InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Hauntings ❯ The Singing ( Chapter 7 )

Kagome sat down at the lunch table with Sango and Miroku, trying to ignore the endless babble that poured from the mouth of the pink thing called Helium. It had followed her all through her classes, causing everyone to stare. Nobody seemed too surprised that there was a floating pink chatter box shoving cookies down people's throats and snapping teeth in their pants.

 

“I can't believe this thing is the ghost you were talking about!” Kagome said to Sango as they began to eat.

 

“I thought you said you had already met him…” Miroku scooted closer to Sango, who in turn scooted away.

 

“I didn't mean him! I meant Inuyasha!”

 

“Inuyasha? Who's he?” Sango asked, stealing a fry off of Miroku's plate while he stared at some passing girl's ass. “I've never heard about him before. What about you Miroku?” She jammed him in the ribs to get his attention away from the brunet in the umbrella miniskirt.

 

“The Inuyasha who haunts this school after hanging himself fifty years ago, Inuyasha?” He asked.

 

Kagome nodded.

 

“You know about him?!” Sango asked, surprised that she didn't know about him.

 

“Yeah, I came across the news article when I did my report on the prom night disaster. It so happens that there was a terrible storm that night and everybody had to stay at school because the grounds were flooded.”

 

“That I know, you wouldn't leave my store until I peer-edited it for you.” Sango smiled at the memory of him buying her a big lunch so she had an excuse to being late from her break.

 

“Yes well, not only did the janitor and senior die, but also some kid was found hanging from the tire swing rope the same night. The school board suggested cutting down the tree but a lot of people had problems with that. The tree had been in that lot since before this school was built. They say that Inuyasha still haunts that tree.”

 

(`0') “Whoooo” helium made eerie ghost noises as he floated above Kagome's head underneath a handkerchief. “So scary! Tell it again! Tell it again!” Kagome swatted him away.

 

“When did my life become a friken cartoon?!” she cried.

 

Helium went up and patted her on the head. “Hey…you could always just ask him!” He said pointing to the blank space behind her.

 

“Hu?!” They all looked over but all they saw was air. “What do you mean? There's nobody there… oh gods! I'm talking to it!” Kagome began banging her head on the table, her hair flipping back and forth wildly.

 

“He say you better stop doing that or he's not gonna kiss you tonight!” Helium said, cupping his hands over his mouth as if he were telling a secret.

 

The ghost who happened to be exactly where helium just pointed grabbed for him. “Helium! You weren't supposed to tell her! Just stop her!” He yelled as he tried to grab helium out of the air. Helium avoided his grasp with wild zigzags and twirls. Inuyasha lost his balance and fell through the table. For some odd reason he was never able to pass through the ground so of coarse he hit the floor. Cursing he jumped up through the table and came nose to nose with Kagome. Her eyes went wide as he came up and he wondered if she could somehow see him.

 

“Kiss? What kiss? Kagome who is helium talking about?” Sango asked.

 

“Yes, who is this invisible person?”

 

Inuyasha turned away and crossed his legs, hovering just above the seat. Kagome was turning red and her breathing stopped. Inuyasha watched her, concerned, but after a while she let it all back out of her lounges with one long heavy sigh.

 

“I honestly don't know who he's talking about.” She said smiling. Sango giggled and Miroku fell back out of his chair.

 

Inuyasha smirked, she new how to avoid complete embarrassment, it's not like he had expected her to tell people she was dating a ghost. She wasn't really…it wasn't like he liked her or anything…he just wanted to be around someone interesting for a while. Not just helium.

 

Helium flew back over between Inuyasha and Kagome “What do you mean you don't know?! I was talking about Inuyasha silly! He said he wasn't going to kiss you if you had a big bruise on your forehead—” he was cut off by Kagome grabbing him and stuffing him in her lunch bag. “Hey! There's a cookie in hear!” He yelled from inside the bag.

 

“It's triple chocolate fudge, you can have it.” She said.

 

“So Inuyasha…the ghost Inuyasha, is the one he was talking about?” Sango sat thinking, taking a sip of her raspberry ice tea.

 

“What did he mean by not kissing you tonight? Could it be that you are…?” Miroku left the thought unfinished, smiling as Kagome's blush grew darker. Once again Inuyasha was thankful for being dead.

 

Kagome picked up her stuff and moved away from her new friends, she went to go throw away her garbage, and then headed to the hallway to wait for the bell to ring. Inuyasha followed her, leaving the two others lost in their own thoughts. At least they looked like they were lost.

 

The sound of a smack echoed around the room and Kagome turned around to see Sango running to catch up to her, an unconscious Miroku lying on the floor.

 

Then the sound of muffled cries filled her ears and she turned towards the trashcan.

 

“Oh helium, I'm so sorry!” she ran over to the garbage and fished out her paper sack, opening it up to let the annoying pest out. “I totally forgot about you!”

 

“How could you forget? It's only been two minutes!”

 

“Well, you said all those things about me and inuyasha and I got upset.”

 

“So you and Inuyasha are—” Miroku got knocked out again by Sango.

 

`Keep your mouth shut dumbass!” Sango snarled.

 

Kagome grabbed hold of helium and carried him out into the hallway before he could say anymore. “Helium look, how do you know about Inuyasha?” She asked.

 

Helium just pointed over her shoulder and said, “Because he keeps following you around!”

 

Kagome looked straight at Inuyasha, yet couldn't see him. She turned back to helium, which was floating back and fourth chanting ridiculous love rhymes.

 

Helium, tell me. Is there anyway I could see him?” she asked.

 

Helium thought for a while, then out of nowhere he twirled around and zigg-zaged. “I SMELL PIE!!!!!!!” He cried, zooming to the window and jumping.

 

Kagome ran after him as he fell out and down onto a couple sharing a piece of cherry pie. “Helium say, the farther you fall the higher you bounce!” He yelled as he grabbed the pie and disappeared.

 

Just than the bell rang and Kagome had to get to class. She sighed and turned around, walking right through Inuyasha.

 

He stared after her, watching her disappear into a classroom. “She wants to see me…outside of her dreams…” He couldn't help but wonder what it meant. What did she think she could find out from seeing him during the day.

 

“And I~ Will alwa~ys love youuuuu oh I will alwa~ys….lo~ve YOUUUUUUU!” Helium had appeared again and was now singing...very badly…

Inuyasha swatted him away and flew out the window and down to the tree. He seriously needed to think.
