Chapter Three: Getting to school ON TIME

"Wake up! Get up! Get up, Inuyasha!" Inuyasha awoke to the sounds of Kagome clapping her hands, shouting and snapping.

"What? Why? What time is it?"

Kagome picked up Sota's cartoony alarm clock and held it too close to his face for him to read.

"It's 7:13! You have to get up right now or you'll be late!"

"Where am I?"

"Just get up and put your uniform on!"

"Huh?"

Kagome threw Inuyasha's school uniform in his lap.

Inuyasha sleepily put the school jacket on over his fire-rat thing.

"No, no, no! Take off your old clothes before you put your new ones on!"

"You want me to take my clothes off?"

Kagome jumped up and down. "Come on Inuyasha, focus! We have two minutes to get you dressed and out the door!"

Kagome grabbed Inuyasha and forced him to stand up, then she started to take his clothing off of him and dress him for school.

Inuyasha watched her and blushed. "Kagome... we haven't been going out that long! I'll put my own pants on!"

"You are SO lucky that I can't sit you any more!" She looked at the clock. "You have one minute to get your pants on! We're going to be late for school." She walked out of Sota's room and shut the door.

He came out about thirty seconds later with his pants on, but his shirt wasn't tucked in.

"Tuck in your shirt."

"Do what?"

"Ahh! I'll do it myself." Kagome told him in frustration as she tucked in his shirt.

Kagome grabbed Inuyasha by the wrist and ran with him out the front door.

"Ow! Not so hard, Kagome! Why can't you just ride on my back?" Inuyasha asked her while they ran.

"Because we are TRYING to look normal!"

"Oh! And this 'we're late! we're late! Come on! Get your pants on!' business is normal!" He mocked Kagome.

"It IS normal if you're late waking up!" Kagome insisted while they ran.

"Why are we late?" Inuyasha asked her.

"Because you didn't set an alarm to wake you up on time!"

"You didn't TELL me to set an alarm!"

"You didn't ask!"

"How am I supposed to know to ask you that? That's insane! You're insane!"

"I'm sorry, okay! I'm not the one who said, 'It's okay, Kagome. I can get up on time. I'm not a baby, remember?'"

"Well! No-one told me that 'on time' meant this hour! I don't think I've ever even SEEN this hour! The sun is barely even up!"

"Whatever! I don't pick what hour school starts! I just have to deal with it, and so do you now!"

"No I DON'T! I'm going home!"

"You are NOT! The principal is holding me personally responsible for your attendance!"

"Feh." He said as they finally arrived at school.

"Why aren't we going in?"

Kagome looked at her watch. She laughed nervously. "heh heh.. um... we're early."

"WWWHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTT?!" Inuyasha was enraged.
