Grandpa;

How are you today? It's been a couple of months since you've been gone and I have been taking this very hard.

I think that your sudden death hurt me more than anything else had before.

When had I let this get too out of hand grandpa? I know I am heading down a dark path without a sense of regaining control.

I am lost, forever walking on the path that could endanger my life and land me in a hospital.

No, I am neither a maniac nor a drug addict and I think it would be better to say that than to say what I am really dealing with: Depression & eating disorder.

Just the thought of it makes me want to yell and taunt myself into stopping but I can't.

Why? You may be asking and I say to myself; I crave it.

I tend to do it without thinking. I guess mom and dad's divorce is how it started but in a way it didn't.

Sure I was sad but that was not the underlying course of my unhappiness. If they really did trigger my depression, I would have flunked my sophomore year in high school (or so I believe of course)

I think it was the other thing. The reason I got to the state I am in.

When you were hospitalized for that week and a half, it really did shake me because you were hopeless and I was amidst it all.

After you passed away I lost who I am.

Months have passed since then and I find it funny how nobody has noticed yet.

The symptoms are still there, if you look really hard for them you'll find them. I suppose it's because I put up a facade.

I'm struggling. Depression controls my life but I find it comforting that I have not yet thought about hurting myself.

I want you to know that suicide is something that has NEVER crossed my mind. I'm not going to join you anytime soon, trust me.

What does cross my mind is eating habits.

Often I tell myself I want to be healthy and I try eating healthy but then I cave in to some type of junk food and days later I still feel bad and horrible.

Sometimes I think about starving just to lose weight but of course remembering what you always said to me makes me never bring myself to starve. That habit died when you passed away.

It's still a long journey but I'm slowly overcoming it. You have been my inspiration to get better and bring myself back on a healthy lifestyle.

Don't worry about Souta. He is doing alright, I mean sure he's devasted too but he's a strong willed kid and I'm sure he'll be fine.

We start school later on today. Souta entered the sixth grade and I can't believe that at the end of this year I graduate high school.

I'll keep you in touch later because for now I have to go to sleep if I want to be awake in time for school.

Let's hope that today I actually get some sleep. I haven't had a good night's sleep in days.

Good night grandpa, I love you.

Kagome

Inuyasha woke up startled.

It seemed that the link to his new charge was already starting to form. In his dreams he had witnessed something she had been doing earlier in the evening.

Turns out that she is a journal keeper. He'd have to take a look at that later (if he remembered at some point.)

He shook his head and rubbing his eyes he took his wand from where he always hid it which was underneath the pillow in case of an emergency.

He waved it at the clock he had placed in the nightstand. "What time is it?" he asked it for he had been too lazy to set it up to the human's way of it working.

The numbers 3:20 am glowed in front of him and he waved them off with the wand.

In his opinion it was still too early and he would begin his investigation on her tomorrow.

Back to sleep it was.

School.

He hadn't been in one of these establishments in centuries.

He sighed as he finished straightening up the gray jacket and opened the door to head inside.

This was it.

Here he'd be known as Lysander Taisho and until he removes the concealment bracelet, all traces of him being a demon/fairy will be gone.

He tried his best to smile as he walked through the corridors but being the way he always is, a scowl always found its way back.

How Sango managed to make all his classes be with Kagome he had no clue but he wasn't going to think about it for now.

The important thing is for him not winding up lost in the school.

What had happened to Sango? She only came to wake him up and ensure that he had something to eat and school supplies. After that she disappeared and said a car would take him to and from school each morning. She also had said a quick "I'll see you sooner than you think"

So here he was, walking on and on without a single clue of where to go and the thoughts were going to drive him insane.

He looked into his bag searching for his schedule but when he couldn't find it he just snapped his fingers and made it come into his hand from where ever it had been.

No one had seen him do it and all he seemed was really lost because a teen boy walked up to him and tapped him in the shoulders.

"Excuse me but are you new here? You look quite lost."

Inuyasha stopped and glanced at him.

He looked a little familiar to him but that wasn't important. What was a priority was trying to remember what a normal lost human would say at a time like this.

"Uh yeah I'm new here. I'm pretty sure the bell is going to ring any second and I'm here like an idiot trying to find my way." He said all too quickly.

The teen took the schedule away from him and began to look through it "You've got like twenty minutes don't worry you'll be fine Inuyasha." he handed it back to him. "Or should I call you Lysander now?"

Inuyasha gaped as he wondered who this guy could be. He called him by his real name! Inuyasha was wearing the concealment bracelet. Only people with strong magical powers would be able to notice.

Inuyasha watched as a girl passed by and the guy openly began to flirt with her. He face palmed himself and groaned for he should have realized who it was sooner.

He still looked and acted the same as always.

"What are you doing here Miroku?"

"What does it look like? I'm going to school duh and wow I can't believe it took you over five minutes to recognize me."

"Can you blame me? I hadn't seen you in a couple of years"

"Whose fault is that? Now come on we have to go to homeroom before we wind up dead."

"Why would we wind up dead?"

"With our teacher you don't ever know what to expect."

"Our teacher? As in we're going to take classes together?"

"Yes. It seems we have the same schedule, give or take a few classes. Isn't it wonderful Inuyasha?"

"I'm stuck with you for the rest of the school year so no."

"Oh don't think about it like that Inuyasha. It's going to be like the good old days."

"That's what I fear." he said as they walked into the classroom but stayed by the door "Wow. Is it time for class to begin already?" He said as the noted that the classroom was already full of students.

Miroku looked at the watch he had in his wrist. "Nope. There's still ten minutes left but like I told you we have a very demanding teacher." He said "Alright let's go find a seat I think there's some..." but Inuyasha was not paying attention to him. All his focus was on Kagome who was writing in her notebook.

"Miroku what are you and Lysander doing standing in the doorway? Shouldn't you be in your seats already?" Sango said as she walked into the classroom. "Well I'm glad to see most of you are actually here on time for your first day. Miroku, Lysander can you find seats already? I'm sure there are still some available."

"What is she doing here?" Inuyasha whispered to Miroku.

"Did I forget to mention that our teacher was Sango? Surprise!"

"Miroku and Lysander! Leave your talking for lunch and find some seats already. Lysander you can sit behind Kagome and Miroku you could sit in the seat across from them. Higurashi raise your hand."

Kagome raised her hand and Inuyasha walked to the aisle with a smirk.

At least Sango wasn't completely out to get him.

Inuyasha watched as Kagome closed her notebook and placed it in her book bag then took out a binder and got ready to write.

"Alright class since today is the first day of school I'm going to go easy on you. I'll give you the syllabus of things you should expect in all the classes we will have together, I'll also pass a sheet of paper and I'll give you fifteen minutes so you can write down things about you and afterwards we'll share and hopefully get to know each other..."

Inuyasha put his head in the desk and tried to zone out.

Why the hell did Sango not tell me she was going to be my teacher?

He saw a sentence appear in his notebook and he looked up curiously.

Put your head up and pay attention dude. If Sango finds you asleep or zoning out you'll be in trouble. Don't expect that just because we're all friends she'll treat you better.

He knew he could still use his powers as he wished but with Sango looking over him as he knew she would be, he didn't dare. He looked back at the notebook and saw that Miroku had written another thing.

As long as we don't get caught I'm sure we'll be fine.

Inuyasha grinned and wrote a quick reply and with a flick of his fingers sent it over to Miroku's notebook. He leaned back in his seat and glanced over to Kagome whose turn it was to pick a partner out of a bag of guy's names from the class.

She opened the little slip of paper and read it aloud "My partner is...Lysander Taisho."

Inuyasha crossed his arms and smirked. Maybe school was not going to be that much of a boring thing after all.
