InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Silence ❯ The Sound of Friendship ( Chapter 4 )

Disclaimer- I don't own InuYasha, if I did it wouldn't be so popular cause I'd mess it up.

I have been signing (using Sign Language) for several years, and decided to make a story about it. I don't own any of the movies or things here either.

“Talking”

`Thinking'

“Signing”

“Talking and signing”

 

 

InuYasha was searching the internet realty website when Haru and Shippo came in.

 

The two walked into the twins' bedroom. Shippo stared as Garrett wrote something down on a piece of paper and handed it to Reika, who, in turn, did the same thing.

 

Shippo looked at the two of them and smiled. “Hey Garrett?” He looked up, to Shippo that was a good sign. “You two wanna play truth or dare?” Garrett signed something to Reika and she nodded.

 

“Yeah, we're in.” Reika watched as Garrett moved from the floor and sat next to her on her bed. Soon, Haru and Shippo were across from them.

 

“Okay, the only rule is you're required to talk and sign so everyone understands each other.” Shippo stated, “Garrett, truth of dare?”

 

“Dare.”

 

“I dare you to…”

 

But he was cut off as InuYasha walked into the room and motioned for Reika and Garrett.

 

“Shippo, I think it's best if you left right now.”

 

“Bye Shippo, see ya tomorrow.” Haru said as he watched his friend leave.

 

InuYasha led the two into his room and had them sit on his bed; he pulled a chair from his desk and sat across from them.

 

“Something happened last night after everyone went to bed…” InuYasha's face looked pale, “Sesshoumaru and I have decided that it would be best for you to stay with Garrett for a while. Haru will be staying at Shippo's.

 

And Garrett, she'll most likely be staying for a week or two, so don't you dare try anything, `cause I will find out.” Garrett nodded his head and InuYasha had her go pack, he kept Garrett in there though.

 

“Garrett.” Garrett looked strait at him, “The ancient god tree is about to be cut down, Sesshoumaru left to check it out and Manomaru is back… It won't take long and…” Garrett shook his head.

 

“I know you're lying to me. You look too scared.”

 

“Kikyo's going to be here for a few weeks along with Kagome and the band of seven, things around here are going to be hectic because of why they're all coming and I can't tell you why… all you need to know is that she can't be seen to much. I know who you are though, and your family better keep her safe.”

 

Garrett hung his head. He knew it too, who his family was, InuYasha and Kagome were never able to kill him, but the did get the jewel. “I'm sorry about what they did…”

 

“Watch out for her, she can take care of herself, but I don't think she can face this alone. Don't tell her about this either.” Garrett nodded his head and left. “Oh, and Garrett,” He stopped at the doorway, “Feel free to stay over anytime after this, `cause if things go good, you'll be a hero in this family.”

 

Garrett went into the twins' room and watched both twins packing and Sesshoumaru lying down on Haru's bed.

 

Garrett grabbed his bag and waited for Reika to finish packing things into a backpack and her school bag. When she was done she hugged InuYasha and Sesshoumaru before leaving the apartment and walking down the stairs of the building.

 

Reika tugged on Garrett's sleeve and dropped a backpack. “Did he tell you what this is all about?”

 

“Yeah, and don't worry about it, it isn't important.” The two of them raced to Garrett's place using their inhuman speed.

 

By the time they got to Garrett's apartment, Reika was panting. Garrett opened the door with his key and they went into his room. Garrett grabbed a notebook from his bed and plopped down onto his bed. Reika smiled and sat next to him. He handed her a pen as he looked for another one that was sandwiched between his bed and the wall.

 

Reika, ready to meet the `rents on Saturday?

 

Yeah…

 

Don't worry, I've lived with `em, and they can be pretty nice when they feel like it.

 

Reika read that and laughed. She handed back the pen and sighed.

 

School the next day was boring, but they got through it remembering that this was the last year.

 

The last class of the day was history and Reika and Haru were glad to see her brother and Shippo. Haru was called up first to quote his section of the Constitution.

 

“From article one section seven:

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.”

 

Haru smirked, as the teacher was shocked that he didn't choose one of the one-liners.

 

“Reika, let us see if you can top your boyfriend here.” Reika rolled her eyes, but shuffled up to the front of the class.

 

“Article one, section 2:

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to choose three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.”

 

As soon as she was done, she shuffled back to her seat to ignore all of the other kids doing the stupid assignment and was all to ready to leave by the time the bell rang signaling the end of school.

 

Haru jumped into his brother's car and waited for Reika to buckle up in the passenger seat before driving to the apartment.

 

He parked in the normal spot, but his eyes widened as he saw his mother's car parked beside his and internally sighed.

 

They would be leaving earlier than he hoped.
