--Inferiority Overcome----------------------------------

As Kagome munched on an apple she pondered what to write upon the blank sheet beckoning for her to set down the words, any words, but none would come. Her usually overcome mind was stopped up. Talk about major writers block. Actually she was attempting to procrastinate a paper she was supposed to write by writing a song or a poem or some form of expression. Unfortunately it wasn't working.

She took another bite of the apple and got out her history book. She had to write a report on Feudal Japan which would have been simple for her since she had personally experienced it but the fact was that there wasn't a single mention in the book of demons. They simply didn't exist now, or at least they were hiding very well, so according to the book they had never existed therefore she couldn't write about demon battles or demon exterminators. She could write about Buddhist monks but she didn't think she could without condemning them to all be perverts. She smiled suddenly at the thought of her feudal era friends, but quickly wiped off the smile. She couldn't go back. At least not for a while. Kikyo wouldn't leave them alone, and whenever Kikyo was around Kagome tended to get hurt, it was safest to stay here until Inuyasha came to get her, but even then Kagome wasn't sure if she should go back. After all Kikyo was prettier and more useful then Kagome could ever be. She forced herself to quit it, this inferiority complex was stupid, she was just as good as Kikyo in different ways.

Her mind flicked to Inuyasha. The only main difference between Kikyo and Kagome was that Kikyo had his heart, Kagome was just his shard detector. A slight breeze blew through her cracked window, making Kagome shiver. It was January and the snow had only been falling lightly, a blizzard was supposed to come yesterday but it never did, hopefully the weather person would be right and it would warm up a bit.

Kagome took a deep breath. She had decided what her paper could be about, Seniority in Noble Houses and Blood. Her stomach growled but she ignored it, hey she had already lost a few pounds when she was sick because she barely ate what could a few more hurt? She set the pen to the paper and began to write..."The feudal era in Japan was not nessicarily a peaceful time to live in." Kagome chuckled she knew full and well how true that was. She continued to write brushing off her mom by telling her she wasn't hungry for dinner, even though two seconds later her stomach betrayed her words.

It only took Kagome two hours or so to finish the paper, it had to be at least 5 pages long. She was just starting to nod off when she heard a thump at her window. Reluctantly she got up to open the window knowing who it would be. Of course she saw his darkened silhouette to the side of her window. He was mouthing the words "open up wench". Kagome sighed, typical. She unlatched the window and it swung open.

"You stupid wench where have you been? Its been almost 2 fucking weeks." she started to protest but he cut her off, "Don't give me that excuse that you have another test thing, because I'm not buying it. You are coming back right now."

"No. You can't just barge in here telling me what to do. Its not fair and yes I do have a test and I have to turn this paper in." Inuyasha's eyes quickly darted to the small packet of papers stapled together on her desk."

"So get Souta or whatever to turn it in for you."

"Umm I can't, he doesn't go to my school! Hello!"

"Well I don't care girl you're coming back if I have to drag you kicking and screaming."

"SIT bastard."

"BITCH"

"SHUT UP would you! I'm sorry Inuyasha but I can't come back with you. Not right now. Give me three more days. Please."

Inuyasha studied Kagome from the floor. She really looked desperate, but he really wanted her back. Sure Kikyo would sometimes come around but she wasn't anything compared to Kagome. She couldn't make him smile or even think to smile. It really pained him to argue with Kagome but at the same time it was fun.

"Two" Kagome was surprised usually he just told her she was coming regardless if she pleaded.

"Ok two." At least she would be able to finish out the week, and she didn't have to worry about Hojo anymore. He had moved on, finally. Inuyasha took one last look at Kagome before jumping back out the window and tried to ignore her shivering. She got up after a few seconds and closed the window. He saw her light go off and then went down to the well shrine.

As Kagome slept Inuyasha appeared back in his own time. Sango had stayed up to welcome her friend home although it must be close to the middle of the night. She was surprised to see the dog boy come up alone. She stood up from the side of the small clearing and walked over to Inuyasha.

"Well where is she?"

"She had to finish some test or something. I dunno. But she sat me about 20 times so I decided it wasn't worth it. Besides it doesn't matter, that shard detector can't even protect herself."

Inuyasha felt a sharp smack on his cheeck. He looked up surprised to see Sango walking briskly away. He didn't really mind he expected it actually. He noticed the brisk chill in the air, snow was still on the ground but it was barely an inch, it was warming up at least. Inuyasha bounded off towards Kaede's hut.
