"Why the hell do you have to go to your time anyway?!?!"
"I HAVE to go Inu-Yasha!" the fight began as usual when Kagome had to leave for her time. Inu-Yasha somehow just didn't get the concept that tests are pretty big, life threatening if you looked at it that way.
"This is my semester exam, if I don't take it I will fail this YEAR, my family will be angry and they will never let me come back here until I bring my grade up and that will never happen if I fail"
"Then stay here with me and find the Jewel" Inu-Yasha drawled out flippantly as he looked to the side at a nearby twig. His face was starting to look like an over ripe tomato. If Kagome didn't know better, she would have sworn that she could see steam coming from his ears. "I can't! What part of that do you not understand!" swinging her legs over the well, she threw her things over at the same time. "I will see you in a few days. Good bye!" as she started to climb down the well, she suddenly thought of something. Poking her head over the side of the well, she yelled "AND STAY HERE!!!!!!!!!" Not that it did any good, he just 'humphed' as usual, turned a cold shoulder and stalked away. Kagome sighed and jumped to the bottom home.
"Geez! Why does he have to be so childish? It's not like I'm NEVER going to come back," Kagome confided to herself as she lugged not only her ever encompassing backpack but the metal contraption known today as a bicycle.
"Kagome!! Hello Kagome!!" screeched the unexpected Souta down the well. In a testicular motion of alarm, Kagome let go of the side of the wall and flew down to the ground with a loud thump, soon followed by a 'thud' as the bicycle landed directly on top of her. "Oooww," she whispered to herself as Souta kept talking to her in a high pitched, almost ecstatically frantic voice.
"You'll never guess what happened today at school! I TALKED TO A GIRL!! A real live one too! I didn't run away or nothun'! Hey…are you okay?" Souta asked as he finally realized she wasn't talking back. He peered down the well to find a mashed Kagome with little swirly things in her eyes.

By the time Kagome got out of the well, unpacked her things, and ate dinner, it was already her bed time. Although sleepy, Kagome was determined not to fall asleep since her entrance exams were tomorrow. Opening the book to the page she desired, she began to skim the page, unknowing as to Inu-Yasha's whereabouts.

He looked outside from his branch and into her room staring at her with a rather unhappy look on his face. When was she going to be finished? Hopefully tonight, maybe sooner…or much later? How was he supposed to become full youkai if she wasn't dedicated enough to spend ALL her time with him? Better find out now.

Kagome was in her house, in her room, at her desk totally alone and minding her own business when she heard a sudden scratching at her window. 'Stupid Buyo, getting stuck at the window again are you?' Kagome thought to herself. As she turned around and looked up to the window, she noticed a rather dirty little youkai staring back at her, scratching at window. "SIT!!" Kagome screamed. A loud "Kerthunk!!" sounded the house along with groaning as Inu-Yasha hit the floor with bone breaking force.

A whiles away, there was someone else watching them through a shining orb. Hauntingly red eyes glowed through the darkness, peering at the laminating ball which contained the scene between Inu-Yasha and Kagome. "Yessss, my beloved….soon….soon …you and I will meet again…."

The day started out as a normal day; bright and warm as any spring mid-morning should, however, a chilling wind swept through the class room as Kagome sat at her desk, glaring at the black board. Gripping her pencil so tightly, the skin around her knuckles turned a ghostly white.
"Kagome-chan, is there something wrong?" asked a rather peppy and in Kagome's current mood, annoying. The pencil in Kagome's hand began to splinter and finally buckled over and snapped in a loud 'crack'. "Nothing!" she cried out in sunny delight, only to be betrayed by the ticking of her eye. 'Nothing save for the fact that I'm trying to REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT I STUDIED last night and no thanks to you air heads I'll probably forget!' she thought to herself.
"Oh...Okay!! Say...now that you're feeling better, how is your relationship with Hojo coming along?" the sunny girl whispered back, totally unaware of Kagome's mood. Magically, out of the air, the entire class suddenly gathered around her, straining to hear what she had to say in eager silence. Kagome's right eye began to twitch in an even more furious angst as she felt the hot and wanting breath of just about everyone on her neck and in her face. She could feel something cold and prickly swell in her palms, not too unlike the first encounter with Mistress Centipede. Just as that energy began to peak, the teacher came in a bustle of papers and apology as the class hopped back to their seats, looking a lot like really big Myouga's in a frenzy. Kagome let out a long and stressed sigh as she felt the cold prickling wash up through her arms and dissipate.
"Alright Class, time for the exam! I know that all of you have been stressed over this,"
-'Yeah, tell me about it,' Kagome thought to herself'-
"So now is the time to show me just how much you stressed. Start your exams...now" In a flurry of paper and pencils clicking on desks, the exams began. Opening her packet with a crisp sigh from the papers, Kagome proceeded to go over the various formulas and postulates of her test.

"What can you see Shipppo?" Inu-Yasha savagely whispered.
"Nothing! Throw me higher!" the little Kitsune whispered back. For the last five minutes, Inu-Yasha had been throwing Shippo up to various windows to see if Kagome was done yet (much to the dissatisfaction of the tiny shape shifter). "Inu-Yasha, I'm getting a tummy ache, you go up there!"
"NO! They'll see me!"
"What about down here! They can see you down here too dog-turd!!"
"It has more cover dumbass!" Inu-Yasha clipped out
"Oh yeah, A FUCKING BUSH!" Inu-Yasha's clawed hand clamped down on the tiny Kitsune's mouth in an attempt to silence him.
"A bush is better than nothing," he whispered hoarsely. "No go back up there!"
"This shouldn't be considered a bush! It's more like a god-damn twig with a few leaves on it!"
"Better...than...nothun'" Growled Inu-Yasha between clenched teeth. He then grabbed Shippo by the rim of his neck and threw him up into the air. Inu-Yasha must have been a lot more angry than he was letting on since poor Shippo slammed into the glass with a loud "THUD!"
"Oh Fuck!" Shippo cried out as he simultaneously popped himself into what was supposed to look like a crow (he looked more like radioactive possum with wings).
"SHIT!!" Inu-Yasha clipped out as her ran to hide up in a rather anemic tree. The poor plant only bowed underneath his weight. When he tried to stand up and find another spot to hide, the tree retaliated by flinging him onto a window also. "Ooohhh" he growled against the window. Thankfully, the classroom was unoccupied but a 'Hey!' sounded the garden grounds, right below him. In a frenzy to get away, he ran straight up the roof and landed noisily as he crashed to strange metal pipes coming from the roof. When Inu-Yasha finally got the nerve to look over the edge, he found that the alleged call of anger was in fact from a boy who was merely greeting a friend. He let out a sigh of relief just before he was attacked by a strange looking bird which slammed right into his stomach.
"Way to go Sherlock!!" the flapping contraption formerly known as Shippo yelled.
"Who the hell is Shirt-lock and it's your fault any way!"
"You're the one who threw me into THE FUCKING WINDOW!!"
"Shut up fox," Inu-Yasha growled as he grabbed Shippo by the tail and thrust him over the side of the roof to look into one of the windows. "What do you see?" he called out.
"Nothing! IT'S THE DAMN WALL!!"

Meanwhile….

Just as the minute hand creeped onto the last minute of her test, Higurashi Kagome finished her exam with and agonized chirp of satisfaction. The chair screeched against the floor in its' melancholy notes as she got up with her stack of papers to saunter heavily to the teachers desk. "Thank You. How do you think you did?" Kagome looked to the floor and twisted her toe into the floor. "I don't think I did very well Katori-sensei ,"(A.N. I hope that's the right way to address teachers).
"Oh? And why not? You weren't feeling well at all were you? Maybe I should give you an extension."
"No thank you, I'm pretty sure I did better than I would have if I had not gotten home in time," By the time Kagome had caught her blunder, the teacher was already staring at her with a wide eyed expression.
"Don't tell me you…" the teacher went on in shocked amazement. Kagome flinched away from what the teacher was bound to say. How could she have done that?! She was going to be labeled a maniac and put into a psych ward where she would no longer be able to go back to Inu-Yasha and the others and… "You almost died didn't you Higurashi! Oh you poor, poor dear! I never knew the gravity of you situation!" At hearing that, Kagome did a 100% face vault onto the floor that teacher took as fainting.
