A week later Kagome jumped out of the well in the feudal era. She had gone back briefly to pick up her essay and write a midterm. Sesshomaru was waiting for her. After she had written her essay, she had spent the week with her friends and him in the feudal era. Everyone was shocked, to say the least, when Kagome told them that Sesshomaru and her were "dating." She had to explain the concept to them. Sango and Miroku were happy for her but a little apprehensive. Inuyasha was... like a volcano that erupted and spewed out cuss words, bits of forest it had destroyed during a tantrum, and occasionally Shippo, who got the blunt end of his anger. Kagome was happy to find that, after a few days, Inuyasha had calmed down again and was accepting of their relationship. Kagome knew that if Inuyasha and Sesshomaru had a better relationship Inuyasha would have accepted the news better, so Kagome blamed Sesshomaru for picking on his younger brother. Sesshomaru shrugged and told her it was not his problem his half brother was not sensible.
Kagome swung her leg over the well and ran to take Sesshomaru's outstretched hand. She smiled at him and she could see he had missed her.
"The test was a disaster! But the essay went very well. I got an A+!" Kagome exclaimed and Sesshomaru's eyes seem to fill with the slightest bit of pride. She had explained their grading system to him so he knew it was the highest grade she could get. Kagome took the paper out of her backpack and showed him the "100%" circled in red marker.
"Kagome," She began to read, using her professors tone, "This was very well done. Your examples were accurate and I enjoyed reading your essay. I was happy to see that you had fun with this assignment. The characters you created to illustrate the material from class were excellent. Inuyasha must only be 10 years old to behave the way he does but I found myself intrigued about him and his relationship with his older brother. I can see that Sesshomaru and Hitomi will be very happy together. Both of them are hilarious and very stubborn. I wish that you would have made Sesshomaru less snobby." Kagome laughed as she read this. She then said "I had to stay true to your character."
"Hm," Sesshomaru sounded displeased.
"Oh lighten up," Kagome waved her hand around in the air to dismiss his mood. She then resumed reading in her professor's voice, "I am happy to see you have such a wonderful imagination. Keep up the good work in my class." Kagome smiled triumphantly and put the essay away. Her eyes widened slightly when Sesshomaru kissed her cheek quickly.
"Let us hurry. The others are waiting and you are walking far too slowly," He scolded her and Kagome picked up her pace. She could see Inuyasha and Sango waving at her in the distance. She waved back and squeezed Sesshomaru's hand again. This was definitely the best assignment she had ever worked on.
