The next morning everyone woke up late to the sound of alarms ringing threw the house everyone jumped to life and began running around groaning looking for the things they needed for their day as they all took off on their way to their first classes Jeff Inuyasha and kagome met at the door and started walking together.
" hey wheres Ashley?" kagome asked curiously.
" shes not feeling well so shes staying home to rest." Jeff replied double checking his things to make sure he didn't forget anything.
" she was in bed all yesterday to and she didn't even drink last night whats the deal did you finally get some and she cant walk now?" Inuyasha asked smirking at his brother.
" stop being gross Inuyasha." kagome scowled as she slapped him in the head. Jeff just shook his head.
" she just hasn't been feeling well lately that's all." Jeff answered.
Back at the house Ashley laid in bed rolling around restlessly with a high fever her head ached and throbbed like she had never felt before she held her hands to her head in an attempt to use her power to make the pain stop but to her surprise it only made it increasingly intolerable. And just when she thought she couldn't take it anymore something happened.
" hes a monster, he killed me..that disgusting monster killed me.." Ashley heard a very soft and faint voice whisper. This made her jump to an upright position and open her eyes as she glanced around the room looking for the source of the voice. But no one was there.
" it must have just been a dream." she told herself and dismissed it feeling the pain return to her throbbing head. So she laid back down and slowly allowed her self to drift into another dream.
At school Jeff felt as though he was going crazy something seemed terribly wrong as though there was a presence lurking over his shoulder, breathing on his neck all morning but clearly there was no one there. So he continued on with his day until he met up with the others for lunch they would always meet at this great little cafe just off campus.
" hey Inuyasha is it just me or does something not feel right today?" Jeff asked his brother still feeling extremely uncomfortable.
" your just missing your girl man, don't think about it to much and just get threw your day you just look miserable and lonely." Inuyasha replied shrugging off his brothers comment.
" miserable yes but I don't think he looks lonely just confused." Sango pitched in not making Jeff feel any better about this awkward feeling he has been having all day.
" come on guys lay off the guy hes clearly having an off day." kagome said patting him on the back. After lunch Jeff headed off to math while the others walked to their next classes.
" hey Jeff really seemed out of it today he kept spacing out you'd think there was a black cloud hanging over his head or something." Miroku stated with a slightly intrigued look on his face.
" hes just depressed that's all hell be fine." Sango replied shrugging off Miroku's concern.
"I just wonder whats got him all worked up like that." Miroku persisted.
" him and Ashley are probably fighting its none of our business." Sango replied sternly tiring of this conversation. Jeff arrived in his math class and took his usual seat but to his surprise there was someone sitting directly in front of him. This was different no one ever sits near me. Jeff thought to himself. Then he looked up and realized it was that girl from yesterday and she was looking back at him now with a smile.
" hey you never texted me last night." Ukina said slightly pouting.
" oh sorry I must have lost your number on my way home." Jeff lied.
" oh that's ok here." Ukina answered smiling as she took his large rough hand in her small soft pale one and wrote her number on his hand. " so you don't lose it." she smiled at him.
"Great." Jeff replied with a half halfhearted smile while repeating the same word in his head much more sarcastically then he had allowed himself to say it. As he stared back at the beautiful girl smiling at him he noticed the slightest flicker float across her bright blue eyes, almost like a spark.
" well don't forget to text me tonight so I can have your number." she said before turning back around before being scolded by the professor. Jeff noticed a small twitch in her eye as she turned around and reached for her umbrella when suddenly water started pouring from the ceiling and an alarm rang threw the building. Everyone in the room flooded out the doors of the building thankful to be out of class due to the fire alarm. As Jeff nonchalantly stood up and began walking out of the room he felt a small soft hand wrap around his and tug him toward the door. He looked up to see Ukina perfectly dry with an umbrella in one hand and his hand in the other as she smiled at him and pulled him out of the room.
" come on your getting soaked." she said pulling him out the front door of the building to the beautiful day outside and folding up her umbrella.
" did you do that?" Jeff asked curiously staring at the girl before him wondering what the hell had just happened.
" what do you mean?" she asked tilting her head and looking confused.
" never mind." Jeff mumbled and shrugged it off.
" so what are you going to do now that we don't have class?" Ukina asked him curiously.
" well I guess ill go home." Jeff answered and shrugged as though it was the common sense thing to do. They continued walking down the street for a little bit until they came to a park.
" you know you could just sit in the park and tell me about your self to that sounds more fun then just going home don't you agree?" Ukina suggested cheerfully. Jeff then realized she had been holding his hand the entire time and quickly pulled his hand away.
" I guess." Jeff answered without looking at her directly slightly embarrassed now. So the two sat down on a park bench under a tree and began to tell each other about themselves. In the mean time they had not realized they had been followed since they walked out of the school hand in hand by four very interested friends of Jeff's.
" well now we know why hes been acting weird all day hes been waiting to see his other sweetheart, what a lucky man two beautiful women all to himself." Miroku sighed out of jealousy.
" your fucking disgusting if I ever caught you doing something like this id mount your head on my wall." Sango said sternly raising her voice.
" be quite you guys before they hear us!" kagome whispered from behind the tree she was hiding behind as she watched Jeff sit there talking with this girl every few minutes shed see the girl smile and laugh a little it seemed as thought they were having a grand old time. " I cant believe he would do this to Ashley.." kagome sighed as she felt sick at the thought of how Ashley would feel if she found out.
" it seems innocent enough to me?" Inuyasha questioned as though it really wasn't that big of a deal.
" Inuyasha if I ever caught you doing this id never speak to you again." kagome announced angrily at his ignorance. When she looked back she saw Jeff walking away from the bench and he was alone. " hey where did she go?" kagome asked confused.
" she went home." Inuyasha answered.
" oh well I guess we can stop hiding then." kagome sighed letting her back slide down the tree she had been hiding behind until she fell to her bottom.
Back at the house Ashley tossed and turned in bed uncontrollably she began to unconsciously levitate as an orange orb surrounded her entire body illuminated the room with an orange glow that got brighter and brighter as the energy in the orb grew stronger.
As Jeff walked down the street towards the house very conscious of his company that had been tailing him since the park he grew tired of the game and decided to turn around and face them. When he turned they all bolted for cover.
" I know your there you can all come out now." Jeff said sternly clearly showing he was pissed about being followed. The four slowly came out and started walking towards him.
" you have some nerve going on romantic strolls threw the park while your poor girlfriend is sick at home in bed what would she think if she saw..." kagome started ranting and raving before her and her words came to a complete halt mid sentence, along with the four bodies who stood there gazing in awe at Jeff.
" well what the fuck are you all gawking at." Jeff said angrily pissed at the looks on their faces as though he was some kind of circus freak. But what Jeff didn't realize was they were not looking at him at all, they were staring at the monstrosity that had appeared behind him out of thin air. A large rip opened out of no where it appeared to be a rip threw space and time. And on the other side was the vicious snarling face of a large black dog with glowing red eyes with pure insanity filling the pupils they saw the pure madness swirling in the beasts glare as a large black clawed hand the size of a mansion reached into their world.
" Jeff look out..." Inuyasha whispered in awe but he couldn't spit it out fast enough for Jeff to be ready when the beast grabbed his entire body almost crushing his bones to dust with its grip and pulled him into its world.
" what the fuck just happened!" Inuyasha screamed as he ran full speed toward the quickly closing tear threw time only to fall short by just a second. " I need to go talk to Sesshomaru ill see you guys back at the house." Inuyasha spat out quickly before heading off full speed to his brothers house. The others quickly arrived home to await Inuyasha's return and explanation of what was going on. But when they arrived they met another unexpected circumstance. As the walked toward the front they noticed a bright orange glow shining threw one of the bedroom windows.
" that's Ashley's bedroom!" kagome exclaimed as she ran for the front door.
" what the hell is going on first Jeff now her somethings not right." Sango exclaimed worriedly. As her kagome and Miroku ran up to Ashley's room to find the source of the light. To their great surprise when they opened the door to the room they saw Ashley levitating in an orange orb above her bed the light was blinding and forceful not allowing anyone to get close to her but kagome could tell she was hurt her breathing was heavy and she was sweating but the energy wouldn't allow anyone to get close to her.
" we need to call Sesshomaru and tell him about this right now before something happens." kagome hurriedly spit out as she pulled out her cell phone.
" great idea kagome he will know what to do." Miroku agreed. Kagome fidgeted impatiently as she waited for Sesshomaru to answer and the look of worry grew on her face as she starred at the state her cousin was in. finally he answered and was surprised to hear this news about two Ashley's and the current state of the one they had this especially worried him after what Inuyasha had just finished explaining to him so both demons rushed over to the collage house to see what was happening.
