Previously on The Return:
"What the Fuck?!" Kouga exclaimed.
"What the Fuck?!" Kouga exclaimed.
"Feh!" the new student muttered smirking at Kouga
"Wh...what the hell?" Kouga whispered hoarsely.
"Who woulda thought you'd end up bein' a teacher eh Wolf-breathe" the student asked still smirking.
"Inu...Inu-Yasha? That's you? Really you?" Kouga muttered
"Yeah, who else-Oww!" Inu-yasha exclaimed grabbing his nose from where Kouga had just punched him.
"You Mother-Fucker! How dare you just come strolling in here! Do you have any idea what your death did to everyone?! Did to Kagome?!" Kouga yelled furiously, ready to punch him again.
Sigh "I know, if I had it my way I woulda come back straight away." Inu-Yasha replied sadly
"How are you even alive?"
"Errr...well that's a bit complicated." Inu-Yasha stated.
"Complicated? I'm surprised you even know what the word means." Kouga interrupted
"Feh! Bastard!" Inu-Yasha growled. "Anyway, I don't really remember much of when I was dead, I remember a woman in white whispering, but it would go in and out. I do remember her telling me that I've been given another chance at life causa my selfless sacrifice or something. No idea what that's about, but yeah. I got angry it was takin' so long, but she said that they had to make my body the way it was before and it took time. She did mutter something when I was leaving, something about me being needed and facing an even bigger threat, know what that's supposed to mean Wolf?" Inu-Yasha explained as he folded his arms and looked at the ceiling.
"I don't know the specifics, but there has been a large increase in demon activity." Kouga replied carefully
"Demon activity?" Inu-Yasha asked lowly with narrowed eyes. "What activity would that be?"
"The activity of attacking Kagome and trying to take the jewel." Kouga said crossing his arms. "I've been protecting her, we all have, but its getting bad. She hasn't realized what's happening yet I don't think."
At hearing this Inu-Yasha started growling lowly at the thought of Kagome in danger. "How is she?"
"Not good to be honest. We've tried to keep her safe and happy, but she's...well to be honest, she's not coping well with your death." Kouga replied sadly. "Anyway we should probably head in. But before we do, i need to tell ya a few things."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. I'm the teacher here, so you gotta listen and respect me Mutt-face." Kouga said with a smirk. "This is P.E and we're doing sword and archery, get to choose which one...I wonder what one you'll choose. Where did Tetsuiga go anyway?"
"I've got it here. I can control it completely now. I can get it to shrink if I want it to." Inu-Yasha bragged as he pointed to a small sword pendant hanging off of a choker he was wearing.
"Huh. That's convenient." Kouga muttered.
"Can we go in now? Kagome's in there." Inu-yasha demanded impatiently.
"I wonder whats taking so long?" Ami muttered as she sat on the floor and filed her nails instead of practicing.
"Yeah and why did Mr Wolf yell like that when he left?" Yuka added quietly.
As the girls were talking Kagome was ignoring them and practising, barely hitting the target on purpose. The door to the room opened and Kouga and the new student came in, but Kagome was focused and didn't turn around.
"Alright you lot. I know you weren't practising so get your asses over here. This is the new student I told you about. Introduce yourself." Kouga grumbled.
"Feh" was all Inu-Yasha said as he crossed his arm, his eyes not leaving Kagome since he spotted her when he first entered the room.
"Oh, he is hot."
"that's it? Feh?"
"Wow, they glare the same. I wonder if they're related"
"Alright! that's enough! Get back to it you lot! Since your new I'll stick ya with a buddy." Kouga yelled as he lead Inu-Yasha over to Kagome's unaware form. "Kagome? Your gonna be the new students buddy." Kouga said to Kagome as they arrived and left immediately, getting the students to move away.
Sigh was all Kagome said, not even turning to see the new student. Inu-Yasha on the other hand hadn't moved his gaze away. When he realised that Kagome wasn't going to look at him he smirked.
"Feh! Wench you know that's supposed to actually hit the target, right?" Inu-Yasha asked as he came up close behind her and saw where the arrows were landing. At his voice and what he said Kagome gasped and spun around dropping the bow in the process. When Kagome saw Inu-Yasha she gasped and her eyes welled up with tears. Kagome's hand slowly reached out to Inu-Yasha's face, but stopped half way and fell to her side as she looked down sadly.
"What's wrong?" Inu-Yasha asked softly as he stepped even closer to Kagome, bringing their bodies flushed together, lifting a clawed hand and gently cupping her cheek, wiping a tear that escaped from her eye.
Kagome's eyes drifted shut slowly as she leant into his hand. "Inu...Inu-Yasha?"
"Feh, yeah Wench, it's me." Inu-Yasha whispered softly, stroking her cheek with his thumb softly.
"H...How?" Kagome asked as she opened her eyes and grasped the hand on her cheek desperately, more tears coming to her eyes. As Inu-Yasha saw and smelt Kagome's tears, his eyes widened in panic.
"NO! d...don't cry! I'm sorry, just no more tears..." he cried desperately wiping away her tears.
Kagome laughed brokenly and smiled up at him through her tears. "I...I'm sorry, I'm just so happy your back...you are back right?"
"Yeah, I'm back. For good. Apparently I've been given another chance since I died selflessly or something, not sure I understand though." Inu-Yasha muttered as he rested his forehead onto Kagome's forehead and closed his eyes in contentment.
"Y...your back" Kagome whispered as she clutched the front of his school uniform desperately. "Your back." A beaming smile broke out onto her face at this.
"And Kagome?" Inu-Yasha asked as he pulled away slightly so that he could look at her face.
"Hmm?" she murmured happily as she looked up at him.
"I love you."
"Wh...What?" Kagome whispered shocked.
"I love you." was repeated into her ear. "and I'm never leaving you again."
"I...Inu-Yasha" Kagome whispered as tears began to fall again. "I love you too."
At that Inu-Yasha slowly picked her up by the waist and spun her around happily causing her to laugh delightedly. At hearing Kagome's laugh, Kouga stopped what he was doing and looked at them, smiling when he saw them. When Inu-Yasha placed her back onto her feet he kept his arms wrapped around her and slowly lowered his head until his lips were barely pressed against her own, causing her to gasp and kiss back. Inu-Yasha slowly pulled back with a bright blush on his face and smiling wiped away the tears that still leaked from Kagome's eyes. "I told you not to cry Wench?" he murmured into her ear.
Kagome laughed softly and murmured back "I told you not to die" before burying her face into his neck. At this point the entire class was watching them in shock.
"Ahem" Kouga coughed smiling slightly at the emotional reunion. "I really hate to break this up, but I do have a class to teach. Mutt, come with me."
Kagome was focusing on aiming her arrow, making sure it seemed as though she couldn't aim when she heard Kouga and Inu-Yasha arguing. Keeping her aim, Kagome looked over and saw Inu-Yasha holding one of the fake swords with his thumb and middle finger looking at Kouga in disgust. "You want me to what?!" he exclaimed.
"You have to use it Mutt" was the calm response Kouga replied with, smirking at Inu-Yasha.
"No."
"What? What do you mean no?" Kouga exclaimed
"I'm not using this...this ...toothpick!" he yelled causing Kagome to laugh quietly and to accidentally let go of the arrow, causing it to hit perfectly.
"well what else are you going to use? You cant use a real sword Inu-Yasha!" Kouga exclaimed frustrated.
"Sure I can." Inuyasha replied smugly fingering his pendant.
"Grrrr, fine!" Kouga growled stalking away angrily. Inu-Yasha smirked triumphantly and walked away to enlarge his sword where no-one could see.
When Inu-Yasha came back he went to a sectioned off area and called "Oi! Wench come here!" causing everyone to stop to see who he was insulting.
"What is it Inu-Yasha?" Kagome questioned as she stopped in front of him causing outraged gasps to come from the class at how he was addressing Kagome.
Inu-Yasha walked over to Kagome and leaning close whispered in her ear "Come practice with me."
Kagome blushed brightly at the close proximity. "But we cant show them our skill." she muttered looking around at the class
"So we'll tone it down a bit." he muttered as he brushed a strand of hair away from her face.
"Alright" she murmured softly as she smiled at him and got into position. Inu-Yasha smirked at her and readied himself as well.
"Ready?" Kagome called, causing her classmates to gasp in horror, realising that she was going to shoot arrows at the new student who only has an old rusty sword to defend himself.
"Always Wench" was the arrogant answer. Kagome smiled and started to shoot arrows at him, some missing, but some getting their mark. Inu-Yasha would cut down all that came near him and would chase the others to cut them down as well. The class had stopped what they were doing to watch the display. Kouga on the other hand was shaking his head in dismay.
"The arrows! You know how expensive they are? I have to replace them all Mutt-face" he called out.
After class it was discovered that Inu-Yasha and Kagome shared all of their classes together so they walked off with Inu-Yasha's arm around Kagome's waist. Kagome's friends watched and glared at Inu-Yasha, looking at Hojo's distressed expression. Hojo then seemed to square his shoulders and walked off to his next class.
"I'll get Kagome, no matter what, he doesn't deserve her. Insulting her, using her, he's just a bully! I'll get Kagome no matter what I have to do!"
