Chapter 4: The Aftermath

The instructor ran over to the group and examined both Yura and Kagome. After inspecting both girls, he said," They're both okay. Yura's just unconscious. She'll probably have a few bruises, pretty ugly ones, and maybe some broken ribs when she wakes up, I'm not sure. Kagome's okay too. I have no idea why she fainted though. I need two of you boys to bring them to the nurse. Miroku, Inu-yasha, can you guys please bring the girls to the nurse's office?" With a brisk nod, Miroku picked up Yura and started carrying her toward the nurse's office. Inu-Yasha gently picked Kagome up from her position on the matt. Silently, he followed Miroku down the corridors of their school. On their way, Inu-Yasha kept repeating in his mind the shocking events that had happened in the gym. He was still shocked at what Kagome had done. "Miroku," Inu-Yasha said. "Yeah?" was the reply.

"Don't you find what happened today weird?"

"Yeah. I never knew that Kagome girl could do that. It was mad scary man."

"Yeah I know." Inu-Yasha was going to say more, but suddenly Kagome whimpered and he looked down. Suddenly a tear fell down her cheek. For some reason, he felt his heart clench at this. Before he knew it, they were in the nurse's office and he had to put her down in one of the beds. "Thank you boys," the petite woman, who was the school nurse, said, "I'll take it from here. These girls might need help getting home though, if the need arises, will you guys be able to help?" Inu-Yasha and Miroku looked at each other. "I guess it'll be okay. I'm sure we'll be able to help." Miroku replied for the both of them. "Thank you so much boys. All right, run to class now."

When the two boys went outside, Inu-Yasha turned to Miroku. "Hey, who said I could help toady after school anyways?" "Inu-Yasha, do u not see the condition that the girls are in?"

"Yeah, so!?"

"They would really appreciate it if we could help them, but I get Yura. You get the Higurashi girl." Miroku said with an evil glint in his eyes.

"That was exactly why I didn't say anything." Miroku just rolled his eyes at him. "Whatever." And with that, the two of them walked off to their respectful class.

'Everything's black. Where am I?' Kagome thought. A sudden wave of cold washed over her. 'oh geez!! This feels like I'm in a freezer or something.' She began walking along, going nowhere because all she could see was the darkness around her. When she moved, the area that she was at before was filled in by dark shadows. With no destination in mind, Kagome just continued walking. Suddenly, hands reached out of the shadows grabbed onto her. Kagome shrieked and struggled against it. "Let me go!! Let me GO!!! LET ME GO!!!!" With that, white light came out and started driving the shadowy hands back. They slowly released Kagome and retreated to their corner. Kagome looked toward the light and saw a figure in the midst of it. She squinted to see it better. The figure walked toward her. As it did so, her eyes widened in surprise. "JI-SAN!!!" Kagome squealed happily. She ran to her grandfather who embraced her. "Ji-San, I missed you so much. Why did you have to go?" Kagome asked as small tears made its way down her face. "Kagome, my child. Hush, don't cry." her grandfather whispered. "Listen to what I have to say." Kagome looked at her grandfather, the tears still making their way down her face. "Kagome, people are not always what they seem. The person whom you expect the least to help you will be there for you. Remember always not to jump to conclusion if you do, it will be a misfortune. Remember this always, my child." After that was said, his body slowly disappeared into the light. "No, Ji-san!! Stay!! Don't go!! Please!!" Despite all of her words, he disappeared. So did everything around her.

Kagome snapped open her eyes. She stared at the ceiling thinking about her dream. That was when she noticed the wetness on her cheeks. She put her hand to her check and felt tears. 'I was crying?' she thought. Before she could do anything else, the nurse bustled in. "You're awake!" She cried. 'Why am I in the nurse's office again?' Kagome thought as she tried to get up. "Don't get up!!" the nurse scolded her. She then realized why she was in the nurse's office. Her whole body screamed in protest. "OW!!" She yelped. "I told you so. Now lay back down." The nurse cautioned. As she did so, the nurse told her of what happened and that she would be taken home by a student but she didn't say whom. Later, Kagome fell asleep again. This time it was a dreamless sleep.

When the dismissal bell rang at 3 o'clock sharp, Inu-Yasha barged out of his science classroom door. "FREE AT LAST!!!" he screamed. "Not yet," a voice said behind him. "Remember, Inu-Yasha, we have to bring the girls home." Miroku smirked at him. "Right. I almost forgot." Was the answer that Miroku received. As they neared the nurse's office, Inu-Yasha said to Miroku, "Miroku, if I were you, I wouldn't try and grope Yura while she's asleep. She's really strong you know and she might wake up mid grope or something. Then you'll be six feet under." He sniggered. "Ha Ha...very funny." Miroku replied sarcastically. The conversation stopped there as they entered the same room they were in only a little while ago.

"Hi. You guys here to pick up the girls already?" the nurse asked. Inu-Yasha rolled his eyes to in his mind. 'DUH!! Why else are we here?' "Yes we are." Miroku answered. Alright, They're both over there." She pointed to her right. They walked over to the beds in the nurse's office. Inu-yasha looked down at Kagome and saw that she was still asleep. He looked at Miroku and saw that Yura was awake and was being supported by Miroku to walk out. He sighed and picked Kagome up bridal style. As he walked away, he saw some of the looks the students gave him.

But then again I have huge dead lines where I have to take 50-100 notecards with facts on them. Yeah.. School sux...what can I do about it?
