InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Promises ❯ A few surprises ( Chapter 3 )

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters. Also, I spelled the author wrong a few chapters ago. It's supposed to be Rumiko Takahashi.

I'm gonna try to make these chapters longer, but it's gonna be hard. I hope you like it.

Chapter Three:

"Sesshoumaru…."

The expressionless face gazed at his twin brother.

"Hello Inuyasha, I have not seen you in a long time."

Inuyasha quickly shook off his shock and curtly replied, "Feh, like I would want to see you again anyway."

Sesshoumaru sighed and said, "Inuyasha, you haven't changed a bit. You're still as stubborn as usual."

Inuyasha glared at his brother. How dare him!

"What would you know about me?! You and father left me when I was only five, and so were you!"

Sesshoumaru looked at Inuyasha with now sorrow-filled eyes.

"Inuyasha, then, by your reply, I guess you don't know about father's death."

A silence followed the surprising information.

"Father…..died?"

"Yeah, mother never told you? He was murdered by that half-demon, Naraku."

Inuyasha could feel his blood boiling at the thought of his father being murdered by that scum.

"And you didn't stop him?"

"I tried, Inuyasha, I really did. But somehow, he's just too powerful. And he has an army of demons at his command. Besides, I'm only 17. I still go to school too, you know."

Inuyasha turned around and left the car on the side of the street, with Sesshoumaru staring at him.

"Inuyasha, if you ever want to contact me, I go to Sengoku High."

He paused, but left after one word.

"Feh…"

Kagome left home, still dreaming about the day's events. She opened the metal gates to the orphanage and took the key from under the mat. After she opened the door, she slipped the key back and entered the kitchen. She put her books and backpack in her box and walked into the living room where Kaede was mixing herbs.

"Hey, Kaede, where is everyone?"

She looked up and said, "Why aren't ye with y friends?"

"I dunno, Kaede. I guess I just don't feel like it right now."

"Kagome!"

She caught the orange ball of fuzz that had called her name just in time, like always.

"Hey Shippo, how're you doing?"

"Kagome, everyone picks on me!" wailed Shippo.

"Aww, Shippo, who did?"

Shippo's parents were suspiciously murdered, but no one knew who, or why. Shippo was sent to the orphanage, where he probably would have had a terrible time, if not for Kagome. She treated him like a son, which was the reason he called her Okaa-san, or mother, sometimes. Kagome understood what it was like to lose someone, and she was glad to fill in some of the emptiness in his life.

Shippo stayed with her practically the whole time she was in the orphanage, but hardly ever wandered outside. Kagome would always comfort him and make him feel better, but he never fully recovered from the tragedy. Just like Kagome.

They spent the rest of the day joking and doing homework, but in the end, Shippo had to go to sleep, and Kagome was free to call Sango.

"Moshi moshi." Sango said cheerfully into the receiver.

"Hey, Sango."

"Oh, hey Kagome!"

"Sango, did today seem a little strange to you?

"Uuuummmm…not really. I mean, the first day of school is always weird."

"No not like that. I suddenly felt this change in forces."

"…."

"Sango? Hello?"

"Kagome, you know, you just sounded like a miko or something."

"No way. I mean, how could I be a miko? I just felt something weird was going on. Especially that Inuyasha guy."

"You mean the new guy? Well, of course he's weird; after all, he does look pretty weird. Of course a lot of the demons at our school look weird too. Anyways, maybe you had a past life with him or something."

"Actually Sango, I don't feel like talking about it. I've thought about it too much today already. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Oh. Okay. Sayonara."

And the line went dead.

The next morning was uneventful. Kagome woke up earlier and could enjoy her bathroom time in peace without Manten's stench and slowness. She decided to wear baggy pants and a loose shirt to add to her comfort that day. She was very cheerful and didn't even snap at her oldest enemy, Yura, who was obsessed with hair, even if it wasn't her own. But she had no idea what was in store for her at school.

There was another new student. Sesshoumaru Tetsusaiga. Inuyasha's twin brother, except for the dog ears. (A/N: Doggy Ears!!! *tweak* *tweak*) He had elfish ears.

`Not another one,' thought Kagome as she stared, not believing what was right before her very own eyes. `I have enough problems already without another Inuyasha running around. But he looks so familiar. Could this be that young boy? My prince?'

*sorry it was so short. I have to do a project that's so boring. I probably won't update until next week. Please forgive me. *muttering* stupid homework.

Since I didn't write too much, you don't have to review. *sobs*
