A.N. I figure the story is coming along a little better. I'm not sure just yet, but hey! I'm only halfway through it. So read on! You might like it the more I write!

Kagome sighed,

"Kagome are you listening to me?" said the professor snapping a finger in her face.

"Oh, sorry what?" she asked pulling out of her daze.

"I was saying I want you and Mr. Taisho to do a 15 page report on the Sengoku Jidai due in 2 weeks, also to have a power point presentation prepared with pictures, cultural music, and if possible to dress up like people from the era. I figured with you two knowing a lot about Japan a lot, being natives, this would be fun to reconnect with your home again," poor prof. Edwards didn't know what he was doing to the two young people in front of him, but he knew their presentation would be great. Many things affiliated with Sengoku Jidai is a myth on it's own, why nobody better but natives could do things right.

"When do we start the project?" Kagome asked looking at her watch.

"Today, if possible," Edwards said, "you are allowed to leave class early, or you can stay here until the end of the hour and brainstorm."

"We'll stay," Kagome said answering for InuYasha, "we can think up things we can put in the presentation."

"Wonderful," the man said before walking over to a pair who were having trouble.

Looking at InuYasha, Kagome was fuming. "Why didn't you tell me we had a class together? Or even that you are here at my school? And you definitely could've told me we were working together. Edwards said you already knew!"

"I'm sorry Kagome," InuYasha said, "it slipped my mind."

"Slipped your mind!" she almost screamed as they walked to a couple of desks, "how can this slip your mind? WE LIVED THROUGH THE DAMN THING! SOMEONE IS GOING TO NOTICE THAT TWO OF THE BIGGEST MYTHS ARE SITTING IN THEIR CLASS! ESPECIALLY THAT WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO USE THE PORTRAIT!"

"Why would we need to use the portrait?" InuYasha asked.

"Because, he will be checking out work, and that portrait is a big part of Japanese mythology. They know who you are in it, that itself is going to be hard to explain your name being the same, and then the fact that your identical. And then the fact that last year I had to lie about the portrait when it was brought up in history," Kagome explained to him as calmly as possible.

InuYasha nodded, "so we'll just say some shit about us being descendants and what not. They'll buy it"

"They better," Kagome said before pulling out a piece of paper from her bag, "Now where do we start? With the jewel?"

"Of course," InuYasha said, "just like us, it's a big part of mythology."

Kagome smiled and started writing.

At the end of class, Kagome and InuYasha had a entire diagram of the power point drawn out along with a web and outline of the essay. All that needed to be done was a little research on Midoriko, the woman the jewel came from, and some searching of the portraits online to put in the presentation. They also decided that InuYasha would wear his old robe of the fire rat and bring the Tetusiga along. Kagome had a kimono and hairoi somewhere that matched that of the one Kikyo and Kaede wore. They would use that in the presentation, and Kagome would bring her bow, a quiver of arrow's and a target to demonstrate how priestesses who didn't use swords used the bow and arrow along with their energy to defeat their foes.

"So Kagome," InuYasha said when they stood up, "wanna go get some coffee and then back to my place to work on the rest of this project?"

"No," she said matter of factly, "I have another project I'm working on with a boy from my psychology class. And I still have the stupid 'English learning' to go to. Maybe tomorrow."

"Alright," InuYasha said walking out of the room with Kagome. "Kagome why didn't you tell me Kouga was still alive?"

"He's not why?"

"Well that sure as hell looks like him coming towards us, and it smells like him too," InuYasha said with a look of pure hate on his face, much similar to the one he used to wear back when he would battle Kouga for Kagome.

"It's not him," Kagome said laughing and waving at the other man. "It's his descendant, or reincarnation. I've yet to figure it out. Be nice!" she scolded when she heard the growl coming from InuYasha's throat.

"Why should I?" he asked.

"Because Sasha is coming up to you right now, and I have somewhere to be with James," Kagome spat before walking to James with a huge grin on her face.
