Hey everybody! I just had a snow day this week, and it was amazing. Oh, It might start getting kind of confusing with "he's" and "she's", because from Kagome's point of view she's a girl, but everyone else thinks she's a guy. You just have to remember that NO ONE knows that Kagome is a girl right now, except for Souta! So whenever the words "Kagome" or "she" are used, that is the NARRATOR (me!) talking, not InuYasha or anyone else, so InuYasha does NOT know that Kagome is a girl at this point. Thanks for reading!

Chapter 2: Confusion
InuYasha cocked his head as he turned off his music with a soft click. He listened quietly for a second before padding over towards the door. The kid had finally stopped trying to break down the door, it seemed, since InuYasha couldn't hear anything going on. Maybe someone had come by and taken that damn kid to their room. Well, great! Good riddance.
InuYasha listened at the door for another minute, heard nothing, and opened the door…almost stumbling over Kagome's sleeping form. Kagome was curled up on the hard floor with her school jacket for a pillow. InuYasha looked down in shock. This kid had stayed here the whole time, and hadn't gone off crying for help?
Maybe he has more balls than I gave him credit for… InuYasha mused. (A/N Haha, yeah…) InuYasha was just about to kick the kid to wake him up, when she gave a frightened squeak. InuYasha pulled his foot back hastily. He hadn't done anything…yet… Then she turned over, and InuYasha saw she was still asleep. Kagome squirmed and cried out in her sleep again. It looked like the kid's having a nightmare. InuYasha would have burst out laughing, if he hadn't seen a look of pure horror cross onto Kagome's tortured face. InuYasha bent down, glanced both directions down the hall, then gently shook Kagome by the shoulders.
"Kageki…come on…wake up!" InuYasha whispered into Kagome's ear, but instead of the desired outcome, Kagome latched onto InuYasha's waist and buried her head in InuYasha's chest.
"Wha-" InuYasha growled and tried to pry the kid off, but she was stuck tight. InuYasha glanced around. If anyone were to come out right now… Grumbling, InuYasha lifted the kid into his arms, and swiftly carried her into the room, kicking the door closed as he walked in. He set Kagome down on the bed and immediately she let go, grabbing onto her pillow instead and murmuring something in her sleep contentedly. InuYasha stared down at the new kid for a second. That expression of terror that had been plastered onto the kid's face flashed into InuYasha's mind. What could make a kid have a nightmare like that?
Then suddenly, of their own accord, InuYasha's hands snaked out and tucked the blanket over Kagome's sleeping body. InuYasha stifled a yelp. What the hell had made him do that? This damn kid…he's too confusing. InuYasha flicked off the lights, fell into his bed, and began to snore.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
BLEEP! BLEEP! BLEEP!
Kagome shot awake to the noise of an alarm clock blaring in her ear. For a second she was disoriented. This wasn't or home, or the hotel room she had become accustomed to staying in. Then she remembered that she was going to a boarding school now, which only made Kagome more confused. Why wasn't she still out in the hallway?
Kagome heard some muffled cursing and an arm reached out from under the covers of InuYasha's bed and silenced the alarm clock. The arm slid back under the blanket, and Kagome watched in mild amusement as snoring began to come from the bed once again.
"Just out of curiosity, shouldn't you be getting up?" InuYasha flung back the covers at the sound of Kagome's voice and looked around, then slumped back into bed when he saw Kageki.
"Oh yeah…you're here." He got out of bed and began rummaging through the closet by his bed. Kagome looked around and saw that she had an identical closet by her bed.
"So," said Kagome conversationally as she poked her head into the closet. It was full of school uniforms as well as a few bars of soap and some complimentary shampoo. "Do you know how I got in here last night? I think I fell asleep in the hallway."
The rustling sounds from InuYasha's side of the room abruptly stopped.
"What makes you think I would know that?" Inuyasha declared loudly, sticking his head further into his closet to cover up his blush. "I unlocked the door later at night. Maybe you sleep walk." InuYasha paused, and looked over at Kagome carefully. "Did you…did you sleep okay last night?" Kagome froze up. She had had another one of her nightmares last night. In fact, it was worse than it normally was, and much more vivid. There was probably a chance that she did sleep walk. However, it did differ from some of the other nightmares she had. The nightmare never finished. Somewhere during the middle, it just broke off, and Kagome had drifted off into dreamless bliss.
"I…I slept fine!" stammered Kagome, turning back to her closet, and pulling out a uniform. She glanced around and noticed InuYasha beginning to take of his clothes to change. Blushing, Kagome grabbed her uniform and dove for the bathroom. InuYasha blinked and turned at the sound of the door slamming.
What a strange kid…
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Kageki…Kageki!" Kagome snapped her head up at the sound of Sango's voice. She had been thinking about her nightmare last night, and hadn't remembered to respond to her pseudo name.
"Oh…Yeah, Sango?" Sango laughed.
"I've been trying to get through to you for about five minutes now! We were just talking about sports. What sports do you participate in?" They were all sitting at a table in the cafeteria, during lunch. Even InuYasha was here today. Kagome blanched. At her old school, she had loved to play volleyball, but of course she couldn't say that now.
"Um…I've never really been into sports." That much was true. Although Kagome had played volleyball, she hadn't been very good at it. She had always darted around the whole half court, and tried to get all the passes. She had trouble just staying still. "But, um…I've been thinking about trying out for…" Kagome's mind raced frantically. What was a sport that guys always played? "…football!"
The table fell silent for a second, then everyone burst out laughing at once.
"You…you want to try out for football?" Miroku gasped. Kagome started to blush. What was so funny about that? Now that she had started to think about it, she had always wanted to try football, but only the boys were allowed. Now was her chance.
"Um…no offense Kageki," Sango said, "but your not exactly the football type."
Kagome narrowed her eyes. "Oh yeah? Then what's the football type?"
"Well," Sango paused, and grinned. "May I present to you InuYasha, Miroku, and Kouga!" All three of the men instantly struck a pose and Kagome laughed out loud. Sango continued, "These three are the stars of our football team. They are tall, muscular, and weigh a whole lot more than you do. You, Kageki, are short, skinny, and probably weigh as much as a twig." Kagome bristled. Just because she was smaller doesn't mean she didn't have a chance! She'd show them that a girl can play football!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Well, it's not exactly long, like I was hoping for, but I wanted to get a new chapter up as soon as possible, and I have been working on it all week, but I just couldn't get it right. Hope you like it anyway!
