There a comical part here with Hojo. I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 6: Health questions

Kagome opened her eyes. She yawned and stretched her arms in the air.

Her eyes came to fall on the sleeping hanyou. He was comfortably curled up in his blankets. He looked adorable. She smiled down at him.

Kagome averted her eyes to the clock and they immediately widened. She was about to be late for school. She would have no possible way of getting there in time. She had expected to wake up early since she went to bed extremely early and she had forgotten to set her alarm clock. He mistake.

Kagome sat up quickly and moved the blanket aside. She tripped over a grumpy hanyou and didn't even spare a sorry. She went straight to her draws and grabbed a clean uniform.

"Hey what's your problem?" Inuyasha asked with fatigue.

"I'm going to be late for school!" Kagome said in panic.

"You're not going for another week."

"I'm going today. I need to. You can learn from my mom. She'll take you to work with her." Kagome grabbed her brush, clothes, makeup, and other things she would need as she ran to the bathroom.

"Hey Kagome." Sota greeted. Kagome wasted no time in pushing him to the side and going into the bathroom. Sota nearly tripped, but ignored it. He was already dressed and ready to go to school.

Kagome didn't hesitate to get changed and brush her hair and teeth.

Inuyasha stumbled out of the room with his hand on his head to keep it balanced, since it felt like it weighed a million pounds. He hated morning headaches. It would last until he was fully awake though.

He went to the stares and looked down them for a moment.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed as she ran into him. She had been to hastily to stop herself in time and went crashing into Inuyasha and they both fell down the steps. Inuyasha of course had taken all of the pain, because he had used his reflexes to make sure Kagome didn't get hurt. "I'm so sorry." Kagome said getting up. Inuyasha only rubbed his head farther and gave her a glare.

"Next time watch where you're going!" He bit out and walked into the kitchen for some food. Kagome huffed. She put her back pack down and grabbed a zipper up sweater from the hallway closet.

Kagome slipped the green, hooded sweater on. She would need it just incase it was a chilly morning. She picked her backpack up and slung it over her shoulder.

"Mom, I'm leaving!" Kagome called to her mother.

"Alright, you'll need to hurry. Have a nice day dear." Mrs. Higurashi replied. Kagome walked out the door with one last goodbye and a wave.

Mrs. Higurashi went to the counter and grabbed a glass slowly filling it with orange juice. She was a little concerned about her talk with Kagome last night and had a feeling it wasn't just a health question.

"So..' Mrs. Higurashi wasn't so sure how to word what she wanted to ask. She handed Inuyasha the glass of orange juice. He sniffed it and began to drink. "Have you and Kagome been planning on children?" Okay she definitely didn't want to say it like that.

Inuyasha's eyes amplified and he spit the orange juice out from his mouth, coughing.

"W.. what.. who said that!" He looked at Kagome's mother.

"Oh.. no one I was only wondering." She took a seat across from Inuyasha. You do know a child is a big responsibility? You and Kagome aren't ready for that yet." She continued. Inuyasha was blushing like crazy and wondered who put these ideas in this woman's head.

"What! Are you crazy? Who the hell said anything about me and Kagome having kids? We ain't having kids, we aren't even mates yet."

"It was just a question." Mrs. Higurashi answered. She decided to take note on the 'yet'. She would have to be careful with them and keep an eye on them whenever possible. She didn't mind them being together one bit, but if Kagome was thinking about children.. well she just couldn't have that at this point. Inuyasha and Kagome were too young for children of their own.

Meanwhile

Kagome walked quickly. She had a little bit of time. More than she thought she would have. Maybe she wouldn't be late after all.

She sighed. Good thing too. Her attendance was bad enough. She didn't need to add more tardy days to it.

Not that it mattered much. She didn't know how far she would make it in school. She had missed so many days. She had no idea whatsoever they were learning. She was actually a little glad Inuyasha had got stuck in her time with her. It would give her some time to catch up and after that they would try and find some way to get back to the others.

Kagome knew very well Inuyasha wouldn't enjoy being in her time for to long. He hated the smell. He didn't know like anything about it. He wouldn't like school. He would miss his freedom and demon slaying and he, like her, would miss the others. The only thing about this time that Inuyasha liked was probably her and the food.

Kagome looked up as she came to the school door entrance. Everyone was entering. It seemed the bell had just rang. 'Yes!' She thought happily. So she was just on time.

She ran to the school's entrance and ran through the doors and straight to her locker. She quickly tried remembering the combination. It wasn't much use since she hadn't used it in so long. She took out a slip from her backpack where she kept it. After a little bit of rummaging she found the slip and did her combination.

At this point people were entering the classrooms. She through her backpack in and grabbed all the necessary books. She looked at the door where the teacher stood with a tapping foot. Kagome gave her a nervous smile and grabbed the rest of her things and hurried past her teacher.

She sighed. She had made it. A few eyes were on her. Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka were all watching her. They looked glad to see she had made it to school. Shiyuu and Takamura were in her homeroom, but Chiyuu, Wakai, and Ichii weren't. Sadly Hojo was.

Kagome walked over to her desk at the back of the classroom. She waited patiently for the bell to ring. It wouldn't for another five minutes though, leaving her pretty much bored.

"Hey Kagome. You came." Eri said happily. Kagome nodded.

"Yeah. I had to rush not to be late." Kagome informed.

"So how are you feeling?" Ayumi asked.

"Yeah, how's that herpes going?" Yuka questioned. Kagome giggled timidly.

"Ah.." 'At least it's a real illness this time.' "Fine." She commented.

"Class calm down and wait for the bell." Kagome heard the teacher say. She noticed the class was very rowdy and throwing things.

"Did you study for that test?" Yuka asked.

"Test?" Kagome's eyes twitched nervously. "What test?"

"The one we have in math."

"Hey Kagome!" Kagome turned to see Shiyuu and Takamura looking her way.

"Where's that Inuyasha guy?" Shiyuu asked.

"I thought he was going to come with you." Takamura asked. "He was a pretty cool guy."

"Ah.. well he's going to come in a few days."

"Oh.. hey how about you and him come down to the club tonight?" Takamura solicited. "My uncle owns that one down on your street. I think it'd be cool to have Inuyasha and you come down there. They don't got any serious drinks or anything, so you don't got to worry about that. They have some bloody marries, but that all." Takamura gave Kagome a smile. "Since my uncle owns it, there wont be a problem getting you two in there.

"I.. don't know. I'll ask Inuyasha about it."

"Hey what about us?" All three of Kagome's friends said.

"What are you guys complaining about. You know Wakai invited Eri and if Eri comes you guys are going to too." Shiyuu said slyly while crossing his arms. "You'll definitely follow if Kagome comes." All three girls giggled.

"Well whatever." Takamura spoke. "Stop by and check it out."

"We'll try." Kagome replied. The bell rang. She gathered her books and stood up and walk off to her first period class, her friends followed behind her.

"Hey so, Kagome. Who's this Inuyasha? Is he the aggressive, two-timing, boyfriend you're always talking about?" Eri asked. Kagome blushed.

".. Um.. yeah." She walked into her math class and took her seat. She recalled being told there was a test in this class moments before and took a deep breath. Math had been her easiest subject, until the feudal era. When she started falling behind she found math to be the most complicated to catch up in.

"Alright class take your seats and prepare for a test." Ms. Tanaka educated. Kagome let her head fall on the desk. 'So there really is a test.' She hated this. She hated knowing she was going to take this test only to fail. She hadn't had anytime to study. She hadn't even known about this test until only moments before. She didn't have any idea whatsoever what this test was on, besides it was in the subject of math.

Ms. Tanaka began handing out the test one person out of time. When she got to Kagome she stopped. Kagome looked up at her in question. The teacher was smiling.

"I know you haven't been here for any of this. So just do you're best. You can come back and make it up if you like. I'll be here for extra help." Kagome nodded happily.

"Thanks, I'll need it." She commented. Ms. Tanaka handed her the test and walked off to the next student. Kagome looked at the test with a new found confidence. She began.

After Math Class

Kagome smiled happily. It was hard and she knew she probably failed, but she was glad the teacher had offered extra help and a chance to make up the test.

"Kagome." Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka walked up to her.

"So how'd you do?" Yuka asked.

"Horrible." Kagome answered with a smile. Her friends gave her an incredulous glance. "But I get to make up." They smiled in understanding. "And I'm going to stay after for extra help."

"You'll need it." Eri told. "So are you going to be coming to school tomorrow?"

"I don't know, but I'll be coming more often now. I think my illnesses are disappearing for a while."

"That's great!" All three girls hugged Kagome.

"What's great?" A familiar voice asked. All three girls turned to see Hojo standing with something in his hand.

"Kagome's illnesses are going away and she'll start coming to school more often." Yuka advised. Hojo's smile brightened.

"That's wonderful to here." He handed Kagome a basket. "Here." Kagome took it and opened the top.

"Ah..?"

"They're a bunch of antibiotics. I figured they'll help you out with something's. I made sure to buy all the most expensive kinds." He enlightened. Kagome nodded and smiled a fake one.

"Thank you. I'm sure they will..."'not' "...help." Kagome waved as Hojo walked off. He was much to persistent for her to handle.

Kagome went to her locker and put the basket in there, while she took out the books she would need for next period.

Last period

Kagome sat through the class listening to the speech Mrs. Oita was giving. It was a speech about anorexia and obesity. Kagome wasn't to interested in the conversation. It was all something she had heard before. They had learned the same things the years before and the year before that. They were only refreshing her memory.

"As we should all know smoking has been the number one killer in America for some time now. Statistics show obesity is catching up. Which is why it is very important we all have healthy eating habits and get plenty of exercise." Mrs. Oita grabbed a pointer and began to point to a chart. "If you will take out your food pyramids I'll explain a healthy diet."

Kagome took out the food chart from her folder and looked it over. She didn't really eat much of this stuff. She usually just ate whatever the feudal era had to offer, which was pretty much rice and fish, and of course she would bring modern ramen for Inuyasha. She had occasional brought other ninja foods there, but that was all.

She was bored looking over the chart. The soul reason she had come to school this day was to speak to the health teacher about hormones. She had been in the feudal era and missed the lesson. Kagome wasn't having the same urges today, as she had yesterday. She hoped it was only a one day thing. She didn't want to be driven to the wrong choices.

"All right you may put the charts away and prepare for dismissal." Mrs. Oita stated. Kagome put the chart away. "We'll talk more about this tomorrow."

The bell rang and all the students grabbed there things and began to leave. Kagome went straight to the health teacher.

"K.." Hojo stopped himself as he grasped the fact Kagome was speaking to the health teacher, so he listened in.

"Mrs. Oita.. we need to talk." Kagome adjusted her books in her arms. Mrs. Oita smiled at her.

"Of course. What is it you need?"

"Well you see.. I missed the lesson on teenage.." She coughed feeling a little embarrassed. Mrs. Oita nodded in understanding and Kagome continued. "Well I just wanted to know if it's normal for girls my age to have..." Deeper blush. "Urges.."

"Urges?" Her expression became confused. "There are many types."

"Well I don't know.." Kagome hated this and didn't want to continue. She wondered is she should even continue at all considering the urges were gone. "Urges for children and.. and.." Her face looked about to explode. Mrs. Oita waved her hand in awareness.

"No need to continue. I get it. Yes.. actually it is common. There's nothing to worry about. As long as you understand that it takes a lot of responsibility to have children and that it's not worth quitting school for, then you'll know that you should wait until your older for it."

"I know.. it was just a question."

"Alright than." Mrs. Oita smiled. "Have a nice day."

"I will, you too." Kagome walked out of the classroom to see Hojo standing there listening in at the door. "What are you doing?"

"Ah.. ah.." He stuttered. "I was just.. listening in." He answer hoarsely. Kagome frowned. "Kagome." Hojo grabbed her hand in a similar way as Koga. "I am here for you and if you need.. to settle your urges I'll help.." Kagome's eyes widened and her face became a maroon.

"What?" She pulled her hands away and smacked him. He had a red mark across his cheek and looked at her in surprise. "I'm fine thank you!" She stomped off to her locker. 'I can't believe he just said that!' She got all her things from her locker and went to her math class for some help.

Meanwhile/Later

Inuyasha paced around in the living room. Sota was sitting watching television an and Inuyasha happened to be in the way.

"Where is she. She's late." Inuyasha growled.

"Inuyasha, she probably just stayed for some extra help or something." Sota explained. Inuyasha only growled deeper.

"She should be back by now."

"If your so worried maybe you should go and find her." Sota suggested. Inuyasha looked at the door thinking it over. '

"Maybe you're right kid." Inuyasha grabbed his hat off the coffee table. He put it on his head and went straight to the door. As he went to open it he felt a pain on his face as the door slammed into it.

"Hey everyone, I'm home." Kagome said cheerfully. She failed to notice hitting Inuyasha right away. When she did notice she laughed a little nervously. "Sorry about that." She ran past him not in the mood for an argument. Inuyasha growled and rubbed his face.

"You should be!" He called to her as she ran upstairs.

That's the end of another chapter. I hope you liked it and if you have any suggestion I'm all ears.. or in this case eyes.
