InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ No more lil school girl ❯ The shrine ( Chapter 10 )

DISCLAIMER: god not this again… if you really haven't figured it out yet… you're absolutely stupid *gets bombarded with apples*

Tonight I am having my concert (12/16) and I can't wait!! I am in a clarinet quartet that only the select few people got to be in. We played at commerce bank (that was a blast) and we will be playing again in the lobby and on stage between the orchestra and band and chorus switches. The flutes also has a quartet (more like a … what's it for 8?) octet? lo, well anyways they are really bad (sorry all u flutes players!!) but they haven't gotten as much practice as us and don't have many skilled people in that section (even thought they DO have the largest amount of people in the whole band…) and they are playing 'Toyland' and if I may say so myself, it looks very difficult, so I hope that we don't have to go before them because I don't want them to be put down by people at our school who are obnoxious and rude to others when they don't do as good as the people before. Long story, yeah I know, but I'll tell you all about it whenever it's over!!

Title: No more lil school girl

Chapter 10: The shrine

The car skidded to a stop in front of a large building that had a large sign out in the font yard that read 'Higurashi shrine'. Inuyasha thought that it was oddly strange that the name of the shrine was Kagome's last name, but he just shrugged it off and recognized it as a coincidence. Kagome too found it an uncommon similarity also, but just as Inuyasha, thought it was a freak coincidence.

Kagome hopped out of the car just as the large charter bus pulled up right along her car with the others. "Inuyasha!" she screamed into the car. "Wake up! We're here!" Inuyasha was forced from his peaceful slumber and jumped up hitting his head on the roof of the car.

"Damnit, Kagome. Can't you just wake people up the traditional way?!" Inuyasha yelled rubbing his head where he had hit it.

Kagome stiffened and turned around. "You mean like pouring cold water on their heads, or putting a blow horn to their ears? Because I mean, if you wanted me to do that you could have just asked me and I-"

Inuyasha cut her off. "Never mind…" he said walking away, mumbling.

"Wonder what's wrong with him?" Sango said popping a few chips into her mouth. She chewed with her mouth open, which was pretty gross from Kagome's point of view. Kagome tried not to focus her eyes on Sango's mouth, and just instead sat on the hood of the car.

Mr. Shiminawa exited to charter bus last and whipped out his trusty clipboard with a list of names and partners. "Alright everyone" he spoke up, waving his arms for all of the students to gather round. After everyone was present and paying what little attention they had, he continued.

"Now, if you would all follow me, I will take you to the shrine. Come along" he started walking off in the opposite direction and the rest of the class followed him like little puppies. Kagome caught up with Inuyasha, and Miroku and Sango had too joined up.

After about 5 minutes of walking, the shrine came into view. It looked like a large brown temple and was in good condition. Kagome's eyes lit up with excitement.

"It looks so traditional" she said in awe. Sango nodded her head in agreement with her. Miroku and Inuyasha ignored them both, like usual, and continued walking carelessly.

Mr. Shiminawa stopped the class in front of the shrine and told everyone to not touch anything and be very careful, before he led them all inside. It was very dimly lit and looked spic and span. In the center was a well that seemed to be in just as good condition as the actual shrine.

"Now this, students, is the actual well that the young 15 year old girl fell through long ago, which transported her to feudal Japan." Mr. Shiminawa explained, urging the students to go take a closer look.

Kagome approached the shrine slowly with Inuyasha by her side. She sat on the edge and looked down, holding onto the edge so she wouldn't fall. On the inside, something caught her eye. The sides of the well were covered with pictures and drawings of several things. Along the side were drawings of bear Youkai and demon exterminators. The demon exterminators were slaying the bear youkai one by one. On the other side of the well were pictures of dog youkai. One looked strangely familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

'Who is that…' she thought. But what she saw next shocked her completely. Next to it was a drawing of the same dog youkai, but he was holding a young black haired miko that looked exactly like her. Kagome gasped and lost her balance…

Inuyasha was watching her intently, trying to figure out why she looked so shocked. He all of a sudden saw her eyes bulge, and she slipped. Everything was in slow motion. He was scared they he wouldn't be able to stop her, he felt frozen. He put his quick reflexes to the test immediately and threw his arm into the well- catching Kagome's hand.

"Kagome!!" Inuyasha shouted, gripping her wrist tightly. "Someone, help us!" Sango and Miroku heard his distress call and rushed to his side. Sango hit the ground running in response and tried to reach her other wrist. After a few unsuccessful tries, Miroku held onto her legs and lowered her down little by little until Sango was able to grab hold of Kagomes other hand. Sango grabbed hold and Miroku reeled her back up, bringing Kagome along with her. Inuyasha lifted Kagome into his arms and sat down on the ground- just as the teacher came sprinting to their side. Sango slapped Miroku for working his hands while lowering her into the well, and resumed her worries for her best friend.

"What? I couldn't help myself" Miroku answered to the slap, explaining himself with pure honesty.

Mr. Shiminawa looked terrified. "What happened to her?!" he said checking her pulse. "She's in a coma" he explained dropping Kagome's hand back to her side. All the classmates crowded around the scene, looking on scared.

"We should get her to a hospital" Miroku suggested, helping Inuyasha lift her up.

"No, there isn't one for some distance, but I am sure that the owner of this shrine is very good with medicines." Mr. Shiminawa stated, ushering the 2 teenage boys to take her to the house.

They slowly lugged Kagome's still body to the house and knocked on the front door. An old lady that seemed to be in her late 60's or 70's answered. Her mouth dropped and quickly opened the door. Inuyasha and Miroku laid her down on a bed in one of the room upstairs, and the old woman followed them into the room with her arms full of herbs and remedies.

"Out, out" she said shooing them into the hall. They obeyed and sat against the wall awaiting her return.

2 hours later

The old woman emerged from the room, closing her door behind her. Inuyasha shot up from where he was sitting and started questioning her condition.

"She will be just fine, she somehow was knocked unconscious and into a coma, but I was able to bring her out of the coma. All we can do now is wait for her to wake up. You may visit her later, let her rest" she explained turning to leave. Inuyasha reached his arm out and stopped her. She turned around with a 'what do you want?' expression.

"Thanks" Inuyasha said, and too turned and left.

---------------------------

Outside

Inuyasha stepped outside into the fresh air and sat down on the porch, inhaling it deeply. He could feel the air surge through his body, making him feel cool and relaxed. The sun was high in the sky, but the warmth felt so far away. A cold winter gust blew past him sending shivers up his spine, causing him to wrap his arms around himself.

'I wish Kagome were here. We could keep each other warm…'

Inuyasha felt a hot liquid run down his right cheek, and then another on his left. He wiped it away with his hand and looked up. Nothing.

'Am I crying?'he thought wiping his eyes. He spotted the large group of classmates appear from down the hill, working their way up from the shrine site. He quickly rubbed his tears away and tried to look calm and cool. Sango- from down the hill- saw Inuyasha sitting on the porch and left the group; running to Inuyasha's side and taking a seat on the porch with him.

"So how does it go?" she asked nervously, patiently awaiting his answer.

"The old lady says that she was able to bring her out of her coma, but she still hasn't wakened up yet." Inuyasha explained, feeling another blast of cold air rush by. Sango looked at him intently. She could see the concern in his eyes clearly.

"Kagome is strong, she will wake up. Don't worry about it" Sango assured, rubbing Inuyasha on the back. She then stood up and re-joined the class so she wouldn't get in trouble for leaving without permission. Inuyasha stayed there and thought about Kagome. Only Kagome.

'She means so much to me; I don't know what I would do without her…'

--------------------------

A few hours later

Kagome rolled in her sleep and put her left hand on her left temple. Her head throbbed heavily and she could barely open her eyes. She groaned and rolled back over. 'Why does my head hurt so much?' She asked herself, putting both her hands this time on her temples, massaging them. Seconds later, she attempted opening her eyes. Her eyelids were heavy with sleepiness and didn't want to budge. She tried again and finally got her eyes to open. She was lying on a bed in an old style room. Kagome was absolutely oblivious to where she was. She looked behind her, and the door slowly crept open- in stepped Inuyasha, with a look of happiness and warmth on his face. He looked at her happily and ran to the bed and held her hand tight.

"I am so glad you are finally awake! I was afraid you never would" Inuyasha confessed, massaging her hand just as Kagome had done to her temples. A blush spread over Kagome's face and she fell backwards onto her pillow, yanking her hand back. She looked at him like he was a madman of some sort.

"Who are you?!" Kagome screamed, moving more toward the wall that the bed was against.

Inuyasha looked hurt. "What are you talking about Kagome? It's me, Inuyasha"

Kagome hesitated a minute and then spoke up. "Who's Inuyasha?"

Holla!! Sorry about the short chapter this time!! I just wanted to get this thing updated and over with, I just have so many ideas running through my head, and if I don't get them all down them I'll lose them!! ((Which strangely happens a lot…)) and well anyways, I am trying to write these chapters and make them as long as I can… well anyways, my band concert was great: Everyone in my band, you all did great, I love you guys, excellent job!!! *gives standing ovation* onwards…

Chapter 11: Amnesia!?!

"It seems that Kagome has caught Amnesia. Maybe it was from her bumping her head, I don't know. But she's got it." The old lady said. She looked at Kagome, and sighed.

"But she didn't hit her head! I was there when it happened, she just fainted!" Inuyasha yelled, demanding an explanation.

"I see… well, I don't know if you will believe it, but do you realize that this young lady is a miko?"

Inuyasha was taken aback. "What? A miko?"

"Yes," the old woman continued. "I can feel her aura, it's very strong. It seems that she has had some previous training sometime when she was young, perhaps when she was very young."

Inuyasha was getting annoyed. "That still doesn't explain why she fainted!"

"I am not sure why she fainted, but I have heard of a legend: that the reincarnation of the strong miko that protected the legendary Shikon no Tama, was destined to come back and fall down that well."

Alright, I have SOO much more, but I don't want to spoil it THAT much… tehe, well anyways I can't wait to write the next chapter…
