Kagome woke up sweaty in the middle of the night. Her face was burning up and she had no idea what happened. She thrashed the sheets off of her and she dashed to the bathroom and tried hard to see herself through the mirror since there was no light. Her face was fine and the burning had gone away. How weird. She rinsed her face with cold water and went back to her room.
She woke up a couple of times with the same reaction. But she kept getting used to it as the hours went by.
The next morning it was saturday and she "woke" after a night of restlessness. She set out an outfit: a red tank top and frilly jean skirt. These clothes were old but expensive. She'd bought them when she lived with her father. He was wealthy enough to afford everything she wanted. But now she had nothing.
She got undressed and she turned the bath water onto hot. She closed the door and stepped in the tub. She gasped at how hot it was, but she got used to it as her whole body sunk in the water. She leaned down until her whole body except her head was out of the water. She relaxed, which most of the time she was unable to do.
Kagome began to lather her hair with cheap shampoo and conditioner. Luckily her hair was soft with any kind of brand shampoo, because her mom's hair was knarly with the shampoo they could only afford. She took a breathe and sunk her head in the water to rinse it out-- then the phone rang.
She popped up out of the water and breathed. She was shocked and confused-- but she realized it was the phone
Kagome jumped out of the tub and threw a towel over herself and she rushed to the phone in her room.
She picked it up, but said nothing.
"Uh... is Kagome there?" A voice asked.
She shrugged.
"Hello?"
She breathed once, trying to let the person know she was there.
"Oh it is you! It's me, inuyasha." The voice sighed. " oh yeah...I forgot about that, you can't talk. What am i gonna do with a phone number talking to a mute? Sorry..."
She giggled a little.
"What's so funny-- i mean-- uh... see you at school." Inuyasha seemed smally disappointed.
Kagome nodded and hung up. Strange. He didn't realize that she wouldn't talk on the phone? She went back to the bath tub and got back in, relaxing a little more.
She sat there, wishing she would bring herself to talk to inuyasha. It couldn't be that hard. She tried to force herself to say something, but she shook her head. No way was she going to talk just for some guy she didn't even know.
