Bright shining sun, Crisp blue endless sky, Sweet breeze blowing in the trees. You could see these things from where you sat in the class room, and it made you mentally groan to feel the sweat roll down your brow. Knowing that you had another half hour before you got to experience the relief of being outside you sulked, turning your head and resting it on your arm. Your last class of the day and yet you still were praying to be outside just as much as you were in the morning. How you would love to be in bed right now. You had stayed up all night studying for the Math test you had taken in the morning and now were willing to fall asleep right here, and right now.
You closed your eyes and imagined how nice it would be on his back running faster than anyone else, his long silver hair in great contrast to your dark black, both flowing gracefully in the breeze. You smiled at that thought but knew that it was only a hopeful dream; you already knew once he caught sight of you, there would most likely be a huge quarrel over why you didn't arrive in the feudal era earlier. At least Sango and Miroku would be pleased to see you. And Shippo! He would be overjoyed you were back. But, you always had a shimmer of hope that Inuyasha would be happy to see you as well as the others.
Ding ding ding
"Finally," you muttered as you grabbed your books, stuffed them in your bag and started for the door.
"Miss. Higurashi, can I speak with you a moment?" The math teacher asked stopping you five steps form being out the door.
" Yes. Sure," you walked over to her desk as your friends walked out the door, looking back at you questioningly. You shooed them with a quick wave of her hand, signaling you'd be there in one minute.
" Kagome, you're not doing so well. I'm worried you might fail. You've missed so many classes. I know you're a bright girl but if you keep getting sick the way you have been, well, I'm afraid you won't pass. I've taken into my hands to find you a tutor." She smiled at you, as if that would soften the harshness of what she just said.
" A Tutor! But Miss! I don't need a tutor…. I know I have missed a lot of classes, but I'm trying my best to keep up. Please miss." Looking at the clock you started to get antsy. "I have to go, now."
"That's right, you do have to go see your tutor now. He should be in the other room waiting for you."
"But…." You protested, but she cut you off.
"GO! NOW! You had better get your grades up Kagome I really don't want to fail you!"
You walk out the room head hanging low. "But I need to get home!" You thought to yourself. "Oh well Inuyasha will just have to wait another day or so."
"Who's Inuyasha!" Your friends asked in union.
"Crap, that wasn't supposed to be so loud," you mentally kicked yourself for not being more silent around them. The less they knew the easier it was for you.
"OOOOh, is that the guy that you were smiling about in class! Are you two going out?" Yui asked.
"Yes, NO!WHAT!" Your eyes wide in horror at the thought if it, Inuyasha and boyfriend used in the same sentence was not something that would ever come out of your mouth. "Guys I have to go. She signed me up for tutoring." You tried hard to get them off your back. Normally once they caught a hint of gossip they wouldn't lay off until they got the whole story. You really wished you could just walk home like any other day, and you probably would have if your teacher hadn't been watching you to see that you walked into the other class.
"Fine!" they smiled. You were beyond shocked that they would let it go that quickly! "But I think you'll like who your tutor is. It's HIM. He's going to ask you to the movies and have some new medical improvement for you most likely." They all smiled mischievously.
"Oh no, not Hojo!" you thought you yourself. Why couldn't Inuyasha just let you have a little more time to do homework when you go to his era?
"Good luck Kagome!" they all winked and gave you the thumbs up. You knew that they were just waiting for you to go on a date with him. You would but there was just never any time. You stood outside the room and took a deep breath. This was going to be harder than fighting a battle. That was probably because if you ever got in trouble fighting Inuyasha would always be there to save you!
