Recap:
"If that is the way you feel, then you can go stand out in the hallway with him."
When Kagome left the room, she stood plainly in the hallway while leaning against the wall for comfort. InuYasha was definitely sensing something wrong. He received a referral for his little 'outburst' and Kagome received a simple verbal warning.
InuYasha was no fool…he could tell this was some kind of a setup. The teacher was uncharacteristically rude. Someone obviously wanted him out of this school and fast.

"InuYasha?" Kagome asked her love in curiosity, still leaning onto the hallway's cold wall. He hadn't said anything since they had been sent out of the class room. He quickly looked over at her; he could see that she was worrying herself over him.
"Yeah?" he asked gently.
"What's on your mind?" she questioned in a distressed tone.
"It's nothing. I'm just thinking of…stuff. Hoping my picture wins ya know," he said slyly, trying to cover up his thoughts. She smiled up at him and gave a playful push.
"Don't worry me like that!" she beamed at him.
With his own smile, he closed the small gap that had been between them and put his arm around her shoulders. She rested her head on him, gazing adoringly into his eyes. He bent down to meet her lips but something had interrupted the tender moment.
It was the sound of feet rushing towards them.
"InuYasha!" the annoying voice of Hojo sounded.
InuYasha's brow twitched in complete furry. This bit was getting really old, really fast. He jumped to his feet, his fist ready to breeze through Hojo's rib cage.
Kagome was now standing as well. She felt repelled at violence but she was getting rather irritated with Hojo's constant tampering of her choice of relationships.
"What is it now Homo? Can't you see I'm a little busy?" InuYasha snarled out.
"You didn't look at all busy from my view down the hall. It looked like you were starting to make the moves on my Kagome," he said defiantly, completely ignorant to the fact that he had said 'my Kagome'.
Before InuYasha could say something otherwise, Kagome came out in a rage.
"Yours, huh!" Kagome scoffed while yelling out, unconsciously stepping closer to the startled wimp. "I'm your item, is that it Hojo!"
Hojo took several steps back, now fearing her wrath more than the half-breed's.
'Wow, I've never seen her like this before,' InuYasha thought in awe. 'I don't think I'll interrupt her though…this is weird but…aw, this whole day has been messed up anyway, why not enjoy a little sideshow?' He also took a few steps back for security measures.
"I—I…" Hojo sputtered out. She pushed him harshly in his chest, forcing him to take another fearful step backwards.
"You what?" Kagome prompted him ruthlessly. "You want to take advantage of me again, is that it?"
Hojo couldn't say anything; his voice had completely frozen up.
Out of the blue, which snapped InuYasha out of his little watcher's stance, Kagome asked;
"InuYasha, what's your grade point average?" she inquired quite bluntly.
"Um…three point seven? Somewhere around there maybe…" he trailed off, hoping his little answer would suffice and she wouldn't start on him.
"Great, then we can afford to miss a day of school. Let's go…these homosexuals give me the creeps," she said sweetly, giving him a loving smile and sneaking a horrible glare out at Hojo. She walked away with InuYasha's hand in hers, all the while a large satisfied grin was glued to her face.
"We haven't visited Kami for a while, so let's go there," Kagome informed her hanyou as she walked evenly with InuYasha out the double doors.
"Kami?" he asked confused.
"The tree where you first kissed me; that's what I named it," she explained, smiling widely at the fond memory.
InuYasha blushed at the mention of his first kiss. It made him feel unknowingly warm, as if temperate waves had washed over him in a gentle manner. It made him nervous to be holding Kagome's hand so tenderly like this though he wasn't sure why.
It was like a wonderful dream that dwelled in reality. When she walked closer to him, their hips met as the twosome walked across the school yard to their special Kami tree.
Their crude homeroom teacher could see clearly out the window as the two came closer to the tree. He grinned malignantly down at Kagome and InuYasha from his safe, spying view through the glass.
The two lovers sat in comfort under the tree. Kagome sat between InuYasha's folded legs and he held the frame of her shoulders lovingly. While he stroked her arms ever so gently, she snuggled up to his torso, feeling the wave of affections that washed through her happy soul.
"I love you," she whispered out, closing her eyes in bliss.
"Not more than I love you," he assured, placing his lips on the warm skin of her wonderful neck. She tilted her head to the side giving him more access to her. He moved his hands up and down her torso; all the while his kisses became more intense.
Kagome moaned at the pleasurable feeling of his smooth lips on her tingling flesh.
InuYasha's ears perked up distractedly as the sound of shuffling feet through the grass came closer. He looked up from what he was doing to see their homeroom teacher walking towards them. The hanyou tapped Kagome's shoulder, forcing her away from her dazed high.
"InuYasha, why'd you stop?" she asked in a sad tone. He pointed across the field at the closing-in teacher. She blushed embarrassedly to herself, knowing how rude she had been to her respected educator.
She stood up, brushing off the strands of grass that had clung to her. InuYasha followed suit.
"Mr. Takashi, two referrals in one day…what a surprise," the teacher smiled out hatefully. This made InuYasha call out in surprise and anger.
"What! You're giving me another referral? Why?" he exclaimed.
"For being insolent and ditching class," he commented lightly. "And you deserve them both!"
"That's not true!" he hollered. "You're up to something and I'm—"
"Be quiet! You're suspended from these school grounds until otherwise notified," the corrupt professor told in all seriousness. InuYasha gasped at the unexpected expulsion.
Sure, InuYasha had done some pretty bad stuff this year but he had never done anything to deserve this kind of unfairness or to even be expelled.
"You can't suspend me for speaking up in class!" he argued back.
"Ohhh, I can and I am!" he stated with malicious glee, enjoying this little challenge. "I've grown rather tired of your outbursts. Oh, and Miss Higurashi? As much as I hate to inform you, there's a message in the office concerning your lost relatives. I recommend leaving Mr. Takashi with me while you go to the office and hear it," Mr. Sencai said in a mischievous tone.
Kagome noticed the slight gleam in her teacher's eyes. She grabbed hold of InuYasha's hand and dragged him across the field with her.
"I said to leave Mr. Takashi with me!" the teacher yelled after them, shocked by her obvious rebelliousness and insolence.
"Bite me!" Kagome bellowed, giving him the finger. "Or better yet, you can just expel me too," she dared and turned her back to him.
InuYasha was oddly satisfied with her. He knew he shouldn't be enforcing this kind of behavior from such a sweet girl as she but it was kinda cool watching Kagome defend herself like this so boldly…a little awkward, maybe, but still cool!
As they reached the office doors InuYasha gently got her against the wall.
"Kagome, what were you thinking? You actually might get expelled for that! You like school and getting good grades and other crap like that! Why would you risk it?"
InuYasha's moral side had won her over and she decided to tell him.
"I only like coming to school if it's with you," she explained as she wiggled in his grasp. "It just gives me the creeps knowing that I would have to come to school each day and not be able to see you."
InuYasha loosened his grasp on the girl.
"Kagome, I—I just want you to have a future. You know, incase I can't give you one," he said haphazardly, looking away from her. Although InuYasha couldn't see it with his head now turned, a frown was pressed on her lips.
"InuYasha, this is the first time I've ever done something like this. It won't affect me or the things I wanna do. You're just overreacting and I'm more worried about what's going on with your future than mine. People have been a little peeved with you today and it doesn't make any sense."
"You noticed that too…?" he asked uncertainly, moving his stare over to her. He was glad that he wasn't being paranoid. After all, being attacked by that Naraku guy, Hojo's interferences and then the teacher's unnaturally cruel behaviors towards him seemed to be more than just a coincidence.
"Yeah," she answered. "That's why I was acting up, I guess. They can't blame you for the things I did. But it isn't fair that he expelled you while I only got a warning…it's too odd."
"Why don't we get that message of yours from the office and then we'll head off to lunch? There's a nice café on the main street I know of," InuYasha said with a smile. Kagome nodded her head and smiled back.
"Officer Shin wanted us to notify you that they found your missing Uncles…I'm sorry to let you know that they were found dead. I'm also sorry to say that your mother is still missing and the chances of the search groups finding her alive are not so great," the secretary explained direly to Kagome.
Kagome watched intently, though completely unfazed by this dreadful news. Somewhere inside herself she already knew full well that her mother was gone and wasn't coming back. It was a fearful intuition on her part but she just knew it was true.
"Thank you for telling me the message," Kagome said solemnly. InuYasha had been by her side through the whole message, his hand holding onto her white shoulders in comfort.
"Would you please take her home Mr. Takashi?" the secretary asked, more as an order than a request…that poor secretary just felt so awful about telling that poor girl about such terrible news.
"I will," InuYasha said as he walked out of the door.
As planned the two walked to the restaurant, the silence grazed over them as they strolled there. They were about halfway to their eating destination when Kagome broke the deafening silence.
"I think I'm going to call of the search party for my mom," she said in all sincerity.
"You want to stop it?" InuYasha asked in confusion.
"Yeah, I can't explain it but I just know that my mom isn't coming back…even if they could find her, she'd be dead," she explained seriously.
"You're sure about that? They won't start up another search if you stop this one," InuYasha warned.
"I'm sure. I can't continuously worry each night with the false hopes that she'll come back and everything will be alright again…I have to stop being so naïve about it. I just want the feeling of emptiness to stop," she explained somberly, holding onto him tensely.
InuYasha pulled her closer, not wanting to make her cry.
"We can tell officer Shin after lunch, alright?" he cooed softly, giving her a gentle kiss.
"Okay," she said softly.
