Disclaimer: Dont own twlight or inuyasha...

School

"Kagome, it's time for school!" The school girl groaned. She still felt tired from her experience at the hospital. She made a face to no one In particular as she got about of bed.

Souta was waiting in the kitchen jabbering away happily. When he saw her his face broke in to a grin. "Hey! Sorry, you missed breakfast." He threw her lunch which she caught with some surprise. Since when had she had such good reflexives?

"That's okay. I'm not that hungry."

"Honey, you should go." Her mama's voice startled her. She hadn't realized she'd been right there, in the kitchen. "I'm sorry I didn't wake you earlier. You seemed so peaceful."

Kagome frowned. That was odd. She had been having a dream- no a nightmare. People had been screaming, and she could hear the sound of swords clattering. The sound of people as the fell to the ground with a small thump. But she hadn't been able to see anything. But every so often a flash of light, like lightening had struck the battle field, and lit up a face. And then she had heard something approaching, something bid approaching. She could almost feel the vibrations as it came closer. She shuddered. It was a good thing demons weren't real.

"C'mon sis, were gonna be late." A small hand grasped hers and was slowly tugging her towards the door. With her free hand she waved good-bye to her mama.

It was chilly outside. The wind rustled the leaves in the tree overhead. She came to a halt beneath it. The strangest feeling had come over her. She walked over to the colossal tree, stepping over the small fence surrounding it. One tentative hand was place on top the timeless bark.

"Souta… has this tree always been here?"

Her brother raised an eyebrow. "Um, for over five hundred years, yeah."

"That's funny I just thought-" She paused this tree was important, she could tell that much, and powerful. The second she had placed her hand on the tree, she felt almost purer. She shook her mane of raven hair. "Right. School."

They walked in silence for a while. Souta looked slightly troubled by something.

"What's up?"

He shook his head. "It's nothing. "

She let out a little sigh. Yeah right. Still, the silence was making her queasy. "So… Souta, what did you and mom pack for lunch?"

"Ramen." This time she could fell his gaze on her, watching her reaction.

"Oh, yum-" She was cut off as a girl her age called her name.

"Kagome!"

She whipped around. A trio of schoolgirls were running up to them. Their faces sparked recognition in Kagome's mind.

"Eri, Yuka, Ayumi!"

"So, you're back?"

"Yeah, why were you out this time?"

Kagome grinned."I'm fine."

All three girls smiled. "So tell me, how is he?"

"Yeah did he visit you when you were in the hospital?"

"Who?" The only people who had visited her were her family. And she had a feeling her friends weren't talking about Souta or gramps.

"Oh, don't give us that crap, Kagome. " Yuka sighed. "You know who we're talking about."

Kagome sent a sideways glance at her brother, to find out who her friends were talking about. But he had already run off to school. She could just make out the little boy running towards a big grey building up ahead. "I- I have no clue what you're talking about."

"Oh, come on." Eri scowled, tossing her short hair over her shoulder. "You know, Mr. Possessive?"

"Mr. Possessive?"

Ayumi frowned. "Remember? We met him a while back. His name was Inu- Inu." She paused and twirled her finger in the air, trying to remember. "Inuyasha!"

"Inu-yasha?" She raised an eyebrow. What an odd name. Yet she had the feeling she had heard it somewhere before. Maybe even said it.

Her friends were looking at her strangely. "Yeah. Do you have amnesia, or something-" The bell for class rang and all four girls sprinted towards the doors.

"Ow. My head hurts." Kagome groaned. They were sitting at lunch.

"Yeah. Math was hell." Yuka agreed, picking at her sushi.

Ayumi frowned. "What are you talking about? We learned all that stuff last year!"

Eri studied her roll. "So what's up with your boyfriend, Kagome?"

Yuka nodded, dropping the subject of academics. "Yeah, drop the whole 'innocent' act."

Kagome looked up at them, confused. Why were they convinced this Inuyasha person (whoever he was) was her boyfriend?

Ayumi studied her long-haired friend. Had they broken up? That had to be it. Poor Kagome must be really hurt; she loved him a lot. It must have been really bad too… She kicked Eddi and Yuka under the table and shot them meaningful glares to stop. "Aren't you excited for history class? I know I am!"

Her companions looked at her like she was crazy.

History was the last class, and the students were sitting on the edges of their seats, waiting for the bell to ring. The teacher droned, pretending the class actually cared.

"As you all know, one of the most famous legends is that of the Shikon no Tama, the jewel of four souls."

Kagome's eyes refocused. Shikon no Tama? That sounded familiar; perhaps gramps had told her about it? She clenched her fist, anxious for some reason.

"Legend tells us that the jewel was formed when a powerful priestess was forced to push her own soul out of her body."

Yes, she had defiantly heard this before.

"The jewel was powerful. It made both demons and men alike stronger. Even when the jewel was split into millions of shards, one shard could increase a person's power immensely."

She clenched her fist tighter. Blood was pounding in her head. In her minds eyes she heard someone scream, saw something red splatter the ground, and a glint on something silver. She stood up, her gaze lowered to the classroom floor. The teacher looked at her curiously. "Bathroom." she muttered under her breath, and then dashed out the door.

She let out her breath once outside the classroom. What had happened in there? She leaned against the wall, eyes closed. The vision of the blood splattered ground was still fresh in her mind. What was that, and why had she seen it? It almost felt like it was a memory of some sort.

"How was school?" Her mom asked as she served dinner.

"Mm-ok" Souta replied, his mouth full of rice.

"Kagome?"

"Fine." She was playing with her chopsticks. There were two things she couldn't seem to get out of her mind, the Shikon no Tama, and the name of the boy, Inuyasha. Who was he? "Who was Inuyasha?" she murmured out loud, still playing with her rice. She blushed, realizing she had spoken out loud. Had they heard? She glanced up. By the looks on their faces, they had. Her mom was looking worried, but there was sadness in her brown eyes. Souta looked excited, almost hopeful. And her grandfather was still eating, pretending he hadn't heard.

"Where-"Her mom took a deep breath before continuing, "Where did you hear that name?" Her eyes were filled with concern now.

"Oh, my friends were talking about him at school. I just- his name is really unusual, I just couldn't seem to…" Kagome paused, and lowered her voice."…forget it."

"Oh." Her mom lowered her eyes, trying not to feel to disappointed. Of course here friends wouldn't have known. "He was an old family friend." Emphasis on old, she thought to herself, "He died a while back. I- knew him. When you were little." A lie, but it would make sense.

Her daughter nodded, so he had died. Something wet trickled down her face. Why was she crying? She barely even knew this man. "I'm not hungry anymore c-can I be excused?" She bit her lip, in an attempt to stop the tears, but they kept coming. Without waiting for a response, she burst upstairs.
