Across Time part 6
Its been a while since I wrote some more AT. Sorry all, actually I had a chapter last week, but the
problem is that I had to leave before I could update. I just got back from a trip. Here it is.

-fuma-the-dragon-of-earth- Of all the things I'm going to change I'm afraid that is probably not going
to be one of them. Guys are different I guess, we don't particularly go into detail about kissing. Use
your imagination ;).
-Airen2- The grip is the outer ring of the steering wheel. And no Inuyasha won't be enrolled in school
like TFAC. I have other ideas :D
-Admiral Biatch- I'm not sure I understand what you think is a bit off. Could you be more specific?
-The Authoress L - Ehehe you should have realized from TFAC I won't be so swift in the kissing
department :D
-Inuyasha's-Princess12- A really good one is 2004 Dorei Youkai Tokyo by Midoriko-sama. Tell her Wedge
sent you.

Kagome softly hummed to herself as she exited from her last class of the day. Behind Kagome,
her three confused and almost completely ignored friends followed. Eri leaned in towards Yuka, who
walked in between. "Did you manage to talk to her during class?" she asked in a hushed whisper. Yuka
shook her head. "I couldn't get a word out of her. She was doodling something on her notebook all
hour." Ayumi shrugged. "It's better than her half crying all hour though, isn't it?" she asked, holding
a pencil in her mouth. The other two girls nodded in agreement. "Did something happen between her and
Hojo I wonder? Do you think they got back together?" asked Yuka, scratching her head as all four girls
turned to the right down the hallway.
Eri shifted her bag to the other hand. "I doubt it, Hojo is off on a college trip to Osaka to
study city planning (If you know anything about Osaka you'll get the joke) all of this week. He won't be
back till Monday. I guess he could have called her though." Ahead of them Kagome, who had picked up the
pace slightly, exited one of the open main doors of the school. Ayumi turned towards Yuka, still chewing
on the eraser of her pencil. "Let's just ask her. We'll have plenty of time on the walk home." Yuka
glanced at the girl. "Door Ayumi." Ayumi raised her eyebrow and took the pencil out of her mouth. "Door?
What do you mean-" Ayumi ended her sentence abruptly as she collided with a closed glass door. The other
two girls sighed as they passed through two of the less solid portals to the outside.
A few seconds later Ayumi, who was rubbing a red mark on her cheek, joined her two companions
outside. Both were looking around the school grounds, perplexed. "Now where did Kagome run off to?"
murmured Eri.
*******************************************************************************************************
It had been the first day in weeks that Kagome had gotten out of bed. Sure she had drug herself
out to go to school out of necessity and sometimes she had been helped out by a sympathetic family member,
usually her mother. And of course many times she hadn't even bothered to get out, having not the will to
face the day. But today, Kagome GOT out of bed. Life had meaning once again it seemed. Needless to say
her family, who hadn't seen her change in mood last night as she had gone to bed early (not an uncommon
occurrence the last few weeks) so that tomorrow would come sooner and she would be fully aware to face it,
had been more than a little shocked at her sudden mood swing. Even Buyo seemed to sense the change as
Kagome, carrying her school bag, came down for breakfast with her hair meticulously brushed into place
and sporting a smile not forced for the sake of her family.
"Good morning!" Kagome said cheerfully to her bewildered family. Silence was her reply as her
family stared at Kagome, who didn't notice. Mrs. Higurashi was the first to recover. "Ah.. Good morning
sweetheart... Ready for breakfast?" Mrs. H. asked, smiling slightly. Kagome beamed at her mother and shook
her head. "Not today, I'll be late for school if I don't go now." she said as she made her way passed her
staring brother and grandfather (and cat) towards the main door. Her mother intercepted her half way there.
"At least come into the kitchen and you can grab something to eat on the way. It's not good to go to
school on an empty stomach." she insisted, not waiting for an answer as she half pushed her daughter into
the kitchen.
As soon as they were inside Mrs. Higurashi slid the door shut and turned to her daughter, a look
of concern covering her face. "Kagome, what's wrong?" she asked in a motherly tone, placing her hands
gently on Kagome's shoulders. Kagome's smile grew a little and she hugged her mother before ducking under
her arms and proceeding to the kitchen counter where a tray of breakfast pastries sat cooling. "Nothing's
wrong Mama, everything is great!" The young miko said as she gingerly picked up one of the pastries.
Mrs. H turned and put a hand on her face. "You didn't.... do anything yesterday, did you?" Kagome's cheeks
reddened slightly, knowing exactly what she meant by 'do anything'.
Kagome bit into her pastry to hide her expression. Mmm apple, her favorite. It would taste a lot
better if her mother wasn't looking at her the way she was. "Kagome, you know can tell me anything." her
mother said softly, moving close behind her. Kagome sighed and swallowed before turning to her mother.
"It's not what you think momma. I promise I'll explain when I get home. I have to go somewhere for a while
first, but then I'll come back and explain everything, though it's going to sound a little unbelievable.
But right now, I'm going to be late for school." Kagome gave her mother a farewell hug. Mrs. H hesitated
for a moment before returning it. "All right dear, I'll see you later."
A few moments later, Kagome pulled away and headed out of the kitchen with her bag and half eaten
pastry. She wasn't surprised to find her brother and grandfather listening in through the door, but gave
her brother a playful ruffling of the hair and her grandfather a kiss on the head as she left despite of
it.
When she arrived, a full thirty minutes before the bell, her friends were equally baffled at her
change. They tried to pump information out of her but only got as vague an answer as Mrs. Higurashi, but
with not promise to explain. Kagome wasn't in their grasp for very long, as she almost immediately excused
herself to go talk to a few teachers before school. Her teachers were, of course, more than happy at her
renewed interest in learning and were glad to explain as much as they could of what they had been teaching
while Kagome was in her depressed funk.
And so the day began. Her notes, when on occasion she had taken them, were no longer dotted with
tears and Kagome actually paid attention to what the teachers talked about. At lunch she spent her time
playing catch up with her teachers, with the added benefit of her friends not having a chance to drag the
truth out of her during the lunch hour. The last hours of the day, however, began to get tedious as her
anxiousness to see Inuyasha began to fill her mind, as well as make her all but forget the events at the
shrine steps last night.
By her final class Kagome had stopped even trying to listen, instead perfecting the art of
doodling Inuyasha and Shippo on every surface available as the hands of the clock moved torturously slow.
When at last the bell rang, Kagome practically leapt out of her seat. With a quick bow and goodbye to
her math teacher, Kagome exited the class room humming a nameless tune. Her friends were right behind her
talking about what seemed to be their favorite subject, her. Kagome had oftened wondered if the girls knew
that she could hear every word they said or if they simply thought that Kagome was half deaf. Kagome was
leaning towards the second one.
Kagome laughed softly as they mentioned Hojo. 'I wonder if Inuyasha ever saw Hojo?' Kagome mused.
It was something to ask him about, among other things of varying importance. Now that the initial shock
of the appearance of Inuyasha and Shippo was over Kagome had quite a few things she wanted to talk about
today. All the more reason to hurry up she decided, increasing her walking speed. The moment she was out
of the school Kagome broke into a run, forgetting completely about her nosy friends and their questions.
Kagome's pace didn't slacken until she was far from the school campus and to a part of the town
that was busier, making it impossible to run without lots of called out apologies and dirty looks from
other denizens of the city. She could have run the entire way to Inuyasha's home easily, running for your
life all the time did that to a girl, if it hadn't been for two things. The first was of course was the
numerous people and vehicles impeding her way. The second was a bit harder to solve. She hadn't exactly
been paying attention to which direction she was going when she had followed Inuyasha to his home and it
had been too dark to see much when he had driven her home, though again she hadn't really been paying
attention anyways.
It was fairly easy to find the main road, Oo-dori, after a few minutes of searching, starting at
where she had gotten ice cream with her friends. Oo-dori was parallel to the road the shrine was on and
intersected with the road her school was located. She had yet to find it, but Kagome would later realize
that her shrine, the school, and Inuyasha's house made something of a triangle, with Inuyasha's home
being nearly midway between the others.
Much more time was spent, however, roaming down the street and checking the smaller roads that
branched off into neighborhoods. She had lost count when she finally saw a home she recognized. Another
minute of walking down the found street, called Kimomoto, and she could see the walled figure of the
home she was searching for. She breathed a sigh of relief as she finally arrived at the gate. The road
was completely barren of life, with the exception of the infrequent passage of a car. Now the only
question was how to get inside... She didn't see a doorbell, making Kagome wonder if visitors were rare
in the household of the two youkai. Around her, dogs suddenly started barking and she heard a familiar
voice from behind her say a familiar phrase. "You're late."
