Kagome woke to the sound of her bedroom window scraping open. Too tired to move she mumbled incoherently at the approaching figure that she was certain to be Inuyasha. She felt strong hands press against her shoulders in an un- Inuyasha like fashion.
"Kagome?" Instantly Kagome recognized the voice, resisting her drowsiness she shot up in bed shaking of the hands that still laid on her shoulders.
"Kai what the hell are you doing here?" she asked grogily, checking the clock on her desk, "At 5 am no less?"
"I want coffee." he stated bluntly, Kagome stared at her friend dumbstruck.
"What?"
"Coffee. You know with caffine. Come on. Get up." he said yanking the covers off his bedraggled friend.
"ACK! COLD!" Kagome grabbed the covers and yanked them back up. "It's 5 am Kai, go away, we can get coffee later. And besides since when do you get out of bed for anything even coffee?" Kai shrugged and yanked the covers off Kagome and her bed completely before strolling to her closet. Kagome put her feet over the side of the bed, standing akwardly not sure she remembered how to walk this early in the morning. As soon as she gained her balance she felt a pair of jeans smack her face and a shirt. "What the hell are you doing? You storm into my room at 5 am demanding coffee then pick out my clothes without any explanation as to why the hell you are here besides wanting coffee. I'm not doing anything until you tell me. Still holding the clothes in her arms she plopped back onto the bed and pulled her legs so she was sitting indian style on her matress. Kai looked at her sternly and sat down at the spinning chair across from her.
"What have you eaten in the past week?" Kagome stared at him, desperatly wanting at least an hour more of sleep.
"What?" she asked incredulously. Kai rolled his eyes.
"Girl don't play dumb you heard me. What have you eaten in the past week? And put those clothes on I was serious about coffee." Kagome groaned.
"I've eaten Kai." He raised his eyebrows in a look that asked how much. "Enough. Just yesterday I had," Kagome paused realizing she hadn't eaten yesterday or the day before, "a sandwich for dinner and i wasn't feeling good at lunch, and I had cereal for breakfast. What does it matter?" Kai looked at her warily. It was true that she hadn't looked well during lunch, It was probably all this stress being built up on her. He was just scared, he didn't want another relapse for his friend.
"Kagome," he looked pained, not sure wether to believe her, she held his gaze knowing if she looked away she would never get off his scrutiny. "just don't hurt yourself." Kagome snorted inside. She nodded to her friend a silent bond saying she would remember the consequences. A part of her was relieved that she was going to be in the Feudal Era for the next 3 weeks during break. She got up and pulled of her pajama pants and hoodie revealing a green bra and black underwear. Kai noticed the ribs that had always been slightly defined on his friend, he remembered how they got there. Kagome pulled the jeans over her legs and buttoned them securely. Yanking the tanktop from her bed she pulled it on hastily noticing Kai's scrutiny of her waist size.
"Out of curiosity why am I wearing this?" Kagome asked wondering why her normal uniform of blue skirt with green trim was missing. As was Kai's uniform of black pants with a blue dress shirt. Guile flashed in his eyes as he answered.
"I haven't decided if we will be attending school today." Kagome laughed, Kai wasn't known to enjoy school. He beckoned out the window and Kagome nodded, holding up a finger to signal him to wait a moment while she wrote a note to her mother. Nimbly Kagome climbed out the window with her friend in front of her, rushing down the steps as fast as she could, enjoying the adreniline rushing through her veins. The morning groginess was swept away with the refreshing taste of brisk air filling her lungs. Kai laughed as they both ran down the road, catching their breath only as they found themselves at a cross roads.
It was interesting to see the world so deserted at 5:45 in the morning. A few cars stripped past the two friends, making it fairly easy for them to cross the normally busy roads into town. They walked for a while before coming to a small coffee shop, tucked between a used book store and a thrift shop. It was one of the few shops without a big STARBUCKS logo across the top to be found in Tokyo, and one of the few that were open at 6 am, which was probably how it managed to stay in business, offering coffee to those early birds and students avoiding early morning coffee rush. Kagome laughed out of pure mirth as she rushed breathless to the door of the shop, nearly hitting the door in her efforts to beat Kai. He came behind her slamming her into the door completely. Frey, the tall handsome college owner of the shop opened the door allowing his two best costumers to fall into his shop still laughing. It was an interesting site to behold.
"What are you two doing?" he chuckled, his shaggy sandy brown hair falling forward into his eyes as he looked down at the two.
"Haahaa, we have our last final today and I wanted coffee." Kai beamed at his friend, extending his hand. Frey grasped it and pulled him up, then bent down and scooped Kagome up bridal style. Frey looked at Kai and winked, Kagome not noticing this exchange only laughed.
"What in the world should we do with this lump Kai? It keeps blocking the entrance to my shop and is scaring customers." Frey said with a mockingly sarcastic air.
"I think we should dump some coffee on it." Frey shook his head. "You're right, that's too cruel, how about you just drop it."
"Sounds good to me." Frey walked over to some beanbags that lined the walls and dropped Kagome who was now screaming to be let down this instant, Frey gladly obliged. Kagome got up quickly and confronted the two.
"You are evil I say, Evil, first I arrive out of breath then you dump me on the ground? Cruel."
"Yep thats us," Frey replied, he hesitated, at a seconds indecision he leaned forward and kissed her square on the lips. Kagome looked at him for a moment before retaliating.
"How dare you! Butt head." she was used to him doing things like this but he had never been so forward. Turning away she walked behind the counter and poured herself a cup of coffee, while Frey stood quietly looking surprised at his own actions, Kai just looked dumbly on the scene.
"Well how dare you. Just serving yourself coffee. This is my shop," came the quick retort of the disgruntled college student.
"Oh whatever. It's not like we don't do this everyday." Kagome replied, still not sure wether she should play everything cool and act like the quick kiss had not just disturbed her veins, or like it had, she decided on the former. Kai's laughter broke the silence that surrounded the trio with a laugh.
"You two are so cute. I don't see why you don't just get back together." At his remark Kagome blushed deeply, Frey turning the same shade. It was true that they had gone out, but Kagome was too secretive around him and he didn't like that she kept secrets from him, She was beautiful, and although 7 years younger, she being only a freshmen in highschool, she was still more mature then many girls he knew, probably because of how much she had been through. It was the upset of the century for all their friends when they broke up.
"Ok geeze it was only a suggestion. You don't have to be all quiet now." turning his head from his still cherry red Kagome to Frey he said, "Hey dude I hate to run but we have that final to catch. See you." Going behind the counter and dragging Kagome behind him he waved and left.
"Yea bye."
Once they were a block away from the shop Kai turned around. "What the hell was that about?"
"I dunno." she sighed.
"You like Inuyasha though right?"
"Well look who was telling us we looked cute together." kagome toned accusingly. "And I do. I'm just not sure right now. Frey was my best friend for a long time plus more. Excluding you of course. I am just not sure. I though I liked him and that kiss was... fun. But I'm not sure." she looked at Kai stirring her coffee with her finger. Kai shrugged his shoulders.
"If you decide on Frey then can I at least have Inuyasha?" This sent Kagome into a burst of laughter.
"I don't think he swings your way hon but you can try." Still laughing they walked on, still debating on going to school or not. The last final wasn't really important...
