InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Fallen ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho

 

Shippo will be in this story, just not as an adult. He'll still be young no da.

 

 

Ch.7

 

Yusuke was a little confused. He hadn't seen his mom in a while. And there was no beer in the fridge. How weird. He poked his head in her room and saw it empty. `Where could she be?' he wondered to himself.

 

Out of no where, Kagome popped up behind him. “Atsuko san is at work.”

 

He jumped at the sound of her voice. `How does she do that?'

 

Botan had brought everyone home a few hours earlier. It was now dark. Kagome stared at him. “Shouldn't you be doing something right now?”

 

He rose an eyebrow at her question. “Like what?”

 

Rolling her eyes she pointed to his bag in his room. “Hm, maybe… homework?”

 

Snorting he brushed past her and sat on the couch as he turned on the TV. “Yeah, like I'd ever do my homework.”

 

Pushing him over, Kagome grabbed the control and started flipping channels.

 

“Hey! I was watching that!” Yusuke protested. She promptly ignored him and kept changing the channels.

 

“If you don't do your homework, how did you ever get into high school?” she asked, her eyes never leaving the screen.

 

He shrugged, not that she would see it anyways. “I wonder about that myself.”

 

Handing the control back to Yusuke, Kagome got up and went into the kitchen. “What do you want to eat?” she called out.

 

“I don't care.”

 

She grunted. Picking up the phone, she started dialing in some numbers. “Hello, Pizza Palace? Yes, I'd like a large pizza, half pepperoni half meat combo. … uh huh. Thanks. Bye.”

 

She hung up the phone and jumped back on the couch, landing on Yusuke's legs. It seems he had taken up the whole couch when she left. “Ow! Get off! Your heavy!” Yusuke whined when Kagome didn't move.

 

Her eyes flashed. “I am not heavy! Your just weak!” she said as she stuck out her tongue at him.

 

“Yeah right! You need to lose some pounds!”

 

“Bad move!” And in an instant, Yusuke was sprawled out on the ground, with various red fist and footmarks all over his body.

 

Kagome let out a triumphant `heh' before her attention was turned back to the TV.

 

After recovering, Yusuke made himself comfortable on the floor. He propped his head up with his hand and silently observed her.

 

Feeling eyes on her, she looked over to him and rose an eyebrow. “What?”

 

He blinked a few times before answering. “I was just wondering… what was dog boy to you? The way you looked at him back in the toddler's office was kinda scary.”

 

Her eyes were downcast when she answered. “He was… the guy I use to cry over. The one who left me for another”, she said in barely a whisper.

 

Yusuke scratched his head uncomfortably. “Uh… I'm sorry…?” `I think I asked the wrong question…'

 

She looked at him with a fake tiny smile on her face. “You really know how to cheer up a girl.” Getting up from the couch, she headed for her room. On the way, she dropped the TV controllers on his chest. “I'll be in my room for a while. I'll be out when the pizza comes.” She said without even turning her head to look at him.

 

He watched her leave and quietly shut her door with sad eyes. `Wow… what a jerk off. Stupid dog boy. I'll make sure he won't hurt her ever again.' He thought with his hand clenched in determination.

 

-In Kagome's room-

From under her futon, she took out a photo album. She had also hidden it with her money, and had managed to hide it from Yusuke when she brought it back with her.

 

She opened the book, and gazed at the pictures. She chuckled as memories flooded

Into her mind as she looked at each individual picture. There was one picture of Shippo biting Inuyasha's ear. That day Inuyasha had stolen Shippo's chocolate once he had tasted a piece of the chocolate bar and realized he liked it. Shippo retaliated and bit his ear hard. Chucking her self, she softly grazed the picture with her fingers.

 

She missed her son. That was the only person, who they hadn't found yet. Kirara was reincarnated as Sango's cat. Ironic eh? Miroku's guess was that he is probably in elementary school, maybe 1st or 2nd grade.

 

Flipping through some more pages, her face was displayed with emotions of her reactions to each picture. She stopped at the end of the book. Her eyes watered, as one single tear dropped onto the picture.

 

It was of inuyasha. He had no idea she had taken this picture. This was in the feudal era, and he was sitting the Goshinboku, gazing sadly at the sky. One leg was on the branch, propped up with a clawed hand resting on it. His other leg was dangling, as his other hand was lying on his thigh. The moonlight was perfect; making his hair shine like a pool of silver was running down his head and onto his back.

 

But the thing that made this picture so special was the look on his face. It showed all the pain and loneliness he had always carried with him. His eyes were gazing sadly at the moon, silently wishing that races, humans and youkai alike would accept him. His mouth was turned into a dejected frown, making his beautiful face the portrait of sorrow.

 

Wiping the tear away, she gazed at his face. The man she loved was once again taken by another. `I guess I broke my promise of never crying over Inuyasha…' she thought to herself while wiping her eyes. Closing the album, she put it back under the futon. “But no more crying over spilt milk. It was in the past! I will move on. CARPE DIEM!” she yelled as she shot her fist in the air.

 

Rushing to her door, she kicked it open and walked happily over to the kitchen to take out the plates for the pizza.

 

Yusuke jumped up from the floor when he heard Kagome yell something. His eyes widened as her door was suddenly kicked open and she came out with a new air of confidence around her. He held his heart; those sudden outbursts nearly gave him a heart attack! And he was too young to die… again. `Oh crap… I still haven't explained to Kagome about how I died. Oh well, she hasn't asked. Saves me a lot of time.'

 

Walking over to the kitchen, he peered through the doorway. Kagome was whistling happily as she reached into the cabinets for the plates. Collecting knifes and cups; she carefully balanced them on the plates and started walking towards the table.

 

She felt Yusuke's presence. `Hm… now is the time to corner the mouse.' “Hey Yu-chan?”

 

He winced at the nickname but answered her none the less. “Yeah?”

 

“How did you die?” she asked sweetly. She walked past him and put down the utensils. Walking back into the kitchen, she grabbed the pizza cutter.

 

He fell to the floor anime style. `Did she read my mind or something?!' “Eh, it's a really long story.” He said from his place on the floor.

 

She walked over to him and crouched. “But Yu-chaaaaaaaaan! Come on! We can swap stories!”

 

He eyed her. She looked innocent enough, plus did promise to tell her. And that blade was also freaking him out.

 

Blowing the bangs out of his face, he sighed. “Fine. It all happened when I was trying to save this little boy…”

 

-Half hour later-

“… And that's how I became a spirit detective and met the whole gang.”

 

Her eyes were wide. “Wow, and I thought my life was hard. You know, you're a really good story teller!” she said happily as she clapped her hands together (while managing not to cut her hand with the knife).

 

He rolled his eyes at her carefree attitude. “So what about your story?”

 

Putting a finger to her chin, she thought for a moment. “Nah, too lazy. Besides, you know the important parts of the story right?”

 

A vein in his temple twitched. “AW COME ON! IT'S JUST A STUPID STORY!”

 

“My my, what a temper Yu-Chan!” she said while smiling innocently at him. Inwardly, she grinned. It was too easy to taunt him sometimes. Just then the doorbell rang.

 

“Pizza!” she screamed happily. After she had paid the pizza deliverer, she started eating. Yusuke got up from the floor at sat down, glaring at her from across the table.

 

Seeing his glare, she decided to be nice. “Oh okay fine I'll tell you. It all happened when I was 15…”

 

-15 minutes later-

Yusuke rose an eyebrow. “So the jewel came from inside your body? Weird…”

 

“Yeah you're telling me. Especially when a centipede youkai bites your side for it!” she replied while rubbing her hip. That was painful!

 

“So that Naraku guy… he's the same one from the past?”

 

She nodded. “Yep, damn bastard! Can't stay dead!”

 

He stared at her. “How did you defeat him? I mean you told us you died defeating him right?”

 

She smiled at him and tapped his nose with her forefinger. “That is a story for another time.” She watched as Yusuke downed his 7th piece of pizza. That can't be human.

 

Yusuke just looked at his pizza while he ate it, thinking about what Kagome said. `Hm, I wonder why she won't tell me now.' Shrugging, he continued eating.

 

 

 

-Next Morning-

“Beep… Beep… Beep…”

 

Groaning, a lump emerged from a bunch of discarded blankets. A huge hand sloppily hit the snooze button on the alarm clock, and pulled the covers of his head to go back to sleep.

 

Putting his head on the pillow, Yusuke was going to fall back to sleep when his door was once again shoved open.

 

The wind from the pressure of the door being swung open so hard, played with his hair, making his bed head hair even messier. Glaring daggers at the person who always woke him up, his sleepy eyes suddenly widened.

 

There was Kagome, standing in blue girls uniform, that was the same style of his. That could mean only one thing. She was going to school with him.

 

He moaned as he hid his head under his pillow. Life was going to be so much harder on him.

 

Kagome smirked at him. From his reaction, he figured out the surprise. Oh how she was going to love bugging him at school and at home. Walking over to him, she yanked the pillow from his hands and crouched down. She tilted her head at him. “GOOD MORNING! Get up! We wouldn't want to be late for school would we?”

 

He stared at her, but not at her face. When she crouched down, her skirt opened to give him a nice view of her panties. He smirked up at her. “Nice black panties. I kinda thought you were the type to wear stripes or have a little rose on the front.”

 

Her eyes widened in horror as she realized she had just flashed him. Gritting her teeth, she quickly stood up and kicked him hard in the head.

 

“Ow! What was that for?!”

 

Her face was red from embarrassment and anger. “For being a pervert! GET UP FOR

SCHOOL NOW!” she said, screaming the last part. Storming out of the room, she left behind a fuming Yusuke.

 

After their little morning drama, they both managed to make it to school on time with time to spare. Not that Yusuke cared.

 

People stared at the couple. Questions were running through everyone's mind about the girl that was walking with `the great Urameshi'.

 

Kagome rose an eyebrow the students staring. “Man, are you sure popular. What did you do? Blow up a school?” she said sarcastically. She hated when people stared at her.

 

Yusuke just shrugged as he rested his hands behind his head. “Dunnoe. I've just beaten up a lot of guys in my day.”

 

She looked at him with a disapproving look. “Ah I see, so you're a famous bully then?”

 

He looked at her out of the corner of his eye and smirked. “I guess you could say it like that.”

 

Rolling her eyes, she looked around. “So do the others go here too?” she asked him. `Them' referring to Kuwabara and Kurama.

 

“I think Kurama does. Not so sure about Kuwabara.”

 

As if on que, Kuwabara showed up on the scene. “Hey guys! Whoa, Urameshi is actually going to school?”

 

Kagome shook her head as Yusuke growled. “Shut up! Kagome made me go to school! She would have killed me if I didn't. Plus she's new, so I have to show her where the office is.”

 

Kuwabara looked at Yusuke skeptically. “You let a woman boss you around? Man, is your reputation gunna go down-“ but was cut off by a death glare by Kagome. Shivering slightly, he started to sweat. “Well, uh, I'll be going now. BYE!” and with that he ran off with a cloud of dust trailing behind him.

 

Yusuke watched Kuwabara go. “Man, you can be scary sometimes.”

 

Just as Kagome was about to hit him in the head, Sango, Miroku and Kurama showed up.

 

“Whoa, do you guys all walk to school together or something?” Kagome asked. She grinned inwardly as she saw Sango peek glances at Kurama. `Heh, so Sango has a crush on the fox eh? Well, I will have fun teasing her about it…'

 

“No, I just ran into Miroku and Sango along the way. Apparently we all live close together.” Kurama added thoughtfully with a charming smile.

 

Girls all around them stopped to swoon at Kurama.

 

Clutching Yusuke's arm, her eyes darted around. “What's with the creepy girls with the hearts in their eyes?” she asked.

 

Yusuke chuckled. “All the girls are obsessed with Kurama. They even have a fan club for him.”

 

Kagome looked at Kurama with pity in her eyes. “I'm so sorry Kurama! You must have to endure so much!” she said as she let go of Yusuke's arm and went over to hug Kurama.

 

Jealousy flamed from both Sango and Yusuke as they watched Kagome embrace Kurama. The girls watching the group also flared with jealousy and glared daggers at her.

 

Miroku, seeing everyone high in emotions, decided to break the tension that was slowly building. Clearing his throat he said, “Kagome, why don't you have Yusuke take you to the office to get your schedule? School's going to start soon.”

 

Kagome released Kurama and smiled at Miroku. “Oh okay!” Grabbing Yusuke, she started dragging him towards school. “We'll see you guys later alright? BYE!”

 

The trio watched as they saw poor helpless Yusuke getting dragged away.

 

Turning around Kurama looked at the two remaining. “Shall we go to class?” (FYI all 3 of the have their first classes together.)

---

 

With his hands in his pockets, Yusuke walked towards the office with a smiling Kagome behind him. She noticed how even more people seemed to stare at them as they walked through the halls.

 

“Don't you ever get annoyed of all the people staring at you?” Kagome asked clearly agitated.

 

He just shrugged. “You get use to it.”

 

Opening a door, he walked towards a desk. A middle aged looked up at him from the computer and sighed. “What did you do this early in the morning Mr. Urameshi?” she asked in a dreary voice.

 

Yusuke just smirked. “I'm not here today for me Mrs. Suzuki. My friend here,” he said gesturing to Kagome, who politely waved, “needs her schedule.”

 

Mrs. Suzuki tilted sideways in her chair to look at Kagome. `She looks nice enough. Makes you wonder why she's hanging around with the trouble maker Urameshi.' “Hello dear. What's your name?” she asked, her attitude changing to being suddenly nice.

 

Kagome smiled as she pushed Yusuke out of the way to talk to the secretary. “Kagome Higurashi, Mrs…?”

 

“Mrs. Suzuki. My are you polite. Here's your schedule! I hope you don't get into too much trouble. Mr. Urameshi here just seems to attract it.”

 

Giggling, Kagome took her schedule and looked at Yusuke. “I think I can handle Yu-Chan!” she said while pinching his cheeks.

 

He glared at her as he pried her fingers off his cheeks. “Whatever, let's go.”

 

Waving goodbye, Mrs. Suzuki watched the two teenagers go. “Ah, young love.”

---

 

Ironically, her first period was with Yusuke. The bell rang just as they stepped in the classroom.

 

The teacher, Mr. Tanaka, looked at the newcomers. “Glad to see you at school Urameshi.”

 

Yusuke ignored him and walked to his seat in the back of the classroom.

 

Shaking his head at Yusuke, he turned his attention back to Kagome. “New student?” he questioned.

 

Kagome smiled. “Hai.”

 

“Okay then, class, I'd like to introduce to you a new student. Miss Higurashi, would you like to say a few things about yourself?”

 

Walking towards the front of the class she nodded. “Hello, I'm Kagome Higurashi, I like archery and fighting! Hope to have a good year with you!”

 

`Great, I might have another trouble maker in my class…' “You'll sit by Urameshi, whom you've already met I presume?”

 

Nodding, she picked up her stuff and sat by Yusuke, who was already asleep.

 

Just then, the door opened to reveal none other then Inuyasha. Kagome's eye twitched at the sight of him. Miroku used a talisman of some sort to keep his ears hidden. Behind him walked in Kikyo, being her quiet self.

 

She groaned as she heard they just transferred to the school too. She hit her head against the desk when Mr. Tanaka informed them of their seating arrangement. Ironically, they sat by Kagome.

 

She glared at Inuyasha when he sat down. “What are you doing here?” she whispered.

 

“The stupid baby said we should all stick together.”

 

Grinding her teeth, Kagome made a mental note to kill Koenma later. She glanced at Kikyo who was reading a book.

 

Sighing she put her head on her desk. `Today is going to be a loooooong day…'

---

 

Throughout the whole school, rumors started flying about `Urameshi's hot new girlfriend' and how she was familiar with Kurama.

 

Keiko, who was walking towards the bathroom, frowned. `Yusuke has a new girlfriend? *Sigh* Why should I care?' On her way, she ran into Kurama, who was trying to avoid his scary fan club.

 

“Why hello Keiko. How are you doing?”

 

“I'm just fine.” Looking down at her fidgeting fingers she quietly asked, “have you seen Yusuke's new girlfriend?”

 

Kurama smiled knowingly. “Why yes I have, she is a new member of our group.”

 

Her head shot up as she rose an eyebrow. “Really? Is she a youkai of some sort?”

 

He chuckled. “No, she's a miko. Someone with high spirit energy like Yusuke, yet different.”

 

Keiko nodded her head. “Oh…”

 

Hearing rapid footsteps, Kurama suddenly became tense. “Sorry to cut this conversation short, but I fear for my life right now. I'll see you later!” And in a flash of crimson locks, he was gone.

 

A few seconds later, a massive group of high school girls were running down the halls with hearts in their eyes. “Kurama! Kurama where are you?!” they cooed as they chased down their prey.

 

Keiko sighed. She felt sorry for her poor friend. Turning around, she continued walking down the halls towards the bathroom.

 

 

 

 

 

So people tell me, should I make Kikyo evil? Non? Oui? Please R&R
