Part Four – Too Short for A Study in Death

Now Inuyasha wasn't one to cry but this incidence had made him want to… and gave him the entire rite to. Naraku was standing there, it wasn't Kabuto, and it wasn't his math teacher… Report Cards were due Saturday… life… ultimately… stopped… moving…

Now this part will be extremely short because I planned it this way. It is supposed to be a filler… this is a filler you could go without reading although it is entirely a good thing to explain.

Now after lunch was English... unto which Inuyasha was sill depressed… but had to do something… present a speech. The study was his topic alone… 'To appreciate death"

He had to find to poems with a core relation… he found one with quite an interesting topic:

"An idea doesn't have to connect in real words, letters, and sentences, but by heart. These two have a core relation at heart. When my mother read these she simply stated that they were about death. I thought beyond that, and I wondered.

"What about death? Why death? Was death after all a bad thing? Then it hit me, what if it wasn't. People act differently when someone dies, they remember him in ways forgotten, they think of him in ways unspoken. I found these poems go deeper than death, but the relationship between death and the person grieving. I went deeper, and found out one truth after another.

"Without the bad, people would not appreciate the good. My great-uncle died a few days earlier, and when I think of him I don't think of him about how he would argue with my grandfather and how he would sometimes act inappropriate, but how he would help me learn and give to charities. I learned what mourning truly was that day when eh died, as I had never experienced a close death beforehand.

"Mourning for someone lost is a way to keep them in your soul forever. And when you remember them, when you remember a dead pregnant dear in the road or when it rains, think about what used to be, the mother, and what will be, the rainbow…"

Mr. Myoga washis assignedenglish teacher... and noting that he was what some, and himself call a, andI quote, 'fat crazy bald guy,' you can only guess what he said. He was told multiple times it was a very deep subject, and that he thought he brought it out very well, because he thought the subject was very... deep, as stated before. The object however was not to create a likeness to himself, btu a likeness to everything else... everything else... so he was graded down for that.

Sorry because this is just supposed to fill space I tend to repeat myself many times.

Inuyasha'metaphorically' died on Monday when the report card came… sweat went rolling down his face as his mother opened it. Science was fine… English was fine… grace his teacher... history was excellent… Math… Inuyasha closed his eyes expectantly… but to his surprise the next thing he felt was his mother hugging him fiercely. He opened his eyes, looking at the table and saw Kabuto's grade. It was an A… but not an A… an A+…

Inuyasha could barely believe it, his grade was right there…a+… exactly like that. It was not an A… but an a. Lower case… what also struck him was a quote, labeled distinctively at the bottom of the page…

"History is little else than a picture of a human."

AN: And this is a little less than a page in typing…
