Thank you readers/reviewers! I know I take a while, but I'm still a little busy… -cheese-
Chapter 18
Kagome awoke the next morning with a smile on her face. What am I so happy about? She thought getting ready.
In several minutes she was down the stairs and out the door. "Bye mom! Bye Gramps! Uh, bye Sota, if you're here," she said to herself. Kagome was in an unusually happy mood today. But what sparked this sudden change?
Up ahead walked Miroku. "Hey, Miroku!" Kagome called. The boy stopped and turned around. "Hi, wait up!"
"Kagome. Good to see you!" Miroku said picking up to Kagome's pace. "What's got you in such a good mood today?"
"Hm, that's what I wanted to know too! Strange. I woke up this morning, and I just felt really good! Like something good is gunna happen today. But I don't know. What do you think?" The bubbly girl chirped.
"Well, I would normally say a drug overdose, but since this is KAGOME we're talking about…" the boy teased.
Absent-mindedly nudging the boy in the shoulder, the two continued their walk to school.
Birds chirped, the sun peeked over the horizon, Kagome practically skipped all the way to school. As soon as she saw Sango, the mood got even more flowery… if that's possible.
"SANGO! Oh boy! Today is great, don't you think? I think so. We're gunna really kick some butt in that game next week, wouldn't you say? …"
0o Sango just stared at Kagome as she spoke a hundred words a minute.
…
…
…
"Kagome… you stopped talking. It's amazing." Miroku finally said. But his shifted his gaze to where Kagome now looked.
To their right, was walking a man in a very expensive looking suit. He looked well groomed and carried a briefcase. "Is Kagome Higurashi present?" he asked the three standing there.
Sango and Miroku both nudged Kagome forward a bit. "Hey… -ahem- yes. I am Kagome Higurashi. Is there something wrong?"
"Please come with me, Miss." Was all he said and turned back the other way.
Kagome glanced back at Miroku and Sango and shrugged, then followed where the man led her – into the school building.

Inuyasha scrambled to get ready. "Damn… where's the stupid whatcha-ma-call-it???!!!" he shouted stumbling from one room to the next.
"Inuyasha, chill. You aren't going to be late. You have like, a half an hour…" Shippo said from the kitchen chowing down on some food he managed to find in the place. The poor kid didn't get much when it came to food.
"I …. Have to talk to my ….. coach! And it's important you brat!" The hanyou screamed tearing out the door.
"Poor guy's losing it… Doesn't he realize that it's only six forty-five? Oh well, serves him right…" The small kitsune turned back to his food and clicked through the channels.
"Dammit…" Inuyasha cursed turning a corner. "I need to play next week, they need me! Stupid Koga, trying to post my secret over the entire town!" The hanyou ran frantically to the school. But when he got there and realized that he was coughEXTREMELYcough early. "DAMMIT!" he cursed. Inuyasha fell on his behind to the ground.
"Inuyasha? Is that you?" a woman's voice asked in a soothing tone.
"Kikyo? What are you doing here this early?"
"I have something personal I have to take care of with the principal. Does that bother you?"
"No no no no no. I'm just in a really crappy mood. Lots of things going wrong." Inuyasha looked eye to eye with the girl in front of him with curious eyes.
Kikyo slowly walked over to where the hanyou sat and leaned over. "Can I ask you something?" she inquired with a hint of jealously in her voice.
"Uh… sure."
Kikyo sat down rather close to the hanyou. "Where do you stand with that other girl. Fagome, is her name?"
"-It's Kagome." Inuyasha butted in. "And don't you talk about her like that. Once you get to know her, she's one of the best people I have… ever met."
"Besides me?" Kikyo blurted out. "Remember what your life was like before that girl showed up. We were the two people thought to be the most successful in life. In junior high how we met? Don't you remember any of that? Does that even matter to you anymore?!"
"Kikyo – look! I-"
"No! I don't want any of it. You've obviously chosen her over me. I can see that in the way you're defending her." Kikyo stood up and brushed off the little dirt that was on her skirt. "I thought you were above all that, Inuyasha. I see now how wrong anyone is to even want to know you."
Inuyasha stood up and quickly pushed Kikyo against the wall. "Listen-"
"Let…GO OF ME!"
"CAN'T YOU SEE I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO-"
"NO! NO! Stop it…" Kikyo pleaded with tears trickling down her face.
The hanyou released the girl from his grasp and back up. "Kikyo… look. Anything you want… you can have… you're rich. Frankly, I'm not. Unlike you, I work for a living and don't depend on someone else for my survival." Inuyasha picked up his bag. "I don't know what I thought of you in junior high… I must have been under your little spell you manage to swoon on every guy." Then hanyou walked away from sight.

Inside the school office, Kagome sat facing this strange man. The only noise that could be heard was the sound of the clock ticking nosily in the corner. "Kagome."
The girl sat up. "Yes?"
"I have some rather, and possibly, alarming news to tell you. Do you think you're capable of handling it?" the man said taking out some papers from his briefcase.
Kagome nodded. When the papers in front of her turned out to be photos…the girl broke down.
--
When Kagome didn't come out of the office, Sango and Miroku got worried. "What do you think happened?"
Sango looked at Miroku. "Something bad. When somebody is called in like that, it usually means business. And that guy looked like he had business."
Miroku nodded. "Where's that foolish hanyou when you need him?"
"Hey, you talking about me?" Sango and Miroku spin around to see Inuyasha walk up behind them. "Where's Kagome?"
"Inside. Where have you been?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha just looked away. "Ah. I see."
"Perv. I had some…stuff that I needed to do." The hanyou looked up when the doors to the school swung open, and Kagome walked out with a pale face and tear stained eyes. Oh no… He ran to her and stood in front of her. "Kagome! What's wrong?" The girl said nothing. She just stared forward with an eerie stare that could kill. "Kagome…"
"He's…he's…"
Inuyasha shook the girl. "What? He's what?"
"Dead…"
