Chapter 15

Kagome woke up in Inu's arms again the next morning. She smiled, and cuddled in more to his chest. That's when she saw the marks on his upper left chest again. She had forgotten about it in all the excitement. She pulled back slightly, and got a good look at it. When she finally saw it up close, she let out a gasp. It was a scar, with her name in kanji over it.

She looked up to Inu's face. His eyes were open and looking at her.

“I thought you couldn't scar,” came out of Kagome's mouth before she even thought of what she was going to say.

A sad smile appeared on Inu's lips. “It's where Kikyou shot the arrow.”

Kagome frowned. “But I never saw it all those times I wrapped your chest wounds.”

“It showed up right after you left. I'm not sure why, but it did.”

“What about my name? How did that happen? Is it a tattoo?”

Inu smiled. “I don't think Youkia can get tattoo's for longer then a day or two, but I'm not sure on that. No, that showed up over the scar after I made the wish on the Shikon.”

“Why is it my name? Shouldn't it be Kikyou's? She's the one that made the scar.”

Inu grinned. “Now that one I know the answer to. It's because you're the one that heals my heart.”

“Huh?”

“You love me for me. You don't care if I'm a human or hanyou, or even a demon. You just love me. Kikyou only wanted to change me, and use me to get rid of her obligations. You just wanted to be near me, in any form I took. You helped me realize that I'm fine how I am. You healed, and still are healing, all the wounds my heart got from people and youkia telling me I wasn't good enough because I was a hanyou. Now a days that isn't such a big deal, but 500 years ago, it sure was. I was never accepted by anyone. But thanks to you, I have family and friends. So, you heal my heart.”

Kagome smiled. “That's sweet. I hope it doesn't go away now that we're together. I kinda find it sexy.”

Inu grinned down at her. “Wanna go have a shower, and find out some of the more igneous uses for those shower heads?”

Kagome grinned, got off of the bed, and said, “Race you!” then took off for the bathroom.

She didn't have a chance, since Inu knew how to control his speed, and Kagome just got all these hanyou gifts the other day. He ran right past her, picking her up as he went, and didn't stop until he was inside the shower.

Kagome smiled up at her mate, and let him turn the water on. They then spent a pleasure filled hour in there. And Kagome found out that there was more then one use for a shower head…

$&$&$

It was finally Monday, and all the people that had to get to school were up early. Kagome was a little worried that Kano was up and talking about going to school, but there was no Rin or Sess there to take him. Inu then explained that he always took the kid, so Sess wouldn't have to leave Rin as she slept. Kagome thought this was sweet.

“Are you ready, Brat?” Inu asked as they were about to head for the car. “You have your backpack with your homework and books?”

“Yes Uncle Inu.”

“You have the lunch your Auntie Kags made for you?”

“Yes Uncle Inu. I`m ready to go to school.”

“You sure you're ready for a horror filled day at school?”

“Uncle Inu! I like school! And yes I`m sure. I have everything I need.”

Inu just smiled. “Okay, then why don't you have your anchor on?”

“Opps!” the little kid smiled sheepishly. He then reached into his pocket and put on a chain. He changed right before their eyes. Then Inu picked him up and started for the garage.

Kagome couldn't help but smile at the sight. They looked more like father and son then uncle and nephew.

When the three got to the garage, Toki, Kaiya, and Shippo were waiting by a black SUV.

“We ready yet?” Toki asked.

Inu raised an eyebrow as he got Kano in his car seat. “And why didn't you all just go on your own? You could have just taken one of the cars and gone with out us.”

Kaiya smiled. “And miss the reaction the girls will have when they see you? I don't think so!”

They all laughed and piled into the SUV. Kano was excited that they were all going to take him to school. Inu explained that he had to walk the kid to class, and hand him over to the teacher, since he would be there so early. Kagome offered to do it for him. Inu smiled and said, “Why not.”

When they reached the school, Kagome got out of the front seat, and got grabbed Kano's hand. Toki had been nice enough to get the kid out of his car seat when they stopped.

The two made their way to the class room. Kano had to tell her where to go, since this was the first time she had been there. When they got to the class, Kagome knocked on the door.

A young woman with light brown hair, and soft brown eyes, stood there. She had a confused look on her face when she saw Kagome. Then Kano spoke up.

“Hi, Miss Aikenka.”

“Why, hello Kano. How are you today?”

“I'm fine,” the boy said with a shrug.

“And who is this that's dropping you off today?” the teacher asked.

“It's my Auntie Kags. She became my aunt Friday night.”

Kagome smiled and put her hand out to the teacher. “Hi I'm Kagome. It's nice to meet you.”

The teacher looked Kagome up and down, as though sizing her up.

“It's nice to meet you too. But I need to ask, where is Kano's uncle? Juro is the one that usually drops him off.”

Kagome smiled. “He's waiting in the car. I offered to drop Kano off today. I just love him and his sister. They're so sweet.”

One of Miss Aikenka's perfect eyebrows rose. “I'll have to go out and check this out. We don't usually have new people dropping the kids off.”

Kano let out a little growl. Kagome frowned at him and grabbed his hand again.

“What about the other children?” Kagome asked. “You can't just leave them alone, can you?”

“There are no other children this early in the morning. I let Kano start coming this early, because Juro told me about the new circumstances.”

Kagome was starting to dislike his woman. She seemed to use Inu's name too freely.

“Well, than I guess we'd better be on our way to the car. Juro won't like it if he's late for his first day of classes.”

With that said, Kagome and Kano made their way back to the car. Miss Aikenka was right behind them the whole way. When they got back outside, Inu stuck his head out and shouted, “Hey Kags! Why'd you bring the brat back out?”

Kagome smiled and brought Kano and Miss Aikenka to his window.

“Kano's teacher wanted to make sure I was legit. She didn't trust me for some reason.”

Inu raised an eyebrow, and looked the teacher right in the eye. “Why would Kichi not trust you? She's a dog demon, she should be able to smell that we're mated…”

The teacher blushed from the look that Inu was giving her. “I'm sorry, Juro. But I have a cold right now, and I really can't smell anything. I'll take Kano back to class. What time will you be picking him up today?”

“I won't be,” Inu said as he motioned for Kagome to get into the car. “His father or mother will be here. I have classes until 5:00 today. They didn't want to impose on you more then necessary, so one, or both, will be here at 3:30. I`ll see you when I get home, Kano.”

Once he was done talking, Kagome had gotten into the SUV and buckled up. So he just started the car and took off, leaving the two behind on the sidewalk.

“I thought demon's couldn't get sick,” Kaiya said.

“We can't,” Shippo said. “Kichi just wanted to see Juro. She's been flirting with him for years. She used to come to see Kin about all sorts of Inu youkia related things, since Kin's the leader of the tribes, being the lord of the western lands, and the Tia-youkia.”

“I hated her then, and I hate her now,” Inu said. “She never seemed to get it through her thick head, that I was in love with some one else. I swear she became a teacher, just so she has a reason to see me, since it was always known that I drove all the kids.”

“I used to love that!” Kaiya said. “You were like our own personal chauffer. And when I got to high school, I was the envy of every girl there. They all wanted to know who the hottie that dove me to school was.”

Kagome smiled. “I wouldn't have minded having a hottie drive me to school either.”

“Keh,” Inu said as he pulled into a parking spot. “I made Toki drive her after I nearly got accosted by some of the girls. Then when she was old enough, we all made her drive herself.”

They all got out and headed to their classes. Inu and Shippo were lucky that morning, no girls were there to accost them. But then, it was rather early yet.

The mates didn't have classes for another hour, but Inu had to go to the office and get his schedule. So the two made their way there.

When they got there, the dean was also there. He smiled when he saw Inu.

“Hello, Juro. It's good to see you again,” he said. He was a tall, balding man, that Kagome would put in his early thirties. But Inu had told her that he was actually younger then Inu himself. Miroku had made a charm for him to make him appear older. It helped him get the job as dean at the school.

“Here to get your schedule? And who is this lovely woman by your side?”

There was no one else in the office at this time, so Inu knew he could talk freely.

“This is Kagome, my mate. I hope you don't mind, but in two weeks we're moving her into the mansion, so she needs special permission to stay off campus. And yes, I'm here for my schedule.”

The dean smiled as he looked for Inu's time table. “I don't think there'll be a problem with that. Even the humans around here like to keep me happy.”

“That's why we're here,” Kagome explained. “Neither of us want to live with out the other. But I'll still be staying in my dorm room in the mean time.”

The dean just smiled and sent them on their way. When Inu looked at his schedule, a smiled came onto his lips.

“What did you say your first class was today?” he asked.

Kagome gave him a funny look, but old him anyway, then promptly asked why he wanted to know.

“I have that too,” he told her handing the sheet of paper over to her. When she looked at it, she let out a gasp and gave Inu a huge hug.

“It's exactly like mine!” Kagome said. “We have all our classes together!”

The two smiled, and Inu put his arm around her shoulders, and went to class.

Before they knew it, it was lunch time. There had been next to no incidents with any fans of Fukumaden yet. But the day wasn't over yet. The teachers had told all of their classes that just because two of the members of the band were now attending the school, that didn't give anyone permission to accost them every time they were seen.

Inu and Kagome were now on their way to the mess hall. When they got there, no one seemed to notice that the famous Juro Hogosha was in the building. Inu couldn't have been happier. But it wasn't long after they had sat down with Toki, Kaiya, and Shippo, when they heard a scream of “Juro! Hibiki!” Inu and Shippo let out a sigh.

“It figures we wouldn't go all day without being accosted at least once,” Shippo said.

The whole group turned to see who had screamed. But what they saw was the dean walking up to the girl, and place his hand on her shoulder, before talking to everyone in the room.

“I just wanted to let you know that anyone who accosts Juro Hogosha, Hibiki Amatou, or Toki and Kaiya Souryo, will get suspended from attending school for one week. If you do it again after that, you will be expelled. I don't want the fact that two members of Fukumaden, and the brother and sister of another member, attend this school to interrupted it. So, please keep this in mind when you see these people in the halls. Thank you.”

He then walked out. The other students all looked at the table the four were sitting at. But they didn't get a reaction form the five sitting there. The group just went on eating and talking, as though they hadn't heard the announcement made by the dean.

As the day went on there were no more screams of the boy's names heard. All the other students were on their best behavior. None of them wanted to get kicked out of school just for being fans of a band. Most of them understood that the band would want to have their own privacy.

When the two were finally done with their classes, they made their way over to Kagome's dorm room. Shippo had planned to meet them there so he could catch his ride home.

When they got to the building, there was a big crowd around the front door.

“What's going on?” Kagome asked one of the people that were there.

The girl turned around and said, “All the members of Fukumaden but the lead singer are in there. We all just want to ask for a signature or two.”

“Didn't the dean tell you all to leave us alone?” Inu asked.

The girls eyes widened. “Your… your…”

Inu sighed. “Yes, I'm Juro. Now would you mind answering the question?”

The girl wouldn't quit smiling, so one of the other people that had heard the whole thing answered.

“The dean said not to bug you or Hibiki, we all figured that the other three were fair game.”

Inu growled. “Well they're not. This is why we didn`t want anyone to know who we were!”

“They like their privacy just as much as the rest of the world,” Kagome said calmly. “Why don't you all go to their next concert and get a autograph there?”

“Because,” the girl pouted, “they didn't do it at their last concert, why would they at the next one? Beside, who knows when their next concert will be.”

“What if I were to tell you that the dean talked us into another concert at the end of this month?” Inu asked.

“That's great!” a lot of people shouted.

The girl that they had been talking to still pouted. “But that doesn't mean you'll come out after and give autographs.”

“I promise I'll get the whole band out there. Happy? We had more important things to do last time, and that took up a bit more time then we thought.”

The crowed cheered and merrily went on their way.

Kagome smiled at Inu. “You didn't tell me you were going to have another concert.”

Inu shrugged. “I was going to ask if you wanted to go tonight. You'll have the same seat as last time. Only this time Hana, Taka, and Akiko will be out there with you. Kane wanted to have a night out, but didn't know what to do, since that Friday is the first night her husband has off. So she offered to run the show for us, and let Taka off the hook.”

“That's nice of her. So who's taking care of all the kids then?”

“Her husband. He loves kids. I keep telling the guy to become a teacher, but he insists that Kin and I pay him better as a bouncer.”
