Inuyasha: Another Place, Another Time.

Chapter 1

"Briiing." The bell buzzed and signalled the beginning of a new day at Onigumo High School. Students quickly shuffled along the hallways to get to their classes, and the sound of lockers being slammed shut echoes through the halls. Soon most of the students have arrived at their respective classes and settled into their seats. As that exact moment, totally on cue, the PA morning announcements began.

"Hello students, This is your morning announcer, and everyone's favourite announcer, Miroku..." And the announcements went on and on.

The students listened without much interest, until suddenly the morning announcer said something that caught everyone's attention. Now the bored expressions on their faces were replaced by looks of puzzlement.

"Well, this just in; our principle, Mister Onigumo have a few announcements to make." There was a slight pause, and then a new voice spoken through the intercom.

"Good morning students, this is Principle Onigumo." The new voice was somewhat dark and gloomy. "I was just informed by the school cafeteria that all prices will rise 50 per cent because of food supply shortage."

Almost immediately, groans and moans and complaints echoed throughout the school in unison.

"What the hell?! Damn bastards trying to rip up off again!"

"Shit, I forgot to pack lunch..."

"Oh my god, I don't have enough money..."

"Hahaha, I don't buy stuff from the Cafe, suckers." The pronouncer of this comment quickly received an array of cold stares.

As the students continued to make their opinions public, the PA sounded again.

"Haha, I gotcha didn't I! I was kidding, haha." It was Onigumo.

As suddenly as it began, the groans and moans were replaced by sighs of relief.

"But school fees will rise 100 per cent starting next year." The cold and dark voice added.

This time no complaints were heard, and as if sensing that his words were taken as another joke, the voice started again.

"I'm not kidding this time."

At once, all the students started complaining again.

Well, all expect two.

"You say he's just like your father?" asked one of the two. A closer look revealed it was a boy with long white hair and golden eyes.

"Yeah, but can't blame them since they're twins." agreed the other. The comment came from a girl with ruby coloured eyes and her hair pulled back and tied with a string of beads decorated by a few feathers. "But screw him for being an ass anyway."

The boy raised an eyebrow, and the girl read it perfectly. To her, reading the boy's facial movements was a piece of cake. After all, she has been his "friend" for quite a few years now. Currently the boy's eyebrow said: "I wonder which one you will grow up to become.."

The girl erupted like a volcano awakening after a long slumber.

"What the hell! Even if I have a father and uncle with no life and a fucked-up sense of humour doesn't mean I'll grow up to be like them!"

The only reply she received from the target of her outburst was yet another raised eyebrow. This one read: "You said it, not me.."

"Just fuck you, Sesshoumaru." The girl exploded again.

She was about to grab a handful of the boy, Sesshoumaru's long white hair when a pair of hands fell on her shoulders and stopped her.

"Kagura, you know he's right." said the owner of the hands. It came from the seat behind Kagura.

She whirled around; seeking the owner of the voice.

Facing her was a girl with long red hair, which had a handful of them tied into two loose ponytails, and the rest flowed down her back.

"Damn it, whose side are you on Asuka?!" Kagura yelled.

"Nobody's, but he's right to say you would probably grow up to be like a boy." replied the redhead.

"This has nothing to do with gender!"

"Huh? I thought Sesshoumaru said you were gonna grow up to be a boy like your dad and uncle so you got pissed off again and was gonna rip of his head if I hadn't stopped you." This was followed by a yawn, as if saying this happened on a regular basis.

"Can you ever stop listening to other people's conversations, especially mine?" Kagura said hotly. "And if you're gonna say something... Never mind, just don't say it."

"I'm just trying to help you two improve your relationship." Her friend shot back.

"What the hell are you talking about! Sess and me are just friends!" This came out a bit too shaky than Kagura liked.

"Ooooo, Sess huh? That your little nickname for him?"

"Shut up! Just leave us alone!"

"Ooooo, you want to be alon-" Before she could finish, Kagura cut her off.

"Go worry about yourself and you Shinji!"

Asuka felt blood rushing up to her face. "What! There's nothing going on with Shinji and me." Then she added just for good measure: "That guy is a wuss."

"Ooooo, but he's your "wuss" Kagura teased.

Asuka lowered her head and a dark look flashed onto her face.

"Damn that little bitch! She told! I'm gonna kill her!" She growled under her breath.

Throughout the verbal exchange, Sesshoumaru looked at both girls and tried to make sense of their conversation, but failed at last. However, his face betrayed nothing at all.

------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------

The morning classes passed slowly and finally the bell signalled lunchtime. It was considered by many, students and staff alike, the best time on a school day. As everyone got ready for lunch and went to conduct whatever business they had planned, Asuka searched for her sister.

Minutes passed and no a bit of progress for Asuka. She went from one floor to the other, starting with the basement level. All the art and music classrooms were down in the basement. Asuka never for a moment thought her sister would be there. Nor could she think of a reason why she would be.

Nonetheless, she checked anyway since her sister did occasionally peep into some of the guitar classrooms to check out "hot guys." Above the basement was the main floor. On this level language classes were dominant. The office and staff rooms were also located on this floor.

She wouldn't be on this floor unless she got in trouble again. Asuka thought bitterly.

The second floor was the math department, also known as "The Mathematic Hell" and "Geek Heaven" by some students. This floor served no purpose at all during lunchtimes and breaks. Except sometimes couples would come up here to spend some quality time together if they did not want their fellow schoolmates to discover their relationships, and that's teachers included. This more or less sums up all the facilities in Building A.

Building B was especially built for the science department. Biology, Chemistry, and Physics were the offered courses in the category of science. Biology was the most popular with the male population of the student body for obvious reasons. Chemistry was the most popular in general since everyone loves the blow stuff up in class in hopes of being able to interrupt the day's class and get no homework. Physics was, well, popular with the, um.. , physics people... Asuka and Kagura both chose Biology, and unfortunately both landed in Physics.

The Cafeteria was the centre of civilization during lunchtimes at Onigumo High. It was a self-standing building, and was big enough to double as an auditorium when needed. This was the most likely place for Asuka to find her sister.

Noise filled Asuka's ears as she pushed open the swinging doors and entered the Cafe'. It was stuffed with bodies as usual. Asuka looked around and spotted a girl with a hair-do almost identical to her own. The colour was also the same red-orange, except the other girl's hair was brighter in texture. This was Asuka's little sister. Asuka walked briskly toward her younger sibling and when she was at arm's length, she swatted the other girl on the back of the head.

"Ow! Hey! Who did that?!" cried Asuka's sister as she turned to face her attacker. Her voice contained both surprise and anger.

"Your big sister that's who!" Asuka yelled back. "now I'm gonna make you pay for what you did!"

"What did I do?!"

"You told Kagura 'bout me and Shinji!"

"Just for that you were going to hit me? It's not like it's some big secret, everyone with half a brain can figure out you like him and he likes you." The younger girl said with a bored expression.

By now, Asuka realized their conversation had suddenly became the centre of attention in the Cafe'. Many people were staring at them, while others tried to look as if they did not notice the argument but were all doing a poor job of it.

"Come on, Ayame," Asuka said as she dragged her sister out of her seat and toward the swinging doors. "We need to talk."

"Let go! I want to finish my food!" whined Ayame.

"Fine, bring it along." Her older sister replied. "Just hurry up, people are staring." There was a sense of urgency in her voice.

Ayame smirked, knowing all too well that her sister doesn't want people to get the impression that she gets all concerned over things she considered as lovey-dovey and mushy. Such as the topic they were just discussing. They headed for the garden near the back of the school where people were scarce. When they were out of earshot of others, Asuka spoke.

"I told you to keep it secret 'cuz I'm not sure if I really like him yet."

"Well, the way I see it is if you like someone, tell them and see how they respond. Besides, in you case, Shinji likes you, too."

"How would you know? He never told you that."

"You are sooo stubborn."

"Oooo, I'd rather be stubborn than be sorry. Remember the times you confessed to that Kouga guy and it turned out he had the hots for some other girl. Her name was Kagome right? You were so sure he liked you too back then, as well."

"...."

"Dunno what to say now, huh?"

"But he is my boyfriend now isn't he." This sounded more like a statement than a question.

"Yeah, but what's there to say he wouldn't change."

"If he does, I'll kill him."

"Yeah sure."

"Seriously."

"Wow, I didn't know 'till today that my little sister would kill out of love. How cute." Asuka remarked sarcastically. "And let me guess, then you'll kill yourself."

"No."

"Oh, then I guess you're just homicidal."

"Yeah, Kinda."

Neither girls spoke for a while.

Then Asuka broke the silence.

"Haha, tell you what. I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier. Let's just forget all this, 'kay?" A smile touched Asuka's lips.

"And I'm sorry for being such a bigmouth." apologized Ayame. She was also smiling.

The two sisters laughed as if one just cracked a funny joke. All the hostility from the earlier confrontation seemed to have simply disappeared and went with the wind.

------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------

"You catch all that Shinji?"

"I dunno. Right now, I feel like a perverted stalker."

"Don't worry, I felt the same way when I first started doing this. Once you get use to it, it's really quite enjoyable."

"..., we should get going, class will start soon."

"Yeah okay-- OW! You kneed my crotch..."

"Ah! Sorry!"

======================================================

So we find out Kagura's got something for Sesshoumaru and Asuka's got something for Shinji, while Shinji possibly got that same something for Asuka. Phew! Things are already so complicated, and they're about to get even more conplicated. Will Shinji and Asuka ultimately get together and will our mystery man's crotch injury ever heal completely? The story continues...
