Chapter Five

School Sucks

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, unfortunately.

A.N. I'm glad so many people like this story! I havesixty-one reviews! Well, I did last time I checked anyway. Personally, I think this is my best fan fiction, but that's just my opinion. Enjoy!

Kagome walked down stairs. Her mom was cooking breakfast already and Souta was at the table waiting. Mrs. Higurashi looked at her daughter in surprise but quickly turned back to the stove. Kagome ignored her mom and sat next to Souta (A.N. Souta does NOT know about Kagome and Kouga. He is NINE and does not need to know about rape until… He'll learn about it when Kagome— oops! Almost let it slip. He'll find out soon enough).

Kagome sighed. She should've known that this is what her family's reaction would be. Her mom put a plate of egg omelet in front of Kagome and another one in front of Souta. Kagome ate eagerly because she hadn't eaten much the past few days. She ended up having another omelet before she went to school.

Before she went through the door, however, her mother stopped her. "Kagome," she said gently. "You don't have to go. Are you sure that you want to?"

Kagome nodded.

Her mother sighed. "Your not going to talk to me, are you?"

Kagome shook her head.

"Do you want me to tell the school that you've gone mute?"

Kagome thought for a moment. It would be easier. That way none of her friends would ask her what's wrong. She half nodded and half shrugged.

"I'll take that as a 'yes'."

Kagome nodded and left for school. Today was not going to be an easy day.

A.N. I'm sorry! I have the worst writer's block ever! Please, I'll make it up to you guys, I promise! Please review. I'll be so happy if you do. Please, please, please review! Do you guys think I'm turning into Lil-Kudo? I mean her chapters are short too. Aaaah! Maybe it's her fault that I have short chapters! She is older and my cous so it would make sense right?
