For Better or For Worse
Chapter seven
The next morning Kagome woke up from the sound of her alarm clock.
She yawned and stretched in her place on the bed and then turned over to face the alarm clock.
She looked to see what time it was. Six oh two.
Good now I can go running with Shippou.
Kagome got up and dressed for school in a green tee-shirt with 'eat bananas' in the middle with some pictures of mini bananas. She threw on some jeans and put on her audios. She went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth and combed her hair then washed her face.
She ran out of the bathroom and checked on the time. Six thirty four.
She called Shippou from her room phone.
"H-Hello?"
"Hey Shippou! You want to go for a run before school?"
"K-Kagome? How are you up this early! You're usually the last one to get up!"
Kagome laughed into the phone.
"Ya I know. So you up for a run this morning?"
"Sure just let me actually get up. Where should we meet?"
"Uh, how about I meet you at your house so I can give you extra time to get ready. Is that ok?"
"Ya that sounds good. Ok so I'll see you in a little while."
"Ok, see ya later Shippou!"
Kagome hung up the phone and made her way towards her brother's room to wake him.
She went to the side of his bed and shook him until he opened one of his eyes.
"Souta wake up, school starts soon and I am going to go for a morning run with Shippou. I want you to be ready to go by the time I leave with Shippou ok?"
"Ok, ok sis what ever just five more minutes."
"No, twerp get up now!"
"Ok, ok sheesh."
Kagome laughed at her brother mood and helped him out of bed.
She let him get dress and went downstairs to the kitchen to make him breakfast.
She looked in the cabinets and found some oatmeal.
She took out a pan and started to boil water.
After ten minutes she poured in the oatmeal to cook.
She stirred it until it got mushy and thick, the way her brother loves it.
"Souta breakfast!" Kagome started to pour it into a bowl.
The next thing she new she heard her brother's foot steps on the stairs and on their way to the kitchen.
"Oatmeal! Thanks sis!"
Souta sat at the table and ate his oatmeal and Kagome made her way to her backpack and grabbed a granola bar.
She made her way to the front door and looked back at her brother.
"Souta, remember to brush your teeth and get to school on time. I am going to go. Call me on my cell if you have trouble." giggled Kagome.
"Oh come on sis. I think I can take care of myself."
"Ok, ok see ya Souta!"
Kagome put her backpack on her shoulder, stuck the granola bar in her mouth, opened the door, and made her way to Shippou's house.
She decided to jog to his house for the work out and made it there in a surprising time of ten minutes.
She ran up to his house and picked up a rock front the garden and threw it at his window.
She climbed up the fencing with vines leading up to his window.
Shippou looked out the window and opened it for Kagome to get in.
Shippou was cracking up. "So what did you do? Run here and then climb up into my window?"
"Ha, ha. Sorry I thought I would be late because it took me a while to get my brother ready for school and then I just decided to get to you in a more dangerous way."
Kagome said and put on a pure smile.
"Ya, ya, ok so you want to go jogging now? We have about twenty minutes until school."
"You bet!"
Shippou grabbed his backpack and ran down the stair to the front door with Kagome behind him.
"I think we should just jog our way to school because we only have fifteen minutes."
Shippou said as he closed the front door.
"Ya I was thinking the same."
They started to jog to the school and made it there in ten minutes.
Rin and Sango had already been at school and Shippou and Kagome saw them talking under a tree.
They were sitting on a bench under a tree in front of the school.
"Hey Sango! Hey Rin!" Kagome waved over to where they were sitting.
"Hey guys! Kagome your early for a change! What did you guys do, go jogging?"
Rin laughed.
"Ya Kagome called me at like six thirty this morning asking to go jogging. I never knew that she could wake up that early." Shippou smirked.
Kagome hit Shippou.
"Oh, here comes Miroku." Kagome said and gave Sango a look.
Sango blushed, but luckily only Kagome noticed it and giggled to herself.
"Hey Miroku! What's shaking?" Shippou said while give Miroku a hand shake.
"Nothing mu-why do I see Kagome here bright and early?" Miroku laughed
Kagome smiled, "You bet!"
"Oh ya I totally forgot. The new kid is coming today isn't he or she?" Rin changed the subject.
"Ya, I hope she's cute!" said Shippou.
Miroku laughed at his comment until he got a death stare from Sango.
"Nah, I have a feeling it's going to be a really cute boy!" said Rin.
"I hope Rin's right." Kagome laughed.
The bell rang.
"We'll well just have to find out ourselves. There's the bell." Kagome said as they started to walk towards the school's entrance.
