InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Sweetest Sin ❯ School...why is it always School? Part 1 ( Chapter 29 )

Hello one and all. I bet you are wondering why hasn't she updated this? Well the reason is someone was being…a jerk to put it nicely and tried to get me banned from the sites. They succeeded in one and as you can see not the other. Anyway I am back and I am proud to say because of that person, my stubbornness has kicked in more than ever. It may have stopped me for now, but it won't later….

Anyway normally I would answer reviews, but because of the calls of outrage at the treatment from ff.net I had slowed down to contact those from there to tell them to come here if they wish to continue to see more of this particular story as well as the others. I shall now recommence with the continuation of The Sweetest Sin…

Chapter 28

School…why school?Part 1

Since the incident at the shrine yesterday, Isao had managed to worm his way somewhat into their group. But with each passing moment, he feels a little hesitant. Almost as if he doesn't want to.

"Nonsense Isao…they are going to destroy father I have to continue on with the plan or they will succeed." He mutters to himself. But still a part of lingers in doubt. Despite the distrust in Inuyasha's eyes, a part of him longs to know him. Several times he could feel, the glare coming from those amber eyes, embedding themselves in his backside. Shaking himself of that feeling, he continues on. The masking spell firmly in place to hide his features, the dark hair and red streaks emphasized as he pulls it back into a loose ponytail, frames his face as strands fall free.

"Almost ready for school my son?"

Isao smiles as he looks at the silvery haired man, and nods his head. "Yes father almost ready. Just making sure the uniform and everything is in place."

"That's good now remember to stick to the plan…."

"I will father…"

"I have already set things into motion. Be sure to be around Kagome, Yuka and their friends around lunch time tomorrow. If I know Inuyasha he will be there…"

Nodding his head, he smiles and pats his father on the back. His eyes express hurt as the man pulls away as if flinching from the touch.

"Father?"

"It's nothing son….overdid it at the gym."

Feeling a sense of relief, he leaves and follows the guards down to the garage. As he disappears, Naraku shivers in distaste. "How I hate the young. They are so innocent…"

"Yes they are…"

"It's you again Inutaisho…you should have disappeared now…"

"I will not disappear. You will not have the advantage against my sons and their friends and family. I will do everything I can to disrupt the control you have upon my body."

"Still you will not destroy it completely. Oh what is the reason…yes now I remember you wish to know Inuyasha…he was but a child when you died and Sesshomaru…you want his forgiveness."

"It was a sin…what I had done to my sons. I had left them at times when they needed me most. I will know them again as they are now…and maybe have a second chance with my new son…"

"Isao is still of my creation…he will not betray me for them. I can destroy him with but a single thought especially using your power…."

"They will stop you and he will join them…he will not be able to force them to betray one another."

Naraku chuckles at those words. "Who said anything about force?" With those words, he pushes the soul of Inutaisho down once more and locks it within his darkened heart. Gesturing to a creature that has appeared beside him, he is about to give the modern century its first real taste of demons…

"Are you ready my dear?"

The creature nods its head and licks its lips hungrily. Growling in supreme pleasure at the thought of what it can feast on, it disappears in the blink of an eye.

Tsukimine High…

Kagome smiled as she ran up the stairs, turning around towards the edge of the school grounds, she whispers softly, as she waves goodbye to a figure who smiles. As she does so she watches as some of her other classmates, just stop and stare.

Flashback to that morning…

Due to his presence in her time, and because he was not willing to let Kagome be alone and vice versa, Akira and the guys had given Inuyasha some of their clothes to borrow while here. With the masking spell hiding his demonic features to some degree, he appears as a handsome silvery blond haired man, wearing a red shirt and loose fitting black trousers. Upon his feet rests a pair of sandals, which were the only shoes they could get him to wear.

When he had stepped out that morning nervous and shy, he was almost like a scared puppy when Kagome didn't say anything right away.

"You don't like it…"

She watches as his ears flatten down, and Kagome hurriedly rushes up to him. "Inu…it's not that I don't like it…its just…wow…." This is all she can say as her hands slide down his chest, emphasized better by the modern day shirt. "You look good enough to eat…" She thinks to herself only to find Inuyasha looking at her with a mischievous smile.

"I do?"

"Um do what?"

"Look good enough to eat?"

Turning bright red, she nods her head and he smiles and as he pulls her into his arms for a kiss, the others groan.

"Come on we are going to be late for school Kagome!

Kagome growled a little at the comment Jinto made, causing him to hide behind Eri and for Inuyasha to hold back a laugh.

"We had better get going…don't want you to be late ever again…at least not on purpose." He winks at her and she flushes bright red as he licks his lips in emphasis at some activities he had initiated this morning, but because of their friends was never able to finish.

"Behave puppy…" She whispers softly as she grasps onto his hands and along with the others they leave.

Flashback ends…

Smiling at the sounds of admiration at his form, Kagome hears the other girls approaching her from the side. Taking hold of her arms and pulling her in.

"Kagome come on, you will see him at lunch time. We have got to get to class!" Yuka sighs exasperated as her friend struggles against her. Inuyasha from his vantage point merely chuckles as his hearing had picked up the conversation. With their bond, halfway complete, he sends a strong image, and she smiles.

"I will hold you to that."

"I wouldn't expect it any other way…"

Turning and leaving the school, Kagome and her friends are surrounded by irate and jealous girls and envious boys.

"Just who is that guy?"

"Isn't he the one from the dance? I thought it was just makeup!"

"Does he have a brother?"

Kagome smiled weakly as she is surrounded by more and more people demanding. Yuka and Akira look at one another and start rolling up their sleeves, they promptly begin pulling and pushing their way through with the others in an attempt to rescue their friend. They are saved though from having to do any harm by the arrival of Isao and a couple of others that they can't see.

Running to escape, the crowd, they all head towards their homerooms. Yuka and Kagome are in one together with Hojo. Akira, Tsukasa are in another as Eri, Jinto and Ayume share one as well. Each one is about to get a surprise.

Mr. Yoshima's room….

"Well Kagome are you read for class?" Yuka asked as they put away their things.

The miko groans as she stops. Shaking her head, Yuka sighs. "Just what have you been doing, Kagome? You have been back with Inuyasha for a while…"

Yuka watches as her friend turns a becoming shade of red and Yuka can't help but chuckle.

"Never mind…that answers that…"

Heading towards their desk, which they share the two girls sit down as Yuka begins a quick catch up for Kagome. Moment's later the teacher walks in followed by a young woman that as Yuka looks up she smiles wickedly.

"Yuka?" Kagome asks curiously as she watches her friend wave at the young woman.

"Saying hello to my c…err friend." Yuka replies quickly almost revealing the fact that the young woman is her cousin. It wouldn't be good for Kagome to know the new student was her daughter who has been born and yet not born at the same time. How would they go explaining that?

"Okay class take your seats please…" Mr. Yoshima replies as he gestures for the young woman to stay where she was. They students shuffle around one another as they return to their chairs. Waiting patiently, the young woman starts to fidget a little as she feels eyes all on her.

Everyone looks at the young woman with the long black hair and the warm gold eyes that seemed to pulse with life. Her smile is wide and infectious as she gestures with a wave to one of the girls towards the back.

"Class we have a new student today. She has just transferred here from Yamada Prep academy and will be joining our class. Everyone please say hello to Makoto Tanaka."

Hearing a chorus of hellos, Kagome looks to her friend with a questioning gaze. She isn't stupid and she did notice the names are identical to her friend who was Yuka Tanaka.

"Are you two related?"

"Of course not!" Yuka denies vehemently. Seeing a slightly hurt Makoto, she mouths something to her cousin and the 16 year old nods her head. Looking to Mr. Yoshima, who gestures for her to take a seat. Makoto takes one, next to the young man, who her and her brother are watching. Who simply stares at her with confusion…?

"Just who is she…?" Hojo asks himself. He was one of the ones who had seen Kagome and the others arrive and he was not happy, as she had lingered to stare at the Inuyasha. He was already starting to spread some rumors that something wasn't quite right all the time with Kagome's illnesses. Thus causing doubt in the minds of some of their classmates. He knew right now she looked the picture of health, and for one who is sick so much…

"Nice to meet you?" The young woman turns and smiles at him and he finds himself staring into a pair of dark amber eyes.

"The name is Hojo…"

"Well Hojo it seems we will be partners for a bit yes?"

Nodding his head, he studies her features. She looks innocent and yet…something about her is bugging him. And those eyes….where has he seen those eyes?

Ms. Chiba's room

Tsukasa and Akira were busy welcoming Isao to their small group. He was introduced not to long ago and the class was given a study break to prepare for the test and to allow Isao to be shown where everything was by the two guys.

"So Isao how do you like it here so far?" Tsukasa asked. He and Akira were showing Isao where to store his stuff as the teacher allowed for time to study.

"It's different…" Isao replies. Wishing he didn't have to lie to these two with whom he could be friends. He is reminded though as he takes a glance out the window and notices what appears to be a demon waiting for the right moment.

"How so…"

"More people…I was home schooled most of my life…"

"Oh?"

"Yes my father, is president of the Yasutake corporation." Isao says and before he can continue, jaws just drop as some of their classmates heard it.

"Your father is who?" Akira replies coldly. Memories are fresh with hatred for a company that has ruined some of the smaller businesses in Tokyo with their acquisitions.

"Inutaisho Yasutake. The President and owner of the company…"

Pulling Isao to the side, Akira stalks off as Tsukasa gives Isao words of advice. "Don't mention who you are unless you have to Isao."

"What? Why?"

"One of us will explain at lunch but needless to say your father is not a well liked man….or at least he is now, compared to what he used to be."

Walking back to his seat, Isao just stands there confused. He observes the looks of hatred now aimed towards him, and he shivers. The pleasant atmosphere had gone to cold in no time at all.

Mrs. Kondo's room….

Jinto grins as Tokaji appears in class, breathing heavily and looking a little sheepish. "Sorry Mrs. Kondo, the office had misplaced my records."

"Old Mrs., Nagawa?"

"How did you know?"

"Never mind that…class we have a new student today, his name is Tokaji Tanaka… Tokaji please take a seat next to Jinto Wakai and Eri Maeda."

Raising their hands automatically, beckoning him over with huge smiles. Tokaji groans. Finding the empty seat between the argumentative couple, he knows he should have worn those shin guards like his instinct had told him to.

"Hey Tokaji…"

"Yeah Jinto…?"

"Yuka will be happy to see you…."

"Why?"

Eri smiles and pats him on the back comfortingly. "We have lunch with her…"

Tokaji groans at this thought and sinks down in his seat. As much as he loves his cousin, she can be a real pain in the ass…

Three hours and several groans later…

Kagome glanced at the clock anxiously. Makoto is smiling as she distracts Hojo from focusing on her mother to intently. The rumors have gotten around to her and as much as she would like to rip his heart out, she can't for the events he causes pushes her parents together even more, that and due to some keen insight he will have within the next few days…other things will begin to roll into place.

Instead she will just not make it easy for him to go after her mother and father at this stage.

"So Hojo, what is there to do around here?"

Hojo takes the time to respond as his eyes continuously dart to the young woman at the next desk. He observes her constantly looking outside as if searching for someone and growls low in anger at the happy sound she makes.

"He's here Yuka…"

"I know I know I can smell him remember…"

Confused by this statement he attempts to listen in more, when the bell tolls that it is time for lunch. Yuka turns to Makoto and smiles. "So ready for that explanation?"

"Sure and oh Yuka?"

"Yea Makoto?"

"Tokaji will be having lunch with us…" The young woman responds with a wicked smile. "And I learned I can do the same things Momma can…."

"Oh really…." Yuka replies with a glittery smile. Kagome listening in to the conversation as well as Hojo looks confused. "Who's Tokaji?"

Makoto grins as she sees the younger version of her mother looking curious. She also knows full well that her father, although his younger self, will be out there, and considering she is the daughter of the most powerful miko ever, second only to Midoriko. The masking spell hiding their scents should be enough to keep Inuyasha from detecting their identities in relation to him.

Anyway the small trio gets up and begins to head toward the outside where the others are approaching a silvery blonde haired man leaning against a tree.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~

Okay folks it is near three in the morning and I am beat…I decided to make this a two parter and trust me the next one will be interesting…all I have to say is just how will Isao weasel his way into the group and what will Tokaji and Makoto do to keep Hojo occupied enough for Inuyasha and the others to rescue Inutaisho and destroy Naraku's spirit once and for all?
