"If you have a clock with three hands, how many of the hands are purple?" Mama Scorch asked her Physics class, early Monday morning.
Sango's eye twitched as she twirled her engagement ring around her finger. Inuyasha sighed and scratched the back of his neck. He watched Kagome out of the corner of his eyes. She was doodling in a book. She was doodling a kitten and puppy playing.
Inuyasha flicked her elbow lightly. She sat up and looked at him. He raised an eyebrow at her doodle. She shrugged.
"That's right! You would have only one purple hand because purple is neutral in the World of Troy and Narnia," Mama Scorch said. Sango could feel the enamel of her teeth begin to wear down with all the grinding.
"Okay, everyone! Read the next three chapters. You'll have a paper to write on Einstein's Theory of Relativity," Mama Scorch said and dismissed her students.
"What the hell have we been learning for us to write a whole paper on the theory of relativity?" Sango hissed.
"It's Mama Scorch. I just read the chapters and take notes. The lecture is just a waste if you don't know the code words," Kagome said.
The three walked out of their class and Sango exhaled. She rubbed her temples in a futile attempt to reduce her stress level.
"It's ridiculous! Everyone in that class thinks she's a genius! She's talking crap!" Sango ranted. Inuyasha rolled his eyes while Kagome giggled.
"Inuyasha!"
The three turned around at the voice. Inuyasha groaned at the red-headed girl running to catch up with them. Sango looked irritated.
"I don't feel like dealing with your stalkers/fan club. I'm going to my class," Sango said and left Kagome and Inuyasha alone.
"Hi, hi!" Kat said when she came up to them. Kagome slipped her hand in Inuyasha's.
"Bye," Inuyasha said and turned Kagome away from Kat.
"Don't be silly, Koinu!" Kat said and pulled him back. Kat smiled brightly and Kagome felt bad for her. She was just a sweet girl with a crush. Kagome smiled back.
Inuyasha was worried. Would Kagome be mad at Kat? Would she be mad at him? His worry turned to confusion when Kagome smiled back at Kat. What was she thinking?
"Hi, I'm Kagome. I don't think I know you," Kagome said pleasantly.
"I'm Kat. It's nice to meet you. I hope you don't mind, but I need to borrow Koinu here," Kat said gesturing to Inuyasha.
"May I ask for what?" Kagome asked. She would give Kat a chance. Inuyasha didn't look so pleased that she was around. What could the harm be?
"That's confidential ma'am."
Kagome raised an eyebrow. Kat smiled at her. Kat narrowed her eyes at Kat. Kat smirked. Kagome's eyes widened.
"Kat!" Kagome said and hugged the girl. Kat laughed and hugged her back. Inuyasha was confused… very confused. His girlfriend was hugging and laughing with his stalker….
"Inuyasha, this is Kat. She's my best friend from pre-school. We did everything together. I haven't seen you since Cho's birthday party. How have you been?" Kagome asked.
"I'm great! I saw Inuyasha and heard he was your boyfriend. I was doing a little background search. Have to see if he's loyal and worth of my bestie," Kat said.
"Oh, my gosh. We have to catch up. It's been so long," Kagome said and hugged Kat again. Inuyasha scratched the back of his neck. If Kat was a friend then she could be trusted…

Kiki and Kyuu sat in Le Petite Coq for dinner on Wednesday night. The restaurant was mostly empty except for a wealthy couple at another table. Kiki took a sip of her water and Kyuu cleared his throat.
"I have to say, I never thought we would have much in common," Kyuu said.
"Me either," Kiki replied. She glanced idly around the restaurant. The other couple in the restaurant. They looked so in love… something she and Kyuu would never be. She was attracted to him by physical appearances and vice versa… and nothing more. They had nothing in common…
"You wanna get out of here?" Kyuu asked. She nodded. They paid their bill and exited the fancy, French restaurant. They had nothing in common, but that didn't stop them from making out in Kyuu's car…

Kagome sat on Inuyasha's lap with Miroku and Sango on a couch a way's away from them. They were all watching Titanic. Inuyasha wasn't really paying attention. He was happy to have Kagome with him. Let the guy freeze to death if he wants…
Miroku pulled Sango closer to him. She snuggled into her fiancée. Finally, everyone was happy…
"Kagome Higurashi!"
Kagome squealed and fell off her seat, which meant, unfortunately, that she fell on the floor. She squinted when someone turned on the apartment's lights. Inuyasha stood. Kagome rubbed her rear and looked up.
"Daddy!" Kagome said happily. (For more info on Kagome's father, read BONUS CHAPTER pt. 1 of High School Days.)
Kagome ran to hug her father. He hugged her back with one arm and glared at Inuyasha. Inuyasha swallowed.
"How are you here? When did you get here?" Kagome asked.
"You mother sent me to bring you this. When your sister told me she gave you and your friends her apartment, I didn't think you would be having men over," Sato said, glaring at Inuyasha.
"It's just Inuyasha, Daddy. He means no harm," Kagome said and took the package from her father. She shook it and something moved inside. Kagome left to put it away.
"It's nice to see you, Sato," Sango said and smiled. Sato smiled at her.
"It's wonderful to see you Sango-chan. I hear you're getting married. I assume it's to Miroku," Sato said, all his anger gone.
"Yep. I'm the luckiest man in the world!" Miroku said and held Sango closer. Sango laughed at her fiancée. Sato looked back at Inuyasha with a glare.
"Inuyasha. I see you're still well. I hope you find time to work on your assignments when you're not touching my daughter," Sato said.
"It's nice to see you too, Higurashi-san," Inuyasha said stiffly. Kagome came back into the room ad stood ext to Inuyasha. She held his had ad Inuyasha was tempted to move. Sato looked like he would pull a knife out.
"Are you going to stay longer?" Kagome asked her father. Was she trying to get Inuyasha killed?
"I would love to, but I have a early flight I the morning. Come give me a hug," Sato said and held his arms open. Kagome went to him and embraced her father. Inuyasha could hear them whispering.
"You know I have no problems with demons or half-demons, but my offer still stands," Sato said.
"I'm not leaving Inuyasha for five thousand dollars, Dad," Kagome replied. He offered he money to leave him?
"I'll double it if you swear off men forever."
"Good bye, Father," Kagome said and began walking her father out the door.
When Kagome came back she exhaled and rubbed her temples. Her father was so determined to keep her away from boys… Too bad he always failed…
