Kagome continued to daydream through her 4th period, it was nearing lunch time and the only thing she had on her mind was Inuyasha.

He promised me he would meet me for lunch today, which is going to be great! I can't wait; maybe we'll be like those couples on TV who feed each other food… I'd love that! Wait a second, he'd never do that, and this is Inuyasha after all. Kagome began to massage her chin as she fantasized how Inuyasha would romantically sweep her off her feet as he gave her a first-class view of Tokyo on his shoulders.

Daydream #342861

"Kagome… I need you in my arms tonight… baby please don't ever leave me again. I want you and I to be together always… without you my life bears no purpose… you complete me." With those words Inuyasha pulled Kagome into his arms and wrapped his arms around her small frame. He caressed her back and kissed her forehead, gazed deeply into her eyes and whispered, "I love you…"

"KAGOME! The class is over! WAKE UP!" Ari bellowed through a poster rolled up into a thin cylinder. Kagome jumped up and banged her knee against her desk and shouted in pain. She was having such a great dream and Ari interrupted her from paradise, she wasn't too happy.

Kagome gave Ari her famous death look and shrieked, "God Ari! I was having SUCH a good-"

"Dream? Yeah I noticed… everyone noticed... you were smiling in your sleep and murmuring something I couldn't quite understand." Ari said as she finished Kagome's sentence for her. Kagome flushed, she didn't think she was sleep talking AND smiling, she was hoping that nobody knew she was thinking about Inuyasha. She gathered her bag and school things and stomped out of the door, running behind her locker to hide her face that was growing pinker by the second.

"Hi there Kagome!" a familiar voice rang through Kagome's ears and she quickly turned around to see who it was. A tall boy with chestnut brown hair was beaming back at her and walking closer to her locker.

"Hojo-kun…" Kagome sighed as she looked around for a close exit; sadly there weren't any in sight.

"I brought you garlic and honey, it's great for your throat when crushed and blended into spring water. That will surely beat your bronchitis Kagome!" Hojo said as he handed her a small box that smelled entirely like garlic, the aroma of honey sadly didn't meet Kagome's poor nose.

"My my Hojo-kun, I wouldn't expect anything less from you!" Kagome said as she smiled rather childishly at Hojo. She tried her hardest to block out the strong smell of garlic from her nasal cavity, her attempts didn't work.

"Well Kagome, I heard from Miss. Matsumoto that you were unwell and I decided to prepare you a traditional remedy passed down from my ancestors!" Hojo exclaimed with a nervous laugh. Kagome was thinking how her grandfather managed to persuade her school teachers yet again, and bronchitis? What the heck was that?

"Well thankyou Hojo-kun, I'm happy that you took the time and effort to do such a thing, but to be honest I have to run. I have to meet somebody in about…" Kagome said as she glanced at her watched, "NOW!!" and with that she was off to the other end of the hallway, garlic box and school bag in hand. Hojo sighed as he turned around and headed for the school cafeteria.

Kagome sat in the middle of the courtyard; she pulled out ramen and rice balls out of her backpack and dug under her notebooks to find a pair of chopsticks. She had a picnic cloth in her bag from the last time she was in the feudal area and she laid it neatly on a patch of grass. She had her perfect picnic set for two, water bottles and delicious food and a single pair of chopsticks, so they could take turns eating OR feed each other. Kagome smiled at this very thought but knew it was highly unlikely; nevertheless she savored the thought that flooded her daily fantasies.

Meanwhile Inuyasha was running to the source of jyaki that surrounded his nostrils. As he ran he noticed buildings he had seen previously with Kagome, he was close to her school. Oh crap! I was supposed to eat with her at noon! Inuyasha smacked his head when it suddenly hit him- the jyaki was leading to Kagome.

"FUCK!" Inuyasha shouted in rage, he achieved full speed and his adrenalin kicked in, he was regretting that he ever left her. He hoped that nothing would happen to her and cursed Naraku under his breath. Amurante was closely following behind and wondering where exactly he was leading her. Bastard! He knows that she is my weakness; this was all a mother fucking trap! I'm going to tear you to bits without hesitation if you lay your hands on her!

Kagome stretched her legs and yawned after nearly 10 minutes of waiting for Inuyasha. She wondered what was taking him so long; she worried that he got lost on the way back. Then again he could smell Kagome from a mile away so it wouldn't be a problem, right? Kagome scratched her skull when she noticed she caught Inuyasha in the corner of her eye.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome exclaimed, she had fully risen from the ground and jumped to greet him. "What took you so long?" She asked as she playfully slapped him on the arm.

"Forgive me, I must have forgotten about you" Inuyasha said as he held her hand gently. Kagome smiled and sat down on the picnic cloth, she gestured Inuyasha to sit beside her.

"You know I'm a little surprised that you haven't bugged me to come back to the feudal era yet. I mean you always say that we should stop wasting time and go back to collect more jewel shards." Kagome said as she placed a cup of ramen in front of Inuyasha.

"Speaking of the jewel shards, do you have them with you?" Inuyasha asked as he pushed his ramen aside. Kagome noticed this from the corner of her eye, and that was this was quite unusual, but didn't say anything.

"Well you know I have them with me, attached to my chain here" Kagome said as she pulled out her necklace. A miniature bottle with a cork lid had several lavender colored shards inside of it and was glowing brightly; she quickly tucked it back under her school uniform to avoid suspicion from other students.

"You remember that demon Yura or something? The one with the crazy hair who wanted to cut of your head to get your 'pretty silver hair'? Yeah well I sorta got paranoid after her hair went through the well to my time so I started to keep the jewel shards with me regardless of wherever I was- even in this time." Kagome said and took a deep breath; she smiled at Inuyasha who had such a vague expression on his face.

"I see, that's called being responsible and I praise you for your efforts." Inuyasha said as he looked Kagome up and down.

What the heck was with him? He was being so unusually polite and speaking so weirdly, and not even eating ramen! Kagome started to dig into the ramen and brought her chopsticks up to Inuyasha's mouth and stuffed her chopsticks deep into his throat. Inuyasha almost choked but banged his chest and swallowed the food. Kagome giggled and started on her own portion. Inuyasha smiled at her and grabbed her chopsticks from her, and started to feed her some of his ramen.

Oh my god, this is exactly what I dreamt of! THANK YOU GOD! Kagome thought as she felt goose bumps all over her skin. She was flooded with happiness but knew that this feeling was something that was temporary.

"You know Inuyasha, I'm really glad you took the time to come back and sit with me for lunch, it was very thoughtful of you. I really appreciate it, but do you mind if I just go to my locker to bring back some more food for us? I mean I finished most of the ramen and I'm sure that you would like some more, even I would like some more!" Kagome said as she got up and clutched her schoolbag.

"Not at all," Inuyasha said as he sat still on the cloth, his hands in his sleeves. Kagome smiled as she walked away, she was headed to the 2nd floor of her school and to the very end of the hall of the second building. It was going to be a long walk… but she was occupied with various thoughts and reached her destination shortly after. She opened her locker and grabbed what she came for- her bow and arrow. She had become paranoid after the hair demon incident, and kept extra protection with her all the time.

She seized an arrow from her arrow case that was attached to her back and pulled back for maximum resistance. She got back to the courtyard and glanced around before walking through the door, there were no students in sight. Her bow and arrow behind her back, (still pulled back), were causing a slight twinge of pain in her upper arms.

Inuyasha looked at her and bore his fangs as he smiled, "You are a very smart girl" he added, and rose from the floor and flexed his claws.

"Oh yes, I get that quite a lot, now are you going to tell me why you're here, or am I going to have to force it out of you?" Kagome said as she aimed her arrow straight between Inuyasha's eyes.

"So tell me, what gave it away exactly? I was trying my best to persuade you," a thick voice hissed.

"Didn't work so well… I know Inuyasha very well, and I'm not going to be fooled by an amateur… Naraku" Kagome spat. He couldn't fool her, Inuyasha was the man she loved and she memorized his actions and his cute childish ways, including his temper to his tender loving care. The only way to clarify her suspicions was by using "sit" on the imposter, and she did, she wasn't surprised that it had no effect.

Naraku came to his senses and wore a disguise that suited him, his fur cloak and mask. He had successfully confronted Kagome without the interference of Inuyasha, and he was going to get the prize he came for… it had a strong aura emerging from Kagome's shirt. He had his eye on the prize… and he wasn't going to let it get away so easily.
