Just Another Day
Chapter 2 - Happenings of the Strange

The final bell had just gone off and Kagome and the others were heading out
to the oak tree. The area around the oak tree was a little warmer then every
where else and although they all noticed, no one said anything. And there
they sat in wait. After about ten minutes InuYasha gave a slight growl.

"Where is this stupid person!?"

Kagome sighed. "InuYasha.... BE PATIENT FOR ONCE!" InuYasha jumped.

"Owww.... My ear! MUST YOU ALWAYS YELL IN MY EAR!!!"

"IF YOU STOP COMPLAINING MAYBE I WILL STOP!"

"OWWWW!"

At this moment Hojo, who had stayed after school in the study hall, saw
Kagome and the others by the tree. 'Hmm... Should I try to ask her out
again? I didn't get a chance too earlier... I think I will' and with that he
walked over to her.

"Hey Kagome.... Would you like...."

At that moment Miroku, Who had been looking up into the branches of the
tree, saw the leaves rustle and then a note drift slowly down. He
interrupted Hojo knowing this was more important. Kagome would never go out
with Hojo and he knew it. "Kagome, Look another note!" He grabbed it and
handed it to her. Kagome turned away from Hojo and read the note aloud to
her friends.

"I can't tell you what I must tell you when you are with your
friends. I must meet you at another time when you are not with your friends.
I will alert you when I am ready. To Miroku, InuYasha, and Sango-- Have no
fear. I promise I have no intention of harming your friend. I only want to
talk to her. From--..."

Sango and Miroku sighed while InuYasha started complaining. "WHY CAN'T WE BE
HERE? I DO NOT CARE WHO THIS '...' IS WE WANNA BE HERE WE WILL!" Sango
decided to try and calm him down while Kagome was re-reading the note.

"InuYasha calm down! There is nothing we can do but do what this person
said."

"I don't care what this person said! I am not leaving her alone by herself
with this person!"

"But there is no way. '...' will just keep postponing talking to her! They
promised they would not harm her."

"I don...." -CLUNK! -

Miroku hit InuYasha over the head with his history book. "Stop it InuYasha.
There is nothing we can do but let her go. I do not want this to go on
forever!" Kagome finally looked up from the note. "So... I guess there is
nothing I can do but go... Alone.." Kagome gulped. She was never really the
brave type although she had her moments when she could be quite brave.
Though those didn't happen that often. "Ah well nothing to do about it. Time
to go home I guess. You guys want to come over and watch a movie?"

Hojo sighed. 'They have forgotten I am even here. I guess I better go.' He left
hearing the others agreeing and everyone heading over to Kagome's house. 'Am
I cursed to have no one notice me or what?'

::Back to the others::

They had just reached Kagome's house and Kagome headed to make some popcorn
and pizza rolls for everyone while she let the others argue over what movie
to watch. 'Hopefully Miroku won't choose' she thought, remembering the last
time he chose.

She walked in the living room with the food in tote and saw that they had
chosen Dumb and Dumberer. (Lets just say it was released in Japan ok?) She
smiled; it was her favorite comedy movie. She opened the window because it
was becoming warm again. 'Just like before when we were at the oak tree....'
she thought. She shrugged the though off and sat down with her friends. They
soon started laughing at Harry and Lloyd playing tag, and then that was when
it happened. A note flew in threw the open window and landed softly on her
lap. Everyone one grew quiet, ignoring the movie as she read the note out.

"Time is growing thin. I must talk to you soon before it is too late.
Tomorrow in the park by the cherry blossom trees. Bring no one. From--.."

Kagome gulped after she finished reading. "Well I guess this is it huh?...
Tomorrow after school. I wonder who this person is... and what they want."
InuYasha and Miroku just gave her concerned looks and Sango patted her arm.

"It will be ok..." She said and added to herself, 'I hope....'

Miroku broke the silence and spoke up. "I guess we better go. We have a lot
of homework after all and Mrs. Hiyata will murder us if we don't do her
assignment. She hates us so much." The others laughed and agreed. "Well I
will see you guys tomorrow I guess!" she said as she bid her friends goodbye
and let them out.

She sighed and turned off the t.v. "This homework is going
to take forever. Stupid history paper." She said to no one in particular.
She started writing when she heard her stomach growl. 'Hmm... That's right I
didn't eat dinner. I wonder where Mom and Sota are. I never heard them come
home...'

::Switch to Kagome's mom and Sota::

"Sota we have to go soon. I am sure Kagome is hungry." Kagome's mom (Anyone
know what her name is? Please tell me if you do.) told Sota who was sitting
by the hospital bed. "I guess so." his friend was in the hospital and they
were visiting him. He bid his friend's mom goodbye and his friend even
though he was comatose and left with his mom.

::Back to Kagome::

"Ok now I am worried. I wonder where they can be. I hope something didn't
happen to them." She said aloud. Then the door opened and there the missing
ones were.

"Hi Kagome, I hope you weren't worried. We were visiting Sota's
friends in the hospital." Kagome mom said as she locked the door.
Kagome hugged her mom and said, "You bet I was worried. You should have told
me that you weren't coming home. I worried something had happened to you!"

"I am sorry Kagome. I didn't know until today. He was just submitted to the
hospital today. Would you like to have some pasta with Alfredo sauce to make
up for it? I would make Oden since it is your favorite but we just ate it
last night so how about your second favorite?"

Kagome laughed at that, "Ok that sounds good"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok so how was the second chapter? Thanks to my friend for the setting of
receiving the second note and proofreading all this for my little mistakes.
Aw I wish I could have that pasta tonight like Kagome in this story.....
Whatever. I want to thank my first two reviewers for making me smile a huge
smile and causing me to actually write a second chapter. I would have put it
off without you. And with that I leave you with a good bye for now and a
please review!
