Binas: Hopefully the correction to last chapter was good enough, now for this chapter! It's a bit of a filler...
I got some things up my sleeves... Sorry if this story sucks like crap in certain chapters. I am not a perfect writer, but who says practice doesn't help you improve. The more you do something, the better you get. Trust me, I have written WAY crappier stories than the ones you have seen on my account... Maybe one or two on this account but that's it.
Here is my first crap filled story, feel free to tell me how bad it sucks and stuff:

Trust me. That link leads to my worst story of all times. I was only about 12~13 years old at the time and before I even started getting completely immersed in Fanfictions like I am now. Heck, I didn't even know of this site back then. Back then my OC, Sabrina, was WAY underdeveloped and was nothing more than a a Mary Sue in a way (which I didn't know existed back then) before becoming the flawed filled little girl (with some issues) she is today.

Last time...
"So Kagome won't remember a thing about being possessed?", Inuyasha asked.
"Nope. She was under XANA's will and conscious so she had no control over her subconscious thoughts and consciousness.", Jeremie said.
"English please, Einstein!", Odd said.
"XANA was in control of her thoughts and actions thus, she will not remember what she thought, said, or did. I thought I explained it to you.", Jeremie said.
"I don't remember your techno babble speeches! They just fall out of my ears!", Odd said.
Everyone began to laugh.
.
It had been about a week since The Lyoko Warriors learned of Inuyasha's demonic heritage. That explained almost everything about him. What it didn't solve was his bad attitude.
Jeremie had asked Kagome about why Inuyasha was so rude and ill tempered. Kagome refused to tell him anything at first until he brought up the fact that Inuyasha gave him permission to ask about it. That was when Jeremie finally got some answers. The answers however were not what he expected.
Kagome told Jeremie how Inuyasha was hated by both worlds for his human and demon blood. It had got to the point after his mom's death, that the people around him started getting even more violent and restless about him. At one point Jeremie learned that Inuyasha was once almost burned alive to remedy 'a plague' that didn't even exist. He only survived due to the Robe of the Fire Rat and being half demon.
Jeremie could only cringe in disgust and horror that Kagome told him. He also learned that Kagome learned all of this in a strange dream that occurred the night after they banished a nasty sword called So'unga, The Sword of Death. She did say Jim's famous quote 'I'd rather not talk about it' when Jeremie asked about that sword.
"Thank you for answering my questions, Kagome.", Jeremie said.
"Not a problem.", Kagome said.
Later...
"So he was almost BURNED alive?!", Yumi asked.
"I thought I had it rough. That's worse than the hazing that happened to me and my dad berating me.", Ulrich said.
"I had no idea people could be so cruel to those who are different.", Aelita said with sorrow on her face.
"All of this is making me want to cry.", Odd said.
"It does explain the very coarse perspective he expresses.", Jeremie said, "Having such traumatic experiences at a young age can lead to indecent perspectives and thought processes."
"Can you simplify that please?", Odd asked.
"Basically, due to all of the abuse he suffered, he grew up to be what we see today. Kagome did say that she did rub off a bit on him, though he refuses to admit it.", Jeremie said, "We are pretty lucky he didn't become a psychopath."
"What do you think we can do for him?", Aelita asked.
"I am pretty sure his blind love for Kagome will hopefully help him.", Odd said.
"Odd, be serious!", Yumi scolded.
"I was being serious!", Odd said, "I have heard that love can heal a wounded heart and seen it work."
"Yeah right. That was in the movie 'I Napped With Your Mother'.", Ulrich said disgusted by the thought of the movie, "Can't believe you watched a movie like that!"
"Hey, I had no idea that the old man was going to do that to the mom!", Odd defended with heavy blush on his face, "Besides I thought it was a horror movie!"
"Can we please get back on focus!", Yumi said.
"The best we can do is be his friends.", Jeremie said.
Later that Night... Inuyasha's Memory of Childhood/Dream/Nightmare...
Inuyasha ran up to a group of kids in the village playing Kemari Ball. He wanted to play, despite them throwing the ball away yesterday when he was only watching them from afar.
"Can I play? Please!", Inuyasha begged.
The children looked up to their parents who gave viscous grins. The parents whispered to their children. Inuyasha could make out the phrases 'Humiliate that little crappy excuse of a child' and 'Be as rash as you want'. The kids gained nasty smirks and turned to Inuyasha.
"Try to keep up, half breed.", One of the kids said with a teeny bit of venom in her voice.
The kids began playing at a fast pace. The smallest boy in the group hit the ball and the ball smacked Inuyasha right in the ears.
"OW!", Inuyasha cried as he rubbed his sore ears.
"Extra points if you hit the half breed in the ears!", The eldest boy in the group shouted as he pointed at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha's ears had become a hot-spot to hit at that moment. When the game ended, Inuyasha had bruised ears. The parents of the kids laughed at Inuyasha's pain from the nasty treatment their kids gave him. One of the parents picked up the ball and threw it, making it look like an accident in the process, over the mini bridge. Inuyasha ran after the ball to get back for them. Once Inuyasha got the ball, he saw that the parents leave with their children. He lowered his head in sadness. He then saw his mom, Izayoi, sitting not to far away looking at the flowers.
Inuyasha threw away the Kemari Ball and ran for his mom. He slammed right into her and gave her a hug.
"Mom... What's a half breed?", Inuyasha asked.
"Oh Inuyasha...", Izayoi said as she stroked his hair gently.
~Flash forward in dream sequence...~
"MOM!", Inuyasha screamed in horror as he was being dragged away.
Izayoi was being dragged away in bindings to a stake. She was crying out in pain as the villagers cheered on the 'ceremony'.
"You have become impure for being with that half demon. To cleanse of the recent plagues of impurity that have come onto you and the village, we must burn you and the half demon. May our sacrifices heal this land's crops!", The leader of the village shouted, causing a massive roar of cheers as some of the soldiers tied Inuyasha to a stake.
"Don't do this! Inuyasha is an innocent child!", Izayoi shouted, "He's my son! My precious son!"
"Nonsense, Izayoi! That half breed is NOT your son! He is nothing but scum that should have been killed and cast away a long time ago! He should have never been born!", The leader shouted.
The crowds cheered as the stakes went aflame. Izayoi screamed in agony as the flames. Inuyasha screamed in horror and sadness as his mom burned into ashes right in front of him.
"MOMMY!", Inuyasha wailed.
Many of the villagers grew curious as to why Inuyasha hadn't burned up yet. That was until one old man told them that it was the Robe of the Fire Rat, a robe made from the furs of a demon rat that can't be burned due to it's fire and heatproof fur.
"STRIP THAT DEMON OF IT'S CLOTHES THEN CONTINUE TO BURN HIM!", One man screamed in the crowd, causing more cheers, "LET HIM BURN IN HUMILIATION!"
Many villagers grabbed buckets of water and begun to put out the flames. However, they never foresaw what they saw. Inuyasha stood there, with no burns on him, and the bindings nothing but ashes now. He had an angry looked on his face.
"YOU... KILLED... MY... MOM!", Inuyasha roared in anger and punched one of the villagers in the face, causing the villager to go flying.
The villagers screamed and tried to get away. But Inuyasha was too angry and fast for them. He continued to beat all the villagers to a pulp, but didn't kill them. He wouldn't sink that low. The most he did to them was knock them out, gave them nasty concussions, and broke a few bones, badly. Inuyasha took a torch and set the entire food shed in the village up in flames along with their well.
After the damages had been done, Inuyasha stole some of the undamaged food, an empty jar with a lid, money, and some of the already collected water before dashing out to where his mom's ashes were. He scooped up the ashes in the jar, sealed it shut, and carried it away with him, out of the village.
Back in the real world...
Inuyasha woke up panting a bit. He hated those particular dreams. Unfortunately, his distress didn't go unnoticed. Jeremie was once again pulling another all nighter. Due to Inuyasha's 'forced' placement into the group, the others had been watching him like a hawk to any sudden signs of betrayal.
"Is something wrong Inuyasha?", Jeremie asked with a yawn as he lifted his head from the keyboard, "I heard you muttering something about your mom."
"Nothing. Go back to sleep, runt.", Inuyasha said bitterly and went back to himself in the corner.
In Odd and Ulrich's room...
Due to Inuyasha's nocturnal hollering, Odd was forced awake. Ulrich however, had his industrial grade earplugs in his ears and was still asleep.
"Good grief, hasn't anyone heard of sleeping?", Odd asked with a yawn.
Kiwi barked at Odd's question. Odd petted Kiwi.
"You've said Kiwi! My little diggity dog!", Odd said and hugged Kiwi and went back to sleep with Kiwi in his arms.
Next morning...
"Hello Sunday!", Ulrich said sipping his hot chocolate as he leaned on the vending machine.
"Which means we are free from Ms. Hertz's class!", Odd said as Kiwi squirmed in his backpack, "Calm down Kiwi, I will let you out in a minute."
"I think he is telling you to let him out or he will leave a mess in your backpack!", Yumi said making everyone but Odd laugh.
"Hardy, har har.", Odd faked laughed, "Kiwi's just upset that he is cooped up in my bag, aren't my little diggity dog?"
Kiwi barked in response, knowing that his owner understood.
At that moment, Inuyasha and Kagome came by.
"Hi Inuyasha. Want to come over here?", Aelita said.
"Come on.", Kagome said, "It won't be that bad."
Inuyasha was unable to respond due to the fact Kagome dragged him behind her. Odd snickered a bit.
"Hey, are you two girlfriend and boyfriend now?", Odd asked.
Both Inuyasha and Kagome stopped briefly and blushed.
"She/He is not my girl/boyfriend!", Both Kagome and Inuyasha yelled.
"She's a shard detector! I don't like her like that!", Inuyasha added and Kagome glared at him.
Kagome did however have a bit of hurt in her eyes, but Inuyasha didn't even notice.
"Inuyasha...", Kagome said dangerously low.
"I feel like someone dumped cold water one me. Is that normal?", Aelita said.
"In this situation, by the looks of it, yes.", Jeremie said.
The Lyoko Warriors backed away slowly. What they saw happen next, had them jumping back even further.
"SIT BOY!", Kagome shouted.
Inuyasha yelped and fell to the ground face first. He didn't even have time to get back up. Odd cringed, Ulrich winced, Jeremie and Aelita hid their faces in their arms, and Yumi blinked at what unfolded.
"SIT BOY! SIT BOY! SIT! SIT! SIT!", Kagome shouted in rapid fire.
After Kagome took a few breaths before stomping away, leaving Inuyasha in his personal, miniature crater. Inuyasha moaned as he crawled out of the crater with an irritated look. He managed to get to his feet, once he was out of the crater.
"I have had girls slap me in the face but, this takes the cake.", Odd said, "You got it bad, don't you?"
"Shut up...", Inuyasha growled.
Kiwi, by this point, had already went in odd's bag due to Kagome scaring the crap out of him. Kiwi whimpered in the bag. Odd heard his dog whimpering, and not even caring about the mess, took Kiwi out and began comforting his little dog.
