InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Welcome to hell: A.K.A my Life. ❯ Family System ( Chapter 1 )

Welcome to hell: A.K.A my life.

Disclaimer: ......PS. I still don't own Inuyasha.

Authors Notes:

Damn, I never thought I'd see the day when I wrote an Alt. Universe fic that took place strictly in kagome's time and kept all the characters in the present. x.x

I swore I'd never do it, and I still don't think it'd be possible.. but, here it is. Damn my muse for being who she is..

This! Folks.. is the current bit of inspiration I'm running on.

Inuyasha, is a sharp witted and smart mouthed young boy, born in Japan, raised in America. Now, after so many years, he's going back.

But what happens when this half demon is put up in a school with all humans.
Well of course, it's not going to be fun.

Throw a big brother in the mix who lives soley (it seems) to make Inuyasha's life a living hell...and we have a fun mix. Now Throw in the rest of the Inu-tachi, and we have a story.

Too bad Inuyasha's the unwilling star of this fic. ^^

This is inuyasha's story of his life, from his POV. Enjoy!

(SKIP THIS PART IF YOU HAVE NO CARE WHATSOEVER ABOUT INFORMATION ON THE EDUCATIONAL SWITCH INUYASHA WILL BE MAKING. I'm just telling about a little switch in the schooling, and everything.. x.x)

PS: For those of you who are very nitpicky about detail in stories you read, let me explain my way around the school systems between Demon Private schools and Japanese Public that Inu'll be transferring too. I'm trying to stay as true to the Japanese School system as possible.. trying being the keyword..oh, and the time, will be around Mid August or September. Demon Private schools start in May and go until March, with a 4 week vacation period, as well as certain holiday's off, including christmas, new years, and thanksgiving. (A tri-mester sort of system)

Japanese schools, from what I've seen so far, begin in April 1st end March 31st of the following year. Because they use a Trimester system, broken up as well by Vacation periods.

Shippou will be attending 1st grade, because that's when children enter in Japan (I think that's the same here, I don't remember that far back x.x)

Inuyasha, went to a school where there were no grades.
I don't know how to explain this. I guess I could go with the idea of this...

When I was in Military schools, we had grades, but the general idea was they tried to seperate us into groups, I know it sounds like segregation, but we had a lot of students, you gotta understand, over a thousand in Maryland I do believe, (even more in Puerto Rico, one school burnt down so they had to mix two schools, over 2100 students in one K-5 school..) and not everybody was on the same level as the other, it depended on the school you went to. I was advanced up till joining a public school myself, much like Inuyasha. We had advanced students, who had regular classes, but were in accelerated reading, science, and social studies. And then there were the basic students, who didn't need as much help, but wasn't as fast of learners as the accelerated, so they had class a bit different. And the slower learners, since there were a lot of parents around who didn't have jobs (mothers basically who's husbands were serving.) they came in and were school volunteers, so we could break the classes into those groups and each would have their own little learning system.

My last school in fact, wanted to do away with grades, and place students in groups where they would feel comfortable on their own, instead of being forced to keep up with a class that was too quick, or being forced to do work that was too easy for them. We would have done it Inuyasha's way. Have years instead of grades, and placing by their achievement levels so that they could keep the confidence in themselves...

But.. x.x I digress!

I know full well I'll be making this wrong. And that the Japanese secondary school system ends at 15 in reality. But this is fiction people. It's my story. Just know, I know the facts about the true School System, I'm just switching it for my benefit.

ON WITH THE STORY!!

^*^
^*^

"Inuyasha, wake up right now..." the deep voice, and sharp slap upside the head of my half brother Sesshoumaru worked to pull me out of my self-induced midday coma. Growling in irritation I sat up and shot him a dirty look that clearly said, 'go to hell and leave me alone.' Of course, a look such as that is usually lost on an emotionless bastard like Sesshoumaru, so it was a pointless effort. As such, I was clearly going to be awake for the rest of the day. Damn.

"Why the hell did you go and wake me up the way my teachers do? Is there some super secret tidbit of information that you have to tell me this time, like say, the key to world domination...or were you just passing by and felt like pissing me off?"

Only my brother could keep that stoney expression and not even once give me a good come back. "I have news for you, little brother, and you will be fully awake to hear it. I am not going to have another Fourth of July incident on my hands due to your lack of attention."

"Hey," I said reclining in my chair and smirking slightly as I stared at the ceiling, watching the fan rotate absently, "How was I to know live steel wasn't allowed on school grounds for the contest. It just said sword fight, they should have been more specific. Besides, his damn arm grew back in a week anyways..."

With a single slip of my bastard brother's foot, my view of the ceiling became a blur. Soon after, the stars decided to make their appearance when the back of my head became re-aquainted with the uncarpeted marble floor beneath me.

Now, once the ringing in my head stopped, and the pounding urge to strangle my, loving, elder brother drifted away, I pushed myself up into a semi sitting position and shot invisible daggers at him. Of course, my luck had to be I'm a horrible aim, I never could play darts to save my life. Though I've come close to taking a few...but that's another story.

"Alright, Sesshoumaru, what's this life altering news you need to tell me. And it better be damn good, none of that pointless shit, I swear if I have to hear about the freaking president not being able to chew his food properly one more time, I'll go and widen his throat myself." I said flexing my claws in front of my face with a morbidly self-satisfied smirk then hopped up, brushing little invisible dust bunnies of my stealths and looked up at him.

"Inuyasha," he paused in what I could only define as a dramatic moment, but that would be giving him too much credit, "I'm sending you to Japan, you'll be transferring to a school there at the end of this semester."

That seemed to give him a little bit of pleasure, as that creepy ass little smile he gets on occasion crept onto his face and I would have grimaced had I not been trying to process what he just said. "Say that again would you? I could have sworn I heard you say I'm going to Japan, at the end of the semester...which, if you care to remember is at the end of next week.."

"Your hearing isn't failing you little brother. You heard correctly, come next Friday you'll be on a plane back to Tokyo with Shippou and whatever else you care to take with you." he said in a harsh tone of voice and I had to stare for a moment.

"But, what about school! I'm actually doing good here!...you can't just ship me off to some foreign school." I exclaimed, indignation plain in my tone. "Damnit Sesshoumaru! When did you decide this hm? Is that what those meetings in your office upstairs have been about? You and your little group of 'nobleman' planning to get rid of me? Did I do something that requires me to be shipped off to a country 16 hours by plane that I'm not fully aware of? There something going on I'm not supposed to know?" I snapped, the anger rising to the boiling point. Red really didn't suit my big brother...

"Watch yourself Inuyasha, remember, the last bout of paranoia caused you to nearly kill another teenage boy. Your first visit to St. Mancy's was cute to them, and a one week stay. You keep it up and you'll have a perminent relocation."

Ooh, that was low. Use my time in a mental institution as an insult. "Look, that wolf had it coming, him and his flunkies have been on my ass since the day I started school at Sharpview! If they hadn't of tried to gang up on me I wouldn't have gone and snapped like that. Jeez, make it sound like it was my fault. Besides, he's a full demon, shouldn't he have been able to handle me?"

"You had to switch schools because of what happened at Baymount Middle School, do you not remember that little 'incident' at the school fair?"

Dredge up some sorry memories why don't ya? "The stupid bastard started it. No where in the damn rules did it say you couldn't get creative with the way you handled your activity. So I took the dunking booth to a whole new plane."

"You nearly killed a peer!"

"Hey, how was I to know he was allergic to caffeine..." I said trying to keep a smile from the memory down, "Besides, I tried to help him, that's when all hell broke loose.."

"Your help nearly killed him, and cost the school thousands of dollars. How an act like that could have happened, still has even myself baffled."

Heh, we were digressing, lovely. "Back to events current, Sesshoumaru. Why the hell am I being shipped off to some school in Japan, I wasn't even aware they HAD schools for demons there." Which was partially true, I knew they were everywhere, it was a well known fact that demons and humans coexisted to a certain level, equally, there was still so much hatred between the two that they wanted nothing more to do with each other.

But that didn't mean I had to actually pay attention to the geography of ever growing demonic schools in the world.

"Attention to detail little brother, helps greatly. But that doesn't concern me, you will not be attending a demon high school anyways, you'll be attending Tenmei High in Tokyo, it is a human public school, seems fitting does it not?"

"Wha-" I stopped and stared at him slack jawed, did he just say human school? But..."Like Hell I'm going to some pathetic Ningen school!"

He stopped my protests with a wave of his hand and I backed down slightly inspite of myself. "There is no room for discussion Inuyasha, you've already been registered and accepted, you will begin your courses a week after you arrive, and I will hear no more of it."

This wasn't right. Hell, this wasn't even fair! "This isn't fair Sesshoumaru, I've done nothing to deserve this torture. I haven't even been to Japan since I was four. What makes you think I'll even be able to still speak the language?" I asked smuggly.

"I am not so ignorant as to not hear you practicing your language skills when you are alone, you forget, little brother, you are not the only one with sensitive hearing in this family." he said turning on his heel and starting for door.

"What about living arrangements?"

This stopped him momentarily, so I suppose he was still listening. Aren't I lucky. "I'm only 16 years old, in case you've forgotten, even in Japan I do believe i'm still too young to live alone, and with a 6 year old kitsune child to top it off." I'll get him on something, I just know it, I'll get out of this.

"That problem is beneath me. You forget, our father was the lord of the western territory of Japan, we are his children, as such we have no need for Human authority. You will be in the care of the servents of the home you are living in, and I will check up on you when the time is due. There will be a human social worker checking in on you from time to time, I will be there as your legal guardian when those times arise."

This was incredible, he was going to lie to the law, though for him it doesn't exist. Typical. "Why...if you're so damned powerful, didn't you just pay off one of those human social workers to put in a fake report on the dates of visitation?"

"I am not as idle as that, little brother, I have no need for bribery where the humans are involved."

He's a lying bastard, but not a stupid one I'll give him that.

"You're leaving, and there is no arguing. Start preparing, and enjoy your last week in school..." he said in what I could have sworn was a snide attitude.

"Zakennayo!" I snapped and walked after him across the hall and ignored the snort of bemusement I gained.

"I do terribly hope your vocabulary is not restricted to such vulgarities, you will not last very long..."

"Go to fucking hell!" I yelled and stormed into the one room in my path I could find, and slammed the door locking it, then hitting it for good measure.

For a moment I was sure I heard a chuckle from him as he decended the stairwell, but I gave that up and sighed. "Like this damn situation could get any worse.."

Turning around I slid down the door and got a good glimpse of my surroundings, and finally realized what exactly it was Sesshoumaru had been laughing at, "Ah hell, the bloody bathroom." Wonderful.

^*^

The time between Sesshoumaru's annoucement and the end of my term passed all too quickly, leaving me sitting in Advanced Algebra class staring at the blackboard...or rather, staring into space.

When I broke the news to Shippou, he was...well confused is the best word for it. He didn't understand at all why we were being forced to move to a strange country so far away. 'There's no reason for it, after all!' I heartily agree'd with the little tyke.

The poor kit had been moping around the house ever since, but I'd been thinking, more so plotting. There was no way in hell I was going to go to Japan! Especially considering this was Sesshoumaru's decision.

If he wanted me to go, he'd have to drag me kicking and screaming to that airport. Plain and Simple.

"Keh.." I muttered under my breath and flicked off a piece of dust that landed on my desk, and reclined slightly, proceeding to poke the Algebra book in front of me with my mechanical pencil.

A female demon with short black hair and the scariest outfit you'll ever see on a female, Yura, looked over at me with nothing short of pure lust in her eyes, as she always did, whenever she saw me...if she wasn't downright hanging off of me to begin with. Damn that woman is freakish. And the funny part of it all, she just wants me for my hair...disturbing.

"Inuyasha, chair on four feet please, unless you'd like another trip to the nurses office." Ms. Kandice said with a lopsided smile as she looked in my direction. She gave blondes everywhere a good name. The only other half demon in the school, Ms. Kandice was by far my favorite teacher. Half Neko youkai, half human, she had mostly blonde hair that fell in loose ringlets down her back, with light shades of blue highlighting her hair, and kitty ears atop her head you could usually find her in a dress or skirt with a tank top or turtle neck, depending on her mood I suppose. Today her emerald eyes glittered with an unusual mirth as she exchanged glances with me and I sighed.

"Sorry." I said slightly and let my foot fall from it's perch under my desk and I fell forward, the scraping of metal dulled by a thud against tile flooring. "And you should realize by now, the only reason I take you up on the offer to the office is to get outta class right?"

"As I was saying, The degree of a polynomal in one variable is the greatest exponent of its variable." she paused and looked up at us, mostly to myself, who was smiling at her with a cheerfulness that I really didn't feel, and she rolled her eyes, continuing.

" Therefore, a Polynomial of degree 0 is called a constant, degree of 1, linear expression, degree of 2, quadratic expression, degree of 3, cubic expression. The formula's are on the board, Inuyasha, be a dear and solve problem number one for me?"

Find p(2) + p(-2) if p(x) = 3x² - 8x + 7.

"Keh, that's simple!" I exclaimed as I glanced down at my book for confirmation, "leave the first part of the equation alone, and take three into brackets with the rest of the equation. Thus you'd have 3 and 2squared in parenthesis minus 8 and 2 in parenthesis plus 7. plus, another set of brackets, 3 and negative 2 squared in paranthesis minus 8 and negative two in paranenthesis plus 7."

I paused again mostly for my own benefit and smirked. "Basically leaving 3 plus 35...for those of you who can't count.. the answer is 38. Easier than learning to walk." I finished with a smug grin on my face and everybody glanced over at me, true to fact, I was smart, one of the smartest in my direct class. There are no grades parsay, like normal schools, so I can't say that...

"Bravo Inuyasha, you were paying attention, once again you astound me." she said and I glared at her with an insulted look.

"Well you heard it from him folks, do evens 4 through 42 for Monday, and the odds for extra credit, no cheating! I want work shown for every problem. Got me? Now you have the least 10 minutes to chat. Have a great weekend, and don't get into trouble!" she said and that's when it got mostly noisy as everybody moved desks or chairs, or just congregated around one table to converse about their weekend plans.

Closing my eyes I leaned back in my chair again and sighed. Today was my last day at Sharpview. This officially sucked.

"Inuyasha..." Ms. Kandice's voice broke my thoughts and I blinked, looking around.

"What?"

"Come on up here for a few minutes hm? Let's chat." she said cheerfully and I shrugged, sat up and slammed my book shut, which startled a kitsune youkai napping behind me. I smirked upon hearing the muffled curse he exclaimed.

"Comin' "

A couple seconds later I was leaning up against her desk, arms crossed in front of my chest, looking at her expectantly, not that there was any real reason to be up there. We always chatted at the end of class, about anything. 23 years old, Ms. Kandice, real name Sorene, graduated college just before joining up at high school as a substitute teacher, however, the teacher she was substituting for, found herself in a set of circumstances beyond her control, and took a 'sabatical' from teaching. Hence, Sorene became Ms. Kandice, and the second Hanyou in a school of full demons. I also know that she has a Major in Sociology and loves Turtle Sundae ice cream. Aren't I smart?

No, not really, we just spend a lot of time talking, in and out of school actually, seeing as how she lives not even a block away from where I live. She knows my sordid family life, I know hers, she knows about my being shipped off to Japan, and she's just as against it as me. However, the difference there, she keeps telling me to behave and not get into trouble, that it probably won't be as bad as I think.

That's what she thinks. I wonder if she was forced to go to a damn ningen school at 16...

"So," she began quietly, folding her hands in front of her, on the desk and peered up at me with an inquisitive gaze, "How's life for my favorite Inu Hanyou?"

Ears twitching slightly at the sound of her voice I shrugged and rolled my eyes, some people would accuse me of having a crush on our teacher, but the truth is, I guess in the two years we've been talking, I've come to think of the woman as an elder sister, who's a totally different species than me. "You want the truth?" at her nod I snorted. "I'm pissed off."

"Language Inuyasha," she chided with a half lit smile and I rolled my eyes, "care to elaborate?"

"Don't give me that, you know today' s my last day at Sharpview. Hell it's my last day in Chicago!" I snapped and kicked the ground, sending a little rock ricochetting off the wall and hitting Ookami in the forehead, who looked around and blinked. Smirking I shrugged my shoulders and stretched.

"Look, Inu, hun, I know you are upset by this decision of your elder brother, but you need to behave, I don't want you to get in trouble. I know your track record after all, and I think you should make the best of this whole situation." she said simply and my annoyed glare dropped slightly.

"What do you mean? what's there to make the best of?" I scoffed and sat up a little bit. This I had to hear.

"Well, think about it. Japan is 17 hours away from here, on another continent, another time zone, across an ocean..."

"But enough about geography.." I muttered and she grinned.

"Sesshoumaru will be here, in Chicago. And you'll be there, which isn't here, which is far away from your big brother, whom you've complained, repeatedly, about how big of a... 'total bastard' he is, to you, am I correct?" she asked ignoring my murmured 'language Sorene' rebuttle.

This was true, I did hate my brother to death, and she had somewhat of a good point. But still.. "That's not completely the point. Sorene," I blinked and sweatdropped at her half hearted glare, "Ms. Kandice, you know my track record, and you also know that this is the first school I've been in where I've remained, for the most part, unscathed by way of the school system. I'm on my best behavior! I'm nearly top student in my class! Where does that son of a..monkey...get off tearing me away from this place after all that hard work to get on the principals good side!"

She cast me a very amused glance at my choice of words and chuckled, "that's true, I've seen a ton of improvement from you since the 'incident' back in your first year here. But, just thinking of this as an all new chapter in your life. A chance to start over!"

With this however she paused and looked up at me, her emerald eyes no longer happy as they were before, but somewhat jaded...I knew what she was about to say next, and I didn't want to hear it.

" I know just how hard it is to be half demon in this world, there are so few of us, you and I being the only two in this school. More so as a teenager you experience a lot more personal hell than I do, I know, I see it in the halls, nobody messes with you whom doesn't already know you've spent time at St. Mancy's...but, the looks you get, don't give me that look young man, and don't deny it. At lunch, aside from young Yura, you sit alone for the most part. There is Jakotsu, the dear, but it's different.."

"Yeah, nobody else likes my cool Silver hair as much as Yura and Jakotsu..." I mused and cast her a lopsided grin and she smiled back. The tension was killed, or at least maimed for an indefinite period of time.

With that the bell signalling lunch, came, and I found myself feeling very depressed right now.

As everybody piled out of the room I stood there and looked at the woman I'd let get close to me, and was amused that she was a teacher slightly, then frowned as she stood up. Since this was my last class with her for the day, she was officially no longer my teacher...just the only friend I had in this godforsaken state, and the one person I was regretting leaving the most.

"Look, don't get all mushy on me, I don't want to make this any more annoying than it already is." I groused and she chuckled then pulled me into a hug, which I absently returned and sighed heavily, handing over a sheet of paper to her after we parted.

"What's this?" she asked and blinked at me, as I winked.

"Just a little forget-me-not, Sorene Kandice. Us Half demons have to stick together, don't let the class go to go hell without me around hey?"

She laughed and nodded, "I'll do my best, dear. I surely will. Take care, and send me a message or two when you get there, hey!" she called as I got to the doorway and made to leave, "call me when you get there, as SOON as you get there, well you know what I mean, if I get a call at 2:30 in the morning I won't be responsible for my actions."

I grinned toothily and nodded, "right, I'll be sure to call at 2:40 then. Take care Kandice, come visit me sometime in Japan if American life gets too old hm?"

"You got it troublemaker, now get lost." she waved and I took off, smirking to myself as I walked down the halls, I could just picture her expression as she opened the sheet of paper.

I'd left her a little surprise, today's assignment completely finished, all the answers, all the work, as well as a small chain, it was a close friend's before they were killed. It was the only way I could show her how much her friendship meant to me, without actually having to say something.

"Ja ne, Sorene." I murmured and sulked down the hallways towards the school grounds for lunch.

^*^

Sighing I settled down under one of the larger tree's in the school yard and pulled out the lightest lunch I've ever eaten in my life, a chef salad, sprite remix, and a blueberry bismark. Now, not all healthy, but it was a good change from the double quarter pounder, curly fries, and Code Red I usually downed before lounging up in the tree I was currently sitting under.

Casting a glance up and down the grounds I watched as the various other teens did what they usual did at lunch, and that varied from eating, gossiping, or testing the depth of eachothers throats. Stupid freaking people need to get a room. Like we want to see that crap.

Rolling my eyes I muttered under my breath and pulled out a notebook, setting aside my lunch I fished a pencil out from one of my many pockets and began to jot down whatever I felt like at the moment, mostly my grievances towards my current situation. And who's on my 'to kill' list for pissing me off. That left out about 10 people in the entirety of the school...

Sorry to say though, my musing was cut short when I caught scent of the one group of people I really didn't have the time or patience to deal with. Ookami and his gang of wolf groupies.

"What's wrong Inuyasha," he started right away, soon as he knew I had realized he was there, "Yura not around today? Aww..that means your all alone. Poor dear, I'll bet that hurts."

Growling absently I shook my head, "and how old are we today boys? you're back to petty childhood insults? Really, if you're going to get on my nerves, at least pull a stunt worthy of my damn attention." I retorted simply, though setting my notebook down next to my backpack and standing up, amber eyes fixed completely on the 17 year older in front of me.

"Fucking Hanyou, need to learn your place in the world before I even consider wasting my breath on you!" he snapped and reached out to shove me, but I had his wrist in a tight lock before he could blink, and I twisted it slightly, putting just enough pressure to cause pain.

"Want to say that again?" I asked, voice lowering dangerously, a very familiar feeling bubbling up in my chest.

"Let me, go. Before I have to get violent." he snarled and I snorted.

"You see, I'm the one with the ability, at this very moment, to snap your arm conviently out of place and break it in 6 different places, just with one little.. wrist..movement.." i said adding more pressure to his arm and smiling malevolently at the poorly hidden pain in his eyes.

"Damnit.." he winced and I grinned. "Fuck you!" he yelled and brought his other arm up, punching me in the side of the face, and at the same time sliding my feet out from under me, and I yelped falling to the ground, but not before twisting his arm and flipping him over my head.

That's when it hit me. Sesshoumaru's earlier threat.

"I'm sorry Ookami dear, did that hurt?" I asked in a sweet tone of voice, getting up and brushing my shirt off. Offending grass stains be damned.

"You're going to pay for that you half breed." he yelled and charged at me, I grinned and dodged to the left easily, only to run into one of his conveniently placed flunkies and found myself having a conversation with the ground, before turning over and rolling to my feet.

"Oh, so now we're going to have a party here? 3 on 1, is that seriously fair kids?" I asked childishly and shook my head.

It was with that, that the small slicing sound of metal being unsheathed did I realize exactly what was going on. They were still pissed from when I nearly killed him... oh shit..

"We heard you were leaving today dear Inu boy. Just thought the three of us would give you a small going away present... as a token of our undying affection. Now don't blink, you may miss it." The elder wolf said and charged over me, I could already see groups gathering as he leapt over my head, trying to confuse me. Some were watching intently, others chatting, and a few were running towards the school.

"Watch yourself Ookami." I said and turning around in a flash, drawing my hand out and grabbing the blade before he could pierce the back of my head, blade first and I immediately felt the searing pain run up my arm at having basically sliced my hand open. Throwing the knife up, I lodged it a tree branch and kicked him in the chest, knocking him down, and barely managed to dodge the next attack from his first friend.

"Damnit! Play fair!" I growled and side kicked him into their last buddy, managing to grab my bag and notebook and took off at a fast run.

"Where you running!!" the wolf boy's voice trailed after me, and my ears swivelled in the direction of the fowl noise, before flatting against my head as I turned around.

I could feel the blood rising, everything, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, and it was for a second that all I could feel was hatred, the burning...anger and searing emotion that usually gave way to a very ugly scene. I had to get away. And fast. I wanted a scene, I didn't want this.

"Stop running you insolent whelp! Didn't your mother ever teach you that running never made any difference?"

That stopped me in my tracks. "What did you say..." I asked, eyes glinting dangerously. "Do not speak of my mother you piece of trash!"

"Say what? Oh, I'm sorry, that's right. You're HUMAN mother died when you were a baby. What was it that caused it though, you never said. Did she kill herself after she found out she had a son that was part demon, or was she killed for the same fact..."

Stop it. stop talking before I kill you. Damn it! "Bastard! Shut up if you want to keep your life!" I yelled backing away and trying to find a place where I could vent my anger, but he kept advancing, his knife was back, red liquid trickling down the silver blade in jagged lines...my blood.

"I warned you."

"Why are you leaving us, Hanyou. I'd ask if you were too good for us.. but, that'd be a lie. You don't belong here anyways. Filthy fucking half breed. You deserve what you get. A disgrace to our kind, no matter IF you're a royal brat. If I were you, I'd turn tail and run right now. Because this knife ain't half as dirty as it could be, and I'm itching to pay you back for the incident back in first year..." he said smiling evilly at me.

There was a morbid sense of self worth in his eyes, and I couldn't help but grimace. I hated that look, it reminded me of myself when..

I couldn't help it, I felt the anger rising, building, it was starting to consume me. With every inhalation I could feel the transformation taking over. I wasn't going to be able to stop it this time if he kept up, there are so many innocents here.

"Everybody get the fuck out of here! RIGHT NOW! GET AWAY!" I growled dangerously and backed away from an advancing Ookami.

Nobody moved. Damnit! "I'm not kidding, if you idiots value your lives, leave!"

I could vaguely hear a voice calling out from somewhere in front of us. But the more he advanced, and the more the taunts I'd recieved echoed in my ears, the harder it was to stop myself. Red over took my vision.

I could feel the hatred take control, and that was all there was to it. When I woke up next, he'd be dead, and I'd be back in St. Mancy's. At least my wish would come true right?

Wrong.

"Inuyasha!" A female voice followed by insulted cries as Ookami and his gang were lead off the school grounds by the school police, worked to bring me off the blood red high, and I stood there, eyes flashing, and let my head fall into my hands weakly.

Growling slightly I jumped as she touched my shoulder, Sorene. "Get away from me." I growled, voice dangerously low as I fell to my knees and avoided her gaze, and those of the inquiring students, mostly 1st years..

"Inuyasha, calm down. I'm here, it's Sorene...please come back Inuyasha." she said gently, and I closed my eyes, and took in a deep breath. For a moment I still wasn't sure where I was, just that I felt very warm. Angry and Hot.

The burning desire to kill was still bubbling in my chest, but as she spoke soothing words to me, I found myself calming down ever so slightly, and let her, as well as the school Psychologist, lead me away from the school grounds, as well as one very disturbing phone call was brought to the attention of one Elder Inu Youkai.

And boy, was that it for me.

^*^

So that's how I found myself stepping off the 8 am arriving plane at Tokyo International airport. Tired, Sore, Pissed off, and disgruntled.

All in all. Today sucked.

"Who the hell do I have to kill around here to get a decent life?" I groused and fell into the seat of the limo that was to take me to my new home, and ignored a small laugh from Shippou as he crawled in and sat down on my lap, burrowing into my shirt and falling asleep right away.

Well at least he could nap.

Let's see, to recount how the trip went:

Step one: Get myself royally chewed out by big brother as well as..yes, dragged to the airport, though not so much kicking and screaming as slightly sedated, damn tranquilizers..

Step two: Get strapped in, on a plane seat, first class, next to a 6 year old whiny kitsune child, and behind a group of giggling teenage girls, who wouldn't shut up to save their lives.

Step three: Survive the entire 17 hour plane trip without going awol and killing everybody on board once the Tranquilizers wore off.

Step four: Get off the plane and into the limo still slightly wabbly and out of it.

One would think that life couldn't get any worse, well guess what. It did. To top everything off. They lost my damn luggage!

I knew this was going to be more trouble than it was worth... I hate my life.
