Chapter 5

"Ok Kagome I need to know every single detail of Shikon High." Sango eagerly shakes Kagome's shoulders the moment they go into Kagome's bedroom. Kagome manages to stop the shaking. "Calm down Sango. I was there for one day." Sango keeps her hold. "I know and I don't want to miss a thing what goes on there. So tell me!" This time, Kagome manages to release Sango's grip. "Ok for one, its classes are the same thing back at Sakura Hills." Kagome said as she goes into her closet to find something else to wear instead of the Shikon Uniform.

"Ok. Anything else?" Sango sits onto Kagome's bed. Kagome comes out in green sweatpants and a white large t-shirt with a cat's head on it. "There are security cameras in every aspect of the building." Kagome adds the missing detail as she begins to brush her hair. "I guess that place isn't really private." Sango comments playfully. Kagome giggles. "Not only that. It'd be as if in the middle of class, the teachers would have a set of eyes on the back of their heads. So note passing is noticed." Kagome turns her chair around. "At least the teacher will know that bullying will not go unpunished." Sango points out. "Yeah. So it's technically safe there. But there's one rule that everyone has to follow." Kagome said. "Tell me!" Sango smiles big. "No one is allow to ask someone else out." Kagome said in a straight face. "As in the school itself?" Sango raises her eyebrow.

"Oh yeah, I was almost going to be asked out." Kagome smirks. Sango gives her own. "Oooh. What was the guy like? It wasn't those two guys who dropped you off." Kagome shakes her head. "Nope. Not those two. It was a completely different guy. His name is Koga, cute, lean, with his long black hair pulled up into a high ponytail. He even has icy blue eyes. But he's arrogant." Kagome describes the guy who tried to ask her out. "Ooh what happened next?" Sango begs the girls. "Like I said about that rule, Inuyasha had to intervene and escort me home." Sango had to laugh at the last part.

"I have to admit Kagome, that there's some restrictions. From banning dates, to eavesdropping. I guess that you have to be careful with your personal stuff. What about the cell phone rule?" Sango holds her chin. Kagome pulls out her phone from her backpack inner pocket. "Nothing. We have our times to check up on things like calls or texting. But nothing." Kagome explains as she went through her phone to see anything out of the ordinary happened to it. Sango shrugs her shoulders. "Who knows? Maybe tomorrow will be different." Kagome smiles as she nods her head.

Inuyasha pulls up to his parking spot in the garage. He enters through the kitchen. "I'm home." He calls out to see that the patio chairs are occupied by two individuals. He slides the patio door and comes out. "Oh Inuyasha. Welcome home." Izayoi greets him warmly. Inuyasha smiles back. "And I see you have dad out here too." Inuyasha turns his gaze to his father in casual wear instead of a business attire. Toga is in a pair of dad jeans and a black t-shirt. "Aren't you supposed to be at work?" Inuyasha asks him curiously.

Toga chuckles. "I decided to take today off to help your mother with her gardening." Inuyasha doesn't seem convinced by that answer. "Come on dad. From the looks of your outfit, I don't see any dirt on any of your clothes or on your claws. You're just playing hooky." Inuyasha states out the facts as he takes his spot in the empty patio chair.

"Tsk tsk tsk. My son, you should not be so rude about my position. True I have to do a lot of work to keep our existence alive, but you're just a pup and you still have a lot to know about the exchange program between Shikon High and Sakura Hills." Toga wiggles his claw finger in the air. "What about it? All I know is that I have to escort the girl Kagome from her house to Shikon and back to her house." Inuyasha tells his father. "Exactly. But there's something else you need to know about her." Toga sits up as he takes a sip of his water from the table next to him. "What about her? I have Kikyo. Remember?" Inuyasha reminds his parents at the last part.

A few seconds have passed. "Yeah, Kikyo is indeed your girlfriend, but unfortunately, she's not your mate. Kagome is." Izayoi spoke this time, making Inuyasha confused. "I'm sorry. What?" Inuyasha stands back up angrily. "Inuyasha. You heard her. Kagome is your mate. Not Kikyo." Toga keeps his posture. "And makes you think that you're right about this?" Inuyasha is doing everything he can to remain calm about this. Toga digs into his jeans pocket and pulls out his smartphone. "This is your answer." Toga hands over the phone to Inuyasha. Inuyasha reads what the screen shows. "No way that this is true." Inuyasha hands the phone.

"Hey, I'm just telling you what I was told by the two schools' council." Toga calmly said back to him. Inuyasha growls and goes back inside, slamming the patio door closed. Izayoi looks up to Toga with worry. "Do you think it was too soon to tell him? He's only in high school. Kids at his age aren't even ready to commit." Toga sighs as he sits back down. "I was hoping to wait for another year at the latest but since the exchange program kicked, the council believed that it's best that Inuyasha's informed." Izayoi nods. "I wish this didn't happen. His education comes first. After all, you want him to take over your business when that time comes."

Toga nods. "True, and I honestly agree with you. But even though I'm the most powerful dog demon in existence, there are things that I'm not allowed to get involved in. Even if it's Inuyasha. The council may be or is just as powerful as I am. However I can't simply tell that them no." Izayoi takes his claw hand into her own. Toga can see that Izayoi is worried about their son. He wraps his one arm around her.

Inuyasha goes to his bedroom, slamming the door behind him. "Who gets to decide my relationship when I already have one? Who do they think they are?" He growls. His cell phone chimes. He opens the screen to see that he has a text from Kikyo. He slides the screen on and reads the message. At the end of it, Inuyasha's bangs cover his golden eyes. All he does is place the phone on his night stand face up, leaving the screen on before going into the bathroom.

Inuyasha, I just want to let you know that if I can't be with you everyday since we met, I don't see us being together anymore. I don't want to do this, but I think it's best that we break up. I know for sure that there's someone else who is better for you than me. I'm truly sorry.

Kikyo
