Chapter 4
Kagome finally made it to her class. Most of the students were running laps, though some were walking or just chatting, as they normally did. The teacher stood off to the side, watching the class without really paying much attention. She looked over at the door lazily, her eyes landing on Kagome. Immediately she walked over to Kagome.
"Higarashi, why are you late?" She demanded.
"I was showing a new student to his class. Mr. Hawking wrote me a pass." Kagome handed the pass to the teacher and stood waiting for the teacher to approve the pass.
"Alright. Go change." She crumpled the note in her hand and returned to her position watching over the students.
When Kagome came out of the locker room the teacher called the class to her, ready to tell them what activity they were doing for the day.
"Free day." Was all she said. She normally had something planned for them, like volleyball or basketball. It was strange that she didn't. "Higarashi, come here." The teacher made sure the other students were doing something before she turned toward Kagome. "You're running laps today, for being tardy." She didn't wait for a reply before she moved off to the side.
Kagome sighed and started jogging around the track, her mind on other things as she ran.
Finally the bell rang and Kagome was free to go to Biology. As Kagome walked into class she noticed Isamu already sitting in his seat reading a book, he didn't seem to notice her as she set her books down on her desk.
"Did you find your way here alright?" Kagome asked him as she slid into her seat next to him.
"Ya. Thanks for the help this morning. I hope you didn't get in trouble for being late." Isamu marked the page and closed the book, turning slightly in his seat to talk to Kagome. Kagome laughed slightly.
"The pass Mr. Hawking wrote helped, but I still had to run laps all hour for being late. But it's ok, running laps isn't that hard." Kagome shrugged.
"Higarashi-san..." Isamu started.
"It's Kagome." Kagome interrupted.
"Kagome, would you like to have lunch with me?" Isamu asked quickly, surprising Kagome. "To thank you for helping me yesterday and today."
"Sure." Kagome agreed. They both turned to the front of the class when the teacher started to write the days lesson on the board.
Isamu snuck a glance at Kagome while the teacher was checking in homework. She was working on the assignment the teacher had just assigned.
"Kagome, could you help me with this?" Isamu whispered to Kagome. He understood it, but it was another excuse to get closer to Kagome. His plan depended on being close friends with her.
"Ya." Kagome leaned over to look at what Isamu was working on. It wasn't the biology assignment; it was the geometry homework.
"I didn't understand it." Isamu explained. "My class wasn't this far at my old school." Kagome nodded and closed her book.
"Do you understand any of it?" Kagome asked, she wasn't to good in Geometry herself, but help from a student who at least partially understood it was better than having the teacher lecture you for an hour and confusing you more.
"I understand how to do these parts." He pointed to some of the later steps to one of the problems.
"Good." Kagome smiled. "Those are the parts I don't understand, but I can do the rest of it fairly well, so I can be of some help."
Kagome worked carefully through some of the problems, explaining them as best as she could. She had just finished the last problem he didn't understand when the bell rang.
"Thanks Kagome." Isamu said as they gathered their books and left the classroom.
"What was your old school like?" Kagome asked suddenly. They went to Kagome's locker first because it was closest to the science halls. Isamu was surprised. He had thought that someone might ask about his old school, which was non-existent, but he had hoped that it wouldn't be Kagome.
"My old school...." He searched his mind for something, anything, he could say, but nothing he knew would be of use in this situation.
"Ya." Kagome slammed her locker and they started walking toward Isamu's locker.
"It's.... difficult.... to describe my old school." Isamu finally said. Kagome nodded encouragingly. "I don't really want to talk about it." Isamu finished quickly, knowing that Kagome wouldn't ask anymore about it until he was ready to talk.
They walked into class silent. Not many people were in the room, but it was normal, most people didn't show up until right before the bell rang.
An: I know it's a short and meaningless chapter, nothing really happened, and I'm late in posting, but I've got writers block right now and I really needed to get this chapter out. I should have posted it on Wednesday, but it wasn't even half written then. I was too depressed.

A Heart So Pure- I'm glad your back, and that you didn't hurt yourself falling down the stairs, lol. I don't really know how soon Inuyasha will be returning, there are several things that have to happen first, or so my muse says.
Kanna fan- I'm glad you like it!
Pinayazngrl- I'm happy you like. I'm sorry that I'm late with this post, I'm not to happy about not being able to keep posting every wednesday (or close to it). oh well. I hope you enjoyed the short chapter.
