Inutori: Hey minna-san! It's kind of fun re-writing this story, and I apologize to those wanting me to update my other stories already…I'm probably getting on their nerves like no other. But I figured I'd better put up the first chapter of this since the prologue is so stinkin' short.
Inuyasha: ::cough:: Tell them now.
Inutori: ::sigh:: I don't own Inuyasha, sad and depressing as that is.
Gem: (alternate personality of mine) I now have my own penname…but I only have one story up...and it's for One Piece...
Inutori: Yeah, now I can separate Gem from myself! ::shouts for joy::
Kagome: Well, let's let the readers go on and read the revised chapter of ADD.

Chapter 1-revised
Forced to Lie

"I'M GOING HOME!" Kagome yelled at the hanyou blocking her way to the well that would take her home. Her face was red with anger and steam appeared to be coming out of her ears. It was like this every time she tried to go back and so far there was no sign that things were going to start improving.

Amber eyes sparkled in challenge and an angry frown covered the half-demon's face. "NO YOU'RE NOT!" Inuyasha stretched his arms to either side to further block her from accessing the time portal to her own world.

"WHY NOT?" Kagome was fuming. She hadn't been home in over two weeks, and finals were coming up. There were little flames in her eyes, and an evil aura surrounded her body. It just didn't make sense as to why Inuyasha insisted that she had to stay in the feudal era all the time. Pretty soon she wouldn't even be able to go to the bathroom without his permission.

"BECAUSE WE NEED YOU TO DETECT THE SHIKON SHARDS!" His eyes flared angrily at Kagome and he seemed to grow in height as Kagome continued to challenge him.

The reincarnated priestess rose to the balls of her feet, glaring harshly at her adversary. She was very grateful that Kaede had put that necklace on Inuyasha at the moment.

"Osuwari! Osuwari! Osuwari! Osuwari! Osuwari! Osuwari! Osuwari!" Kagome waved her arms up and down with each 'sit' and closed her eyes tight, fighting the tears back. Her anger swelled inside her as she thought of how insulting Inuyasha was being.

After the silver-haired boy had been thoroughly flattened, Kagome stepped on his back and hopped into the well, diving to her own time and escaping Inuyasha's wrath when he recovered.

When she landed at the bottom of the well in her time, she knelt down in angry thought. 'Is that really what he thinks of me…still? That jerk.'

Kagome stood up and took a deep, calming breath.

Her hands encircled the rungs of the ladder and she pulled her weight slowly and deliberately out of the well. After getting out of the well house, Kagome dragged herself gloomily to the house and her bedroom.

Kagome locked her door and turned to her desk with a sigh. Textbooks were stacked what seemed to be a mile high and papers cluttered what was once the clean surface before she started going to the past.

The sun dipped below the horizon and Kagome continued to labor, barely making a dent in the amount of school assignments she had to makeup. A clock next to her read 12:36 before too long and Kagome set her alarm before she forgot. She didn't want to wake up late and miss school after the effort it took to get home.

Sleep overtook her just after 1'o'clock and her head smothered the math assignment she had been grueling over. The sound of her window sliding open and the rustling of clothes barely breached her tired ears, but she made no sound to acknowledge the uninvited company.


When Kagome awoke the next morning, she found Inuyasha staring at her. She stared at the golden eyes of her traveling companion before the reality of the situation sunk in to her tired mind.

"Eeeeeeeeeek! HENTAI!"

Inuyasha bolted to his feet in terror and then calmed back down quickly when he realized that nothing was wrong. Though he didn't sit back down next to the bed like he had been previously. "Let's go, wench."

"No." Kagome stood up and moved over to her closet to pull out a clean uniform for school.

"Nani?" Inuyasha turned to look at her like she was crazy or something. She merely glared back at him and held her fresh outfit in her arms.

"I haven't even gone to school yet, Inuyasha." Kagome took a deep breath and fiddled with the material in her arms. Some sort of resolve came over her face and she looked at Inuyasha with a new confidence. "Out." She continued to stare at Inuyasha as she pointed at the door to her bedroom, her eyes told a tale that couldn't fit in any book.

"Why should I?" He slumped once again to the floor, facing Kagome with a defiant spark in his amber eyes. "I'm not leaving until you are." His hands brushed the floor as he sat in his signature crouch, looking stubbornly at the raven-haired female.

Her eyebrow twitched and a vein popped from her forehead. "Hentai, I told you once, and I'll say it once more, GET OUT OF MY ROOM!"

Inuyasha fell back slightly and a red-tint blossomed from his cheeks as he realized why Kagome wanted him to leave so urgently. "Feh."

Standing up, Inuyasha exited her room blushing; his cheeks went a shade darker as he walked by her. After Inuyasha had walked out, Kagome quickly slammed and locked the door. A couple of minutes later, she came out in her school uniform holding her book bag in front of her.

Before Kagome could go to school though, Inuyasha scooped her up and threw her over one shoulder.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? PUT ME DOWN!" Kagome yelped and screamed as the hanyou made his way fairly calmly to the well house.

An idea came to her and she relaxed her flailing arms and legs.

"Um . . .Inuyasha?" She said it sweetly, hoping it would get his attention more fully.

"What do you want now?" In his voice there was a hint of irritation and annoyance, but he was obviously trying to push it back so as not to get sat by the girl draped over his shoulder.

"I'm not telling unless you put me down." Kagome smiled and licked her lips, wondering how well this would truly work.

She felt his arm around her flex while he debated what to do. Finally he set her down in front of him when they were just outside the mini shrine where the well was. He didn't let go of her wrist even though he set her down. Apparently he wasn't going to chance her taking off.

"Thank you . . ." Kagome blushed a little as she thought of how she should put this to him. She looked at the ground of the Sunset Shrine, hesitantly taking in a breath to speak. "Inuyasha . . .I-I sense the presence of a Shikon shard."
