Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha....*yawn* why do you people even think I do? And this goes for future chapters too so don't get any ideas -_- I'm tired leave me alone...

Okay, now that I'm absolutely, 100% tired, I would like to start my first, hopefully successful, never before seen in my world, Inuyasha fanfiction, Starring:

Inuyasha: as himself; Kagome: as herself...

Okay, they get the idea!

Oh yeah, let me add my muse, ...what was your name again?

-_-; You too tired...let me type for now.

Okay. *yawn* Arigato.

No problem, now...where were we...OH yes! I was introducing myself...My name is Ayumi-chan...I know it's not the best of names but blame my friend here she's not too smart. Well, some of the time. Anyway...

*SNORE* Zzzzzzzzz.....

As I was saying...

*bigger SNORE* Zzzzzzzzzzzz...

Oh forget it. On with the fiction....

"Higurashi!"

"Eh?" I said, coming out the trance I was in.

"Higurashi, are you feeling well? Maybe you should go to the nurse? You have been very ill lately..," the History sensei said with a hint of concern.

"Oh! No, no, I'm fine."

"Well then, please pay attention we don't need students failing the class," she threw a chalk board eraser at Genki, "BECAUSE they weren't paying attention now would we, Tamashi?"

"No, sensei," he replied in a drowsy voice, rubbing a bit of chalk dust out of his hair. He had been caught sleeping.

"Now, if you will all turn to page 126 in your..."

After that I stopped listening. What was the point? I wasn't going to be here for my high school exams so why bother? Inuyasha always comes to drag me back to the Sengoku Jidai, does he ever consider that I might have more important things? 'What could be more important than completing the Shikon no Tama?'

Family. Mama worries when I'm gone for so long. Jii-chan always covers me in those stupid bits of papers whenever I come back, 'What on Earth POSSESSED you to stay so long! That demon better watch it! The next time I see him...'

Friends. Arumi is clueless but what about everyone else, like Eri? I don't even know what the latest movies, gossip, or clothes are, I've been gone so long....

Love. Wait? Why did I even bring that up? Hojo-kun needs to get-a-clue. So why did I think that?

School. It's important to have a good education. 'Be cool...Stay in school,' those posters always say. Maybe I could be like the girls of the Sengoku Jidai and marry young. Wait? How did I get on that subject again?

Just then school was dismissed. I hurried home, thankful that I had at least a few hours until Inuyasha came. I still needed to pack all the stuff I would need. Between Inuyasha and Shippo I always needed an extra bag for each of them just for food.

Thinking of Shippo brought a smile to my face. He's so young and innocent. We'll not completely innocent, he does tend to get on Inuyasha's nerves one too many times. Inuyasha would bop him on the head and well...that just proves how immature Inuyasha is. He's so rude, too. And he is always following Kikyo like a lost puppy. That's it he's a lost puppy...always shunned because he was a hanyou...then Kikyo accepted him for who he was, well sort of, and Naraku broke them up. I accept him for who he is...why can't he love me? I stopped in mid-stride. Then I continued towards home. What is wrong with me? Do I love Inuyasha? Well, maybe a little. And it does kind of hurt when he runs off after Kikyo. We've been growing closer these past few weeks. It all happened after I saw Inuyasha kiss Kikyo. I shuddered, it wasn't one of my most favorite memories. Is it time for me to make up my mind? Stay here in my time or in the Sengoku Jidai? Maybe...

"Hey, Kagome," Inuyasha said and jumped in front of me.

He startled me so much I jumped a foot into the air before I actually realized it was him. "Inuyasha! Don't startle me like that! What are you doing here?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "I had nothing better to do. Are you done with that 'school' thing of yours?"

"Yes, but I still have to pack all my stuff. You do want good food to eat don't you?"

"Feh! I didn't come here to take you back. Think all I care about is the food you bring, heh? No, I just...I, umm...well..," he started stumbling over his words.

"Come on," I said impatiently and dragged him towards the shrine house, it was only a block away.

"Hey! I'm trying to say something here!"

"Well say it when we get to my house, I have to start packing or we'll never make it to the Sengoku Jidai before sunset, and it's COLD!" I said and shivered to emphasize my last word.

Inuyasha gave in. Before I could protest he picked me up and ran to my house. He stopped outside the front door and waited for me to get over my shock so we could go inside.

"Can I say it now?" he asked. It was his turn to be impatient.

"Hai," I said after removing my shoes and setting down my smaller dark blue backpack I use for school.

I started to walk up the stairs to my room but Inuyasha grabbed me by the shoulders and turned me to face him.

"I wanted to tell you that...well...Kikyo...Kikyo's dead," he blurted after stumbling a few times.

I looked at him...no I mean really looked at him, he was looking straight at me and I could see into his amber eyes and I knew he wasn't joking, but he wasn't hurt either....

"How?" I whispered after looking into his eyes for a few minutes. I was starting to feel dizzy, his eyes were so, so revealing.

"She..," he took a gulp of air and continued, "She was trying to umm...well you remember how she almost dragged me to hell a long time ago? She tried again only this time she didn't get out in time and she was sucked in......" He trailed off and looked down but I knew there was more.

"And..."

He looked up at me, probably surprised that I knew he hadn't finished. "Umm...and tonight's the new moon..."

"Nani?!?! Why didn't you say so earlier? Are you going to stay here for tonight?"

He nodded. "I already asked Higurashi-sama. She said I could sleep in the guestroom. I told Sango and Miroku, too."

It's hard for Inuyasha to admit but he doesn't like being weak, especially when he turns human.

"Let's go then!" I grabbing his hand and dragging him up the stairs, putting on my best fake smile, "We need to set up the guest room for you...I wonder if Mama still has those clothes she bought for you..." I ran into the guest room and pulled open the dresser that was in there. I pulled out a set of clothes for Inuyasha, who sat on the bed. "Go take a shower, and put these on we're going somewhere..."

Inuyasha visibly cringed. I bet he doesn't want it to include any of my friends... His last experience had been all too noisy for his sensitive ears. Inuyasha got up and trudged down the hall with the clothes in hand.

"Do you remember where everything is and how everything works?" I called after him.

"Yes," he replied rather flatly.

After I changed the sheets and left a chocolate bar for Inuyasha I ran downstairs to call my friends. After all I don't know the latest things to do around here any more.

After asking Mama if I could go, we decided to meet at the park, then go to a movie and get ice cream afterwards. Mama said she was planning on going to a friends for dinner anyway with Jii-chan and Sota, she would be gone before I left and wouldn't be back til late.
