Kagome thought long and hard about Inuyasha's poem. It made sense, in a way, but not completely. Then it clicked, maybe Inuyasha was talking about her, but as soon as that thought came Kagome already mantally crossed it out. Even if Inuyasha did like her, she didn't like him right? She still had feelings for Hojo, and now that he's in town--well her feelings were a little bit stronger. But on the other hand Inuyasha has been there since day one, he was totally cute and funny and possibly deep.
Kagome was still thinking when she bump into a really hard chested person.
"Ow! Uh...I'm sorry. I'm such a klutz." Kagome muttered.
" That's okay." The hard chested person said.
That voice was VERY familiar, thought Kagome. She got up and looked up, what she saw surprised her. Breathe in. Breathe out. She reminded herself.
"Hojo..." Kagome uttered the single name that changed her whole life drastically.
"Uh, hi Kagome, very long time no see." said Hojo, blushing.
Kagome did what her instincts were telling her. She closed the gap between her and Hojo, then snaked her hands around him.
"Are you attending this school again?" asked Kagome.
"Uh, I actually I haven't thought of that. I was mostly thinking about you. Us. You know the old stuff." revealed Hojo.
"Really? I mean why did you suddenly want to show up?"
"To see you and to heal, remember I was in a car accident?"
The warning bell shrieked.
"Ummm, Hojo...can we just talk another time, I'm kinda going to be late to my biology class." Kagome said with a smile.
"Sure, I'll call you tonight!" yelled Hojo, after the running maniac Kagome.
-biology-
Kagome walked in the room with one munite to spare. She took her assinged seat in the middle of Kouga and Inuyasha. The professor, Mr. Jenji, walked in, his muscular legs carrying him through the class very gracefully. Inuyasha looked at her worry filling the amber orbs that were focused on her for that moment, just her.
"Why were you almost late?" mouthed Inuyasha.
"Hojo." mouthed Kagome back, every syllable perfectly pronouced.
"Ok, tell me later." whispered Inuyasha.
Today they were starting human anatomy, they had to disect a dog, record the data, and present it to the class. Once again Inuyasha was her partner, they disected a puppy. It made Kagome sick to her stomach, Inuyasha took the scalpel with a shaking hand. The puppy was already dead so they didn't have to worry about any whimpers, or anything. He made an inscision right on the stomach, and a trickle of blood formed. The blood dripped from the dog into the tray, Kagome forced herself to look at the dog since she really needed a good grade, at her side Inuyasha was taking deep slow breaths to calm him down. She tried his strategy and instead of bringing comfort, the breath brought a foul smelling odor.
After 10 minutes, most of the girls in her class were turning green, or running out of the class into the bathrooms. Now, she was the only girl standing in the room, everyone would steal a glance at her every once in a while, checking when she gets sick. Mr. Jenji approached Kagomes table and he asked her for the data.
"Good job Inuyasha and Kagome." Mr. Jenji commented, then turned around for another remark, "Kudos to you Ms. Higurashi for not running out of the room." Mr. Jenji smiled.
