**Modern Era Japan**

**Night**

Kagome sits at her desk, in her bedroom at home in the modern era, contemplating how her life…her love life…had gone from no boyfriends to two guys, literally, fighting over her.

"Ugh! How did I end up in this mess?!" I wondered to myself. "I mean, who'd have thought that going to the feudal era would land me, not one, but two guys fighting over me?"

I ruffled my hair in frustration. It's so hard to choose between them, because they each have their pros and cons.

"How girls at school can juggle multiple relationships, at the same time, just blows my mind. Major props to them. I just couldn't do that."

As I was lost in my train of thoughts, Inuyasha came in through my open window. Silently walking up behind me, he leans in and whispers in my ear, "What has you so lost in thought?"

"AHHHH!" I scream, jumping out of my chair and lean against my desk as I turn towards him. My heart beating so hard against my chest, I swear I was going to have bruises the next day. I tried to hide the pile of papers on my desk, hoping he wouldn't see them.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"What do you mean? I came to get you, since you were supposed to be back two days ago." Inuyasha scuffed.

He noticed I was trying to hide something behind me on the desk and reached for one of the papers.

"What's this?" he asked, glancing at the list of pros and cons underneath his name.

"O-oh, um, nothing. Give it back." I try to grab it back from him, but he was too quick.

He jumped back and landed on my bed, paper still in hand. As he was reading the list, his face changed expressions from angry to happy to embarrass.

"Oh crap," I thought to myself, "this isn't going to be good, but at least he happen to grab his list and not Koga's."

It took a few minutes for Inuyasha to finish with the whole list (yeah, it was a pretty long list, mostly on the con side, although he has a fair amount of pros as well). While he was stunned into silence, trying to figure out what the list meant, I grabbed it back from him. Stashing it, along with the stack of other papers, into an open drawer in my desk. Closing the drawer, I pulled out a small key, turning it in the keyhole, securely locking away the embarrassing papers. Looking behind me to make sure Inuyasha was still in a confused daze and not paying attention, I hid the key in a safe place. I walked back to my bed, grabbing his hands to bring him back to earth.

"You okay?" I asked.

"Huh?"

"I said 'you okay?'" I repeated a bit sharply, hoping this might bring his attention back.

"Oh…um…yeah, I think," he said while he sat down on top of the bed, "so, um, what was that list about?"

"N-nothing!" I sat next to him, looking away trying to hide the blush I knew was already spreading across my face. Wringing my fingers, waiting for him to start yelling or badgering me to tell him, but it was just quiet.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, I turned back towards him to see what was going on. Without me noticing, he had moved to his normal spot on the floor near the end of my bed and fallen asleep. I guess it didn't bother him too bad for him to not push the issue.

Relishing in the peaceful silence, I got into bed and fell asleep.

**Next morning**

*beep, beep, BEEP, BEEP!* the alarm beeping progressively louder until I slam my hand on the snooze button to quiet it, if only for a few more minutes.

Slowly getting up and out of bed, I turn off the alarm completely. I start to gather my uniform and head to the bathroom to change, when I notice Inuyasha is gone.

"Where could he have gone? Back to the feudal era?" I wondered as I changed clothes quickly, in case he came back soon. However, he didn't return.

I went downstairs for breakfast, only to find Inuyasha sitting at the table in the living room, talking to my mom.

"Morning dear," my mom greets as she sees me in the doorway, "breakfast is ready for you in the kitchen, so help yourself."

"Morning Mom, thanks…Morning Inuyasha," I greeted, trying to sound as nonchalant as I could muster, but according to Inuyasha's "hmph" in response, I failed miserably.

I ate my breakfast as fast as I could, grabbed my lunch, and head towards the door to go to school, when I was stopped by Inuyasha blocking my way out the front door.

"Excuse me, I need to get to school" I tried to go around him, but he grabbed my arm to stop me.

"No, you're not. You're coming back with me to the feudal era…today" he said as he pulled me behind him towards the bone eaters well.

"Wha-WHAT!?" I stammered, trying to pull my arm free from his strong grip, "I have a test today! I'm going to fail the class if I don't take it!"

My complaints had fallen on deaf ears, because he didn't slow down his pace or let go. Instead he picked me up and carried me princess style to the well and jumped in.
