OKay chapter two.
Note/Disclaimer: I still don't own these characters. I just order them around like puppets.
Anyway I just thought that I should say: "It doesn't hurt to leave a comment/review. I would really like to know what you think of this story and if there is something you would like to change. PLEASE!! All reviews are welcome. And thank you to the one person that did leave a reply."
Now on with the story.
Walking into the house I took off my soaking sneakers and placed them right by the door. Souta did the same. He headed upstairs while I went into the kitchen to finish dinner.
Opening the fridge I took out yesterdays beef and vegetables. I don't really like leftovers, but they would have to do. I heated up the beef and vegetables in one pan. And let it simmer under low heat before I went upstairs myself.
My room was dark so I lifted my hand to turn on the light. It was almost like a second nature to me. The bottoms of my jeans were leaving a wet trial behind me. I quickly pulled them off and stood in the middle of my room in my hoodie and underwear. It was cold. I went over to my closet and looked for some pants, deciding against it and putting on my pajamas instead.
The purple Hello Kitty tang top was a little bit faded and the bottoms were gray from the hundreds of trips to the washing machine. Yawning I turned off the light and turned on the lamp by my bed. I realized my book bag was still by the front door downstairs. Sighing I walked out of my room and down the stairs to get it.
It was a little heavier than I remembered it being. Back in my room I placed the bag on my bed. At the same moment I zipped my bag open the power went out.
"UGHHHH!"
I could hear Soutas cry of annoyance through the thin wall separating our rooms. I was frustrated too. I had a term paper due, and an essay for history. Before I could even finish that thought Souta banged on my door, giving it no mercy.
"Yes, Souta?"
I said while opening my book bag to pull out and turn my cell phone on. I could faintly see the outline of Soutas body by the frame of my door. Even though he wouldn't say it out loud I knew that he was scared. At that exact moment my cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Kagome, I won't be coming home. They need me at the hospital. People keep flooding in. It's unbelievable. Why didn't you pick up the house phone?"
"Oh. Okay. The power went out, I guess the home phone isn't working. Hey how do you use the generator in the basement?"
"I see. Go to the basement"
I left my room with Souta swiftly following my trail. When the electricity was finally turned on I went to the kitchen and let out a sigh of relief. The stove ran on gas instead of electricity, the food was still warm.
After dinner I cleaned up and went to the den to type up my homework. When all was said and done I signed onto aim. No one was on. Not that it mattered even if people were on its not like I would've IMed them. Instead I went and updated my blog.
'Entry for September 13 2008:
Today was okay nothing new, as usual. No pictures for today maybe next time.'
I hadn't finished typing when I noticed a new message in my inbox.
"Dogdemon666 want to be your buddy.
Accept or Decline"
I clicked on Dogdemon666s user and went to his page.
"Name: Inuyasha Tashio

Today was BORING. Kouga fell asleep in Ms. Nakanishi's class (uploaded a pic) and I got detention for talking back. Nothing new. Can't wait for this Saturday: Going to Flobots concert with Kouga and Miroku.
Miroku grabbed girls assess during lunch, 'friggin funny. (Posted some pics)
But right now the powers out and no one's on. Bored as hell. More tomorrow.'
I didn't know whether to accept his request or not. He has 53 buddies, and I only have one: Sango.
I opted to send him a private message instead.
'Do I know you?'
It was a complete lie. I know who he is, everyone knows who he is, but I couldn't think of what to type.
I clicked send. And two seconds later I had a reply.
'Remember me? The guy from the park… "It's a free world"…'
I was dumbfounded. What do I say to that? I don't want to take the chance and add him. I don't need any more friends. So before I can change my mind I type:
'Yeah… not interested.'
I close the web page and check my email. When an IM pops on the screen. It's from an unknown screen name. I click show hidden IM(s).
DogDemonInu666 9:58 Pm: I'm hurt don't you want to be my buddy?
KagomeChanx3 10:00 Pm: Like I said, " Do I know you"
DogDemonInu666 10:01 Pm: Yeah you do. You're just bluffing. I'll come up too you in school if you want.
I almost screamed my answer aloud. I do NOT want to talk to him. If I were to keep being invisible having him talk to me would COMPLETELY blow my cover.
KagomeChanx3 10:05 Pm: No, it's okay. You don't need to. How do you have my SN?
DogDemonInu666 10:06 Pm: Hey, you're getting off topic. I have my ways. It says so on your blog page.
DogDemonInu666 10:06 Pm: So are you going to add me?
KagomeChanx3 10:07 Pm: Yeah sure whatever. I'll add you tomorrow. Goodnight.
And I signed off without another thought.
The computer shutdown and I turned off the lights to the den. Already really sleepy I walked up to my room and went straight to bed. I didn't even analyze the conversation with Inuyasha; as far as I'm concerned it didn't even happen.
I woke up the next morning with an icky taste in my mouth. I forgot to brush my teeth last night. And my eyes were glued shut. I had been crying in my sleep again. With the greatest effort I opened my eyes and the light illuminating from the windows instantly blinded me. I rolled over and hid my face in the pillow. I lifted my head to check the time. The red numbers were a haze for a second and then my eyes were able to read them.
"OH MY GOD!!"
I quickly got out of bed and ran into the bathroom. I was going to be late for school. I took a quick shower and when I was done I raced to Soutas room wrapped in a towel to wake him up.
"SOUTA GET UP!! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE"
With my hair dripping on the floor I dashed into my room to change into my only clean pair of sweats and a hoodie I wore last week. I was supposed to do laundry last night!
Grabbing my book bag off the floor and cell phone off my nightstand I left my room only to return again to retrieve my I-pod.
I met Souta by the front steps. With my key in hand I locked the door and slid into the car. With my bag on the passenger side of the car I checked the time on my cell phone.
"OH MY GOD!!"
"What?! Stop yelling!"
" It's 11:48… I just missed 3 periods. Oh my God..."
" Start driving before you make me any later"
I shoved the keys into the ignition and kicked the car into reverse then drive and drove at exactly the speed limit. Again I parked in front of the school. This time I did not take time to pause and look at the classrooms. Souta went off to class and I went to the office to explain why Souta was so late.
"Yes, but please do make sure he is not late again. At this school we take attendance seriously…."
On and on I was late for my own classes too! I was about to tell her so shut the hell up when the principle walked in.
"Ms. Brown I think that's enough you may leave."
THANK THE LORD!!
" Thank you"
I ran out of there so fast I nearly fell face forward on the steps.
"American women, really"
I muttered to myself. Utterly frustrated that I was now even later than I thought I would've been. Was there any point in going to school anymore?
When I finally got inside my car to start driving it wouldn't start. It made this putter putter sound and then nothing. It was already 12:30 Pm! On my fourth try the car started and I stepped on the gas pedal and drove at 45 mph until I reached the highway, which I drove at 70 miles.
When I finally made it to the school parking lot it wasn't soon enough. Sighing I placed my bag over my shoulder and walked to the main office. Guess I'm skipping lunch.
My time in the office wasn't as long as the lecture at Soutas elementary school. I walked out of the office and crossed the hallway to a staircase, which went up two flights. Upon reaching the second floor I walked toward my left and through the wide double doors. Then the bell rang.
"Oh well."
Sighing I walked toward my fifth period class. Art was my best subject. It was Sanogs too. Last year we did portraits of each other in retrospect. And they turned out great. Mine even went as far as the citywide competition.
I walked into the classroom and sat in my usual seat: in the fourth seat of the last row, right by the windows. Today is very sunny so I use my hair as a shade from the suns gleaming rays.
The late bell rang and everyone was seated.
" We're starting a major project. Each of you will work in groups of two: one boy the other a girl. Both of you will work on one artwork together. It can be a charcoal of a section of the face, or a sketch and ink of a portion of the face. You will have a week and a half to finish it. Both of you must work together. A huge portion of your grade depends on this project."
People started whispering whom they wanted to want to work with. This class had an odd number of students and I would just have to work alone, not that I minded.
"You will not be choosing you partners. I have taken the liberty of picking them for you."
Today was horrible it couldn't get any worse.
"Please don't let me get a partner, please don't, please don't"
I whispered to God. Clearly he wasn't listening. And my day got even worse.
" Misaki and Yori, Rika and Daisuske, Miroku and Kagome"
Okay tell me what you think!! No hard feelings if you don't like the story. If you hate it tell me that too. And if you think I need to fix something: a word, sentence, paragraph. ANYTHING. Tell me. Thanks
