Okay, I even think that chapter 2 was kind of scary. O.o I'll revise it later. . . I'm getting really lazy these days.
I'll admit it, Kagome REALLY changed, I never even saw it coming, I guess I had to in order for the title to match the story. . . I still think it needs more work, if you think I should take out something, don't be afraid to tell me in the review '
And if you haven't noticed, Inuyasha is in his human form hint hint
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Inuyasha, I own nothing what so ever that relates to Inuyasha, except for a couple of DVDs, manga, CDs, and posters.

Chapter 3: Eight Times
Story so far: Kagome and Yuzuki fight it out in a one on one fight as Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku watch on. Inuyasha sees something in Kagome's eyes, he remembers it from somewhere but he doesn't know where.
Kagome watched Yuzuki lay on the ground holding her face.
"What, Kaneda? Done so soon?" Kagome said flatly as she watch Yuzuki roll on the ground in pain.
". . . Yeah, that's the last beating I'll ever take from you. . ." Yuzuki said getting up slowly. There was blood dripping from Yuzuki's nose and onto the ground.
Kagome raised an eyebrow, "LAST beating? Who do you think you're kidding!?" Kagome said practically laughing.
"Is the fight always like this?" Miroku asked Sango.
"Well, most of the times . . ." Sango said still watching closely.
"Why are you concentrating so hard on the battle?" Miroku asked again.
"Yuzuki is known for pulling of cheap shots in the midst of a fight." Sango said still watching.
"What kind of 'cheap shots'?" Inuyasha asked looking at Sango.
"Usually Yuzuki challenges Kagome and she kind o f. . . how do you say this, 'sets up' the field. It's the only way she can win . . . Either that or she would do something to stall her while she beats 'em." Sango said watching for anything strange on their battle field.
'It's not that I can't smell or hear anything strange . . .' Inuyasha thought to himself.
Before Kagome could make her next move, Yuzuki threw a handful of dirt in her face to blind her.
"THE BITCH!!!" Sango said running from her hiding spot.
"Sango! Wait!" Miroku called out trying to call her back.
"She said she could fight didn't she?" Inuyasha said turning his attention to Sango running at high speed up to Yuzuki.
"You son of a bitch!" Sango yelled at Yuzuki. Yuzuki turned around only to see an angered Sango's fist coming into her face.
Sango's fist drove straight into Yuzuki's nose. "Is this the only way you can manage to win against Kagome!?" Sango said enraged that she pulled off something like that. 'I knew it! It wasn't as bad as last time, but she did it again!' Sango thought to herself as she stood over the injured Yuzuki.
"Uh . . . that was a cheap shot?" Miroku said to Inuyasha confused once more.
"Yeah, technically, they fight with honor, something that you don't cheat out. Yuzuki just cheated it." Inuyasha said watching Sango bash Yuzuki.
"I must admit, it's quite entertaining. . ." Miroku said watching the three girls beef/fight.
"Yeah, kind of, we haven't fought for a while, huh?"
"Yup, that's only because everyone knows not to mess with us anymore." Miroku reassured him by patting him on the back.
"Calm down, Sango." Kagome tried to calm down Sango while rubbing the last bit of dirt out of her eyes.
"C'mon Kagome, just one more hit! That was a fucking cheap shot!" Sango said preparing her fists.
"That Sango is practically uncontrollable when she's pissed." Inuyasha said surprised how fast she got there. 'Not bad for a human I must admit.'
"Maybe now we should help." Miroku suggested, "Nothing better to do anyways, besides, I think our class left us."
"Really?" Inuyasha said looking at his watch {{ everyone has a watch -- }}
"Yup, I'm pretty damn sure."
Inuyasha sighed, "If you say so." He said getting up and started walking towards the fight.
"Sango, calm down!" Kagome said trying to stop her from bashing Yuzuki. "It's not that I don't want you to hit her (I wouldn't mind) but calm down!" Kagome tried to calm her down again.
"All I ask is for ONE damn hit!" Sango said forcing her way through Kagome.
"-Hey!-" A boy's voice called out from the side wall of the temple.
"Who the fuck are you?" Sango said unable to control her anger.
"Tch, I'm Kaneda's friend." The boy spat on the ground. Then five more boys came up behind him, all school boys.
"Damn, Miroku, those are the assholes from our class right?" Inuyasha said still running towards the fight.
"I believe so; you don't really pay attention do you? You don't even know who's in our class!" Miroku said running along side Inuyasha.
"Feh, whatever. Let's go!" Inuyasha said with a burst of speed.
"Damn, I wish I could run that fast . . ." Miroku mumbled as he began to pick up his running speed.
"Like I give a-" Kagome started to yell at Yuzuki's "friend."
"-Hey!-" Inuyasha yelled from behind the three girls. 'Why is it always "Hey!"!?' Kagome thought to herself lamely, 'O well, not the time to be thinking about that. . .'
"Do you know them?" Kagome said trying to calm down.
"Our classmates . . ." Miroku said as he caught up.
"I see . . . whose side are you on?" Sango asked finally calm.
"'Who's side?'!? Fuck, on that fucker's side!? Tch, yeah, when hell freezes over!" Inuyasha spat.
"Agreed then." Kagome nodded as she focused her attention to Yuzuki's friends.
Yuzuki got up, "You guys are late!" She said turning around.
"We showed up, didn't we?" The leader said, "Oh, hello Inuyasha, Miroku. Never saw you there."
"Shut up you pussy! Are we gonna do this or what!?" Inuyasha yelled in his face.
"Heh, yeah, whatever."
"Let's go, Saito, you and me. I'll kick your ass!" Inuyasha got into a stance. Kagome raised an eyebrow, 'Interesting stance . . .' She thought as another boy approached her.
"Are you the one who beat up Yuzuki?" He asked slowly.
Kagome looked at him in the eyes, "And if I am?" She asked coldly. Her eyes were like ice again.
The guy kind of freaked, "Th-then you're gonna get some, girl!" He said getting into a stance.
Kagome said nothing and just stared at him, ". . . Well? I'm waiting." Kagome replied as she just stood there, not even in a stance.
The boy grimaced and yelled as he ran towards Kagome preparing to hit her in the face. As his fist drove closer to her face, Kagome just put up a hand. He ignored it and continued to drive his hand.
When his hand came in contact with Kagome's hand, he completely stopped. She blocked his punch with her hand. He stood there shocked; he pushed his hand harder into her hand. 'What the fuck?' He thought to himself, Kagome's hand completely stopped his fist, it wouldn't budge. Kagome just grinned and took a step to the side and removed her hand. The man fell face flat into the ground.
"-Higurashi! Muraki! Kaneda! What are you doing!?-" Ms. Sugawara yelled at the top of her lungs from the main steps of the temple. The three turned their attention to the angered teacher walking towards them. Kagome's eyes were still ice cold. She stared at the teacher and did nothing.
The boy got up and took advantage of the situation and punched Kagome right in the cheek. "Heh, that'll teach ya." He said proud of himself. Kagome took a step back to balance herself; she looked up at him and glared but still said nothing.
"Excuse me, young man! Just what exactly are you doing!?" Ms. Sugawara yelled as she stepped between Kagome and the man. "What are you doing!?" She repeated herself.
"Self defense, ma'am." He said straightening up.
"Yeah right! I didn't see her doing anything to you!" She yelled again.
"Well, ma'am, you didn't see what happened earlier."
Ms. Sugawara turned around to face Kagome; she was just holding her cheek. "Well, I don't see anything wrong . . . The only thing I see wrong is a student like you bashing high school girls!" She said spitting into his face.
"How come our teachers aren't like that? They don't give a rat's ass what happens to us! " Inuyasha said to Miroku.
"Damn, there's a dedicated teacher for you." He replied.
"All of you! Come with me RIGHT now!!!" Ms. Sugawara yelled at everyone there. "That's right, Miss Kaneda, you too!"
Yuzuki rolled her eyes and got up holding her wounds.
"And don't think that I didn't see that!" Ms. Sugawara yelled again.
[At Kagome's school office]
"So, let me get this straight, ALL of you were in a fight!?" Ms. Sugawara said again.
"That is correct, ma'am." Kagome said calmly.
"Miss Higurashi, how many times did this happen already!?" Ms. Sugawara said enraged.
Everyone besides Kagome was standing in the back of the room listening.
"Eight times total, ma'am." She replied.
"Eight times!? Jeez" Miroku whispered to Inuyasha.
"Tell me about it" Inuyasha replied.
"You two back there! Step forward NOW!" Ms. Sugawara said clearly enraged at all eleven students, six not even from her school. "Is this correct: You two ditched your group, sat on the grass, and watched Miss Higurashi and Miss Kaneda FIGHT!?"
"That is correct, ma'am." Miroku said straightening his back.
"I'll have to speak to your principal about this . . . But for now, Miss Higurashi, Miss Muraki, Miss Kaneda, Mr. Nomura, and Mr. Orita, please wait outside." She said shaking her head. "The rest of you stay here."
{{ Higurashi=Kagome, Muraki=Sango, Nomura=Inuyasha, Orita=Miroku . weird, I know, help me out here! }}
"This bites." Kagome said as she sat down on a chair in the hall. "I'm gonna get expelled."
"Heh, me too, for being 'involved' in all eight fights." Sango said not even worried. "I honestly think that they should've expelled us a long time ago."
"It's not that bad, I got expelled three times already." Inuyasha replied as he sat down across from Kagome and Sango.
Miroku let out a sigh, "I'll probably get expelled too." Miroku said putting his head down, "it's a first for me."
"I said: 'It's not that bad'." Inuyasha said again adding the 'are-you- deaf-or-something?' tone.
Miroku sighed again, "So much for my reputation. . ."
"Fuck the damn reputation." Inuyasha said completely ignoring the fact that there was a teacher in the room behind them.
"Well, I guess my parents will be sending me to that . . . school. What's its name, Sango?" Kagome asked relaxed.
"Uh . . . I forget, something like. . . I dunno, some sort of really strict school, that's all I remember. Sorry Kago, I can't remember." Sango said losing her thought.
"That's okay; all I know is its going to be one hell of a crappy school." Kagome replied.
"Yeah, my parents said if I get expelled one more time they'll send me to a school like that." Inuyasha said slumped over in two chairs.
"Kagome, are you okay? That guy hit you pretty hard." Sango said trying to change the subject.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I forgot about that." Kagome touched her cheek. She could taste blood all over her mouth. "Gah, I've had worse."
"Glad to hear it." Miroku said calmly, "Inuyasha and I haven't gotten into any fights lately, that's probably why we haven't been expelled yet."
Inuyasha just laughed, "It's probably true anyways."
Just then Ms. Sugawara came outside with the other six students behind her. "Ahem, as you probably guessed, all of you will be expelled."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, lady, it was decided that quickly!?" Inuyasha said not shocked at all of them being expelled, but at the fact of how quickly it was determined.
"Yes, and I do have a name, and it's not 'lady'. We, the teachers from your schools, will decide on a school all of you will be attending. You are all high achievers, just trouble makers, that's all." Everyone was shocked at the news, they never heard of teachers picking a school for the students. "For the time being, you may go home, but Miss Kaneda, you stay."
Everyone got up to go home, Kagome was silent, 'I wonder what school they'll send us to . . . I hope I'm not with that bitch . . . wait a minute, US!?' She said to herself, 'They're going to send ALL of us to the same school!? What the hell is wrong with the world today?' Kagome thought while slapping herself mentally. Inuyasha was still wondering about that image he saw earlier today. He knew he saw it somewhere before but he didn't know where.
"Hey, Kagome," Miroku interrupted her thoughts.
"Uh- Yeah?"
"You work at a dojo, right?" Miroku asked curiously.
"Yeah, a shrine and a dojo," Kagome said wondering why he was . . . well, wondering; "the dojo was just made recently, they also opened up some classes there."
"What shrine?" Inuyasha asked getting curious himself.
"The Higurashi Shrine," Kagome said flatly, 'DUH! It's in my frikkin name for god's sakes!'
"Well, its 11:48 . . . And I don't think I want to go home." Sango said looking at her watch. "My parents will kill me."
"Hey, wanna stay at my place for the night? It's near by." Kagome suggested, "And that could be the reason why we were out late!" Kagome liked having her friends ditching the house to come over and hang.
"Sounds good, I'll leave a message on the message machine. And if they ask where I was, it's their fault for not checking the machine." Sango winked and got out her cell phone and started dialing.
"We won't get a pleasant welcome home either . . ." Miroku sighed.
'If he's suggesting that we stay the night at a girl's house we just met, no fucking way.' Inuyasha thought.
"Uh, hold on, just a se-" Inuyasha began.
"You guys can stay too if you want I guess." Kagome said. 'So much for that. . .' Inuyasha made a face. {{ A face kind of like this: --; hahaha }}
"Oh, you're to kind. I'll call my parents too I guess." Miroku said getting out his phone. 'Mother of Demons save me. . . I'm not sleeping in the same house as Miroku!' Inuyasha thought to himself again.
"Good thing it's Friday, I can make us a late dinner. Are you going to stay too, Inuyasha? We have a lot of rooms." Kagome stated.
"Uh, n-no, I got some work to do at home." Inuyasha lied.
"Inuyasha, you're such a crappy liar." Miroku shook his head.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "Keh, yeah, whatever."
"It's not like you do your work anyways . . . or is it a different kind of work." Miroku smiled evilly.
Inuyasha punched Miroku in the shoulder, and muttered something in a different language.
"Now, now my friend, don't be so cruel." Miroku said rubbing his shoulder.
"Fine . . ."
"That's good to hear." He patted Inuyasha on the head, and got his hand slapped in return. "Your parents won't mind us staying?" Miroku asked rubbing his hand.
"Actually let's get there faster, it's getting late." Sango changed the subject almost instantly.
"I agree, let's go." Kagome said walking faster. 'Change of subject, quicken in speed, ice cold eyes? What's she hiding? Who is she?' Inuyasha wondered, then mentally slapped himself for thinking too much.
"Well, we're here." Kagome said.
"How could we ever repay you?" Miroku said relieved to get away from home.
"You could repay me by enjoying your stay." Kagome smiled. 'A fake smile . . .' Inuyasha thought.
"Of course, why would we not enjoy our stay? Isn't that right, Inuyasha?" Miroku emphasized Inuyasha's name to get his attention.
"Y-yeah," Inuyasha hesitated.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Sango said happily and started to walk into the shrine.
"Damn! This place is huge!" Inuyasha said clearly surprised at the size of the temple.
"Uh, do any of you feel like freshening up?" Kagome said quietly.
"Sure," Sango agreed, "Where are the showers?"
"Wow, Sango, you haven't been here a while, huh?" Kagome smiled again.
"Hahaha, nope." Sango smiled back.
"We don't have showers here, just springs. VERY expensive so you better enjoy it." Kagome kept smiling.
"Oh we will," Miroku said smiling even more than Kagome was.
"Uh, you shouldn't let him near the springs when there's a girl inside. He's a real pervert" Inuyasha told the two girls.
"Thanks for the warning," Sango watched Miroku carefully.
"Eheheh . . . heh . . ." Miroku sweat dropped.
"As you probably noticed, Sango hates perverts," Kagome replied, "but you guys must be hungry, I'll start cooking. . . err. . . 'Dinner' then."
Sango went to the springs and Miroku had to wait his turn.
"Inuyasha? You don't want to freshen up?" Kagome asked from the kitchen.
"Nah," he replied trying to make himself comfortable.
"Inuyasha, why don't you give Kagome a hand in the kitchen? " Miroku whispered.
"What makes you think that I can cook!? " Inuyasha whispered back.
"Have I ever told you that you're a crappy liar? " Miroku told him once more.
"Fine, fine, fine, I'll go. . . you stupid monk"
"Don't worry, I heard that." Miroku said smiling.
"Feh."
"Yo, Kagome?" Inuyasha popped his head into the kitchen.
"What?" She answered from the closet.
"Do you need a hand?" Inuyasha asked, 'I'll fucking kill that monk for this.'
"Uh, sure, if you're not busy."
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" Inuyasha said unsure.
"Let's see . . ." Kagome started as she came out of the closet, "we're kind of low on food and I'm not the best cook."
"-Do you guys need help?-" This time Miroku popped his head into the kitchen.
"Well, Miroku, we have a food crisis." Inuyasha said turning his attention to Miroku.
Miroku smiled, "Miss Kagome, would you let Inuyasha and I handle this meal?"
"Uh, s-sure. Are you sure?" Kagome asked very confused.
"Of course, maybe this is our way of repaying you for the nights rest." Miroku shot a glance at Inuyasha who was already glaring at him, "Eheheh, isn't that right, Inuyasha?"
"Keh, yeah, fine."
"Okay, on one condition though." Kagome said.
"And that'd be?" Miroku asked.
"Don't burn the shrine down . . ."
Miroku smiled and nodded.
"Kagome! I thought you were cooking!" Sango said as she came into the main room, "What's happening?" She said as she was drying her hair.
"You can think of it as: 'they kicked me out of the kitchen so they can cook dinner, in a way repaying me for the night.'" Kagome took a deep breath; she managed to say all of that in one breath.
"Okay, if you're sure."
A/N: Meh... junk revisions... save me! TT
Okay, I even think that chapter 2 was kind of scary. O.o I'll revise it later. . . I'm getting really lazy these days.
I'll admit it, Kagome REALLY changed, I never even saw it coming, I guess I had to in order for the title to match the story. . . I still think it needs more work, if you think I should take out something, don't be afraid to tell me in the review '

"That's okay; all I know is its going to be one hell of a crappy school." Kagome replied.
"Yeah, my parents said if I get expelled one more time they'll send me to a school like that." Inuyasha said slumped over in two chairs.
"Kagome, are you okay? That guy hit you pretty hard." Sango said trying to change the subject.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I forgot about that." Kagome touched her cheek. She could taste blood all over her mouth. "Gah, I've had worse."
"Glad to hear it." Miroku said calmly, "Inuyasha and I haven't gotten into any fights lately, that's probably why we haven't been expelled yet."
Inuyasha just laughed, "It's probably true anyways."
Just then Ms. Sugawara came outside with the other six students behind her. "Ahem, as you probably guessed, all of you will be expelled."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, lady, it was decided that quickly!?" Inuyasha said not shocked at all of them being expelled, but at the fact of how quickly it was determined.
"Yes, and I do have a name, and it's not 'lady'. We, the teachers from your schools, will decide on a school all of you will be attending. You are all high achievers, just trouble makers, that's all." Everyone was shocked at the news, they never heard of teachers picking a school for the students. "For the time being, you may go home, but Miss Kaneda, you stay."
Everyone got up to go home, Kagome was silent, 'I wonder what school they'll send us to . . . I hope I'm not with that bitch . . . wait a minute, US!?' She said to herself, 'They're going to send ALL of us to the same school!? What the hell is wrong with the world today?' Kagome thought while slapping herself mentally. Inuyasha was still wondering about that image he saw earlier today. He knew he saw it somewhere before but he didn't know where.
"Hey, Kagome," Miroku interrupted her thoughts.
"Uh- Yeah?"
"You work at a dojo, right?" Miroku asked curiously.
"Yeah, a shrine and a dojo," Kagome said wondering why he was . . . well, wondering; "the dojo was just made recently, they also opened up some classes there."
"What shrine?" Inuyasha asked getting curious himself.
"The Higurashi Shrine," Kagome said flatly, 'DUH! It's in my frikkin name for god's sakes!'
"Well, its 11:48 . . . And I don't think I want to go home." Sango said looking at her watch. "My parents will kill me."
"Hey, wanna stay at my place for the night? It's near by." Kagome suggested, "And that could be the reason why we were out late!" Kagome liked having her friends ditching the house to come over and hang.
"Sounds good, I'll leave a message on the message machine. And if they ask where I was, it's their fault for not checking the machine." Sango winked and got out her cell phone and started dialing.
"We won't get a pleasant welcome home either . . ." Miroku sighed.
'If he's suggesting that we stay the night at a girl's house we just met, no fucking way.' Inuyasha thought.
"Uh, hold on, just a se-" Inuyasha began.
"You guys can stay too if you want I guess." Kagome said. 'So much for that. . .' Inuyasha made a face. {{ A face kind of like this: --; hahaha }}
"Oh, you're to kind. I'll call my parents too I guess." Miroku said getting out his phone. 'Mother of Demons save me. . . I'm not sleeping in the same house as Miroku!' Inuyasha thought to himself again.
"Good thing it's Friday, I can make us a late dinner. Are you going to stay too, Inuyasha? We have a lot of rooms." Kagome stated.
"Uh, n-no, I got some work to do at home." Inuyasha lied.
"Inuyasha, you're such a crappy liar." Miroku shook his head.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "Keh, yeah, whatever."
"It's not like you do your work anyways . . . or is it a different kind of work." Miroku smiled evilly.
Inuyasha punched Miroku in the shoulder, and muttered something in a different language.
"Now, now my friend, don't be so cruel." Miroku said rubbing his shoulder.
"Fine . . ."
"That's good to hear." He patted Inuyasha on the head, and got his hand slapped in return. "Your parents won't mind us staying?" Miroku asked rubbing his hand.
"Actually let's get there faster, it's getting late." Sango changed the subject almost instantly.
"I agree, let's go." Kagome said walking faster. 'Change of subject, quicken in speed, ice cold eyes? What's she hiding? Who is she?' Inuyasha wondered, then mentally slapped himself for thinking too much.
"Well, we're here." Kagome said.
"How could we ever repay you?" Miroku said relieved to get away from home.
"You could repay me by enjoying your stay." Kagome smiled. 'A fake smile . . .' Inuyasha thought.
"Of course, why would we not enjoy our stay? Isn't that right, Inuyasha?" Miroku emphasized Inuyasha's name to get his attention.
"Y-yeah," Inuyasha hesitated.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Sango said happily and started to walk into the shrine.
"Damn! This place is huge!" Inuyasha said clearly surprised at the size of the temple.
"Uh, do any of you feel like freshening up?" Kagome said quietly.
"Sure," Sango agreed, "Where are the showers?"
"Wow, Sango, you haven't been here a while, huh?" Kagome smiled again.
"Hahaha, nope." Sango smiled back.
"We don't have showers here, just springs. VERY expensive so you better enjoy it." Kagome kept smiling.
"Oh we will," Miroku said smiling even more than Kagome was.
"Uh, you shouldn't let him near the springs when there's a girl inside. He's a real pervert" Inuyasha told the two girls.
"Thanks for the warning," Sango watched Miroku carefully.
"Eheheh . . . heh . . ." Miroku sweat dropped.
"As you probably noticed, Sango hates perverts," Kagome replied, "but you guys must be hungry, I'll start cooking. . . err. . . 'Dinner' then."
Sango went to the springs and Miroku had to wait his turn.
"Inuyasha? You don't want to freshen up?" Kagome asked from the kitchen.
"Nah," he replied trying to make himself comfortable.
"Inuyasha, why don't you give Kagome a hand in the kitchen? " Miroku whispered.
"What makes you think that I can cook!? " Inuyasha whispered back.
"Have I ever told you that you're a crappy liar? " Miroku told him once more.
"Fine, fine, fine, I'll go. . . you stupid monk"
"Don't worry, I heard that." Miroku said smiling.
"Feh."
"Yo, Kagome?" Inuyasha popped his head into the kitchen.
"What?" She answered from the closet.
"Do you need a hand?" Inuyasha asked, 'I'll fucking kill that monk for this.'
"Uh, sure, if you're not busy."
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" Inuyasha said unsure.
"Let's see . . ." Kagome started as she came out of the closet, "we're kind of low on food and I'm not the best cook."
"-Do you guys need help?-" This time Miroku popped his head into the kitchen.
"Well, Miroku, we have a food crisis." Inuyasha said turning his attention to Miroku.
Miroku smiled, "Miss Kagome, would you let Inuyasha and I handle this meal?"
"Uh, s-sure. Are you sure?" Kagome asked very confused.
"Of course, maybe this is our way of repaying you for the nights rest." Miroku shot a glance at Inuyasha who was already glaring at him, "Eheheh, isn't that right, Inuyasha?"
"Keh, yeah, fine."
"Okay, on one condition though." Kagome said.
"And that'd be?" Miroku asked.
"Don't burn the shrine down . . ."
Miroku smiled and nodded.
"Kagome! I thought you were cooking!" Sango said as she came into the main room, "What's happening?" She said as she was drying her hair.
"You can think of it as: 'they kicked me out of the kitchen so they can cook dinner, in a way repaying me for the night.'" Kagome took a deep breath; she managed to say all of that in one breath.
"Okay, if you're sure."
