"Kagome!" my mother's voice called up the stairs, Time to get ready for school. I groaned as I pulled myself out of bed and made my way to the bathroom to get cleaned up.
Oh no! I groaned internally rolling over and covering my head. I had to go back to school. The problem was, I have no idea what the last thing we did in school was, yet somehow, they expected me to catch up within a few months. Sighing I dragged myself out of bed and pulled on the first outfit I grabbed. This new uniform felt so different. The creases were crisp and neat; a little too crisp for my liking.
"Hurry Kagome, Your friend is here and he is waiting to walk you to school." I heard my mother call up the stairs. Rushing I pulled a comb through my hair and ran down the stairs taking them two at a time. "Inuyasha?" I questioned bounding into the kitchen just before I ran into him. "Oh... good morning Hojo" I greeted him.
"You're looking better then the last time I saw you." he smiled at me warmly, "Shall we go?" he held the door open for me.
"So we will be starting you off with some assessment test to determine where we need to start you, and then some basic test from the grades you've missed..." the principal droned on as I stared off into space remembering the first time Inuyasha followed me to school. "Do you understand Miss. Higurashi?" he asked, eyebrow raised. Clearly he had caught me not paying attention. "Yes sir, I understand." I replied in my most polite tone I could muster up.
"How bad was it?" Yuka asked sympathetically. School was finally over and we all were in my room eating some lunch. "It really wasn't that bad," I told her explaining that I already knew most of the answers from studying so much in my dream. I still wasn't totally convinced that it really was a dream. After all, how often does a person dream while in a coma. I also didn't think that if it was a dream I would have gotten so many answers right. I have never heard of learning textbook material in a dream. "So what was this dream boy like?" Ayumi questions excitedly. I thought for a moment then answered, "Well, Inuyasha was really misunderstood. He was half demon and half human. He had long Sliver hair and gold eyes and adorable puppy ears in his demon form, but in his human form he had long black hair brown eyes and his ears turned normal." Smiling slightly, I continued, "He was also really strong and really sweet, although he didn't know how to express his feelings. And he always protected me, even if he got hurt in the process." I looked down at my hands so they couldn't see the tears building in my eyes.
"Aw, don't be sad Kagome. We are all still here for you" Eri said squeezing me in a tight hug. "yeah, and we are real" Yuka chimed, joining our hug along with Ayumi. Suddenly the door bell rang.
"Kagome, You have company!" my mother called up to us. The three of us looked at each other and then raced to the door to see who it was.
"Oh, Hello Hojo!" I giggled, "what a nice suprise it is to see you." He blushed and mumbled about wanting to help me study "Hey Hojo, Kagome is going to take a bunch of test and if she does well then she can skip a grade or two and can catch up with us." Yuka told him excitedly
"Yeah, you could help her study so she does really good" Eri said nodding enthustacly catching on to Yuka's plan "We should probably be getting home anyways." She held her hand over Ayumi's mouth to keep her from protesting. After only an hour of forced studying alone with Hojo, I couldn't take it any more.
"Thanks for your help Hojo, but I think I've done enough for today, I just got home a few days ago and I still need lots of rest." I said with a huge fake yawn while streching. "I think it's time for me to turn in."
"Oh okay. How about I walk you to school tomorrow" He eagerly offered. "And I'll walk you home and help you study some more tomorrow." He added as I nearly shoved him out the door, agreeing just to get him to leave. As soon as he was gone I ran up to my room and flopped onto my bed and closed my eyes. It had been a long day and I was exhausted. "Oi, Kagome!" a familiar voice voice called. I opened my eyes, shocked, to see a beautiful blue sky above me. It took about a minute to realize that I was in the bone eaters well in the fudial era. "Hurry up wench" The voice called again. Inuyasha? I thought. No way! "Are you gonna spend all day down there daydreaming?" He looked down over the edge of the well. I rubbed my eyes and looked up at him in shock. "Don't make me come get you" He growled down at me. I asked him the first question I could think of. "Am I dreaming?"
A.N: This chapter was a little harder to write but I hope you like it.
