I'm happy to say that I was motivated enough to write the second chapter of Crystal and Ice.

Please enjoy.

Kagome sat on her bed, daydreaming about yesterday. Seto (he let her call him that) had shown her around the school, and even ate lunch with her. She was happy to know more about him, and get to hang out with him more. A frown replaced her smile, though, when she thought about Inuyahsa. He had made her mad, but now she had cooled off. In her head this was a little like betrayal.

Sure, Inuyasha made her mad alot, but he still showed he cared. Kagome began to get a headache from debating the pros and cons of Inuyasha. Maybe they should start seeing other people. Her mood grew sour as she thought of Kikyo. Kikyo seemed to be the only thing Inuyasha thought about, and it really ticked her off that he couldn't choose between her or Kikyo.

Kagome could understand that this was hard for him, but what about her. She did not want to be caught up in this love triangle, if that was what she should call it. She sat up and shook her head, I'll ask mom. Kagome got off her bed and headed downstairs to where her mother was cooking in the kitchen. "Hey mom," Kagome called to get her attention, "can I ask you about something?"

Her mother didn't turn around, "Of coarse dear. Ask away." Kagome sighed, and thought about how to ask. Her mother beat her to it though, "Is it boy trouble?"

Kagome stared at her open mouthed, "How did you know?"

Her mother laughed lightly, "You just had that look on your face when you walked in. Now the real question is what kind of boy trouble are you having?"

Kagome groaned and plopped down in a chair, thankful that her grandfather and brother were out at the moment. She told her mother about Seto and how they had met, and then how he had been so nice to her. Her mother turned the stove off and sat across from her daughter, "I thought you liked Inuyasha."

Kagome put her head in her hands, "That's the problem, I do like Inuyasha, but he's just so. . . so, I don't even know what he is! But he isn't the nicest of people, and I know he cares about me in his own way, but there is this other girl that he still likes."

Kagome's mother put a hand to her chin and hummed in thought, "Well that does sound like a problem. How much do you know about this new boy?" Kagome gathered all known information in her head and realized it wasn't that much, "I guess I barely know anything about him compared to Inuyasha."

Her mom put her hands onto her daughter's, "If you really like this guy then wait and see when you know more about him, and if you still like him then it's up to you." She stood back up and went back to the stove, "Dinner should be ready soon, why don't you wash up." Kagome got up too, "Okay mom. Thanks."

LINE BREAK

Kagome put her the eraser of her pencil in her mouth as she thought about a complicated math question. She groaned and threw the pencil at her books in frustration. She twirled in her chair for a moment before stopping and rolling over to the window. She stared at the stars twinkling in the sky, lost in thought. Suddenly a face appeared in front of her window. Kagome screamed and fell backwards onto the floor. She looked back at the window and saw Inuyasha staring at her through the glass.

Kagome glared at him, but opened the window to let him in. As soon as he was sitting on the bed she yelled, "Who do you think you are, sitting outside people's windows like some stalker?!" Inuyasha raised his hands in defence, "Well you should keep your window open." Kagome smacked her forehead with the palm of her hand, "I keep that window closed so that people like you can't just come into my room whenever you feel like it." Inuyasha only shrugged.

"I came to get you. You've been gone to long and we are losing valuable shard hunting time." Kagome shook her head, "I need to stay here for at least another week so that I can make up on my work. I'm falling behind and if I don't catch up I will fail this school year." Inuyasha looked at her, "Finding the jewel shards is more important than school. Why do I always have to remind you? We need you to sense the jewel shards."

Kagome glared at him, "So I'm only a tool that you can order around whenever you feel like. Well here's a hard slap of reality Inuyasha, I am a living person with my own free will. I have a right to do whatever I want to do, and I'll come back to the feudal era when and if I want to." She crossed her arms with a 'humph.'

Inuyasha stared at her, surprised. They had had this argument many times before, but it seemed this time Kagome might have gotten through Inuyasha's thick skull. "School is still dumb." Kagome felt like steam was coming out of her ears.

"SIT."

Inuyasha became acquainted with her bedroom floor. "Now shut up and let me finish my homework." After that he sat on her bed and stayed so quiet that Kagome suspected that he had fallen asleep again. She looked at him from over her shoulder and sure enough Inuyasha had fallen asleep. He was sitting up with his head slouched down and his ears tilted down too. Kagome smiled at him and her heart felt more torn than ever.

"What am I going to do?"

So there is chapter two. I will have a chapter three so don't freak out or something.

Bye!
