Healer of a Broken Heart: A New Friend

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, but I can wish…

A/N: Ok, some of you thought ch.2 was ... interesting...thanx! *feels warm and fuzzy inside* and some of you are wondering where Kagome is: she won't be in here till later chapters, due to the fact that I forgot all about her and somehow I have figured out a way to put her in. it's an interesting way, but I hope you all like it! (FYI: dreams are in color.(they come in next chappie..so just a heads up!))

Inuyasha looked absolutely horrified. Momo sat down next to him, and Sango moved to the other side.

"Oh, she looks so cute!" Sango whispered. She had a low girlish scream. "I wish she was my charge!"

Inuyasha glared at Sango and turned his attention to Momo. "H-hi...um, I-I wasn't expecting this, but..."

Momo smiled at him, her aura seemed calm and happy. But he could tell there was more to it. Miroku was about to make a comment when he heard his name and also received a young charge. He too had a girl. He looked up as if he was expecting someone like Momo;a nice, calm, polite... his thoughts were interrupted.

"Great," she said sarcastically. "I get a stupid, ugly guy..." Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha and even Momo crinkled their noses at the girl. The girl looked over at Momo and Inuyasha.

"What?! Are you crazy?! You're not getting Momo's Inuyasha! YOU HAVE A GUARDIAN!" Momo yelled and lunged at Inuyasha.

Everyone looked at Momo. "What? She wants Momo's guardian! She wants Momo's Inuyasha!" Momo pointed an accusatory finger.

"Oh," the girl said, "so you can read my thoughts can you?" she stared at Momo with interest. She had long black hair, green eyes, and Momo and Inuyasha could tell she was a demon. The pair kept their gaze on her. "I don't need a guardian. Especially if they're a human. *Psh* See ya all later," she hollered as she walked out of the class room. The sensei looked at Miroku, who looked back at the sensei.

"So," she said slowly, "um...can you and Sango work together?" Both Miroku and Sango nodded. "Ok, well your charge is Kohaku. He's 11 and he was adopted when he was born." Sensei smiled. Kohaku walked over to Sango and Miroku. Momo looked up at him and hoped off of Inuyasha.

"Kohaku-chan! Look, Sango-chan looks like you!" Momo and Kohaku stared at one another for a while. Then, Momo dived at Kohaku and gave him a hug. "Momo thinks you'll like Miss Sango!"

Sango looked at Kohaku. He looks like me and father...

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Everyone got their guardians, and some exchanged phone numbers; others exchanged email addresses. School was out, and Inuyasha remembered that he was going to get braces as soon as he got home and his mom came to pick him up. He looked at Momo. There was something going on…but what? Why did Momo say this was a coincidence?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

No one out of the trio had realized the two pairs of eyes watching them.

“So, she read your mind eh? Well…maybe she will come in handy after all…”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Don't be too upset Inuyasha. They can't be that bad, for you anyway..."

Inuyasha glared at Miroku. "Whadda ya mean 'they can't be too bad for you anyway'? Are you sayin' that just 'cuz I'm a hanyou, nothing's as bad for me?" Miroku looked nervous.

"N-No! That's not what he meant! He just meant that you won't take the pain as hard as a normal human would."

"Sango tomorrow is the New Moon. I heard that the second day you have braces, it's the worst. He won't be able to live through the pain tomorrow night." Miroku said. Sango looked angry at herself. How could she forget?! The New Moon was Inuyasha's biggest secret and she promised she wouldn't forget.

"I'm so sorry Inuyasha...I kinda forgot..."

"YOU FORGOT?!" Inuyasha and Miroku asked in unison.

"Yeah..." Sango blushed. "I just keep thinking about next Friday."

"WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU FORGOT ABOUT TOMORROW!?" Inuyasha yelled.

"Well, I have a life of my own too, ya know! Next Friday is the school's first dance of the year. We missed it last year because of the New Moon and I wanna go this year!" Sango loved Inuyasha, he was her first friend, but this selfishness has got to stop! Inuyasha looked at Sango and Miroku. He was a little angry with them, but angrier at himself for not thinking about what they wanted. He didn't want to talk to them. He wanted to go home and write a story, listen to music, fight with Sesshomaru, something! He started to walk away.

"I'm going home," he said.

"I thought your mom was picking you up?"

"No, I'm walking! Geeze! Do you always have to butt-into my life? What do you bakas care anyway?" Sango and Miroku felt like they had been stabbed through the chest, and so did Inuyasha.

"So, I guess we'll see you tomorrow?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha said nothing, but he kept walking. He gave no acknowledgement of his friends being there. The trio felt like they weren't going to talk for a while.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Inuyasha pulled his cell phone out of his backpack and called his mom.

"Hello, this is Izayoi speaking."

"Hey, mom, it's me."

"Inuyasha? Honey where are you? Did something happen?"

"No, mom. I'm walking home. I'm on Sakura lane, about to cross by Wacdonald's."

"Well, ok. Why don't I meet you there and we'll get something to eat and go to your appointment. OK?"

"Alright, but I shouldn't eat," Inuyasha was cut off.

"Why shouldn't you eat?"

"I'm gonna have food and crap stuck in my teeth." Izayoi giggled.

"Inuyasha, I brought your tooth brush." Inuyasha's eyes nearly popped out of his head and his ears perked making him seem like a puppy and he yelled at his mom.

"MOM! You know you're lucky none of my friends know you're carrying that thing around! You're so embarrassing sometimes. I often wonder if you're really my mother..." Inuyasha mumbled something incoherent under his breath.

"Alright, well I'll see you in a few minutes." His mother made a kissing sound and hung up. Inuyasha blushed and looked at his cell phone and turned it off so he would use up all the battery juice.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

As he walked into Wacdonald's, he saw someone he wasn't quite expecting: Momo.

He tried his best to stand in the doorway behind her and made no sound, but either she sensed his presence, or she had a great sense of smell. Before he could leave, she ran out of her seat and opened the door.

"Inuyasha-chan! Oh, hi! I was looking for you after school, but you weren't there. Your friends said you were walking home, but I was told you live the other way."

Inuyasha stared at Momo. Did she just speak proper language? She sounds like an educated 17 year old girl. Before, she sounded like she was six years old...This Momo is weird, even to me... "I do live the other way," Inuyasha said after a minute of silence. Momo looked at him quizzically.

"But, then, why are you walking this way? I'm confused. I tho-" Inuyasha cut her off and walked inside.

"Look, I came this way because I wanted to get away from everyone! I wanted to get away from my friends; away form kids at school; away from the world. I just wanted to be left alone!" Momo looked hurt.

"Am I also...someone, you wanted...to get away from?" The sadness in her eyes made Inuyasha feel horrible.

"I don't know. I just met you." Inuyasha saw Momo's head looking at the ground. The smell of tears came through his sensitive nose and he didn't know what to do. "Momo? I'm sorry, I-" Momo looked at him with a smile. Her cheeks had a shine from the tears. I hope she's ok... I wasn't referring to her really...

"I'm ok. I just thought you were mad at me. Everyone else is always mad at me."

Whoa! It's like she knows what I'm thinking or something. "I can't be mad at you if you haven't done anything to me." Inuyasha said looking confused.

"I haven't done anything to half the kids at school but they beat me up anyway." Inuyasha wanted to change the subject but, he wasn't sure what to talk about.

He looked at his watch. Where's mom? She should have been here a while ago...

“Where are you going? Are you and your mom gonna go shopping or something?" Momo stared at Inuyasha who was completely dumb-founded.

"What did you say? C-Can you read my thoughts?!" Momo looked at him. Neither knew how to respond.

“Um…yes..?” Momo looked Inuyasha straight in the eye. She put on a fake smile and giggled, hoping he wouldn't get mad, “I-I have the power of telepathy. I hope you're not mad at me…”

Inuyasha stared dumbly at Momo. Her tone changed…and so did her grammar…she sounds 6 years old again…Inuyasha continued to stare at Momo. She started to look out the window. Inuyasha wondered what she was looking at, and tried not laugh at the fact that she was hissing and growling like an insecure kitten.

“What's outside that's making you so angry?”

“Koga.” Inuyasha could hear the hate in her voice. “Koga disgusts me…He said he really liked me, when we were in grade school. Then, about a month later, he found out I was a hanyou and he got his `pack' and they beat the crap out of me.” Momo's fist clenched and Inuyasha backed up a step. “No one even helped me…but then I met this man and he helped me…”

Inuyasha was about to reach a hand out to Momo's shoulder when Koga walked into Wacdonald's.

“Well,” he said in a pervy way. “What do we have here?” Koga must have failed his latest eyesight check at school or something, considering the fact that he didn't recognized Momo.

Momo glared at Koga. His arm had somehow managed to get around her shoulder and the anime-like fire grew rapidly around her. Inuyasha backed away slowly, hoping Momo wouldn't butcher him. Apparently, Koga hadn't noticed anything because he was to busy bragging about how he had beaten up a senior, and “totally dumped him off in the garbage.”

Inuyasha leaned over to Koga and whisper in his ear. “I think you ought to ta take yer arm off Momo's shoulder. She gets really mad when people touch her.” Koga stared. “Really, dude. Get your hand off of her!” Momo and Koga looked at Inuyasha. He couldn't take it any more! Although he had no idea why he was so angry, he just seemed to get angry and suddenly he found himself grabbing Koga's arm and flipping him over onto his back.

Koga jumped up to his feet and yelled, “Who are you? Her bother?!” Inuyasha didn't think. He just felt the words fly out of his mouth uncontrollably;

“Yes, stupid! And when I say don't touch her, GET YER FILTHY HANDS OFF!!”

Momo and Koga looked at him bewildered. “Is he really your brother?”

“HAI! YES!” Momo ran over to Inuyasha and grabbed him into a bear hug. “Momo loves her big brother!”

A/N: Ok, another odd chappie…but that's who I am…All of this will make sense later on. As I said Kagome may or may not be in this. If she is, she has a really weird entering…Anywho, I hope you all like!! Please Read n' review!!!
