Kim: I wrote this in class instead of watching 'The Day After Tomorrow' for the billionth time. Great movie, but gets boring after a while…
Amber: Didn't we see that movie like, 3 times last semester in earth science?
Kim: Yup, now we're doomed to see it 3 MORE times in physical science…

Chapter 4: That Night
InuYasha sat on the floor and looked around the room. Papers cluttered on top of Kagome's desk, her bed was neatly made, her floor was clean, and her door was shut. He glanced at the sky but it was still pitch black. He let out a short moan.
"Be patient, InuYasha." Kagome said as she sauntered out of the bathroom, drying her hair with a bleach white towel. She had on blue sophies, a navy sweater, and ankle socks.
"Finally," InuYasha grumbled. Kagome looked at her alarm clock. It was only nine.
"Sorry, it's only nine. You have nine hours till the sun starts to rise. Lighten up a little bit." He ignored her comments. The sweet smell of instant ramen slowly filled the room. "I'll be back in a sec."
"That's what you said before you took a bath." The irritated hanyou grumbled. Kagome raced down the stairs, tying her hair up into a ponytail.
"I made you guys some ramen," Mrs. Higarashi said happily. She put the two cups of ramen and chopsticks in Kagome's hands.
"Thanks mom!" she took them and walked back up the stairs. She kicked the door open with her foot and walked over the InuYasha. "Here."
"Hmmm?" He seemed to be deep in thought about something.
"Ramen. My mom made it for us," He took the cup of warm noodles from her and immediately started eating. Kagome took a seat on the floor against the bed right next to him. "So what were you thinking about?"
He pushed the noodles around in his cup with his chopsticks. "Nothing. It was nothing." He said and continued to eat. Kagome sighed heavily.
"You never tell me anything," the miko complained. She stared at the broth left in her cup. She shook it in a circular motion and watched the little whirl pool form in the center and then disappear. InuYasha sighed and put his ramen cup on the floor. She dropped the topic. He obviously wasn't going to tell her what was on his mind. He wasn't that kind of guy.
She started thinking about the day. "I wonder if Miroku is okay." InuYasha looked out the window to his right. Kagome's gaze stayed on her desk..
"The poison should have subsided by now. He only sucked in two or three Synyosho. He looked down and started playing with his sleeve. She yawned and picked up the ramen cups.
"I'm going to take these downstairs," she said getting up and headed towards the door. "I'll be right back," she ran down the stairs and left the cups on the counter. When she ran back upstairs to her room, she noticed InuYasha was gone. "InuYasha?" she asked the air where he had been sitting. That's when she noticed her curtains blowing from the rush of spring-warm air blowing in. She poked her head out and looked around. Just as she had thought. The hanyou was sitting in a branch in the sacred tree.
'Thank god. I thought he went back to the feudal era.' She thought. She turned out her light and dove on top of her bed. She squeezed her pillow tight. A thought occurred to her. She reached over and set her alarm clock for the next morning. Then she flopped onto her back and stared at the ceiling. 'He was thinking of Kikyou.' She decided not to torture herself by thinking of what he could have thought about that included her, so she went to sleep.
Kim: Okay! Chapter 4 is done!!
Amber: we just need 5 reviews to get chapter 5! ;D
