We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

"Otonashi and Kagome, what took you two so long?" Yuri asked, sitting at her desk with the operation screen on. Otonashi and Kagome had burst into the principals office, panting. "Otonashi...tricked...mapo...tofu..." Kagome managed to get out before collapsing onto the floor, out of breath. Yuri raised and eyebrow. "You mean the super spicy mapo tofu that no one can eat besides Kanade-chan without getting their tounge burned off?"
All Kagome could do was nod. "Kagome was screaming bloody murder while chasing him," Hinata added. "It was quite amusing to watch."
"How shallow-minded," Shinna commented from her corner of the room.
"Otonashi finally got a girl to chase him?" Oyama said, completely clueless about the subject.
"Yes, but in the murderous way," Fujimaki responded.
"Take and chance and luck!" TK shouted.
"Are you sure Kagome is good enough to join the battlefront?" Takamatsu inquired, pushing the glasses on his nose upwards, as it was a habit of his.
"She does have the guts and strength to chase Otonashi around the school," Oyama pointed out. Kagome grinned appreciatively at him.
"Doesn't necessarilly mean she's good when it comes to fighting." said Noda.
"But what about the mapo tofu?" Oyama asked.
"Otonashi started it!" Kagome pointed an accusing finger at Otonashi.
"You were chasing me like a mad woman, not to mention screaming bloody murder!" Otonashi exclaimed.
"You were then one who tricked me into eating it in the first place!" Kagome shouted.
"It was your choice!"
"Was not!"
"Was to!"
"Was not!"
"Now, now you two." This was Hinata.
"Was to!" The two continued to bicker back and forth.
"Was not!"
"Was to!"
"Not!"
"To!"
"Not!"
"To!"
"Not!"
"To!"
"SILENCE!" Yuri bellowed and the room fell silent.
"Okay. As you all know, this monster has been more of a recent threat. Tonight, we will have the Girls Dead Monster perform, just in case we get into a fight. Kagome."
"Uhh, yes?"
"Do you know how to use any weapons?"
"I know how to do archery," Kagome said.
"Fine. We'll put you the rooftop so you ca fire your...arrows."
"I told you she'd be completely useless," Noda smirked. Kagome threw a shoe at him. It's target didn't stand a chance. "What the hell was that for!" Noda yelled, raising his ax-like weapon.
"I'm not useless!" Kagome yelled.
"You'll pay for it!" Noda raised his ax.
"Takeyama!"
"Please call me Ch..."
"Just say it!"
"Yes sir. 3.14157932384626..."
Noda stopped and covered his ears to try to drown out Takeyama's chanting of the digits of Pi. The numbers of Pi only affected Noda like that because that's how much of an idiot he is. Noda twisted in pain on the ground until he finally collapsed and "died" from the steady flow of numbers said by Takeyama.
Kagome had no idea what to think.
"Alright...Mission start!" Yuri announced. No one argued.

"Achoo!" Kagome sneezed. The evening was feeling a bit chilly for her and the uniform Yuri had given her wasn't helping. It was a blue miniskirt with a white shirt and a small red scarf. It reminded her of her middle school uniform that she wore in the Feudal Era while she was alive.
She watched as her fellow teammates walked around holding guns and other weaponry that was much more effective than her stupid arrows. She hated feeling useless in times like these. It reminded her of how she felt when she stood by uselessly as she watched all her friends fight demons. At those times, she really did feel like she was only a jewel shard detector.
Kagome snapped out of her self-pity when the first gunshot rang out. She could hear Girls Dead Monster, with their new lead singer, Maiko, singing a song in the gymnasium. Kagome prepared an arrow and looked down below. Through the darkness, she squinted her eyes and spotted a silver-red blur being fired at by Yuri and everyone else. Kagome pulled back the arrow. 'Let's see if my powers still work!'
Kagome fired the arrow.
A burst of pink light came out of the arrow as it flew towards the blur. The arrow missed its target by a few feet. The blur froze for a moment and Kagome cursed the darkness which was obscuring her view of the creature.
The was a tense silence the built up.
"Fire!" Yuri finally ordered and the rattling of guns could be heard again. The blur took action again, this time speeding towards the school, avoiding all of the people firing guns at him, instead of killing them. "Kagome! Get out of the rooftop!" Yuri shouted above the gun noise. Kagome heard her and looked down.
The blur was already climbing the building and was halfway from Kagome. Kagome had no idea what to do. She wanted to know who this monster was, but she didn't want to "die." 'I have to show everyone that I'm good enough to fight!' she thought. So she took out her bow and prepared to fire it.
The silver and red blur shot upwards into the air and landed with a thud on the rooftop, shaking it slightly. Kaogme felt weak at her knees and nearly lost her footing and tripped, but she stayed where she was.
The monster was truly "gorgeous," if that could describe it. It's golden eyes pierced through the night, it's hair flapping wildly in the wind, catching the light of the full moon. The red haori, drenched in blood, stood out in the scene and, of course, a pair of white dog ears sat on it's head.
Kagome put down her bow and arrow and took a nice slow step towards him. It growled as a warning, but Kagome ignored it. Each step became faster and bigger as she walked closer and closer. She blocked out the protests from the battlefront, demanding to know what she was doing.
Kagome was now only a foot away from the thing. She was so overwhelmed with different emotions that she began to feel her eyes tear up. Then she said it.
"Inu..yasha...is...is..it you?" Kagome asked softly.
"Who the hell are you wench?" it growled.
I had to end it that way. Spring Break is finally here! But I have a lot of home-homework to do...so I won't be able to update as much as I thought I would be able to.
