The summer flew by in a flash. School would be starting in two weeks. Everyone was getting ready to make the move. Kagome, Rin and Sango had gone furniture shopping during that last few weeks, to purchase any furniture that wouldn't be moved into the new house with them. She wanted things to be set up before the others moved in the next week, so she was going over this week to make sure everything was delivered and set up. Inuyasha would be coming with her to help and keep her company.
Kagome and Inuyasha loaded up Kagome's car with boxes of clothes, dishes, pots, pans, and other items they would need throughout the week. Then the climbed in and headed to their new home. There was no big production for their departure because they would be back at the end of the week to help everyone else get packed.
Kagome and Inuyasha had been driving for a while when Kagome turned to Inuyasha. "Are you nervous at all?" she asked.
"About what?" Inuyasha wondered if she was nervous about being alone with him while they waited for deliveries, and got things set up for their roommates. It wouldn't be the first time they'd been alone together. He'd spent several weeks with her alone in her house when they'd first met. Her mom had been out of town and she didn't like staying alone. Since he had nowhere else to stay, she had asked him to stay with her. She had barely known him then. Why would she be worried now, when she knew him better?
"About starting college and being away from home. I mean we're not that far away, but we're adults now. It just seems like it's all starting to happen so fast. What if I flunk out of college? What if it's too difficult for me?"
Inuyasha quietly let out the breath he'd been holding. He was silently grateful she wasn't afraid of being alone with him. He was glad they'd have some time to just them with no mothers, or friends around. He hadn't had time like this with Kagome since her mom had come home from the hospital after her accident. He missed the one on one time with Kagome.
Inuyasha stopped his thoughts and focused on what Kagome was saying. He glanced at her for a second before he put his eyes back on the road, knowing she'd yell at him if he looked at her longer than that. "You won't flunk out. You're smarter than you like to let yourself believe you are. Besides, me, Miroku, Sango and Rin will all be here to help you. We'll be here helping each other through the transition. You know, we're really lucky because we have such close friends to help each other with all these changes. Think of all the people here who don't have the same support system we do."
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Kagome sighed and let the subject drop. He was right, she had a wonderful support system. She had the best group of friends in the whole world. They'd help each other overcome anything.
Several hours later, they pulled up to the new house.
