Chapter 26: The Ultimate Punishment
Somewhere on the other side of Shikon Academy, Inuyasha and Miroku are in their Tech class, weasureing parts for their upcoming project. Soon a major headache gets on Inuyasha's nerve. "Inuyasha. What's wrong." Miroku comes to him, as Inuyasha kneels down to the floor. "I can sense something happened to Kagome that cause her to be very upset. I bet Sango is as wel." Inuyasha groans as the headache worsens. Miroku helps him with his arm around his neck. "I'm fine, Miroku. I just have to handle the pain Kagome is going through." Inuyasha protests as he manages to get up on his own. Miroku watches him worryly but not because of Inuyasha's pain from his mate, but also what could've happened to Sango. "Sango is the only one we trust to look after Kagome, Miroku." Inuyasha gets his attention, snapping him out of his own thoughts. Miroku nods, "You and Kagome have a bond unlike any other in the world." He comments his buddy's connection to Kagome. "You should know that as well, Miroku." Inuyasha agrees on his terms. It's good thing their next class is together without Kikyo and Kagura. So it's a meeting period to see what happened. The bell alerts the students it's time for the next class.
Kagome and Sango pretend to act like nothing happened between them Kagura. As a matter of fact Kagura haven't returned from her errand with the girls, so who knows where she could be. Kagome and Sango head to their locker first to alter their belongings for the upcoming classes. "I bet Inuyasha sensed my pain while we were in the restroom." Kagome begins the talk. Sango sighs, "I think he does. Miroku is with him so we can't keep this information from them." Sango agrees as she gets some of her things out as well. Kagome look down in distress. "How will Inuyasha react when we tell him about what has been happening behind out backs the entire time." Kagome asks as they walked to their next classroom. "I'm not sure what kind of reaction Inuyasha might have. But all I can say he'll be pissed off about it." Sango cautiously responds and then enter the room. As the girls get comfortable. Inuyasha and Miroku come in shortly after. Inuyasha can see the sad look on his mate's face. Miroku sees a different look on Sango's. More like confusion and anger. Kagome looks towards Inuyasha and tries so hard to hide her sadness with a fake smile. Inuyasha isn't buying it though. "Kagome, what happened?" He asks gently, not to frighten her more than she'd already is. Miroku looks at Sango with serious look on his face, telling her that he's not the only with this issue. Kagome sighs as she pulls out the cell phone out of her purse. Inuyasha sniffs the object, "No doubt, it's Kikyo's cell." Inuyasha tells them and lets Kagome continue. "Inuyasha this device has a terrfying thing inside that might make you go haywire." Kagome warns him carefully. Inuyasha nods, soon Kagome oes to the spot were the worsest ever to hide in this. Kagome pulls the photo of her in her undegarments in the girls locker room. "And when did this happened?" Inuyasha asks her with anger seeping out. "Since the day I came here." Kagome answers his question in murmur. Inuyasha is way beyond furious than ever in his life. "Miroku, I want you and Sango to head back to my place after school and tell my father about this. It looks like as though we have a big problem in this school." Inuyasha instructs them. Sango nods hesitately, but did as she was told. Miroku can see how serious this situation has become and now they have to leave the mated pair, without looking back to them.
Soon the school day has ended and the students went home. Inuyasha and Kagome waited until the entire school is empty. They make their way to the principal's office. "Can I speak to the Principal?" Inuyasha requested politely to the secretary. "Sure hold on." She gets out of her seat and knocks on the principal's door. "Mr. Takahashi, I assume you want to talk about Miss. Higurashi's problem. Mr Hinji said as he spots Kagomw with Inuyasha. "She and I have something to talk about." Inuyasha answers as he and Kagome enter the office. They takes their seats while the principal sat in his office chair. "I'm here to show you this." Kagome begin as she places the cell phone onto the desk. Mr. Hinji snears at it, "You know it's wrong not to snoop into someone else's business." He protests any inspections on the device. Inuyasha smirks. "Oh is that so? I see this as evidence on what this device holds that is beyond anything any of these students would dare to use it for." Inuyasha snears deadly to the principal. Mr Hinji weakly nods. "So what is it that we want to talk about?" He asks as he reluctantly opens the screen to reveal a photo of Kagome in her undergarments in the girls' locker room. "And when did this happen?" He quickly asks them. "Since my first day here." Kagome answers the question. "Miss. Higurashi, I know what I have to do. But it shouldn't be privately. I for one am going to make sure that your family know about this as well as Kikyo's family. Inuyasha how do you want Kikyo to be punished?" Inuyasha holds his chin. "That's a good one. I suggest a school court?" Inuyasha tosses out his idea. Thinking about it can be very useful for future punishment. Not to mention that the monitor security system can be useful too. "Very well. I'll let the school about it as well." Mr Hinji agrees as he puts the evidence in his desk drawer. "I just want her to face the ultimate punishment she deserves." Kagome tells him. Inuyasha can see the determination in her eyes. He doesn't need to say anything else about the problem. For now let the principal do his work and see how it turns out. "Even my family will know about this." Inuyasha said to him. "You do remember that my father gets every little detail about my actions as well as Kagome's. So my dad already knows what's going to happen." Inuyasha advices him and they soon left the room.
Meanwhile Sango and Miroku head to the Takahashi Mansion immediately after school. As they enter the place, Myoga greeted them, "Mr. Houshi, Miss Taijiya good afternoon." He bows down to them. "Like wise Myoga, Miroku and I need to speak with Mr. Takahashi." Sango asks with respect. Myoga stands up, "As you wish." He responds and leaves the room. Miroku and Sango get comfortable on the white plush furniture. "I know what you want to do, and I think you got this information from someone we know." Miroku gets her attention. Sango slightly widens her eyes. How could Miroku catch on that fast in such a short time. "I did got this information from someone we know. But that person doesn't want to be part of this involvement anymore." Sango replies, risking Kagura's part for she's the one who gave Kikyo's cell phone as evidence. "I understand you mean by the way you spoke to me like that. More like a secret agent of the school." Miroku stares are her with a stern look. Just when Sango was going to say next, Inutaishou entered the room. "Sango, Miroku, I assume you want me to discuss about something that happened at the school." He interupts their conversation. Miroku and Sango look at each and back to the man in front of them. "Yes, it has to do you're your son and Kagome." Miroku takes the question. Inutaishou shows an attentive look, "What would that be?" Inutaishou asks as he takes a sit in a bigger ricliner. "Did you once got a word from the principal about Kagome's safety." Hearing the question got Inutaishou thinking back. "I actually did. Why?" He asks the two.
The mansion door opens up, revealing Inuyasha and Kagome (Back in her Hanyou form) as they enter the household. "Kagome, you know how I can see through anyone's mind with these babies." Inuyasha speak as he shows the contact lens. "It's unless since we're mates, but it can be our advantage for this." He explains to her and they soon turn to the room where his dad, Miroku and Sango are talking. "Did I miss something?" Kagome asks them. Inutaishou, Miroku, and Sango stare at them with an akward look. "Inuyasha, Kagome. I think it's time we talk." Inutaishou breaks the silence.
