Kyoinu and Becca stood like that for a couple of minutes before Becca remembered about Kagome. "Holy shit! Kagome! Can you help me find 326?" Becca asked, hurrying out of the door. She turned the corner and was pulled back as Kyoinu led her the other way.
"It's this way." He told her, dragging her along to the lecture room.
"Wait, where are we going?" Becca asked as she noticed that they were walking past professors' offices.
"She's going to be in the office., It's school policy to interview possible new students to se if they're right for the college." He explained, stopping at a door that said, "326" in bold, black, letters. He knocked quickly before letting himself in. He nearly had to catch Becca as she slammed into his back when he stopped short.
"Now that's a different way of interviewing." Becca observed as she spotted Kagome in a lip-lock with the professor.
"Bec!" Kagome gasped, butting as much distance as she could between her and the professor.
"Inuyasha? You're teaching here too?" Becca questioned.
"Well no shit, who the hell else would Kagome be kissing?" Inuyasha snapped, pulling Kagome possessively against him.
"I just didn't think you were smart enough." Becca said before ducking behind Kyoinu.
"Oi!" Inuyasha yelled, trying to get past his twin to get to Becca.

Becca heaved a sigh and turned away from the computer, rubbing her tired eyes. It was Friday night, and she had been working on typing up the same file of over an hour. Kyoinu was supposed to be bringing her food after his 4:00 class. It was a slow night at Demon Relations, so Carl had her working on files. This wasn't Becca's favorite idea to be spending a Friday night, but she sucked it up.
Suddenly, a petite woman in expensive clothing burst into her office, making her jump. "I need to find someone. She's missing." She stated, seating herself stiffly on the office's couch. Becca sighed and grabbed a missing person's report.
"Name and the date she went missing?" Becca asked.
"Fae Frueh, and all I know is she disappeared a while ago." The woman told her. Becca's pen stopped mid-letter and she looked at the woman in surprise.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but she's deceased." Becca explained sadly and gently.
"How would you know? Are you psychic?" The woman snapped angrily, standing up and putting her hands on her hips.
"Look, I don't know who you are, lady, but I know when my own mother died. Now please leave my office." Becca exploded, standing up and slamming her hands on her desk.
"Y-your mother?" the woman stammered, looking closely at Becca.
"Yes. She died four years ago September 8th. Please leave my office." Becca said, using her powers to gently but firmly push the woman out, slamming the door behind her. Becca collapsed back down in her seat and held her head in her hands. Her mother's death was not something she wanted to talk about, let alone with a complete stranger.
"Hey Bec?" Kyoinu's voice called softly from the other side of the door, accompanied by a soft knock. "You okay?"
"A little shaken, but I think I'm okay. You can come in you know." Becca called, not moving from her desk.
"What was that about? I almost got run over by this lady high-tailing it from your office." Kyoinu said, plopping two Ziplock containers on her desk.
"What's this?" Becca asked cautiously, opening the container carefully.
"It's spaghetti. Sango made it for us. She complained that we've been feeding Shippo too much pocky." Kyoinu explained, rolling his eyes.
"Sango cooked? I thought they didn't know where you lived." Becca said in confusion.
"Well…uh…we lied." Kyoinu said sheepishly, scratching the back of his head nervously.
"Why I told you to surprise Kagome, I don't know." Becca said, popping one of the containers into the microwave that she had bought when she had started staying at the office until ungodly hours of the night.
"What was that lady here for?" Kyoinu asked again after a couple of minutes. Becca sighed and popped the second container in the microwave.
"She came in wanting to file a missing person's report." She told him, hunting for utensils.
"Then why was she so pissed off?" Kyoinu asked.
"The report was for my mother." Becca said casually, setting a bowl in front of him before sitting down in her chair. She had her first forkful halfway to her mouth when her intercom beeped. Dropping her fork back into the bowl, she pressed the button.
"Yeah?"
"Becca, I have a woman here who says you were very
rude to her when she came to file a report." Carl's voice buzzed
from the intercom.
"Carl, I'm not in the fucking mood. Of course I'm going to flip out when she accused me of lying about my mother's fucking death. Tell her if she wants a civil conversation, she can come in without the goddamn attitude! I don't need this bullshit. If you need me, you know my number." She yelled into the intercom before slamming down the privacy button on the intercom.
"I don't know why the hell he just did that. He knows my mom's death is a touchy subject for me, even though I see her all the time." She sighed, trying to calm down, pushing her bowl away and holding her head in her hands. She felt the hot tears streaming down her face before she even had the chance to push them back. She was sobbing in a matter of minutes.
"Come here." Came Kyoinu's soft voice. Becca didn't move and felt strong arms pick her up and carry her over to the couch. Becca sobbed into Kyoinu's shirt and curled against him as she sat on his lap. Kyoinu tucked her head under his chin and rubbed her back soothingly, letting her cry.
