"Wow. That was great Kagome. Thank you". She talked with her hand cupped over her mouth. She was shaking a bit, you would'nt notice unless you were really close to her. A tear slid down her cheek and she quickly wiped it away with the palm of her hand. I only nodded towards her. I watched her straighten up, shake her head and looked back at me with a smile, forgetting her past sadness.

"You know what, you and I should hang out". She smiled.

"I have alot of things to do but I'll think about it." I looked at her for a moment waiting for some kind of reaction, but all she did was smile.

" You know. That's the most you've said to me all day". She smirked and looked at her watch and her eyes widened.

"We're going to miss the rest of lunch if we don't hurry" She turned and began walking to the exit before she stopped and turned around.

"Are you coming with me? You need to eat to right?" I just continued to look at her. This weird girl was waiting for me to hurry up to go to lunch with her. Frankly I didn't think she would stop and wait for me when she began walking.

"Yeah" I said.

We began walking when I realised something, She somewhat reminded me of souta. She seemed like someone I could trust, someone I could become close friends with, someone worth protecting.

"Oh no don't you dare go thinking she cares about you. Are you getting soft on me? HER like souta HA! How disgusting. Souta is nothing like her."

"It was a idiotic thought, it not like I even know the girl. I could care less"

"Just make sure it stays that way."

"Is it ok if you come sit with me?" I heard her ask. I looked around for a moment before shrugging. We had gotten lunch and sat down arcoss from a boy with a low pony tail.

"Kagome this is Miroku,once you get to know him it takes a while to get used to him" She laughed and I had looked at him for a moment before returning to my food. I could tell he was looking at me but cared nothing about it.

"Hi. You must be the new student." I nodded my head towards him. I could see Sango from the corner of my eyes and she looked confused.

"wait miroku you didn't-" She stopped in mid sentence and thought for a moment before shrugging and continuing to eat. I finished my food and looked over to sango.

"I'm done. I have something to do" I turned and left an odd feeling nagging at the back of my mind. I had felt someone's presence behind me and turned around to find golden eyes looking into mine. He was the same boy I had looked at this morning.

"I like that name 'Kagome'. It rings" He stated.

"What do you want?"

"Nothing. Can't I just talk to you, your new and I would like to show you around"

"I'm fine" I turned to leave when he called for me.

"Wait, Hold on!" He shouted

"How annoying, what do you really want?"

"What the hell. I'm trying to be nice and this is what happens"

"You have a ulterior motive. I can tell. Your eyes betray your face, now seeing that we having nothing more to talk about i'll be taking my leave" She turned and walked away not hearing his last words.

"It seems that my cover was blown hm, I quess it makes things easier and possibly twice as fun."

"Do you think we can become good friend with her?" Sango asked sticking her fork into her food before looking up at miroku.

"Why does it matter? There's something about her that I dont' like. There's something about her that I can't see in her eyes that I see in others. She's so cold" He said grimly

"MIROKU what the hell? I've never heard you speak like this before. you dont even know the girl yet.?" She slamed her hands on the table and glared at him.

"And you do. you know just as much about her as I do." She looked at him and thought about what he was saying.

"To me she doesn't seem that bad. She just seems really hurt and she trying her best to hide it. But it seems like only I can see that"

"Maybe you are " The bell rang and there conversation was over.

"Souta do you think I should trust her, I don't but if you do then that's different. I feel so stupid doing this but she reminds me of you. Her eyes seem to see me and I dont like it. I hate how she seems to know what I mean without me saying it, it's the way you used to." She had heard the bell ring long ago but she wanted to stay in her spot, sitting on the rooftop talking to souta and pretending that he was still alive to hear. Every year she did this. When that day was coming up. She knew it was childish and pointless but it helped. Very little but some at the same time.

"Not even a whole school day has pasted and you insist on talking to yourself. tsk tsk tsk. I though you were stronger than that" It mocked her. She had smirked this time she had the upper hand.

"What are you talking about, im only as strong as my mind. are you calling your self weak."

"WHAT, no don't twist this around on me. I am a strong mind placed in a weak body" It was slient for a moment before clamly sighing.

"1 month right. It's coming up in 1 month" She though.

"Don't ask me as if you have forgotten you already know the answer." It barked back coldly.

"I know. i'm just making sure" She though. She didn't want to argue right know she just layed back on the pebals and closed her eyes.

"Whatever" It disappeared to the far parts of her mind.

"30 days, 18 hours and 41 miuntes". She balled up her fist and glared at the sky as if it was the sorce to all her problems, before she put her hands behing her head and closed her eyes.

" Why was it you?"

It shorter then the original but I like this one better. well have a nice day. bye
