Chapter 1: Feeling Small
It had been awhile since Kagome had been in school. Her constant adventures in the past had really kept her busy and she feared her grades were slipping far too much. Inuyasha was quite insistent that she not return to her time but Kagome managed to convince him with a single word. It was cruel to force Inuyasha to the ground but Kagome was really concerned about her grades. Sitting in her chair, listening to her teacher, Kagome sighed a little and tried her best to catch up to the rest of her class. She had missed too many classes lately.
When it was time for her gym class, Kagome and her friends headed for the girls locker room.
"So, Kagome, how are things going with your boyfriend?" Yuka asked as the girls began changing into their gym clothes.
"Alright, I guess... He's been a little preoccupied because he got into a fight with a pretty bad guy." Kagome answered.
"Huh? A bad guy?" Ayumi asked.
"Yeah, this guy is the reason that he and his ex broke up." Kagome answered.
"Huh? What did this guy do?" Eri asked.
"It's a long story." Kagome responded.
As her friends had already changed, Kagome realized how slow she had been. "Well, we're going on ahead." Yuka said.
Kagome just nodded and watched as all the other girls had already left. She was alone. She just sighed and realized she had taken her time not because she scrambled to explain her current situation with Inuyasha but because she may have been holding herself back to appear slow so as to convince her friends that her "constant illnesses" weren't so obviously fake.
Kagome closed her eyes and sighed as she closed her locker. A strange sensation came over her body. Kagome opened her eyes. Everything was huge. "What happened? Everything's so big. OH NO! I... I've been shrunk." Kagome realized to herself."This makes the second time this has happened to me. But wait... how did it happen? This doesn't make sense. We don't really get a lot of magical activity in this era." Kagome wondered to herself.
Kagome was relieved that her gym clothes had been shrunk with her. "At least I have something to wear. But now it'll look like I just went missing. I guess I should try to get home and hope Inuyasha finds me. His sense of smell will help him locate me. I should try to get as close to the well as I can. At this height, I'm sure my smell is a lot less potent. I think I'm about as small as Myouga-jichan." Kagome realized.
"KAGOME!" A loud, booming voice called as the locker room door opened.
"That's Yuka's voice! Oh no, I'm so small that she could step on me." Kagome thought to herself.
Kagome searched frantically for a place to avoid being stepped on. She ran to the wall opposite the door to the locker room and started shouting. "YUKA! I'M DOWN HERE!" Kagome cried out.
Yuka simply turned around and headed for the door, confused that she couldn't find Kagome. Kagome decided to take a chance and ran behind Yuka in an attempt to get out of the locker room. Staying a relatively safe but still close distance, Kagome exited the locker room when Yuka opened the door to leave. Yuka walked off but Kagome had more important concerns than following her friend and now had to think of a way to get out of the school as quickly as possible without getting stepped on.
Kagome sighed. She managed to get out of the locker room, but she knew the trek out of the school would prove to be much more difficult. "I really wish Inuyasha was here right now." Kagome said aloud.
