A/N: I hope everyone can forgive me for this late chapter. I know I'm way behind on my stories. Summer is just a busy time for me. So I'll try to keep things more up to date now. And here it is the next chapter for Future Life 2!
Chapter 9
The next morning Kagome woke up, but in the back of her mind. The fight between her and InuYasha played over. And rolling over in bed, she found herself alone. "I guess he slept in the other room last night." Kagome said to herself as she felt the empty space beside her. "Well I guess I better get this day started. I am a little excited to see my new friends, and start class. Sigh! But I'm not ready to face InuYasha on this subject again."
And sure enough, the morning started the same way last night ended. She only took a few steps from the bedroom when she saw InuYasha. Arms crossed, and eyes ready to fight. "So what time are we leaving for this college thing of yours?"
A heavy sigh left Kagome's lips. But she didn't answer, which made InuYasha even madder! Not giving him a chance to say anything. She just walked to the bathroom, and turned on the shower. 'What a way to start the day.' Kagome thought as washed up. 'I never even got my stuff I wanted to get from the store. We don't even have groceries, or anything. All we have is our clothes. I wanted to go shopping last night. And in the end, all I did was cry myself to sleep.' A knock on the bathroom door, stopped Kagome's thoughts.
"Kagome we need to talk about last night." Came InuYasha's voice from the other side of the door. She knew this was coming, she just hoped to avoid it as long as she could. "I will when I get out. Can't I even shower without you bothering me?!" After saying this she heard the door slam open. Thank god there was a shower curtain. Because the angry hanyou on the other side. Would've been killed for sure.
"Dammit InuYasha! Why can't you be understanding for once in your life?!" Kagome shouted through the curtain. InuYasha just paused, he really was shocked to hear Kagome swear like that. plus he knew he over stepped his bounds this time.
So he decided to leave things go for now. And set down at the front door of the apartment. 'There's no way in hell she's leaving without me.' InuYasha thought, as he set with arms and legs crossed.
Once Kagome was dress and ready to go. She walked out of the room, only to find the very hanyou she was looking for. As she approached him, she could tell this would be one hell of an argument. And of course it was InuYasha who started it. "God dammit Kagome! Would you just listen to me for once." InuYasha said, as he started to stand.
Not saying anything Kagome started towards the door. Once there she started pushing her way past him. "Come on Kagome we all know you couldn't move me." InuYasha said, as Kagome continued trying to get past him. It was now Kagome wished she never removed the beads from InuYasha's neck.
"InuYasha! I'll be late for class...so...just move...already..." But not matter how hard she pushed, there was no way she could get passed him. Stepping back she crossed her arms. "Fine! What is it going to take to get you to let me go?!"
"Do be stupid Kagome, you know I'm taking you to school. And when you go for lunch, I'm coming too." Knowing she didn't have much of a choice, she agreed.
"Whatever! Let's just get going, I don't want to be late the first day." Kagome said, as she picked up her books. 'I'll think of away past you when I get to school.' Kagome thought as they started out the door.
As Kagome and InuYasha walked to school, three pairs of eyes watched them. Takehiko knew where Kagome was going to school. Since him and Shouhei followed them there yesterday. But today was different. "That's the one that tried to kill me." Takehiko pointed out to the other person sitting in the backseat with him. But the other person just laughed.
"You do realize Takehiko that is not a full-demon." Takehiko just glanced over at his new partner.
"I don't give a shit what that bastard is. He's dead for all I care." Takehiko said, as he pulled his gun And reached for the car door.
A hand grabbed Takehiko's shoulder stopping him. "Now you do remember that bullets do not hurt this creature."
Takehiko was growling mad, he wanted to shoot the hell out this man or beast that mangled his face. "And just what the hell will kill him?!" Takehiko turned and asked the man holding him back.
Pulling a small box from his pocket, Takehiko only watched as his partner opened the lid. Inside were six bullets. "Um...didn't you just say bullets don't work?"
Handing the bullets to Takehiko, his partner said. "These are not regular bullets, oh no. These are deadly to any demon living. Of course once a demon is shot, these will kill him in minutes." Takehiko just stared at the bullets before loading them into his gun. "Now there's only one thing you need to remember Takehiko. These bullets only work once inside the demon's body. So you must be thirty yards away from him when you fire. Otherwise they will not work, and the more bullets that stay in his body the faster they work."
Takehiko gave his new partner an unsure look. "And just what makes these things deadly to demons?" Takehiko asked.
"They are laced with something very special, but I can not say what that is Takehiko. It is my secret and like my name. I am very victorious with my work."
"So that's why your name is Masaru, now I get it." The said man only smiled at his name.
"My family has been very victorious for more then five hundred years. And I will not fail them now."
Takehiko was about to step out of the car when, Masaru stopped him. "And what is the problem now?" Takehiko asked. Looking back at Masaru, Takehiko could see Masaru was concentrating, but what was he doing?
Suddenly Marasu's eyes shot open. "Get back in the car NOW Takehiko! We can not shoot him just yet. That girl, she is a miko."
Takehiko was really confused now. "What the hell are you talking about Masaru? I never heard of such stupid talk, she's just a girl."
Masaru only laughed at Takehiko's stupidity. "You idiot, a miko like her is very powerful. If we shoot the hanyou now, she'll purify the bullets and heal his wounds. No we need to wait until he is alone."
This only made Takehiko madder. "Fine, but when she goes into that school. He's dead!"
Once InuYasha and Kagome made it to the college stairs, InuYasha turned Kagome around. He looked deep into her brown eyes. "Look you know I'm only worried about you Kagome. I'm sorry for being rude, but...something tells me that guy will be back."
Taking one of his clawed hands in her's. Kagome gave InuYasha a sad face. "I know you care about me InuYasha, and I understand you only want to protect me. But I know nothing will happen to me in school. And as long as I'm not alone I'll be fine. No one is stupid enough to kidnap three girls in broad day light." Kagome said, before bringing his hand to her lips and lightly kissing his knuckles. "Just wait here, okay InuYasha?" Kagome said, placing one of her hands on his cheek.
Leaning into her touch, he only wished he could protect her more. "Yeah, but don't think you're sneaking out on me Kagome. Just remember, this nose never fails me." InuYasha said, while tapping his nose.
Kagome slightly froze. "Like I would even try something like that InuYasha. And you need to understand too InuYasha, that I need to make friends. And if you follow me I'll make sure to replace those beads around your neck."
InuYasha growled when Kagome told him the next part. "Now stay here or go home InuYasha. But don't you dare follow me after class. Got it!"
Letting the growl out completely once Kagome walked off, InuYasha then jumped onto the college roof. 'You Can think what you want Kagome, but I'm not letting my guard down.' InuYasha thought as he watched Kagome walk into the school.
Kagome was greeted by her new friends as she walked through the main doors. "Kagome!" Aiko, called out, while waving at Kagome.
"Aiko, it's good to see you again." Kagome said, walking up to her friends. "
"So are we ready for this first day?" Emi asked. Emi was the out spoken one. "I can't wait to see how many cute boys go to the this school."
"Emi!" Kei said, giving Emi a little push. Kei was the quiet one.
Kagome just shook her head and chuckled at her three new friends. "What's so funny to you kagome?" Emi asked.
Aiko answered before Kagome had a chance. "I bet Kagome already has a boyfriend. Don't you Kagome?" Kagome turned red at the mention of having a boyfriend. "See I knew it!" Aiko said, pointing to Kagome's red face.
"It's...um...well look at the time, we better get to class. See you all after class. Kagome said, waving to her friends.
Aiko, Emi, and Kei just looked at each other. "She so has a boyfriend." Emi said, as the girls started for class.
Class was going slow for Kagome even though college was different from regular school. It still felt like forever till class ended. And for InuYasha twice as long. "Dammit! This college thing is just as bad as that damn school thing was." InuYasha said, as he jumped from the roof. "I need to go for a quick run, before she comes out."
So as InuYasha made his way from school. Takehiko made his way after InuYasha. "He's fast!" Takehiko said to Masaru.
"He is indeed, but I want to know something Takehiko. Do you know his name?"
Giving Masaru a look, Takehiko replied. "Do you think I give a damn what his name is. All I want is to kill the bastard. I want him to suffer, but I'll take anything."
"Don't worry Takehiko." Masaru chuckled. "If you play your cards right. Those bullets will have him in so much pain. He'll wish for death."
They followed InuYasha to the nearby park. And when the hanyou took a seat on a tree branch, Takehiko made his move.
"Now remember, thirty yards no more and no less." Masaru said, before Takehiko left the car. Takehiko nodded and continued on his way. So as InuYasha grumbled to himself on the tree branch. Takehiko made his way closer. And just when Takehiko's scent hit InuYasha's nose. He heard a loud sound and something sting his right arm. Then something hit his right legs.
Jumping from the tree InuYasha saw blood running from his wounds. Then came face to face with the one who shot him. "You!" Was all InuYasha could say before three more bullets hit him square in the chest. A deep growl escaped InuYasha's lips as Takehiko started to run from him.
And just as InuYasha was about to run after Takehiko. A weak feeling hit him hard. "What is this feeling? Damn I hurt all over all of a sudden." As InuYasha tried to walk his leg gave out and his breathing started to slow.
Takehiko only ran, he wasn't taking chances. Once he made it safely to the car. He watched as InuYasha fell to the ground. Masaru leaned over and said. "One down and one to go." Takehiko only chuckled as they drove away.
A/N: I hope a you all enjoyed. And for a close friend of mine good luck on your first day of school tomorrow.
