Chapter Four
Kagome tapped her pencil lightly on her desk as she looked at the front of the classroom where the teacher was currently, well, teaching. It seemed no matter how many times she looked at the board, she just couldn't understand. It also wasn't any help that her attention kept wavering. She didn't mean to, but she couldn't help it.
'I wonder if it's the tone of the teacher's voice….' Kagome thought. Indeed, the teacher's voice was one of those voices that seemed monotone and dreary.
Kagome looked across the room and saw Sango seemed to be having the same problem. The only difference was that Sango seemed to not be making any effort to hide it, if her doodling in her notebook was any indication. Kagome let out a small sigh as she looked back at the teacher and the board.
Right when the bell was about to ring the teacher made an announcement. "Class, please remember that the school dance for the semester is coming up." Many people in the class perked up at this as he said it, clearly excited.
Right as the teacher finished the bell rang. The students quickly gathered up their things and began talking excitedly as they walked out of the room. Kagome walked over to Sango and they began walking to their next class.
"Dance?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Oh, that's right. You don't know about it, do you?" Sango asked as she looked at Kagome seriously. Kagome shook her head 'no' and waited for Sango to explain.
"You see, we have a dance every semester. Since this is the first semester one, the boys ask the girls. On the one in the second semester the girls ask the guys. Lots of people like going to these to hang out and be with their boyfriend or girlfriend." Sango explained. It seemed as is Sango was about to say more when her name rang through the halls.
"Sango!" Came Miroku's voice as he practically ran to catch up with her. Kagome stole a quick glance at Sango. Kagome couldn't help but notice how annoyed she looked. It was then that's Miroku caught up with them.
"What is it, Miroku?" Sango said exasperatedly as her gaze rested on him.
"Ah Sango" Miroku said, clearly happy that she was at least listening to him "I was wondering if you would-" Miroku's voice was cut off by Sango.
"No." She said sternly and looked away. Sango then proceeded to walk away, a confused Kagome behind her.
"What was he going to say, Sango?" Kagome asked as she struggled just to keep up with the furious Sango.
Sango stopped and looked at the ground. "He was going to ask me to the dance." Sango replied simply "There is no way I am going with him." She added, her voice full of determination.
"Sango, maybe you should just give Miroku a chance. You never know…." Kagome said. Sango just shook her head 'no' and walked in their next class.
As Kagome followed behind Sango, she couldn't help but think 'This is going to be a long day…'
-----------------------
From the look on Miroku's face, Inuyasha didn't even have to guess what happened the few minutes Miroku had left him to talk to Sango.
"Let me guess, she said no." Inuyasha stated as he looked at Miroku's face. Miroku let out an unhappy sigh.
"I'm afraid you are right." Miroku stated sadly. He looked back at the place where Sango had been not long before and couldn't help but feel a small sense of longing.
"I don't know why you're so attracted to her, its not like she likes you in return. You should just give up on her and move on" Inuyasha stated gruffly, as if he would rather not be giving advice to people. Miroku shook his head.
"You just don't understand, Inuyasha." Miroku said, "I can't help but like her. Don't ask me why, I just get this feeling…" He stopped, as if unable to find any other way to describe it.
"Whatever, Miroku. But I'm telling you, she doesn't like you." Inuyasha said as he turned to go to his next class. A sad smile appeared on Miroku's face as he, too walked in his classroom just in time for the bell.
------------------------------
By the time school ended Kagome felt very tired. As she opened the door she said a quick hello to her mother before heading to her room. As Kagome laid her head on her pillow she immediately fell asleep. It was as if some unknown force had sent her to sleep. Right when she fell asleep, a dream began.
It wasn't a couple hours later until she awoke with a small jump. Slowly she began recalling her dream and shook her head. 'It was just a dream, Kagome' Kagome told herself as she recalled at. 'After all, people don't just have dog-ears instead of human ones, that is ridiculous' She told herself as she grabbed her bag.
She walked over to her desk and took out a pencil and paper to begin to homework. 'It felt so much like a memory, though.' Kagome thought, but pushed it to the back of her mind. She needed to finish her homework! She looked determinedly at her paper and began to work on it.
-------------------------------
Kagome woke up the next morning with a yawn. A small frown covered her face, though. She had had more of the dreams again, except it seemed to have continued from where it had left off. She couldn't help but shake the feeling of familiar ness she felt from the dreams she had.
The feeling she got was that it wasn't just dreams, but bits of her life she was remembering. She shook her head. Of course that wasn't true! After all, she couldn't be just remembering these things. They would have had to of been recent, considering her age in her dreams. So either she was extremely forgetful, she was going crazy, or they where just dreams. Kagome went with the third one.
With that, she got up and began getting ready for another long day at school.

And there's another chapter. I am noticing that my chapters seem to be getting smaller and smaller. Hmmmm. Oh well. Anyway, I hope you liked it. I will try to get the next one up as soon as possible! So, until next time!
