1(A/N) Sooo sorry for the super long wait... School started back up again and I haven't really had time to update. A huge thank you to every one who waited anyways. :)

Write a short story about something you care about. Give details and supporting theories to help your story come alive.

Inuyasha growled. Why were the teachers always going for the sappy crap? Couldn't there be a good book out there that didn't have anything to do with the fluff-stuff Kagome was always going on about?

Inuyasha was a guy. What kind of guy wrote stuff about caring?

With a sigh, Inuyasha flopped backwards on his bed.

"Something I care about, huh?"

He shuffled through his pocket until he found the object he was looking for. Resting his head back on a bent arm, he lifted up his other hand and let the heart shaped locket dangle from his clawed fingertips. Using the pad of his thumb, Inuyasha pushed the tiny lock-and-seal. The locket popped open with an audible click to reveal a scowling Inuyasha on one side and a smiling Kagome on the other side, holding up two fingers in a peace-sign.

Inuyasha smiled softly as he remembered all the trouble Kagome had gone through to get the locket for his birthday. Going so far as to trick him into a photo-booth at the bowling alley with the promise of the last slice of pizza, nearly driving him crazy with her twenty questions that consisted mainly of, "What's your favorite color"'s and "Which one's better, amber or ruby?"'s. It had been a sigh of relief when, three days before the official date, Kagome had skipped up to him, holding out a yellow and blue polka-dotted jewelry box and saying, "Happy Birthday, Inuyasha!"

All at once his flashback was dissolved into the tone of Hinder's Lips of an Angel. Inuyasha's smile blew into a full blown grin as he picked up his cell phone and pressed talk.

"Hey, Kagome, I was just thinking of you."

He could practicly hear Kagome rolling her eyes. "I'm stuck between being entirely creeped out and loving the fact that you think of me when I'm not there."

Inuyasha grinned. "What's up?"

He heard a sigh. "I can't think of what to do for the assignment. I got so low that I actually thought about doing it on my text book. How lame is that?"

Inuyasha laughed. "About as lame as it gets, Kagome. Why are you having such trouble? Arn't girls supposed to be all over the lovey-dovey wish-wash crap?"

"Okay, first, I'm going to ignore the first insult because I love you and I already called myself lame so I can't really object. Second, not all girls think alike. And third, pretty please never say lovey-dovey wish-wash again."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Feh."

"Thank you. Hey, do you think I could do it on my cat?"

"Buyo?"

"Yup."

"Cat's arn't things, idiot."

"What about a pensil?"

"Why would you want to do it on a pensil in the first place?"

"Because they help me to pass my tests and stuffs?"

"Nerd."

"Shut up."

Inuyasha couldn't stop the laugh that bubbled out of his throat when he heard a very Kagome-like squeal.

"I know! I know!" He heard the pink of something light hitting her desk. "Hey, Inuyasha, I got to go, I'll call you back later, okay?"

He didn't even get the chance to answer before he heard the dial tone.

"That wench." He muttered to himself. He set his cell phone down and glanced at the locket. "That wench..."

The next morning, Inuyasha arrived at school and handed his assignment into the teacher's hands before taking his seat next to Kagome.

Kagome giggled.

"Hey, whats up with you?" His only answer, though, was another giggle.

It was half way through the period when the teacher stood up, looking as angry as she was ugly.

"Teach?" Inuyasha cautioned.

The teacher walked to the front of the room, holding two papers, one crisp and neat, the other bent and scribbled on.

"I've got two very interesting papers here, class. Takahashi Inuyasha, Higurashi Kagome, please stand and read your assignments to the class."

Inuyasha glanced at his friends confused and worried face as he stood and grabbed his paper.

Kagome read first.

Kagome Higurashi

Period One

My most treasured object is something I've only acquired recently. A tiny heart shaped locket. I got it for my best friends's birthday and I've put a picture of him on one side and me on the other. It's very important to me because it reminds me of him.

She glanced at the teacher who nodded at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha Takahashi

Period One

My most important object was given to me by my best friend for my birthday. She put me through heck trying to make it special for me, the tiny heart shaped locket. It's got a picture of me on one side, and her on the other. It's precious so I carry it everywhere.

The teacher looked at them. "Do you see the resemblance?" She pointed an accusatory finger at them. "They are almost exactly similar! You cheated!"

Inuyasha looked at his best friend and they both doubled over in laughter.
