'Kagome! Grandpa, Kagome's back!' Souta cried. He reached down to help pull
her out of the well, joyfully hugging her.
'Oh Kagome I thought that the demon must have gotten you! You took so long!!!' he said into her shoulder, clutching her as though he thought she might disappear again. She hugged him back, smiling, but it was a weak smile.
'Inu Yasha rescued me, Souta- otherwise the demon might have eaten me. And I'm going to need a new shirt- this one's been chewed. . .' she shook her head in chagrin for her tattered state and slight amusement that she should be worrying about something so insignificant as a shirt after all that had happened.
'Let go, now, Souta sweety- I have to go take a bath and go to sleep. I'm so tired!'
'But Kagome- you have a test tomorrow, in math class! And Hojo brought your homework- he said you have to learn about the Feudal Era of Japan, and he says it's really hard to understand. He wanted to study with you tomorrow, after school. At his house, if you felt good. Kagome are you going to go?' Kagome groaned as his words hit her.
'Oh, no. . . Hojo! I don't want to study with him- he'll just add to my stress! And what about that math test? How will I ever study for it! I have to go read the whole chapter, and- wait. . . did you say, the _FEUDAL ERA_ is what we're studying in history??'
'Yes, Kagome! That's what Hojo said!' he sounded annoyed, as if she doubted his word.
'I just wanted to make sure that's what you said. . . well, at least maybe I'll pass one class! If I can't pass math this semester, at least I will do well in History. Now I'll go study for math, and-' as she walked off she stumbled and collapsed to the ground.
'KAGOME? Kagome, what's wrong?' asked Souta, crouching beside her. She tried to stand but lacked the energy. Three days without sleeping, and little to eat, and stress from the death of Kikyo, and the shock of Souta arriving, fighting the demon with a bit of a stick, and on top of everything, Inu Yasha asking her to be his mate all combined to exhaust her. She yawned hugely.
'I'm okay, Soutaaa-yawn- I just need to re-yawn- rest a bit and. . .' she collapsed, completely out of it.
'sssssssssssss' (Kagome doesn't snore. . . so I didn't use 'Zzzzzz' but you still get the idea :-) she's asleep)
'Um, Kagome? Ka-gooo-me? Hu-llo. . . Kagggooooome. . .' her brother said, waving his hand before her eyes. She blinked.
'Mmm? What dyou wan, Inu Yasha? Hmm- ssssss- no, I don't want my ramen you can have it. G'night. . . we'll chase down some big jewel shards tomorrow, huh? Yeah, I love you too. Good night. . .' she muttered, rolling over as her brother tried to shake her awake. He shook his head in amazement.
'How can anyone fall asleep that fast? Or at eight o'clock at night? Well, she'll be fine here while I go get Grandpa to help carry her back to bed.' He got up and went to find him.
