"Um, I'll be right back." InuYasha nearly leaped off of the bench to the front of the library, with one thought in his head, WHAT DO I DO!

Kagome watched InuYasha disappear to the front of the library. Then She cried harder He, he j-just left.. He's not coming back is he? Kagome wiped the tears out of her eyes, InuYasha wasn't anywhere in sight. How could-Why would he-if he was just going to leave-but then why? Well its best this way, I guess. I can't stand burdening him all the time, now he's free. Kagome opened her backpack and started searching for tissues. As soon as she found a couple she looked up and saw InuYasha standing in front for her.

"Oh, a, you already had tissues" InuYasha sat down besides Kagome again. Kagome looked at the tissues InuYasha had in his hand and laughed. The stack was about two inches thick. She took one out of InuYasha' hand wiped her eyes again and blew her nose.

"Did you take the whole tissue box?" Kagome looked back down at the pile again.

InuYasha suddenly became aware of how many he grabbed. "I didn't know how many you needed." He went to put his arm around her, but last second chickened out and tucked his hair behind his ear. InuYasha took a deep breath, "Kagome"

"Yeah?" Kagome responded, as she fiddled with her bracelet nervously, which only made InuYasha more nervous.

"Um, Kagome."

"Yeah." At that moment the bracelet snapped sending the beads flying all over. Kagome instantly dropped to the floor to pick up the precious beads, followed by InuYasha. Kagome was able to only get 5 little beads, InuYasha picked up the charm, it was a red heart, engraved on it said 'Our souls will always be together.'

I guess she does have boyfriend. I mean the poem, then this, but I've never seen her talk to anybody in this school except the teachers and, me? He must go to another school! InuYasha sat back up on the bench, "I found the charm if that's what you're still looking for."

"Thanks." Kagome sat down next to InuYasha and took a deep relieved breath. InuYasha handed Kagome the charm.

"So is that from, your, a, boyfriend?"

Kagome looked up at him puzzled, "My friend gave it to me, before she moved."

"Oh. When did she move?" InuYasha wasn't sure why he was asking, since he already knew, but it seemed right.

"When I was in the 5th grade."

"Do you still talk to each other?" Now the curiosity of what Miroku didn't know got to him.

"She stopped emailing me about two years ago."

"I'm sorry."

" 'S not your fault."

"Kagome?"

"Hmm?"

"Um, I was wondering if you'd like to come over my house, like after school today, so we could, do our homework together?"

"A, uh, okay."

"Meet me in front of the school at the end of the day, okay?"

"Okay."

"Aren't you going to the nurse?"

"No, I'm fine." Kagome wiped some of the dirt of her shirt.

"No, come on I'll walk you there."

"No, it's okay, really."

"Come on I'm gonna be late to my next class."

That shut Kagome up . She didn't want InuYasha to get in any more trouble from her. When the got to they nurse InuYasha said, "okay so I'll see you later."

"Bye."

InuYasha waited once he saw Kagome enter the nurses office. He heard the nurse ask Kagome why she was here. InuYasha walked away frustrated when he heard Kagome say she tripped and fell. Then Miroku's words started to replay in his head. She's a burden, and I didn't want to deal with her. Over and over, now he was wonder if inviting Kagome had really been a good idea.
