Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha


Chapter 51

"What is taking Kagome so long?!" Taka sat impatiently on the Bone Eaters Well with Inuyasha sitting by it.

Some of Inuyasha's bruises were visible while Taka had bandages here and there for the more serious wounds. The two were now waiting for Kagome to return from her time.

"That wench.. Always takes forever when she says she'll be back soon.." Inuyasha stood.

"Hm? Now what are you doing?" Taka looked over at Inuyasha who was about to jump in the well.

"Goin' ta go get her!" He snapped. He jumped.

"Oi! I'm going to!" Taka made a grab at him. She got his rosary and pretty much choked him.

They were surrounded by the blue aura familiar to Inuyasha. When they got to the modern day Taka released Inuyasha.

"Please tell me that was an illusion or something.." Taka looked up.

After growling and fixing the rosary Inuyasha shook his head.

"Now we're in Kagome's weird time..." he took her hand and jumped out.

They walked out of the little hut and Inuyasha bounded towards Kagome's window. Taka looked around slightly confused and slightly amazed. With one last look around she followed Inuyasha through the now open window. He was sniffing around.

"Kuso..." He grumbled as he stood straight, "she was here.. But awhile ago.. And she told me she didn't have 'school' for a few days.."

Taka decided not to ask any questions and began snooping. She found where Kagome's uniforms were kept. Inuyasha crept up behind her.

"I dare you.." he smirked.

"To what?..." Taka glanced at him.

"Put that on!" he laughed.

Taka smirked. "Fine."

She disappeared into the 'washroom' or whatever Inuyasha told her it was called and came out wearing the uniform... about twenty minutes later.

"Took you long enough.." Inuyasha grumbled, he now lay on the bed.

"Well it's kind of hard to figure out how to put something like this on when it's your first time! Baka!" She snapped. She still wore the bandages.. they were covered by Kagome's top so no one really could see them and the others.. no one would really take notice to the one on her cheek or neck, behind her hair.

"If you put this on.. You'll look close to how Kags looks.. Except for the usual facial expression.. Your eyes.. Fangs... And your ears.." Inuyasha tossed her a feminine cap, that wasn't like the one he usually wore. "I found it on this hook thingy."

Taka took it and put it on. She looked in Kagome's mirror.

"Freaky.." before she could say anything more the door opened and Ms. Higurashi stood there.

Taka was about to turn fully when a load of laundry was put in her arms. "What the?"

"Thank goodness you're home Kagome! I need you to do up this laundry.. I was called for a job interview and have to be there soon! Hello Inuyasha.. Oh and please make sure you check on it once in awhile! I don't want it forgotten!" The woman hurried out the door.

"Oi! Matte!" Taka exclaimed.

"Too late.. Door closed out there.." Inuyasha laughed.

"Well what the hell?! Do you know where Kagome is?"

"Iie.. You'll have to use that noisy thing that they use.. What's it called... oh yeah.. The 'washing mashin' or something.." he stood and walked out the bedroom door.

Taka followed clearly unstable and they walked into a small room.

"All I know is you put the clothes in this big hole and then put this stuff that tastes REALLY bad into it and press the button." He explained.

"Ok.." Taka shoved the clothes into the washing machine. "This stuff?" She picked up a box of laundry soap.

"Hai.." Inuyasha made a 'blech' sound.

"How much?.." She received a shrug. "Oh well... bottoms up!" She dumped the whole thing in and closed lid. After pressing the button the two left the room and headed into Kagome's room.

After about fifteen minutes Inuyasha noticed bubbles at the door.

"What the hell.." he walked to the door and looked down the hallway, "The mashin is attacking us!" He exclaimed when he seen where the bubbles were coming from. They ran into the room and sure enough the washing machine was overflowing with suds.

"Iron Reaver!" Inuyasha sliced it in half.

"Inuyasha.. What if that was important to Kagome in a way.." Taka muttered.

"Then I suggest we get the hell out of here before she gets home and says that special word.." Inuyasha once again bolted off and out Kagome's window.

As for Taka... she took the other way.. Out the door..

"Kagome!"

She turned her head and seen at the gate three girls... Yuka.. Eri.. And Ayumi. Yuka walked up to Taka and took her arm.

"Come on Kagome-chan! You said we were going shopping today!"

Taka had kept the hat covering her face and looked back at where Inuyasha was, her look clearly stating 'help'. Inuyasha stroked a pretty large cat's fur.

"Buuyo.. I can smell trouble..." he muttered. The patched cat replied with a meow and started to purr.

xXx Kagome xXx

Kagome, Souta, and their grandfather walked with grocery bags in their arms. Kagome sighed.

"Now I don't have to return to the Feudal Era empty handed." she laughed a bit.

They walked up the stairs to the shrine and Kagome's relieved face turned to a shocked one. Suds were now flowing out the door. She 'eeped' and ran towards the house. She put the bags on the table and ran upstairs. After going into the laundry room she shut off the washer.

"One or two names are written all over this..." she growled in annoyance.

Souta was inside with their grandpa already.

"Kagome! What happened?" He called.

Kagome walked down the stairs. "We're about to find out.." she walked outside and a confused brother followed with their grandpa behind him.

"Osuwari!" Kagome exclaimed once out there.

In an instant Inuyasha fell from the tree he sat in to the ground, holding Buuyo above him.

"I knew it.." Kagome growled.

"Should have guessed.." Grandpa nodded.

"Hai!" Souta laughed.

"Oi!" Inuyasha stood. "It's partially Taka's fault too!"

Buuyo jumped from his arms and went to rub against Souta's legs.

"Well where is she?" Kagome put her hands on her hips.

"Your friends dragged her off saying they were going 'sopping'." Inuyasha shrugged.

"'Sopping? Oh my god... you mean shopping!" Kagome gasped.

"That's the word!"

"Oh god, oh god! Souta! You and Gramps clean up! Onegai! And you.." she pointed at Inuyasha. "I'll deal with you later!" She ran down the stairs and headed to where Yuka had told her they were going shopping that day.

Inuyasha rubbed his neck and got into the tree again. Souta and Grandpa stared at the entrance for a second.

"We should get to work.." Souta pointed out.

"I agree.." The two headed inside.
