Chapter 5: Back from the Past

Sesshomaru sat there in his office in the city's police department.

'Hmm, demon activity has been low these past few weeks so there isn't much I can do. After all, the humans can deal with their own kind. I won't waste my time on such week criminals. But why do I feel this low demon activity is somewhat, abnormal.'

Suddenly, he sensed a strong demonic aura nearby. 'This aura, I haven't felt it in years. Wait…it couldn't be!'

Sesshomaru rushed to where he sensed the aura. He came to an ally way surrounded in a purple and black vapor. A miasma.

"Naraku!" shouted Sesshomaru.

"He he he, Officer Sesshomaru, what a pleasant surprise." said Naraku in an oily voice.

Sesshomaru couldn't see Naraku through the miasma but could him quite well despite that. "Now I know why the demons haven't been around, they're hiding because you've returned!"

"Yes, after nearly 4 years, I've come back to terriaze the city of Tokyo. But I'm better than ever."

"Damn you!" Sesshomaru used his finger whip and struck at the miasma. It slowly started to decapitate,

"Until next time officer, the people of this city better watch themselves."

Inuyasha and Kagome walked down the halls of the school when they noticed a crowd of people. Apparently they were looking at the school's news board. Among the crowd they noticed Sango and Miroku.

"What's everyone looking at?" asked Kagome.

"There's a dance this Friday. It's the one we always have at the beginning of the year." replied Sango. "We also have a Halloween dance, a winter dance and a spring dance. They're a lot of fun."

"Well then…" Miroku began. He took Sango's hands in his in that bear my children stance. "Sango, would you consider being my date for the dance?"

Sango could hear the whispers from Kagome saying "go for it. go for it" "Yes I will Miroku." Sango replied.

"Woohoo!" shouted Miroku.

Sango couldn't help but giggle at his excitement. She had always liked Miroku since she first met him along with Inuyasha. Despite being a pervert, he was a good guy. He was always joking around no matter where he went, could make any one he came across laugh their heads off and of course, flirted with nearly every girl in the school. You didn't know if you could ever take him seriously or not. These qualities of his seemed to attract Sango to him. She did want him to break his flirting habit though.

"You'll come to dance with me right?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.

"Of course." Kagome responded.

Inuyasha smiled and gave her lips a little peck with his. They left the crowd and Inuyasha noticed Kagome hiding behind his back.

"Kagome, what's wrong?"

She pointed forward and Inuyasha looked. Standing a few feet ahead of them was a guy wearing back pants and a brown shirt. He was wearing a brown headband and his hair was tied in a ponytail.

"Kouga!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"I finally found you Kagome." said Kouga with a small grin on his face.

"What are you doing here!?" shouted Inuyasha.

"I could be asking you the same question." said Kouga. "What are you doing with my woman?"

"Your WHAT!?" Inuyasha exclaimed. He looked back and saw Kagome gripping his shirt tightly, tears in her eyes.

"You're kind of scaring her so why don't you bug off". said Inuyasha.

"She should be with me. Not some dog mutt like you!" shouted Kouga. He then noticed Ms. Midoriko, the principal heading their way. "We'll settle this another time." said Kouga and he walked away. Inuyasha turned to his girlfriend and tried to comfort her.

"Is he gone?" Kagome asked.

"Yes he's gone", Inuyasha said calmly as he gently patted her back.

"You know him?"

Kagome nodded. "Yeah. Before I moved to here I of course went to another school. Kouga went to the same school as me. When I first met him he didn't seem like such a bad guy. Then I realized I was wrong. In class he'd always stare at me and follow me in the halls. I got really scared of him. Luckily we moved before he could…do something…to me."

Inuyasha gave her a nice warm hug to comfort her some more. "It'll be all right Kagome. You've got friends who will protect you till the end."

"Thanks." said Kagome. Inuyasha took his sleeve shirt and used it to wipe the tears streaming down her cheeks. Kagome felt much better after that.

Woah! It's been a long time since I last updated. If this chapter seems to be a liitle short because I think it might be, sorry. If you guys have any ideas on what should happen in the next chapter, I'd love to read them beacause I'm kind of having a writer's block right now.
