Summary: At the beginning she was the only one who can see him. He was her temperamental, stubborn and overprotective ghost half dog demon. Not to mention possessive as well. He has fifty days left. What did it mean? Who is after them and what do they want. "I don't give two hells if I'm dead Kagome. I'll protect you and that's a damn promise," he said.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha!

Did we just hit five hundred reviews? *gasps dramatically and faints* You people have to earn rewards. I was going to post next week, but seeing at the amount of reviews I got on the last chapter, I didn't want to let you hang there. I still don't have my computer which will be hard to see how long this chapter is. Thank you everyone! *passes cookies all around* Enjoy!

"Hey Kagome," the said girl turned around as she was facing the opposite way from the school's entrance. She tucked a lock of her raven hair that was in her face that was blown by the wind.

"Hi you guys," Kagome said with a smile, looking at her three friends as they smiled back kindly to her.

"Can you believe it. Just one more year until we go into high school and then we are off to college. I'm telling you, time is going to fly by pretty quick it's already almost half a year into the school year," Ayumi said as she and the others walked into the school.

Eri and Yuka nodded,"Yes we know. Aren't you excited Kagome?"

Kagome was daydreaming and stood in the hallway staring at the exit of the door. Why do I feel so empty? Like I'm not even here?

"Kagome?" she heard and nervously laughed.

"Sorry, I was in my world again," Kagome told them and embarrassedly scratched her cheek.

"That's our Kagome, always the dreamer, but never the dream catcher," Yuka stated as the other two girls nodded in agreement.

Kagome was confused at what her friend just said being that she was barely paying any attention to her and they cheekily grinned at her. "Come on, we are going to be late for school," Kagome said gruffly and began to walk but when she stopped in her tracks and slumped with a bead of sweat rolling down her head.

"Um...where is our next class?" she asked drily.

Yuka, Eri and Ayumi toppled over at her oblivious question. They got up, brushed their clothing off and led her to their classroom. Ayumi and Yuka began to talk with one another as they walked, Kagome and Eri were talking about upcoming school festivals feet in front of them.

"Her grandfather said she had fallen down the stairs a few days back and can't remember anything," Yuka whispered. "I feel so bad for Kagome," Ayumi said.

"So do I," Yuka said and they both nodded and picked up their pace before the late bell rang.

Kagome gapped at the number then at the subject, her head going up and down at the door number and her program paper.

Her jaw could've dropped to the floor at the horror, A...Algebra is my first class! NOOOO! Her eye twitched continuously and she let out an 'uhhh' sound. "I knew I had a bad feeling with my first class," Kagome said, letting out a heavy sigh. Her three friends knew that Kagome hated math.

Yuka and Eri locked their arms with hers, Ayumi pushed her in by her back and marched her and themselves into the classroom. They all sat down just before the teacher came in.

Kagome gulped at the teacher's strict expression as she glared at each and every student. "This must be the replacement teacher. We heard that we were getting one because the last one quit," Ayumi whispered to Kagome and the others.

"Hello students, I am your new teacher for this year. Your last teacher quit so now I am the one teaching you and let me tell you that there will be no note passing. No cellphones in sight or else they will be taken away and given to you at the end of the week. And absolutely, no talking when I or a student is speaking aloud. Any questions?" the teacher raised a brow and looked at everyone.

Kagome fidgeted in her seat uncomfortably. "Lady gives you the creeps too?" she turned around to see a guy with a hat and wearing a red haori. It was like something that would be worn many many many years ago. Not only that, he had long silver hair and amazing golden eyes that were the color of the sun. She had to remind herself that she was in school, in a class and here she was staring at a guy. Kagome blushed twenty shades of red and couldn't speak, so she nodded her head.

He gave her a questioning look, but their attention went to the teacher who's red eyes peered down at them. "Is my speaking boring you out of your mind, that you have to talk to the person next to you?"

The silver haired boy snorted and looked out the window. "Mr. Takahashi, I've dealt with students with your kind of...attitude and I won't be disrespected in class. If you would kindly move to the back of the class and sit there quietly, perhaps later in the class I would think of moving you to your regular seat."

Kagome watched him get up and she gazed at him, their eyes locked and hers widened. His eyes, they showed sadness and guilt.

"Kagome," she heard Eri say while getting elbowed in her ribs. "Huh?" she turned back around to face them.

"You shouldn't spas out like that. You might get in trouble," Eri told her. Kagome nodded,"Right. Got it, thanks."

For some unknown reason, she could feel him watching her, it wasn't a weird feeling that made her confused. It was the feeling that she was being protected of the sort. What's wrong with me? I don't even know the guy.

She started to pay attention to the lesson her teacher was teaching. Kagome looked down at her paper, not realizing that she was doodling on it. Kagome stared at it long and hard, Did I really just draw, dog ears?

The bell rang and she quickly gathered her things, she wanted to talk to the guy. Something odd was happening and she wanted to know what. Although, when Kagome turned around...

...he was already gone.

She felt herself shaking continuously.

Why am I shaking?

...

...

...

Her eyes snapped open and she panted heavily. "Kagome," she heard. "Inuyasha?" she groggily rubbed her eyes and noticed him crouched down by her bed staring at her in concern.

"I was dreaming? It was only a dream?" she whispered to herself.

"You scared me there for a second. What was it about?" Inuyasha asked her. Kagome sat up and he floated over to her and sat beside her.

"It was nothing like I dreamt of before. But...but I think you were there, except that you were alive," Kagome said staring down at the floor.

Inuyasha nodded once and opened his mouth to speak, but she continued and turned to face him. Kagome lifted her hand and placed it on his cheek, "Your eyes held so much sadness. I couldn't even bare to see it. I've never seen them like that before. I don't think I want to see them like that. Even though I know you aren't here. I want you to be happy. At least make you feel alive."

Inuyasha's lips curled up into a small smile and let her rest once more, she needed all the sleep she can get. Inuyasha heard her breathing even out and knew she was asleep.

Damn she sleeps fast. He scoffed and his smile faded away, I'll have to talk to the old hag. That was no dream. It was a memory.

I'm sorry if it was short. I still don't have my computer with me. Updates won't be coming so soon because I have a part time job now and I have to juggle with school and homework. I'll be writing the next chapter. Forgive me if I don't post it soon. Life gets in the way you know. Check out my one-shots and my new story, Baby's First. It won't be a long one though. The next chapter I'll be writing a summary of the next story I'll be doing. Thank you for reading!

Yours Truly,

Fallen :)
