Just a day, just an, ordinary day Just tryin' to get by Just a boy, just an, ordinary boy but He was looking to the sky and As he asked if I would come along I started to realize that everyday he finds just what he's lookin' for And like a shooting star he shines, and he said.

The song echoed in her head, pounding in her ears. Her gaze was drifting to out the window, where she could see part of the shrine. Looking at the old wooden house made a sigh escape soft cherry lips, and raven-black hair dance at her shoulders. She ripped her gaze from the window, and tried to do her homework. But the lines and numbers became nothing to her as if their meaning escaped her. Instead, she took up her mechanical pencil to start, but when it touched the paper, a sketch of the well and all her thoughts were scratched out on the piece. In her minds eye, she could see the note from her mother still on the table, explaining she was out grocery shopping.

And that meant Kagome was the only one at home.

With a loud sigh of exasperation, Inuyasha floated into her mind again. The song she had played for the last hour had stopped, but the words still hung in her mind. That ordinary day had changed her life forever, and all because of him, an ordinary hanyou boy, whose vocabulary was nothing philosophical, but contained of more things like 'Feh!'. But she couldn't get him out of her head. He was all she could think about, even if she passed it off with 'He's so annoying, it's hard not to!' For the first time, she started to realize it, but she one more shook it off. She was imagining things. The words of the songs floated to her lips,

"Just a day, just an, ordinary day Just tryin' to get by Just a boy, just an, ordinary boy but He was looking to the sky."

She crumpled up her math paper and hurled it into the trash can. She was getting a headache, and wanted to see Sango and Shippou and Miroku (slightly, in the least) and Inuyasha. She picked up her bag, stuffed it with some essentials, and ran downstairs. She scribbled a note to her mom, and ran to the well house. With a deep breath, she tiptoed down the stairs and leaped in.

Sango sighed, slowly eating her noodles. The warm soup soothed her head a bit, and she stayed far away from Miroku, who sighed as he too heard the annoyance in Inuyasha's voice. Shippou sat by Kirara, and was smiling because had finished his soup. The fire burnt low as dusk settled in, and stars gleamed through moonlit clouds. They weren't far away from the well, because Inuyasha had muttered something about 'Needing to protect the little wench if she comes back, or she'll get herself killed and then we won't be able to find the shards.'.

Inuyasha's ears twitched slightly. Was it her? No, it was only cricket. Damn bugs. He sighed, and finished his fifth bowl of noodles, stubbornly telling himself that they needed to find more jewel shards, and they couldn't without her. As the darkness began to overtake the small fire, he turned around and said,

"Go to sleep. I'll watch for her."

Sango eyed Miroku warily, inching farther away, before falling into a light sleep. She was safe for the moment, anyway: Miroku was out cold. It left Inuyasha as the only one up. He wasn't tired, and he hated sitting on the ground, so he made his way up a very large tree, sitting on the top with his knife-like claws sticking into the soft wood.

After a few minutes, his ears pricked up, and his eyes scanned the night. He smelled Kagome.
