Having returned to school from the feudal era, Kagome was having a hard time catching up.
"Alright for the next week you're going to be paired up and will work on a project. I will assign the partners. moans Anyway, your project will be to choose a famous author and write a biography or an interview, one of you being the author. Now I will read of your partners."
"Toshiro Harigatu
and Haruko Yashada"
"Kagome Hirugashi and…
Kagome stood as still as possible.
"…Tamiko Shiyumo."
Kagome placed her head on the desk and groaned. How could this happen! She didn't even know who Tamiko was, if that was even possible. She noticed Tamiko glance over and groan as well.
"Please join up and discuss with your partner what author you're deciding to do and whether a biography or interview." Tamiko slowly rose from her chair and walked over to Kagome.
"Hi. You're Tamiko?"
"Uhh…yeah."
"Do you like … Kagome thought or a moment … William Shakespeare?"
"Yeah do you want to work on him?"
"Alright William Shakespeare it is."
"Umm … how about we gather … oh biography or interview?"
"Hmmm…biography."
" Okay…should we gather information at each other's house?"
"Alright that works." 'Especially since I have to go back soon.'
"Mom, I'm home. no answer Mom!"
"Mom's still at work." Tamiko jumped.
"Yoko, don't do that!"
"Well you were yelling or mom even though she's not here."
"This is surprising," Tamiko said sarcastically.
"Oh someone named Kagome stopped by. She said you need to meet her in the library 10 minutes before school starts."
"Alright." Tamiko grabbed her stuff and climbed upstairs to change.
Kagome jumped into the well and ran for Kaede's hut.
"Inuyasha! I need to…" Inuyasha appeared in front of her.
"What!"
"Umm…mumbles I need to stay for another 6 days."
"What! No way! You've stayed long enough!"
"It's just 6 more days. I need to catch up!"
"No!"
"Ugg! Inuyasha!" Inuyasha shrunk away knowing what was going to happen. "You're so insensitive, a jerk, and an idiot. begins crying You have no idea how hard it is. Having to be in two different eras while trying to catch up." Inuysha felt bad.
" Kagome I'm sorry. Uhh… you can stay longer."
"Thanks!"
"Well get going!"
"Bye." Kagome with a smile on her face and jumped back into the well.
Next Morning.
"Hi Tamiko."
"Uhh… hi. Here. hands Kagome a stack of paper
"What's this? Kagome glances at papers Wow, you summarized all this?"
"Yeah."
"I feel bad. I don't have anything."
"That's alright."
"Uhh oh yeah. Can you meet at the end of school? Could you find out if it's okay if you could walk home with me? For the project?"
"Uhh… sure. calls her mom's cell
Phone Call"Mom?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I go over to a friend's house?"
"I guess. I'm getting of early today, so yes."
"Thanks. Bye. Tamiko shut the phone and placed it back in her book bag. It's okay."
"Great, see you after school." Kagome ran off and Tamiko stood there for a moment before leaving.

"Hey. Are you ready?"
"Sure."Tamiko silently started to follow Kagome until after finally reaching her house.
"Here we are. enters house Hey mom."
"Why hello Tamiko."
"Hi." Tamiko went went upstairs with Kagome into her room.
"So I was thinking we could both work on different parts of the biography but I wanted to type it up."
"Oh that's okay. I have a laptop. pulls out laptop See? I can just save it on a C.d. and print it on your computer."
"Alright, how about I work on his from birth to age 15 and you work on the rest. Okay?"
"Sure." They were working or about 15 minutes when Inuyasha barged in.
"Kagome come on. You have to go." Tamiko spun around and screamed. She took a pillow and repeatedly started to whack Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha!"
" Uh oh."
"Kagome… you know him!"
"Uh yeah."
"Sorry Kagome." Inuyasha nervously sat down by the bed afraid she was going to say the word sit
