Kagome returned to school the next day, feeling weary and as though she had been broken and then put back together wrong.

Her head kept jumping around and she thought she saw Sesshoumaru on more than one occasion. She knew the haughty demon would probably never be seen by her again after their meeting yesterday, so she thought she had surely lost her mind. She didn't answer when spoken to, and didn't hear and thing anyone said, finally Hojo pulled her off to the side at lunch.

Looking at her with concern and love in his eyes that made Kagome sick, knowing she would never look at him like that, she turned her back and began to walk away when he didn't say anything.

"Kagome, wait!"

She stopped in her tracks and looked over her shoulder, "Yes, Hojo?"

He began, "I," then faltered a bit, looking down at the ground and taking a wary step towards her, "We're worried about you Kagome, everyone's worried about you."

Kagome closed her eyes and fought back the guilt that rose up inside her like some awful beast, "Hojo, I'm…sorry."

"We all just want you to be happy, these last few weeks, you have been so distant, unlike yourself. No one knows what to do anymore, we want to know what's wrong."

She saw silver hair sparkle in the sun and whirled around, suddenly angry, "Well, you know what Hojo? I'd like to know what's wrong with me too! You don't think I'd like to just forget everything that happened and go back to the way I was? Is that what you think! I hate this, I hate living like this, but I can't say anything unless I want to be carted off to the fucking insane asylum! So, next time, Hojo, why don't you keep your concerns to yourself!"

With that, Kagome turned around and stopped off in the opposite direction, ignoring Hojo's voice that called out to her

She marched past her friends and their shocked expressions, she marched all the way into the administrators office and looked at the secretary, "I'd like to pull myself out of school!"

After all .before the well sent her back, she had already completed school, so why should she stay here, it was a waste of her time.

"Uh, um," the secretary stumbled over her words and began shuffling through papers, "Well, dear, we need your parents to fill out a few forms," she handed Kagome a small folder filled with…forms," when they're completed, just bring them back to me, and you'll be all set."

Kagome took the folder and muttered a quiet thank you before storming out of the office.

She left the school grounds, she started heading for home before she realized her mother had come home early, evidently the wreck wasn't as severe as her sister's husband had made it seem.

Kagome was at a loss of where to go and just sat down on a nearby bench in a small, quiet park. She looked through the forms quickly before setting the manila folder down beside her, she bent over and cradled her head in her hands as her thoughts raced around wildly.

I don't know what's going on, I don't know what's happening, I keep seeing him everywhere. Am I losing my mind?

Her mind flashed back to yesterday afternoon, she felt almost ashamed at how weak she had been, but his appearance so disturbed her, and shocked her, she couldn't hold onto that strong façade that had been her saving grace for so long. She sat up and looked around her, she felt heavy warmth surround her and knew at once what it was, "Sesshoumaru! I know you're there! Come out and show yourself, I won't be toyed with any longer!"

A cruel laugh echoed, "If I was playing with you miko, it would be obvious, I am merely studying a subject which intrigues me."

He jumped down from a tree and landed in front of her, "My, my miko, that really was quite an outburst back there, I never knew you had such fire beneath that weak exterior."

Kagome released a poor imitation of one of Inuyasha's growls and stared hard at Sesshoumaru, "I don't know why you're her, or why you've chosen to follow, but I want you to stop."

He laughed that cruel laugh again, " And you think I would take orders from a human bitch, it would do well if you watch your mouth from now on."

Kagome's aura flared, "I never liked it when Inuyasha called me that, what makes you think you can!"

With that, she slammed her hands on his chest and sent a bolt of holy powers surging through him.

He snarled viciously and backed her up against a tree, "Bitch, you will not attempt that again!"

She whimpered as he pressed her harder against the rough bark of the tree, "Understand?"

Kagome nodded her head submissively and he released her, immediately backing away a few feet, she may have just agreed not to injure him, nothing said she wouldn't try it again.

Kagome slumped against the tree and looked away, "Sesshoumaru, why are you looking for Inuyasha, and why did you come her to find him?"

She turned to face him with tears in her eyes, "Why did you think he would be here?"

He found no answer to her question and simply remained silent, she continued looking at him, hurt by his silence.

Kagome sighed deeply after a few minutes of silence and stood up, she walked toward him and looked at the clothes he was wearing.

Simple black slacks paired with a white, long sleeved button down shirt, " You have been in the future long?"

He nodded his head, "Yes, I have managed to survive the centuries."

Kagome nodded her head in understanding, "I, apologize, for my outburst."

He didn't answer.

"I, I'm taking myself out of school, and I'm leaving my home, so, there's no point in you continuing to follow me."

He looked down at her with burning eyes, "I will do as I please, miko."

Kagome nodded," Yes, you would, wouldn't you."

"Where will you go, certainly it is not safe for a woman to be on her own, especially with no shelter."

Kagome looked away and shrugged, "I can find somewhere."

He growled quietly, annoyed beyond reason that he would have to do this.

"I have a flat in the city, more than enough room for two people, I cannot let you wander the streets with my honor still valid."

Kagome looked at him, the sparkle of hope in her eyes, "Really? I could, stay with you?"

He nodded his head curtly, "If you wish."

Kagome smiled, "Thank you so much! I'll only stay there a little while just until I get a place of my own, Thank you so much!" she bowed deeply before straightening up again.

He turned on his heel, before stopping, " Tomorrow, I except you outside the shrine steps waiting for me, with you necessities, I do not wait for humans, so be there at seven p.m.exactly."

Kagome nodded, "Yes, Sesshoumaru."
