Well,well,well look who's back! ;D Okay so I finally had to roll back into school mode which sucks. I wish I had a longer winter break. After all that homework I finally was going to update and then I got the flu! Grr… So I've been coughing to death, blah blah blah and couldn't sleep so I decided to write xD I'm dosed on Theraflu so… if this chapter sucks it's not my fault…. It's the medicine . hahaha kidding… Please enjoy this chapter! Oh And I haven't mentioned this in a while… x'D but…. I don't own InuYasha… Alright so it was sunrise when I finished so now I'll pass out while you read :D

" Kagome…. Wake up dear it's time to eat dinner now." Mrs. Higurashi shook her daughter who was taking a nap on the couch. Well if you consider four hours a nap that is. Could you really blame her though? Middle School could wear anyone out!

Kagome moaned in her sleep, rubbing her face against the soft couch gently lifting her eyelids. It was dark….

Kagome's heart immediately sped up as she leaped off the couch. " Mama! Why didn't you wake me up!" Kagome cried." I have homework to do and I still have to shower and eat!"

" Kagome! Don't yell at me! I tried to wake you but you kept shooing me away!"

" What! I was asleep don't listen to me when I'm asleep!" Kagome was now bouncing up and down nervous. She hated when she didn't have her homework done before it got dark. It always meant she was running out of time to do it.

" Don't worry about it now, it's time to eat. I'll help you after."

That relieved some of Kagome's stress but she was still shaking in her hands.

Sota hopped down the stairs like a penguin. Could you really blame the kid for wanting to be a penguin? He is only six years old.

" KaGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….." Sota took a long sigh before saying " Meh." Taking a seat at the table.

" What Sota?" Kagome asked irritated, getting some ice for her warm soda.

" Can Joo help me with my homie work…"

" I can barely get through my own homework."

Sota shrugged until his shoulders were touching his chin and waited to be served.

" What did you get for homework baby?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.

" I don't remember… I left it at school."

Mrs. Higurashi sighed and placed a taco in front of Sota and three tacos for Kagome.

" Tacos!" Sota screamed digging in.

Kagome sent her brother a look. He was born into a Japanese family and yet he acted like they were at a fiesta. Kagome watched as the clock's hand slowly moved around the clock. It was getting more painful each second.

" Kagome!" Her mom grunted, getting up and taking down the wall clock. " It'll be fine! Just eat your dinner!"

Kagome crunched into her homemade taco shell filled with hamburger, lettuce, cheese, and her mother's friend's secret ketchup sauce. They were delicious but took forever to make.

After dinner Kagome literally jumped into the shower scrubbing her scalp clean. She sat under the water for a long time enjoying the warmth and patted her head every now and then just to make sure she got all the conditioner out. She quickly snatched her powerpuff girls towel applying it to her face and sighed. It usually took Kagome thirty minutes in the shower with the water on and fifteen minutes in the shower with the water off drying herself. Carefully she placed her small feet onto the bathroom mat drying her feet and walked to her room. Grabbing her laptop she got out her pajamas and sung as loud as she could.

Mrs. Higurashi went upstairs and saw Sota starring at the bathroom door. " KagOOmeh. Mama says it's time to get out."

Kagome walked out of her room with a towel tightly wrapped around her head. " I'm not in the shower anymore Sota.." Sota turned around gasping looking at Kagome and then the door.

" Mama! Kagoomeh knows magic!"

Mrs. Higurashi laughed, scooping up her son and snuggling him. " Come on time to brush your teeth."

Kagome walked back into her bathroom pulling out her blow dryer and lazily holding it over her head. If you had long hair it was going to be a really long time before all your hair was dry.

After all that Kagome went back downstairs to check on the time and fell on the ground. Sota just so happened to be sneaking a juice box and saw his sister on the ground making his straw fall out of his mouth. " AH! She's DEAD!" Sota got on his knees by his sister suddenly turning his head towards his bedroom. " Hey what's on tv?"

Kagome groaned and got off of the floor. Well If you had to, she was going to stay up all night getting that dumb math page done.

Kagome sat at her desk with her lamp on low starring at her math homework. Thirty two problems…. Only thirty-two problems…. She could do this. Could she do this? She wrote the first problem down circling the number one and looked back at her math book for assistance. " break down the numbers until they are all prime… use a factor tree… A factor tree! When did Mr. Menphis teach this! Forget this I'm doing it in the morning…" Kagome closed her math book, shut down her laptop, turned off her lamp and slid into bed.

~ With InuYasha!~

It was the next day and InuYasha was just about done getting ready for school.

" Now you have your notebook?" Izayoi asked holding a notebook and a red pen.

" Yes…." InuYasha said. Izayoi checked off that on her notebook.

" Lunch money?"

" Yes…."

" Check. fangs brushed?"

" Yeah…."

" Check. Kiss mommy goodbye now" Izayoi smiled hugging InuYasha into a suffocating hug.

" I'm not a little baby anymore…"

" You are to me." She said pinching his cheeks. " Mother's never want to let their baby's go."

" I'm going to miss the bus though…"

Izayoi looked out one of the large windows putting a hand to her cheek. " Oh my. I see you're right. Well Have a good day at school…"

" I will." InuYasha smiled. " Bye mom."

Izayoi sighed waving.

Sesshomaru on the other hand was now was in twelfth grade. currently he was dating a girl named Kagura. He was studying to take over his father's business but he had to get that diploma first. He was an excellent student and was praised by all his teachers. Rin was still in the picture as well. He dated her in eighth grade but they acted more like friends than to be in a relationship. Kagura could easily tell that Rin still had feelings for Sesshomaru. Unlike InuYasha, Sesshomaru chose to go to a private school. They required their students to wear uniforms but he was completely fine with that. It was in the pain in the morning to figure out what to wear. Now normally they would make him chop his silvery hair but he's family is so high up in the ranking they kept their mouths shut about it. Sesshomaru grabbed his one inch binder and keys ready to walk out the door when Izayoi grabbed his tie.

" Ah ah ah… You're not going anywhere mister." Izaiyoi smirked giving him a big kiss on the cheek making his eyes bug out of his head. "Have a good day at school."

"Of course. Izayoi…" Sesshomaru gave her a small peck on the cheek and walked out to his car.

InuYasha glanced at all the passing cars on the bus. Sure he could have rode the limo to school but he wanted to fit in as much as bus went to another stop and loaded a ton of more kids; including Kagome. InuYasha twitched his ears so she would be able to notice him. Kagome made her way to the back of the bus and smiled at InuYasha.

" Hi."

" Do you want the window seat?"

" Nah."

InuYasha scooted over for Kagome and watched her take a seat.

" Oh! Did you do the math homework?"

" Well… I didn't, but my math tutor did."

" Great! Can I see it pretty please!"

" You didn't do your math homework again?" InuYasha laughed digging in his backpack for his math sheet.

" I fell asleep when I got home after school yesterday, and my mom didn't wake me up so I was really mad and well basically I just didn't know how to do it."

" Sounds like a Kagome thing to do…" InuYasha joked handing her two pieces of paper filled with math work that was stapled together.

" I cant help but feel the exhaustion as soon as I sit on the couch." Kagome whined beginning to copy down the notes.

" Then…. Don't sit on the couch."

Kagome glared at him and continued copying. This wasn't the first time she had to do this. If she remembered correctly this was the ninth time she had asked on e her friends for that night's homework. Sometimes, it wasn't even math homework!

The bus finally reached Chichiri Middle School. Kagome sighed offering InuYasha his papers back.

" You can keep them until lunch. I have math during fifth period."

" Thanks!"

" No problem. I'm going to see if I made the basketball team, see you later." InuYasha waved an ran off to the gym.

Kagome made her way to the girl's locker room door and saw Miroku trying to sneak in.

" Good morning… Miroku…" Kagome said not bothering to look at him and walked in. He took this time to follow her in.

He looked around the corner where all the lockers were and the showers were located.

" Where are all the naked girls?"

" It's morning. Once class starts."

" How am I supposed to see them IF I'm locked in English!"

" Why is that my problem…" Kagome sounded not to interested and put her washed P.E. clothes into her locker. She sprayed some body mist on her before slamming her locker shut.

" Miroku! Get outta here!" The muscular gym teacher yelled coming out of her office with a cigar in her mouth. Yeah… when the girl's P.E. teacher knew your name and you were a boy, normally it wasn't under good terms.

" Eeep!" Miroku shrieked running out.

" Good morning Higurashi."

" Good morning Ms. Buff…"

" What was that?"

" I mean Ms. Zuff!"

Ms. Zuff raised an eyebrow blowing out black smoke from her mouth and walked back into her office.

" Kagome!"

Kagome turned around but was tackled by Sango.

" Wow. Good morning to you too Sango. Down puppy…"

Sango laughed and helped up her friend. Kagome sat on the bench continuing to copy down as much as the math homework as she could before the bell rang.

" Has Miroku been in here yet?"

"No doubt."

"He's a retard."

"Come on ladies, out of the locker room. The bell is going to ring soon."

The girl's nodded and exited the locker room. Sango and Kagome were friends when they were little but they got closer because they both join Choir. Nobody knew if they were any good but hey not everyone could sing.

~~~()()()~~~~

Kagome was sitting in her history class with InuYasha watching a video about the Bill of rights. Mrs. Espeleta could show her this video a million times but she still wouldn't be able to tell you what this bill of rights was. In fact, Kagome was a bit too busy with that math homework.

InuYasha sat in the next row a little behind her. He rolled up a piece of scrap paper and flicked it at her. It took about five flicks of paper before she snapped and looked up. InuYasha twitched his ears to let her know that is was him. He waved at her and continued to watch the film.

' oh wait… I was going to ask her something. Good thing I didn't throw this away…' InuYasha took out an old piece of paper from his pocket. It was a reading assignment that they had already gotten a grade on. He got a B+ in case you were wondering…

With his claw he turn a small piece off and rolled it into a ball. He set his wrist on the desk and aimed for Kagome's head again.

"ugh!" Kagome turned around annoyed. " What InuYasha!"

" I just wanted to know…." InuYasha said looking around " If you were finished."

" no…"

" Oh okay…"

Kagome grumbled under her breath and once again, continued.

Kanna sat right behind InuYasha and kicked his chair.

" Hey what was that for!" He said in a whisper but rather harshly.

Kanna held up a nicely folded piece of paper and placed it in his hand.

InuYasha raised an eyebrow, turning around and unfolded the note.

The note read: my friend likes you. ~Kanna ( That doesn't mean it is me that just means I wrote it so don't be idiotic.)

InuYasha swiped his pencil that had fallen on the floor at the beginning of class and wrote back.

Which read: Who?

He slid the note inbetween two of his fingers and handed it back to her.

Kanna: My friend.

InuYasha: Nooooo really!

Kanna: …

InuYasha: What is the girl's name?

Kanna: My apologies but that is classified information.

InuYasha: Then why did you bother telling me?

Kanna: Because she wanted you to know.

InuYasha: Well it wont do the girl any good if I don't who it is…

Kanna: So you'll date her?

InuYasha: I don't know! You wont tell me her name!

Kanna: It isn't that hard to figure out the riddle. Kanna, that's me, has a friend, one, that likes, you, InuYasha.

InuYasha: Wait….. Shiori?

Kanna: … -_- Give the man a prize…

InuYasha: Shiori? When did this happen?

Kanna: She's liked you for a very long time.

InuYasha: I've never seen her talk though… well hardly…

Kanna: She talks to me.

InuYasha: Well duh…

" InuYasha! PSst!" Kagome whispered. " I finally finished!"

InuYasha smiled and took back the math homework.

" Thank you so so so much."

"Your welcome."

()()()()()()()()()()()((()()()()

Lunch time came around pretty quickly. Kagome usually sat by InuYasha, who kikyo sat by, who Miroku sat by, who sango sat by and so on…

Kagome was banging her head constantly on the table while everyone slurped up their ramen.

" Uh….. Kagome?" InuYasha asked pulled her back so she wouldn't injure her head anymore.

" What."

" explain to us why you are trying to get a concussion."

" I spent this morning, and two periods copying the homework and I find out that it was an extra credit assignment and I didn't even have to do it! I stressed out for absolutely nothing." Kagome rested her head on his should and sighed.

" Well, on the bright side…. Your grade in math will be higher!."

" I hate school."

" And I love ramen." InuYasha said picking up his chopsticks again.

" I love girls." Miroku said dreamily.

" I love the color pink." Kikyo said.

" I love to wear women's clothes." Someone mysterious said. Everyone stopped what they were doing. Even InuYasha dropped his chopsticks. They all looked to the side of them.

" Jakotsu!" They all said together in unison.

" Whoa this dude is more perverted than I am!" Miroku said amazed. " Cool…"

" Uh… no I think he meant something along the lines of he wants to be a girl…" Sango whispered in his ear.

"oh… eww…"

()()()()()()()()()

After lunch Kagome and InuYasha just sat in the shade waiting for the bell to ring.

" In History, Kanna told me that Shiori liked me."

" Really?"

" Yeah We were passing notes."

Kagome felt a sudden pain in her heart. " Well… what are you going to do?"

" I''m not sure. That's why I told you because you're my best friend."

Kagome smiled and looked up into the sky. ' that's probably the only thing I'll be to you, inuyasha…'

Please leave a review. It'll help me get better :p
