I got this chapter out later then I expected. But I have a good excuse. I was at my grandmas longer then I was suppose to be and it took me forever to find time to sit down and write a chapter. This chapter is only short because I didn't have a lot of time to write it. Just so you know, this story will be finished by August 22. The Sequel will be up a little after the story is finished.

The part about the flash of silver will be mentioned in this story of the sequel. I'm not sure yet.

: : BAM : :

"Damn alarm clock," Kagome mumbled as she got out of bed. She walked over to her desk and looked at the calendar. "The dance is in two days."

"Kagome get up," her mom yelled to her.

"I am," she yelled back. 'I wonder if he'll ask me to the dance.' She blushed as she thought about the kiss. 'But, he never dumped Kikyou, does that mean he still has feelings for her?' She shook that thought out of her head. 'He never did and never will Kag, just let it go.' As she got ready she couldn't help but wonder if he did have any feelings for her. 'No.'

After she was ready she ran down stairs. "Bye mom no time to eat." She waved goodbye as she jolted out of the house.

= = = = =

She walked on the sidewalk lost in her own thoughts. The dance was in two days. Vacation was so fun she didn't want to come back to school, ever. But then again, who would? Maybe the vacation was just to good to be true? This might just be a dream and she could wake up any moment, but to her surprise, she didn't.

She sighed as she entered the school building. It has been a whole week since she has set foot in here, yet to her it feels like months. She grabbed some books from her locker and headed to class. 'Maybe today will be a quiet day with no fighting or...' She spoke to soon. Someone tapped on her shoulder. She whirled around to see Kikyou.

"The bitch finally decided to show her face," Kikyou said unwrapping a piece of gum. "I'm surprised you decided to show your face in this school again."

She really didn't need this. Especially since it was so early in the morning. Today must not be her day. "I'm sorry, but I don't have time to play." She pushed through Kikyou. "I need to get to class." Kagome sent one more glare towards Kikyou. Then walked away.

She ran up to Sango who was talking with Miroku. "Did you happen to see Inuyasha anywhere?"

Sango nodded. "He was sent to the principals office. I wonder how he can get in trouble for only being in school for a few minutes." She shrugged it off and continued talking to the school pervert.

She walked away from her two friends and into her classroom. The bell rang and everyone sat down. A normal start to a normal day.

"It's that time of the year again," the teacher started. Everyone knew what the teacher meant. It was time for the big project. You either got an A or an F. No ans, buts, or ifs about it.

Today really wasn't her day. If it got worse all hell would break loose. Maybe that's what today had in store for her?

"Sango will be pared with.." The teacher looked around the room. "Miroku. Kagome you can be..." The door burst open. Inuyasha came in and took a seat next to Kagome.

"Late again are we?"

"Feh."

"As I was saying before. Kagome, you are paired up with..."

'Please let it be Inuyasha, please let it be Inuyasha.' Kagome didn't want to get paired up with someone she didn't even like at all. Something had to go right in this day of wrong. (A/N: Did that even make sense? )

"Hiten."

Kagome's jaw literally hung open and touched the ground. She couldn't believe it. She was stuck with Hiten, the bully. Today is really a living hell isn't it? Today was the day the devil left hell and came to haunt her.

She looked over to see her partner smirking. What ever he was planning, she didn't like it. If only life was so kind. She laid her head on her desk. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the next group.

"Kikyou and Inuyasha."

Oh yes, today was officially a living hell.

= = = = =

-Lunch-

"Sango can you believe it?" Kagome asked. Hiten is a mean bully and I don't want to work with him let alone go to his house. This sucks!"

"I don't know what to say. Just remember that Hiten can't beat you or else he'll get suspended." Sango fingered her food with her fork. Surprise meat, her favorite.

"Did that ever stop him before?"

"No."

"Then what makes you think he won't hesitate to beat me up. If it's not on school grounds then nothing bad will happen to him."

"Just try acting nice. It worked last time you were pared up with him."

"That was in sixth grade Sango. Were in ninth now."

"So?"

"Did you see the smirk he had on his face when the teacher said his name?! I don't think I'm going to live much longer. Today has been one hell hole!"

"I wish I could help you, but your on your own. I can't do anything, but you can." Sango got up and left.

"Your a real help," Kagome mumbled as she got up and left the lunchroom.

= = = = =

She got out book from her locker. She turned around to see Hiten. He slammed her against her locker. He smirked at her like he did earlier. 'No, no, no, no, no, no!' She screamed in her mind. She was going to get beat up and no one was there to help her.

"We get to work on out project together wench," Hiten said loosening his grip on her.

"Uh huh," she managed to say. A tear fell down her face. Was she going to get beat up? Would he hurt her till she had bruises all over her? Would he just leave her alone?

He let go of her and she fell to the ground.

He walked away.

She slowly got up using her locker as support. Her legs were shaking from the event. She was happy that he didn't do anything to her, but still. Why is she shaking so much? 'Am I that afraid of him?'

She picked up her book and walked to class trying her best not to fall.

= = = = =

-Kagome's House-

She tried to concentrate on her homework, but she couldn't. She was still shaking from the event that happened earlier today. 'Maybe talking to someone will help me.' She grabbed her laptop.

Dog Demon: Hey!

Miko Gurl27: Hi.

Dog Demon: You got paired up with Hiten.

Miko Gurl27: Don't remind me.

Dog Demon: If he tries anything I'll pound him.

Miko Gurl27: -smile- Thanks!

Dog Demon: I mean it Kagome.

Miko Gurl27: You used my name!

Dog Demon: So?

Miko Gurl27: You didn't call me wench, bitch, women, girl, or anything like that. -hugs him- Yeah!

Dog Demon: Uh huh. Well I got to go. Bye.

Miko Gurl27: Byes.

-Another screen popped up-

Cat Lover: Hi.

Miko Gurl27: Who are you?

Cat Lover: It's me Sango! I have two names.

Miko Gurl27: Oh. That's so cool.

Cat Lover: I know. Did you talk to Inuyasha?

Miko Gurl27: Yeah.

Cat Lover: I heard he was really mad that he couldn't be your partner.

Miko Gurl27: -blush- Really?

Cat Lover: Yeah. He almost got sent to the principals office because of his little tantrum. Lol! It was funny.

Miko Gurl27: Must have been.

Cat Lover: Got to go. Kohaku wants on. Later.

Miko Gurl27: Bye.

'Could my life get any worse. I never asked Inuyasha to the dance! Kikyou might ask him first!' She closed her laptop and laid down. 'I'll wake up early and finish my work. I'm to tired now.'

= = = = =

I know it was short, but like I said before, I didn't have time to write it. My mom gave me thirty minutes time to write this chapter. I always take time to think about this story when I write so it's not that long. Please forgive me. I'll have the next chapter out sooner then this one.

I just had to put Hiten in the story. I didn't want to make him mean and stuff, but it just fit with what I plan to do for the next chapter. Hiten is my favorite character so there's a good chance he'll have a big role in the sequel to this story.

Review!

Ja ne!
