Chapter 29: The Assembly Warning
It's a typical morning at the Takahashi Mansion. The sun lights beems into the exposed windows of the bedroom with the newly mated pair sleep in the king size bed. The first one to wake is Kagome. She immediately feel consciousness. She turns her head a little to allow the sunlight to give her an extra boost of energy. Thanks to that, the energy also filled Inuyasha's body as well. He finds her moving a little around. He smirks as he tightens her in his arms. "Morning, Kagome." He huskily whispered into her doggy ears. Kagome turns to her other side to face him, "Morning, Inuyasha." She replies as she snuggles into his embrace. Inuyasha strokes her raven hair. "I believe dad is going to be at school today for the assembly." He starts off as he sits up against the backboard and holds her to his chest. "I hope is for the entire school to know about what's been going on lately." She sighs as she looks up to him. Inuyasha looks back down. "I assure that dad can pull a few strings with the school system." He rubs her back to calm her down. "I think we should get ready for school." He picks her and takes her to the bathroom. "But I don't wanna." Kagome whiningly protests him. Inuyasha smirks and locks her in the walk in closet. "Are you out of your mind?" Kagome shows an angry expression, making Inuyasha grin even more. "You know the first thing to do is to get dressed for school. That's why we're in here." He explains his point to his mate. Kagome sighs in defeat and browses through her clothes. Inuyasha leaves the closet and washes down his face. "What about you, Inuyasha?" Kagome asks him from the closet. Come to think of it, Inuyasha should've got himself dressed up for today as well. "Oh yeah, well.. I prefer to wash up first then get dress. I do my routine, you do yours." He defends his ranks of how to get himself ready. Kagome rolls her eyes and puts on a nice pair of blue jeans, and a shirt with a smirf that says lazy on it. She grooms her hair, carefully around her ears, and put it in a low ponytail. And then she ties a silver ribbon on both sides for the pigtail still. Last but not least, the disguise ring.
In the mean time Inuyasha finished up his face and swap places with Kagome. While Kagome washes her face as well brushing her teeth, Inuyasha gets himself a pair of washed out jeans and a black t-shirt with Nickelback printed on it. He does the same thing with his hair as Kagome does. "You guys better be ready or you'll be late for school." Izayoi called from outside their bathroom. Kagome blushes in embarrassment, and it immediately gets the feeling to her mate. "We'll be out soon." Inuyasha called back.
Like Inuyasha said to him mother, the mated pair get out of the bathroom and grab their school bags. "I'll see you guys at the school." Inutaishou gets his son's attention. "Just don't make any embarrassments to us dad." Inuyasha said to him back before he and Kagome head to Inuyasha's car. "I just hope your dad doesn't show his true self to the entire school." Kagome said to him with a sweat drop from the back of her head. Inuyasha pulls out the garage, and enters the street once the gate opens for him. "Trust me Kagome, none of the students, except you, me, and our friends really know what my dad looks like. So you don't have to worry about it." He calms her by taking her hand with his own. Kagome nods and they both silently drove to school.
At homeroom, Inuyasha and Kagome see Sango and Miroku in their usual spot of the room. "Hey guys." Kagome greets them first and takes her seat. "Hey you two." Sango greets back. "So I bet something interesting is going to happen." Miroku leans to Inuyasha with a curious look. Inuyasha looks back with a weird look. "So? It's just an average day for us to get our education one two three." He lies back to him. Miroku doesn't seem to be persuaded one bit. "Yeah right. I know something very interesting is going to happen today." Inuyasha isn't letting this guy ruin his pride. "You'll just have to wait and see." The bell rings, alerting the students to take their seats.
In the middle of class, a feedback noise gets everyone's attention. "Excuse me for the interruption." The principal Hinji speaks through the microphone in the office. "I want everyone to report to the auditorium immediately." He requested. Soon the students lined up and head forward to the auditorium as planned. Kagome and Inuyasha as walking side by side, anxious for what's going to happen. They enter the enormous room and took their seats in a random row along with Sango and Miroku.
The light dim down to get the students and faculty's attention towards the stage. "Everyone I'm hear to discuss a very important issue that's been happened lately this year." Mr. Hinji said to the crowd with a stern look as a projector screen slowly comes down in the middle of the stage. "Everyone, I've a special guest coming in today. He's the proud owner of this school facility and will give you a reason on why you're not supposed to be one meanest people in the world; A Bully." Some of the students widen their eyes, while others murmurs on what the guest will talk about this topic. "Without further ado, please welcome Mr. Inutaishou Takahashi." The audience applaud as Inutaishou comes to the podium and adjusts the microphone. "Thank you Mr Hinji for having me here." He said gratefully with a smile, but soon to a straight line, showing everyone this is one serious person. "Good morning, to you guys. Just like your principal mentioned, this assembly is going to focus on Bullying, one of the most meanest, careless, and possibly the most dangerous things that anyone would dare to do." He said casually as he turns on the laptop that has been hooked up to the projector to display. "Guys bullying is one thing you should never do, it's just one bad thing to do, and there are methods on it." He clicks onto a document with the title 'Bullying' on it. "The first one is physical. Say one day you're minding your own business until someone you knows comes up to you. Threatening you to give up anything valiable, and if you refuse then that person will do any physical contact on you as in injuring you in the process." He explains with what's on the first slide of the powerpoint. He clicks to the next slide, "The next method is verbal bullying. Guys we have to watch what we say about other people. They're specific ways are these: Negavtivity as in jealously. Jealously is the primary cause of verbal bullying. Those who are feeling this way is because of class as in what position you're in and think you're better than others, and possession." Inutaishou shows a serious look. "Not only that, they'd go great lengths to do any of these things as well, blackmail." Some of the students gasps for something like that could be part of bullying. "Everyone throughout this world, there's one bully after another. They use these tactics to take advantage of their victims, breaking their confidence, their spirits, or worse convince them to commit suicide."
The teachers are being extremely attentive on this. They resume on what Inutaishou have to say next. "Guys do you know that blackmail is illegal? It's crime, and if you guys get caught in the act, there are serious punishments as in you'd be in prison for your actions." He warns the students. He can sense their auras that a few of them have been doing way back then. "Did you guys even know that there have been surveillance cameras all over the school and outside here, I mean everywhere. So if I were you, I'd think twice on what I'd be doing and not to be punished." He warns them, but not threatening them thoroughly. He can see that some of the student are easily frighten by his tone of voice. 'Your dad knows how to teach these guys a lesson.' Kagome thought to Inuyasha. "Oh you're in safe hands by my family." Inuyasha thought back to her. They can sense the intention going crazy all around them. "Guys here's my advice for you. If you spot anyone doing any of this try your best not to completely involved in the situation but stop the real bully and make sure the victim is protected, so that they don't think about commiting suicide." Inutaishou advices them. "Before I finish this, for whoever have been bullied, don't be afraid to come up to us and we can negotiate your problem. From now one everyone, you'll be watched by these cameras around the place. And if any of you do anything that involves with any of this information I warned you about, we will contact your parents about this and they will decide on how the punishment with befall on you."
Inutaishou finalized his lecture. After the assembly the students who have been bullied thought about his advise and decide to do it. Kagome and Inuyasha walk down to their next class in the hallway towards the other side of the building. "I hope those bullies will regret of ever doing their things." Kagome thought to him, not to get caught the cameras to hear her voice. "Trust me Kagome, dad made sure that the super intendent was involved and to interview the students." Inuyasha nods in agree as well to calm her down.
