-13 weeks after Kagome's return-

"Ms. Higurashi, that's an excellent way to solve number five! Very good!" a male teacher said standing in front of the class as Kagome took her seat towards the front of the room.

The girl smiled and sat down. School was a breeze now. Kagome picked up her pencil and began working on the next problem. She pressed the pencil to her lips and focused her eyes on the problem. Ever since she'd left... just over a few months ago... it had been so long. 'Already several months?' Kagome thought, forgetting the problem temporarily.

The girl shifted her gaze to the trees swaying outside. The birds flew out as the wind picked up, whipping the branches around. 'Inuyasha... I still haven't forgotten about you.' Kagome frowned. Even though her school was different than where she used to be, she still kept all those memories of her old school with her. The time that Inuyasha showed up at her school and Kagome had sat him... when he'd crashed their play... the memories of him were unforgettable.

The bell rang in the background. Robotically, Kagome put her things in her book bag and walked out of the room, still in a trance of her old, almost forgotten memories. "Hey Kagome!" her friend, Ayumi called from behind her. Ayumi's family had lived near Kyoto for a while, so having Kagome switching schools allowed Ayumi to transfer to a closer school.

"Hey Ayumi." Kagome replied quietly. She slowed her walk to match her excited friends. "What's up?"

"What's wrong? You're not going into one of your depressing moods are you?" the girl asked stopping and putting her hands on Kagome's shoulders. "Don't do this to me again Kagome!"

"No, it's ok. I'm just thinking a lot lately is all. I'm ok." Kagome sighed and continued on, her next class books in hand. She continued her walking, despite her friends nagging words to stop and tell her what was wrong. 'Already over a year has passed... Inuyasha... why?'

"Kagome... I guess I'll see you later then..." Ayumi said quietly walking off to her class before the tardy bell rang.

"Bye." Kagome said quietly. She turned into her class room and sat down, waiting for her next class, World Cultures, to begin.

With only a minute remaining, Kagome leaned forward in her desk to place her head on her hands. She sniffed, holding back tears from the world around her. 'I can't ever forget about you, Inuyasha. Did you not ever realize that? Shippo... Sango... Miroku... heck even you Koga... I miss you all...'

"Class, let's begin our study today..."

Kagome sat up as the bell rang, shaking her thoughts away and blending in with the other students in the room. 'Guess my wanting to be with you wasn't meant to be, Inuyasha... I hope you're happy with your choice...'
