Aiyuki's eyes narrowed, her anger increased when she realized Sango's words were true.

Aiyuki's scowl slowly turned into a smile, "If she wasn't using you, then she would buy her own lunch."

Sango just returned to her desk, she was too shaken to fight with Aiyuki. Her thoughts drifted to Kagome, her own obliviousness had made Kagome suffer. 'Kagome, will you ever be able to forgive me for being so stupid? ' The half starved scholarship student that was supposed to be her best friend was lying sick in the school infirmary because of her! Sango reluctantly opened her history book.

The bed to the far right in the darkest corner of the room was once again occupied by one Kagome Higarashi. Tears were slipping, one by one, onto the pillow. Kagome didn't even bother to pull the blanket up, she knew she would be forced to leave soon. The mid morning light slowly leaked into the room from under the blinds and instinctively Kagome knew it was almost third period. Had the school nurse forgot about her again? The young schoolgirl opened her eyes and stared at the shadow covered wall. She smiled a little, letting her feet touch the ground Kagome got ready to go back to class, she did feel better, slightly.

Her mother was still in Okinawa, and she would be spending the week at Sango's. It was better than being alone. Maybe, if she was feeling particularly brave, she would even answer her mother's phone call, maybe. Standing and letting the light hit her back, Kagome stretched and then walked outside into the hallway. Standing outside the closed door, she looked down at the white tiles, 'Do I really want to do this?' Yes, was her mind's answer. Sango would be worried about her if she didn't show up for lunch. After all that her only friend did for her the last thing Kagome would allow was to have Sango worried.

Ume, a short tomboyish girl from class A-2, passed by Kagome on her way up the stairs.

She stopped at the bottom of the stair well, looking up at Kagome she gave her a cruel smile, "Hope you don't break your foot trying to fly again."

Kagome kept her head down, last year, Kagome had slipped going up the stairs and had broken her ankle, her mother wasn't even in the country. Kagome breathed in hard and started to walk up the stairs again. Sango saw Kagome open up the door and smiled, she was however slightly confused as to why Kagome came back in the middle of math class.

"Kagome," The teacher growled annoyance written on his face, "I thought you would be skipping my class once again. Does your boyfriend like it when you choose him over a possible future?"

Everyone in the beige colored classroom started laughing. Kagome looked out the window. She knew every girl in the class was waiting for her explanation on why she didn't have her textbook. The teachers always choose her to make fun off, always made her the laughing stock of the class. As if her life wasn't bad enough.

"Yah, Kagome, if you don't even have your book with you why did you come to school at all? To afraid your babysitter Sango was gonna call home?" Michiko, one of Aiyuki's groupies called out.

The teacher walked over to her desk, his neck length black hair behind his ears as her crossed his arms over his brown suit covered chest, Kagome looked up into his angry glasses covered eyes, "Pray tell Kagome, where is your textbook?"

A glared made it's way to Kagome's face, "Do you want the truth or something that makes you feel better?"

Her teacher eyes widened in shock that she had the audacity to talk back to him. Kagome gave a small, angry laugh, "The truth is that my mother threw out my textbook because she didn't know what it was and by the time I found out it had already been taken away to the city dump."

"Who would ever believe a lie like that?" Aiyuki asked before she started laughing again.

"Quiet miss Mityunato!" The teacher barked, "Kagome see me after class."

-

The second hand ticked at the twelve on the clock fifteen minutes later, as the bell rang for lunch all of the students went outside so they could enjoy the sun. Kagome was just starting to walk out the door when her teacher called her back. She turned her head around .

"Come here for a moment." He ordered.

Kagome's shoulders dropped but she went to go stand at his desk anyway.

"Yes sir?"

Her teacher frowned, "What gives you a scholarship student of all things , the right to lie to me right after your own responsibility to keep your math book on you is forgotten?"

Kagome's arms shook in rage, "I wasn't lying!" She shouted.

"I wouldn't yell at me if I were you, if it wasn't for the vice principal you would have been expelled in your first month. Do you honestly expect me to believe that your mother threw out your book?"

"No," Kagome replied, "As a matter of fact, I don't expect you to believe me. No one in this school believes anything I say. And I can tolerate a lot of things but being called a liar is not one of them!"

"Get the hell out of my classroom!" The teacher demanded.

Kagome smirked, "With pleasure.", was the only thing she said as she walked over to the door, threw it open and then slammed it shut as hard as she could.

Sango stared at Kagome in awe, Kagome had never yelled at any of the teachers before no matter what they did to her.

Sango wrapped her arm around Kagome, "Do you want to go to my home Kagome? My mom won't be too upset if we skip the rest of the day."

Kagome nodded, she didn't think she could be in the building another minute without trying to kill the next person who insulted her.

Sango slowly picked Kagome up and placed her on her back. Kagome threw her arms around Sango's neck.

Sango carried Kagome out of the school, "When we get home I'll come back here and pick up our stuff. You should take a nap, okay? Just make yourself comfy, I'll be back in about twenty minutes."

"Okay.", Kagome answered.
