Disclaimer: Once again, I don't own any part of Inuyasha.



Chapter 2

*~

The next day, Kagome's alarm clock rang at six. In hearing this, Inuyasha picked up the alarm clock and tossed it onto the floor without even turning around to look at it.

"Just to tell you, I still need that alarm clock Inuyasha," Kagome said as she started to stir to start her day.

"But it's annoying and it woke me up," Inuyasha replied with a slight hint of annoyance in his voice.

"That's the point of an alarm clock. It's supposed to wake you up," Kagome said as she was brushing her hair. She went to the bathroom to see how she looked. After spending a few more minutes in there brushing her hair, she ran back to her room, grabbed her things she needed for school and ran downstairs. A few seconds later, she ran back upstairs, grabbed Inuyasha, who was still half asleep, and pulled him downstairs with her.

"Hey! Why do I have to go downstairs?!" Inuyasha retaliated as he was being pulled by Kagome down the stairs.

"Because, were having breakfast and it would be impolite if I left you upstairs by yourself," Kagome said to him in reply.

"Did you ever take into consideration that I may have been sleeping?!"

"You were sleeping?"

Kagome stopped and looked back at Inuyasha, who gave her a look that clearly said Just drop the subject. Kagome just shrugged and just motioned to Inuyasha to follow her to the kitchen. Spotting a note on the fridge, Kagome went over and plucked the note off the fridge and read it to herself.

Kagome, grandpa got sick last night while you were out. Sota stayed over at a friend's house last night and after school will be dropped off at the hospital. Even though I am not at home, I don't want you going back to the well until finals are OVER, other than that, good luck with your finals today. Help yourself to some breakfast. Love, mom.

"Well, it looks like it's just me here for a few days," Kagome said to herself as she got some food out for her and Inuyasha.

"What do you mean just you?! I'm stayin' here with you Kagome!"

Kagome turned around and saw the look in the hanyou's eyes and saw that he wasn't kidding.

"You'll stay with me until my mother gets back from the hospital?"

"What else am I suppose to do, leave you alone here to fend for yourself?! Yea right!" Inuyasha said to her in response. Kagome rolled her eyes at this. "Someday Inuyasha, your cockiness is going to get us killed." After this, she turned around and finished getting breakfast for her and Inuyasha. Seeing the time on the stove, she gasped in surprise.

"What is it now Kagome?" Inuyasha asked with, yet again, a slight annoyance in his voice.

"School starts in 15 minutes!!" Kagome yelled as she grabbed her things and rushed out the door, leaving Inuyasha standing in the kitchen. Inuyasha ran out of the house with such speed, that the front door of the house shut on its own. He spotted Kagome running down the many steps that lead up to the shrine that her family lived in. Inuyasha jumped over the many steps. While on his way down, he grabbed Kagome and landed with ease before the beginning of the steps.

"Get on my back. I'll get you to school faster than you can run," Inuyasha said in a normal voice.

Kagome got on his back and squeezed his shoulder to signal him that he could go. Inuyasha had to be careful that he didn't reveal himself to the city, so he jumped from building top to building top until he reached Kagome's school. He spotted a safe place where he could put Kagome down. Inuyasha ran toward that direction at a fast speed so that no one could see them. When he reached his destination, Kagome got down off his back.

"Thank You Inuyasha. Now you can either wait here until I get out of school or you can-"

"I don't mind waiting here," Inuyasha said in a rough voice. Kagome rolled her eyes once again and smiled. "Then I'll see you in a few hours," she said before leaning over and kissing him on the cheek, which caught Inuyasha completely off guard. "Bye Inuyasha," Kagome said as she ran off toward her classroom, leaving a bewildered Inuyasha standing dead in his tracks.

"Man, if I didn't have this final, I would've fallen asleep," Kagome thought to herself as she looked out the window. She smiled at her last thought. "It's been awhile since I've been able to think of that. Have I really been away that long?"

"Miss Higurashi! Please pay attention to your test."

"Yes sir." "Oh well, that's one thing I DON'T miss."

Soon enough, school was let out early due to the fact that it was finals week. Kagome went around to the back of the school to where Inuyasha dropped her off that morning. She looked up into the trees and found him sitting on the branches in his usual "lounging" positions.

"Hey Inuyasha, school let out early due to finals, we can go home now," Kagome said.

Inuyasha jumped down from the tree and motioned to Kagome to get on his back.

"Ok Inuyasha, we have to get out of here quickly so my friends don't ambush me with questions about my many absents' and why I don't like Hojo," Kagome said as she climbed onto her back.

"Why would they ambush you with questions like that?"

"Because.well.they're thinking there's something seriously wrong with me because I'm daydreaming in the middle of class and that they see some strange things written on some of my math papers."

"Like what?" Inuyasha asked in a stern voice. Just as he said this, Kagome's friends rounded the corner.

"I'll show you when we get back to my house, just go already!" Kagome yelled in a whisper. Inuyasha then leapt into the air, leaving Kagome's friends staring into the sky.

"Was that just Kagome on some strange guy's back?"

"Come on Yuka, you know Kagome's not like that."

"I sure hope she's not like that," Yuka said as she and the other two other girls continued on their way back to their homes.

*~

"Oh god that was close," Kagome said as she walked through the front door with Inuyasha not that far behind her.

"Ok, now show me the math paper with the strange writings on it," Inuyasha asked her as he shut the door behind him.

"Oh, it's no big deal, there's just some pointless things written on it," Kagome said, slightly nervous.

"Kagome, you promised you'd show me when we got ho- hey! Where are you going?!" Inuyasha yelled as Kagome ran upstairs laughing.

"I told you, there's nothing that big of a deal written on it," Kagome said as she waived the piece of paper at Inuyasha, who jumped up the stairs. Noticing this, she ran laughing into her room and pounced onto the bed.

"Don't make me pull that piece of paper out of your hands Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled at her.

"But first, you have to catch me!" Kagome said, laughing a little. Inuyasha smirked as he tackled her onto her bed and pinned her down.

"Heh, that was easy, now let me see the paper," Inuyasha said as he looked down at her.

"How bout not," Kagome said as she crumpled the piece of paper in one hand and tossed it into her trash can across the room.

"Hey, I actually made it this time!" Kagome exclaimed as the paper hit the bottom of the trash can. She turned her attention to the hanyou who was pinning her down. "What was so important that you have to read the little notes I scribble on my math pape- hey! Don't be going through that!" Kagome exclaimed as she tried to prevent Inuyasha from finding that math paper with the "strange writings" on it. Inuyasha uncrumpled the piece of paper and scanned over it. His eyes widened as he saw a certain message written on the side of the paper.

"Kagome," Inuyasha began. "Can you explain this?"

I need some more reviews in order to have Chapter three, but there's no limit, Until then, see ya!
