Hello again! :D

First off I wanted to say thank you everyone for the favs, alerts, and reviews!

kaitlynpope77 - Thank you and great question, I would love to answer it but that would give too much away. There will be a chapter all about that thoughjust so yah know but that's later on.

Emelytink101- Thank you and sorry I couldn't figure out how to reply to you sooner but it took me so long mostly because summer is the busy season. I'm always doing something so I have little time to write in-between everything.

Sorry if it seems like I rushed through this chapter but it really frustrated me. I had it all typed out and went to delete a paragraph to rewrite it and somehow I deleted everything and saved it. So I had to rewrite the whole chapter and well, I don't remember everything that I had before but I did my best to retype it the way I had it, didn't work out so well though.

But um… yeah ^^

The story is rated M for safety and later content…

I do not own Inuyasha characters…

Um… I hope the chapter is at least okay =]


Rin's Pov

"Sango, I'm sure that Kagome is fine." Miroku comforted nervously, rubbing the back of his neck looking at his friends with a lost expression, his violet eyes pleading for help. Sango is lucky to have someone that will try and comfort her, especially when she's as worried and angry as she is now. Even though Miroku's attempts are pretty hopeless and not really getting him anywhere it's still nice to see that he's a caring friend.

"Fine, fine, fine isn't good enough! She should be here!" my frustrated friend roared sending the boy an icy glare her hair which was pulled up into a high pony swished back and forth angrily reminding me of a cat's tail.

I could see Miroku shrink under her cold gaze, but that didn't send him running. The others, me included took a couple steps back but Miroku stood his ground.

I think Sango has a taker.

I turned my attention to Ayame and Koga. It turns out that the two don't have much in common, which I find weird seeing that they are both wolf demons. Ayame, her red hair pulled up in a messy bun, was unusually quiet this morning… I'm guessing partly because of the argument her and Koga had on the way to school about how a pack should be ran by the alphas. I'm guessing the other reason is her worry for Kagome, though she won't state it as openly as Sango, something doesn't seem to be right and she knows it.

"It is unusual for Kagome, I must admit." Kagura commented more to Miroku than anyone else before focusing on her drawing again.

"We went to her house this morning and her cook Kaede answered the door. She said that Kagome slept in and she'll be walking to school today. The thing is that Kagome doesn't sleep in. She always gets up at sunrise, she always has" Kanna added, turning the page in her book.

Despite the calm expression they wore tension filled the air it seemed to be radiating off of their bodies and right into my lungs. What's worst about this is that they're making me tense up as well.

The guys seemed more confused than anything, but I guess I can't blame them.

We can't help it. We know Kagome, how she is, what she does, exactly how she does things, and why. We can look at her when she appears calm and know how angry she truly is or take in her smile and know how badly she just wants to crawl under a rock and cry.

We know when she needs us and when she needs to be alone. When we should question her decisions and when questions will get us nowhere.

We know her. It's as simple as that.

The guys, they don't know Kagome.

"Hello girls" Kikyou's prissy high pitched voice made my ears hurt, then again it always does so nothing new.

"Kikyou" Sango hissed her anger flaring. If anyone can Sango more worked up than she already is right now, it's Kikyou.

I sighed shaking my head. I see a fight coming, and it's not going to be pretty, for anyone.

As much as I hate admitting it, attacking Kikyou is stupid seeing that she is a priestess and all. Even though they're supposed to use their powers against rogue demons and to heal the injured, Kikyou doesn't always follow the rules.

Of course, she can have her powers taken away if ever caught breaking such rules. Then again even if she would end up losing her powers for good the physical pain wouldn't be wroth that satisfaction.

That, I also hate to admit, but it's true, Sango of course doesn't think about such things before acting out… and as much as I would like to avoid being thrown into a world of physical torture by one of Kikyou's spiritual blasts I will fight with Sango if that is what it comes down to.

I will stand by my sisters.

"Kikyou, how nice of you to check up on my friends for me" I smiled, relieved that Kagome had finally made it, though I hardly recognized the girl that I had come to love and respect as a sister as she walked towards us. The lively glow that usually blinds us to the point of amazement was barely noticeable, as if it wasn't there at all. But it shone dimly giving some amount of comfort, but not much. Her hair was dull and wild, obviously forced into a high ponytail, and her eyes guarded in a way that I have never seen before.

The air that surrounded her was no longer warm and calming, as usual.

Instead it was thick, cold, suffocating in a way that made me wish that I didn't need to breathe.

"K-k-Kagome" Kikyou stuttered her eyes wide with shock.

"Did you forget that we go to the same school, my dear sister?"

"No, of course not you idiot"

"Then why so surprised to see me?"

Kagome's Pov

I smiled inwardly as my sister and her 'group' stormed off without another word. It's so like her to chicken out like that.

"Kagome where the hell have you been!" I sighed, knowing better than to say anything right away.

Knowing Sango she has a whole lot more to say than just that.

"Do you know how worried I've been, first you 'slept' in, as if that's even possible. Then you're practically late for school, and Kikyou. I want to know what the hell's going on and I want to know now!"

"Sango" her name came out harsher than I intended, but now is not the time to talk and she needs to understand that.

"School is the last place for a conversation like this, I'll tell you everything, I promise, but after school, and in the safety of my own home."

The bell rang, and I didn't even bother to wait for a reply, I spun on my heel, walking towards the entrance, I could feel the presence of Kanna, Kagura, Rin, and Ayame behind me, telling them apart from everyone else was easy. Finally I felt Sango, she was the last one, but she was still there and that means a lot.

I have my girls to back me up, no matter what. I just hope that they don't think I fucked up.


"Kagome, Kagome!"

"Yes Miroku?"

"Come on, we're out of class until lunch."

"What the hell, let go of me." I pulled free of his grasp. The last thing I want is a guy touching me, even if Miroku isn't a bastard like those other creeps. I still don't feel comfortable with the fact that he's a guy.

"Kagome, we are performing a song at lunch to represent our band and since you're new we have extra time to practice. You've already been excused, now let's go, we're wasting time." This time I let Miroku pull me down the hall too lost in thought to struggle against his touch.

Great, yesterday I missed P.E. and today I get to miss Biology and History oh lucky me! Is one normal… well somewhat normal day too much to ask for!

I want to go to class

I want to stay away from Kikyou

I want to sing too, but when it's time to sing, like in music class

I want to have a normal school day

Oh screw it, since when does anything ever go the way I want it to?

"Is she mentally stable?" a cold emotionless voice asked. I blinked a couple times taking in my surroundings. We were in the music room, well one of the practice rooms that connected to the music room.

"Questioning my sanity already, are we?" I asked just as coldly, I don't know this boy I've never seen him before. He stood over me, probably about 6'2, muscular, and long knee length silver hair with narrow golden eyes.

He reminds me of Inuyasha…

"Kagome, this is Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's older brother."

"Ah, I see that's why you remind me of him."

"We're half brothers."

"That's a no brainer retard you're full demon and he's half. Not really hard to figure out." I growled, annoyed. Obviously my little outburst threw the demon off, he seemed shocked for a second, but any evidence of such thing was quickly replaced by his cold emotionless mask.

"Who's this Miroku, I like her." Another male voice questioned, I turned to see a guy with long black hair braided down his back, tan skin, and teal eyes.

"Kagome, this is Bankotsu, Bankotsu, this is Kagome."

"Pleasure to meet you"

I nodded, turning my attention back to Sesshomaru.

"So, Mr. I have a frozen stick shoved up my ass, what do you do, and aren't you a little old to be a senior, I mean you are Inuyasha's older brother, correct? Isn't he a senior?"

"I play electric guitar and violin." I narrowed my eyes someone needs to buy this dude a heater, a small portable one that doesn't require electricity so that someone can shove it up his ass with that damn stick. Maybe if the ice was melted he'd be able to pull it out.

"And Inuyasha skipped a grade, surprisingly." Or maybe not… I think it's stuck, permanently.

"I see. So, then what do you do?" I asked, turning towards Bankotsu.

"I play bass and piano"

"And I play guitar too" a high pitched male voice announced, a feminine looking guy walked towards us, his black hair pulled up into a high loose bun, he was puny for a guy built wise but he had some strength in him. He was 5'4 about my height.

"Kagome, this is Jakotsu, Bankotsu's brother."

"So this is the singer you were telling us about?" Jakotsu looked me over obviously not impressed.

I growled, who the hell does this… thing think he or she, which ever, is!

"Down kitty" Bankotsu chuckled, placing a hand on my shoulder I shrugged it off stepping away. Great, I'm alone in a room with 3 and ½ guys.

"A no contact person, you and Sesshomaru will get along great."

Jakotsu pouted ogling Sesshomaru with lust hungry eyes. Eww, someone has issues.

"Why don't you sing for us, Kagome?" Holy crap, Sesshomaru said something in a welcoming voice, no icy emotionless shit, what the hell happened.

"Sure" I smiled maybe the heater that I ordered came in.

"This is part of Treasure, by Flyleaf"

Can I tell you a story as we dance while the sun starts to bleed
Song of songs love is calling daughter wake up from your sleep

Refined I'll become the most dazzling precious treasure
I'll be treasured over all the earth

Bearing the gift of a new heart
Patience ablaze I'm slowly burning

"Okay, you can sing. Sorry for doubting your abilities. I have to say that rocked!"

Well, I felt better knowing that Jakotsu wasn't going to make a comment every time I went to sing, but his compliment still didn't get him off the hook.

"Damn girl, you sing as good as Miroku said you did."

"Thanks Bankotsu."

"That was very good."

I gave Sesshomaru another grin I guess that's the most I'll ever get out of him.

"So, are we ready to practice?"

"Hell yeah" I beamed I know exactly which song I want to sing.

"Before we do that I have to do something with your hair darling, it simply won't do."

I growled, allowing Jakotsu to pull me aside and sit me down. Maybe he won't be so bad to have around.

Inuyasha's Pov

I sat silently with the other guys listening to the girls talk about Kagome's weird behavior. Apparently none of them knew what to make of it.

They were all worried, Sango and Ayame you could tell from looking at them. Surprisingly, Sango was the one that wanted to rip someone's head off and Ayame just wanted to comfort Kagome.

These girls keep fucking with my head, I swear.

I could see Ayame wanting to rip someone's head off and Sango wanting to comfort her friend, but no, they have to go and fuck with shit by switching roles.

Kami, why can't they ever do what you expect them to do?

Is it really that hard?

Apparently so!

Kanna and Kagura went on with their lunch as they usually would making comments here and there trying to 'decode' Kagome's behavior.

Didn't she say that she would tell them later? Are girls really so impatient and nosy that they can't wait?

Rin was the quietest one of all, hardly even taking part in the conversation.

"Is it her dad's anniversary?" Ayame questioned, looking around the table.

Damn these girls are crazy!

"No, but guessing isn't going to get us anywhere, let's just wait until Kagome tells us."

"Rin, how could you say such a thing?"

There goes Sango.

"Yeah, she wasn't in second"

Ayame

"She wasn't in third either."

And Kagura and Kanna with their creepy 'in unison' thing

Have I mentioned that these girls scare the hell out of me sometimes? Yeah, they do.

"Hey, speaking of Kagome's dad, remember when he took us camping in third grade for Rin's birthday?"

Apparently the camping trip was humorous because every one of them began giggling after Sango's drastic topic change.

"Ha, yes and he burnt our campsite down while trying to make breakfast." Ayame added smiling widely.

"Then one the way home we ran out of gas and he tried pushing the truck all by himself and he pushed it off the road." Rin giggled.

"Or when we finally made it back to Kagome's and he took us out for ice cream and it started raining and Kagome and Rin got sick." Kagura smirked.

"So he made some soup but it was so hot that it burnt their throats so bad that they didn't eat anything for two weeks." Kanna finished as all of them burst into a fit of laughter.

What the fuck! A minute ago they were all freaking out and planning someone's death and now they're having a laughing attack! I will NEVER understand girls.

"It sounds like Kagome's dad is a good man." Kouga commented, as soon as the laughing died down.

"Yeah he was." Heads snapped to attention at the sound of Kagome's voice.

She was standing there with Miroku, Sesshomaru, Jakotsu, and Bankotsu.

She didn't look as messed up as she did this morning, she was glowing more like her usual self. Though it wasn't the blinding shit that practically took my eye sight yesterday it was better than earlier. Her hair wasn't a mess either somehow she found time to straighten it and had half of it thrown up in a bun leaving the rest down.

She wasn't in her school uniform anymore either, that's the upside to being in music on days when you perform because no matter what the performance is for, you can wear whatever you want.

She wore shredded, literally shredded black skinny jeans with bright blue leggings underneath, a long plain white hugging though not skin tight T-shirt that had a few rips in it, nothing huge and definitely nothing revealing. She had on some plain normal black and white high top converse also.

Miroku was in his usual dark purple button down shit but this time he rolled his sleeves up to his elbows and left three buttons undone and instead of the normal black pants he wore dark grey jeans.

The rest of the guys were dressed similarly to Miroku but Sesshomaru wore a crimson shirt and black jeans, Bankotsu a teal shirt and white jeans, and Jakotsu wore a hot pink shirt with regular dark blue jeans.

(Yeah, yeah not normal for a guy to pay attention to other guys clothing, I get it :P)

"What are you doing here?"

What the hell?

They go to school here you idiot

"We do go to school here Inuyasha, what are you guys the only ones allowed to enjoy lunch or something?" Kagome snapped. Her chocolate eyes were warning enough, "sorry" I muttered looking away.

She took my question wrong and now she's pissed, great, now the others are probably going to get on my case.

"What he means Kagome is that we usually stay by the stage waiting for our turn to perform." Miroku saves the day!

"Oh, well sorry you didn't quite state it that way maybe try expanding your vocabulary a bit, that should help." She was a bit harsh then again she's been off today. Not like the girl I talked to in the hall yesterday, no not like her at all.

Maybe she has multiple personality disorder.

"Kagome, that's not very nice." Jakotsu scolded, Kagome shrugged before taking the seat next to me. Okay, so the damn girl gets snappy with me then sits next to me, why?

The others grabbed a seat as well, awkward silence taking over.

"So, why aren't you guys waiting by the stage to perform?" Sango questioned, raising a brow.

"Kagome has a mind of her own and she can be very persuasive." Miroku chuckled nervously. She probably threatened them or something.

"Can I have everyone's attention?" Saved by the teacher!

Seriously, another minute of sitting next to Kagome with that silence and I would have been a goner.

"As most of you know the groups in music class hold a performance twice a month, and a week before their big performance they do a lunch time performance, so, today three groups will be playing for you! First up are Hojo and his group playing Women by Jamey Johnson!"

Women
Can't live with 'em
And somehow you can't ever live without

Women
Can't understand 'em
But tryin' to is what makes the world go 'round

I've made a sad one laugh
And I've made a good one cry
I've made on scream my name to the good lord by and by
I've made 'em go insane and I've made 'em go away
Just can't ever seem to make one stay

Women they're all crazy
Some hide it well and some just let it show

Women
Take it from me
I've been around enough of them to know

I've made a sad one laugh
And I've made a good one cry
I've made on scream my name to the good lord by and by
I've made 'em g insane and I've made 'em go away
Just can't ever seem to make one stay

Women
Ain't no winnin'
When all they want to do is fuss and fight

Women
Keep our heads spinnin'
But with any luck I'll take one home tonight

Everyone cheered as the song ended but Kagome was louder than them all.

"Fan of country?"

She starred at me for a second, blinking.

"Oh, my dad loved it, he used to sing that song all the time it's one of my favorites." She beamed. It's like suddenly all of her troubles vanished and there was nothing wrong in the world. Everything was right and I felt like I did something right again, seeing her smile like she had yesterday.

"Oh, I see." I couldn't think of anything else to say. My mind hasn't been processing anything like it normally does, no smart remarks to anyone I don't think I could even think of something to throw at Kikyou that would piss her off.

Today has been weird.

"That was a nice performance, now up next is Sota and his group playing will you by P.O.D." (Yes, Kagome does not have a brother in this story)

See you sittin' next to the window in the bedroom
She breaks down - breaks down
Crying over something and starin' into nothin'
Afraid now - hate now
Wanting, needing, haunting, it's killing me
Faking what has happened to live the life like that man
I'll break down - It's fake now

Will you, will you love me tomorrow?
So Will You, Will you stay with me today?

Fade in and out of reason to fight the way she's feelin'
She breaks down - breaks down
Going through the motions and holding onto hopes
and her dreams now - somehow
Shaken, mistaken, forsaken, it's killing me.
Wishing you could change, but he's always been this way
If you leave now - I'll drown

Will you, will you love me tomorrow?
So Will You, Will you stay with me today?
Will you, will you be here tomorrow?
So Will You, you remember yesterday?

Yesterday! Yesterday!
Yesterday! Yesterday!

This time, I'm sorry
This time, I'm sorry
This time, this time, I'm sorry for this time
This time, this time, I'm sorry
This time I'm sorry!

Will you, Will you love me tomorrow?
So Will You, Will you stay with me today?
Will you, Will you be here tomorrow?
So Will You, you remember yesterday?

Will you? [x6]
So Will You?
Will you? [x6]

Again everyone applauded but Kagome still remained the loudest of them all.

Or maybe it's because I'm sitting right next to her, I can't tell.

"Okay, now our last group is Kagome and her boys playing long way to happy by Pink!"

Miroku, Sesshomaru, Jakotsu, and Bankotsu all ran to the stage, Miroku threw Kagome a microphone.

Standing up she walked over to an empty table that was set out in the middle of the cafeteria, carefully she climbed on top of it making sure that she wasn't going to fall before standing.

"If you're a woman then put your hand up, please."

"Okay, good. Now look around the room" I scanned the Cafeteria, everyone in the school was packed in here, since no one dares to miss a lunch time performance. Hundreds of hands were up.

"Do you know that on average one of three women worldwide are victims of abuse. Whether it is sexual, emotional, physical, or any other form there is. That average says that one out of every three girls with their hands up will be abused in some way during their lifetime and that's just the women in this room, a small number that adds on to the billion that are abused each year..."

One night to you
Lasted six weeks for me
Just a bitter little pill now
Just to try to go to sleep
No more waking up to innocence
Say hello to hesitance
To everyone I meet
Thanks to you years ago
I guess I'll never know
What love means to me but oh
I'll keep on rolling down this road
But I've got a bad, bad feeling

It's gonna take a long time to love
It's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to
Keep on rolling like a stone
Cause it's gonna be a long long way to happy

Left my childhood behind
In a roll away bed
Everything was so damn simple
Now I'm losing my head
Trying to cover up the damage
And pad out all the bruises
Do you know I had it
So it didn't hurt to lose it
Didn't hurt to lose it
No but oh
I'll keep on rolling down this road
But I've got a bad, bad feeling

It's gonna take a long time to love
It's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to
Keep on rolling like a stone
Cause it's gonna be a long long way

Now I'm numb as hell and I can't feel a thing
But don't worry about regret or guilt cause I never knew your name
I just want to thank you
Thank you
From the bottom of my heart
For all the sleepless nights
And for tearing me apart yeah yeah

It's gonna take a long time to love
It's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to
Keep on rolling like a stone
Cause it's gonna be a long long way

It's gonna take a long time to love
It's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long, long, long, long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to
Keep on rolling like a stone
Cause it's gonna be a long long way to happy

The room was silent as the song came to an end, ages seemed to pass before everyone broke out into applause, whistling, screaming, you name it they did it all.

I was the quietest one of all, sitting there, silent in the crowd.

Kagome's Pov

So this is a small part of what it's like to be famous? To be standing before hundreds of people as they cheer for you, screaming your name, screaming for more, that sort of thing. The sudden rush of energy that seemed to be radiating from everyone was overwhelming, I wanted to jump, scream, and run until I couldn't move anymore. It made me want to get going and do something productive.

I never understood how bands had so much energy when they perform, but now I know that they get their energy from the crowd, they absorb it to keep going.

"Kagome, that was amazing!" Sango jumped on me almost knowing us off the table I seemed to be glued to in some funny way.

"That was simply amazing I expect great things from you guys!" The words seemed to go in one ear and out the other. The music teacher must have overdosed on happy pills or something.

After a while everything died down, I was back in my school uniform, and lunch went on as usual. Inuyasha was quiet I guess I can't blame him. I practically bit his head off, but he was asking for it.

"Come on mute man, we need to get going" I muttered tugging on the collar of his shirt.

He looked at me, raising a brow in question, I rolled me eyes, seriously is he that stupid?

"Fine, if you want to miss P.E. again feel free I'll just inform the teacher of your absence. Save you the trouble."

"I know what you were talking about, but where did mute man come from?"

"Hey, it's better than what I call your brother"

The chatter at our table died on the spot, if it wasn't for the fact that we were in a cafeteria you probably could have heard crickets chirping.

Sesshomaru seemed unfazed by my comment and everyone's gaze. Seriously, I would have lost it by now, with everyone staring at me like I had two heads. Yeah, I would be pissed.

Nosy little fuckers they all are would be my train of thought too.

"What do you call Sesshomaru?" Rin asked, breaking the silence.

OO Rin's interested?

"I'll tell you later" I grinned, sadly Sesshomaru still refused to give us any kind of reaction.

Oh well, I should know better by now.

"Come on Kagome" Inuyasha grabbed my arm pulling me away I forcefully freed myself from his grasp.

"What you can tug on me but I can't tug on you, that isn't fair."

"Listen boy, I'm not one to be dragged around, if you wish to keep your hands then keep them to yourself."

"Oh, so now you're threatening me?"

"I'm a no contact person."

"I seem to be the only one you have a problem with Kagome… we could be friends yah know."

I didn't say anything as Inuyasha walked off towards the gym, "you're not the only one Inuyasha" I whispered before following. He didn't seem to hear me, but I guess it doesn't really matter.


"Hachi I asked for 50 good pushups, is that really asking too much?" The gym teacher Mr. Hiten yelled in frustration for what seemed to be the millionth time. Seriously, yelling isn't going to get him any results. Not everyone is physically fit to do 50 pushups. It's the second day of P.E. for crying out loud! Someone needs to give Mr. Hiten a chill pill.

"I'll do them for him, Sir." Everyone stopped what they were doing. Why does that happen whenever I say something? Seriously!

"Higurashi, come here." Happily getting up from the bleachers I ran over to the raccoon demon and Mr. Hiten.

"Why, Higurashi do you want to do the rest of Hachi's pushups for him?"

Is he for real?

"The guy can hardly pick himself up off the ground, his arms are practically Jell-O, come on Sir I've sat more than I've done anything else in this class it would be nice to know that I'm doing something. Besides, no matter how much you yell at him and tell him he's going to fail it's obvious that you're not getting another pushup out of him."

"Hachi report to Higurashi's spot on the bleachers"

I don't think I've seen him move so fast. It took him about a second to reach the bleachers.

"Okay Higurashi, 25 pushups and then report to Takashi's team."

I froze at his words, "Is there a problem Higurashi?"

"No sir" I muttered, except for the fact that Inuyasha isn't all that happy with me right now. I'm really not looking forward to receiving a basketball in the face.

Not wanting to be questioned further I began doing pushups, "those are very good Higurashi."

Nodding I continued deciding that it was best not to say anything.

"Very good Higurashi now you can report to Takashi."

Sighing I jogged to the other side of the gym. No use arguing.

"Good we got someone else, you're in Kags"

I raised a brow, wondering where Kags came from.

"You got to make things fair"

Yeah, Yeah I get it mute man.


"Hey Kagome can I talk to you for a second" Great, today went from shit to ok and now it's turning to shit again.

Slowly, and painfully turning around I looked up at Hojo. "Can you make this quick, I don't want to be late for class."

"Well… I was wondering if you wanted to catch a movie with me tonight."

Is he really stupid enough to be asking me out?

"As in a date?"

"Well… yeah."

Okay something's seriously wrong with his brain.

"Sorry but I have plans tonight, besides stranger danger."

"But Kagome"

"No Hojo now leave me alone."

Can someone please tell me what the hell is wrong with all of the guys in this school! Honestly, they're grabby, annoying, persistent bastards.

But they're okay, well some of them at least.

How the hell does that work?

Whatever, I don't care, why should I?

"Kagome, can you please take a seat."

"Oh, sorry"

I didn't even notice that I was in class, let along just standing there.

"Okay now please open to page 15 in your books. I want you to read the first two chapters, tomorrow I want a page summary for each chapter, and the questions at the end of each chapter answered."

Lovely, the second day of school and they're already shoving work down our throats. Oh well.

Class passed by in a blur, the only sound in the room was the sound of pages being turned. Nothing really special or exciting…


"Kagome, we're all here now so please tell us why you were practically late for school and acting weird all day."

Wow, and I was expecting Sango to be the first one to question me, not Rin.

"Well… I was really going to show you."

They all stared at me, confused. Sighing I pulled a pink piece of paper out of my pocket. Unfolding it carefully I slid it across the coffee table so that each of them could see it.

Sango was the first one to grab it, "Kagome… this is a purification permission slip form a judge." She whispered in shock.

"I know. Myoga dropped it off right before I left for school"

Kagura grabbed the paper from Sango, reading it carefully.

"Rape" was all she said before passing it on.

"That's only one." I pulled five more identical papers from my pocket, unfolding them and handing them to my friends.

"I purified them before the judge gave me permission, that's the problem. I purified them last night."

"Wait, Kaggy, how did you know what was"

"Myoga" Ayame said, cutting Kanna off, "is Kagome's personal family detective. He can only take on cases that involve a Higurashi."


So um yeah, that's what I have. Not much, like I said I was frustrated because I had to rewrite everything.
