ÑChapter Six: The New Student, And the Confrontation With SesshomaruÐ
After the run to Kagome’s school, InuYasha went back to the village. No sooner had he emerged from the well, was he bomb-barded with questions.
“InuYasha! Where have you been?” The young fox questioned. “where’s Kagome? Did you apologize for your fight earlier? Oh InuYasha you can be suck a jerk.”
And with that last statement InuYasha hit the poor little kid atop his head so hard that it knocked him out.
“Stupid, nosy kid.” InuYasha mumbled as he proceeded toward the hut. He was sore all over from all of those sits and needed to rest. The thoughts of being able to rest in quiet, no sits, no annoying little kits or monks or old hags bothering him was his idea of rest. Though no such luck, upon entering the small hut he was yet again met with a wall of questions blocking him from his sleep.
“InuYasha where were ye?” The old voice of Kaede said as she looked up from her tea to the young hanyou who had just entered.
“Yes, InuYasha, do tell, where were you last night?” Miroku questioned as he looked slyly at InuYasha. “Did you go to see lady Kagome?”
“Yes Monk, I went to see Kagome, and what do I get? Sat right through her stupid floor.” InuYasha barked. “Now any other questions?” InuYasha glared around the room and then receded into a dark corner and made himself comfortable.
“I have just one question InuYasha.” Sango said, looking coolly at the half demon, she had become somewhat tolerant of his behavior but she didn’t think she would ever be as tolerant as Kagome. “On your way here you didn’t happen to pick up a strange scent did you?”
InuYasha looked at her confused, “ No, why?”
“Last night, a strange female demon approached the village and when Sango and I perused it, it disappeared.” Miroku started to explain but was interrupted.
“So you’re worried about a little demon who sneaking around here? Did it do any damage? Kill anyone maybe?” InuYasha said.
“Well no but….” Miroku said.
“Then shut up and let me sleep.” InuYasha said, “You probably just scared it off or something.”
“InuYasha you don’t understand.” Sango said, her voice taking on a serious tone. “It didn’t just disappear, we wouldn’t be worried about that it’s the matter of where it disappeared.”
“I’m not following you.” InuYasha said sleepily.
“InuYasha, that demon escaped us by going through the well.” Miroku was finally able to say.
With that statement, InuYasha was fully awake and concern took over his mind. “If that demon disappeared into the well, then, it’s in Kagome’s time. She could be in danger.”
Without a word, InuYasha bolted out of the hut and to the well jumping into it.
“Well at least he can do something about it there.” Miroku said as he took the cup of tea Kaede handed him and sipped it.
Not two moments later Shippo entered the hut with a large lump on top of his head.
“Where’s InuYasha go now?” Shippo said.
“He went back to Kagome’s time.” Responded Sango.
“Coward.” Shippo retorted.

Kago me made it through almost the whole day, yet when 7th period rolled around she was horrified.
“Oh no, I forgot my text book.” Kagome sighed as she rummaged through her bag. She wished that Sota had her back like last time and had brought her books to school for her but no such luck.
“You can look on with me if you like.” Said the new student. She gazed over at the distressed young teen and decided to help. It would defiantly help in winning an alliance with this young girl.
“Okay, thank you so much. I can be so forgetful.” Kagome said with a small laugh.
“No problem, I have those days too.” She said joining Kagome’s laughter.
“ Oh by the way, what was your name?” Kagome questioned.
“Oh my name is Diana.” She responded, settling down from their laughing fit.
“Okay class, open your text books to page 381 and do the section review on solving for Y and then graph your answers. Remember that your answers should form a line once you’re done.” the teacher said as he then slid his chair back, sat down and began to grade the tests from the day before.
“Oh boy, I don’t get any of this.” Kagome sighed as she looked down at the page like it was some disease and she didn’t want to catch it.
“What don’t you get.” The girl whispered as she looked over her answers, she had finished almost ½ of the page.
“I don’t get how to do any of this.” Kagome whispered back.
“Well look at the first one.” She whispered, pointing to the first problem.
“Okay look here this is what you need to do.” Diana said as she looked back down at her paper. “You just have to substitute numbers for x and work it out from there, I usually use -1, 0, and 1 because that’s easiest. Now look.”
“Now all you have to do is graph those and you’ve answered the problem.” Diana said in a know-all tone.
“Thanks a lot I would never have done that on my own.” Kagome said thankful that some one knew what they were doing. Though this new girl was smart, she was a big help.
With the help from Diana, Kagome was able to get all of the class work done, surprisingly with little frustration. Then just as Kagome was finishing up her last problem, the bell sounded the end of the day and everyone made their way toward the door. As Kagome was about to get up she noticed Diana and went toward her.
“Hey, Diana!” Kagome called, “I’m going to go to the library and do some studying for that test, can you come and help me?”
“Sure.” Diana replied. “By the way, I don’t think I caught your name.”
“Oh sorry.” Kagome said totally embarrassed, where had her manors gone, “ My name’s Higurashi Kagome.”
And with that the two new, or so Kagome thought, found friends made their way toward the library.
----------------------------------------------------
InuYa sha emerged from the well and made his way to the house that resided a few feet away from the well. Upon entering the house he was greeted by Kagome’s kid brother Sota whom held a rather large box in front of him, jumping about, acting crazy.
“May be I should have tried to bring Miroku with me, this kid’s possessed.” InuYasha thought as he stared horrified at the young child before him. “What’s up with you?” He asked in his normal, cocky tone.
“Oh hey InuYasha!” Sota said running up to his “hero”. “ I got a two new games do you want to play one?”
“Not right now kid, is Kagome home?” InuYasha asked.
“She’s not home yet dear.” Kagome’s mom said from the kitchen, “She probably stayed after to get some studying done.”
“Okay, well I have some things to check on so I’ll just go get her when I’m done.” InuYasha said as he tried to make a run for the door, yet the world, hell, both worlds seemed to be against him today.
“InuYasha, you know very well you can’t go out like that.” Called Kagome’s mom. “There are a set of spare clothes in Kagome’s closet in a brown bag, go get those and change into them, then you can go.” Then she continued to work on the evening meal.
“Damn woman, thought I could get away with it too.” InuYasha muttered as he made his way toward Kagome’s room.
“Oh InuYasha dear.” She called from the stairs.
“Yeah.” He responded.
“Grandpa is up there working on the floor. If you want me to send Sota up to get them I can.” She offered.
“No, I handle demons every day. I think I can handle an old man’s arguments.” And with that he made the all too familiar trek to Kagome’s room and opened the door. Then he noticed that the old man wasn’t there. A few sniffs of the air and a recognition of a very unpleasant smell and he came to the conclusion that the old man was doing business in the other room. He quickly ran in and opened the closet door and saw the brown bag Kagome’s mom had spoke of. Then hearing the flush from the other room he bolted out of the room and the old man never knew the difference.
Making his way back down the stairs he called, “Hey, Ms. Higurashi, where can I change?”
“Oh well there’s a small room we use for quests if you want to change in there.” She called, drying her hands on a towel that sat by the stove.
“That will be fine.” He said and went toward the room.
“Hey InuYasha, I can help ya put those on if you need me.” Sota called from in front of the t.v where he currently played his newest game.
“No kid, I think I can handle it.” He retorted, opening the door and going inside. He pulled out the clothes to reveal a pair of black jeans, a white T-shirt with a red long sleeve shirt to go over it (A/N sorry… couldn’t help it…’’) He quickly put those on, noticing how comfortable they fit. The last clothes he had to wear were too tight and he nearly died the last time he was there. Then he pulled on the tennis shoes from the bottom of the bag and tied them. Last and defiantly least was that infamous black baseball cap. Putting that on top of his head, he left his clothes on the floor and exited the room heading for the door.
“Do those clothes fit you InuYasha?” Ms. Higurashi asked as he went for the door.
“Yes, much better than last time.” He responded.
“I’m glad, okay I won’t hold you up any longer. Be back before dark though.” With Ms. Higurashi’s last statement, he was out the door and headed for the street. He needed to go and see an old family member and confront him about Kagome’s story, if indeed she was telling the truth.
“She said it was a few blocks from the school.” InuYasha thought as he walked toward the school. He knew the way from he many trips there and decided to walk to it instead of taking the easy way, remembering what happened last time. Winding up on the evening news was not something he wanted to do any time soon.
Making his way to the school, he noticed Kagome was no where in sight. Guessing she was inside he continued on. He went a few streets down and came to a large building. Outside of the doors a large plaque read, in elegant script: Sesshomaru Kamori & Isha Yoake, Law Firm
“This world just keeps getting stranger and stranger.” InuYasha thought as he made his way threw the automatic doors. Kagome had shown them to him before so he wasn’t too surprised when they opened by themselves but jumped a little, luckily this went unnoticed.
He looked around the large lobby and went to the front desk. A young woman sat there reading some kind of magazine and chewing gum. Upon noticing InuYasha looking around she called to him. “Can I help you sir?”
“I’m looking for Sesshomaru.” InuYasha said.
“Go up the elevator to the 7th floor and he’s the 3rd office to the right.” She responded.
“Okay.” InuYasha said as he made his way to the elevator. He had no clue what the hell an elevator was, and boy was he in for it. Another man got in with InuYasha and seemed to be talking to himself, then InuYasha noticed the contraption in his ear. He wasn’t paying attention to the strange man until he pushed the number seven button and began his conversation again.
“Yes Mr. Kamori.” The man said. “I’m sorry Sesshomaru, I’m just not one to not be so formal.”
With that name InuYasha became interested and continued to listen to the conversation.
“Yes I have arranged the meeting again with the miko to deliver the information on the young demon.” The man continued. “Ah, well here I am I’ll be in there in a moment.”
Then he made a little beep noise and pulled the thing out of his ear and place it in his pocket as the doors opened. The man continued toward another desk and passed.
“Good day Shizo.” The man said to the young woman doing paper work at the desk.
“Oh good day Mr. Yoake.” The woman said cheerfully. “You may continue, Mr. Kamori’s waiting for you.”
InuYasha went to follow the man as he disappeared through another door, yet the girl at the desk stopped him.
“ Can I help you?” She asked.
“I need to see Sesshomaru.” He said.
“He’s busy, do you have an appointment?” she questioned.
“No I don’t.” InuYasha said, he was becoming angry fast.
“Well unless you’re family, I can’t let you in.” she said in a tone that with anyone else would have ended the conversation.
“Would it help if I told you I’m his brother.” InuYasha said frustrated.
“Well then why didn’t you say so. Go right ahead.” Shizo said as she continued with her work.
InuYasha had had enough of this, this world was driving him crazy and the sooner the air was cleared the better. He stormed through the door and traveled down a short hall until he came to a door that read : Sesshomaru Kamori. Then he forcefully opened it and was all prepared for the war that was about to start.
“What the hell is going on here Sesshomaru. Going to Kagome, me finding out you lived this long. And what the hell would you need to give Kagome information about?” InuYasha stated, successfully scaring the poor man next to Sesshomaru.
“Isha, would you excuse me for a moment.” Sesshomaru said.
“Certainly.” With that Isha left the room closing the door behind him.
“Now brother, what I tell that miko of yours is her business. As to why I’m here in this world, well, it’s simple. I just survived like all pure dog demons do.” He said coolly.
“Well why now would you go to see Kagome.” InuYasha said.
“Like I said, that is between me and her.” Sesshomaru said.
“Damn, don’t give me that. I have enough to worry about now that a demon has shown the capability to pass through the well. I don’t need to worry about you hurting her too.” InuYasha said, growling slightly.
“The demon you speak of is the last living heir to the Lunar Wolf Tribe. She has the power to control the phases of the moon and take on a human form along as a human like demon appearance. Simple she has three forms, demon Wolf, demon and human.” Sesshomaru said. “Now if that is all you needed I suggest you leave before I use force.”
“Fine, that information will be useful.” InuYasha said as he turned to leave.
“Well, now that you know, I guess you can pass that along to the miko then.” Sesshomaru said as he also went to the door.
“Will do.” With that InuYasha left and headed to Kagome’s school.
----------------------------------------------------
Kagome finished her studying at around five minutes to five. She bid her good-byes to her new ‘friend’ Diana and left the school. However she didn’t get off the grounds before she caught sight of InuYasha, deep in thought, heading toward her home. She walked behind him for a few moments and when she realized he hadn’t noticed her, she ran up right behind him and shoved him. Then as he staggered forward she ran behind a near by tree. She tried to contain her giggles but couldn’t and started to laugh uncontrollably.
InuYasha looked around and heard the laughter coming from the tree. At first he thought that it was a nemenka (that demon tree the peach man had) but on closer inspection, noticing the book-bag and with a quick check of the air, he determined that it was only Kagome. He quietly crept toward the tree and quietly jumped into it. He maneuvered himself so he was right above her and watched her as she peered around the trunk for any sign of him.
“Huh, where’d he go now.” Kagome said as she finally recovered from her laughing fit and went to retrieve her bag when she was suddenly pulled up into the tree by InuYasha.
“You know you shouldn’t do that to a demon.” InuYasha said in a playful, mock anger tone, “ I could have turned and sliced you into bits.” He said that last part as he growled playfully, showing her his fangs.
Kagome quickly and carefully slid out of the tree, grabbed her bag and looked up to the boy in the tree.
“Yeah right, the mighty dog demon InuYasha, turn and rip me to shreds.” Kagome said sarcastically, “You’re a big softy and you know it.” With that last comment she took of at a full run toward her house with InuYasha not too far behind her.
