Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, and I'm not stealing it so please don't
steal my storyline. I think it's very original
AN: I can finally update! Sorry, but my mom's been on constant surveillance of what I'm doing on the computer and I don't want her reading the stuff I write. You think I'd b able to write a ton since it's spring break but my mom is laid off so she's home all the time. I'm going insane. I kno it might sound mean, but I'm used to both parents working and having one around ALL the time is really driving me insane. Well, enough of my rambling, on w/ the fic!

Kagome awoke to knock on the door. "Honestly Kagome," Her mother said as she opened the door. "Don't you set your alarm anymore?" Kagome simply sat up and rubbed her eyes sleepily. "Are you feeling okay? I don't want to sent you to school if your going to wind up in the hospital again."
"I'm fine mom. I just slept through my alarm. That's all" Kagome said convincingly enough. She'd just do what she would if she had a normal life while she was here. There really wasn't much too it other than that. There were no demons, no jewel shards, no Naraku, no Kikyo. She still had friends and family... She'd just get through the day and sleep as soon, and as much, as possible here. How hard could it be to live a normal life anyway?

"Kagome!" Eri yelled as she and Kagome's other two friends ran over to her. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, you had us all so worried!" Ayumi said once they had caught up.
"I'm fine now. Don't worry!" Kagome said with a smile. He friends just gave her a suspicious look. "Really, I am." Eri opened her mouth to say something when the school bell rang. "Well, don't want to be late now do I?" Kagome finished quickly before practically running from her friends.
"Hey Kagome! Wait for us!" Yuka called out as they ran after her.
~*~
The morning went pretty smoothly and Kagome eventually got her friends to believe that she was really okay. Kagome, surrounded by Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi made their way to the locker rooms to change for gym class. They stopped when they saw that there was already a large group of girls surrounding the door, as well as a large group of boys gathered around the entrance to their lockers down the hall. "What's going on?" Eri asked as she pushed her way to the door.
"They're doing construction in the locker rooms." The gym teacher said as he came up behind the girls, startling some of them a little. "Unfortunately the school board forgot to mention this to me until this morning." The gym teacher then moved over to the group of boys and told them something along the same lines. Then he blew his whistle to draw the girls attention once more. "Class, please head outside."
Once they were outside the teacher took attendance and announce that they would be doing archery since they didn't need to change for that. When he was done explaining how to use the bow, they all moved into small groups to attempt to shoot at the targets. When it was Kagome's turn she hit a near perfect bull's-eye.
"Wow Kagome! When did you learn to do that?" Yuka said from behind her. Kagome just shrugged. It didn't seem like that big of a deal to her anymore. Yuka then shot her arrow and hit a near perfect bull's-eye as well. Only hers was on a target two rows down. The group ising that target gave her a nasty look. "Sorry bout that! Here, I'll get it!"
As she left to retrieve her arrow the gym teacher walked over to Kagome who was now at the end of her line. "Higurashi."
"Umm...yes?"
"Let me see you do that again." He ordered. "Ashida, give her the bow."
"Uh, sure." The girl said nervously as she gave Kagome the bow. Kagome moved up to the line they were to shoot from and managed to hit the bull's- eye this time. "Wow Kagome, you're really good!" The girl complimented.
"Let me see you do that again." The gym teacher said once more. Kagome obeyed and shot another arrow, this one right next to the last. The gym teacher continued to order her to shoot at the target and by the eighth shot the entire gym class was gathered around. Once she had shot ten arrows he stopped her. "How would you like to be on the archery team?"
"That's a high school team though." Kagome said relived that was why she was being told to shoot so many arrows.
"I know that. You extremely good Higurashi and they're short a team member to compete do to a freak accident." One of the guys opened his mouth to ask what happened but he interrupted him. "Trust me Konishi, you don't want to know. So, what do you think?"
"Umm, sure. Why not?" Kagome agreed.
"Okay good. I'll inform the coach this afternoon." He announced, and then turned to the class. "Alright, everyone back to work." The students scattered back to their proper places. Kagome spent the rest of the class attempting to give her group archery lessons.
~*~
Kagome walked home considering whether she should actually join the team. It would be great, but when they saw that witch Miroku was talking about, would this world even matter anymore. It would be nice to just take it easy here and relax, but on the other had if there was no way to get rid of this place, then she would be here forever and-no. She didn't want to think about how confusing that would make her life.
Kagome walked in the door of her house and headed up to her room to start on her homework. It wasn't long before dinner was ready. Souta lead the way downstairs after coming to get her.
"I got a call from the archery coach at the high school Kagome." Her mother announced as she placed the food on the table. "I think it would be good for you to join."
"But she's only in middle school." Souta stated the obvious. "Why would they want her?" Kagome shot her younger brother a dangerous look, then quickly resumed her calm expression.
"Actually, the gym teacher said I was really good." She replied confidently.
"I remember when I was on the archery team..."Her grandfather started to ramble on about his younger days and the rest of the family just zoned out for the rest of the meal. They had heard this story one to many times....
When dinner was over Kagome went back up to her room and went to sleep. Something she had been wanting to do all day....
~*~
Kagome opened her eyes and was greeted by the early morning sun. "Yay!" Shippo said as he bounced over to her. "Kagome's awake!" Sango and Miroku turned to look at her.
"Do you want anything to eat? We're going to head out soon." Sango said opening Kagome's backpack to put a used pot in.
"I'll just have a granola bar. There should be some in the front." Kagome pointed to the correct pouch. Sango opened it and tossed one to Kagome. "How long was I out this time."
"It's not that late in the day yet." Inuyasha said as he jumped down from the tree he was to help pack so they could leave quicker.
"We couldn't wake you at all last night." Miroku said as he rolled up the sleeping bag Kagome had used.
"It was kinda scary," Shippo chimed in. "like you'd never wake up."
"I think we should move at a faster pace today." Miroku continued. "Kirara, would you be willing to carry Sango, Shippo, and Myself?" Kirara simply meowed and transformed in preparation for their journey. When they were done packing Kagome climbed on Inuyasha's back, and the others on Kirara's and they were off.
