Chapter 12

"So your homework for tonight is an essay on Ancient Japan. You can use any sources but the Internet. This report is due Thursday." Said the teacher," You can go now." As all the students left the class, they yawned.

"That… was so boring." Inuyasha said, "And what's with the lame assignment? I can't finish it but Thursday."

"Inuyasha start the report today, not Wednesday." Sango offered, "Hey, are you guys going to the library to get books on Ancient Japan?"

"Yeah we are," Kagome said. He nodded.

They were entering the library, when the noticed it was practically deserted, like most Mondays. They searched for books on Ancient Japan. By the end of their time in the library they had 23 books in total. It took them longer to get home then to get to the library. When the got home it was after six p.m.

"We're home," Inuyasha announced. Nothing came but a cat from upstairs.

"Hey Miyake," Kagome said. They went into the kitchen and placed the books and bags on the table. There was a note on the counter. It said:

"Hey! We went to dentist and doctors. We'll be back around eight or nine. Don't do much. Wink

Rin

PS The dinner is in the refrigerator." Kagome read out loud.

"Okay let's eat and then start on the homework," Kagome popped the dinner into the microwave as Inuyasha set up the table.

"Did Rin mean what I think she meant?" Kagome said

"You're bad at lying. You know exactly what she meant." Inuyasha said, "And we still can."

A few moments later, Kagome spoke, "I still can't believe Miroku left Sango. How could he leave her? She loves him and he loves her. Why did he go?"

"It's odd. He left the only girl that liked him." Inuyasha said, "Do you know our homework by any chance?"

"History essay. Reading for half an hour. Pages 213 to 215, odds for math. And the science lab report due on Wednesday," Kagome said clearing the table.

They grabbed their stuff, headed towards Inuyasha's room, and studied on the floor. Kagome and Inuyasha both started on science. After half an hour Kagome finished her lab report and started on math. As for Inuyasha he completed a like more than half of the report, and went on to math. By half past seven, Kagome finished everything but history. While Inuyasha was stuck on the evil subject of math!

"Do you need help?" She asked

"Obvious. I can't get this trigonometry," Inuyasha said

"Okay, if you're that desperate for it," Kagome said

"Desperate for what exactly?" Sesshomaru said as he and Rin entered the room

"Help in math," Kagome said

"Are you finished yet?" Rin asked

"Are you crazy?" Inuyasha said

"Do you guys need help, I'm done," Rin said

"Are you joking? This is taking forever." Kagome said

"I finished before six p.m. so I wouldn't have to worry." She giggled, "We'll leave so you can finish."

They left. An hour past very quickly. Kagome finished one page and a half of the history essay and Inuyasha completed one page with single spaces. They came down stairs and relaxed freely.

"Idiotic work," Kagome said, she was lying down on the carpet beside Rin. Her eyes were starting to close. Then she flung her eyes and screamed.

"We have a math unit test tomorrow in the morning! It's like 55 percent of our final mark!" Kagome shouted

"You tell me this NOW?" Inuyasha demanded

The two ran back upstairs and studied until they were asleep. Kagome was lying on top of Inuyasha, with one hand on his chest and the other with a book. Inuyasha was, as usual, sleeping in a position that was protecting Kagome. In one hand was a book and the other was wrapped around Kagome.

In the morning…

"Yawn," The girl stretched her arms out, not noticing that she hit a boy with a book.

"Hey, I'm trying to sleep here," He said

"What time…it's 10 in the morning. Our test starts in half an hour!" The girl yelled, "Get up Inuyasha… NOW!"

They got up, washed their faces, brushed their teeth, took showers (separately), packed their bags, got dressed and headed down stairs for breakfast, in less than half an hour. Inuyasha popped breakfast in the toaster as Kagome opened all the windows on the first floor and kitchen door. The toast jumped up and Inuyasha took them and handed one to Kagome.

"We need to run," Inuyasha said

"Let's take my car. Quick!" Kagome opened her house garage and the black Lexus.

"Put on your seat belts," She said

"No need just go," Inuyasha said, as Kagome stepped on the gas, leaving behind nothing but black tire marks and dust. She was going 80 km/h and the speed kept rising.

"Ugh… Kagome slow down. Don't need to kill us." Inuyasha swallowed hard

"Inuyasha… we're here." Kagome breaked on the pedal so hard, Inuyasha had his face against the dashboard. They raced out of the car and into the school. They slammed the class room door wide open.

"We're here," They shouted catching their breaths, accidentally holding the other person's hand.

"Well, how nice of you to finally come to class. But the test has started already. You'll start your test after school. You can head down to the principle's office until lunch and explain why you were more than two hours later for school. Unless… you have something to say?" Mrs. Mirashi said. She was the rudest heartless teacher in the school.

"No," They said in unison. Just as they were about to leave…

"And mind you, keep your hands to yourselves while you're at school," Mrs. Mirashi said

Kagome and Inuyasha looked at their hands and immediately dropped them and headed down to the principle's office.

"Great, another report to do," Inuyasha said

"Just write the reason," Kagome said taking a seat beside Inuyasha

"Yeah okay, let's see… I was late for school because I was up late studying for a math unit test. And it so happens that I woke up at 10 am and the love of my life was on top of me sleeping. Yes Kagome, that would be an A graded answer," Inuyasha said sarcastically, Kagome kissed him lightly.

"What was that for?" Inuyasha asked

"Nothing," Kagome smirked

"I need for you to translate "nothing" form girl to English," Inuyasha sneered. Kagome nudged him

"Don't you know what you just said." Kagome said, " The love of your life."

"What… did I really say that?" Inuyasha asked, as Kagome nodded. Someone came in and took a seat next to Inuyasha.

"Why are you here?" Inuyasha asked

"I was caught reading during the test." Rin said

"What were you reading?" Kagome asked

"This," Rin showed them the book. It was a manga. "This is the best ever. It is called Ceres: Celestial Legend. I've read the eighth volume already and am reading the first. I need to read all of them or I'll go mad!"

"I think you already completed that," Inuyasha said causing Rin to nudge him.

"It's so romantic, sweet, suspenseful and so much more. Do you wanna read it?" Rin continued to praise the book.

"I guess so, but let me finish this first," Kagome shrugged

"This is volume eight. I only finished it in class. I'm the first and I can't stop reading it," Rin continued

"Okay, I'll read it," Kagome said and began to read the book. During parts of the book, Kagome would grab Inuyasha and let go she even shred a few tears.

The Bell Rang

"I can't believe it's that good. And who is Ceres? I mean is it Aya or Mikori? And is Toya going to remember Aya? Is Aya pregnant? What's going to happen?" Kagome panicked

"Rin, look what you've done. Now Kagome starting to act like you. You know crazy," Inuyasha said

"Here Kagome, I don't need it right now," Rin said handing Kagome the first volume.

"Why are you all here?" said the secretary, emerging from the principle's office with the principal behind.

"Well we came late, and Mrs. Mirashi told us to stay until lunch." Kagome said, "Well me and Inuyasha at least."

"And I was reading during a test," Rin said soundly ashamed at the same time as not.

"Okay then," The principal left as well as the secretary.

"What's with the principal?" Inuyasha asked shocked he had no extra assignments

"Dunno, maybe it has something to do with DDR," Rin said

" I forgot about it completely." Kagome said, "And isn't it DC, dance competition?"

"Yeah, but I think DDR is funnier," Rin said

Inuyasha said, "but wasn't it postponed to the end of the year?"

Kagome nodded

Ding- ding

"Crap I still need to finish the damn reason," Inuyasha growled

"Write the truth. But skip the part in the morning. Okay?" Kagome cheerfully. Two minutes later and Mrs. Mirashi came in. She found Inuyasha writing, Kagome reading and Rin talking.

"Give me those," She said. Kagome and Inuyasha handed her the papers and she read then briefly. "All right, you can go. But remember the math test," They both got out of there quickly.

"And you! Are suspended for the next day Rin."

"What?" Rin asked

"You can not enter the school grounds for any reason," Mrs. Mirashi said

"But all I did was a read a book. Why should I get suspended for that?" Rin asked

"To teach you discipline and as well that this school has good reputation. And if you ever make it to college, and you pull something like this, the whole school will have to pay for your stupidity."

"I… I …I won't stand here and be insulted by you. You have no right of saying that." Rin said. She was on the verge of losing her temper. She started to leave but Mrs. Mirashi took her arm, and Rin couldn't hold it anymore and let it out. Her aura was so strong that it became a barrier. The energy shield grew so strong it pushed Mrs. Mirashi against the wall.

"Sorry, but don't you ever do that again!" Rin shouted and left.

Ding- ding

An hour passed since the last incident. And it was already class time. All of the students in Mr. Okra's and Ms. Malit's class had dance.

"Where's Rin?" Sesshomaru said

"We were actually going to ask you that," Inuyasha said

"We can't find her anywhere," Kagome said

4pm

"Okay, that's it. No more time," said Mrs. Mirashi as Kagome and Inuyasha handed their test in. "I'll just mark them and start packing," she muttered to herself

"But why?" Kagome asked obviously hearing her teacher's mumbling

"I quit. Your so called little friend Rin has some kind of deranged power that she can't control and I don't want to face it twice."

"You can go now," Mrs. Mirashi said her final words to them
