A/N: What should have happened in the episode "Gap Between the Ages" when Hojo rode off before Kagome could ask for his math notes (kind of helps if you know the episode)...

End A/N.


Hojo turned slightly left in his bike's seat and waved goodbye to Kagome.

"Hojo, wait! I need to ask you something!" she yelled after him. But it was no use; it seemed he failed to hear her since he continued on his way, heading towards the bloody sunset.

"Dammit it to hell!" Kagome exclaimed aloud to herself. Angrily, she threw the bag of dead lizards Hojo had given her a minute ago onto the ground. Surprised at her own cursing, she reasoned it was from spending so much time with InuYasha. "He seems just like a regular teenager with the way he talks..." she muttered.

Heading back into the school, Kagome wondered in the back of her mind why there were so many students still there, just standing around talking and doing nothing, even though school had ended a while ago.

She left the school books that weren't her own on the library table before grabbing her own things and walking home. Too bad mom can't afford to get me another bike to ride to school on...it'd save me a lot of time going to and fro. But since I lost mine in the Feudal Era, and InuYasha broke mom's old bicycle beyond repair, I suppose I'll just have to go without...

Kagome kicked off her shoes when she got inside her kitchen and sighed loudly. InuYasha poked his head out of the living room, where he was playing video games with Souta, and asked, "Kagome, what's wrong? I could hear you huffing over the teevee."

Shaking her head, Kagome simply said, "I'm going to fail my math test tomorrow."

"Oh; is that it?" was InuYasha's response before he went back to trying to get the hang of playing on an Xbox Kinect.

Kagome threw herself on her bed and screamed into her pillow. I'm never going to get into high school if I don't get start getting better marks...

There was a knock at her door. "Who is it?" she asked, her voice muffled by her pink pillow.

Souta stuck his head through the door. "Is something the matter, sis? InuYasha said you were kinda down when you came in."

Turning her head to be heard, Kagome told him about her dilemna. "And then Hojo rode off before I could ask for his math notes. I don't know what I'm going to do!" she complained.

Nervously scratching his cheek, Souta said, "Well, geez, sis, why don't you just call him? We do have a telephone, as you know from the phone call you had for the better part of an hour last night with Sosuke."

Why didn't I think of that? Kagome wondered.


A/N: I was sitting in my favorite recliner, watching this episode, instead of studying for the three tests and one quiz I have tomorrow, when the idea hit me, and in three seconds I made the decision to write this one-shot. And voila, twenty minutes later, here it is. (Hehe, instead of working on my chapter stories' chapters...)

It comes across as weird to me that Kagome never cussed, therefore making it sort of OOC in any fanfics for her to do such. Also, it honestly seems to me strange that she didn't think Oh, I could always call him up and ask him to explain some things.

Tell me what you thought! Gracias!

End A/N.
