LiL:.CaT:.AnImE- But Kagome did sit him in the end. Right at the end! Also, Thank you for giving me more spelling lessons. ; I really need them.
Paper Stars- I had to get a name for Kyo that either had to do with cats or being neglected. In the end, yes. I thought of everyone's favorite Kyo from everyone's favorite Fruits Basket!
I was shook awake the next morning. "Kyo, dear, it's time to get up." I opened one eye to see Kagome's mother standing over me. "Are we shopping more today? Because if we are I don't need any more clothes." She laughed. "No, we're not going to go shopping. Today I'm going to enroll you at Kagome's school.
After that I got up quickly. I threw on one of the pairs of blue jeans and one of the t-shirts. I had to say I looked better than I had ever seen myself look. I grabbed the brush Kagome had given me and ran it through my hair, carefully avoiding my ears. Then I pulled on my old sox and shoes, we hadn't gotten new ones, and ran downstairs to the kitchen.
Souta and Kagome weren't down yet. Their mother was flipping pancakes. "That was fast." she commented, "Kagome and Souta usually take twice the time you just did. How many pancakes would you like?" "Two please."
She handed me a plate with two, still warm, yummy looking, pancakes. "There's some maple syrup and butter on the table." Kagome's mother told me. I sat down and put a bit of syrup on my breakfast. I didn't bother with the butter.
Kagome came down just as I was finishing my first pancake. I noticed she was wearing the same thing she always did. I guessed it was her school uniform. That reminded me that I didn't have my uniform yet. Souta came in right behind Kagome. "Good morning!" their mother said cheerfully, handing them plates with pancakes on them. I guessed she knew how many they liked.
"I'm going to be driving both of you to school today." she informed them, "I have to get Kyo enrolled in the school. How old are you Kyo?" "12." I replied. "So 6th grade." Kagome's mom commented, "When we leave, don't forget your hat.
The front office of the school was a bit stuffy and my ears were beginning to hurt from having to keep them held down with the hat. Kagome's mother and I sat in cheap chairs that were stuffed together. "Mrs. Higurashi" the secretary called. Good. Now I knew Kagome's last name. I could quit thinking of her mother as Kagome's mother.
I followed Mrs. Higurashi who followed the secretary into the principal's office. The principal looked up. "Ah, Mrs. Higurashi. Miss Higurashi." I guessed that Mrs. Higurashi had told the school I was her daughter.
"I'm glad you've decided to enroll your youngest daughter in our school. Home schooling is not the way to go, I'm afraid. You don't learn much." "Yes." Mrs. Higurashi said, "I was starting to worry about her."
The principal turned to me. "Miss Higurashi," he said, "I'm sorry, but you can not start school until your uniform comes in. That should be any day now, am I correct?" Mrs. Higurashi nodded. He continued, "I hope that your health is better than your sisters." "Not really." I lied, "That's why I was home schooled. Mother wanted Kagome to be too, but she insisted on going to school." "Well then that's too bad that your health is that bad." the principal said frowning.
"If it's all settled then I believe I should bring Kyo home." Mrs. Higurashi said politely. "Please do." the principal said, "It would be ashame if she managed to get sick before her first day of school."
"Thank you for getting me into school, Mrs. Higurashi." I said as we drove away from the school." "It's no problem." she said shaking her head, "Souta was talking about you last night. He kept calling you 'Sis'. If he is willing to call you that, you can call me mom."
I stared at her. "But I already have a mother." I insisted. "I don't think highly of people who abandon their children for what they are." Mrs. Higurashi said. I had to say she had a point.
The rest of the way we drove in silence. "You should pack your bag and go back to the fuedal era." 'Mom' told me, "It usually takes about a week for Kagome's school clothes to come in so there's no use making you hang around the house."
I packed my bag and a little unsurely, jumped into the well.
I would have lost my way getting back to Kaede's village if it wasn't for my sense of smell. I could smell everyone's scent around the well. They were there often. But there was only one way the smell went after that. I went that direction.
"Oi, cat!" someone called as I got closer to Kaede's house. I looked up to see Inuyasha in his tree. "Hello." I said cheerfully. "Where's Kagome?" he demanded. "At school." I replied. "Why didn't you go to school?" Inuyasha asked. "I can't go until I get my uniform." I informed him. He didn't reply, so I walked into the hut.
Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kaede were in the hut. They looked up. "Oh, hello Kyo." Miroku greeted, "Is Kagome with you?" "No." I told him, putting my bag down in a corner, "She had to go to school. I want to, but I can't until I get my uniform." "That's too bad." Sango said.
"Hey Kyo!" Shippo said, "Do you want to help me play a trick on Inuyasha?" I smiled. "Sure."
Inuyasha: That worthless cat is going to help Shippo play a trick on me?! Is she nuts?
Shippo: No, she's smart.
Inuyasha: Shut up if you value your life.
Kagome: Inuyasha...
Clear Waters: Well that's my last chapter on this story for a week or more. :(
Kagome: Why?
Clear Waters: I'm going on vacation.
Miroku: Can I go with you?
Clear Waters: I guess so.
Miroku: I want to meet all the pretty girls!
Sango: {Slaps him}If he's going I'm going.
Shippo: OOOOH! Are you going to the beach? I want to go to the beach!
Clear Waters: Yes, I am going to the beach.
Shippo: YEAH! Can Kagome come too?
Clear Waters: Of course.
Inuyasha: If Kagome's coming, I'm coming too.
Kagome: You better behave or I'll Sit you. {Inuyasha meets ground} Ooops. Sorry
Clear Waters: I'm glad I did this outside.
Miroku: Soooooooo, when are you leaving for the shore?
Clear Waters: Now.
All: WE'RE GOING TO THE SHORE! YEAH!
Clear Waters: R&R! Thanks!
