up, kind sir." Miroku said.
Before you break your back. He added mentally. Kagome pulled Miroku aside.
"How did you do that?" Kagome asked in a whisper.
"What do you mean? I do it all the time, Kagome-Sama." He replied.
"But my grandpa can never do that."
"That's probably because he has no power." Miroku concluded.
"Kagome!" She heard her mother shout.
"Hai, mama!" Mrs. Higurashi came out the door.
"I got a computer for the family, so you can try it out sometime." Kagome nodded.
"Hai, mama."
"And Kagome?"
"Yes?"
"Please pick InuYasha up from the floor."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night, after everyone settled in and ate a big dinner, Kagome turned on the computer to try it out like her mother asked. InuYasha came from behind.
"What's this?" He asked. Kagome turned around.
"It's a computer."
"A cumputor?"
"Computer." Kagome corrected.
"What does it do?" InuYasha asked, looking at the screen.
"A lot of things. Let's see…" Kagome went down to the start button and clicked on it.
"We have… games, and music, and the internet, and—."
"What's an internet?" InuYasha asked.
"It's…" Kagome wondered how to explain it to him as Akashio walked in.
"Hey Kagome. InuYasha." She greeted as she walked towards them. "Are you guys going online?"
"On… line?" InuYasha asked. Kagome shook her head.
"I don't think so…" Kagome replied.
"Why not, Kagome?" Akashio asked.
"Well… there's nothing much to do…" Kagome replied.
"Chat with other people." Akashio suggested. Kagome gawked.
No! No way… no… InuYasha can NOT chat… no… no… no…
"I don't think—."
"You chat with other people using a cumutor?" InuYasha interrupted.
"Computer." Kagome corrected again. "And yes, you can… but—."
"Can I try?"
"You mean… you've never chatted online before?" Akashio gasped. InuYasha shook his head. She turned to Kagome with a serious look on her face.
"You need to teach this hobo how to use the internet." Akashio concluded.
"But there's so much… and I hardly use the internet myself… and—."
"At least teach him how to use the search engine, and chat with other people." Akashio reasoned.
"Akashio… no. I mean—."
"Kagome. Be a good girlfriend, and teach your boyfriend how to use the internet!"
"Yeah, Kagome." InuYasha interrupted. "Be a good girlfriend, and teach me how to use the internet." Kagome blushed into a clear shade of pink.
I really need to teach him what a girlfriend and a boyfriend are.
She actually wanted to 'sit' him right there, but she didn't want to raise questions coming from Akashio. Reluctantly, she opened the internet window, and sighed.
Nothing good's going to come out of this… I just know it.

Ja!

P.S. Just a side note... I took out the blushing Koga part... but I'm going to put it back in for the next chapter. It fits better that way.
