Chapter 2: Pleasant Surprise

Kagome fumbled her pencil in her hand. The teacher was in the middle of a speech about the summer. Yak Yak Yak and Bla Bla Bla... This stuff gets so old after hearing it year after year. Kagome sighed and closed her eyes. Summer was here and she was ready to get the hell out of here. The students were already in an up roar and her freinds were planning parties. She was no exception. InuYasha floated through her head. She sighed once again. She hated to be away from him.

"Hey, pssstt. Kagome!" Yumi whispered and tapped her shoulder. Kagome slightly turned her head to her freind.They had known each other since third grade and had become fast friends but they had drifted apart. Here they are now, in school and hardly talked. They still talked, just not as much.

"I'm having a party next weekend. Wanna come? You can bring InuYasha and make Houjo jealous." Yumi snickered. Kagome frowned at her. Yumi was always one to start shit and the other two were no different from her. Kagome tried to smile and answer her but she just couldn't bring one to her face. not even a fake one.

"I'll ask Inu-kun if he wants to come with me. He really doesn't like to get out much. And is Houjo really coming? I don't think it's right to gloat about already having a boyfreind after he made so many dates and I never made one. I feel bad." Kagome faced Yumi. The teacher was done and class had ended.

"Gloat? That's not gloating. you found someone better and you should be proud of yourself. I think it's a great idea to show him off." Yumi smiled and the other two, Eri and Rinu, giggled. "She's right, Kagome. Youv'e got someone." Eri said and twirled a curl with her finger nail. "Besides it'll be fun." Rinu seemed to be the optimist of the group. Kagome stood from her desk and gathered her things.

"I'll speak with InuYasha and I'll call you tomorrow." Kagome heaved her bag over her shoulder and fled from the room. She was sick of those clones and their gossip. It was all they ever did and Kagome seemed to get caught in the middle of the scandel. Kagome hurreid through the hall and to the front of the school. Her mom's car was not here yet.

Kagome threw her bag to the ground and sat on it. Her head i her hands she felt the whole world on her shoulders. "Hey, brighten up Kago-chan."

That voice was so familiar. Kagome looked up from her hands. There she stood. Her pony tail blowing in the wind. The sun shining through her kimono. Her brown eyes shining. She sat next to her on grass. Kagome stared in disbelief. Was it...is it really her?

"What's up, Kagome? I haven't seen you in a few days so I came to check up on you." Kagome continued to stare at her. Relief washed over her and she embraced her old freind. "Sango-chan! I missed you so much!" kagome held her tight. Sango hugged her back with equal force.

"I just had to see if you were okay." Sango sniffled.

"I'm fine but how in the hell did you get here?" Kagome loosened her embrace and watched Sango's eyes.

"I used the Jewel." Sango laughed as if it were obvious.

"Really? Oh, yeah. We didn't use it." Kagome smiled. Yes, The feeling of happiness returned.

"Yes, but I have to go. Miroku is waiting for me and were going to get married." Sango's smile widened.

"I'm so happy for you!" Kagome's eyes began to water.

The two hugged one more time before Sango left her. She will come back again.

Then a horn honked from the road beside the school. "Kagome!" Souta called form the car. Kagome ran to the car and the family was on their way back to their home. and Kagome felt happy. Like she hadn't in a very long time.
