Island Paradise

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha...

It was a regular school day for Kagome. Sitting in the English classroom and listening to the boring teacher repeat everything that they had learned over the past few weeks. Of course, no one was really listening. Who really wants to learn about 'nouns and pronouns' over and over again and again until you've practically got the definitions and examples pouring out your ears? No one. Either the kids were looking at the ceiling and counting the squares, or they were asleep on their desks. If the teacher would ever shut up you could probably hear a snore once and a while.

Kagome was one of the many counting the ceiling squares. It was actually her fifteenth time counting the thirty-four and one-half squares, so then she cast her chocolate eyes to the floor. Her chin rested upon her hand as she started to count the floor tiles.

'1... 2... 3... ugh... how can he even stand talking about the same thing day after day? 'A noun is a person, place, or thing. Now write down as many examples of those things as you possibly can in five minutes.' Who really cares anyway? It's not like our life is going to depend on knowing what a noun is.' She sighed and looked out the window. 'I wonder what the others are doing back in the feudal era... I hope Inuyasha isn't getting too upset. I shouldn't have told him I would be back yesterday.' Kagome lay her head down on the desk and closed her eyes. Just as she was about to slip into a decent sleep...

SLAM!!!

The whole class jumped up at the sound of the teacher slamming his book down on a random student's desk. He scanned the room just the same as hawk scans a field for a poor defenseless mouse. Seeing that everyone was awake and paying attention, he cleared his throat and said,

"I hope you all enjoyed your naps and or studies of the ceiling." He looked around at various students, enjoying the guilty looks they would give as they sank into their seats. "But now I have to announce the winner of the drawing we issued three or four months ago." The classroom was silent. They had no idea what he was talking about. He sighed exasperatedly and explained, "The drawing for the week long vacation to the island resort for two? Honestly, I thought that would be the one thing that you would remember." He leaned his back against the black board and crossed his arms.

Everyone looked at each other trying to remember. Then a slow look of realization crossed over them and everyone started talking. The teacher waited about five seconds before he settled them down.

"Now then, only ONE person will be chosen... so I don't want any of you to get your hopes up. Chances are you won't get it anyway." The class fell completely silent now. Anxiety and suspense had a tight grip on them as they a waited to hear who the winner would be.

The teacher grabbed a white bucket. "In this bucket there are thirty names. Each one of your names is in this bucket one time. Once. You each have one out of thirty chances to get this lovely vacation." He reached into the bucket and dug into the bottom of the bucket. No one moved. They all held their breath as the teacher grabbed the name of the winner and slowly pulled his hand out of the bucket. He looked at the slip of paper and grinned and said slowly, "And the winner of the week long trip to the island resort for two is... KAGOME HIGURASHI!"

The whole class gasped and looked to Kagome who now sat there at her desk speechless. Never in a million years did she think she would actually win the stupid contest. But now that she did, she didn't now how to react. All her friends were congratulating her and begging her to take them with her. Other kids in the room were either wishing they'd won or they were acting snobby and saying they didn't care anyways.

Soon the bell rang and everyone left for home. Kagome went up to the teacher's desk to get the information needed to get to the island resort and what not. After doing so, she bolted out the door to get home and tell her family the news.
