Inuyasha's P.O.V.:
"Kagome; you're back!" Kagome's best friends, Sango and Ayame cried as they ran to and hugged Kagome.
"Hi you guys; I've missed you!" Kagome cried as she hugged them back.
"Hey, be careful; she's still fragile." I said looking at the girls.
"Yes Mr. Ikashi." All three girls said with smiles before they went to breakfast and then their first class; they had Mythology first…
"Mr. Ikashi…" Mr. Host, the principal started, right behind me.
"Mr. Host…what are you doing here?" I asked confused.
"I just came to see how you were doing. How is Kagome doing? Is she adjusting to living with her teacher ok? How is she feeling?" Mr. Host asked looking at me.
"She's doing fine; she's not in nearly as much pain as she was in before. Doctors wrote her a note to get out physical education until she's fully healed. She's adjusted to living with me just fine; she has her own room on the first floor. Why are you asking?" I asked; I got the feeling he knew something.
"I'm just wondering." He said simply; he knows.
"How long have you known?" I asked looking at him, narrowing my eyes.
"Awhile. Once I found she was in the hospital I went to see how she was doing; I overheard the two of you talking. Don't worry; I haven't told anyone. It's nobody's business, but your own. However, I was concerned because she's not very good at science or math; I just wanted to make sure that this relationship wasn't getting her by. However, I seen her grades and such from both your class and her math class; she's just barely passing math. And with your class…she's passing with Cs. Once I seen that I realized you weren't playing favorites. So I'm not going to call you up in front of the education board like I did for Mr. Kureno. I know Ms. Higurashi; she's a sweet girl. So…just keep doing what you're doing." Mr. Host said before leaving to his office while I went to my first class…a few minutes late because of him. So…I didn't know if any of my students were late; although I'm sure there were one or two of them that were…but they were all there.
With Kagome:
Kagome's P.O.V.:
"How are you feeling Ms. Higurashi?" Mrs. Stein, my mythology teacher asked when I got to class.
"Better, thanks." I answered looking at her; she was always so nice; most of my teachers were.
"And I see that you're all caught up now." Mrs. Stein said as I handed her all the stuff that I missed.
"Yes." I answered simply.
"Ok, please take your seat then." Mrs. Stein said with a smile as I took my seat.
After that all my teachers asked how I was doing…except for Mr. Ikashi of course…and Mr. Watters.
Mr. Watters is my gym teacher…and he doesn't care for "weakness" as he puts it. Even though I had a doctor's note, he still sent me to the weight room to make up for what I missed; I would be there for the next week or so… I hated gym…
Ever since gym class I've felt…wrong; but nothing looked wrong…so I stayed in classes.
Normal P.O.V.:
"Ok class… Have any of you seen Ms. Higurashi?" Inuyasha asked looking around; he was starting to worry now.
"Sorry I'm late; Ms. Fowel kept me after class to talk about math…" Kagome said handing Inuyasha a note.
"Ok. Kagome, while you were out you missed a very important test. Do you think you're ready to take it today? Or do you want to wait until tomorrow?" Inuyasha asked looking at Kagome. It was then that he noticed how pale she had become since this morning.
"I'm ready." Kagome said determined.
"Ok. Mr. Priest will take you up to the silent room and make sure you're all set and everything; just give him the test when you're done." Inuyasha said looking at Kagome and Miroku.
"As for the rest of you…today we're going to be watching a movie. I don't want her missing anything more; so we'll start up class again tomorrow." Inuyasha said very seriously, causing his class to cheer.
"Ok Kagome, are you ready?" Miroku asked setting the test in front of Kagome.
"Yes." Kagome said softly.
"Are you feeling ok; you're awfully pale." Miroku said looking at Kagome.
"I'm ok; thank you for your concern." Kagome said politely with a smile.
"Ok then. Well, good luck; I'll be up front if you need anything…except for answers." Miroku said with a smile as he went up to the front desk.
This room was used for makeup tests, detention and disasters (natural or otherwise); almost every room an extra room attached to their rooms.
About half way through her test, Kagome started feeling really uncomfortable. When she reached down to hold her side, it felt wet; so when she pulled her hand back up to find it covered in blood, she panicked.
"Uh…ummm…Mr. Priest." Kagome said standing up only to fall as soon as she started walking.
"Yes, what is it? Kagome!" Miroku asked calmly and then panicked when she fell and he seen the blood.
Miroku did the only thing he could think of and pushed everything off the front desk and placed Kagome there. Once he got her situated, Miroku pulled up her shirt only to see her stitches had ripped; he then called 911.
"What's going in here? What happened?!" Inuyasha asked as soon as he seen Kagome.
"I'm not sure how…but her stitches ripped; she started to get up and then fell forward. I've already called for an ambulance; they're on their way." Miroku said as he found something to apply to her side to at least slow the bleeding.
Inuyasha's P.O.V.:
"Kagome, what happened? I thought you said you were ok to go to school today." I said standing next to her.
"I was…until after gym…" Kagome said shocking me.
"What do you mean after gym? You're not supposed to be participating in physical education…or anything like that." I said seriously.
"Mr. Watters didn't care that I had a note; he said that only excused me from class for the time being. So he sent me to the weight room and had me use the treadmill and bikes and some weights…" Kagome breathed out; she was in a lot of pain.
Now I was pissed.
"I'll be right back." I said as I went back to my class and turned off the movie.
"Class dismissed. You can't go home yet, but you can go to the commons and participate in study hall. Ayame and Kale, take this note and give it to the teachers there." I said handing Ayame a note.
"What's happening; is Kagome ok?" Sango asked concerned.
"No; her stitches ripped and an ambulance is on their way to come get her. Something to do with gym… Now go to study hall; she'll let you know when she's ok." I said seriously, sending the class to two different study halls.
As soon as I was about to head back to the room the EMTs arrived.
"Mr. Ikashi?" Kagome asked as they took her away.
"Don't worry; I'll get everything figured out. I'll meet you at the hospital later." I said, promising her.
Once she was gone I turned to Miroku before heading the gymnasium, "go get Mr. Host and tell him what we just learned."
It was the end of the school day, students were already leaving.
I easily found Mr. Watters in the gym room packing stuff up.
"Hey!" I called out; Mr. Host and Miroku just behind me.
"Oh hey Mr. Ikashi, Mr. Priest and Mr. Host… What brings you all here?" He asked confused.
"How could you have her doing anything today?!" I asked pissed off.
"Who?" He asked confused.
"Kagome Higurashi! She had a freaking doctor's note for crying out loud! You could've killed her!" I yelled pissed off; Miroku had to hold me back before I punched this guy.
"That note excused her from class, not make ups. Besides she's fine; she left class just fine." Mr. Watters said proud of himself.
"She's not fine; she's on her way back to the hospital because her stitches ripped!" I yelled.
"Well then, she shouldn't have come back to school yet, shouldn't she? You need to relax. At least I'm not fucking my students…" Mr. Watters said pissing me off.
"Excuse me?" I asked flabbergasted.
"You heard me." He said simply.
"That's enough…both of you. Inuyasha, calm down. And Carter, he's right; you could've killed her." Mr. Host started.
"What are you saying?" Mr. Watters asked looking at Mr. Host.
"I'm saying I'm going to have to let you go. She had a note to be excused from everything physical; I read it. You should've sent her to study hall as soon as she showed you that note. I can't have teachers like you at my school. Now go before I call the police…" Mr. Host said calmly; I had started calming down a little.
"So why isn't he being fired? He's fucking his student; I'm sure that's how the little slut is passing his class." Mr. Watters said very plainly.
"He's not fucking his student or any of his students. And Kagome is passing his class yes, but not was As or even Bs. She's passing with Cs. You know that students dating or having any type of relations with their teachers get As or high Bs. Kagome is doing it all on her own. Now go. Mr. Ikashi, go make sure Kagome is ok." Mr. Host said seriously.
I did as I was told and drove back to the hospital; Kagome was already waiting outside.
"What's going on? How are you?" I asked right away.
"I'm ok… They stitched me back up and even wrapped me up with a giant bandage as well…so that this doesn't happen again…hopefully. The bandage keeps the stitches in place; it's also waterproof so I can still take showers. They said I didn't lose enough blood to have a transfusion. They said take it easy and no anything physical until I'm fully healed." She explained as she there on a bench.
I fell to my knees in front of her; I was so worried about her.
"Mr. Ikashi…are you ok?" She asked softly.
"Inuyasha…my name is Inuyasha; call me Inuyasha." I said looking directly into her eyes.
"Unless in school?" She asked and I just sighed.
"Yes; unless in school. Let's go home." I said helping her up.
"Yes, let's go home." She said softly as she followed me to my car…
