Disclamer: I do not own any of the characters portrayed in this story.

Kagome sighed and rubber her eyes.

12:26am. She needed to start on the homework she knew needed to be done… She was so bad at fractions.

Tap sounded at the door, and Kagome looked up from her study corner. "Yes?" The only light on was just over her head.

Her housemate Sango peered into the room, long hair cascading past one shoulder. "What are you still doing up? It's past midnight." Making her way into the room, Sango climbed onto Kagome's bed and stared at her.

"Are you still working on your homework?" Her question was pointless, as it was obvious that that's what Kagome was doing. She had her school books and notes everywhere.

"I feel like I have to get it done. " Kagome turned slightly in her chair, avoiding Sango's gaze as she fiddled with the touch mouse pad on her laptop.

Sango sighed and rested her head in her hand, "I think it's more like your trying to keep yourself busy so you don't have to pay attention to the fact that you're hurting."

Giving a half shrug, Kagome reached over for her liquid incense candle. It always helped her feel better, the smelling of sweet pea, "Despite the fact that is possibly true, does it matter either way as long as I get over it sooner or later?" She set the candle back down and turned towards the laptop completely.

Sango sighed as she scooted to the end of Kagome's bed.

"Hojo really wasn't someone you should waste your time hurting over, but I understand you cared for him. I'm going to bed. I'll come wake you up with some coffee bright and early, so get some sleep." Walking out of the room and shutting the door, Sango missed Kagome thanking her softly.

Tapping her pencil on the desk, Kagome stared blankly at her computer screen, not comprehending her class assignment. Looking to the side, there was a picture of herself and Hojo hugging and grinning. They had dated for the last two years, known each other since their freshman year of highschool.

Why did college split couples up? She ran her fingers through her hair and stretched. She couldn't focus anymore for the night and climbed into bed, half hoping Sango was joking about coffee as soon as she was up.

Kagome rolled over to sunlight drifting onto her, sighing, she pulled the blanket over her head in an attempt to get more sleep.

"You have some of the worst morning breath." Sango's tone was playful, but also seemed very serious.

Poking her head out from under her hiding place, Kagome glared; There Sango stood, with a big purple mug of coffee.

Kagome looked at the clock and groaned. It was only 9:30 in the morning.

"Don't stick your face so close if you don't like it." Sitting up and stretching, she accepted the hot cup of coffee eagerly. She would need it if she was going to stay awake after not getting much sleep.

"You have an hour to get ready, we need to go shopping, and it's beautiful outside this morning, "Yanking the blankets off her sleepy friend, Sango gave her a stern look, "And make yourself presentable. We're going to be in public. I don't want to see you in sweatpants and an oversized shirt when you come downstairs." She turned and left, shaking her head as she went.

Kagome, having been left alone with her coffee, sighed again.

It would be so easy to set her cup down, and fall back asleep….

Then Sango would be pissed, and guilt trip her into something even worse than shopping, she was sure of it.

Groaning, she tossed her legs out of bed, "Sango!! You're a cruel person!" Kagome yelled as she stood up, setting her half empty cup down.

Loud overdramatized laughter would be heard from down the hall, and Kagome just stared at her open bedroom door.

She always knew Sango was weird.
