DISCLAIMER: I Do Not Own Inuyasha

Ok, so here's chapter 2, I wrote this story many years ago, except it wasn't originally an Inuyasha story, but I found it and decided to turn it into one. I never got to finish it, so I'm just going to write it as I go. I do have some ideas for future chapters, I just don't know when they'll happen. So I'm going to try to make this a pretty long story because personally, I don't really like short stories, not saying there's anything wrong with them, I just like to read ones with lots of long chapters. Well, I think I've rambled enough. Enjoy this chapter! :]

The next day I got up very quietly so I wouldn't disturb my mother if she was sleeping. I snuck to my door and cracked it open just a little bit and stuck my head out. I looked down the hall to my mother's room. Her door was wide open and I could see her sleeping on her bed. I quickly went back and got dressed for school. My head wound was a little noticeable, so I grabbed a little blue bow and clipped it in my hair over the wound to hide it. I grabbed a long sleeved blue sweater to match the bow, a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, and my black pair of converses, grabbed my bag and walked out of my room. I walked to the kitchen and grabbed a pop tart and walked out the front door.

It was a beautiful morning! The sky was so blue and the clouds were like big, white, fluffy cotton balls. The birds were chirping and there was a light warm breeze that gently rustled the leaves on the trees. Hopefully today was going to be a good day.

I was a few blocks from home when I noticed a figure standing against the stop sign at the end of the block I was on. When was closer, I noticed the figure was Hojo! I was so shocked to see him there. Was he waiting for me? He looked and at me and had a huge smile on his face.

"Well, good morning Kagome!" he said.

"Morning Hojo." I replied and walked up to him.

"I figured I should wait for you this morning so we can walk together like we did yesterday."

"Thanks! That's very kind of you!" I said a little bashful. I can't believe this happening! Hojo actually wants to spend time with me.

"So, how is your mom feeling?" Hojo asked.

"Huh?" I asked, confused as to what he was talking about.

"You said she just had surgery, and you've been taking care of her."

"Oh. Uh, she's starting to feel better. She still needs some help with some things, but other than that, she's fine." I totally forgot I told him that. I hope he doesn't think I was lying to him!

"That's good. I'm glad she's feeling better. She's lucky to have a daughter like you to take care of her."

Psh! Oh she's lucky to have a daughter like me, but she doesn't deserve me, and I don't deserve her either. "Oh well thanks Hojo! You're really too kind." I said and blushed a little. He is really the greatest and kindest guy.

We arrived to school and said our goodbyes. I walked inside the school and went straight to my locker. I unlocked it and opened the door to my locker and grabbed some books I needed.

"Hey Kagome!" I heard a shrill voice yell. It startled me and I jumped. I turned to see a very cheerful Sango staring at me with her hands behind her back.

"Jeez Sango. You scared me." I said slightly annoyed.

"Oh! I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to." Sango said with an apologetic expression on her face.

"It's alright. I forgive you." I smiled at her at giggled. "Uh, do you need something?"

"I just wanted to say hello." She looked at me and then narrowed her eyes. "I see you're not wearing any makeup. Mind if I do it again? Oh please! It would mean a lot to me!" she said.

"Well…..I don't know. I kinda want to get to class on time this morning." I said hesitantly. She cupped her hands together and held them under her chin and she made a puppy dog face with her bottom lip jutted out and even her eyes began to twinkle. I just couldn't say no to the adorable, annoying face. "Oh, alright!" I said.

"YAY! I promise I won't take long!" she said excitedly. She grabbed my hand and pulled me into the bathroom. I stood by a sink as she rummaged through her bag and got out the things she needed and let her do her magic on my face.

After she was finished. I looked at myself in the mirror. She did pretty much the same thing as yesterday, except she used a whitish-blue eye shadow. I smiled at my reflection.

"Do you like it?" Sango asked.

"Of course I do! You did a great job!" smiled at her. "Thank you Sango."

"Well, I do aim to please. You're welcome Kagome."

We smiled at each other and then silence fell upon us.

Sango finally broke the silence and asked "Hey. How 'bout you join me and my friends for lunch today?"

"Uh…. I really don't think I shou-"

"Oh please Kagome! I would love if you did! I really think it would be fun!" she interrupted. She made that pouting puppy dog face again.

"Um…." I shook my head and sighed. " I guess it wouldn't do any.. harm."

She started jumping up and down clapping her hands and began to squeal.

It was five minutes til the bell, so we walked out of the bathroom and went to class.

When we got to class, I went straight to my desk, sat down, and dropped my head onto it. What have I gotten myself into? Damn you Sango and that stupid face. I'm really too nice sometimes. But maybe it really won't be that bad! I mean, I really do want friends, but I'm just so used to being a loner, it's just really hard for me, especially with my complicated and terrible home life. I looked over and Sango. She looked back and waved at me. I smiled back at her and sat up and waited for Mr. Myoga to start class. I really hope today is going to be a good day.

Well that's chapter two. Sorry for the wait. I'm working on the lunch scene now. Hope you all liked. Remember to review! :D
