Ch: 1; the final exam
"He's been standing there an awful long time." Sango muttered as she, Shippo, and Miroku watched InuYasha stand in front of the dry well; waiting. 'Hurry up, Kagome; I need to talk to you.' He thought in his head. He had been waiting by the well for almost three days now! He hadn't been inside since Kagome left; he's also been acting strange. He'd been nervous and jumpy all week.
It all started two weeks ago when Kagome came back from her time with great news.
"So, I'll be gone for some time, I need to study for the last test of the year!" she yelled happily. "That means I'll be able to stay here with you guys more often!" InuYasha's eyes brightened. "You mean that's it, you're not gonna leave unexpectedly?" he asked. "Well, I have to go back sometime, but I'll be here a day or two after." She smiled.
The day after InuYasha and Kagome were having another discussion.
"Will ya shut up, and just hear me out?" he yelled. "No, I'm not coming back, you're gonna have to wait!" Kagome was determined to study for that test, if she didn't pass it, she would have to repeat the year all over again! She just wants to get school over with already. "I'm not gonna wait around for two weeks, Kagome, I'm going with ya!" he yelled finally. "InuYasha, are you sure?" she asked. "Yeah, I'm sure! It's the new moon anyway." he yelled swinging Kagome's bag over his shoulder and walking to the well. "So ya coming or not?" he spoke out. Kagome ran to him after waving goodbye to the others.
"How long do you think before he gets sat?" Miroku asked. "I give him an hour." Sango said. "I give him thirty minutes." Shippo replied nodding. "Care to wager?" Miroku began. "Yes." Sango smiled then they walked in the hut to negotiate their friend's literal down fall.
