The next morning was like any other, the sun shining through white fluffy
clouds. As Kagome woke up, her first thoughts were about Inu-yasha.
Oh, that's right, Hojo needs to get Inu-Yasha to pick an elective. Where is he, anyways? I'll just ask Inu-yasha myself. Kagome thought with a giddy feeling in her stomache at the chance of being able to talk to this stranger.
"Hi, Sango! Hi, Miroku!"
"Hi Kagome!" Both of them replied.
I wonder what they're doing together without getting in a smacking/groping contest. "I'm a little busy this morning so I'll see you guys later!" Where is he? This new kid can't be doing anything dumb-like ditching school. I'll just check the classroom now.
But as soon as she got to class, the bell rang and school had officially begun.
Professor Kaede began as always, "Good morning everyone. I am sorry to inform those involved, but the after school radio elective class is postponed 'til tomorrow." With that, she bombarded the students with their daily morning geometry, which made Kagome fall asleep with despair, confusion, and boredom.
Finally, it was lunch time. After hours of grammar, writing, gym, and geometry, Kagome had almost forgotten her important mission.
"Sorry guys," she said to Miroku and Sango, "I have to go somewhere. Be right back!" Her brief explanation for her absence was accepted.
Good thing Hojo's busy helping the teachers. I really want to talk to Inu- yasha alone. Otherwise, I would have had to drag Hojo with me.
Leaving Sango and Miroku in the dust, Kagome had finally caught up with Inu- yasha. "Hey, new kid! Wait up!" She yelled, earning a menacing glare from Kikyou from across the campus.
"Feh. What do you want?" Inu-yasha asked. "Gosh. Don't be so rude. I'm Kagome and I just wanted to ask you if Hojo had remembered to see that you've chosen your elective. Let's see. There's the art thing, drama-if you like that kind of stuff ."
This girl's friendly, but I wonder what she wants. Suppose she knows about.. No, that's impossible. They can't possibly know. Ah, what did she ask me about? Oh yes, the elective. Hmm.. How about that perfect Hojo guy? He seems-"
Spotting Hojo nearby, Inu-yasha pointed and asked, "What's he doing?"
"Oh, Hojo? Well, he's elective is radio. Why?"
"Radio?... I'll do that, then."
"Ok. See you later, I guess!" With that, a confused Kagome left Inu-yasha alone.
At the end of the school, Kagome and Hojo were walking home together. Spotting a hurried Inu-yasha going into the library, Kagome turned to wave, but stopped herself, feeling that Inu-yasha didn't seem to like her at all and that she should leave him alone till tomorrow.
They were talking about random things- the weather, what they'll do during the upcoming winter break, and of Miroku and Sango. The talk immediately stopped as they reached the bridge with the small railings on the side.
Knowing what will happen; Hojo glanced at her worriedly and started, "Kagome."
It was too late. As soon as they had reached the bridge's railing, she got up on it and started to walk across the railing.
Hojo tried again. "Kagome, please. It's dangerous, please come down!"
"No way, Hojo. This time, I'm going to walk all the way across this railing."
"You'll fall- it's dangerous. Please- at least take my hand."
"No way. I'm going to do this!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Inu-yasha was looking through the many stacks of year books, trying to find the right year.
These two seem the closest, He thought, as he reached out and grabbed them off the shelf. Without bothering to find a desk and sit down, He hurriedly got out a picture of three people, two men and one beautiful looking woman dressed pretty formally. The woman had her arms around the waist of one of the men, and the other man was standing a little off to the side.
Grimly he looked at one of the men and opened one of the year books. Flipping through pages and pages, he finally gave up and put that one away. Opening the other yearbook and flipping through a bit more, he had finally found what he wanted.
This is him. This looks exactly like him, just a little younger. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About halfway across the bridge Kagome had stumbled off the railing, and Hojo caught her safely.
"Wow, that was great!" Kagome cried with a big smile on her face.
"It was dangerous!"
Swiftly changing the subject, Kagome said, " Can't wait for radio tomorrow!"
"Yeah."
Hmm. Why is Hojo so strange? This isn't the first time I crossed the bridge like that.
"Thanks for walking me home, Hojo!"
"Yeah... See you tomorrow."
After dinner and homework, or an attempt to homework, Kagome phoned Sango and told her about the strangeness of the two boys.
"See, I told you Hojo liked you!" Sango exclaimed.
"How does Hojo being upset over my 100th bridge stunt make us couples?" Kagome demanded, glaring at the phone as if that was Sango.
"Whatever. Well, at least you're telling me why you ditched us before school and lunch."
"Why? Don't like being alone with Miroku?"
I swear, Sango thought, why does Kagome always think we're more than friends? We are just really good friends, that's all. I know Miroku isn't ready for a committed relationship. Gosh!
"Well, I gotta go now. See ya!" With that, Kagome ended her conversation with her best friend.
I wonder what Inu-yasha was doing at the library.
Meanwhile, Inu-yasha was silently eating dinner alone, under the silent gaze of the large photo of his mother.
Hmm... My guess was correct. That picture matched the yearbook in the school library. I wonder if he really is my. could he really be? But she told me he was dead. That's a possibility, but I need to know! I need to go to the University next to the school tomorrow..
Hey!!! That's how it ends, for now. Please tell me if something doesn't make sense.
