(A/N) I rewrote this chapter cause I didn't like where the other one was heading, so even though at the beginning it might sound the same, just keep going because most of it is different.

Chapter 5

Dread

Kagome slumped to the ground and placed her head in her hands. What am I going to do? I can't stay like this forever, what are Mama and Grandpa going to say? She felt someone sit next to her.

"Kagome are you okay?"

It was Sango.

The remorse and concern in her voice ripped the last of Kagome's control away. She could feel the tears well up and spill over. Her whole body shook.

"Sango…what am…I…going to do?" Kagome said in between sobs.

"Shh, it'll be okay. We'll find some way around this. Besides," she said trying to look on the bright side "it's not like he won't come back." Sango looked over at Inuyasha. His face was pale, drawn with worry.

Kagome looked up, her eyebrows pinched in confusion, eyes puffy and red from crying. For the life of her she couldn't think of what Sango was talking about.

"Who?" she asked.

"Why, Koga, he-" Whatever she was about to say was cut off by a bark of laughter.

Kagome waved her hand dismissively. "I'm not crying over that. It's just that…well…I need to go to school tomorrow and…" She looked over at Inuyasha in her body with his arms crossed.

He looked at her quizzically watching her eyes travel up and down his body. She was appraising what she saw. School? He thought. First she was crying, but not about Koga as he first had thought, but school. Why would she be crying over some silly thing like that.

Miroku glanced over at Inuyasha with a smirk. Shippo looked from Kagome to him and back again.

And then it hit him, the glances, smirking, and the whispering between Kagome and Sango. They were going to make him go to school!

---

"No, no, and NO!" Inuyasha yelled pacing back and forth.

"Oh, come on Inuyasha it's only until I get my body back. I need to go, or actually you need too," she looked down at her new body. "I'm almost failing as it is, if I miss any more days they're going to kick me out." Pleaded Kagome, she needed him to go, this was vital.

"No, I already told you, no!" He walked over and got right in her face, his molten red. "No." He said flatly.

Kagome looked him right in the eye, her face hard. Fine, if he was going to be like that, then there were other ways.

She let out a huge wail and slumped back into herself. Her whole body rocked as she embraced her tears, letting it all out. There was no way Inuyasha could deny her now.

Sango tsked at Inuyasha, walking over to Kagome she gathered her in her arms. Kagome leaned into Sango's embrace and let out another heartrenching sob.

---

He watched in pure horror as Sango helped Kagome into a sitting position and start rocking her. What did he do? If he had known that she would start crying when he had said 'No' he wouldn't have said it! He absolutly hated seeing women cry, it made him feel helpless. The blood drained from his face.

Reaching out, his voice just above a whisper he stammered. "Kagome? Don't cry - I didn't know. Is it really that important to you, Kagome?"

She managed another good sob before turning to look at him. "Yes, Inuyasha, it is. You don't know how it hurts to hear you say no. I mean, if you needed me to do something I would. You know why Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha's eyes widened. "Why?" he asked.

Kagome narrowed her eyes. "Because you're my friend and that's what friends do, Inuyasha. Friends who care about each other help each other. I thought you were my friend, I guess I was wrong." said Kagome while letting out another sob at the end to emphasize her point.

Inuyasha fidgited, he didn't know what to do. Should he kneel by her? Or should he let her vent? Sheesh! He wished women wouldn't cry all the time. The only choice he had left was to pretend indifferent to the problem.

"Feh, school couldn't be that big of a problem, at least not as hard as fighting demons." Kagome jerked her head around he watched dawn light Kagome's face. Smiling from ear to ear she threw herself at him.

"Oh Inuyasha," she voiced in his ear "you don't know how pleased I am to hear you say that!"

Kagome let go of him and he soon regretted what he had said. A calculating look was plastered to Kagome's face and he didn't listen to her as she started rambling on about what he needed to do. There was only one thing that played through his head, filling him with dread from his head to his toes. 'What have I done?'
