You hear some music quietly playing in the distance and open your eyes. The alarm clock on the bed side table isn't on, and it looks unfamiliar. You're not in your pyjamas and you realize that you fell asleep in the wrong room. You get up and go to your room. The clock says 6:30. Augh, crap! I forgot to reset this damn thing!

You turn it off and sit down, barely awake. "Oh well." You say to yourself, "I guess I might as well make the best of it now that I'm awake." You stand up and look around your room. Clothing is all over the place, it's pretty bad. You start to pick things up and toss them in a basket. You take out the garbage and tidy the stuff on your dresser.

You make your bed, which you haven't done in days and put away your clean clothing, which had been sitting on the couch in the living room until now. Your room is lookin' pretty good now. Upon finishing this you change into a school uniform that is wrinkled like the one you slept in, and pack up the stuff you'll need for the day.

In the bathroom you wash your face and brush your teeth, and hair. You don't bother to put on makeup this morning; the only person you want to impress won't be there, after all. It's finally time to go so you grab your bag and head out the door.

Wakako is waiting for you on her corner. "Hey, Tabitha! How was your weekend? I barely saw you yesterday!" You run up to her (at a slow run, so it looks human) and say, "I had a pretty good weekend, how was yours?" She giggles, "Well I saw Seyuki and some other hot guys at the mall. I even went up and said hi and guess what? Seyuki remembered my name and even asked me how I was doing! Isn't that great?"

You laugh loudly and answer, "Yes Wakako, that's wonderful!" She then continues, "Celina was with me, but she was SOOO shy. She barely mumbled hi and her face was so red the whole time!" You smile and say, "Ya, but of course she was, she's always been like that. " Wakako agrees, "Ya, you're right, but Seyuki was just as nice to her. He's so sweet!"

You stop enjoying it to much, cause you realize it's encouraging her, so you say, "I know it's great that you got to chat with Seyuki, but aren't you blowing it out of proportion?" As you finish your sentence arms fling around you from behind. "Ah!" you yell and then you hear Seyukis familiar voice, gleefully say, "I heard the words great and my name in the same sentence! You must have been talking about my looks? Or maybe it was my personality! Or perhaps my over coming modesty!"

You laugh and push his arms up over your head, saying, "Oh, the irony, it's just to obvious! Nice way to scare me first thing in the morning, Seyuki!" he laughs and walks up in between you and Wakako, saying, "Good morning Wakako, how are you?" She blushes and giggles, answering happily, "I'm great, Seyuki." You look up and him and say, "You're in a really good mood today!"

He smiles broadly and answers, "Ya, I guess I am. It might be because I won at poker a lot last night, and now I'm in the money! But I guess that's only cause you weren't there. Sorry we didn't call you, but we figured that you wouldn't want to do stuff on a school night."

You laugh, "You know me to well Seyuki!" Wakako asks, "You play poker Seyuki? I didn't know that?" He nods, "Ya, I play with the guys and Tabitha a lot." She looks across in front of him at you, and says, "Oh. Really?" You don't get what she's trying to do and say, "Yeah, really." She then gives you a weirder look and says, "Is it fun?" You nod and give Seyuki a "I think she's nuts" look.

You arrive at the school and Wakako says, "Tabitha! why didn't you invite me to play poker with you guys some time!" You laugh, "Oh, that's what that weird look was about! Now I get it! Well first of all I didn't know you wanted to play. Secondly I didn't know you knew how, and thirdly you'd be staring at Seyuki all night."

She sighs, "Well I actually don't know how to play, but I'm sure I could learn really fast! I could go online and practise!" You roll your eyes as you stuff your bag into your locker, "You are nuts Wakako! What would Celina do on Friday night if you just ditched her?" She gasps and says, "You thought I'd leave her at home! No way am I gonna go to Seyukis house without her there for back up! Plus she likes him to so it'd be really mean to do that."

You grab your grade 12 physics book and slam the door shut. "Well I dunno. Any ways I gotta get to class. Tell Celina I said hi when you see her." She nods and says, "Ya I guess she slept in again, see ya!"

You sit down next to Seyuki and say, "I hear you ran into Celina and Wakako on the weekend." He rolls his eyes, "Yeah, at the mall. We were out getting some snacks and they spotted us. I tried to be really polite, cause I know they're your friends." You smile and say, "Thanks I appreciate that. Well Wakako was going crazy about it this morning. I swear she thinks she's gonna grow up and marry you."

He laughs at this then points to a question in his text book, "Um, I don't get this, can you help me?" You lean over and read the question, commenting, "You just don't get physics that much do you?" He shakes his head and answers, "No, and you've seen my report cards before you started helping me, they sucked. At least I'm passing now!"

You nod and concentrate on the problem at hand. You're just good at school, so w/e. You explain it to him and draw out the different vectors and forces. He nods and says, "uh huh." most of the time, jotting down notes. The teacher doesn't say anything, he knows that you help Seyuki all the time, it's been that way since grade 9 science.

Next you have Grade twelve ELA. You're reading hamlet in class, and it's really annoying. The play isn't annoying, you love it, and you happen to be able to understand every bit of it. What gets on your nerves is the fact that every five lines some stupid kid asks what it means and the teacher spends ten minutes explaining it.

In the after noon you have grade 12 math first. Mark sits on one side of you and Seyuki the other. You all chat in the back of the class room, but soon the teacher gets annoyed with the 3 of you and sends you to the principals office. You're let in and the principal says, "Your teacher says this is the third time you have persisted in talking in his class. This has got to stop! You need to listen to your teacher if you want to get good marks"

You shrug and say, "We're honour roll students sir, I don't see how this is impairing our grades." He smiles, "Are you really? Well lets just see?" he gets the secretary to bring him your report cards. All of your math marks are above 90, even Seyukis. (Seyuki is fine with math, he just has trouble knowing how to apply it to physics) The principal mutters under his breath and then says, "Well, uh, you're disturbing the rest of the class, so you have to desist in such a violation of peace in the classroom."

You shrug and all three of you answer in harmony, "Yes sir." The principal can't seem to think of anything else to say and dismisses you. You're walking down the hall back to the class room and mark says, "Well that was stupid." You nod and Seyuki remarks, "Yeah, and we weren't disturbing the class anyways! What disturbs the class is the teacher yelling at us."

You interrupt, "Well at least we didn't get punished, you're parents would be so angry Mark." He laughs, "Yeah I'd be grounded for a month!" Seyuki rolls his eyes, "Man I'm glad my parents aren't like yours; they'd have grounded me for life when I got suspended last year." You don't say anything about your parents, you try not to let people know you live alone. You reach the class room and sit down in your desks just as the bell goes.

In grace 11 applied math, one of your few grade 11 classes, all of the girls are there. You start out all sitting near each other, but of course Wakako and Celina get Separated, so Wakako is on the other side of the class room. Celina leans over and says to you, "Did Wakako tell you we saw Seyuki on the week end?"

You don't look at her as you continue to write down the stuff on the black board, but do answer, "Yeah, I heard you didn't say very much. You're always so shy, but that seemed a bit over the top, were you just trying to be nice to Wakako." Celina gasps and whispers, "How did you know!"

You shrug and glance up at the black board, your hand scribbling notes the whole time, "Well I know you like Seyuki a lot, but you're also a very dedicated friend, plus I know you're not THAT shy, so it was an obvious deduction." She blushes, "Yeah I guess so." The teacher notices all your talking and says, "Miss Celina, you've been warned once already! Please move to the empty desk in the back corner of the class room. A few students snicker and she blushes profusely as she picks up her stuff and walks to the back of the class room.

The bell does and you jump up form your desk, "Yay! Schools done!" Kagome laughs and says, "We still have 3 more days, remember?" You smile brightly, "Ya but this one is over, so I'm still happy!" Apparently happiness is like a very contagious disease, because Kagome starts to smile to. You meet up with Celina and Wakako at the doors, and the four of you start out on your way home.

Celina comes home with you. She had been having trouble with the math, probably because she didn't listen, so you offered to help her today. You sit down at the table and ask, "Would you like so tea?" She nods and smiles, "Yes I would love some tea!" You put the kettle onto boil and open your books.

She opens hers and points to a question, which you begin to explain. You whip out your notes and start to point out stuff there, and do calculations on your graphing calculator. You tell her to do the next question on her own, with the help of your notes, while you go and change. You quickly undress and put on a camouflage tank top and tight blue jeans. Upon returning you find that she's almost got it. You re-explain it to her and show her what she did wrong, and then make the tea.

You look at the clock after a long while and it's about 5:30, so you say, "Shouldn't you call your parents to tell you where you are?" She gets flustered and answers, "Oh, yes. You're right I should have done that a long time ago! Can I stay for supper Tabitha?" You consent and she calls her mom, telling her she'll be home after dinner.

It's finally 7:00 and you've got most of it all figured out. Celina packs up her stuff while you do the dishes, saying, "Thank you so much Tabitha! I can pay you for tutoring me, if you like, it's the least I can do!" She starts to dig around in her purse, at which you take your hands out of the water and say, "No, no! It's ok Celina, I don't mind helping you; what friends are for, right?" She nods, but still questions, "Are you sure?"

You nod and as you do you see something out the window, and say, "Could you hold on a minute?" You go outside and there's a strong wind blowing at your back. You walk around to the side of the house and see some white hair hanging down form a tree without looking you reach your arm up and grab it, saying, "Gotcha!" You hear and "Meow-owr!" and you bring your arm down with a fluffy long haired cat in your hand.

You're holding it by its tail and it's doubled over scratching at your wrist like crazy. It bites you and you drop in. "Ouch!" You exclaim and grab your wrist. You let go and look at the blood on your hand and wrist. oh well they're tiny little flesh wounds, they'll heal within an hour or so.

You enter the house again and Celina exclaims, "Tabitha! You're arm, what did you do?" You answer bluntly, "I was getting a cat out of a tree." She smiles, "That's so nice Tabitha!" (Celina likes animals) You shrug and say, "There's a big wind out there in the direction you're walking, so I'll give you a ride home, k?" She nods and says, "I didn't know you had a car."

On the drive you begin to think, I thought that was Shessomaru in that tree. Oh well, it's a good thing it wasn't or Celina might have seen him. You drop off Celina, who thanks you again, then go home and finish the dishes.

It's not that late, but you are kinda tired. You get undressed, put on pyjamas and climb under your covers. You turn off your lights and close your eyes. You're drifting off to sleep when you hear something. it's just the wind, ignore it you think and roll over. Some thing nudges you and you open your eyes.

Shessomaru is staring down at you. "Is this a dream?" You say, still mostly asleep. He smiles, "No I just wanted to let you know I was here. Good night." You grab his hand as he turns around and say, "No, stay." He turns around and says, "Are you sure?" You nod and pat the covers beside you. It takes him a while to get off his armour, and his shirt. (not his pants, though; remember the morals your grand mother taught you.) He climbs in under the covers next to you and you snuggle up to him. He kisses your cheek and says, "I missed you." You smile and say, "I missed you to." And at that you fall asleep.
