Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha
A/N: I just wanted to say sorry in advance for my complete lack of knowledge of anything Japan, I just know a bit about the country and just so happen to be obsessed with Inuyasha, so this story will unfortunately sound like it is in the US, but any suggestions about anything are greatly appreciated J But anyways, on with the story.
Look Both Ways
Chapter 1
Kagome jumped out of bed and ran out of the house, full speed yelling "I'm late for school again! I'll clean my room when I get home." She broke down the street just to see the school bus leave without her... she growled angrily in frustration, and picked up her pace hoping she wouldn't be late. She ran faster than she thought she could as a few pedestrians stopped and stared as she frantically scurried by. She could not afford any more absences from school or she would have to retake her senior year of high school–She started to run even faster, and onlookers seemed amazed. Rounding the corner, school came into sight. She hurried along, and broke through the double doors. Looking up at the school clock, she sighed in relief when it told her she had just made it. She suddenly realized that all her classmates were staring at her with their jaws on the floor, just like all the people she had passed up while running… in fact she was starting to feel very singled out as the bell rang and they were still staring at her. She suddenly dropped her books to the floor in terror –I am completely naked!
Kagome's eyes jolted open with her hands clenching her pink kitty cat pajamas in realization that it was only a dream. "Phew, I have got to give myself a break" she stated in relief. Looking around her room, she realized that it was brighter than it usually was, terror suddenly ran its way through her body for the second time that morning until she heard her brother Souta turn the television on in the living room for cartoons. It was Saturday.
Kagome grumbled all the way to the kitchen to see what was for breakfast, but secretly vowing to sticky note the days of the week on the ceiling from then on to prevent further "pleasant" morning rise and shines. However, she managed a smile when the scent of pancakes, eggs and bacon reached her nose. 'Mmmm, maybe this morning won't be so bad' she thought to herself as she climbed down the stairs to the sound of Loony Toons (is that still being playing in the morning??).

Thirty minutes later, a very full Kagome and family are sitting around the kitchen table talking about what they plan on doing for the rest of the day… "Oh, oh, oh, I want to go see a friend today!! Pleeeeeeeeease can I? Kagome can drive me, right nee-chan?" Souta exclaimed. "Well, it's kind of far and I am sure Inuyasha is going to want me back sometime soon, he just can't live without his shard detector you know. But sure, it can be kind of fun to irritate the almighty half demon at times" she said smirking widely. As if on cue a very irritated hanyou barged his way through the door glaring madly at a not so surprised Kagome. "Keh" was his first reply "what is this I hear about you wanting to go off driving somewhere? You know I have already patiently waited 3 whole days while you finished off your endless so called "test" things!!! And if you think I am going to wait one more….."
"Inuyasha! Oswari!"

Kagome loved driving, it was one of the more peaceful times of her day, she got to put on whatever music she wanted, and if she thought about it she would burn a CD in advance and could sing along loudly to her favorite songs on repeat. However, today was not the case, instead of the private sanctuary of her Ford Explorer she was toting a more than happy Souta who loved playing with the radio controls and a very impatient Inuyasha who was alternating from staring out the window to see all the houses and shops pass by to staring at Kagome wishing she had let him carry her and her brother so they didn't have to go through all the "normal" and painfully slow methods of transportation. To the Hanyou's delight, they finally arrived at Souta's friend's house. He quickly launched himself from the SUV, but turned around at the last minute to not forget to thank his sister for the ride. "No problem Souta, anytime, don't forget to call and let mom know when you want to be picked up, I'm pretty sure I'll already be gone by then." Kagome replied giving Inuyasha a wink. "Keh" was his singular reply as he turned away from her and crossed his arms to try and hide the small blush creeping to his face from the unusual show of friendliness.
The drive back was more quiet than the previous ride (mostly due to Souta not changing the stations so much). But the silence was broken by Kagome, "I'm starting to miss everybody, I know it hasn't been very long since I had left, but when you are surrounded by tests, you seem to miss your friends a lot sooner."
"Then you should come back more often"
"I am already over there most of the time"
"It's the tests isn't it, you secretly like them"
"No way Inuyasha! I should bring one home for you to take sometime"
Their conversation was stopped abruptly by Kagome having to quickly slam on her brakes to prevent running the red light.
"Ugh, why do they always put these things in the worst places and they are just never timed right or the sensor is always off…."
"Next time I'm going to carry you…. No wait…. There is not going to be a next time, you will just always have to come right over"
"My poor brother, he would not like you saying that his older sister can do him favors anymore, and you know how much he likes you, I think you should just set a good example for him"
"What do you mean "good example" I am always good and besides you don't want Souta turning out all *girly* with you and your mom always around…. Uh, green light"
"Oh, thanks" Kagome replied, she then started to cross the intersection, "What do you mean girly…" But she didn't have time to finish the rest of her statement, it was all over quickly. A car from the other street just HAD to beat that red light and Kagome gasped as she saw the car approaching. Inuyasha, on the other hand, had no idea what hit him as his world slowly faded into darkness.
