HI! I don't have anything to say, so I'll just write! Oh, I need * crawls * more * gasp * reviews…. * dies *

*******************

"Mo-m! I'm Ho~me!" Kagome bellowed at the top of her lungs into her quiet house.

"Kagome! How was your trip? Did you have fun? Want me to get a bath rea-"

"It's Ok! They're just contacts!"

Mrs. Higurashi relaxed slightly. "Oh, for a moment I thought you used that jewel to wish you had youkai blood, so you could live a longer life."

Kagome fell over. "Actually mom, that didn't happen." 'I asked for hanyou blood, heheh.'

"Well, dear I didn't expect you to lie" She said simply, taking Kagome's bag and setting it by the door. This gave Kagome a guilty lurch in her stomach.

"Hey mom?"

"Hai?"

"Is it okay if Inu-yasha comes to school with me?" She said this all really fast, avoiding her mothers gaze.

"I don't see why not…"

"Well, he'd have trouble fitting in, that's all…"

"Hanyou exist in our time too, I'm sure of it, it won't be that bad. If your brother thinks his ears and claws are cool, every one else should too, right?"

"Erm… okay." Kagome shuffled her feet on the rug and looked at her mom again. "Sooo, can I go get him?

"Eh? He's outside?"

"Uhhh yeah?"

Kagome's mom laughed silently. "Okay, sure, just make sure I can get a picture of him in our clothes."

Kagome giggled, and walked out the door again. "Inu-yasha!!!" She bellowed. "Get your butt down here!!!"

Kagome waited until her patience ended. "Inu-" A hand clamped over her mouth.

"What do you want, wench?" She glared at him, and she got a sly look on her face.

"OW!" She had bit him, hard. "That hurt!!"

"You're the one putting your hand in my mouth."

Inu-yasha just changed the subject. "So can I go? Can I go to this 'school' thing?"

"Yeah, my mom says yes…"

"And?"

"There's a drawback."

"And?"

"You can't wear your… Sengoku Jidai clothes…"

"What?!" He just glared holes in her head. "I have to wear those," He hissed, pointing at a near-by school boy walking home. He was wearing a black uniform, it buttoned to the top, with black pants.

"Maybe I'll just-"

"No, you are coming with me whether you like it or not."

"Damn!"

"Inu-yasha!"

"What, don't I say that all the time?"

"Yeah, but.... but if mom heard..." She trailed off, letting in a dramatic silence.

"Feh!" Inu-yasha took his usual pose, one leg crossed over the other, bent at the knee, his arms folded and his nose in the air. His aura was proud until a waist-high boy knocked the wind out of his lungs, catching him and taking him into a bear-hug.

"Inu-oniichan!"

"Gerroff, Sota!"

"Mom says your comin to stay with us for the rest of school!!"

"Er.."

"Are you Kagome's boyfriend or what?!"

"Aaah!" Kagome clamped a hand over his mouth, and smiled innocently at her approaching mother.

"Heh, hi mom... I was just chatting(She glared at Sota) with Inu-yasha about the clothes he has to wear."

"Yes, about that. I was just talking to the principle of your school and she says that the child, Hitou, would be out for the year and all the classes had more than enough room for an extra person. She says she'd be glad to take a friend of ours! Isn't that exciting?"

'I don't know... more than enough room for an extra person... they don't know what they're dealing with.' Kagome glanced at Inu-yasha, who was tackling Sota to the ground with ease.

"Uh, sure mom..."

Mrs. Higurashi was beside herself with glee. "Ooooh, he'd look so cute in school clothes, he would look just darling." She gushed, leaning over and twanging his ears.

"Sooo, when do we go shopping, anyway?" Kagome said, getting nervous at the death-glare that Inu-yasha was giving her mother.

"We'll go as soon as we're done with lunch." Mrs. Higurashi said, and at the mention of food, Inu-yasha perked up.

"Is it Ramen?" Kagome gave him a look and jammed her elbow into his ribs.

"Of course it's ramen, you ding-bat, now come on!"

"What's a ding-"

"Shuddup."

*****An Hour Later..*

After lunch (It was ramen!! ^_^), Kagome, her mother, sota and Inu-yasha took a bus to the nearest department store. Inu-yasha had many baka questions to ask, like: "How come every one is wearing those weird clothes of yours?!" and "What's that?!" He'd yell, openly pointing at a bus, or a plane. The family members would just ignore him, and the stares in their direction.

The first store they came across was a JCrew (c). He would pick out the most expensive leather outfit he could find, and begin to walk away with it.

"Inu-yasha!! Get back here now!" Kagome hissed, and an old woman actually stopped to turn and watch, poking her husband in the back muttering things like: "The things kids do to themselves today," and "This city is cursed, I tell you cursed."

"But this is what I want!" He whined, sticking the jacket and pants in front of her nose.

"Inu-yasha, We're here for casual clothes, not spandex!" 'Oh, god, Inu-yasha and spandex in the same sentence... What is the world coming to?!' She blushed and pretended she was looking in her purse for something to hide her tomato-face.

When they finally came to the pizza parlor, Armand's (c) *drools* Kagome was chatting with her mother, Sota and Inu-yasha walking behind them. Kagome glanced back at Inu-yasha, thinking about, well of course, him. She let her gaze wander to the small tables that cluttered the store. She gasped, and jumped behind a nearby pillar.

'Oh god, not Hojo, not now!' He was sitting with her other friends, chatting and sipping his drink. But it was too late, for Eri had spotted her.

"Kagome! What are you doing here?"

Kagome stepped out from behind the pillar.

"Eh, heh... hi Eri..." She squeaked out. This was gonna be bad, real bad.

"Higurashi! So you've gotten over your kidney stones?" Hojo bounced over to her and held both of her hands in his own.

Kagome fell over, to be helped up by Inu-yasha.

"Kagome, who's that?" Inu-yasha asked, jealousy boiling over his meant-to-be-casual words.

"Inu-yasha, this is Hojo."

Hojo looked surprised.

"Inu-yasha... That's Dog-demon."

Kagome started.

"I-It's a nick-name!"

"oh..." Hojo gave Inu-yasha a blank look and got back to his business with Kagome. "Sooooo, Could you come and see a movie with me next Saturday?"

"Aaah, Hojo, I don't know...." Kagome was wavering at the death glare Inu-yasha was giving him (as in Hojo-kun). Of course, Hojo was too dense to see he was treading on dangerous ground, so he continued.

"Or you and I could go out to dinner, and come to my place." He smiled sweetly, taking her hands again.

Eri now joined them, hesitating at the large amounts of steam billowing from Inu-yasha's ears and nose. She also stared. Was he growling?

"Hojo, I'm a bit busy!" She squeaked, looking at the enraged expression on Inu-yasha's face. Her eyes slipped down to his hands. He was drawing blood...

Kagome's mother was watching from afar, amused at the expressions.

"Hojo, would you excuse us for a moment?" Kagome whimpered, grabbing Inu-yasha's arm and dragging him off to the far corner of the entrance hall.

"Inu-yasha... are you jealous?"

"HELL YEAH!!!" He yelled. "He has no right to touch you!!!"

"Calm down, it's okay! You know I don't like him!" She soothed, but he wasn't listening... well at least not to her.

"Your friends... They think I'm 'hot'." He gave her a questioning look. "What's 'hot'?"

Kagome turned red, and murmured something that was indistinguishable to the noise. She then grabbed his arm and leaned toward his ear.

"It means they think you're sexy." She walked off, trying to cool her burning face.

When they got back, Hojo took a point and scadoodled, alng with all of Kagome's drooling friends. They ate lunch, packed up and headed home. They bought Inu-yasha... 4 pairs of red sweat-pants, 3 pairs of baggy jeans, 4 wifebeaters, and several pre-worn T-shirts with witty stuff on them. *my favorite is the one where is had REALLY small letters that say. "nosy little bastard, aren't you?"*

When they got home, Kagome and Inu-yasha went up to her room to 'talk'.

"Inu-yasha, please don't say that your gonna be like this ALL YEAR?!"

"Why shouldn't I be, your mine!"

"Inu-yasha, things don't work like that here, unless you want to be boyfriend/girlfriend, which I seriously doubt."

"But-!"

"Inu-yasha!" She slammed her hand on the floor, and glared at him. "This is what we have to deal with! Boys'll like me and girls will like you, Okay? There is nothing you can do about it!"

"But remember I-" He gulped and hid his eyes.

"It's okay, I won't agree to any other man, if it makes you happy, okay? And yes, we still love each other, and that's all that matters." *Moulin Rouge ^_^*

He gave her a weak smile and started to get up, but Kagome got a death-grip on his Katama.

"Please, stay?" She pleaded, dragging him back down to the floor. He sighed and sat cross-legged, his back against her bed. She hopped into his lap, and buried herself into his blood-red Haori.

"Aishiteru, Inu-yasha, aishiteru..." and she fell asleep. heheh, yeah?"
