I woke up, nearly screaming when I saw InuYasha staring at me.

"Oh my god InuYasha! Do NOT scare me like that!" I yelled, scrambling up while clutching the covers to my chest, a rather alarmed expression on my face.

InuYasha's ears pressed to his head, "Do ya have to be so loud? Sorry, you didn't get up when this thing went off, & I couldn't go back to sleep, I decided to wait until you woke up." He explained, his ears still pressed flat against his head.

"What thing?" I asked, looking for my clock.

He held it up, I read the time, "Oh my god I'm going to be late for school!" I yelled, trying to leap out of bed. Instead, I my broken leg twists beneath me, & I fall, InuYasha catching me at the last moment. I clutch my leg, the pain searing through me.

"Kagome!" he yelled, shaking me a bit.

"Kagome!" my mom yelled, running in the room, "Are you alright? Is it your leg? Did you fall? What is he doing in your room?" my mom asked. Her questions blurring together.

"Mom! Yes it is me leg, & what do you mean why is InuYasha here? This is where he always sleeps when he doesn't want to go back to the feudal era. What's the big deal? It's not like we do anything." I say, InuYasha helping me to sit up. "Thanks," I whisper, smiling at him.

"What's the big deal? I told you that boys rent allowed in your room! Just because you weren't doing anything, doesn't mean that something could have happened! I also had no knowledge that he always sleeps here! I assumed he went back to his own time to sleep." She exclaimed, her face turning a bit red.

"Mom, why are you getting so worked up? We don't do anything, & I don't remember you telling me that boy rule. You let Hojo come to my room." I retort, knowing that she wouldn't insult InuYasha in her own house.

She gaped, then smiled, "That's because your friends are up here too & I know his parents." She replied.

"Well how are you supposed to met InuYasha's? You don't have special powers that let you travel through time! Only I can!" I yell, sitting in InuYasha's lap, leaning forward to get as close to my mom as I could.

She looked at me as if I had slapped her, "Just remember who gave those special powers," she said, walking out of the room.

I stared after her, she yelled back, "You aren't going to school until tomorrow Kagome, now you can try to catch up on your studies."

I groaned, "Oh crap… I have a ton of homework…"

"Do you wanna go back today? When you have another visit with the doctor I can bring you back." InuYasha suggested.

I looked at the stack of homework, "Let me at least try to get through some of it before we decide that okay?"

"Sure," InuYasha said.

I walked to my docking station where my ipod was charging. I turned it on, Madonna's '4 Minutes' starting to play.

"Come on boy, I've been waiting for somebody to pick up my stroll,"

"Well don't waste time, give me a sign, tell me how you wanna roll…"

The music helped me focus.

I finished most of my math when it was time for lunch.

InuYasha helped me downstairs, & carried me to my chair.

"Thank you InuYasha, you are a very much needed help around here," grandpa said, as InuYasha joined the table, sitting near me.

He nodded.

"I almost finished my math, now all I have is… every single other subject… oh man this is going to take forever!" I said, leaning my forehead on the table.

"No, I can help with a few things Kagome, now get your head off the table, I'll get your food." Mom said, stepping back & grabbing the plates.

"Thanks mom," I said, sitting up in my chair.

Mom brought over the food & we all ate in silence. Sota would say something occasionally, but for the most part it was quiet.

"Alright, are you finished InuYasha?" I asked, having finished my own food.

He nodded & carried me upstairs into my room, sitting me down at my desk.

I worked through the rest of my math, & started on writing, then history, & just before dinner I started science.

"Wow! I didn't think I would get this far!" I exclaim, nearly dropping my pencil when looking at the time & what I had left.

"Kagome! Dinner time!" mom called from downstairs.

I looked over & saw InuYasha fast asleep in my bed. I giggled & decided not to wake him. I slid off the chair & scooted to the door, opening it to let me out. I scooted all the way downstairs & to the table.

"Grandpa? Can you help me up?" I asked, looking at the chair.

"Where's InuYasha?" he asked, helping me up.

"He's asleep & I didn't want to wake him up." I replied, settling in.

Mom brought in the food, setting it all down in the center, "Alright everybody, dig in." she said cheerfully.

We did dig in; it was a delicious sashimi. It had tako, ika, & ebi. It was on top of daikon leaves, & had two different sauces: soya sauce, & wasabi.

"Oh mom it tastes wonderful!" I say between bites.

"Thank you, I'm glad you all like it," she said, eating her own food.

When I had finished, I slid to the floor & scooted back up the stairs, getting my bath supplies from my room, & taking a long bath. When I got out I felt fresh & clean, ready to tackle the rest of my homework.

I scooted back to my room & got in the desk chair, turning my ipod back on. This time it was 'Alice of Human Sacrifice.'

"The first Alice was a wrathful woman of the spade, and righteously she held a sharpened blade within her hand,
Never hesitating to slay all within her way, creating paths of blood that followed her through Wonderland,
Deep into the darkened forest Alice walked the line, captured and imprisoned as an embodiment of sin,
If it were not for the murderous wake left behind, no one would have suspected that she had ever been.

The second Alice was a fragile man of the Diamond…"

The haunting voices of the doomed Alices hurried me through the rest of science.

When I had finished all but a few pages of homework I looked at the clock & did a double take. 2:37am!

I panicked & fell out of my chair, giving a soft cry as my leg twisted painfully & I hit my carpeted floor. I lifted myself up by my arms, & tried to reach for the edge of my bed. I twisted some more, my leg twisting horribly. I gave a small scream & passed out, my head hitting the edge of my bed.

I woke up, InuYasha was freaking out.

"Kagome! Wake up Kagome are you okay?" he asked, shaking me awake.

I looked at him, he was worried & concerned, when he saw my eyes open his look of panic disappeared, but the worry was still there.

"What happened?" he demanded, pulling me onto the bed, sitting near me.

"Umm… oh, after I had almost finished my homework I looked at the clock & tried to scramble in bed, but I slipped & twisted my leg & passed out when my head hit the edge of the bed…" I said, remembering the fall.

"Why didn't you wake me up? I would have helped you! What about dinner? Did you skip it? Or did you hurt yourself there too?" he asked, getting frustrated.

"I didn't wake you up because I thought you deserved some sleep okay? I didn't want to wake you up so you could work & carry me downstairs, then back up, & then to the bathroom & back… I wanted to give you at least a bit of a break okay?" I asked, sighing as I looked at the clock. It was 6:14, time to get ready for school…

"I don't care what it's for I want you to ask me for help if it involves walking or moving from place to place okay?" he asked, looking me in the eye.

I nodded, "Well I need to get dressed for school, so help me to my chair & I can maneuver from there."

He picked me up, setting me in my chair.

I rummaged through my dresser, taking out my spare school uniform & a new bra.

"Can you carry me to the bathroom?" I asked, holding the stuff I needed to get dressed.

He nodded, picking me up & carrying me there, opening the door & setting me down on the toilet seat.

I slipped on my bra & skirt, then I slipped on my shirt after hiding the vial of shikon jewel fragments. Then I slipped on a sock, feeling weird at seeing my bare toes poking out of the cast.

"Alright InuYasha I'm decent, can you take me downstairs?" I ask, opening the door to glance at him.

We get to the bottom of the stairs & he puts me in the wheel chair the hospital told me we could use.

"Kagome do you want me to take you to school today?" mom asked, poking her head out of the kitchen.

"NO thanks mom I think I can manage. InuYasha can take m to school, right?" I ask, looking up at him.

He shrugs, "As long as we go back this afternoon," he whispers to me.

I had already packed my book bag with my assignments & had it in hand, ready for school.

He rolled me out the edge of the stair leading down o the sidewalk. He frowned, but picked me up & hopped down to the bottom, setting down the wheelchair & continuing to roll me down the sidewalk.

We walked all the way to school, he stopped at the gates of my school, turning to look at me, "I'll be hanging around this place all day got it? Just in case you need me." He said.

I smiled, "Thanks, I'll see you after school." I said, going through the gates, instantly bringing people around me.

"Oh my god Kagome! How did this happen?" Yuka exclaimed, running up with Eri & Ayumi.

"Hey guys!" I said smiling.

"How did you break you leg?" Eri asked, a worried expression on her gentle face.

"Well, it's kind of embarrassing, but I was climbing the sacred tree at my family's shrine, & I fell, I twisted as I fell, landing bad on my leg, & it broke. The doctor said that if I had a miracle, I would walk normally again." I explained, my smile never vanishing.

Ayumi gasped, "But! No! I'm so sorry Kagome! Is that why you've been absent?" she asked.

"Yes, I went to the hospital yesterday & got the cast. Before though it was a splint & I wasn't allowed off the couch." I lied, rolling inside to my first class, "The good thing is, that instead of being sick this time I actually could concentrate on homework so I got most of it finished. I think I did pretty good." I said, grinning as I rolled into our classroom.

Yuka moved my chair to the back of the class & I talked with the teacher, handing in everything I had finished.

The day was a blur; everyone was sorry & very helpful. I didn't have to do P.E., & my teachers treated me a little nicer. The day went by without anything going wrong.

"Hey Kagome! can we walk home with you?" Ayumi asked, pushing my wheelchair before I could respond.

"Hey look it's Hojo!" Yuka smiled, pointing to Hojo walking up to me with his bike & something else in his hands.

"Kagome! I heard the horrible news, I'm sorry to hear about your broken leg, is it painful?' he asked, kneeling down beside it.

"Umm it's okay Hojo, I'm used to it by now, it's been a few days." I say, Hojo doesn't stand up; he studies all the signatures all over the cast that friends & students had signed today. He grabbed a sharpie out of his bag & signed it, straightening up & smiling, getting on his bike & riding away.

"Wow! What did he sign?" Ayumi asks, leaning down to look, "Ohhh!" she squeals, standing up again.

"What?" I ask, not wanting to really know.

Eri & Yuka looked too & gasped, "It says: 'Sorry about the leg, even if you can't walk again, I'll still love you, -Hojo." Yuka said, reading it.

I blushed, "Can we get home now?" I ask, uncomfortable.

"Sure Kagome," Ayumi says pushing my wheelchair.

"Hey where are you going Kagome? I told you I would pick you up!" InuYasha's voice yelled.

My friends turned around, staring at him.

He was sitting on the edge of a fence; he was also wearing a hat, thank god.

He leapt off & onto the ground, grabbing the wheelchair.

InuYasha ended up pushing me home.

We arrived & my mom was waiting for us.

"How was you day sweetie?" she asked, opening the door.

"It was pretty good, the kids went crazy over my cast, I didn't have to do gym, my teachers were actually nice to me…" I said, smiling.

"Good, now do you have any homework?"

"Just the stuff I dint finish yesterday, I'll get on it." I said, looking at InuYasha.

He carried me upstairs, setting me down in my usual chair.

I finished in an hour & InuYasha stretched.

"Awesome! Now we can get going & get back to my time." He said, grabbing me & jumping out the window, landing in front of the entrance to the well. He opened the door, & we went to the well. He hopped down, a sacred light engulfing us.

InuYasha leapt out, nearly knocking over Miroku & Sango whom were waiting for us.

"Kagome!" they each cried, hugging me in turn.

"Hey guys, are you all okay? I'm sorry for leaving in such a rush last time." I apologized. I heard a loud growl & Inukl leapt out of the woods, knocking me out of InuYasha's arms, before I hit the ground she grabbed me in her jaws & bound off into the woods.

"Holy shit Inukl! What the hell was that for?" I yelled, hitting her muzzle.

She didn't respond, she kept running, then she did the thing that made me aware that no one was supposed to follow. She ran through water, for a long time too. I tried to shield my cast, but I don't think it worked.

She finally got out of the river & ran through a brief forest, then over to a large mountain. In the mountainside was a cave.

"Oh great…" I grumbled as we began to climb. Inukl reached the top & stepped inside the cave, gently dropping me on a bed of fur pelts.

"Koga what the hell is wrong with you? Why'd you kidnap me like that?" I demanded, looking at the wolf prince.

He frowned, "I kidnapped you like that so they couldn't follow, now we have to get that thing off your leg before it kills you," he said, moving towards my cast.

"No!" I said, kicking at him with my other foot, "If we take it off my leg will never heal!" I yell, "This thing is here to protect & guide the broken bones! If you try to take it off it'll hurt a lot too…" I said, trying to make it so he would never take it off until I told him to.

He considered, "Alright, I won't take it off, now back to the den," he said, scooping me up into his arms & running back to his den, Inukl following behind.
