A/N : omg, I 4got this in the last chapter, but that's ok, because I know that no one even reads my stories. But who cares? I'm just going to write for the sake of writing.

.o0O0o. .o0O0o.Chapter 2.

School, and daily life. Interrupted .o0O0o. .o0O0o.

"The Latin name for grey wolf is 'lupricus aviolis' bla…bla…bla…" The science teacher went on and on, rambling for what seemed like forever. 'I don't care for science, and I don't need to worry about this test that's next week. I've got a math test later on today.' She moaned, as the science teacher just never seemed to shut up.

"RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!" Kagome nearly jumped up from her seat in joy, but of course, she wanted to act as naturally as she could, so she remained calm, and walked to her next class. As she practically jogged to her next class, she ran into Ayumi, Eri and Yuka

As she took her seat in class, Hojo came up to her and gave her a little blue box, wrapped with red ribbon. "Oh hey Kagome. Doesn't it suck that we have a test on the same day you recover from Tuberculosis? That isn't fair." Kagome shot him a clueless glance, but then quickly replaced with a heart warming smile.

"Oh demoya arigato Hojo-kun! But you really don't have to get me all of these nice things. I feel like you're family's going to go bankrupt because of me." She thanked him with a quick hug, which, needless to say, shocked Hojo quit a bit.

.o0O0o. .o0O0o. Sengoku Jidai .o0O0o. .o0O0o.

"Good, no one's looking." Inu Yasha muttered to himself as he glanced over his shoulder, making sure no one was following him. 'I will not let them know that I'm going to get Kagome. I will NOT!' He muttered to himself as he jumped into the bone eaters well.

.o0O0o. .o0O0o. Flashback .o0O0o. .o0O0o.

"Inu Yashaaaaaaaa! When's Kagome coming back?" The young kitsune complained, for what seemed to be the 200th time that day.

"For the last time Shippo, she's not coming back!" the arrogant hanyou yelled yet again at Shippo. Hearing this alwayse made the kitsune's eyes well up with tears, but Shippo would not let himself cry.

"Well then why don't you go and get her? After all, she IS YOUR woman you know." Shippo retorted, then quickly scurrying back, away from the oncoming claws.

"How many times do I hafta tell you, SHE…IS…NOT…MY…WOMAN!!" Inu Yasha barked, hitting Shippo on the head for almost every word he had yelled.

"Well I'm sorry Inu Yasha, but it certainly seems that way to me. So why don't you just go and get her, cuz she DOES have the shards you know. At least go back for those." 'Who knows, you just might be able to bring her back with you.' He thought, almost replying out loud, but knowing what his consequences would be had he spoken.

.o0O0o. .o0O0o. End Flashback .o0O0o. .o0O0o.

Inu Yasha groaned as he hit the ground with a thump, landing on the other side of the dry well. Hearing a muffled scream, Inu Yasha got up and shook out his Fire Rat Haori, and, long behold, there was Shippo, in a daze from being landed upon by Inu Yasha's heavy body.

"What the… Shippo?" Inu Yasha questioned, while trying to shake the child demon to consciousness. 'hhm. The little squirt stuck to me while I came through.' "WAIT A MINUTE! THE LITTLE GUY CAME WITH ME THROUGH!" He yelled at no one in particular, with this new knowledge just sinking in.

"Inu…Inu Yasha? Where are we?" Shippo asked groggily, just barely waking up. Now realizing that he had a roof over his head, he jumped up, scurried out of the well, and stared at the roof. Taking in a deep, deep breath, Shippo nearly fainted at all of the overwhelming sensations.

"Pretty powerful huh?" Inu Yasha not quite asked, but stated, as he sat down next to Shippo.

"Ya." After a long time, Shippo finally asked, "Inu Yasha, what does Kagome do when she's here in her time?"

"Feh. How would I know?" Inu Yasha retorted.

"Well I think you should know, after all she is your wom-" Shippo cut himself off. He knew that if Inu Yasha heard him say that Kagome was his woman once more, he might not live to see the next snow fall. Instead, he said something else "Well, don't you think you should know what happens when she's over here? What if she's with someone else, and she's not telling you?"

That made Inu Yasha think a little bit. "Well, she does come back for 'Skoo-luh' a lot. So she has to do something over there."

"Well, what's this 'Skoo-luh'? and what does she do when she's over there?"

"How would I know? All I know is that she has this "ma-thuh" and these tests. Whatever those are."

Knowing when Inu Yasha was stumped, Shippo decided to stop asking questions, and just sniff around, see what new things there were in this new world of his Mama's. "HEY! Why don't we go and see Kagome! I'm sure you can smell her from here, or at least in what direction she went in" Shippo squeeled, thinking smartly.

"Feh, I suppose we could." Inu Yasha said, kind of doubtfully, knowing how the people in Kagome's time would react to him and Shippo. 'Well, all I really have to do is cover my ears, and hide Shippo's tail, and we should be fine.' "Alright Shippo. You ready?"

"Uh-huh" Shippo said, as he jumped onto Inu Yasha's shoulder. And with that, they were off.

.o0O0o. .o0O0o. Kagome at School .o0O0o. .o0O0o.

"Ok think Kags, you studied all last night, and for a little bit all the other times, just remember all you can, and you should pass." Kagome muttered to herself, a little skeptic, picking up her pencil, and doing equations in her head.

"Hey Kagome, how do you think you're going to do on the test?" Eri questioned, jumping out from behind her. Kagome, trying to remember all she had studied and trying to keep her temper, but failing miserably, ended up cracking her pencil in two.

"You ok?" Yumi asked, a little concerned for her friend. "Because you know you can alwayse go back to the nurse, and I'm sure she'd let you go home."

"No I'm fine!" Kagome said in a voice as sweet as honey.

"Class, as soon as you receive your tests, you may begin." The math teacher droned out as he passed out the tests.

.o0O0o. .o0O0o. Outside the School .o0O0o. .o0O0o.

"Can you see her?" Inu Yasha demanded, as he flung Shippo into the classroom window. All you could hear was a splat, and a muffled no.

"She's not in that class either," Shippo said, dazed from being thrown into the fourth window, still unsuccessful of finding Kagome.

"Well…" Inu Yasha exclaimed, with determination in his eyes, "better start looking faster. We have those shards to find, and we can't spend the whole day over here you know." Inu Yasha told the little red-head, as he flung him into the next window.

.o0O0o. .o0O0o. Back with Kagome .o0O0o. .o0O0o.

'Ok, the square root of 5 is….' Kagome tried to concentrate. After the test as done, Kagome and Hojo talked a little.

"How do you think you did on the test Kagome?" Hojo asked as the scooted over to her slowly, and eventually placing his hand on hers.

"Oh fine, I suppose," Kagome replied with uncertainty in her voice. She leaned into Hojo's shoulder a little, catching Hojo off guard yet again.

'I don't know what I did, but I like it!' Hojo mused. And, as chance would have it, just the Shippo got thrown into the right window for once, and saw the two. Being thrown into a window dazed the kit for a moment, before he shape shifted into what seemed like a crow. But what Shippo saw, was more then enough proof of what he had discussed with Inu Yasha before. Kagome DID have another man in her time, and this would make Inu Yasha furious.

"KAGOME!" Shippo yelled in a muffled scream, but, with the window, it sounded more like a desperate scream for help. 'Oh Inu Yasha's gunna blow when he knows about this!' Shippo thought fearfully. 'But wait, if Kagome left for her time to leave us…' "Inu Yasha!" Shippo wailed. "Kagome's with another man! She left you for…some brown haired guy."

"She did WHAT?" Inu Yasha boomed. It was bad enough that Kagome had left for her own time for this 'Skoo-luh', but taking the shards was nearly unacceptable. And now THIS? That brown haired kid would probable take Kagome away for good! 'Keh, not that I care, she's just a shard detector, that's all' Inu Yasha reminded himself. He decided to play it safe and stayed up in the outside tree for the rest of the day, until Kagome was done this 'Skoo-luh' thing.

Being so bored of waiting, Shippo crawled into Inu Yasha's lap and fell asleep. 'What the?' Inu Yasha questioned himself. 'Why's the little tyke snuggling up to me? Ah well…I might as well get some rest as well.' Inu Yasha mused and then fell fast asleep.

.o0O0o. .o0O0o. With Kagome .o0O0o. .o0O0o.

"Class, I have calculated the marks, and I must say I am not impressed with the marks you have gotten. There are many of you who didn't pass, yet only one who got perfect. Kagome Higurashi." The teacher explained to the class.

"Me?" Kagome demanded, dumfounded. And with that, the bell rang, signaling that the day was done, and all classes were dismissed.

"What a day." Kagome muttered to herself. "At least I don't have Inu Yasha hovering over me, demanding for the-"

"Hey Kagome!" Inu Yasha hollered as he jumped out of the tree.

"Jewel Shards." Kagome finished her sentence.

" Just WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING? I come back to get you, and there you are getting all cozy with some brown haired kid, and you're HERE! In THIS time, worrying about some 'skoo-luh' and not collecting jewel shards!" Inu Yasha barked as Kagome quite calmly walked down the street, heading towards the shrine.

Once the trio had gotten there, Kagome had exploded! "Inu Yasha! Just who do you think you are! There's a reson I left you, you know! I told you I don't ever want to see you again, and I mean it! How many times do I have to tell you before it gets through that thick skull of yours?" and she slapped him.

"Well I'm SORRY! But if you hadn't forgotten to give us the jewel shards, we might not HAVE to come and get you!" Inu Yasha retorted. That hurt. That hurt Kagome deeply. So she did the first thing that came to mind. She ran. She ran as fast as she could. She threw the shards on the ground, and ran.

"What the hell? What is wrong with that girl?" Inu Yasha yelled at no one in particular. He also did the first thing that came to mind. He grabbed the shards and ran towards the well and jumped in, completely forgetting Shippo.

"Hey! Wait for me" Shippo exclaimed, running as fast as he could to keep up with Inu Yasha. 'I might not be able to go back to our time without him.' Shippo mentally reassured himself.

.o0O0o. .o0O0o. With Kagome .o0O0o. .o0O0o.

"That is it. He just came here for the shards? Not to apologize? I thought he loved me? No…He never loved me. Kagome, why do you put yourself through this?" Kagome asked herself as she cried to sleep yet again.

.o0O0o. .o0O0o. Kagome's Dream .o0O0o. .o0O0o.

"Inu Yasha!" Kagome cried out, delighted to see him again. But what she was not so happy and quite surprised to see was Kikyo, yet again. With the two of them making out. And again, Kagome staid quiet. Then, she ran. Ran as fast as she could. Ran until her legs screamed for rest. She ran until she collapsed. But before she could hit the ground, a pair of strong, warm arms caught her. She looked up, hoping that it was not who she thought it had been. "K-Kouga?" She stuttered. He looked into her chocolate eyes, sky-blue meeting milk chocolate. She held onto him, and cried her heart's consent.

Kouga muttered soft and soothing words to her, as he laid Kagome down onto to pile of straw that had been his resting area. Even as he had put her down, she continued to hold onto him, crying, not wanting to leave the warmth of him.

"Kagome…" Kouga's voice uttered softly, "Why do you keep doing this to yourself? Does you heart keep on telling you so that he is the one? How can you love him while he does not return your affection?" Kouga asked her, needing to know the answer.

"I…I…Don't know." Kagome managed to whisper.

.o0O0o. .o0O0o. End of Kagome's Dream .o0O0o. .o0O0o.

Kagome shot up straight in bed, tears staining her cheeks. Her eyes felt dry and her cheeks starchy. "It…It's true. I do love Inu Yasha. But, he doesn't love me" she sobbed. "You can't keep putting yourself through this. You cannot go back with him."

The snow was still falling, and turning everything beautiful. Kagome decided to go shopping for presents for the gang. 'Not that I'm going to see Inu Yasha, this is just for goodbyes' Kagome reassured herself. 'Its common courtesy'
