Chapter 8
Kagome in Her Time
"So Kagome, are you finally done catching up on your studies?" Asked Eri. One of Kagome's three main friends that she hangs out with in her time. Eri has short bangs showing in the front, shoulder length hair, and was about as tall as Kagome. Eri also almost always wore a hair band. Like all of the other girls in the school, she too wore the usual school uniform. It has been three weeks since Kagome has left the Fuedal Era, and now Kagome is at a lunch table eating lunch, while waiting for all of her friends to arrive. Now, to her, traveling back in time in search of the Shinkon No Tama almost seems like a dream now, that she can never forget, and she's still not quite sure she wants to forget. So now, for Kagome, everything is back to it's usual boring normal ways. "Well, almost. I still have two more math tests and an English test to make up. Oh, and a few assignments, but I think that I'll be able to get those done tonight." "That's great! As sick as you were and as often as you were gone, we almost thought that you would never come back to school this year." Said another one of Kagome's friends who was just joining them at their lunch table. The girl that just arrive was name Yuka. Yuka has very short, dark hair, and has bangs that poof out in the front. "I almost thought so myself, but I don't think that I'll be sick for a while, so I should be able to keep up with my school work." Kagome said laughing, though the laughter never reached her eyes. That's how Kagome was since she got back. She seemed almost completely like her old self, laughing joking, studying, just doing what she did before. The one thing that changed though, that only her Mom, Souta, and Grandpa, have noticed though, is that when she laughs or when she smiles, it never reaches her eyes. Her eyes are almost dull, hardly any life in them now. When her mother tried to talk to her about this, Kagome just smiled one of those lifeless smiles, and says 'no really mom, I think your imagining things. I'm fine, there is nothing wrong with me. I've just been tired lately, that's all.' "When do you think Arimi will get here?" asked Yuka. "I dunno. She's probably late again this week. You now how busy she's been." Said Eri.
I Wonder how Inuyasha and the others are doing.What are they doing right this moment.
Eri look over at Kagome. "Yo, hey! Kagome! You home?" She asked throwing a french fry at Kagome. Kagome snapped to attention. "Whats up with you? You've been day dreaming waaaay more than whats healthy, I would think." "Oh.uh..nothing."Kagome said blushing. "What are you always thinking about anyways?" asked Yuka. "I.oh.um.ah.you see." Kagome mumbled and sighed inwardly as she was saved by a cheerful girl bounding along to sit with them at the lunch table. "Hey guys! Sorry I'm late again. I'm glad you three saved me a seat, it seems especially crowded at lunch hour here today." Came the cheerful voice of Arimi. Arimi, yet another one of Kagome's friends, sat down next to Yuka, which was kity-corner from Kagome. Arimi, is a sweet girl with curly shoulder length hair that is put up with only two small hair clips on either side of her head. Arimi is the tallest in the group, by only three inches. "Well, it's about time. That's what, the third time this week?" Yuka said, smiling. "Uh, ya. Sorry. I've been extremely busy this week." Arimi blushed and began eating. "So, Kagome, have you heard anything from that mystery man of yours? You haven't mentioned him even once this week? What's up?" Arimi asked slyly with a twinkle in her eye. Kagome's three friends looked up at Kagome, absorbed completely in what Kagome would say. She hardly told them anything about 'her mystery man (a.k.a. Inuyasha)' and hadn't mentioned a single thing to them about the Fuedal Era and all of her adventures, convinced that her friends would never believer her. Without intending to, Kagome allowed her smile to fade completely and her eyes began to sting.a sign of oncoming tears. "Oh Kagome! What's wrong?" Her friends asked concerned, startled at her sudden unhappiness. Eri, the one sitting next to Kagome, put her arm around Kagome's shoulder. Kagome shook her head and wiped the few tears that she had let escape. "I-I-I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cry. It's just that.oh nothing. It's just nothing." Kagome gave her friends a weak smile. They weren't even close to being satisfied with her pitiful answer that she had just given. They all glanced at one another before staring at Kagome. Yuka crossed her arms. "Kagome, there's something that's really bothering you, and we want to know, so spill." The other two nodded in agreement. Kagome suddenly became infatuated with her lunch as she twirled, shoved, and all but ate her lunch. "Kagome." said Arimi. She pushed Kagome's lunch tray aside. Kagome looked up at her friends.
What am I going to tell them? I can't just ramble on about what really happened, not that I don't trust them.but it's like a sweet secret that I want kept that way.all for myself.and besides.they would think that I was becoming down with something and being delusional.maybe.I could at least tell them.part of the truth????
"I.we.he.that is.I mean.uh." Kagome stopped and took a deep breath, her gaze never leaving her fidgeting hands. "What I really mean is he got a girlfriend and then we got into this really big fight and so now we aren't talking to each other, but not because he has a girlfriend but because of something else entirely, as a matter of fact, its really quite stupid, but even so we aren't even talking to one another." Kagome blurted. She said this so fast, her friends had barely understood her. "Oh Kagome!" "You poor thing!" "That's terrible!" Kagome's friends said all of this in unison and looked at their friend who looked like she was struggling with the urge not to cry. She let out a long and sorrowful sigh. Her friends looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do. Things like this hardly ever happened, it was usually Kagome comforting them, not the other way around. "Well, look on the bright side, at least, maybe now, if you're up for it, you and Hojo can get together. You do know, that ever since you began getting sick, he's been especially worried." Arimi elbowed Eri at her attempt at 'cheering' Kagome up. Kagome looked up at her friends, in shock, and frustrated annoyance. Then she sighed and her shoulders slumped.
Why not?.Because you love INUYASHA!.Not Hojo.But he loves Kikyo, not me!.yes he does.No he doesn't, all I am is a shard detector and a miserable burden on him, he even said so.no, it was you who said it, he just didn't answer.it's just the same.no, you put him in a tight spot, you know he doesn't like to show his better side around everyone.he could have at least have said something!.Besides, if he wanted me back, why did he take the shards out of my bag, he knows I can't get through the well with out them.because he wants you to be safe and happy.Even if that were true.He's hundreds of years in the past, I should move on, It's not like I'll see him again.You shouldn't lie to yourself. You shouldn't lie to your own heart.Time can only delay true love.not sever it.He loves you.No, it's Kikyo he loves.
"Yah, I guess your right, maybe.just maybe I should?" Kagome said, surprised at her own words, but wouldn't take them back. Her friends squeeled in delight. She was so confused about her feelings, and it scared her. She was so used to knowing what she truly felt, but now.
I don't know left from right anymore.I'm so lost.you should listen to your heart.
Kagome quickly erased all thoughts that were trying to form after that sentence. Kagome managed a weak smile on her face, as she got up to take her tray away. Her friends only glanced her way before they began giggling and talking again at the idea of her and Hojo together. "I guess.there's no turning back." Kagome said sadly, and went to go study for her next test.
Authors Ending Note: Okee-doekee. Theres another chapter. So, will Kagome actually go on a date with Hojo? Am I really that cruel? (those of you who have been reading m,y authors notes and taking a look at my pairings, would know) and what about the Inu gang? Three whole weeks without Kagome? How are they fairing without their beloved Miko, and Shippo with out the closest thing he has to a mother? Well, I can't garauntee that all of these question will be answered in my next chapter, but a whole lot of them will! So, until next week!
