Chapter 4 :…disappearing acts, senile teachers, and the complexities of life…

The next day came. Kagome woke to the morning sun. She had a sort of odd feeling about today. Something about today seemed unique…different…

She looked to her side and seen that it was 7:00am. She had to be at school by 8:15am so she got up from bed and decided to get ready for school. She didn't bother to take a shower so she just got dressed. Since she had fresh bruises she put on a long white strapless shirt and a pair of blue jean bell bottoms. To cover up her bruises she wore a white sweat jacket, leaving her hair down. She also had on a pair of white tennis shoes.

After getting ready for school, Kagome ran right out the door and to school. It was such a lovely day, in Kagome's opinion. She stopped in the midst of a run, and took a deep breath, inhaling the wonderful air with a smile on her face.

"Hey, what do you think your doing?"

Kagome turned to where she heard the voice, still the smile on her face, and she realized Inuyasha had called out to her.

"Huh?" was Kagome's reply. Inuyasha walked up to her.

"What were you doing?" Inuyasha repeated.

"What do you mean? I'm just on my way to school." Kagome said, her head tilted to the side. Inuyasha than noticed her smile.

'It's so true now. Not the mask she put up the last time.' Inuyasha thought, not realizing he was gawking.

"Hello? Earth to Inuyasha!" Kagome said knocking lightly on his forehead to get his attention. That snapped him out of his daze. Kagome giggled "are you ok?"

"Huh…yeah…" Inuyasha replied, still sort of out of it. When he finally fully came to he checked his clock on his cell phone and began to panic. "Shit we're going to be late for first period." With that Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand without realization and ran to school.

At School

Class had already started, student were already in there seats, and the teacher had already began his lesson.

"Hey, have you seen Kagome? I didn't see her come in today." Sango asked some random girl who sat beside her.

"No I haven't. sorry." Replied the girl. Sango sighed and went on with class, paying attention. 'Where the hell are you Kagome?'

As if on cue, Kagome busted into the classroom with Inuyasha right behind her, and she shocked everyone. She did just bust in. No knock. No nothing. She barged right in, in the middle of class. It was startling, especially to the very old, much shaken Myoga.

"Sorry were late!" Kagome yelled, deafening the already, almost senile teacher.

"Just take your seats." Myoga said Kagome and Inuyasha did as they were told, but the entire class just remained silent, partly because they were wondering what Kagome was doing with Inuyasha , and partly because Myoga had yet to return to his boring old lectures…not that anyone was complaining. "Ehh…what was I doing before?" The class just anime sweat dropped.

'This day is going to be interesting' Sango thought with a smirk, while looking at Inuyasha and Kagome...and its only first period.

the complexities of life…

a/n this was intended as chapter 5 (the complexities of life) BUT i decided to merge them two together.

Skipping her boring first, second, and third classes,

The bell rang indicating that it was time for lunch. Kagome put her books away in her locker and headed off to lunch. The halls were quite empty. Kagome let out a sigh. ' I only have a few more hours before schools lets out…before I have to go back to that hell I call home. Sometimes I wish time went by slow so that I wouldn't have to worry so much. ' Kagome thought. She was yet again lost in thought and when your lost in thought, you don't pay attention to your surroundings.

BuMp

Kagome stumbled back. Balancing herself before she would fall, Kagome snapped out of her daze and realized what just happened. She wasn't paying attention and the consequence of that action was bumping into somebody. She looked ahead to see who she bumped into. It was none other than Inuyasha.

"What where your going." He said

"I'm sorry, I was just- Ouch!" Kagome all of a sudden felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

"Are you ok?" Inuyasha asked as he watched her hold her stomach.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She said. She than felt warmth where her hand was, it was more like wet warmth. Inuyasha than picked up the stench of blood with his demonic senses. Kagome moved her hand and saw that most of her white shirt was covered in blood. Her blood. Inuyasha stepped closer to Kagome, lifted up her shirt half ways, and saw that she had a big gash going across her stomach. He looked into her eyes and saw nothing but pain. Kagome starred at the gash on her stomach for a second than looked at Inuyasha.

"…it's nothing…really…"Kagome said before passing out into an unconscious darkness.

"Shit!" Inuyasha yelled. He picked Kagome up and quickly using his demonic speed, he ran/leaped to the nearest hospital.

Meanwhile

Kagome's friends were back at school, not knowing anything about what happened in the halls. They were in the cafeteria chatting away and eating lunch.

"Hey guys, where's Kagome?" Sango asked table of friends. "Have any of you guys seen her?"

"No not since our last class together." Ayame said "She said she was going to her locker to put her books away."

"Guys…I smell blood." Koga said in a worried tone, he than inhaled deeply, taking in a big whiffed of the sent and his face paled. "…its Kagome's blood…"

"What!" Sango yelled, than ran out of the lunch room and in the direction of Kagome's locker.

When they got there, they found a pile of blood in front of Kagome's locker. The girls began to worry and cry. Koga sniffed around Kagome's locker and up and down the hall, until he picked up a new sent.

"That mutt's sent is mixed in with Kagome's. I swear, if he laid a hand on her, he's dead!Koga growled.

With Kagome&Inuyasha

Inuyasha was in the waiting room while Kagome was being examined and possibly about to enter surgery. Inuyasha paced back and fourth, feeling very impatient and worried.

' What the hell was that gash on her stomach from? Is she going to be ok? Why am I so worried about this girl whom I just met? I am just a nice guy, that's all. ' Inuyasha thought becoming lost in his thoughts and worry. He paid not mind to his surroundings.

After waiting many hours in the waiting room of boredom, some excitement entered the hospital.

"What the hell did you do to Kagome?" Koga growled, grabbling Inuyasha by his shirt.

"Get your fucking paws off of me before I rip them off!" Inuyasha growled back in a low and venom filled growl. His eyes flickered from their normal golden amber color to crimson red and back and fourth.

"He saved your friends life."

All heads turned in the direction of the voice. Their eyes landed on who they assumed to be Kagome's doctor.

"Miss Higurashi would not have made it, if not for Mr. Tashio." The doctor said.

"What happened to her?" There was a pile of blood in the hallway at school." Sango asked the doctor. Her voice was shaky.

"It seems Miss Higurashi, somehow obtained a long gash across her stomach area. If not for Mr. Tashio, she would have bled to death." The doctor explained. Sango looked to Inuyasha, whose eyes were now back to normal.

"Thank you, Inuyasha" Sango said her voice almost breaking.

"Yeah…no problem" Inuyasha said softly. He felt sorry that her best friend just went through a near death experience.

"Can we see her?" Koga asked the doctor.

"I'm sorry, but only family and she only whished to speak with Miss Sango at the moment." The doctor said, Sango than stepped out of her group of friends.

"That would be me." Sango said.

"Follow me to Kagome's room." The doctor said and started walking to the elevators to get to Kagome's room. Sango followed close behind, leaving Koga, Ayame, and Inuyasha together in the waiting room.

"Aren't you going to apologize to Inuyasha, for grabbing him like you did?" Ayame asked Koga.

"Heh, no" Koga snorted. Ayame glared at him, than 'hmped', and turned the other way.

"I'd expect that from Koga. He is after all a bastard; therefore not being able to be brought up like a man." Inuyasha said.

"What did you say?" Koga yelled, standing up from his seat in the waiting room.

"You heard me" Inuyasha replied calmly. Koga went to punch Inuyasha but Ayame got in front of him and stopped Koga.

"Sit Down!" Ayame said sternly. She was beyond pissed, and Koga noticed and sat back down.

Ayame is normally a happy-go-lucky type of person. She rarely gets mad, but when she does everyone knows to stay away from her if she's mad at them or to try and calm her down if she's mad at someone else, or she will go berserk.

"You two are the most immature 18 year olds I have ever known! Koga, our best friend could have died and you behave like this?" Ayame yelled

"Sorry" Koga said shameful, just than Sango came back into the waiting room, tears pouring from her now red and puffy eyes. Ayame and Koga shot up from their seats, worried and concerned.

"Is she ok?" Did she tell you what happened to her?" Ayame asked

"No, but she told me to trust her, and I will. She just looked so weak and helpless lying there." Sango cried. Ayame comforted her friend by embracing her.

"When will she be able to leave?" Koga asked

"I don't know. The doctors want to keep her hear for a while for observations and run some tests to make sure her wound isn't infected. "Sango said, leaving Ayame's hug, feeling a bit better, than she walked up to Inuaysha. "Kagome wants to see you"

Inuyasha was shocked for a moment, but pushed that all aside and left to Kagome's room; following her sent he ended right outside her room. When he entered his eyes widened in shock.
