Meka - Ok, so I said I owe you an explination. Sorry about the first chapter, I actually thought I'd have this one up sooner. This does take place in modern Japan. There is a difference, the high shool would seem to be a normal American senior high, not Japanese. Yeah, I know, confusing.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters.

Kikyou walked into the school slowly. Seemingly nothing had changed, there was nothing wrong with her. The doctors had told her to take Advil every couple of hours and in about a week she would have to see them again and they would presumably give her a perscription pain killer.
"KIKYOU!" Yelled a male voice from across the hall.
"Hey Inuyasha." Kikyou halfheartedly muttered as the inu hanyou bounded up to her demanding a hug which she gave him. "Have you seen Kagome yet?" She asked without looking at him.
"No, but I talked to her over the weekend...Her and Sesshomaru broke up and she's not taking it too well." Inuyasha replied his voice dropping like he didn't want anyone to hear. Right at that moment a suprisingly quiet Kagome pressed a hand against Kikyou's back and glanced at her for a moment before sitting down, her back against the wall.
"Hey." Kikyou said looking at Kagome.
"Hi." Came the short, quiet response.
"Whats wrong?" Kikyou asked obviously concerned.
"Nothing." Kagome responded in the same way she had earlier. Kikyou knew she was just trying to get out of answering the question, but didn't push it. The five minute bell rang, warning most to get to class. Kikyou glanced at the clock, as did Kagome.
"Lets go climb the mountain." Inuyasha said with sarcastic joy to Kikyou. Kagome still hadn't said a word. Kikyou frowned then ruffled Kagome's hair.
"See you after class.." She trailed off as Kagome looked up at her, with the face of a child, so vulnerable, lonely, and lost.
"See you." Kagome muttered. Kikyou allowed herself to be dragged off by Inuyasha, every now and then looking back at Kagome who was still staring at the floor. Kikyou and Inuyasha had just reached the third floor when the second warning bell rang, leaving two minutes to get to your class before being late.
Kagome glared at the clock when the second warning bell sounded and got up, silently walking down the halway to her classroom.
Kikyou didn't pay attention to most of class. Inuyasha sat right behind her, and Sesshomaru, who seemed to be missing today, usually sat to her right. In any case, Inuyasha kept poking her in the back to remind her to take notes. The class seemed to drag by, and everyone was glad when it was finally over.
Kikyou and Inuyasha made thier way down to the locker bay where most of their lockers were. Sesshomaru was the exception, he was a senior, Kagome, Inuyasha, Kikyou, and Naraku were all juniors.
Kagome smiled weakly at someting one of her friend's had said. The lockerbay had just come into view for Kikyou and Inuyasha.
"At least she's talking." Kikyou muttered under her breath, although Inuyasha heard her and grined slightly. Kikyou imediately hugged Kagome. "Hey, whats wrong?"
Kagome was silent for a moment. "Please don't let go." She muttered finally, burrying her head in Kikyou's shoulder. Kikyou nusled her neck in response.
"I'll hold you as long as you want."
"Forever..."
"I'll never let go."
"That really is cute, but we still have to go to class." Inuyasha said appearing beside the two of them. Kagome made to hit Inuyasha, but he quickly moved out of the way.
"I hate to admit it, but he's right." Kikyou said slipping an arm around Kagome's waist as the three of them trudged back up the stairs to the thrid floor. When they were right outside of the classroom, Kikyou leaned over and wispered something in Kagome's air as they had to let go of each other to get to their seats. Kagome smiled to herself as she took her seat and class started.
