Chapter 6

Kagome limped into the house. "Hi, mom." Kagome yelled as she

ran past her mother who was hanging some clothes out on the line.

"Kagome?" her mom said as she followed Kagome into the kitchen."What

happened to your leg?" Kagome's mom asked. "Sorry. Can't talk right

now. Got to go." Kagome yelled from her bedroom. Kagome ran back out

into the kitchen, "Will you be home when I get back from school?"

Kagome asked as she grabbed her sack lunch out of the fridge. Kagome's

mom said, "I should be." "Great. I'll talk to you then. Bye," Kagome

said as she quickly left the house. Kagome's mother shook her head.

Kagome speed walk as fast as she could a few blocks until she was

almost to her school. Then, she walk. As she approached the school, she

looked down at her watch. 9:28. 'Good. I won't be late for my test in 2

minutes.' Kagome thought. She slowed down. As she walked up to her

school, she saw her friends running up to her. (Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi)

"Kagome, I see you have recovered from your Scleroderma." Yuka

squealed. Kagome thought, 'What is Scleroderma? Grandpa has done it

again.' Kagome said, "Uh, yeah." "So what does it feel like?" Ayumi

asked. Then the bell rang. 'Saved by the bell.'

Kagome thought. Kagome went to her locker. She put her bag up

and grabbed the book out of it. Then, she went to class. "Well, it's

about time you joined us." Kagome's teacher said. "Sorry, Mrs.

Waterman. I had Scleroderma." Mrs. Waterman smiled. "It's fine,

Kagome. You did know that we have a test in here, didn't you?" she

said. Kagome said, "Yeah, I'm ready for it." Mrs. Waterman passed out

the test to all of the students. Once Kagome got her test, she kept on

thinking about Inuyasha. 'What should I do? I know that when I get

there I'M going to be the one to apologize. What should I do about how

he's been acting lately?'

Kagome looked up at the clock. She had four minutes to finish

her fifty-five question test when she only had three questions done.

'Crap,' Kagome thought. She tried to hurry up and tried to finish her

test. "Time is up." Mrs. Waterman said. Kagome looked at her test. She

had thirty- seven questions done. Mrs. Waterman picked up all the test.

She looked through them. The bell rang. Kagome gathered all of her

things.

"Kagome, could I take a minute of your time?" Kagome sighed.

"Sure," Kagome said. She walked up to her desk. Mrs. Waterman waited

for everyone to clear the classroom. "Kagome, what's wrong? You didn't

finish your test." Kagome said, "My mind kept wandering somewhere else.

I couldn't concentrate." Mrs. Waterman smiled. "Since you have been

having such a rough time recently. I'll let you finish your test."

Kagome was really grateful. "Thank you, Mrs. Waterman." Kagome sat back

down and finished her test. At lunch break, Kagome's friends came to

her. "Hey Kagome. Have you heard about the dance that's going on

tonight?" Eri asked. "No," Kagome responded. "You should come to it.

We're going. You don't have to worry about a date." Yuka said. Kagome

said, "I'll pass. I haven't been feeling that great." Ayumi said, "I

feel sorry for you Kagome. You're always sick." Kagome shrugged. The

conversation went on.
