AN: Well I know how long it took me to put up the 9th chapter so now that that's up and people I hope to kami have been reading I shall now conduct in proceeding with the story…

Chapter 10: Back to School…Oh joy

It has been three days since the Hakudoshi incident. It was a bright Sunday morning but to Bankotsu it didn't feel so bright. Actually to be honest, to anyone of the close friends it wasn't so bright. The girls had separated themselves from their guys for awhile thinking they were mad at them for not listening to them about Hakudoshi. The guys however separated themselves from the girls thinking that they were mad at them for not keeping them safe and almost ending their lives. The girls would just talk to each other and vice versa with the guys except Kagome and Bankotsu.

Kagome and Bankotsu have completely separated themselves from everyone. Bankotsu only talked to his mother (occasionally his father) and Kagome only talked to Souta. Kagome also has been sick since the day she basically cut all ties with Bankotsu.

Bankotsu sat in his room. Music blasting to songs that related to his pain, curtains closed not letting in a leak of light, door closed and locked so he wasn't disturbed, and the lights were off. He has been like this since Thursday night. Everyday he would think of the last words Kagome said to him and everyday he would grow angrier. His mother told him that she would come to her senses and think about what she said that day but Bankotsu was in doubt and knew that Kagome would never come back to him. 'I used it against her. I used her past against her and look what happened. I'm pathetic. I couldn't have let the fact that she saved me go. I couldn't let the fact that she put her life at risk to save mine. To save me.' he thought to himself.

He looked down at the hand that slapped Kagome. 'I touched her. I abused her. My hands destroyed her precious face.' he thought as he clenched his hand so hard that his knuckles turned white. The fact that he touched a girl, none the least someone he promised he wouldn't dare to, was an unbearable fact.

The day of the…. break up, Bankotsu, his mother Alicia, and his father Lee talked about everything. His father claimed that it was just something that would help them grow a better relationship but Bankotsu didn't believe him. His mother said that she just needs time away to think but Bankotsu believed that her time away was going to be forever. Every since that day he's been getting these weird feelings in his chest. His mother said it was love sickness but he had no idea. Bankotsu wasn't one known for loving anyone except his family so the idea of being "love sick" over a girl made no sense what so ever. All he knew for sure though was that the pain was something that was unbearable. You couldn't see it just feel, and it didn't have a cure. So Bankotsu continued to loom in his room in the darkness hoping that this "sickness" would stay away from him…unlike the girl he wants to hold till death.

Kagome was in her room lying on her bed cuddling her favorite monkey as she cried. She has been crying since late last night. She hasn't talked to anyone except Souta. She told him everything, despite the fact that he was fourteen and didn't quite understand what was happening. However he put that aside for his sister and would comfort her through her sorrow when she needed it.

Kagome's room, since Thursday night, had this completely different aura from the rest of the house. It had this strong aura that if it could, would burn the skin of anyone that tried to interfere with it. That however was on the outside of her room; the inside was a different story. Entering the room you see the bright green and dark black walls. If you came inside the room any other usual day the green seemed to brighten the black making the room pop with personality but today wasn't a usual day. If you walked into her room you see the same bright green and dark black walls but the green doesn't stand out, the black does. The black makes the room seem as if it has a deadly curse and anything that disturbed that curse would regret it.

Kagome sat up on her bed and wiped away her tears. She looked at her bureau and on the mirror she saw a picture of her and Bankotsu. Kagome remembered that she was laying on Bankotsu and they were just having a conversation. Sango had her camera and took a picture of her and Bankotsu. Kagome got off her bed and walked over to the mirror taking the picture out of the mirror to look closely at it. It brought more tears to her eyes seeing how happy she was with him. She put the picture down and looked in the mirror.

Her hair was a in a messy bun with a bunch of loose strands. Her eyes, nose, cheeks, and lips were a bright pink and adding the fact that she's sick made her skin a ghostly pale. A sad crack of a smile came to her face before she started wailing again. "No Kagome stop crying" she told herself. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and exhaled. She opened them and took another deep breath exhaling through her nose.

"Don't cry over him, there's no point. He's just like the other douche bags you've dated." she said to herself as she began to her door. As she exited her room and walked down the stairs she kept saying to herself "keep your cool, you're just gonna get a snack and go back upstairs'.

When she entered the kitchen, Souta was pouring a can of Diet Coke™ into a cup. He looked up at Kagome with a comforting smile. "Hey Kags, are you alright? Do you need me to get you something?" he asked

Kagome shook her head and walked over to the cabinet full of snacks.

Souta looked at her and the mix of anger and sadness filled his eyes. Kagome felt the stare of her brother and looked at him. "Sou, I promise you I'm fine" she said holding a bag of popcorn to put in the microwave. Souta sighed and continued to pour the soda. He threw the can away, picked up his glass, and began walking to his room. Halfway there he put his cup on the coffee table in the living room and ran back over to Kagome burying his face in her back as he gave her a hug. "Kagome I don't care how many times you say you're ok, I hate seeing you like this" he said as she turned around and looked at him. She saw the tears that dared spilling out of her brother's eyes and it broke her heart seeing that her pain was causing him pain. She hugged him and as she cried her pain out. He pulled back and looked at her. "Kagome if you need someone to talk to remember that I promised to be here for you" he said. She only nodded smiling as she wiped away his tears. He kissed her cheek and walked away.

"Souta?" she said. He looked back at her

"Tonight, do you think you can hang out for awhile in my room till I fall asleep? I've been feeling worst since Thursday and I can't sleep peacefully" she said. He nodded and continued to walk to his room grabbing his glass in the process. Kagome turned back to the microwave, grabbed her bag of popped popcorn, and headed upstairs smiling. 'Thank you Kami for giving me my brother, I don't know where I'd be without him' Kagome thought as she walked into her room brighten things by just a smudge.

That night, Souta was in Kagome's room lying down with her as he rubbed her back trying to get her to sleep. It was true that Kagome was feeling worst since Thursday and he had to give her a damp cool cloth to put on her forehead to cool her sudden fever and so far he had to make two pots of hot water for her tea. It wasn't long before Kagome was trying to fight sleep. "Sou, I'm really glad that you *yawn* came and hung out with me" Kagome said yawning "I'm sorry for making you go through *yawn* all this work so I could fe-*yawn* feel better" she said closing her eyes completely. When Souta knew she was asleep, he slipped off her bed and headed towards her door. As he was about to walked out into the hallway he heard Kagome call his name.

"Hmm" he said peeking his head in

"I love you Souta" Kagome said. He smiled and walked over to her kissing her cheek.

"I love you too Kagome" he said walking out her door smiling. He silently closed her door and walked to the stairs stretching and rubbing his eyes.

Entering his room, Souta walked over to his window and looked at the stars. "Please Kami, help my sister and Bankotsu's relationship. I hate seeing her this way and I'm sure Bankotsu feels probably the same way that Kagome does. I want them to be back together so she can be happy again. I miss her smiling face and her laugh. I may be wrong but I think that Bankotsu and Kagome love each other. Please help them." he finished with a sad sigh as he climbed into bed and fell asleep hoping that someone, anyone will help his sister smile again.

Monday morning was a nice day, despite the fact that it was the first day back to school from break.

You heard people laughing and smiling amongst themselves as they hugged each other and said how much they "missed" each other. Sango, Ayame, and Rin were in Pre-Chem. waiting for the teacher to come so class will start. All of them were in the back of the class room as usual. Ayame and Rin were having a conversation about some random shows that they watch while Sango, who was in between them, had her head on the table, blasting music in her ears to drown out Ayame and Rin as she slept.

"I really miss watching Hamtaro, because he was soo cute and I was in love with Bijou" Rin said

"Bijou was nothing compared to Penelope. I just love how she's the cutest and the smallest" Ayame squealed

"Well I guess I can't beat that but I really like Oxnard" Rin said

"I know. Hey, but you can't forget Panda" Ayame said

"*Gasp* how could I forget… wait the reason we forgot is cause nobody likes Panda that much except Kagome" Rin said

"Oh yeah…wait…where is Kagome?" Ayame said looking around the class

"Hmm…I have no clue" Rin said shaking Sango

"Err…what?" Sango said taking an ear bud out her ear

"Have you se-" Rin was interrupted by the teacher. Everyone scrambled to their seats and the lesson began.

As the teacher got into a deep discussion, that only four people in the class understood while everyone else did whatever, Rin took the opportunity to pass some notes around. She ripped a piece of paper out of her notebook and scribbled something on it, before folding it and threw in between Sango and Ayame. They looked at the note, then to Rin who gave them a nod telling them to open it.

(AN: I don't feel like putting who said what after everything so Rin is -, Ayame is ~, and Sango is *… Got it, Back to story mood)

-Do any of you know where Kags at o.o

~Have no clue

*Same here… we could call during gym... well health since Coach doesn't care

-I guess but do you think it has to do with… bankotsu?

*….. uhm

~Well… im like Sang, I don't know how to answer that

-Dammit -_-

The bell rang, signaling class was over. Rin took the note, balled it up, pack her stuff and ran to the door to catch up with Ayame and Sango. She almost forgot to throw the note away so she quickly went back to the classroom and threw it over to the trash bin. Thinking it went it, she ran down the hall calling after Ayame and Sango to wait.

[Back in Pre Chem. class]

Everyone walked into class and took their seats, talking to whoever till class started. Bankotsu ran to the door and was lucky enough to get it before being late… again. He began walking to his table in the back. As he was doing so, he kicked something near the trash bin. Picking up them balled piece of paper, he was thinking of throwing it away till he saw what looked to be his name in a girl's handwriting. 'What the hell' he thought as he took his seat next to Miroku and Inuyasha. They looked at him as he looked at the ball of paper. "Bank, why do you have that?" Inuyasha asked

"I found it by the trash and-"

"Mister Akutarou and Mister Takahashi would you like inform the class on what you are talking about?" the teacher asked

"Hm, might as well spill this information" Inuyasha said smirking as he got up and began walking towards the middle of the class

"Inuyasha sit down, I don't think anyone wants to hear bout how weak you are!" Bankotsu shouted

"Good one Bank" Miroku said giving him a high five

"Shutup pricks, I can beat your asses in a fight" Inuyasha said walking in front of them. They stared each other down before laughing as everyone else in class laughed.

"Akutarou, Takahashi, and Houshi, that kind of language and disturbance in my class is not accepted. Go down to the office immediately" the teacher said pointing to the door.

"Yay, we get to visit our dear friend again" Miroku said as they packed their stuff and left the classroom. Bankotsu made sure to stuff the balled up paper in his bag when no one saw.

At home, Kagome was listening to some music as she once again was crying in her room. She didn't go to school since Souta begged her to stay home and rest. She really needed to thank him when she was feeling better. 'Kami how I love my brother sometimes' Kagome thought as she smiled for a mere couple of seconds before a fresh batch of hot tears fled from her already puffy eyes. She hated how she was crying every minute of the day for the same reason.

Him.

She knew that she was right to say those words, since she had said them to all of her other mistake of boyfriends, but when she said them to him, it felt as if she had drove a dagger into her heart. She felt weird that she was crying over what she said. 'I don't know why I feel like I just messed up everything when I wasn't the one who did anything wrong' she thought crying harder.

She heard her phone ring as someone was calling her. She jumped at hearing the noise because she hadn't spoken to anyone besides Souta and from what time it was, there was no way he was calling her. She didn't bother looking at the caller I.D. and just answer her phone.

"Hello" she said sniffling

"Kagome…" she heard someone say but couldn't quite pinpoint who it was. In the background she heard people laughing and talking so she figured it was someone that she knew in school.

"Who is this?" she asked clearing her voice a little so it didn't sound as if she had been crying

"Sango"

"…..."

"Kagome… hello?" she heard.

'Why was she calling me during school' Kagome thought. "Sango why are you calling me?" I asked just a little harshly

"Uhm, Ayame, Rin and I just wanted to know why you weren't here today?" she asked timid

"I'm sick"

"Oh" Sango said. In the background I could hear Ayame yelling at Sango to give her the phone and Rin telling Ayame to shutup so she could hear. 'Great, they got me on speaker' Kagome said rolling her eyes.

"Are you gonna be here tomorrow?" Sango asked

"No" Kagome said bluntly

[With Sango Ayame and Rin]

"Why is she being so mean" Ayame whispered loud enough so everyone could hear except Kagome, well she was hoping Kagome couldn't hear

"I'm not being mean, I'm just annoyed that you would call me for some stupid ass reason. If I'm not at school where the hell did you think I was, over a damn rainbow with my friend Charlie the fucking Unicorn!" Kagome yelled into the phone. Sango luckily had everyone in the class behind her talking loudly so nobody noticed the phone call…well Sango, Ayame, and Rin didn't think anyone noticed.

Bankotsu was sitting with Miroku, Kohaku, and Koga in class listening to music as they had a conversation on what happened last period. Bankotsu was laughing until he heard something that made him tense up.

He heard Kagome's voice.

He looked over at Sango and the other girls to see that they were huddled over Sango's phone.

When he heard Kagome answer, he could hear a sniffle and knew instantly that she was crying. It bothered him that she was crying but what bothered him more was that it could be over him. He balled his fist unknowingly till Miroku got his attention. "Yo Bank, what's up?" Miroku asked

"Nothing" he said as Miroku let the subject go and continued talking. Bankotsu however continued to listen to the girls' conversation with Kagome.

What he heard wasn't quite clear, but he clearly heard, despite all the noise, when Kagome started blowing up on her "friends". He smirked mentally loving that she was always short tempered and feisty but that smirk disappeared and he sighed holding his face. Miroku again caught his attention. "Bank, are you sure you're fine. You've been acting weird all period?" Miroku said

"Yeah, just need some space" he said calmly as he grabbed his stuff, walked up to the teacher, getting a permission to go to the bathroom, and walked out into the quite hallway not bothering to take out his earphones.

Bankotsu walked the down the hallway till he came upon what looked to be an abandoned stairwell. He walked up a couple of stairs before sitting down with his back against the wall. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed. 'What happened' he asked himself 'what did she do to me. I used to be so…. not this.' he thought as he put his hands in his pocket. He felt his phone and took it out, waking it up to see that his wallpaper was a picture of Kagome smiling. It made him smile just a little on the inside knowing that even if he couldn't get her to smile, or talk or look, at him, that he still had memories of it all. He looked through his phone trying to find the picture in his camera gallery, and when he did find it, he stared at it.

'Call her' he kept saying to himself but was too weak. After about twenty minutes trying to bring himself to a conclusion, he went to his contacts and called her number.

Kagome was finishing her shower when her phone rang. She turned off the water, wrapped a towel around her body, and answered her phone, not looking at the caller I.D. since the screen was foggy.

"If this is Sango again I suggest you hang up before I come to school and beat your-"

"Kagome" she heard a voice that was very familiar. She stared at the phone before putting it back to her ear listening to his breathing.

"…Kagome I-"

"No, don't speak, please. I can't believe you called me." Kagome said "Do you know how much fucking pain I'm going through because of your stupid ass. I save your fucking life and you slap me and call me your bitch." Kagome was choking "Do you know what it feels like to be called that over and over again, Bankotsu." tears spilled from her eyes slowly "I meant what is said before I left Bankotsu. I hate you. I can't bring myself to say what I've said to others but know that just like the others, I'm not coming back to you. Do all the things that you "think" will bring me back but know that you're wasting your time on a disobedient bitch that doesn't know how to keep her big mouth shut!" Kagome sneered as harshly as she could but failed when her tears filled her voice and she dropped to the floor crying. Kagome hung up the phone and cried harder.

Bankotsu on the other end just listened to her as she yelled at him. Tears brewed in his eyes when she said the three words that wished he wasn't going to hear again. 'She feels this much pain' he said 'all because of a dumb ass like me' he said. When she hung up, he looked at the phone. 'No' he thought as he tried calling her again but nothing. 'No no no no no!' he said as he tried calling but everytime he did she never picked up.

He just gave up and put the phone back in his pocket. 'Why Kagome' he thought 'please pick up your phone. I don't care if you don't speak; hearing you breathing is all I need. I don't want to know that I left you crying like I just did. Please pick up' he pleaded softly until he heard someone come down the stairs. He looked up and saw Sara the music teacher. She walked to him and looked at him.

"Bankotsu is everything alright?" she asked. He looked at her with tears in his eyes. She sat down with him and looked him.

"Bankotsu, I've never seen you like this. What happened, would you like to talk about it?" she asked hoping no to get him annoyed

"Sara, does it really look like I want to talk..." he said looking at her. She shook her head and stood up holding her hand out towards him. He looked at her confused but saw in her eyes that she wanted him to take her hand. He took her hand, to help him get up and they began walking down the steps toward the Music Room he presumed.

Reaching her room he realized that it was the end of the day and he had completely skipped all of his other classes. 'Well isn't that great, I got yelled at and cried for most of the fucking day' he cursed himself for being so weak. He looked at Sara and saw that she was looking for something on her iPod. She jumped up and down when she found what she was looking for and plugged the music into the speakers. He didn't understand what she was doing but when the music began playing he understood that she wanted him to play drums so help get anger out. He sighed but did what she silently asked hoping that playing to the song that him and Kagome first performed would heal his wide open wounds.

Kagome was able to get off the floor and get dressed, sobbing here and there. She didn't bother to fix her hair as she crashed on her bed her hair soaking her pillow. She slowly began to drift to sleep from all the crying. The last thing that she remembered was listening "Stand in the Rain" by Superchic[k]" and knew that from then on it was her life theme song.

A week had gone by and Kagome was able to go back to school. The Monday that she came back though wasn't really welcoming. When she walked into Pre Chem. she decided that she would sit with a girl named Kaguya, the smartest girl in class leaving Sango, Ayame, and Rin confused. They tried confronting her after class but by the time they got to the door, where she was at, the three were dumbfounded when they saw that she had made it down the hall and was walking into class. The girls ran down the hall, knocking some people over, to see that Kagome was sitting in the front next to Hojo and Shippo, the most adorable and most annoying boys in their senior class. The girls looked at each other decided that there's no point in trying to question her if every chance they get she's always disappearing.

Gym, however for Kagome was really awkward but got better near the end. She had come back the day they were started another fitness period, so she was the first person to be changed and on the soccer field. When everyone slowly started to file onto the soccer field, Kagome caught a glance of Bankotsu walking with Miroku laughing. Apparently he hadn't noticed her, thankfully. As more and more students in her class came, Coach Mark had called everyone to group around. Kagome made sure to stay out of sight from Sango, Ayame, Rin, and Bankotsu. "Alright, this is the game plan. Today is a free day since the coaches and I have to think of what to do since it's spring and this season is known for its bi-polar weather." he said "Do whatever you want just make sure that you keep it at least PG-13 alright" he said as everyone laughed and dispersed. Kagome decided that she was just gonna sit, so she walked to the bleachers and sat looked at the sky.

"Hey freak" she heard and looked at Kikyo

"If you want to keep your whoring body not injured, I suggest you back the fuck away from me bitch" Kagome hissed

"Aww I just wanted to say I'm sorry that you and Bankotsu didn't work. Looks like I can fuck him all I want now" Kikyo said as Kagura and Yura laughed. Something suddenly snapped in Kagome and she pounced on Kikyo sending blows to her face. Kagura and Yura screamed for help as the coaches saw what was happening on the other side of the field and came running.

Kagome was punching and scratching Kikyo's face hoping to leave her with severe bruises and, hopefully, even some permenent scars. A pair of boys came from behind Kagome and pulled her away from Kikyo. "Get the fuck off me dammit, I'm gonna fuck that damn bitch up for messing with me!" Kagome screamed as she thrashed around. The coaches came and one of them helped the guys with Kagome while another one helped Kagura and Yura take Kikyo to the nurse and two others told the other students to go to what they were doing.

Bankotsu was walking around the field with Koga, Miroku, and Kohaku when he heard someone scream. He looked and saw that Kagura and Yura were screaming for help. He ran with Miroku, Koga, and Kohaku behind him to see that Kagome was beating the crap outta Kikyo. He motioned for Miroku and Kohaku to pull Kagome off her and they ran as fast as they could successfully pulling her away. She screamed and thrashed in their grip to be released. "Wow, I didn't think Kagome was the one to hurt someone" Koga said as him and Bankotsu looked back to see coaches running to the scene. Coach Mark, Miroku, and Kohaku began dragging Kagome inside probably going to the principle. Another coach help with Kikyo and two others told everyone to basically mind their business and go back to whatever.

Kagome screamed demanding to be let go as she was dragged into the school. "Ahh, let me the fuck go!" she said in the hallways knowing that she was interrupting classes but didn't care. Her intentions were to go find Kikyo and finished what she started. Coach Mark stopped and looked at Kagome. "Listen to me, either you shut up and stop this damn tantrum or you'll be suspended for two months and won't graduate." he threaten

"You can't do that!" she screamed

"I can and I will if you don't stop acting like a damn five year old" he said through clenched teeth. She glared daggers at him as she walked to the office, snatching her arms from Miroku and Kohaku saying she was a "big girl" and could walk just fine.

Kagome entered the principle's office and stood by the closed door where Miroku and Kohaku stood. They were ordered to stay with her incase she ran out to the nurses office to "finish business". Kagome didn't say anything knowing that she would probably do just that. She remembered that she had never been to the principle's office since the beginning of last year when she got suspended and was hoping that he didn't remember that. "Take a seat" she heard him say and she sat down putting her feet on the edge of his desk. She saw him look at her and she smirked at him. "Why hello Hiten, how's it been?" she said

"Why Miss Higurashi, what a pleasure seeing you here. What have you done this year that can be compared to last year's incident?" he said raising an eyebrow. She rolled her eyes before getting out of her sit, walking around the room.

"Trust me, you don't wanna know" she said laughing a bit

"Miss Hi-"

"Hiten, I thought we talked about this last year; I don't appreciate being called by my last name. It makes me sound old. That's why I don't call you by your last name, cause you're not old." she said as she found a can of lollipops on his desk and took one, popping it into her mouth. "I mean would you like being called" Kagome cleared her thorat "Mr. Kaminari" she said in a deep manly voice. Miroku and Kohaku laughed at her but she didn't notice.

Hiten sighed before speaking

"Whatever floats your boat, but like I was saying why are you here?" he said

"Would you like my side with full detail, or would you like the side that you will mostly hear from stupid Coach Mark" Kagome said sitting in the chair again with her feet on the desk again.

"Please, tell whatever side you want" he said in a pleading way

"Alrighty then, you see I was really not in the mood to be talked to today so I stayed silent most of the day. I went to my classes and shit like that. When I got to P.E. I did what I was suppose to and put on this skimpy gym uniform and went outside, FYI you should really say something about these uniforms cause guys really love gym class when they see a girl in these" Kagome said standing up and looking down at the uniform.

"Kagome get on with it" Hiten said rubbing his temples

"Alright alright, like I was saying, I went to PE and did what I was told which is we could do anything. I didn't want to do anything so I sat on the bleachers. That dumb ass Kikyo and her fucking whores came outta no where and were messing with me. I told Kikyo to back away from me or else and she decided not to so I did the or else part and fucked her up." Kagome said catching her breath "Those two idiots over there" she said pointing at Miroku and Kohaku who were on the floor laughing "came and pulled me off the bitch then Coach Mark came and began dragging me here" she finished with a grin.

Hiten was silent before talking. "Was that it?" he asked

"Uhm… yeah I believe I told you everything" she said throwing the paper lollipop stick in the trash bin.

"Alright well Kagome you are going to be suspended for the rest of this week starting when you leave my office." Hiten said

"What!" Kagome choked "I just came back from being damn ill and I'm suspended!" she said

"You harmed another student" he said "and I would do more but I guess since you did warn the other student of your foul mood, I'm going easy on you" he said looking at her.

"…Fine, but does it have to be right after I leave. Can't I stay just till Study Hall" Kagome pleaded

"No Kagome, I'm sure that if Kikyo is released from the nurses' office and you see her you won't hesitate to continue your fight." Hiten said

"Ugh, fine" she said standing up and walking to the door. Before she opened it she walked back to his desk, took another lollipop, put it in her mouth, and leaned into her principle's face.

"Heed my warning Hiten" she said "when I get back, the first person I'm coming after is you... then Kikyo" she said walking to the door and Miroku opened it looking at Kohaku who looked at their principle. "Love your job don't you" Kohaku said as him and Miroku left laughing their heads off as they had to follow Kagome to the locker room and to her hall locker and to the front school entrance making sure she didn't do anything rash.

Bankotsu walked to the Cafeteria with Inuyasha and Koga. The rumor about Kagome and Kikyo had already spread through the whole school like a fire in a room full of kerosene. It was unbearable to listen to the rumors that were false about Kagome. Bankotsu sweared that the next person to say her name and crack in the same sentences was going to die.

As Bankotsu sat down, he heard Kohaku and Miroku telling everyone about what happen at the office that morning. "It was hilarious. She talks to him like we do. I swear the look on Hiten's face was priceless. It looked like he wanted to choke her with the lollipop that she had in her mouth." Kohaku said

"Yeah and when she was explaining what happened between her and Kikyo, she cursed like every ten seconds and he didn't say anything. I was impressed that she practically had him wrapped around her finger when she was suspended for just the rest of this week where as one of us would have gotten expelled!" Miroku said giving kudos to her.

Bankotsu couldn't take the fact that she was being so tough when he knew that she was broken inside. He didn't understand why since he was doing the same. 'After school I'm gonna go over her house and see what's wrong and why she's acting like this' he said as he ate lunch and continued to listen to people about the girl he wants back.

When Kagome walked into the house with her gym uniform on, her grandfather looked at her with a confused look from his place on the couch. "Kagome?" he said. Her mother looked at her confused as well.

Kagome dropped her keys on the counter and looked at her mom. "Hey the school is gonna be calling you sometime today, so I'm just giving you a head's up before you chew my head up." Kagome said taking a few freshly baked cookies off a plate a running upstairs "Later" she said before slamming her door.

Kagome turned on the TV in her room and also turned on her laptop, going straight to her music. She didn't really know what to do after that so she looked for her remote and began searching the channels for something to watch. After finding nothing on, Kagome thought of some things that she could do to past the time.

'Uhm…darn I can't think of anything' she thought. "Oh I know, I could take a shower and see what comes to me" she said getting a few things and heading to the bathroom to take a "thinking" shower.

While Kagome was washing her hair she began thinking of ideas. "Ok well my room doesn't need to be clean, I've washed my clothes, I don't have homework thankfully…hmm I could draw or write some poems that usually gets in a good mood" she thought rinsing her hair and getting out the shower. She put on some black basketball shorts that she stole from Souta's room and a plain white long sleeve shirt.

She searched her room so her sketch pad and found by the window sill. She looked out her window and saw that it was becoming a little cloudy so she would wait till the rain came to draw. She then began searching for her writing journal and found it in the drawer in her bureau. She thought of ideas to write about and found the perfect one.

The day at school was awfully slow after Kagome left. Bankotsu had these strange urges to run out of school and to Kagome's place to talk things through, but he knew that that wouldn't happen. 'Kagome said it herself, she hates me' Bankotsu said breaking the pencil he had in his hand during English. Luckily nobody around him noticed that his face was a bit red and how frustrated he looked. The bell rang and he was the first one out so he could get to Music and be finished with this one day of hell.

Sara greeted everyone as they entered the door. Every Monday, Sara suggested that everyone picks a song that they feel describes them, someone they care about, how they're feeling, etc. etc. She then would put the selected songs on the speaker and everyone would have to describe the song, or how the person is and/or feels.

The first couple of songs that played weren't very interesting. Bankotsu guessed that the persons who choose the songs is someone that feels content with the world or someone that is at ease and is problem free. Everything changed when the song "Behind These Hazel Eyes" by Kelly Clarkson" came on. It was obvious what the song meant, but who could have chosen it. 'I wonder if Kagome feels that way' Bankotsu thought as Sara looked at him and he sighed putting his head on the desk.

Bankotsu remembered that last Monday he had told Sara of everything knowing that she was able to keep it to herself. The fact that she knows of what's happening and knows how much pain Bankotsu is in, only made listening to the song worst. He didn't want to think that Kagome was that broken, but talking to her over the phone last week proved him wrong. After the song was over, the next one brought tears to some people's eyes. "Supernatural" by Flyleaf" came on and it made some people remember times that were hard for them. Bankotsu wasn't very fazed by the song but the one after was his. "No Air" by Jordin Sparks feat. Chris Brown.

Bankotsu took forever trying to find a song that said everything and he felt as if the song did it. Kagome is very special to him and the fact that she's gone feels as if he can't breathe anymore. The rest of the period seemed to be blank since the only thing that Bankotsu could think of was how he wanted to get Kagome back.

When the bell rang, Bankotsu was the first out the class and to his car. He drove home as quickly as could without getting a speeding ticket. As he was sitting in class he thought of ways to, not spy on her, but look at her from a distance. He didn't quite know where he could do that without entering her house, so he wanted to get home so he could clearly think of places that he could watch her from. Although it may feel like stalking to her, to him it was making sure that she was alright physically when he knew that mentally she was destroyed.
