Kagome woke up ten minutes till school started. Darn it! I'm gonna be late to school again. She raced throught brushing her hair, putting on her clothes, eating breakfast, and brushing her teeth. Then she raced out the door towards her school. She just barely made it to her first class. First hour was homeroom. Then she had gym, chorus, reading, english, math, history, science, and computers. She was a little late changing into her gym clothes. Today was her first gym class.
She noticed that Inuyasha and his gang were in this gym class as well. Kagome thought they looked like a happy group. She smiled as she thought about last night. She loved being on stage. People noticed she had a really big smile on her face but they ignored her. Koga walked up behind her and said,"Sup sexy? Do you wanna go out with me this Saturday." "Koga how many times do I have to tell you to stop playing rock, paper, scissors because you seem to be on a losing strike. Oh and next time you lose look for some other sap to ask out." Everyone in the room gasped they expected her to be miss goody-twoshoes. That is everyone except Inuyasha.
Mrs. Brigmon told the class to settle down. "Today we're going to start archery. It is a sport of great skill and hand eye coordination. Does anyone know a person who is a good archer." Everyone in the room raised his or her hand. "Um Sango who is a famous archer." "I think Mina is like one of the world's best archers. She has style, grace, and a great form." Kagome smiled inwardly. Some people really did appreciate her art. She was going to pass this class easily.
"Ok I picked partners for you to work on archery with. Here's the list. Look for you and your partners' name. The bows and arrows are over there. Get started." Kagome scanned the list for her name. Her and Sango were partners. "Hi I'm Sango." "I'm Kagome." "It's nice to meet you." "Likewise, I'm sure. Ready to get started?" "Of course." The two girls ran to get their stuff. They hurried back to their target. She told Sango she could go first. Sango first shot missed hitting anything on the mat. The second shot she made hit outside of it but just barely. The third shot hit the outer line. Kagome said,"You're too stiff when you shoot. It also takes concertration. Like this." Kagome shot all three arrows at the center and hit dead on every time. She was using all her power to keep her mikko powers from showing. Everyone in the room gasped. "Wow Kagome that was impressive. I had no idea you had such skill. We should have become friends earlier. Wanna sit with me and my friends at lunch?" "Sure" Then the class was over. The gym teacher stopped her and asked if she could give some pointers next class because she was the best shooter she'd seen in ages. Kagome was happy to oblige.
The rest of the day went by in a happy bliss. People had begun to actually talk to Kagome. She sat with Sango at lunch and found herself across the table from Inuyasha.
Inuyasha smiled to himself. Time to get even he thought. "Hi again? Do you plan on knocking me over again?" "That was an accident and I said I was sorry, ok!" Sango and Miroku glanced at each other. How'd they know each other anyway. Inuyasha answered for them,"We ran into each other at the Mina concert last night. Someone was in a hurry to get home." "Well it was getting late and I couldn't very well protect myself." "Oh, I don't think that statement is quite right. Remember when you threw me over your shoulder." Kagome gasped,"That was you." Sango and Miroku burst out laughing. They couldn't imagaine this scrawny little girl throwing Inuyasha over her shoulder. Kagome stood up and said,"It's been nice talking to you all but I got to go. Sango if you wanna hang out sometime that would be awesome." She quickly left them in awe.
Miroku smiled at Inuyasha. "I think someone has a crush." "As if! My back is still sore from last night." "Did the mighty Inuyasha get beat up by a little girl?" "No Miroku I got beat up by a girl with some muscle." "Oh sorry for the mistake." Inuyasha snickered,"There's something different about her. She has a secret that she's hiding. I don't what it is but I plan to find out." The other two just shot him a hopeless looks. The rest of the day went by in a flash and Inuyasha crashed on his bed.
Kagome was aleep in her bed. She began to turn slightly as she recalled the past day's events. Her mobile soon began to ring uncontrollably. Kagome moaned and then grogily went to pick up her cellphone. "Hello this is Kagome speaking." "Kagome this is Soran, your manager." "Oh yeah, Hi Soran. What do you want this morning""You know that new intern Hojo, well he accidentally got you a gig with No Tama records." "It's ok." Kagome was trying to hide her excitment. No Tama was the world's leading record producer. Only the best of the best got record deals with them. "Well you have to record at one thirty this afternoon." "Ok you know how you took my car so I need someone to pick me up at one from school. Make sure you have whoever picks me up has a normal car this time. Remember I'm supposed to be poor." "I know Kagome it was my idea after all. Well I'll talk to you later." "Goodbye." Both ends of the line went dead.
Kagome was so happy she sat their and realized her alarm clock wen toff. She had half an hour to get ready for school. Kagome took a nice relaxing shower. Then she got her clothing. She had on her school uniform. Kagome walked back into the bathroom and put in her contacts. For breakfast she had cocoa puffs. Then she stuffed her Mina mask into her backpack and headed for school. As she approached the school she saw Sango. She looked at Kagome and waved her over.
Sango was royaly bored. The boys had been fighting over who the ladies liked more. They tried to get her to answer but she stayed out of it. When she saw Kagome one thought came to her mind, time for girl talk! Miroku thought Oh no! More girl Talk! Inuyasha thought I wonder what she's hiding from us all. He threw his cocky grin at her. Sango knew what that smile meant. Inuyasha had spotted something he liked. In this instance he was eyeing Kagome. She was happy that he had finally picked someone she approved of. Not that she had any control of his love life anyway. "Hey Kagome. What's up?" "Nothing much Sango. I would love to stay and chat but I have to go to the office so i can get the assignments for the classes I'll be missing today." "So what classes will you be missing." Miroku inquired. "I'm going to miss history, science, and computers. I'll talk to you later." Kagome rushed off to get her assignments.
Kagome got all her assignments but she was late for chorus. No one knew she could sing. She never tried out for solos and usually just sang as quietly as she could in the background. She walked into class and handed the teacher her pass. "Hi Kagome. We're having the tryouts for homeward bound and since your up already you can go first." "Mrs. Kang i don't wanna try out for the solo. I can't sing. If anyone else wants to go they can." Kagome looked at her fellow classmates with pleading eyes. "Kagome everyone has to tryout so just try out." Kagome sighed in defeat. "Alright." She heard the opening notes to the song and then with her clear saprano voice she sang

In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red
When the summer's ceased its gleaming
When the corn is past its prime
When adventure's lost its meaning
I"ll be homeward bound in time
Bind me not
to the pasture
Chain me not
To the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow
The whole class looked at Kagome. None of them knew the young girl could sing like that. The rest of class went very well for her. Sango had a lovely alto voice. Miroku was a good deep bass. Inuyasha's voice was just perfect for a guy. Not too high but not too low. He sang the words with feeling as if this were him in htat situation. He made shivers go down her spine.
After class Kagome walked to reading. A girl named Ayame stopped her. "Hi Kagome you have a gorgeous voice." "Thanks Ayame so do you!"The two girls were chattering happily as they walked into the classroom. None of the inu gang was in this class with her. The teacher was a young man about the age of twenty-four. Today they began their poetry unit. "Good moring class. Today we will begin poetry. Poetry is a form of expressing your feelings but still keeping them hidden. Poetry is basically emotions written down on a paper in a creative way that makes the reader think. First off we will each read a piece of poetry and then we will write a piece to share wiht the class. We will be working with partners after we read some poetry pieces." Kagome loked at Ayame and she nodded yes to their silent agreement. They would be partners. As usual in a class some people read with a lot of expression, some people read it with slight emotion, and some poeple were just reading like androids.Kagome, Ayami, Kurama, and Tidus all read with emotiom beyond the teacher's expection. They all broke off into their pairs and wrote there poetry.
Kagome and Ayame decided to write their own poems and then if they got stuck to ask each other to help. The two wrote their poems silently for ten minutes. Kagome got done first so she took a little break and spaced off. After Ayame was finished they read their poems to each other. Ayame went first. Her poem was about her last boyfrined who left her. It went:
I can't believe I talked to you
But you just walked on by
I felt so bad
That I sat down to cry
You took my heart tore it into pices
I've known you for
Such a long time
But still you keep me guessing
I can't believe it's true
I can't believe it's you
When are ya gonna stop playing these games
Your not a little boy anymore
You need to be more clear
Instead of just showing me the door
Kagome looked at Ayame. This was a really good piece of writing in her eyes. She never knew she had these feeligs. She was so mad at her old boyfriend but she didn't even know him. "Ayame that was so good." "Thank you Kagome but know it's time to hear yours." "Ok" Kagome's poem was about how she felt about her two lives. It went:
I walk out on the stage
To hear the crowd shouting
My name
But it's not my name
It's the name made up
One of my two lives
The people love me then
But when I take of my mask
And step back into the world
My reality comes crashing down
The cheering crowds leave
And all I'm left with is
Myself
Ayame was also very impressed. Both of the girls' poems made the class cry. They were very touching. Mr. Himoan posted them on the wall as he did with all the other students who had done extremely well with thier poetry. It was a great honor to have your work posted there. Then class ended with both girls happy.
Next Kagome had to go to English. Sango and Miroku were in this class with her. The teacher had given them new seats so Sango and Kagome sat next to each other. Unfortunately Miroku sat right behind them. He shot paper balls at them all thorugh the first ten minutes of class till they both turned around and smacked him. Today they were lerning about adverbs. Adverbs are so boring. Boring beyond belief. Kagome and Sango just talked all the way through class. The teacher didn't even catch them once. It was so much fun. They talked all about the last Mina concert, which Sango had been at. Sango kept praising Mina and Kagome was so proud of herself. Suddenly Sango asked,"Do you like Inuyahsa?" "Yeah I do as a friend." "I meant more than a friend." "Oh like having a crush?" "Of course." "No I don't." she tried to make her voice sound as if she were talking normally but she was totally lying. Kagome really did have a crush on Inuyasha but like she'd tell anyone. Just then the bell rang and she hurried out of class.
Kagome walked into the lunch room and bought lunch. She sat at an empty table. Kagome secretly hoped no one would notice her. Just as she was beginning to think she gave the others a slip she noticed someone sit down next to her. It was Inuyasha. "Hi Inuyasha. What's up?" "Nothin new. You?" "Same stuff as usual." They both started to eat. "So who's taking you to the dentist. I mean you are too young to drive after all." Kagome was fifteen. "My dad's best friend is taking me. He was around so much I just started to call him my uncle." "Kool." Kagome turned back to her food when she saw Sango and Miroku. She waved them over. "Hey guys."Kagome why did you like run out of English. Sango must have said something that totally embarassd you." "No Miroku I was just really hungry." They all started to talk aobut what happened that day. Inuyasha noticed Kagome was quieter than yesterday. They had class together next period so he thought he'd walk with her to class and then ask her what was wrong.
