Authors note: Yeah I know I sorta haven't been writing anything...but it's not my fault! My mom is on a mission to completely wipe out every single problem on this computer and the fact that she erased everything I even had on here is not good!!!! Plus I know Yuske is really spelled Yusuke, but I just like spelling it this way. Its easier for me and I already have it auto correct on spell check. Well Anyways, Here is your chapter! A thousand apologies to anyone out there!!!

I walked into Mrs. Akuba's class. "Welcome, Ms. Higurashi. Your Yuske's cousin I see...Well take a seat!" She said looking at me critically. I sat next to Yuske. "Glad you could make it to the most boring class you'll ever set foot into." He whispered none too quietly. I frowned. I had had enough with history for a lifetime. Been there, done that... Yuske seemed to have had enough of it too, since he was on his way to sleep. "Ms. Higurashi, since you are new to this school, I will give you the honor of reading first. Page two hundred and ninety-four please." Mrs. Akuba said.

I opened my book, and stood. Like this wasn't stupid enough Yuske was laughing. I looked at my current situation. I looked ridiculous in this new school outfit. It was shorter. I looked like a goody goody. "When the United States finally entered the war as a result of the Japanese attack on the United States on December 7, 1941, the Axis Powers (Germany, Japan, and Italy) were winning. The winter and spring of 1941-42 saw the Japanese had taking Malaya, the US island of Guam, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies, Burma, and the Western Aleutian Islands in the United States. On May 6, 1942, US forces surrendered at Corregidor, Philippines." I said.

"German armies had invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 and only stopped at the outskirts of Moscow. In June, 1942, the Germans had reached deep into the Caucasus Mountains where they laid siege to Stalingrad on the Volga River. The principal source of British military power, the Royal Navy, was being sunk. Much of the US Pacific fleet had been destroyed by the Japanese navy at Pearl Harbor." I read clearly.

"Thank you Ms. Higurashi. You may be seated." The old teacher said. "If she ever asks me to read again I will personally rip off her head and shove the book up her ass." I whispered angerly to Yuske. A loud chiming bell rung, ending the first class. "Thank Kami." I said. "Yuske, Will you show me where Mr. Oushi's class is?" I said. "Yeah, Kurama has that next too." He said. "I know." I said gathering my books. "So Yuske," I said as we walked out of the class room, "Where does Hiei go when we're all at school." I asked.

"Well sometimes I don't really know. He has a life, it's not like he's waiting on us or anything..." Yuske said. "Yeah but...If he doesn't live in the human world...Where does he go?" I said. "Well he probably-"He stopped. "Why are you so interested in where Hiei is anyway?" He asked. "Just curious..." I said.

"Well here it is class 103, the Green houses." Yuske said, leaving. I stepped in to see that I wasn't late, and wouldn't have to be introduced. "Hello there Kagome." Kurama said from the east corner of the room. "Oh, Hey Kurama." I said walking over. "Alright students. Two to a planting section. We will be planting and growing the yellow rose." Mr. Oushi said.

"Oh I love roses." Kagome said fondly. "As I." Kurama said, gazing at kagome. "I...Well, do you want to work together, I mean, everyone else has already paired up." She said blushing. "Sure." He said. They gathered a pot, some soil, and the other materials and put their plant to work. About half an hour later, they were done planting and were finishing watering. Kurama POV I stared at kagome as she watered our roses. They weren't at all near blooming, or even growing a stock, but in time I was sure they would rise above the rest. I reached up and thumbed off a piece of dirt from her cheek. "What?" she said looking up. "You had a...smudge of dirt on your cheek." I said.

"Did you know that Yellow roses mean friendship, decrease of love, and jealousy? I read it somewhere before." Kagome said gazing at the pot full of dirt. I could see something in her eyes, it was regret, sorrow, hatred, sadness, hope, and lost love. I was determined to fill her eyes with something much more than lost love. The bell sounded and I soon found Kuwabara and Keiko waiting outside the door. "Oh hello Keiko, Kuwabara. So I guess we have third period together?" I said.

"Yeah, it's Reading. It's not that bad of a subject." Keiko said smiling. "Well then I guess this would be a great time for us to get better acquainted." I said smiling too. "Hey, you mean time to get better acquainted to ME too!" he said not liking the idea of being left out. We both giggled and made our way into the class room.

Professor Shoseki stood toward the class. He had brilliant short brown hair, and mysterious green eyes. He seemed young enough. "Mr. Shoseki is a student teacher, cute huh?" Keiko Whispered. "Yeah...." I said. "Class, this is Miss. Higurashi, a transfer student from another school. I am trusting you treat her with high respect." He said. His voice was silky. I then took a seat in the middle bit of the class room, diagonal from Keiko.

"Well, since it is Miss. Higurashi first day here, I will honor her with the grace of reading before the class." He said sending a devious smile my way. JUST WHAT was it with teachers, 'Giving the honor of reading?!?!?!' I cursed in my mind. Great, just what I wanted, im cousins to Yuske and already no one thinks we're related from my good behavior. "I would like you to read the beginning of a poem by Edgar Allen Poe, called Annabel Lee, on page 659."He said.

I stood, and read; It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee; And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

She was a child and I was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea, But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee— With a love that the winged seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of a cloud by night
Chilling my Annabel Lee; So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom...

By the end of the poem, I was nearly in tears, but there was no way I was going to shed them. A poor girl locked in a tower. Always away from her love. Sounded a bit like me. "Very good Kagome. How did you get such skills?" Mr. Shoseki asked. I blushed and sat down as all the other girls (Except Keiko) Glared at me for receiving a complement from him.

They continued the rest of the class with a little talk between Keiko and myself and then more talk of old poems. The bell yet again sounded, and everyone gathered there stuff. "Kagome. Can I speak with you for a moment?" Mr. Shoseki said. "I'll meet you guys in a minute." I said to Keiko and Kuwabara. I walked up to his desk. "You impressed me in your reading today Kagome." He said. "Oh..Thank you." I said smiling. "The school is having a contest of reading arts, where you can make up your own story, or poem, so I was wondering if you were interested. That poem by Edgar Allen Poe, seemed to have quite an effect on you." He said grinning.

I blushed. He had seen!?! "Yeah, that would be nice." I said. "Well entrees are do in two weeks, so I will hope to see it." He said. "Thank you." I said. "Off to lunch then." He said dismissing me. I made my way out the door, where I found Keiko and Kuwabara waiting for me. "Well, everyone should be waiting for us. We always meet outside, and usually everyone goes their ways, whether out to lunch or back home for a while. Im meeting up with a few friends, so maybe Kuwabara will guide you to lunch?" she said half question half statement. "Ok, bye Keiko." I said.

"So what did Mr. Shoseki say?" Kuwabara asked. "Oh, he just wanted to ask me if I wanted to enter some poem thing." I said, sounding embarrassed. "Oh. Well, come on im starving!" he said loudly. I looked weirdly at the wannabe Elvis haired man. Shaking my head, I followed him to lunch.

We grabbed are trays with a few well selected foods, and sat at a table containing, Yuske, Boton, Kurama, and now, ourselves. "So how were your class's kagome?" Kurama said. "Well if one more teacher 'graces me' with reading in front of the class, im gonna scream." I said poking at the inedible food. "Yeah most teachers here are a bunch of jokes." Yuske said. "Well gym isn't so bad! Its really good! We're doing archery today!" Boton said.

"Yeah, it should be easy. The instructor is really nice." Keiko said. Archery? YES! I did a little cheer in my mind. "It says here, I have it with Boton and Yuske." I said. "We have separate changing rooms right?" I said uneasily. "Yep." Boton said. We ate lunch talking about pointless things. I mostly asked about missions they had before. I figured out, Kuwabara was a show off, Kurama was very modest, Yuske was a sensible glory hog, and Hiei...well Hiei does what he wants.

"Alright girls. This is Kagome Higurashi." A tall lady said. "We're starting Archery. Now that you know how to hold an actually bow and arrow, you can shoot. Lets have kagome go first." She said. I grinned, I may not be as good as Kikyou, but I was pretty damn good. I stepped in front of a target about ten feet away. I aimed, and shot a bull's eye. I got many gasps from the crowd of girls. I moved in front of a target twenty feet away. I aimed and, shot another perfect!

I moved in front of the fifty foot target line, took aim, and another perfect score. "Well miss. Higurashi, we know you don't need this lesson, you may run track." She said. I motioned for Boton to come with me. She grinned and came along. "You were really good over there kagome." Boton said. Yuske came running up behind us. "I saw you over there kagome. Damn that's good." Yuske said. "We'll need to leave school early today Yuske." Boton said. "I leave school early everyday." He said grinning.

"If it's about the toddler, we can wait." Yuske said. "No Yuske! We really need to find a proper training ground for Kagome and here in the human realm is not a good place!" she said sternly. I ran alongside Boton, not really paying attention to what they were saying. I really wondered what inuyasha was doing. Was he really incapable of being the same old inuyasha? He broke the subduing spell, but that one time....I did see his old self again. Like he was fighting off his demon side...

With Inuyasha He growled in frustration. He let the damn wench get away! That one fire apparition! He helped her escape! He would find them, and they would all die. He stepped up into the room she was staying in. Her scent was fading away. It was his fault she left. She was a stubborn girl. It would have been hard to control her, no doubt.

But had she gone back into the future? The clothes the humans wore were definitely from her time. He would have to punish her for leaving with them. He grinned evilly to himself. Jumping out a nearby open window, he headed to the village they were at. She was gonna pay. Running away from him was breaking a rule. Once he got her back, she would be broken.
