Chapter 18: Inuyasha's Test
The next morning, Inuyasha woke to his buzzer alarm and immediately got out of his bed. He gets into his casual outfit, white t-shirt, red hoodie and a pain of blue jeans. He gets his things and shoves them into his bag. He leaves the room and sees that Kagome in a gloomy state. "Kagome." He said as he runs up to her. Kagome doesn't respond and just kept on walking down the hallway. "Kagome!" Inuyasha said with some frustation but calm behind it. He walks around to look into her eyes. Kagome's eyes are closed. "Kagome could you at least open your eyes?" Inuyasha begs her. She turns her head and runs pass him. Inuyasha is now confused and dumbstruck. Last night she was just fine, and now she's broken from both inside and out. He shakes his head and goes to his dad.
Inutaishou is getting ready for work as he fixes his neck tie. "Dad." Inuyasha asks as well knocking his door. "Come in." Inutaishou said allowing him in. "Dad, something's wrong with Kagome." Inuyasha said with worry. Inutaishou nods, "I know what you want." He said as he takes the contact lens container. "You know what to do." He whispers to his son. Inuyasha opens the top to see two ordinary lens. He takes a closer look to what they have. Seeing how it has an aura around. "Yeah. Leave it to me." He smiles and runs out of the room.
In the kitchen Inuyasha see his mother making breakfast for the family. "Inuyasha good morning son." She greets him, "Morning mom." He replies but less ethusiasm. Izayoi seen that look before. "Something happened didn't it?" She asks as she gives him a plate of pancakes and a glass of orange juice. "It's Kagome. Dad gave me the invention and I'm hoping they'll help find her tormoil." He said before digging into his breakfast. Izayoi nods without saying another word because she knows for sure that her son can solve any personal problem. "Just make sure she's alright for her mother's sake. I'm glad Ai didn't noticed it." She said as she continues her cooking with her personal chef. Inuyasha didn't need to say anything about that and leaves the table. "I'm off." He said as he goes out to the garage to get into his car. He gets in and surprisingly Kagome isn't in the passenger side. He gets into his side and drives out and head to the school, hoping to find Kagome along the way.
Kagome is walking down the sidewalk all alone and she's in a trance that she doesn't even know where she's going, let alone looking what's up ahead of her. "Kagome!" A voice calls out to her. She just ignores the voice and continues on walking. She just doesn't want anyone around her at the moment. "Kagome!" The voice calls again trying to get her attention. Like before she ignores it even more, not responding to it. Soon she feels something grabbing her shoulder, stopping from going any further from the person. "Kagome, what has gotten into you?" The voice asks in anger. "I've been looking for you all over. Don't you even know where you are at the moment?" Kagome takes the gribbed shoulder and tries to take it off her, but it's too strong beyong her limit. "Let me go." She dully said to it, not want any involvement with it. Kagome tries even harder to get the hand off her shoulder, but the hand won't budge. "Kagome it's me. Do you know who I am?" The voice said with familiarity. Hearing it sighs, "What do you want?" She asks it. The hand repositions itself as the person turns her around. "What happened to you? You're not yourself." It worries her. "Exactly. I don't feel myself at all. I don't even know who I am." She yells back and managed to gt loose of the hand's grib and ran off.
Kagome comes to and finds herself in a dark damp room, as well as tied up on herself, around her ankles and wrists as well gagged. 'What happened?' She asks in her head. Soon a door opens, letting the light in. "Well Well Well. Higurashi you snake. You'd think you could find a way into Takahashi's heart and wrap him around your finger." A fimiliar smirks evilly at her. Kagome eye's blink from the bright light. "Mark my wordds Higurashi. Not even Takahashi can find you. This room is cloaking its smell over yours and not even Inuyasha's sense of smell will find you. Kagome growls even through her gagged mouth. "Ha scream all you want, even this room is soundproof, so your hopes are up for him to save you." She said and shuts the door. 'What have I got myself into?' Kagome groans.
Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango are in Math class pretending to focus what's on the dry eraser board. Hearing the blah blah blah stuff from the teacher, they can't stop thinking the same thing: Kagome's whereabouts. "So you haven't seen her either?" Inuyasha asks to them. Sango shakes her head, "Not since the other day when she and I went to the park." Miroku couldn't remember the last time he seen her. "Who knows where she is. Maybe someone abducted her." Sango suggests him. Hearing that made Inuyasha hold his chin. His thoughts are cut short when the bell chimes to alert them to dismiss.
As Inuyasha gets out to the hallway he bumps into someone. "Sorry." He said as he tries pass through. "No pardon me." Kikyo simply said as she grabs a hold of his arm. "Kikyo would you let go of me?" He demands her as he managed to get out of her grasp. "Oh why not hang around with me? I've been so lonely." She acts innocently. "Leave him alone Kikyo. Besides I think your up to something as well." Sango glares at her. Kikyo's eyes slightly widen, but Inuyasha catches her glipse and narrows his eyes. "Excuse me, Miroku and I will go to the bathroom. Be right back." Inuyasha said as he grabs Miroku and rush to the nearest restroom. "I'm onto you, Kikyo." Sango snears at her gesturing her two fingers by her eyes and back at her. And walks away.
Inuyasha and Miroku make their way to the restroom. When they get here, they look around and to make sure they're the only ones here. "Okay Inuyasha, spill you're suspicious about Kikyo as I speak." Miroku cross his arms. Inuyasha hold him a second as he pulls out the container from his hoodie pocket. "They're gonna help us out." He said as he uncaps the tops. Miroku lifts an eyebrow, "Contact lens? How are they gonna help us out?" He asks crossing his arms. Inuyasha shakes his head with smirk, "These are no ordinary lens. These babies can read minds like a psychic." Inuyasha replies as he puts them out. Amazingly his golden eyes stay the same color. "Prove me wrong that you can read my mind Inuyasha." Miroku smirks at him. Inuyasha laughs at his challenge, "Fine." He blinks his eyes to activate the lens technology. 'I bet this is just another pair of contacts for all I care.' Miroku rolls his eyes. Inuyasha grins, "I read that you bet that hey're just ordinary contact for all you care." He reminds him. Miroku twitches his eye, "Lucky guess." He lies to him, but fails miserably. "Don't hide it Miroku they're gona help us out what Kikyo is really up to, and might know where Kagome is." Inuyasha said as he leaves the bathroom with Miroku right behind him.
