Chapter 5: Know Me More
The next morning, Inuyasha didn't feel like waking up for another boring day of school. But what choice does he have? He skipped a few times, and if he did once more, his parents will be notice to know about him being a rebel. So he just got dressed in a pair of blue jeans, a white shirt, and a red zip up hoodie, along with a pair of brown sandals. He grabs his stuff and heads downstairs to join breakfast.
In the Kitchen, Izayoi is making French toast along with some waffles. Inuyasha comes in and takes a seat on the stool. "Morning Mom." He greets her with a smile. "Morning, I bet you're hungry." Izayoi replies as she fills a plate for him. "Do you know where dad is?" He asks in between his bites. Izayoi gets a plate of her own, "He left early this morning for a business trip. He'll be home tomorrow night." She answers after taking a sip of Orange Juice. "Dad can be full of surprises." Inuyasha comments to her about his father's career, a multi-millionaire. But he doesn't want any attention on what he has, that's why he wants to look as average as possible at his school. He finishes in a short period of time and puts his dishes into the dish washer. "I'm off mom." He said and leaves the house. "Have a nice day at school." Izayoi calls out to him, before he closes the door to the garage.
Inuyasha drives out of the mansion gates and heads to Kagome's house. He slows down in the neighborhood. He stops by Kagome's house. He gets out of the car and walks up to the front door. He rings the doorbell, waiting for someone to answer the door. The door opens revealing an older woman, "May I help you?" She asks nicely. "Hi is Kagome home?" He asks her. She shows a frown, "She is, but she's too sick to come to school today. Would you like me to tell her you came by?" He smiles, "Sure. I just wanted to make sure she was okay, because she wasn't feeling yesterday afternoon." She nods, "Yes she just got her tonsils removed a month ago. I'm just surprised she managed to sing her song in music class. But from singing so much can increase the pain in her throat." Inuyasha nods and heads back to the car. "I'll stop by for a visit." He said and leaves.
Inuyasha makes it to the student parking lot. After taking an empty spot, he finds Kikyo staring at him, with a so call innocent smile on her face. 'Great what does she want?' He thought to himself as he goes to a different entrance of the building. Kikyo narrows her eyes trying to find out why he keeps on avoiding her. "Oh sure try to get away from me." She mocks as she makes sure that she catches him before class.
Inuyasha makes it upstairs for his history class. He finds Miroku in the back of the room, and sits by him. "So where's Kagome?" Miroku whispers to him. Inuyasha takes his seat by him. "She's still home. Her throat has been killing her since yesterday." He answers as he gets his supplies out of his bag. "How could she have such an illness?" Miroku curiously asks. Inuyasha looks around and whispers, "She was in surgery because she had her tonsils removed a month ago. I feel sorry for her." He sadly replies to him. Miroku nods, and then class began.
Meanwhile in Sango's class, she finds that Kagome isn't here, "I bet she's home." She murmurs quietly, not to get the teacher concern about Kagome's absence. Luckily the teacher wasn't really interested in what she's into, but just to make sure that she's doing her work. "Alright class, we all know that there's going to be a Talent show by the end of next month, so whoever is up for their skills, come sigh up here." The teacher announces as well showing a clip board. The bell rings to let the students dismissed themselves. Before Sango leaves the room, the teacher stops her, "Ms. Taijiya, may I have a word with you?" He requests her. She just nods and stays put. "I got the word from Mrs. Higurashi that her daughter isn't coming in because Kagome is supposed to be recover from surgery when her tonsils were removed about a month ago. So if I were you, I'd not let her sing for awhile." He suggests about the condition. Sango widens her eyes, "Oh I'm sorry that I didn't notice. But I'll keep my word though." She promises and leaves the room.
Little did they know that Kikyo eavesdropped the conversation. She casually walks to her next class thinking, 'So she's still recovering from surgery and it was only a month ago. How sad indeed.' She thought with fake innocence. She finds her group before they head into class. "So what happened?" Kagura asks her. Kikyo grins, "That new girl is supposed to be recovering from her surgery." She said back. "From what?" Kanna asks emotionlessly. "Her tonsils. It's been a month since then." Kikyo describes the aftermath. "Ah so she's not even allow to sing at all?" Kagura asks mischievously while leaning, "Yeah. And if she does, it's worsen her recovery as we speak." Kikyo grins as if she's up to something bad as we might speak for ourselves.
During lunch Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango as just randomly eating whatever they got themselves. "So Kagome has not told us about her surgery. I can't blame her." Miroku starts off. Inuyasha only knew that from her mother so far. "Inuyasha you there?" Miroku asks while waving his hand in front of his buddy's face. Inuyasha comes out of his trance, "Oh, sorry. Just deep in thought." He said back to them. Miroku and Sango look at each other, confused, but stayed understanding. "Maybe we should go visit her after school." Sango suggests as she gathers her lunch. "I agree, it's the least we could do to make sure she's okay." Miroku agrees as he does his own. Inuyasha doesn't say anything just alone in his own thoughts again.
After school, Inuyasha leaves the building. Before he gets into his car, an annoying voice halts him. "Inu Baby wait up." He groans and looks to find Kikyo coming towards. "What do you want this time? I'm on a tight schedule." He responded but she grabs his arm, "Cancel it then. We must go out." She said trying her best to keep him to herself. He growls and literally pulls his arm out of her grasp and quickly gets into his car and drove away from the annoying girl. "Honestly, will she ever come to her senses and I'm not interested in her. God why can't she just leave me alone?" He said to himself.
Kagome is still in bed with an ice pack on her forehead. "Of all times for me to over exert my voice." She whines miserably. She just got to school for two days and now she's back in bed with a horrible sore throat. "I knew it was too good to be true." She comments her condition. A knock on her door gets her alerted, "Who is it?" Her raspy voice asks. The door opens revealing Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango. "hey there Kagome. How are you feeling?" Sango asks as she takes a seat, while the boys just sat on the floor. "Come and goes. I should've told you sooner though." Kagome replies sadly to them, but showed some assurance in her eyes. Inuyasha isn't buying her act, but keeps his look concerned instead. "Do you know when you'll be able to go to school?" Miroku asks her. Kagome frowns, "It's hard to say because of my recovery. Who knows how long it's going to take for my throat to be completely healed." She explains so far. The rest just nodded respectfully. Sango and Miroku pull something out of their bags. "We got the word from class of your absence and we don't want to fall behind. "Sango said as they hand over their class assignments to make sure Kagome could keep track on what she missed. "Thanks you guys." She smiles brightly to them. They smile back, but then Sango's cell vibrates. She gets a text from her little brother for a ride. "I'll see you later." She said as she and Miroku leave the room.
