(A/N): Hi! This chapter is a gift 4 Children's Day even though most of us are no children anymore (weeps). It's been a while since I last updated (marks days with her fingers). Hmmm it wasn't that much was it?
INUYASHA: Of course it wasn't you moron!
MASE: Hey! Don't call me a moron you idiot!
INUYASHA: I'll call you whatever I wish to!
MASE: Really? Okay, you'll pay for this (evil grin).
INUYASHA: Yeah right as if you could make me suffer.
MASE: Oh yeah, let's see what you think about this chapter...
INUYASHA: Wha--?
Mase starts making changes on the script as she chuckles as Naraku.
MASE: Where should I add Jakotsu...?
INUYASHA: Shit... This time I screwed things up...
Disclaimer: I own Inuyasha! Mwahhaha-cough-hahaha-hack, oh never mind... (still don't, sigh).

Chapter 6:
Detention Part 2
Kagome stared at her reflection in the crystal like water inside a rusted old bucket. She touched her cheeks and fixed some locks of her midnight hair. Then she dipped her fingers on the water's surface and her face disappeared within the ripples, when the image returned she blushed as Inuyasha's reflection joined hers. He frowned, then his hand in the reflection approached her until it started combing and playing with her hair. The real Kagome blinked and turned to the real Inuyasha who effectively was touching her hair and brushing it with his fingers. She blushed and looked back at the water.
" You didn't tell me your name."
Kagome blinked again and turned to him redder.
" I am..."
Inuyasha leaned forward in anxiety.
"My name is Kagome, Kagome Higurashi."
" So, you're Kagome. Nice name."
Kagome smiled and returned to her normal color.
" You really think so?"
Inuyasha nodded as he continued combing her hair.
" And I like your eyes too."
Kagome gasped and blushed once again. Inuyasha sighed and looked directly at her maple eyes. His face was reflected on them, which looked shiny, as if light seemed to live inside her eyes.
" You resemble to Kikyou."
Kagome's smile faded as she humphed.
" Like her?"
Now she was starting to feel disappointed.
´ But of course, stupid! She's his girlfriend, why is he not supposed to like her looks? ´
Even though her mind told her that, her heart was being shattered. Maybe he wasn't the one after all.
" But..." continued Inuyasha, "You're prettier."
(A/N): I kind of feel Inuyasha out of character but it's nice to make him nice once in a while, right?
Kagome's eyes widened as she turned redder and turned her back at him smiling widely.
" Thanks."
It was the only thing she could say. She wanted to tell him her feelings but the words were gone, her voice had vanished.
Suddenly something came to her mind that made her smile disappear. She turned back at him.
" But what about her? Won't Kikyou get bothered? I mean, about what you're saying?"
Inuyasha nodded sadly.
" I'm not a two timer."
" No, definitely not," said Kagome sarcastically.
Inuyasha turned to her and nodded, "Yeah, but we can be friends at least."
" Really?"
" Yeah, a nice friendship won't harm anybody."
Kagome smiled again and nodded.
" So..." whispered Inuyasha, "Why were you crying this morning?"
Kagome sighed sadly and turned her face away.
" I had..." she paused and turned back at him with misty eyes, "... I had a discussion with my stepmother Tsubaki."
" Really? Why?"
Kagome sniffed slightly, " She doesn't treat me as her daughter..."
She felt as the warm tears trailed down her cheeks. She whipped them away but they just continued coming out. She looked at Inuyasha's golden orbs and covered her face.
" I'm sorry, I'm such a cry baby..."
Just when she was done with saying these she felt as Inuyasha's warm arms embraced her body. His fingers played with her hair as his chin lay on top of her head.
" Don't worry, you can explain everything to me..."

Sango served a client his donuts and turned towards the counter, Tsubaki was pondering about where Kagome was, Momiji and Botan were attending other people while serving their meals or being on the cash register. Shippou cooked and gave some orders to the other waitresses, Kaguya, Asagi, and Sara. She sighed and headed to the bathroom, there she took her uniform off and put her clothes back on, then turned to her watch.
" 3:15," she whispered silently as she headed to the door and waved goodbye to her friends.
´I did my best here, I hope Kagome arrives soon enough...´
She was about to leave when suddenly Tsubaki got in the way and pushed her back.
" What are you doing...?" replied Sango as she glanced at her watch again.
Tsubaki smirked evilly, " You are her closest friend, tell me where is she! Now!"
Sango rolled her eyes and sighed heavily.
" Why don't you check your cell phone, she sent you a message."
Tsubaki opened her purse and looked for any new messages. She frowned and turned to Sango.
" It only says that she will be late home. That's all, what I want is an explanation. I told her to come early to work here. My punishment was going to be for her to work and extra turn but I guess I'll think of another one."
She smiled evilly at Sango who growled silently.
" Why don't you just give her a break, I mean she's you daughter!"
Tsubaki snarled at Sango who sweatdropped.
"She's not my daughter."
Tsubaki's tone of voice made Sango stiffen and flinch with fear.
" She's at school in detention."
Tsubaki turned to the door and saw her daughters, Ruri and Hari who were grinning mischievously.
"She didn't get the bus so she was late," said Hari.
" She will be here maybe until 4:00 or 4:30," continued Ruri.
" Detention, eh? Oh, that girl's gonna me..."
Sango clenched her fist, " It was not her fault! She told me that those two didn't allow her to enter the bus!" She shouted as she pointed at Ruri and Hari.
" Well, I don't care. She is punished and you better watch your mouth girl." Tsubaki said this as she and her daughters left the place.
" And one more thing, go tell her she can walk from school to home 'cause I won't go to get her."
Sango humphed angrily as Tsubaki, Ruri, and Hari got on their car and drove away. Sango stared as the three witches' disappeared from sight. A cold breeze blew making Sango cover herself with her jacket and shiver. The sky slowly darkened as grey clouds made there way through the once blue heavens. She turned skywards and stretched her hand. Cool raindrops fell smoothly on her palm. All of a sudden she felt a pain and removed her hand. She took a glance at her palm and saw tiny bits of ice. It was raining awfully hard and the thunders echoed loudly everywhere.
" It's raining cats and dogs!"
She turned to her watch and her eyes widened, "Shoot! I'm late!"

Kagome held to Inuyasha's chest tightly as she sobbed silently. Inuyasha petted her back and his fingers continued combing her hair.
" So your father died, eh?"
She nodded slightly as she clung tighter on him. Inuyasha felt her tense body and held her tighter in a warm embrace.
" I feel like I have nobody who really understands me, like as if I was alone in this world," sobbed Kagome.
Inuyasha held her tighter and smiled sweetly.
" It's okay, you can count on me always Kagome..."
Kagome smiled as his arms covered her body. That warm feeling overflowing her shoulders and back. The tears slowly dried as Kagome felt less tense and a slight blush appeared.
" I will be there to help you."
Kagome nodded as she loosened her hold on his chest, " Arigatou..."
