I'm sick of writing disclaimers, so just assume I don't own it, ok?

Chapter 10

"It's raining?!" Kagome exclaimed. "Can this day get worse?"

Earlier that day

"Where's that stupid alarm clock!?" Kagome screamed looking for the alarm clock that was buzzing like nothing you could imagine. "AAH! Shut up, you stupid thing!"

Kagome rummaged through her room, finding nothing. She finally looked under her bed and uncovered the clock buzzing 'Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up: it's time to wake up now! Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!'

"Finally!" Kagome hit the button on the top of the clock, but it still buzzed 'Wake up!' She got so fed up with the clock that she took out the batteries and threw it against the wall. Only then did she realize that she wasted 20 minutes that she needed to get ready for school. She quickly threw on her uniform, brushed her hair, and bolted out the door, racing against the clock.

Present

Kagome came across Keiko, bragging about winning the Best Production award the day before.

"I spoke too soon." Kagome said to herself.

"Hey, Kagome, need an umbrella?" asked Hojo, one of the most timid guys in school.

"She's fine." Inu-Yasha answered for her, stepping out of nowhere and sharing his umbrella with her.

"Thanks anyway, Hojo," she replied, "it's nice that you thought of me."

"Yeah. I'll see you around." Hojo said. He left, feeling a little rejected. Everyone knew that he had a crush on Kagome, but was too shy to act on it.

"Inu-Yasha? What do you think we'll do if it's raining? You don't think we'll have to do work?"

"Maybe, but we might just do something indoors today." He answered, walking with her to their homeroom.

"Yeah." Kagome snuggled close to him for warmth. He smiled down at her and kissed her softly.

~~

Hojo scowled, watching the sickeningly cute couple. 'That should be me.' He thought jealously.

~~

"I love you Kagome." Inu-Yasha whispered.

"I love you, too," she whispered back. They smiled at each other.

Almost the same thing happened a few meters away, with Sango and Miroku, only minus an envious Hojo.

"Hey guys," greeted a cheerful Sango.

"Hey. Can you believe it's raining during Spirit Week!?"

"I know! What if they have to cancel the activities?"

"Don't even think about it!" the girls conversed about the horrors of the storm, while the guys just talked about nothing in particular.

"So... it's raining. That sucks." Inu-Yasha remarked.

"Yeah, but still, some girls without umbrellas will be walking in wet T- shirts all day." Miroku said, daydreaming.

"Snap out of it, pervert. You have Sango, remember?"

"Oh, right."

~~

"Students, because of the current weather, we will not be able to complete the previous arrangements. Fortunately, you will not have to do any work. At the moment, we are not sure what to do, but we are sure that today will be very entertaining."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Kagome asked Sango softly.

"I don't know." Sango whispered back.

"Students, you can quietly talk among yourselves while I figure out what's going on." Ms. Akemi said to her class. She called the office and talked to the principal.

"Mr. Fujiwara, what am I supposed to do? My class is notoriously restless, and they'll need something to do, and soon."

"Ms. Akemi, none of us have any idea what to do! It's the first time that it has rained during Spirit Week."

"Mr. Fujiwara, this is my first year here, but I thought we were supposed to be fully prepared for situations like this."

"I know, Ms. Akemi, but this year, we had many other predicaments this year."

"Well what am I going to do? Ask the class for advice?"

"That's a great idea!"

"Mr. Fujiwara, I was being sarcastic!"

"Well, just see what the class comes up with!"

"Ok." Ms. Akemi replied. She put the phone back to the receiver and took a deep breath.

"Alright, class, it seems as though no one knows what to do at the office, so I'll just ask you guys. What do you want to do indoors today?"

"You mean we can do whatever we want?"

"No, I mean you can make suggestions of whatever you want."

"How about we just do what ever we want inside as long as we don't cause any trouble? Like we can read, play games, stuff like that."

"Not a bad idea, Sango."

"Thank you, Miss Akemi."

"How about a wet T-shirt contest?" (Guess who suggested that.)

"Shut up, Miroku." Sango said.

"You know, to add to Sango's idea, we can push the desks into tables, lay out some games, etc. to make this place seem less like a classroom."

"Good thinking, Kagome."

"Thank you."

"Now, does anyone object?"

"I still think a wet T-shirt contest would be fun." Miroku grumbled.

"Shut up!" Sango yelled. As she raised her fist to hit him, she looked over at Ms. Akemi for approval and her teacher nodded yes.

"Ow! Ms. Akemi, she hit me!"

"It's ok in her case."

"Everyone's against me." He mumbled.

"So it's decided. I'll call Mr. Fujiwara and we'll have a great time." Ms. Akemi said. She dialed the number on the old fashioned phone. "Mr. Fujiwara? We've decided on what to do for the day."

~~

Everyone was having a fair time. Sango and Miroku were playing chess, while Kagome and Inu-Yasha were playing Monopoly.

"You know, you are really bad at this game." Kagome said.

"But I sure am lucky. I landed on Free Parking 3 times."

"Luck is all it is."

A few games of Monopoly and a bottle of water later, Inu-Yasha and Kagome were getting a little bored, even though Miroku and Sango seemed to be having the time of their lives, playing chess.

"I can't believe it's already Spirit Week. It seems like yesterday me and Sango were enemies."

"Yeah, and you still liked Miroku." Inu-Yasha shuddered and Kagome laughed.

"And you were too afraid to admit you liked me."

"I'm not afraid now." He whispered. He leaned in to kiss her, and she kissed back. For a good 10 minutes or so, Kagome kept whispering things in Inu-Yasha's ear, and he kept chuckling. It was nauseatingly adorable. Finally, the lunch bell rang, and the students dashed out the door and headed for the cafeteria.

The rest of the day was pretty much the same: Inu-Yasha and Kagome whispering in each others' ears, Sango beating Miroku at chess and sharing a few kisses, etc.
