Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha.


School was hell today. It always is, but even more hellish on the first day back after some sort of break. And with a new student... Hell times ten. It wasn't just Kagome, though, it was also...

Sango and Miroku came over this morning. Apparently Kagome's door was still open a crack - I forgot all about that, and apparently, so did she - so Sango let herself in and screamed bloody murder when she found no Kagome, plus a message left in her carpet that looked like it had been written out in blood. She didn't say what it said, just that she covered it up and would have it cleaned up while we were at school so she wouldn't have to find out about it. Still, it fucking hurt like hell to hear her scream like that! I was in the shower, rinsing the conditioner out of my hair when I heard it. My ears flattened and I swear to God I went deaf for about ten seconds there. I shut the water off, threw a towel on and went into the living room to make sure Kagome was alright. She was fine. Just startled at the noise like me.

She was sitting up on the couch, looking around with a confused look on her face. Miroku was standing in the doorway with raised eyebrows and a perverted smirk on his face, I knew what he was thinking and what it looked like, but tell me he doesn't think that little of me...

"InuYasha! Have you - ?" Sango came in then, a panicked look on her face that melted just as soon as she saw Kagome sitting on the couch. Poor girl was probably confused out of her fucking mind. Things got pretty weird after that. Miroku made a comment, hit on Kagome so I hit him and then so did Sango. I was dripping wet, wrapped in a white towel that barely covered anything... Yeah, it didn't look good, but, eventually, we got everything sorted out and Kagome went back to her apartment to get ready, Sango trailing behind her. Miroku followed me back to my bedroom and stood leaning in the doorway as I got dressed, asking questions and being his usual perverted self.

We all left for school together and once we got there, Sango insisted that we all go with Kagome to the office to get her schedule and then help her find her locker and blah blah blah. So instead of spending my last few minutes of freedom doing something that somewhat resembled fun, I spent it being Sango's bitch. Yeah, that was my version of fun, too. Not.

I took a peek at Kagome's schedule while Sango helped her open her locker and come to find out, we have first, thrid, fourth, and seventh hour together. Plus lunch. Miroku and Sango also have fourth hour and lunch with us. Come fourth hour, the teacher puts her in the seat next to me. She smiled at me and then turned her attention back to the front of the class. She's a total teacher's pet, isn't she? And I live right across the hall from her. And Miroku is 99% sure I nailed her last night. Great. That's how rumors get started and how people start thinking I go for nerds. Just saying.

Anyway, the teacher decided on our class' Big Project and handed out the paper explaining the whole thing, plus the supplies. I should explain. Our fourth hour teacher does this thing where every year after winter break, she gives each of her classes a Big Project that needs to be completed and handed in by the last day of school. Nothing else you do in her class matters except for that project, if you decide to do the Project, that is. If you do good on the project, you pass the class, otherwise you're screwed. Our project is to keep a journal. There're a whole bunch of guidelines and shit on the paper, but I just skimmed it and listened as she read the thing out loud to the class. Basically, we have to write in the journal she gave us or one of our own, and we have to use the pens she gave out - this one is a must. She's fucking weird about pens. She's obsessed. I swear she hoards them. Word on the street is that all the drawers of her desk are filled to the brim with the damn things, a very real possibility since she keeps them under lock and key. Psy. Cho. - and it has to be like a real journal. Totally uncensored. She gets full access into our twisted little minds. Yeah, because I want that bitch to know what goes on inside my head. And if we don't want to do it, she won't penalize us, we'll just be graded on all the other work we do, but we have to let her know by the end of the week what we're doing. And since I don't even know what exactly it is that she teaches, I'll have to do the Big Project.

I'm exhausted now. And I still have a butt-load of homework to do. First day back and they're already piling it on. I wonder if Kagome's going to show up crying again tonight. I hope not, I really need sleep tonight. School is a total bitch. And so is that teacher. Just putting that out there, Teach.


My older brother and his girlfriend might be breaking up today. She's having a birthday party for her kid and he's going, and she told him the other day that there's something she needs to talk to him about and she wants to do it "in person." So she's breaking up with him, she cheated on him, or she's knocked up, or any combination of those three. Let's face it, whenever someone says there's something they need to talk to you about "in person" it's never good news. My mother is thrilled, she never exactly liked this girl and she made no attempt in hiding it. Me... I mean, I feel bad for him if they are breaking up, but I never particularly liked this girl, but at the same time, I didn't have any negative feelings about her either. She was just... there. Dating my older brother, playing him like a fiddle, popping in from time-to-time and running from my dog - my baby - like she had the freaking plague or something. Okay, so maybe that last bit irked me a bit, but I wasn't wishing for them to break up or actually trying to break them up, unlike my mother who played every angle she possibly could to get him to dump her, he never did, though, and it pissed her off. I wonder how it's all going to play out. Her step-dad is giving him a ride there and back, so, if she does dump him, that's going to be one hell of an awkward car ride back.

Okay, so what do you think of this? Good excuse to include other journal entries, huh? I think it's pretty good. I'm just having a hard time deciding who else's journal I should steal for future chapters. InuYasha, obviously, but what about the others? What do you think? Whose mind would you all like a peek into in future chapters?

Be sure to let me know what you think!

Peace out,
