InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Perfect Day Senior Year ❯ Chapter 5

“Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.


Gomen nasai to everyone who has actually been awaiting an update. I’ve been busy with work.





Just as the doctor stated, Mrs. Higarashi was released the very next day. When they got home, Kagome healed her completely, just as she promised.

“Dear, when are you going back to school?” Mrs. Higarashi asks
“I guess I’ll go back on Monday. I’ll probably get suspended, if not expelled” Kagome replies
“Like I told you yesterday, I’m sure everything will be fine considering the source of your anger” Mrs. Higarashi says
“Yeah, I guess. Mom, I think you should still visit auntie, take Sota and grandpa with you. She will be very pleased to see you” Kagome says
“But what would I tell her ‘Your favorite niece is a demon, she fixed me’, I don’t think so. Besides, I don’t really think I could drive after that” Mrs. Higarashi says uncomfortably.
“Tell Auntie that I’m a very powerful miko, she’ll understand that. We’ll even take you and pick you back up.” Kagome smiles
“I don’t know” Mrs. Higarashi says uneasily
“If you’re nervous about the car, we’ll carry you” Kagome says
“Carry us?” Mrs. Higarashi questions
“Well, how do you think we traveled in the feudal era? A lot of times Inuyasha carried me or we rode on Kirara.” Kagome says
“Who’s Kirara? You never mentioned her before” Mrs. Higarashi asks
“Kirara was Sango’s companion, a nekomata youkai. I wonder what happened to her.” Kagome says absentmindedly
“I think we’ll take a car” Mrs. Higarashi says smiling
“Ok, I’ll go talk to Sesshomaru” Kagome says as she gets up to leave

Kagome went home and called Sesshomaru at his office. He agreed to give Mrs. Higarashi and the others a ride to Kyoto when he arrived home. Right as Kagome hung up the phone, the doorbell rang, Shippo answered.

“Hello, mom’s in the kitchen” Shippo says to the visitors

The visitors, who are Hojo and company, walk to the kitchen to see Kagome, who is preparing an after school snack for her children.

“Hey guys, how are you?” Kagome asks
“We’re fine, how’s your mother” Eri says
“She’s fine, I healed her” Kagome smiles
“That’s good” Eri replies
“Is Mr. Sitgo still freaked out?” Kagome inquires
“Yeah a little, you scared the crap out of him” Yuka laughs
“I kind of lost my temper. I’ve been around Inuyasha way too long” Kagome says embarrassed
“Here’s your backpack and homework” Ayumi says
“I won’t be back till Monday, so would you mind picking up and bring my homework. We can study together and you can turn it in for me. What do you say?” Kagome asks
“That sounds great, right girls?” Hojo says
“Right” the girls say together
“Besides Kagome, you’re a great cook” Eri says
“Thanks, the pups will be home soon, let me feed them and then we’ll do homework.” Kagome says with a smile

Just as Kagome predicted, five minutes later Inuyasha walked in the door with all the children in tow. The children immediately headed for the kitchen for their snacks. After, the pups were separated to do their homework, Kagome and company cleared the table to study and do homework. About half an hour later, Rin came over to start dinner, and Rin got five new helpers. Food prep took about half the normal time and now all that was left was to cook it. Well part of it anyway, it was sushi night. Once everything was ready and the table was set, the pack was called to dinner. Sesshomaru had just gotten back from taking Mrs. Higarashi, Sota and grandpa to Kyoto and walked in the door just as dinner was served.

“Perfect timing as always sister” Sesshomaru says sitting down at the head of the table, opposite Inuyasha.
“What can I say; I have a great sense of smell. One that rivals your own, brother” Kagome smiles
“Once again our presence is graced with your human friends Kagome” Sesshomaru says
“They even helped to prepare dinner” Rin says
“I think they’ve earned a place in our pack, don’t you Kagome?” Inuyasha asks
Yes, they’ve always been there for me. Through thick and thin” Kagome smiles “Guys we would be honored in you would join our family”
“What do we have to do?” Hojo asks
“Nothing, just promise to be there if anyone needs you” Shippo says
“I think, no, I know that we can do that, right guys?” Hojo says
“Right” They say together
“Good that’s settled, let’s eat” Sesshomaru says

After dinner, the pups were sent to take baths and dress for bed, Sesshomaru, Rin, and Mikadzuki went home. Hojo and the girls helped clean up, and then they went home taking Kagome’s homework, and promising to see them tomorrow. About an hour later, everyone in the house was sleeping peacefully, all except Kagome, who was having a nightmare. For some reason, she was forced to relive the days her best friends died. This particular nightmare stopped haunting her about 50 years after Kohaku’s demise. But now it was back. She woke up in a cold sweat, left the bed and went to sit in the living room in the dark, she curled into a ball. About ten years later Inuyasha realized that she wasn’t there and woke up. He followed her scent, when he located her, he couldn’t believe his eyes. Kagome was sobbing, shaking uncontrollably, sweating profusely, curled up, and holding tightly to her knees.
“Did you have a nightmare, love?” Inuyasha asks concerned
“Yeah, I did, one that I haven’t had in over 300 years” Kagome says quietly in between sobs
“Sango and Miroku again?” Inuyasha inquires
“Yeah” Kagome responds
“You’ve been thinking about them a lot. I wonder if it’s a sign” Inuyasha states
“I don’t know. I just can’t watch them die over and over again every night” Kagome says as fresh tears fall
“I know, come to bed. You don’t have to sleep, just let me hold you” Inuyasha says and Kagome agrees

Everyday for the rest of the week after school, Hojo, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi, would come over to do homework, help with dinner, stay, eat, and go home to repeat the next say. And every night, Kagome would try to sleep just to be haunted by her pack mates’ deaths, so she stopped trying. Next thing she knew, it was Monday morning and she hadn’t slept in 6 days. On her was to school after she dropped off Suta, she thought she saw a cat that looked just like Kirara. She just shrugged it off and continued her walk to school. When she got to class, she greeted her classmates and sat down.
“Kagome, you look tired. Haven’t you slept?” Eri asks
“No, not for the last 6 days, nightmares” Kagome says
“Oh, hopefully it will pass soon” Ayumi says trying to sound hopeful
“Yeah” Kagome says

They all sit down as Mr. Sitgo enters the room.

“Miss Higarashi, please go see Mrs. Nasawa, she wants to talk to you” Mr. Sitgo says nervously

Kagome got up, gathered her things and walks to the principles office. When she arrived she was instructed by the secretary to wait inside. When she sat down in front of the desk she thought to try and get some sleep. She must have dosed off for a second because she didn’t even smell the new principal and the one, no two others enter the room with her.

“Miss Higarashi, my name is Mrs. Nasawa. I’m the new principle. How are you today?” Mrs. Nasawa asks
“I’m doing fine, thanks” Kagome says lifting her head to make eye contact
“What’s the matter child you look like you’ve seen a ghost: Mrs. Nasawa asks
“You… you look like someone I knew years ago” Kagome says as tears well up in her eyes
“That’s interesting. In lieu of your mother’s accident I brought in someone to speak to you. This is Sandy, our student counselor and Minori, head of security. Mrs. Nasawa says pointing behind Kagome who turns with widened eyes, standing up.
“Sango, Miroku? Impossible!” Kagome says just as she faints
“Oh dear, this is too much for her” Mrs. Nasawa says
“Here, I’ll put her on the couch, help me my dear” Minori says

A few minutes later, Kagome began to stir.

“Are you alright child?” Mrs. Nasawa asks
“Yes I thought I saw” She cuts off opening her eyes “Kaede is that really you?”
“Aye, child it’s me in the reincarnated flesh and they really are Sango and Miroku, reincarnated of course” Mrs. Nasawa says
“I guess this explains my nightmares, so wait, I really did see Kirara?” Kagome asks
“Yeah, she’s bee following my soul for 5 generations now” Sandy says
“But what nightmares, my lady?” Minori asks
“I’ve been reliving the final hours of your lives” Kagome says starting to cry
“Oh dear, ye have been haunted child?” Mrs. Nasawa asks
“Yes, 6 days, no sleep. Oh I can’t wait to tell Inu about this. I’m so happy to see you again” Kagome says
“You look about as happy as we were when we finally found each other” Sandy says
“See this is the first time we’ve been reborn in the same place, so we knew that this was the right time to try to find you again” Minori says

Flashback

It was the first day of school and Sandy was so nervous. She had just moved to Tokyo and didn’t know anyone. All of the other 9th graders had probably with each other since birth. She was afraid that she wouldn’t fit in. When she walked into her homeroom, she saw a boy in the front row that looked so familiar. She took a deep breath and walked up to him.

“Miroku?” Sandy asks quietly
“My name is Minori” He says lifting his head “Sango?”
“Actually, Sandy this time around” Sandy laughs

Just then Minori jumps up and gives her a bone crushing hug which she happily returned.

“I’ve been looking for you for so long, too long” Sandy sobs
“Shh, don’t cry. I know 400 years is way too long to be apart.” He whispers only for her ears to hear

They were so wrapped up in each other that they didn’t hear the teacher walk in and clear her throat, they didn’t sense her approach them. It wasn’t till she put her hands on their shoulders that they realized anyone else was in the room.

“Old friends I see, please sit” the teacher states
“We’re sorry Miss” Minori looks away from Sandy “Kaede?”
“Actually my name is Katy, Mrs. Nasawa to you. Please sit” Mrs. Nasawa says
“Yes ma’am” they say taking seats next to one another.

As soon as Mrs. Nasawa took roll, she talked to her students about how important high school was. She even pointed out how it is used to reunite old friends, using Sandy and Minori as examples, and then the bell rang.

“Sandy, Minori, May I see you a moment?” Mrs. Nasawa asks
“Sure” Sandy replies

As the class empties out, they made their way to her desk.

“Sango? Miroku? Is it really you, of all the times I’ve been reborn, this is the first time I’ve ever seen either of you.” Mrs. Nasawa says
“Yes, Lady Kaede, it’s us. Have you run into Kagome yet?” Sandy asks
“No, but it must be a good sing that we’re all here together. We’ll find her this time.” Mrs. Nasawa says
“Good we’ll meet you after school” Minori says

End Flashback

“That’s a great story. I’m so glad to see you again. Please come to my house for dinner tonight. Everyone will be so happy to see you. And I can introduce you to my mom Kaede, I mean Mrs. Nasawa” Kagome says
“Its fine child, call me by what you know me when we’re alone” Kaede (Mrs. Nasawa) says
“We would love to come to dinner Kagome” Sango (Sandy) says as everyone agrees
“Great, we’ll do an old fashioned ramen night; Inuyasha will be please it’s still his favorite you know. Kaede may I use your phone please?” Kagome asks
“Certainly” Kaede says

On phone

“Hello?” Rin answers
“Hey, let’s make ramen tonight” Kagome says
“What’s the occasion?” Rin asks
“We’re going to have special company so add three and call mama, I want them there too” Kagome replies
“Who’s the three?” Rin inquires
“It’s a surprise” Kagome laughs
“OK, I’ll head to your house in a few” Rin says
“Thanks bye” Kagome says
“Bye” Rin says as Kagome hung up the phone

“Was that Rin?” Sango asks
“Yeah, wow 16 for dinner” Kagome says excitedly
“”16?” Miroku (Minori) asks
Yeah, you have to meet the pups. Dinner is at 6:00 I live in the big house next to the shrine” Kagome says
“We’ll be there” Sango says
“Oh and Kagome, do apologize to Mr. Sitgo” Kaede commands
“If you wish” Kagome says leaving the office
