Chapter # 4
Inu-Niichan?

She sat in her room, thinking about the way she had reacted, maybe he
Was always rude, maybe that was just his nature? She wasn't sure, but
She knew she shouldn't have reacted like that. It was completely
uncalled for and immature. And it was eating at her, making her feel
guilty. She some how felt like she needed to say she was sorry, but
Some part of her kept saying she shouldn't, not after the way he had
Treated her that night.

Maybe she shouldn't go to school today, avoid him if possible. But she
Didn’t think that was very possible, she would have to go to school
Some time, right?

She sighed and pulled herself off her bed and down the stairs, into
The kitchen. Her mother, brother and grandfather were sitting at the
Table, eating their food. And as soon as she walked into the room,
Sota covered his food with his arms. Kagome gave a half-hearted laugh
At that, giving him a fake smile that didn't reach her eyes. He gave her a weird look, obviously catching the fact that she wasn’t very happy.

"Kagome, honey? Are you alright?" Mrs. Higurashi asked as she set a plate of food in front of Kagome.
"Yeah mom, I'm fine," Kagome replied, picking at her food, pushing it around her plate.
"If you’re sure." Mrs. Higurashi said before going back to her cooking.

Could she fake sick today? No, that wasn't an option. She sighed as she stared at her food, obviously not hungry. She pushed her chair back and stood before walking out of the kitchen and leaning against the door frame and staring at the door.
"Kagome, you better get ready for school." Sota said as he rushed past her.
"Yeah, yeah, heading there." Kagome muttered and she smiled. "Hey Sota."
"Yeah, sis?" he asked, turning to look at her.
"Wanna ride to school?"


"Yash. Get up!" someone yelled as they ran into his room. Inuyasha groaned as he felt someone jump and land on his stomached. He pushed the person off and rolled over. "I meant now!" the same person yelled and jumped on him again.
"Get off me Koga." Inuyasha growled. "Just cuz my father lets you stay here don't mean you get to squash me every time you get the chance."
"Yes it dose." Koga said smiling that stupid wolfish smile of his. "Gotta get up, daddy's orders."
"I don’t call him daddy." Inuyasha growled as he reluctantly got out of his over-sized but extremely comfortable bed.
"I couldn't care less if you call him daddy or not, he still said 'Tell Yash to get his lazy ass up'." Koga said before walking out the door and closing it. Inuyasha let out a small sigh. "Oh, and Kagome is gonna be at school, or she should be." Koga said, sticking his head back in the door.
"And I care....why?" Inuyasha asked.
"Dunno, just thought you might want to know, after your little spat with her."
"Get out." Inuyasha growled.
"Opps hit a sore spot!" Koga chuckled until he was hit on the side of the head by a trash can. "Hey!"
"Get out, wolf." Inuyasha growled.
"Alright, alright." Koga muttered, rubbing his sore head.
"Damn I hate that wolf."

"Wow, sis this is fun!" Sota exclaimed as he sat in the back seat of the limo with Kagome. Kagome laughed a little.
"It's almost the same as riding in a car, Sota."
"No it's not! Look at all this room!" Sota yelled, spreading his arms around the limo. "And a flat screen TV!" Kagome laughed again.
"Alright Sota, we're here." she said, pointing out the window,
"Ah..."
"I could pick you up if you want me to." she offered.
"Really? That would be great sis!"
"Alright, I'll be here when school lets out alright?" Kagome said and when he moved to the door. "Oh hold on." she said, grabbing his back pack and passing it to him, and moving in front of him. "I got the door." she opened it, stepped out and was bombarded with screams and cheers. Kagome waved a little and Sota stepped out behind her.
"See you sis." He said, running towards the crowd.
"Oh hold on Sota!" Kagome called,
"What?" he asked and she ran up to him, hugged him and then saw all the flashes.
"I'll pick you up after school ok?"
"Ah...sis! Everyone is watching!" Kagome laughed.
"See you later!" she called before climbing back into the limo and driving off. The crowd surrounded Sota and the first question they all asked was.
"Kagome Higurashi is your sister!?"


"Why do we have to go to this shit hole every damn day?" Inuyasha complained.
"Just be happy you're not in a privet school." Sesshomaru snapped.
"Why would that matter?"
"Because if you were in a privet school-"
"You wouldn't get to go home." Koga finished.
"Man that sucks." Inuyasha said with a shake of his head. He heard little screams coming from the elementary school they were walking past, and people were yelled something that sounded like "Sota".
"Who's Sota?" Koga asked, looking towards the school.
"Sota is Kagome Higurashi's brother! you didn't know that!?" a little kid asked as she stood in front of them.
"No I didn't, thanks kid." Koga said.
"Not a surprise, no one knew she had a brother until she dropped him off at the school this morning, she's supposed to be picking him up later." the kid said before running off.
"Well, that's interesting." Miroku said.
"What ever, brothers aren't that great anyway." Inuyasha said,
"I have to agree." Sesshomaru said a some what bored voice. Miroku laughed.
"I guess we better get going." Koga said, before walking past them and ahead.
"Keh."

"Miss Kagome, we are arriving at your school." Charles said through the window that leads to the back of the limo.
"Thank you Charles," Kagome said, smiling a little. She looked out the window and sighed a little. As the limp slowed to a stop she whispered. "And here goes nothing'." Opening the door, she stepped out and into the crowd yet again.

"Ah crap, look whose here." Koga muttered. ''The last person Yash wants to see!"
"I don't care! She can stay here for the rest of her life is she wants to, I don't care." Inuyasha snapped,
"You're just mad that she bit your head off.” Koga replied.
"I am not mad."
"Then you're sorry that you made her mad."
"I ain't sorry!" Inuyasha practically yelled, "I don't get sorry."
"You're bad grammar has me wondering some times." Sango muttered.
"I heard that."
"Of coarse you did." Sango mocked, rolling her eyes.

Ah man, sometimes I hate being famous. Kagome thought as she walked up towards the school doors. Does he ever stand somewhere else? She thought as she saw Inuyasha standing there. She knew that someone in the heavens hated her, absolutely hated her. Why couldn't she just get rid of that sinking guilt in her stomached? Might as well get this over with. With a little sigh, she walked towards the group, and away from the doors.

Why is she coming over here? Inuyasha thought, suddenly finding himself feeling nervous. Why the hell am I nervous? I didn't do anything!
"Hi." she said, smiling a little and cocking her head to the side. Inuyasha kept his mouth shut and glared at her, and she shifted on her feet a little, stared at the ground. "I...ah...thought I should apologize for blowing up in your face last night." she said a little shyly. "It wasn't like me, but you're extremely annoying." she said, glaring at him. Koga laughed.
"I like this girl!" he said. "She knows when she should stay away from someone like Yash! Even if she only talked to him once!" he threw an arm around her shoulders in a half-armed hug. Kagome blinked a few times, completely unsure of what she should do next.
"Koga, get off the poor girl! You're gonna scare her to death!" Ayame said, slapping his arm a little.
"Ayame, that hurt." he whined, pulling is arm off Kagome.
"You can't honestly say that hurt." Ayame muttered, rolling her eyes a little.
"Yes I can!"
"I swear you're slightly insane, Koga." Sesshomaru muttered.
"Hey!" Koga yelled.
"Fluffy's got a point." Inuyasha said.
"Don't call me fluffy."
"I can and I will when I want to."
"I don't think so."
"Oh really?" Inuyasha mocked. "Whatcha' gonna do fluffy?"
"Shut up."
"Make me." next thing they knew was Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were having a half-hearted fight.
"Sorry about them, some serious sibling problems between those two." Sango said, walking up beside Kagome and slinging an arm over her shoulder.
"I can see that." Kagome replied dryly. Sango chuckled.
"You know, I like you." she said. "And that ain't easy to get me to say when I barley know you."
"I'm assuming that's a good thing?"
"Absolutely."
"Uh-ha."
"Why don't hang out with us at lunch? Could be fun. And it never gets boring when you got Sess and Yash hanging' around."
"Well...." Kagome whispered.
"Oh come on. It would be fun!" Ayame said, coming on the other side of Kagome.
"I guess I could."
"Alright!" Sango cheered. "Besides, I get tired of those four, and when it's only three girls to four boys, you tend to get out voted." Kagome laughed.
"I know what you mean." she said before walking with Sango, Ayame and Rin into the school and into their class room. The boys following shortly after them.

Three days later:

“Inuyasha Nagasaki,” Mrs.Arasua said.
“Now what?” Inuyasha snapped.
“Seeing as you seem to know all of this already, why don’t you answer this question for me.” she said, pointing to the bored and what looked like a extremely hard math problem, at least…to the rest of the class.
“16.” he said, about 3 seconds later and dropped his head back down on his desk.
“I don’t think that’s-” she stopped picked up the calculator on her desk, punched the numbers in and gasped. “That’s right.”
“And you thought it wasn’t.” Inuyasha snapped, lifting his head up just enough so his eyes were looking over the top of his arm.
“Well….I…uh…”
“Thought I was as stupid as I look.” Inuyasha said, lifting his head all the way up.
“I never said that.”
“What ever. I know you were thinking it.” he said, rolling his eyes, and yet again dropping his head.

When Inuyasha picked his head up again, the whole damn class was staring at him. Well, all but one. Kagome seemed to be more interested in falling asleep, instead of looking at the bad ass who was a genius. He took a glance at the sheet in front of her, and noticed that every last one of the questions were finished. And they hadn’t been given out more then 2 minutes before. Hmm…Maybe I’m not the only smart on in this class. He thought as he snarled at everyone.

Five extremely boring and extremely long classes later had everyone sitting up on the edge of their seats, waiting for the final bell of the day to ring. And the clock just seemed to be going extra slowly. Just to tick them off. The only one who didn’t want to leave, was Inuyasha. Surprisingly. He didn’t want the day to end, or the night to come. He hated these night, absolutely hated them. For one, he was vulnerable, two, he had to go with the guys to see Kagome sing, three, he just plain hated them.
Inuyasha sighed as the bell ring, and reluctantly got up, and headed out the door.
“Hey.” Miroku said as he walked out.
“Hey.” Inuyasha snapped back.
“Oh, testy.” Miroku laughed.
“Shut up.”
“You gonna go with us to see Kagome sing? Of coarse you are, because Sango would kill me if you didn’t show up. Human or not.”
“Would you keep it down!” Inuyasha said in a harsh whisper. He looked around and was slightly surprised to see no one around.
“Relax. When we see Kagome you’re someone else. Are you any good at singing?”
“What’s that got to do with anything?”
“Just wondering, cuz well, Sango told Kagome that she had this friend from across town showing up, and he really wanted to sing with her.”
“Let me guess, Sango meant me.”
“I couldn’t stop her! I swear I tried! But she wouldn’t listen!” Miroku said, putting his hands up in the air.
“Well I can’t sing!” Inuyasha complained.
“Okay, I’ve heard you sing.” Miroku muttered. “What?”
“You sing in the shower, you know that?”
“I…uh…what? What do you do!? Stand at the door with your ear pressed to it? You perv!” Inuyasha yelled, pointing a finger at him, and his face slightly red.
“I do not, and the whole bloody house could hear you, That’s probably why Sango said you were good at singing.”
“Damn it.” Inuyasha muttered.
“So. Ready for tonight?” Miroku asked happily.
“Remind me why I don’t kill you now?”
“Because I’m your best friend!”
“You know, If you really are my best friend, then that’s sad, really, really sad.” Inuyasha muttered, walking out the front doors with Miroku.
“I know, but you’ll get over it.”

“So Sango, whose this friend of yours?” Kagome asked, throwing clothes out of her closet. “And how good can she sing?”
“He can sing really good.” Sango replied.
“He?” Kagome asked, pulling herself out of her closet to stare at her.
“Yup. He’s a really good singer though.”
“He?”
“Yes.”
“He?& #8221;
“Yes Kagome! He’s a guy!” Sango said, and Sota gave them a weird look as he passed the open door.
“Never mind her Sota. Just…go away!” Kagome said closing the door. “He?”
“Kagome!”
“I’m only joking around. I just never thought a guy would want to sing with me.”
“Well, he dose.” Sango said. “Wither he likes it or not.” she muttered.
“What was that?” Kagome asked.
“Oh nothing.” Sango said waving a hand at her.
“Alright then.” and Kagome went back to shuffling through her clothes.

“Hey Sango.” Inuyasha said from the table.
“Yes Inuyasha.”
“I hate you.” he said, narrowing his eyes. Sango laughed.
“I love you too.” she said happily.

Inuyasha darted his eyes this way and that. He really hated these nights, and being in a large room with countless amounts of people made him nervous.

And he had yet to see Kagome. Where the hell was she anyways? And why did he suddenly care? It’s not like he was looking forward to singing with her. Seeing as he didn’t really want people to know he could sing. Then again, no one recognized him in the first place.
“Well everyone, we have a special treat for you tonight. Here is Kagome Higurashi!” someone said from the stage. Kagome walked out, wearing a knee length black dress. It split up to her upper thigh, just daring someone to find out what else was up there. Her hair was let lose, and hanging over her shoulders as she took the mic.
“Thank you. Well, tonight I am going to be singing with a special guest. Sango, why don’t you bring him up here?” Kagome said, smiling to her. Sango nodded, grabbed Inuyasha’s hand and dragged him to the stage.
“Sango, I can’t do this.” Inuyasha muttered. “You do realize who I am right!”
“It doesn’t matter who you usually are, because tonight, you’re a completely different person. So, act different. And be nice.” She said, shoving him towards the stage.
“But I don’t know it.”
“Sure you do. You were reading it over and over again. Remember.”
“Right.” Inuyasha muttered, walking up the stairs of the stage.
“This should be fun.” Sango said as she walked back over to the group.

“You do know this song right?” Kagome asked him as he walked up to her. “Sango gave it to you?” “Yeah. Sango did.” he said, realized that she didn’t recognize him.
“Alright, Then lets get started.” and the music started.
By now they were standing toe to toe, staring at each other and he couldn’t see how she could get anymore beautiful.
“You’ve got a really good voice.” Kagome said. “What’s you name again?” she asked as they walked off the stage.
“Thanks. And it’s-”
“Inu-Niichan!” Rin yelled, running up to him and hugging him. “You were great.”
“Thanks Rin.”
“Hey Rin. You know him?”
“I’ve seen him a couple of times, When he’s been in town.” Rin replied. Knowing very well to keep his secret, a secret.
“Well that’s cool.” Kagome said. Smiling. “And sorry, but your name was…”
“Inu-Niichan.” Rin said. “I know it sounds weird, but so does Inuyasha.” Rin said.
“That’s a good point. But I like his name.” Kagome said, walking with them to the group.
“Really now?” Inu-Niichan asked,
“Hmm…it’s not one you hear all the time.” Kagome replied. “It’s unique. I like it.”
“Yours is unique too. And I like it.” he said, sitting down next to Sango.
“What’s unique? And what do you like?” Sango asked.
“Inu-Niichan was just telling Kagome that he liked her name.” Rin informed Sango, emphasizing ‘Niichan’.
“Was he now?” Sango asked, giving both Inuyasha and Rin a studying look.
“Yeah I was.” Inu-Niichan said. “And I’m pretty sure I’ll be saying it again.”

He should have seen the reporters in the club last night, he should have. But he didn’t. And now he was sitting in his living room, staring at the TV as his and Kagome’s performance was broadcasted.
“And that, fellow viewers was Kagome Higurashi singing with someone who sources say was named Inu-Niichan.” on of the reported said into the camera.
“Inu-Niichan. Well isn’t that a unique name.” the women reported replied.
“Why yes Jas, It is. And maybe this ‘Inu-Niichan’ is that special someone that sources say Kagome Higurashi was looking for.”
“I don’t think so Jake. How could she find someone that fast?” Jas snapped.
“Now Jas. Haven’t you ever heard of love at first site? And in the life of pop stars, fantasies like that aren’t hard to find.”
“Oh please, Higurashi A.K.A miss perfect just has to find that doesn’t she?”
“Ohhhh….someone’s got Kagome issues!” Jake taunted.
“Shut up.”
“Well Yash. You’re famous.” Miroku laughed as he clicked the TV off.
“No I’m not. Inu-Niichan is.” Inuyasha snapped, sending a glare to Rin. “Inu-Niichan?”
“Sorry. It was the only thing I could think of.” Rin said half sad and half amused.
“It’s hilarious Rin. Laugh it up.” Inuyasha muttered and Rin burst out laughing. He glared at her again and she immediately stopped.
“Sorry.”
“Here.” Sango said, as she entered the room. Handing Inuyasha a small necklace.
“What’s this for?” Taking the necklace in his hands he examined it.
“Put it on.” Sango ordered. Obeying the order with slight caution Inuyasha slipped the necklace over his head and felt a small pull in his stomach. He gasped a little and so did everyone else.
“What?” he asked, giving them all quizzing looks. Sango held up a mirror and he gasped louder this time. He saw himself in the mirror, but he wasn’t him self. His hair wasn’t its normal silver. It was a dark midnight black. Like normal human hair. The ears that were usually hidden by his bandana or his hat weren’t there anymore. Instead they had moved down his head and were not sitting on the side of his head, as normal human ears. His eyes weren’t their normal bright amber either. No, they were darker, a deep violet. Like normal human eyes. He wasn’t what he used to be anymore, he was a normal. He was…human.”
“WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!?” he screamed jumping up and knocking the mirror out of her hands.
“Relax. You can change back, just take it off. And your back to your old self. Just wear it when ever Kagome asks one of us to get you. You know. Inu-Niichan.” Sango replied, all too calmly.
“So…I’m…human…but…I’m not?”
“Please, don’t make it so confusing. You’ll hurt yourself.” Sesshomaru said from the doorway. “It’s just a way for you to hid your demonic self.”
“Awesome!” Inuyasha yelled, jumping up and realizing that he couldn’t jump as high anymore. “So…I’m completely human at the moment.”
“When ever you wear it, you’re are, yes, completely human. Your demonic senses, ablilitys and blood are gone temporarily.”
“That’s…awesome!” Inuyasha yelled again.
“Indeed.” Sesshomaru said, and he turned, started to head out but he stopped. “And Kagome wanted to see Inu-Niichan. She called this morning, when you were asleep. You’re to meet her here.” he shot over his shoulder
“Crap!” Inuyasha muttered. “Now just remember Inuyasha. Be nice. Inu-Niichan was nice last night. If you start acting all mean she might think something is up.” Sango said before leaving.
“Right. Seeing as I’m human, and I’m only ever nice on my human nights, it should be easy. Just be…nice.” Inuyasha muttered to himself. “You know Yash. You talk to much.” Miroku muttered. Inuyasha didn’t hear him though, he was too busy telling himself to be nice. And to not snap at her. After all, He was Inu-Niichan at the moment. Not the bad ass Inuyasha.
