Kagome flopped down onto her bed, absolutely shattered. After the embarrassment of that stupid slip of paper, calming her friend down, explaining it to everyone and yelling at Margaret, she was so exhausted. And it was only her second day at school, too! Kagome rolled onto her side, sighing softly while her eyes were shut. She thanked the Gods she was home at last. A small cat climbed onto her bed, purring. Kagome's eyes opened slightly and she smiled at the cat, lifting her hand to stroke it behind it's ears. The cat purred even louder in response.

"Hello, Kilala." She greeted to the small, cream-coloured feline. Kilala meowed at her before licking Kagome's fingertips. Kagome giggled gently before sitting up. Kilala clambered onto her lap and lay down, flicking her fluffy tail back and forth. Kagome fondly stroked the cat, humming. Her mind drifted off to the events of today, groaning in aggravation. Honestly, that Margaret girl really grates on her nerves. Kagome hoped she and her friends wouldn't get much trouble from her or her lackey, Susan. Kagome moved a stranding of hair behind her ear before a knock came at the door. "Come in." She called. The door swung open to reveal her little brother. He walked over and sat with her on the bed.

"Hello, 'Gome-chan!" He greeted with a large smile. Kagome smiled softly.

"Hey, kiddo. How was your day?" She asked, ruffling the boy's hair. Aito laughed loudly before he started to speak.

"Well, Miss Lovely let us write stories!" Aito continued, babbling on about his day. Kagome listened, like the good elder sister she was, and conversed with him, throwing in a couple of 'no way's and 'that's amazing's. Aito looked at his sister. "So, what about your day?"

"Ah, gee whizz. Well, someone in my year did spread a rumour by taking a picture out of context. I'm just glad everything will go in a couple of days." Kagome shook her head. "Still, I feel sorry for Ralph. I mean, people thought that he was dating me." Kagome laughed, crossing her arms. "Ridiculous, right?"

"No, I think it would work." Aito confessed. Kagome quickly turned to her brother in confusion. He went on. "He's been a really good friend these couple of days and he helped you get home yesterday! I don't know about you, but I say he likes you, even if he doesn't realise it yet." Kagome blinked before smiling. She patted his head.

"You know, Aito, I'm the one whose supposed to give you advice, not the other way around." She laughed, making Aito laugh as well. The siblings enjoyed each other's company until they had to go downstairs for their dinner.

Kagome found herself lying in bed, her lamp next to her bed switched on. She stared up at the ceiling, wondering what was to come tomorrow. She thought of her newest friends ad led fondly when Ralph came to mind. That was when she quickly sat up.

"Oh dear Lord," She thought nervously. "It's only been two days! I can't believe this is happening. I'm getting a crush on Ralph already!" Kagome flopped back onto the bed, her eyes as wide as saucers. She slapped her cheek gently, shaking her head slightly. "Oh Kagome, you absolute baka."

When the very next day rolled around, Kagome tiredly trudged to school. After her realisation last night, Kagome barely got much sleep due to many things running through her head. The young girl stopped outside of the gates to wait for her friends. When Henry and Ralph finally came round, they greeted the petite female.

"Good morning, Kagome." Henry said. Kagome yawned and nodded at him.

"You look extremely tired. Are you all right?" Ralph asked, looking at the girl with concern.

"Oh, I'll be fine. I just didn't get much sleep last night. Just things going through my head." Kagome admitted, shrugging. Another yawn escaped past her lips and her eyes dropped shut as she covered her mouth. The Japanese girl still sent a rather bright but tired smile at the two boys before the trio walked into the school grounds. They made their way towards the rest of the Purple Hand Gang, who were discussing random matters. The group brought up random subjects to talk about with each other before the bell rung. The members went inside and headed to Miss Battleaxe's classroom. They sat in their seats and waited for their teacher. Someone poked Kagome in the back. She turned around only to see Margaret.

"I thought about what you said yesterday and you were right. I'm sorry." The bossy girl apologised, making Kagome's eyes widen with shock. She was rather surprised Margaret was apologising, seeing as she seemed like a really stubborn girl. Nonetheless, Kagome smiled sweetly.

"I accept your apology, Margaret. I'm glad we're on good terms now." She replied. Margaret smiled at her and Kagome turned back around when Miss Battleaxe entered the classroom to start the lesson. Ralph looked at Margaret, very surprised at what just took place in front of him. Moody Margaret? Apologising? Was the world ending or something? Was Margaret sick? Ralph narrowed his eyes at Margaret, thinking deeply.

"If she's apologising, it may be for no good." He thought, humming. "Just what are you up to, Margaret?"
