I was told that my other chapters were all really cheesy. So, after looking through them, I agreed. They were pretty OOC. So, I'll lay off on the cheesy lines, and try to add more humor and stuff. Thanks to:

You guys gave me good feedback! I'd appreciate it if everyone else could give some reviews too! I'm also taking ideas, so if you got one, tell me! Thanks!
Kagome woke up to the bright sunlight hitting her face. She groaned, trying to sit up, only to fall back down from a pounding headache. She tightened her eyes shut.
"Kagome. I'm so glad you're okay. I...I was so worried about you."
Kagome barely opened her eyes. When she did, she noticed Sango leaning over her, smiling.
"We all were worried. Especially Inuyasha. He's outside sulking right now, as usual." Sango tried to get Kagome cheery again. It worked. Kagome smiled.
"Are you thirsty?" Kagome nodded her head; her mouth was terribly dry. Sango got up and walked to the other side of Kaede's hut. She grabbed a pail of water and a wooden cup. She scooped the cup into the pail of water, and brought it over to Kagome.
"Here you go. Can you sti up?" Kagome tried to sit up, slower this time. She was able to do it without falling back, but her head just kept pounding.
"S-Sango. Can you d-do me a favor?"
"Oh, of course!" Sango said.
"I-In my backpack. A bottle. Wh-white. Asprin. Please." Sango thought this over in her head, trying to think if this was a modern product, or a product that could be found in Feudal Japan. Since she'd never heard of it, she supposed that it was one of Kagome's wierd modern things. She walked to the bag and searched through it, until she came across a tiny white bottle.
"This?" She held it up. Kagome nodded. Sango brought it over.
"How do you open this thing?" Sango's face turned frustrated as she tried to pop open the cap.
"M-match up the a-arrows. Then pull." Kagome smiled again. Her friends always had so much trouble and confusion over something that seemed so simple to her. Sango blushed, feeling stupid, when she easily popped open the top. Kagome held out two fingers, and Sango took out two pills, handed them to the girl, and watched her swallow them with the water.
"What are they?"
"Medicine. Helps headaches." Sango just continued to stare. Kagome stood up, holding her head.
"Kagome, you should get some rest." Sango tried to get her to lay back down.
"Sango. How many days has it been since we-"
"You."
"Um. Okay. Since...I...defeated Matatsu?"
"Well, it's been about...uh...um..."
"Sango?"
Sango sighed.
"Three days."
"THREE DAYS! I'VE BEEN OUT THAT LONG! JEEZE, WAS I DEAD?" Kagome's eyes grew large as she was surprised by the long amount of days she was out.
"But it's okay! Cause, Kagome, you know that when you step out of this hut, everyone will question you." Sango's eyes went downcast.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, we all saw what happened at Matatsu's lair, Kagome. It...it was different. Everyone just wants to know...why...that happened." Kagome sighed.
"To tell the truth, I don't either."
"Maybe you should talk to Kaede? Would you like me to go get her?" Kagome thought about this for a moment.
"Yes, please."
"Alright." Sango left the hut, and Kagome sighed once more.
Was it like, an overload? Maybe a panic attack? Or...or was it anger?
"Aye, child, ye are awake." Kaede walked in the room and sat herself across from Kagome. Sango started to walk out.
"Sango, you can stay if you'd like. In fact, it would be great. You can help me explain to Inuyasha when he asks later." Sango turned around.
"Okay." She sat next to Kagome.
"So, child, tell me. What is it that ye was feeling when this...explosion of power surged throughout you?"
"I...I...anger. Frustration. Hoplessness. Desire."
"Desire? Desire for what?" Sango questioned.
"Desire for Matatsu to die. Oh, that sounds so horrible. What have I become?" Kagome put her head in her hands.
"Now, now, child. Ye must have been very angry and frustrated for wanting such a thing as that. It is common for many people to feel that way. Ye are not the only one." That helped a bit.
"Now, what happened?"
"Well, Matatsu had pinned them to the wall, and left me to fight him. I don't know how to fight, so I used my arrows, which didn't stop him. He kept hitting over and over, until he said I didn't have a weakness, that I would keep trying until I died. Then...then he went to Inuyasha. He started hurting him, to get to me. I guess that's what pushed me over the top." Kagome looked down throughout her speech.
"I see." Kaede appeared to be thinking, as did Sango.
"It appears to me that you were willing to die for the sake of your friends, but when Matatsu targeted Inuyasha, you reacted with great powers."
"Kaede. What was it?"
"It was your priestess powers, child. Kikyo had them, too. Though it may only show it through the enchanted arrows, ye actually have the power flowing through your body. Ye can unleash them it at any time; I guess ye just didn't know how."
"And I still don't. I have to get really mad?" Kagome was confused. This was just too out of control for her. It even scared her a bit to know that something so powerful came from her.
"Ye just have to know the right timeing."
"But I couldn't control it. How did I stop?"
"That, my child, is something that I do not know. Ye have to find that out for ye-self." (A/N. Lots of 'Ye's. Lol!)
"Thank you Kaede." Kagome stood up.
"Kagome."
"Yes?"
"I advise that ye not bring up the topic so soon with Inuyasha. He's not been himself lately." Kagome nodded, and walked outside.
Kagome sat on her knees near the lake. (A/N. I don't think there is a lake near Kaede's hut, but in this story, there is. Lol.) She bent over and looked at her reflection. She sighed. She had cuts and scrapes on her face, and all over her arms.
"Matatsu really did some damage." She cupped a handful of water and splashed it on her face.
"Ouch." She took her sleeve and wiped off some water.
Hey! I'm in spare clothes from Kaede! What happened to my school uniform?
Kagome thought about it.
Hey, now that I remember...I didn't change. So how did I end up in that white gown?
Kagome scrunched up her face.
HE CHANGED ME! THAT PERVERT!
"Great, now I have to go home. Let's see. 'Hey, Inuyasha. Um, I got to go home for a while'-"
"Why?" Kagome screeched. She quickly stood up and turned around to see Inuyasha standing before her.
"Inuyasha! How long have you been standing there!"
"Since you started talking to me when you thought I wasn't here. Why are you going home?"
"Well, you see...I need some clothes, and I haven't seen my family in a while, not to mention I haven't been to school in a really long time. I'm sure I have tests to make up, and homework pileing up, and-"
"No."
"BUT INUYASHA I-"
"I said no, wench! You have clothes, you just saw your family, and this 'skool' thing is pointless!"
"It is not pointless! I need it for a good paying job! It's called making a living!"
"Well...well...I said no!"
"Inuyasha, you're being so unfair! SIT!" Kagome, once again, was mad. Inuyasha was eating dirt. Miroku and Sango were watching from far away laughing. Shippo and Kilala were eating. And Kaede...well, no one really knows what she does during these times, so she was just...picking herbs. Kagome stormed off to the well, passing Miroku and Sango on the way.
"I'm going home. I'll be back in about four of five days." Kagome didn't even stop. She just kept walking. From behind her, she could hear Inuyasha's colorful vocabluary flying through the air. She lept over the lip of the well, and transported 500 years into the future.
