Chapter 2: The Hanyou In Tokyo
"At least I blend in this time," said InuYasha as he started his search for Kagome. The last few times he had been in Kagome's era, he had looked like he always did, with his while hair and fuzzy ears.
He was currently stalking all around her home, looking for her. He had even climbed in her window, but she hadn't been in her room.
"Where the hell is she?" he grumbled. "Dammit!"
He stalked into Sota's room, grabbed a baseball cap, and stalked back outside and into Tokyo to look for Kagome.
Tokyo in the summer. Millions of people. A hot, uncomfortable place to be. Unfortunately, InuYasha had no other choice. He didn't know how to ride a bike. He didn't know what a taxi was, and even if he did, he had no money. Or know what that was, either.
So there was InuYasha, barefooted and baseball capped, walking through downtown Tokyo. He was wearing his normal clothes, but of course, normal to him meant very odd for all of the citizens of Tokyo. He also had the Tetsaiga. Again, normal for him, but not for the pedestrians.
He was soon lost. "Dammit!" He turned to look down another street, because he still hadn't found Kagome. He figured all was lost, and was ready to return to his era, when a large, ugly man walked past InuYasha, noticed his funny clothes and bare feet, and began to make fun of him.
"Hey, what are you supposed to be, a clown?"
"What did you say?" InuYasha's ego kicked into high gear. He spun around, Sota's cap falling off his head.
"I asked if you're supposed to be a clown. Ypu look so funny..."
Just as the argument was getting underway, a swell of people passed them. Kagome did a double take as she saw InuYasha, in her era, pulling his Tetsaiga on a rather large man.
"What are you doing?" she yelled. InuYasha didn't notice her, but other people were beginning to notice him and his sword. One woman pulled out a cell phone and called the police.
"InuYasha, si--no! Wait, don't!" Kagome whimpered. What could she do? She couldn't "sit" him in the middle of Tokyo. . . All too soon, the police arrived. They relieved the Hanyou of the sword, cuffed him, and took him away, with Kagome trailing behind.
When Kagome walked into the police department, two police officers were talking to InuYasha.
"You get one phone call," one ofthe officers said.
"Phone call?" InuYasha asked. Kagome rushed over.
"I'm his phone call," she said. "Can we talk privately?"
"Of course, ma'am," the officers said. Kagome and InuYasha found some empty chairs and sat down.
"What are you doing here? And more importantly, why would you take out your sword here? This isn't your forest, InuYasha. This is Tokyo! Now you're in trouble and I don't know how to help."
InuYasha blinked, confused. "I thought you were mad at me! Now you want to help? Make up your mind!"
"This isn't about being mad, this is about you being a half demon in a Tokyo police department. You have to go home. But in order for you to do that, I guess I have to post bail. . ."
"Bail?"
"Nevermind. . ."
"Don't be mad at me. Snago and Miroku sent me after you, it was their idea. . ."
"You couldn't even decide to come here yourself?" Forget helping him, now Kagome was even more mad than she had originally been. She was ready to pull out her hair, but she had to calm down. She had to call her mom and she had to post bail. "Just stay here, InuYasha, they aren't going to let you leave anyways."
She stood up and adjusted her skirt. She cast one more dirty look InuYasha's way, and headed for the phone.
They heard a low rumble, and the chairs began to move. The building shook and the lights went out.
InuYasha jumped up, eyes wide. "What's going on?"
"Earthquake!" Kagome cried, turning back toward InuYasha and taking his hand. "Nevermind about bail, we need to leave!" They were rushing about, and so was everyone else. No one noticed them leave.
