Kagome sighed as she sat at her desk, waiting for her history teacher to show up. Today was her birthday and what did she get? Practically nothing! Here she was, turning fifteen and all she had to show for it was a "journal that had been in her family for generations" and some fake cheapo "demon's foot". Really, couldn't her grandfather given her something normal for once? As she turned this thought over in her head, she failed to reconise her friends talking to her.
"Anyway, I think Hojo is sweet on you, Kagome-chan. Kagome-chan? KAGOME-CHAN?" Yuki waved a hand in front of the fuming teen, "Kagooooooomeeeee?"
"Huh -wha?" Kagome snapped out of her reverie, only to look at her three friend's puzzled faces. "Hehehe *sweatdrop* gomen gomen! What did you say?"
Erri glanced at Kagome, her eyes questioning, "Kagome-chan, are you all right? You seem really out of it today."
"Oh, yeah, I fine, I'm fine. I was just thinking about some things..." Kagome's voice trailed off as a slight frown on her face.
"Ooooo, was it about *snicker* Hojo-kun, perhaps?" Yuki asked, prodding Kagome with a finger.
At this statement, Kagome's face turned a brilliant shade of red, "N-no. What gave you that idea? I was just thinking about my birthday!"
"Uh huh suuurrre." Kagome's third friend, Mika, sarcatically said.
"That's what I was thinking about! REALLY!!!" Kagome all but screeched, her face turning a very interesting shade of purple. "I don't kn-" she stopped in mid sentence when the teacher entered the room.
"All right class, break time's over. Everybody get into your appropriate seats." the teacher announced.
As everyone started to go back to their seats, Yuki managed to whisper to Kagome, "Admit it, Kagome-chan, you like Hojo-kun."
Kagome's face turned a shade darker and she grumbled under her breath, "I was thinking about my birthday. Besides I don' t like Hojo-kun that way. He's just a friend."
"Right, what ever you say, Ms. I-am-in-denial. What eeeever you say."
"Mou, you guys are mean!"
~*~*~*~After class*~*~*~*~
"So, what do you guys think of the history project?" Mika chirped as the four friends exited from the school building.
"I'm doomed!" Yuki moaned and put her head in her hands, "That project is worth 50% of our history grade! You know how badly I suck at doing projects. I'm bound to fail for sure."
"There, there now." Kagome sympathetically said as she patted her friend's shoulder, "I'm sure you won't do to badly. All we have to do is research the legend Touka-sensei assigned us and give a report. He didn't even set any guidelines. That means you can go and let your creativity flow!"
"Yeah! Kagome-chan's right! Don't be so hard on yourself. By the way, what legend did you get?" Erri questioned.
"Anno...I think it was something like...He-heracule? No, that wasn't it. H-h-Hercules! Yeah, that's what it was, Hercules." Yuki answered.
"Well, at least your topic is better than mine. It's well known. I haven't even heard of the legend I got assigned to." Kagome sighed.
"Oh? What is it?" Mika questioned, intrigued.
"Hmm? Oh, Inuyasha. My legend is Inuyasha."
