Disclaimer-Never have never will own Inuyasha.

So sorry to those of you how were reading the last story/sequel I was writing It wasn't getting enough attention for me so It had to be with or deleted. But fear not! here is my latest creation. Read, Review, and Enjoy!

Chapter 1(Life is a Full Time Job)

"Hey Sango do you think you can clock me out?" she said as she threw her apron down in the back. She was running late for her evening classes.

"Sure Kagome just leave you number on a napkin or something"Sango shouted from the other end of the shop. It was about seven or eight in the evening and the rush hour crowd had started to pour through the front door.

Kagome made a dash for the bathroom. She hated going to class in her work uniform. She quickly changed into a pair of jeans and a cute top.Grabbing her book bag and waving at Sango she was out the door. Kagome felt bad about leaving Sango in there by herself to deal with the crowd, but she had to be on time to class this week other wise her professors would think she had given up. It was math and Kagome has never been good at it. If she was going to fail it would be because she was horrible at it; not because she didn't show up.

Kagome was tired. She sat at her desk and watched the professor write and erase like an on going cycle. He barley gave anyone any time to copy anything down. Things started to get dark and soon Kagome could barely hear the voice of her professor any more. Then she felt her head jerk. She was falling asleep. She started to pinch herself with the hope that it would help keep her awake; long enough to finish her class.

"Ms. Higurashi!"the professor said sharply. Kagome realized she was picking her head up off the desk. The other students had left. The pinching hadn't worked. Her professor took a seat next to her.

"Ms. Higurashi, how do you expect to pass my class if you can't stay awake and learn the material?" he said watching Kagome come too.

"I'm so sorry...I just I'm so tired taking care of my brother...working to pay the bills"she said rubbing her eye's.

"I understand...It must be hard...not having both parents...having so much responsibility at such a young age" he said very sympathetically.

"...is there any hope for me at all?"Kagome said glancing over her book trying to figure out what she had missed during the lesson.

"Your going to need a tutor...but since you are so busy I guess I could just give you one myself". He walked over to his desk and quickly wrote down something on a piece of paper.

"Here"he said handing Kagome what looked like a screen name. She gave him a strange look but trusted his judgement.

"Yes it's a screen name for one of my best students...I'm sure he can help...and with your busy schedule this kind of tutoring should work out just fine for you" he said giving her a reassuring pat on the back.

"Thanks"she said packing her things and glancing up at the clock. It was getting late and Sota would start to worry if she wasn't there soon. She thanked her Professor one last time before leaving the room and heading home.

After walking up two flights of stairs Kagome almost collapsed upon coming through the front door.

"Kagome your back!"her bother said greeting her at the door.

"Yeah...did you eat what I had prepared before I left?"she said putting her books down and rubbing Sota on the head.

"Yes it was very good too compared to some of the other things you leave me"he said honestly.

"Hey!...I do my best ok?...its not as easy as it looks"she said leading him to his room. Sota jumped right into his bed and waited for Kagome to tuck him in.

"Homework?...did you do it?"she said realizing that she hadn't asked.

"Yeah I did it"he said rolling his eyes.

"Good...now try and get some sleep tonight ok?"she said getting up and leaving the room.

Kagome knew in the back of her mind that tonight wasn't going to be any different than the past couple of weeks had been. Sota woke up almost every night screaming from the horrible dreams he had been having about the death of his mother. Kagome loved her brother and even more so know since he was all she had left.

It had been a night just like this when Kagome had gotten a phone call from the police stating that her mother had been killed in a car accident. She got there as quickly as she could to find her brother in shock. He had watched his mother die. About a week later he started to talk again...at least to her anyway. But the night mares seemed to get worse as time went on. Sota began to talk in his sleep. Sometimes Kagome would listen and just wish she could stop the dreams from happening.

Kagome turned on her computer and pulled up the Internet. Then she remembered the slip of paper her professor had given to her. She signed into AIM and searched the screen name. He wasn't online. She left him a message in the hopes he would get back to her. It read:

Hey my name is Kagome. Professor Langevin said that you would be able to tutor me in math. Here's my sn littleshinyjewel. I Really hope that you can help me I cannot fail his class. Even if you see that I'm not signed on Please leave me message and let me know that you got this

-Kagome

With that done sleep finally got the better of her. She closed her laptop and stretched out across her bed and was soon asleep. Her rest was short lived. About an hour or so had gone by before Kagome found herself rushing into Sota's room to find the boy screaming and kicking in his sleep. She frantically woke him up.

Kag(POV)

This has got to stop. Surely the neighbors must think I'm abusing him...I don't know what to do. These dreams seem to keep getting worse and worse.

"Sota wake up...It's ok"she said as she held her shaking brother.

"It was the same dream Sis"he said eye's wide and red. There were trails where his tears had fallen.

"I'll stay in here with you tonight"Kagome making her self a spot next to Sota. The rest of the night was silent. Kagome and Sota got some much needed rest.
