Teacher's Pet

Chapter 20: Shocking Sleepover

Kanna was tired after practice. She wasn't used to exerting so much energy, especially at one time. She used her powers sometimes, but it wasn't anything like cheerleading practice. But Kanna had to admit, she was enjoying the attention that she was getting from Kagome. It was going to make her job just that much easier.

"Ok Yash, this is the formula, so you figure out what you're supposed to do." Kagome said, handing Inuyasha her pencil and paper.

"That can wait for a minute. Where are we picking Kanna up from?" He asked.

"I can't remember. She said she was gonna text me with the address at 6." Kagome shrugged. "When we're there we can scope the place out." Kagome's phone vibrated with a text message. "Hmmm…she's smart."

"What'd she say?"

"She told me to pick her up at the McDonald's." Kagome said.

Inuyasha nodded. "I would've ended up telling you my address."

"That's because you're slow." Kagome laughed.

"Are we picking Sango up before we get Kanna?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah…she's gonna throw a bitch fit if Kanna is in the car when she gets in." Kagome sighed. "Let's go."

"So what's up with you bringing Kanna onto the team?" Sango asked as soon as she got in the car.

Kagome shrugged from the driver's seat. "Nobody pays attention to her. I just think she needs some friends."

"You're lying. You've been hiding something from me since the beginning of the school year and it's December. That's four months Kags. You need to spill it." Sango was serious.

Kagome hesitated. "I'm seeing someone."

Sango smiled. "I figured as much. Though I am hurt that you would keep that a secret from me. So who is it?"

"Can't tell you. We wanna keep it under the radar." Kagome said.

"And I'm not under the radar?"

"Of course you are. But we really don't want anybody to know." Kagome felt bad for keeping a secret from Sango, but she knew that she had to.

"Yeah, whatever. I just thought that we'd share everything. But I guess I was wrong." Sango said, her feelings hurt.

That made Kagome upset. "Like when you told me you lost your virginity to Miroku?"

Sango turned deep red. "That's different!"

"How? You never even told me that. I had to guess it. I gave you a week to tell me too, but you were tight lipped about it." Kagome said.

Sango sighed. "Fine. You can keep your little secret."

Inuyasha felt uncomfortable for knowing the secret that Sango didn't know. He knew that Sango was Kagome's best friend, and that they didn't keep secrets from each other. "She's dating-"

"Inuyasha if you say a word I'll kill you." Kagome mumbled so low that she knew Sango couldn't hear her.

Inuyasha gulped. "She's dating Koga." He laughed it off.

Sango rolled her eyes. "Now I know that's a lie."

Kagome laughed. "I'd cut my hair off before I did that."

"There's Kanna. She's in front of McDonald's." Sango pointed the pale girl out.

Kagome honked her horn and the girl walked to her car. "Hey Kanna."

"Hi guys." She said. To say she was nervous was an understatement. She had no idea what she was going to do, how she was going to make Naraku happy. Kanna knew that she needed to do something big for him to be pleased with her. Especially since she'd been at the school for almost two weeks and she hadn't gotten any type of information.

"What are we gonna eat tonight?" Inuyasha asked.

"Pizzza and hot wings. That's what I'm craving." Kagome said.

"Fine with me." Inuyasha licked his lips. "Are you cooking them?"

"Nope. I don't feel like cooking for that many people. And the last time I cooked hot wings, you couldn't handle them." Kagome laughed again.

"Well Kags, in his defense, your wings are pretty hot." Sango said.

"You two are just wimps." Kagome said. "Kanna, I bet you can handle my hot wings." When they got back to Kagome's house, Kagome had changed her mind and had decided to cook some hot wings. As her guests began to arrive, they decided that they would challenge each other to who could eat the most.

Kanna and Kagome were the last two standing. Koga had quit after two wings, Inuyasha had made it to three, Miroku stopped after his first bite, and Sango didn't want to burn her mouth.

"Is Ayame coming?" Inuyasha asked, sniffing because his nose was running from the intense heat of Kagome's chicken.

"She's at the door now." Kagome answered just as her doorbell rang.

Inuyasha shook his head and went to answer the door. Ayame was visibly drunk, and she had a bottle of vodka in her hands. "Kags!" Inuyasha called.

Kagome rushed to the door and caught Ayame just as she was about to fall forward. She carried her to the couch and laid her down. Kagome took the bottle from her friend's hand and handed it to Inuyasha. "Get rid of this. And somebody get me a wet towel." Just as Ayame was about to turn green, Kagome yelled, "And a trash can! She's about to puke!" Before Kagome could get the trash can or the towel, Ayame threw up on her and her carpet.

"Ewwww!" Everyone at the house cried.

But Kagome remained calm. Ayame fell asleep after her stomach was empty, so Kagome took the towel and put it on her forehead. She then cleaned her carpet before she went upstairs and took a shower and changed clothes.

When she came back downstairs, everyone was sitting around her living room table whispering. They all looked at her and instantly included her in the conversation.

"Ayame doesn't drink like that." Sango said.

"She used to. But she stopped." Kagome told them.

"Used to?" Koga asked. No, he didn't like Ayame the way she liked him, but he was fond of her and he didn't want anything bad to happen to her.

"Yeah, I remember that." Sango nodded her head.

Ayame groaned and lifted her head. "Wh…where am I?" She mumbled.

"You're at my house Ayame. What happened?" Kagome asked.

Ayame put her hand on her head, and her body jerked like she was dry heaving. Kagome pushed the trash can under her head as she threw up again. Kagome rushed outside and threw the bag into a different trash can for the truck to collect it in the morning.

"You don't have to talk if you don't want to Ayame." Kagome whispered, knowing her head must have been hurting.

Ayame shook her head, then held her head. "No. I wanna tell you." She took a deep breath. "When my dad…when he came home from work, I asked him could I come over here. But something wasn't right about him. I could tell, but I was so caught up in tryna get over here. My mom came home and started cooking dinner. He went in the kitchen while I was upstairs and all I heard was screaming. I ran downstairs to see what was going on and he'd tied her up to a chair. He was smiling, but something was off. He looked at me and I saw that he had a knife in his hands. He came at me and pushed me on the couch. The he…he…" Ayame started crying.

Kagome wrapped her arms around her friend. "Shhh…shhh…it's ok Ayame. It's ok."

"He killed my mom Kagome!" She wailed into Kagome's shoulder. "He murdered her in cold blood! Then he just ran out of the house. I…I didn't know what else to do!" Ayame's first reaction to everything had always been to drink her problems away, and that had started when she was twelve, when her first pet had died. She'd gotten it from both her mother and her father. They were alcoholics and they fought frequently.

"Ayame…where is he now?" Kagome asked cautiously.

"I don't know!"

Kagome knew that he would try to kill his only witness. And she also knew that he knew where she lived. "Ok, I need everyone to stay calm. But I think that there may be a large possibility that Ayame's dad will be coming here."

Everyone gasped.

"Shh. Stay calm." Kagome felt his aura outside of her house. "He's here." She whispered.

Ayame tightened her grip on Kagome, the tears streaming down her face faster. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I didn't think he'd come here!" Ayame was whispering.

"It's alright Ayame. I can handle this." Kagome flared her aura out and placed a barrier around the house. She knew that he wouldn't be able to get in the house, but she also knew that he wouldn't stop trying until he got what he wanted. Kagome picked up her cellphone and called 911. "There is a man outside my house. I have reason to believe that he killed his wife and raped his daughter prior to coming here." Kagome told the dispatcher.

"And where is his daughter?" The dispatcher was a female.

"She's right here beside me. But there are a lot of us in the house and we're really scared right now." Kagome said, adding fear that she wasn't feeling into her voice.

" Alright. May I have your name please?"

"Higurashi Kagome."

"Oh! Higurashi-san! The police will be there very shortly!" The woman immediately sped up her work when she heard Kagome's name. Kagome would make sure that she found a way to report her to higher authorities for not taking the problem seriously.

The police arrived within minutes. Kagome made sure that Ayame couldn't hear what was going on outside, but she knew that they'd arrested her father. Kagome knew that they'd had to shoot him twice for him to let go of the knife he'd still been in possession of.

A police officer knocked on Kagome's door. "This is the police. Everything is alright now.

Kagome opened the door. "Thank you officer."

"We'll need to take his daughter down for questioning." He said.

Kagome shook her head. "She'll go down tomorrow."

"It's best to get the statement now, while it's still fresh on her mind." The officer said.

Kagome stepped outside the door, forcing the officer to exit her home. She closed the door behind her. "She just watcher her mother get murdered and she was raped, at the hands of her father. Do you really think she's gonna forget anything?" Kagome was livid. "And she's a minor. You can't detain her."

The officer looked at Kagome.

"Cross me if you want to. You'll be turning in your badge before Monday." Kagome threatened.

He looked down at the tiny ball of fire in front of him and knew she meant business. So, with nothing more to do, the officer turned and walked away.

Kagome went back in the house and saw that Ayame was still laying on the couch. She knew that her friend was too tired to go upstairs, so she let her stay on the couch.

"Thank you Kagome." Ayame whispered, before drifting off to sleep.

"You're welcome." Kagome lightly kissed Ayame's forehead. No one said anything as they began to fall asleep one by one. The last two awake were Kagome and Kanna. They were watching each other. "You're hiding something. What is it?" Kagome asked.
