Chapter 3

There was a knock on the front door of the Higurashi Residence.

'I'll get it!' Shouted Kagome. 'Stay HERE' whispered Kagome to InuYasha.

'Feh.'

Kagome turned and ran down to the front door.

She opened it to see an old man, and two childeren, who where about ten.

'Yes?'

'We know you have it! where is it!' the boy shouted.

The girl stood on his foot.

'Ignore him. We heard that this is a sacred shrine, and we came to have a look.' She said sweetly.

'Owww, what was that for?'

'Oh! of course. I''ll just go and find Grandpa. Would you like to come in?' Kagome said nervously.

'Yes, please. I'm sorry about my grandson.' the old man replied.

'That's fine.

'By the way, My name is Max, and these are my two grandchildren, Ben and Gwen.'

'Nice to meet you.'

Max, Ben and Gwen Followed Kagome inside, and sat in the lounge room.

Kagome remained standing.

'I'll just go and fetch grandpa.'

Kagome turned and walked out of the room.

'Lets start looking!' Ben exclaimed.

'Now hold up, Ben.' Max warned.

'Ben! NO!' Gwen shouted.

But Ben had already slammed the watch down, and in a flash of green transformed into GreyMatter.

Right in front of Kagome's eyes.

InuYasha waited, and waited and waited.

He didn't trust the younger scent, that somehow demonic scent.

And that girl! She smelt similar to Kagome, when she was firing a scared arrow!

Suddenly, somehow, the demonic scent changed.

InuYasha didn't think twice.

---

Kagome was still stunned when InuYasha appearing right in front of her, sword drawn, and about to cut off the little demon's head.

InuYasha froze, sheathed tetsaiga, and picked up the strange little demon.

'Hey! Put me down!' It squeaked.

'What the,' InuYasha muttered.

Kagome still seemed to be in shock.

'Uh, er, um, about that little thing, um ...' Gwen started.

'Kind of scrawny little demon, aren't you.' InuYasha said, unimpressed. His ears still stayed flat, untrusting.

'Hey! Your the guy thats been seen around the city!' GreyMatter suddenly exclaimed.

Kagome unfroze.

'Well of course he's been seen around the city, he's been staying with me! We were just about to go to a ... um... a fancy dress party!'

'You had better keep your ears down and agree with me, or I will say ssss...' Kagome whispered so quietly that only herself and InuYasha could hear it.

'Yeah.' InuYasha said nervously.

'Now, what is that thing? wasn't he a kid a second ago?' Kagome asked. She stepped around InuYasha.

'Um, yeah. he can kind of do that.' Gwen said.

'Can you at least loosen your grip? Your kind of crushing me!' Ben squeaked.

InuYasha simply let go, and pinched the omnitrix on Ben's back.

'You sure don't smell like a demon.' InuYasha said confusedly.

'What's a demon? I'm an alien!' Ben shouted.

'Alli-'

'But aliens don't exist. We have demons here in Japan. I mean we did. Sort of...' Kagome smoothly cut off InuYasha.

'Yes they do, and they are a lot more advanced then we are.'

'Feh.' InuYasha muttered.

'Inu- um, why dont you set Ben down, and then I- we can get to this party.'

InuYasha set the little 'alli-anne' down.

The strange marking on it's back flashed three times red, and with another flash, turned into a boy.

Just then, Grandpa walked in.

'Well then, if you wanted to see the shrine, heres the man for it. Come on!' Kagome said hurriedly, dragging InuYasha out of the door, and grabbing InuYasha's cap.

Grandpa clapped his hands together exitedly.

'Lets go!' he said, turning and walking out of the door.

Max, Gwen and Ben followed after.

---

Up the road, at a nearby mall, Kagome was throwing clothes at a very confused hanyou.

'What are these things?' InuYasha asked, examining one of them.

'Just try them on!' Kagome replied, dragging InuYasha towards the changing rooms.

'How?'

Kagome grabbed a pair of jeans from a nearby rack, and mimed putting them on.

'And this?'

Kagome did the same thing with a t-shirt. she then pushed InuYasha inside a changing room, shutting the curtain.

'The things I do to not get sat...' InuYasha mumbled darkly.

---

'That was so him!' Gwen exclaimed as soon as they got back to the van.

'It was not! They were going to a fancy dress party!' Ben replied.

'Was so!'

'Was not!'

'So!'

Not!'

'Would you two stop it!' Max exclaimed. 'Whether he was or wasn't, we still have to find proof.'

'He fit the description exactly!' Gwen said.

'Look!' Ben shouted.

Max and Gwen scrambled to the window.

There, landing on the rooftop of the shrine, was the very same people they saw earlier.

'How does he do that?' Gwen whispered.

The red-clad figure slung himself around the gutter, and into Kagome's room with her on his back
