CHAPTER 16 - Educational Wind

"Earth to Kagome!!!!" Sango yelled across the table. She was still in a stuporish shock from being kissed.

"Huh? Oh, sorry…"

"Finally. Could you pass the korokke?"

"Uh.. Sure." she didn't move an inch. Sango's vein popped.

'He… kissed me…. He kissed… oh…. Kami…' all that could go through her mind was Inuyasha. Inuyasha, Inuyasha, Inuyasha, more Inuyasha… you get the point.

"Ugh, here." Morobuku shoved the plate across the table. "Kagome, what is it that has you in the trance you are in?"

Silence.

"Um, if she's in a trance, would she hear you?" Sangarouka asked. 'Yep, an idiot…'' Sango thought, rolling her eyes.

The crew continued on with eating, every no and then looking up at Kagome to see if she had lifted her chopsticks.

- - place skip - -

"That would be 15,103.30 Yen, sir." The sales clerk said a little to peppy. It was all Inuyasha could do to keep himself from slashing the guy to ribbons right then and there. "Fine." the Hanyou yanked the money out of his wallet (to let you know, he hasn't been doing nothing while not studying and almost destroying his non-existent relationship with Kagome all week. He has been earning some dough, for this..)

While Inuyasha grabbed the small bag, the register said, "This must be some girl you're getting this necklace for… What's the occasion?"

"Keh, kris-mhas, I think that what she called it. Whatever…"

"Wow, you're getting stuff early. Smart man."

'Not really a man, you idiot.' he walked out of the store.

Inuyasha couldn't help but notice how many women kept on staring at invitingly on his way back to the shrine. It was unnerving. 'What are they staring at? Did my hat come off or something?' He walked faster.

The Hanyou was glad when he finally got back to his temporary home that no one was in path of himself and Sota's room. So, run, jump, avoid hitting the wall, and there he was, back in 'his' room.

After locking the door, Inuyasha ripped up some of the tatami, and pried open two of the floor boards. He retrieved the gift he got for Kagome/Christmas/whatever , and opened the velvet case, eyes relaxed so. It was a necklace (duh) , blazing with the reflection of silver. The only other thing besides the necklace-chain was a heart shaped ruby. 'By then, I gotta tell her…'

He closed back up the box, and placed it in the hole the floorboards made. After he was sure it was safe and not going anywhere, Inuyasha placed the floor boards back on top, and smoothed out the tatami.

- - back with Kagome- -

"Kagome?" Sango started, not looking away from the dish she was washing. Her friend was just standing by the sink, dish in hand, but doing nothing. It was getting annoying. "KAGOME!"

"KETSAWA!!!!!!!!!"

"Finally, your back to reality." She said, rubbing her ears. " Kagome, before you back to that stupid trance, what the hell happened between you and Inuyasha outside?"

"Huh?! What makes you think that something happened between us?"

" Well, you were perfectly fine before you went outside to apologize to him, and when you cam back inside, it was like you couldn't hear or see anything. Inuyasha also hasn't come back from outside (A/N - so she thinks), and you're blushing like your face was on fire."

"No I'm not!"

She flipped open a pocket mirror. "Yes, you are."

Kagome looked shyly at herself in the mirror, completely unaware of her completely crimson face. "Oh…"

"What happened?"

Kagome quickly stuck her head into the living room to make sure that no one was trying to listen into their conversation. Morobuku, Miroku, Sangarouka, and Shippou were all playing some Mario racing game of Sota's. She sighed.

"Well, what is it?" Sango asked again, allowing her friend to slide the kitchen door closed. "Inuyasha…" she thought back to the wonderful moment, and suddenly was filled to the brim of her being with joy. "He kissed me!!"

"WHAT?!"

" Well, only on the forehead, but that has got get me some more points over Kikyo, right?"

"I doesn't matter where, the fact that he kissed you is good enough."

"And…" her smile got even wider, if that was humanly possible. " He complimented me. He , indirectly, said I was pretty!"

Sango's mouth dropped wide open. She couldn't even remember the last time he complemented anyone, even himself. Well, actually, she could, but considering that he complimented Kikyo, followed by Kagome, was over two years ago, she didn't count them. "Are you sure we are talking about the same guy here?"

Rain began to beat down on the house.

"I know it's weird but, " She stopped. " Oh Kami…"

"What?"

"I completely forgot, tonight is a school night!"

Sango gasped. "AGH! YOUR MOTHER DIDN'T SHOW US THE STUFF ON PHYSICS YET!" The two sprinted straight out of the room. That is, right after they smacked their faces into the kitchen door.

"YOU GUYS, WE HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL TOMORROW! STOP PLAYING AND MOVE!" They screamed in unison. All except Morobuku and Sangarouka bolted upstairs and into their respective rooms. The two looked at each other, grinning slightly. "I guess it's a good thing we learned all of high school over the internet." Morobuku said, turning the video game back on. Sangarouka nodded slightly, and picked back up her controller.

Wind blew harder outside.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - WHAM, THWAK, CRUCH, SHATTER! The three girls in Kagome's room completely killed her alarm clock. Especially when they discovered that it had been an hour fast. It was crushed into powder. "I hate those things…"

Inuyasha woke up with the sound of destruction in the room next to him. He was about to run in there and kill whatever demon was trying to hurt them, but then heard one of the girls say something, and then laughter. 'What the hell?'

He yawned sleepily and pulled on some more clothes. Inuyasha had stayed up late that night studying all of those damned subjects, and now wished that who ever invented the Japanese education would explode. ( A/N - Dude, try the U.S. My band teacher is from hell)

He slipped on a red T-shirt and baggy jeans, since he didn't have a uniform yet. But with the shirt coming down onto his neck, he felt the small crystal that hung from his neck. With his long nails ( A/N - Miss. Higurashi also set up at the school that he had some horrible scalp disease, and had to wear the hat at all time. No worries on his ears being ratted out J ) , he picked up the tiny, brown crystal and pondered on what it could do.

There was a sudden crash from downstairs.

How many of you were completely ticked off about the whole not being able to update for that long?! It was killing me! I had just finished writing this chapter, and it says "November 24th, 2004 -- We have confirmed a serious bug which corrupted many entries dated pre-2003 during our last upgrade. A recovery process has started to resolve this issue. Upload access will be disabled until recovery completes." AAAAAAAAAAAAARG!

Please review? I know it wasn't very long and all, but still…
