Chapter 4:

Inuyasha woke up the next morning to find that he was back in the terrarium again. And Kagome was gone too.

"That bitch! Why the hell did she put me back in here?!" Inuyasha complained. "Now what am I gonna do?"

Then Mrs. Higurashi walked in. "Hello Inuyasha." She said.

"Good morning." Inuyasha replied, knowing better than to make Kagome's mom mad. He could remember the last time he did.

Flashback...

"INUYASHA!" Kagome's mom yelled as she slapped him on the side of the face. "Don't you dare disrespect your elders! Do you hear me?!" Kagome's mom continued to yell.

"Yes ma'am." Inuyasha said with a hint of fear in his voice as he hid behind Kagome.

"Now get your but over there and apologize to that lady! NOW!" Kagome's mom yelled

Present...

"Mrs. Higurashi? Do you think you could let me outta here?" Inuyasha asked.

"Sure. You're probably hungry." Mrs. Higurashi replied as she carried Inuyasha to the kitchen with her. "Do you want some cereal like yesterday?"

"Sure." Inuyasha replied. "Can I have that chocolate stuff that Kagome gave me?"

"Sure. Here you go." Mrs. Higurashi said as she put a few pieces on a small plate for Inuyasha.

Inuyasha immediately started to devour the Cocoa Puffs. Mrs. Higurashi couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

"What so funny?!" Inuyasha asked.

"Nothing." Mrs. Higurashi replied.

At School...

"Kagome! Come-on!" Honda said. "You're gonna be late for class."

"I know. I just feel guilty for leaving Inuyasha at home." Kagome replied.

"Well, you can't take him everywhere with you." Honda said. "You have to take control and draw the line somewhere. And he should be thankful that you're taking care of him until he can get to his regular size again."

"Yeah. I guess you're right." Kagome replied. Then she stopped dead in her tracks. "Shit! I have to make up my exam tomorrow! There's no way I'll be prepared!"

"Well, we could get together tonight and I could help you study." Honda suggested.

"Really? You'd help me study?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah!" Honda replied.

"Thank you so much!" Kagome yelled as she gave Honda a hug. "You're the best Honda!" Kagome said as she pulled away. "Now come on! We have to get to class!"

After School...

"I'm home!" Kagome called to her family.

"Hello dear! How was school?" Mrs. Higurashi asked from in the kitchen.

"Same." Kagome replied. "Hey Mom? I brought Honda home with me! He said he would help me study for my make up exam tomorrow!" Kagome said.

Then Mrs. Higurashi walked out from in the kitchen. "Honda! How are you?" Mrs. Higurashi greeted the boy.

"I'm doing fine Mrs. Higurashi. And you?" Honda asked.

"Good." Mrs. Higurashi replied. "Do you two want anything to eat?"

"No thanks. Do you want anything Honda?" Kagome asked.

"No I'm fine." Honda replied.

"OK. Well, go get your work done. Go on." Mrs. Higurashi shooed the kids off.

Kagome took Honda into her room and took out all her textbooks. "OK. I have everything covered except for math. And that's my worst subject too." Kagome said.

"Then get out your math book and I'll quiz you." Honda said.

"Here it is." Kagome said as she handed it to Honda. "I need to study chapters one through three."

"OK. First question: x over 5 equals 9 over 12. What is the value of x?"

"Hmm..." Kagome thought.

"It's 3.75!" Someone yelled.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled. "What are you doing out of the terrarium?!"

"Your mom took me out this morning! Thanks for leaving me there to rot!" Inuyasha yelled back.

"INU-" Then Kagome stopped. "Wait! How did you know the answer to the question?"

"I took one of your books and read it." Inuyasha replied.

"I needed that book!" Kagome yelled.

"Well what's that one that Honda's holding?!" Inuyasha yelled.

"That the new one that I had to buy!" Kagome yelled. "Don't take any of my books again!"

"Whatever." Inuyasha said as he jumped onto the bed.

"O...K... Next question: 8 over y equals 5 over 7. What is the value of y?"

Kagome thought about it for a while, doing the math in her head. "It's 11.5!" Kagome answered.

"Correct. OK. What is 2 plus 2x plus 3 minus x?" Honda asked.

"It's 5 plus x." Kagome replied.

"Correct." Honda replied.

Ten at night...

"Thanks for the help Honda." Kagome said.

"No problem. Hope you do well. I'll see ya tomorrow." Honda said as he walked out the door.

"Honda! Do you need a ride home?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.

"No thanks. It's not a far walk. Just down the street." Honda replied.

"Are you sure? It's pretty late." Mrs. Higurashi asked.

"Thank but no thanks." Honda replied.

"OK. Thank you for coming." Mrs. Higurashi said, then shut the door. "OK Kagome. Time for bed. You're gonna need a good night's rest so you'll be prepared for the exam tomorrow."

"Yes mom. Good night!" Kagome said as she walked up to her room to find Inuyasha asleep on her pillow.

She picked him up and put him back in the terrarium. She would make sure to tell her mom to not leave him out tomorrow. Then she got into her PJ's and got into bed and fell asleep.

AN- And that's the end of another wonderful day! Hope you liked it. I didn't get much homework so I was able to update sooner than I thought. Now I have to figure out what our favorite couple will do tomorrow.
