Kagome sighed as she sat at her desk, trying to study for a test. It didnt help that inuyasha kept invading her thoughts. She sighed again and closed the book, laying her head on top of it. "Its useless." She groaned to herself, "i cant stop thinking about inuyasha, theres no way i can study and get this memorized by tomorrow morning!" She sighed again as she opened the book back up and tried to will herself to study. She tried for a long time before she slowly dozed off with her head on the book.

Inuyasha was sitting on the tree outside her window, watching her attempts to study that turned into her sleeping. He wondered why she didn't just give up on that school thing she always complained about. He thought back to what Kagome had said before she dozed off. She was thinking about him? He wondered why. He sighed and leaned back against the tree, watching her through the night, wanting to touch her. Mating season was approaching soon and his demon side had already chosen kagome as a potential mate long ago. He was afraid to be around her, in case his demon side took over and tried to mate her. But he was also afraid that if he didn't ask her to be his, someone else would claim her. He sighed in irritation. Why did it have to be mating season already?
