Disclaimer: I dun own InuYasha. Very sad.

Now let the show go on!!

I prepared myself with a pile of textbooks. And an old book bag full of notes that Hiroshi could use to study with and could take home. I always liked packing things. It reminded me of my trips to the Feudal Era.

Before long I hear a doorbell. Rushing down I open the door. Hojo is here!

"Kagome-san, I'm here early just in case Hiroshi decides to come early, " Hojo says.

I smile. "Konnichiwa Hojo-kun," I smile again and show him all the snacks my mother made. "She kinda went insane."

"Yes, I suppose so. I brought my Math notes and my Science book. I also have a catalogue of information our family pharmacy gives. It is very informative. According to it, Kagome you should have a toad liver shake daily to keep your illness away for life," Hojo states concerned about me again.

I don't know how I wound up knowing one of the coolest guys in school. I don't even know how he became cool. He seems so quirky.

I smile at his statement hiding my disgust.

We sit down at my low table cross-legged. I open up my notes and we compare. We eat chips and wait in silence.

After a long wait my mother opens the door. "Kagome!" she yells. Both Hojo and I dash to the door.

There stands Hiroshi, wearing casual clothing nothing to rich kid looking. He is wearing a bright red t-shirt and jeans. I begin to see it again. For some reason the sunlight falls on Hiroshi as it did once on Inuyasha when he was in the human world, on top of that half-constructed building in the morning. He looked heroic. His eyes had that same glint.

Hojo greeted him and led him to the table. I walked over in a trance. My eyes were swelling up with tears. I remember the way Inuyasha and me said good-bye. Right now he was probably with Kikyo. He probably had forgotten who I was. All the times we fought Naraku. How I saved his life and he did mine. I saw Shippo playing around and Inuyahsa separating from the group because of Kikyo. What was I doing here? They needed me there!

Hojo began reading text that Hiroshi pointed out caused him to fail three tests. "Herbal medicine. Herbal medicine is medicine derived from herbs and plants." Hojo started.

Why am I sitting here when I could be asking a teacher on a weekend for extra work to get ahead. I just had to wait for exams. I could be out of here. Then through the well and on his back. With Inuyasha. With Sango and Miroku. With Shippo and all the adevtnures. I was happy there. Am I happy here? Do I belong in this time?

"The chemical properties of the plant extracts are what causes the cure. Sometimes these extracts make the drugs you and I use today. So that really means that herbal medicine is what they used before drugs. It was harder. They had to make the drug really. They had memorize what was needed to cure what. Instead of going to a stor-"

"Is Kagome okay?" Hiroshi pondered looking up from the Plant science book. He wasn't paying attention to the book. He had been tapping his finger on the desk.

I looked up and came to reality. Then I realized I was crying again. I wiped y tears. I can tutor Hiroshi-san and get ahead. Tomorrow I will go to school and talk to Sensei. I will get even more ahead of class. I will get the next months assignments! I can even ask to write exams early. I can do it!

I look up and say. "I'm, fine. Hojo please continue. Or should be show him the medicine chart?" I say smiling.

Hojo and I hold up the chart. "We made a chart to help you learn what herbs make what medicine," I smile. This was easy for me. I remember learning this just before leaving to the Feudal Era it helped me cure Inuyasha's careless wounds. He was always getting in trouble.

"You mean if I learn this I can treat my own wounds?" Hiroshi asked bored.

"Sort of……" replied Hojo afraid he would do something reckless.

The tutoring session continued with me not looking in Hiroshi's eyes. He seemed enever to listen to caution or a lesson fully. He looked for shortcuts all the time. And what struck me most strange was he kept saying "Feh."

At the end of the session my mom thanked Hiroshi for coming. Just before he left he said. "Hojo you should take Kagome out for a nice date now that I'm out of your hair." He winked again. He went to close the door.

I held it open. Anger engulfed me. He was so assuming and arrogant. He was augh. Hard to explain. He made me feel just like Inuyasha made me feel. "Hiroshi! We are not a together. I am not dating Hojo-kun we are just friends. JUST FRIENDS! I feel nothing for him!"

Of course my mom knew this and was no surprised, but shocked I raised my voice. Hojo looked dejected. Hirsho just smirked and said "Keh. Stop denying what's in front of you woman."

"My name is Kagome! Say it Kagome!" at that moment I could no longer see anything. I felt blind. I had the strangest dèja vu feeling like I had told someone to say this before. I had told Inuyasha. I felt mad and I could no longer see Hojo. I could no longer see Mom. I could only she Hiroshi infront of me. I could see the trees and green hills of the Feudal Era behind him. I saw him grow up so he looked just as Inuyasha. As if my wish had come true. Inuyasha had been born in my time. We were no longer separated by time.

In a flash I noticed the blue beaded necklace around his neck. I stomped my foot on the floor. "Inuyasha OSU-WA-RI!"

What wrong with Kagome??? Saying Osuwari to hiroshi? Has Inuyasha really been re-born in her time? Will Hiroshi fall to the ground? What will happen to Hojo will they continue tutoring?

Sorry if I'm becoming bad at this. I think I'm losing my touch. Am I? Please Review. Thank-you.
