Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, just maybe their out of chararcterness. Maybe. Also, this is meant to be funny and quick, and a break for all of you from my angst-y tendencies. I can be funny... Sometimes. Or at least, probably? D: Also, I reserve the right to name this fic with a super long, not cool, not even slightly (ok, just slightly) related title that may or may not induce some readers to lose their minds ;)))))
By the time she woke up, all Kagome could see was light. Heaven? Was she dead? How did she die?! Frantically, Kagome tried to remember. What had she last been doing? Then, Kagome remembered. She had just been about to get a piece of the smiling omelet. She should never have brought that thing to school! She knew when she first saw it that it's ketchup smile was suspicious. But how could she ever say no to her mother? Suddenly, it felt like the wind was knocked out of her. Her mother! Her poor mother, an accomplice to the omelet murderer! Kagome lay limp against the cold. Her cold, cold grave Kagome bemoaned silently before closing her eyes against the light. This was the end.
It was then that she felt a poke to her side. "Dearie, are you, alright? The Student Body President brought you in, he said you fainted as you ate lunch on the rooftop?"
Disbelieving, Kagome refused to open her eyes. She was hallucinating that she was alive! She refused to be so cruelly hoaxed, even by her own mind. Even more determinedly, Kagome screwed her eyes shut. Again, the hallucination poked her. Slapping away the hand, Kagome curled into herself wondering how long it would take before it was over.
"How rude! You little punk," the hallucination exclaimed. "Humph, you were just trying to get out of class, weren't you?"
It was then that Kagome finally opened her eyes. Then, she became white. "Uh- uh-mm, Nurse Kaede! I'm sorry! I just- I just saw the white light and I thought that I must have died, and that- that I was hallucinating being alive- and- and-"
On the cot, Kagome became redder than the cap on her head.
Eye narrowed, Kaede paused. Was the girl also running a fever? Kaede went to pull out a thermometer. Kagome only sat up and watched her knees. How embarrassing. Already, she could hear Eri and Yuka's teases. With a sigh, Kagome resigned herself to her fate. A little embarrassment had never hurt anybody, she told herself despite the heat in her cheeks.
The rest of Nurse Kaede's examination took only a few more minutes. "There you go," Nurse Kaede said with a pat to Kagome's back. "The Student Body President will walk you to class."
"Ehhh!" Kagome turned to the opposite wall of the office. In one of the plastic chairs sat the Student Body President. Was he there the whole time? If possible, her cheeks brightened even more. Again, she stammered. "What- what- what's he doing here?" Desperately, Kagome searched the nurse's face for answers. The nurse only shrugged.
It was then that the Student Body President stood up and walked towards the cot. "I'm the one who brought you here when you fainted."
Kagome reared back, hitting her head against the wall. Once again, predictably, she fainted.
