The alarm blared and her hand shot out from the warmth beneath the covers to quickly turn it off. Day one down, day two just beginning. She pushed the blanket off of herself and stretched before sliding on her slippers and standing up. Mondays and Wednesdays were her hard days, Tuesdays and Thursdays she only had two classes though. With that thought she smiled and went to use the toilet before heading downstairs. Sango, as usual, was already downstairs. But instead of what she usually wore she was in her combat gear.

Sango's family owned a small dojo that did very well within the community. It was quite profitable and her Father had slated her to be next in charge, thus the bothersome business classes. But, Sango did love martial arts. Her dojo taught all kinds, and she was planning on expanding the business once she took control. Her Father had even already purchased more land next to the existing dojo so that they could expand the business. The Sensei's here let Sango wear her rather unusual combat gear because of this very purpose. She just couldn't feel nearly as comfortable in anything else. She wore a tight black body-suit with purple patches of armor that covered her shoulders, breast area, and pelvic area. It actually looked very good on her.

"I see you have martial art classes today."

Sango nodded as she shoveled down a piece of toast. "I have 'Level 3 Ninjutsu' and 'Level 2 Swordsmanship'! I'm really looking forward to it. Meet you for a late lunch before I head off to my third class of the day?"

Kagome nodded at her as she made herself some toast. When it popped out of the toaster she gently buttered it and sprinkled cinnamon-sugar on top. "Yum."

"I have to go or else I'll be late!" Sango ran out of the apartment, hurrying off to class. The Sensei did NOT approve of being late.

Kagome glanced at the clock. She still had an hour before she had to leave. She finished the toast and cleaned up the dishes. Then she hoped in the shower and got ready for the day. Taking extra care to make her hair look nice just in case she saw Inuyasha again. Last night when Sango returned home they made dinner and then did homework for two hours. She was happy to say she had almost finished everything that was assigned on Monday. Glancing at the clock again she still had twenty minutes before she had to leave so she popped open a book assigned for her 'Edo Literature' class. She managed to finish another chapter before she had to leave.

She grabbed her supplies and dashed out the door. It was another nice day. The sun beat down on her skin and she smiled at the warmth as she walked across the courtyard before heading into the building and into 'Japan: 1800 - 1900'. She loved history. It should be a good class.

She slid into a seat in the second row. It wasn't a very large class, about the same amount that had been in the tea class. These higher level class sure did have a lot less people than the lower level ones. She opened her notebook and took out her pencil as the Professor welcomed the class.

Just as the Professor was beginning someone walked in late. Kagome didn't look up, she just kept focusing on the lecture. This Professor was diving right in! Whoever was late slid into the seat next to her (the only one left open) and gently reached out his hand and tapped her arm, breaking her trance.

Kagome looked up and froze. It was Inuyasha. He jumped a little too when she turned to face him before quickly regaining his composure.

"Could I borrow some paper and a pencil? I forgot mine." He whispered softly. She couldn't explain it, but his voice made her melt.

It took her a minute to register what he asked. "Yea, um, sure. Here you go." She reached into her back and pulled out a few sheets of loose-leaf paper for him and a spar pencil.

"Thanks." He smiled a wonderfully crooked smile before he turned to look at the Professor.

The entire class Kagome could hardly concentrate. Her nerves were on edge. He was so close! She tried to focus. To think about Koga. To think about the lesson. But most of it went over her head. She would really have to study the textbook carefully to make up for what she was definitely missing from lecture. She just couldn't believe it. He was in a second class with her. She had never seen him (or maybe never noticed him) before yet now he was in two of her classes! The only explanation she could think of was before this year her classes were held in huge lecture halls. It was only now, in her Senior year, that the class size was rounded down. The Professor finished up the class by handing out the syllabi, homework, and promising a small quiz every Tuesday.

She stood up and so did he. He looked down at her and she smiled as he handed her the pencil and the few pieces of paper he didn't use. She placed them in her bag and he walked out of the class with her.

"I'm Inuyasha."

"Huh?" She snapped to. She had been in a bit of a daze. What had he said?

He laughed. "That's my name. Inuyasha. Thanks for the stuff, well, you kind of owed me after the ear incident." He smirked down at her and she couldn't help but blush.

"Yea, um, sorry about that."

He shrugged his shoulders. "It happens."

They were just walking out into the courtyard when he stopped.

"You still haven't told me your name."

Kagome's eyes shot up to his. "Ka-go-me. My name is Kagome."

"Nice to meet you Kagome." He smiled at her and shoved his arms into his jacket pockets and began to walk away. "See you tomorrow Ka-go-me!" He didn't turn around but stuck his hand up in the air and waved back at her.

Kagome stood there for a minute and placed her hand to her heart. It was beating so fast. Why? Why was she feeling like this? She put her hand down and turned to walk towards the food court to do some studying and meet Sango for a quick but late lunch. Glancing at the time on her phone she still had an hour and a half before Sango got there. She would have to eat on her own and just sit with Sango for a few minutes when she got her so that Kagome could get to class in time.

She bought herself a sandwich and set to work going over everything she missed in lecture. She had only just finished going over what was taught today when Sango showed up.

"You know you only have a half-hour before your next class."

Kagome looked up at her and put her books away. "Yea I know. But, I figured I would sit here with you for a few minutes before heading off. How was your classes?"

"Well," Sango blushed. "Ninjutsu and Swordsmanship went fine." Sango turned her head away from Kagome as she ate.

"What happened? Oh come on Sango your blushing!"

Sango just kept eating her food.

Then Kagome realized. "You found a hot guy didn't you!"

Sango looked at Kagome with an embarrassed look.

"He was in both of them. I think I saw him before in some other Martial Arts classes but the Sensei paired me with him. In BOTH classes."

"Well, tell me about him!" Kagome couldn't believe it. Sango had a crush! She had only been on a few dates all throughout University and they never led anywhere. Most men were intimidated by her. Her mental and physical strength scared them off.

"He has violet eyes and his black hair is tied back in a small ponytail. He is talented. Very talented, especially in Swordsmanship. He is a bit of a flirt though…" Sango glanced away when she said that, preferring to look out the window and into the courtyard. "He flirting with every girl there. But he was sweet to me. Flirtatious, but respectful. I think he knew I could really hurt him if he tried to touch my bottom like the other girls…"

Kagome giggled at Sango. "Maybe he thinks your special, maybe he has a bit of a crush on you too."

At that Sango's blushed deepened.

"Well, I've got to head to 'Anthropology of Religion'. I'll see you at home tonight!" Kagome waved goodbye and hurried off to classes, only just making it in time.

The class was uneventful. The teacher didn't dive right into lecture and let them have an easy day, even letting them out twenty minutes early. Kagome walked down to the courtyard and found the same tree from the day before, sat down and leaned against it, and started studying. She had managed to finish the reading for 'Edo Literature' and type up the homework for 'Japan: 1800 - 1900' when she realized a little over an hour had already gone by.

"Hey, Kagome!"

"Oh, hey Sango." Kagome stood up and swiped the dirt off of herself.

"I thought you would have went home already."

"I was going to but class got out early and I thought I'd get some homework done."

"Oh, I see. Let's go then."

They walked home together. Kagome kept a sharp eye out for Inuyasha but she didn't see him again. They made it home and sat and did homework for a while before making something to eat. It had been a long day for Sango and she looked exhausted. Kagome ushered her up to bed before she stepped out onto the upstairs balcony. She breathed in the night air and took a seat in one of the two small chairs before taking out her phone.

Kagome: {Hey Koga! Day two down. Classes went well. Love you!}

Koga: {Hey gorgeous. Glad it went well, tough day here. Had to put down two dogs with rabies. Wish you were here.}

Koga: {I can't wait to see you next weekend! Sorry I can't come this one.}

Kagome couldn't help but smile down at her phone. Koga really was sweet. An image of two adorable dog ears popped into her head and she tried to promptly squash it with an image of Koga's loving face. It didn't really work.

Kagome: {I can't wait either. Where should we go to eat?}

Koga: {I was thinking Kozue. At 8. I already made reservations.}

Kagome gasped. Kozue. That was a romantic spot. Very high-end. On a clear day you could see Mount Fuji. They would be going at night but still. It was a beautiful contemporary Japanese restaurant that she had always wanted to try. If he was bringing her there… If he, her boyfriend of three years, was bringing her there it could only mean one thing…

Koga: {Kagome? You there? Is that ok?}

Kagome gulped and stared down at her phone.

He was going to propose to her.

Kagome: {Yea, sorry. Getting ready for bed. Sounds great! Night, love.}

Koga: {Goodnight sweetheart}

Kagome sat frozen for what seemed like ages before standing up and walking into her bedroom and changing into pajamas and flopping into bed. She pulled the covers tight up around her and stared into the dark. He was going to propose and for some reason she wasn't very excited about it. She felt nervous. She felt scared. Worst of all, she wasn't so sure she wanted to say yes.
