The sun shone down through a small window as morning crept up upon them. It just turned six thirty when a shrill beep began to go off uncontrolably, coming from a little clock. A vengeful hand slapped down on top of the device, effectively shutting it up. Blue eyes peeped up over a pink comforter and a pitiful groan was heard as the beging flopped out of the bed.

"Kagome, get your ass up! If you're late I swear that I will skin you alive and then fry it to make Kagome Rinds! By the way, good morning." Said the feminine voice as the aforementioned girl checked her new message. Rolling her eyes Kagome threw her cell phone at the wall above her bed in agrivation. She winced noticibly when she heard a crack, looked like she was going to use the money she was getting to buy herself a new phone....again.

She stumbled her sleepy body into the bathroom that connected to her bedroom. Turning on the water to the exact temperature that she liked she removed her shorts and shirt and stepped under the hot liquid. After a long and relaxing soak she reluctantly stepped out into the now fogged up bathroom, proceeding to dry her long black hair. Once that task was done she turned the fan on to get rid of the remaining steam and stepped back into her bedroom, pulling on a baby blue strapless dress that came to just above her knees. She knew that the other girls were probably going to be wearing the traditional kimono, but Kagome never really was one to blend in with the crowd.

Just then her annoying alarm clock was once more in her line of vision and her eyes bugged out of her head. It was nearly 7:45! It seemed that she had taken a longer shower than she had originally thought. Kagome ran down the stairs, nearly falling on her face in the process, heading for the front door. Once there, without even stopping she grabbed her silver flats and hit the door with her shoulder. The broken door swung open automatically and closed as she ran over the grass and to the steps, putting her shoes on at the same time. She sat on the newly installed rail and quickly slid down to the bottom where her old yellow car sat on the side of the empty street. She got in and frantically tried to start it, but it refused.

"Oh come on! You can start when I have a dentist appointment, but not for this?!" She screamed at the hunk of junk and slammed her head on the steering wheel. Kagome was quite fit, but there was no way that she would be able to run all the way to where she needed to go and get there on time. Just then an idea struck her and she opened her door, got out, and then slammed it shut with a little extra power just to be spiteful. Running up the stairs she saw her old pink bike sitting by the tall bushes that were at the top. It was old and a little rusted from being exposed to the weather for so many years, but it would get her where she needed to go.

"Alright, come on now. Don't fail me too!" She said and slung one leg over the contraption and began pedaling, doing a few circles first to find her balance before attempting to go down the large flight of stairs. She prayed to every god she could think of to please keep her from snapping her neck, and luckily they heard and the only thing she felt was the bumps of each step as she made her way closer to flat ground. Taking a sharp right turn she began peddling up the sidewalk towards the busier part of the city. As she got closer and closer to her destination she noticed that the traffic was getting really heavy the further she went. Just as she was passing a coffee shop the bike's front tire stopped and she nearly flew over the handlebars. She looked back and noticed that her dress had got caught up in the chain. She let out an overdramatic sob and backed up a bit to try and loosen it up a bit, but that didn't work in the slightest. If anything it helped to tangle the dress in more.

Scowling she took a hold of the dress with both hand and tore it. After the part that was in the bike was seperated from the whole that wasn't she pulled up briskly and watched as the long piece of fabric came out no problem. Not seeing anywhere to dispose of the tattered thing she settled to tie it around her left wrist, who knows, maybe it could be repaired? Kagome doubted it, but it did look sort of cute on her petite wrist. Once again she rode on at top speed towards her destinaton, her butt off the seat as she tried going faster and faster, nearly missing each person that was walking down that particularly busy street.

Finally she arrived and slung the trecherous bike into the black bike rack that was pressed up against the building. Running up the concrete steps she looked at the clock hanging above the entrance, 7:59. Kagome cut it close, but she was there! Running inside she saw a group of near-adults standing in a long line down the dark hallway. At the back of the pack she saw a distressed looking brunette with a black robe and cap in her hands.

"Thanks!" She whispered quickly and grabbed the robe and cap and then ran to the open doors to take her place next to a boy without a partner by his side. She slipped the robe over her shoulders and placed the cap lopsided over her head, blowing the tassle out of her face. The boy quickly locked his arm with hers, disabling her to button up the robe, and they walked into the brightly lit gym. They followed the two in front of them and took seats in the metal fold chairs next to each other. He glared daggers at her and all she could do was give him an apologetic smile, seeing as the man at a podium on a stage in front of them began to give out a long speech. Just then someone behind her kicked her chair and Kagome looked back about to scowl angrily at the person, but then she noticed it was her brunette friend, with a rather frazzled look on her face.

Nearly fourty-five minutes later Kagome got to stand up on her sleepy legs. She followed the boy and then stoped when she was at the top of the stairs leading up to the stage. Kagome waited for her name to be called out.

"Kagome Higurashi." Said the booming voice of the principle as he looked at her, with a slight hint of malice. He never was her biggest fan. She walked up proudly and shook his hand curly before grabbing the roll of paper from his pudgy hands. She then went through a line of school officials and shook their hands also before walking down the stairs on the opposite side of the stage and taking her place once again next to the boy. Kagome looked over and saw that his golden eyes were lit up brightly and he was smiling big, showing off his little fangs.

Finally the nearly six hundred group strong group of teenagers were once again sitting down as the principle gave his last good wishes to them. As soon as he turned around they all stood up and threw their caps into the air laughing and cheering. The silver haired boy next to her grabbed her and threw her in the air so that she was now sitting on his right shoulder while he held her up with both of his hands. She giggled in delight and grabbed both of their caps as they came flying down from the air.

"We graduated!! Whoo!!" She yelled, though she was barely heard what with all the commotion going on inside the crowded gym.

"Come on you guys, let's get out of here!" Said the brunette holding onto the arm of the guy she was standing next to while going down the graduation isle, as she walked and mazed her way through the people to the exit.

"Hurry up Sango, push some people if you have to!" Inuyasha said to her, he wasn't ever much for patience. Sango just rolled her eyes, but did shove a few particularly slow people out of her way.

They made it outside and proceeded to walk around the building until they saw the back courtyard that had white picnic tables and white balloons floating around on their strings everywhere.

"Wow, it looks beautiful out here Miroku, doesn't it?" Sango asked the man she was holding onto and he just looked down into her eyes and smiled.

"Not as beautiful as you my love."

"Oh get a room you two! We're here to party and get free food, not to be part of a love fest!" Kagome said, still atop Inuyasha's shoulder. The hanyou beneth her let out a laugh and they left the couple to go scout for some food.

"Frick, why the hell do they have these things so early now? I didn't even have time for breakfast this morning." Kagome complained when Inuyasha put her down so she could fill up her plate at the large buffet.

"Let me guess, you took you sweet time in the shower didn't you? And then your hellish car wouldn't start and you had to run here? Just assuming." He said smirking as they walked over to an empty table.

"If you must know," she said as she took off her robe revealing her ripped dress and cloth bracelet "I took my bike here." She finished avoiding eye contact.

He just laughed at her. "Kagome I swear, you havn't grown up one bit since Freshman year." She shot him a glare and sat down to start chowing down.

"Correction, I havn't grown up a bit maturity wise since eighth grade thank you very much." She ended with a giggle. "Hey Inu, your older bro's coming over." She said and pointed over his shoulder. He looked where her finger pointed and sure enough he saw his elder brother approaching their table.

"Congratulations to you both. I assume you have some means to get home?" Said brother asked his younger sibling. His voice was cold and emotionless as ever

"Unless I want to ride on Kag's handlebars, then no." He said smirking, he loved screwing with his brother. "Why, you heading out already?"

"Yes, I have work this morning. Have fun getting home." He said, teasing his half brother a little before striding off proudly towards the parking lot adjacent to the courtyard.

"What an ass, he didn't even ask if I wanted a ride home!" Inuyasha seethed as he bit down on his burger aggressivly, causing a small droplet to land on the end of Kagome's nose.

"Oh don't overreact, I bet he saw your car and was just making sure you knew he was leaving." She said and stuck her tounge out and touching her nose, effectivly disposing of the mustard.

"You're so weird Kag," He said laughing at his lifelong plutonic friend "but I guess you're probably right. Damn you and your rightness"

"Whatever Inu." She said laughing and then swallowed the last bit of her chocolate chip cookie and walking over to him. "Well I'm going to go scout out my family and then head out." She said and gave him a small hug.

"Alright, you'll be over for the party tonight, right?" He asked, referring to the party at his house to celebrate their graduation. He got a smile.

"For sure! Later." She said and began walking around, searching for her family. Just as she spotted her mother, grandfather and little brother she was nabbed from behind. She looked over her shoulder and saw a scowling Sango.

"You are so lucky you got there in time! I was about to go fire up the frier." She said smirking. Kagome laughed and gave her a giant hug.

"Yeah, yeah, well I had quite the morning. I mean, not that your heartwarming message didn't inspire me to have a great day." She said giving her best friend a wink.

"Well I knew that you wouldn't get up and go unless I did something!" Sango said defensivly "Besides, it worked didn't it? Anyways I've got to go, my family's having a little party for me at the house. I'll see you tonight at Inuyasha's!" She said and bounded off. Kagome smiled and walked over to her family.

As soon as her mother saw her she was wrapped in a big hug and given all kinds of congratulations from her family. Kagome told them of her morning and they all laughed and got up, ready to leave. Kagome walked up with them to the car and was about to follow into the backseat when her mother spoke up.

"Where are you going? I do believe you have a bike to get home." She said teasing, but absolutly serious. She stood in front of the hood of the car, scowling as she watched them drive off.

"Great, I love graduation day already!" She grumbled as she stalked over to her monstorous bike.

Sesshomaru smirked. Today was already looking out to be a very very good day indeed. First he got to skip the first part of work to see the half-breed's graduation and then he got to see his blue eyed beauty. That's right, he got to see his Kagome.

He had thought she was beautiful the first time Inuyasha had brought her to their house nearly five years ago, and that had eventually grown into something more. Not love persay, but more like adoration. And longing for her, and watching her from afar. Alright, perhaps he was in love with this mere human girl.

Now that his half brother was off to college in a different city, far away thankfully, he could finally get the chance he had been looking for. She would be open game, and he was after her and only her. And by god, he would have her if it took everything he had!

Tonight was the graduation party for his brother, that he had suggested earlier that month. There he would get to see his love, and in only a few months he would be able to woo her and have her all to himself. As his wife, lover, and mate.
