*~~~~~@~@~@~~~~~*

º"Are you okay Kagome?"

"Y-yes I'm fine."

"Okay then have a good day."

"Bye."

There was a crash as the Higurashi's phone clattered to the floor and Kagome was left standing there wide eyed and in shock, she kept muttering, "it can't be..." over and over again.º

*~@~*

Kagome laid down on her bed and stared up at the ceiling.

'How did this happen?! It's so Ironic! I'm allergic to the one I love, Whoa where did that come from? Do I really love him? I guess I do... but what do I do? I can't believe that I'm allergic to dogs-'

"Oi Wench!" A rough voice broke through her thoughts.

"I-Inuyasha, what are you doing here?!" Kagome exclaimed as she ran to the farthest corner of her room and then held a pillow in front of her face, as if she were hiding from her friend.

"What do you think I'm doing here, it's time to go collect shards you said that you would be back in one day, and it's been two! Can't you tell time- hey what are you doing now?" During Inuyasha's daily rant, Kagome had been inching closer and closer to the door of her bedroom, trying hard not to sneeze or cough.

"I just have to g- achoo! Go to the bathroom achoo! I'll be right back!" She said quickly as she ran out of her bedroom, leaving a speechless hanyou.

"Something tells me she's trying to avoid me." Inuyasha said to himself as he began to follow his shard detector.

~*@*~

He found her in the kitchen, organizing her bag while Mrs. Higurashi bustled around a big metal box which was emitting tantalizing smells which made his mouth water.

"Ah, Inuyasha, it's good to see you again." She said as she turned around. "Kagome, if you don't hurry, you'll be late for school." She continued. "I know mom, Inuyasha you'll just have to go back to the Feudal Era. I'll be back after school I promised- achoo! OK! Bye Everybody!"

She said all this eyeing Inuyasha and running out the door.

"Higurashi-san, why does it seem like Kagome is avoiding me?"Inuyasha asked when he'd finally realized that Kagome had left.

"So I'm not the only one who noticed. Take a seat." Kagome's mother said as she began setting the table and nodded towards a chair. "Did you say anything to her that might have offended her?"

"I'm not sure." He said grudgingly.

"Well, when did this start?" The older woman prodded.

"It all started when she caught that cold back in the Feudal Era… She returned home and now won't come near me. Did the cold mess with her brain or something?" the depressed dog hanyou asked.

"Cold? Kagome said the doctor's diagnosis was a severe allerg- oh no…." Mrs. Higurashi's mind was quick to put together the peaces. "Inuyasha, I want you to sit down."

"Higurashi-san, I'm already sitting down."

"Oh yes, well then hold on to something. You see, it's not that Kagome is avoiding you. From what you've told me and from what Kagome told me, I have come to the conclusion that Kagome Is allergic to dogs… and that includes you." She gave Inuyasha a minute to let this sink in.

"No, no she can't be! What Gods hate me so much to let this happen?! Oh the woe! Oh the agony! Why oh why me? Hey Higurashi-san?" Inuyasha shouted.

"Yes dear?"

"What does allergic mean?"

~*~*~*~*@*~*~*~*~

"Thank gosh Math is over, I'll never understand that if my life depended on it. At least now I can relax." Kagome sighed to herself as she began to head to fifth period, lunch.

"Higurashi!" A voice sang.

"Oh no. Why now. Greetings Hojou-kun." As she said that she turned aotround and came face to face with our favorite dense idiot.

"Higurashi! I'm glad to see that you, my sweet, are back to good health. Here are some medicated Zori Sandals… they are said to reduce a headache. I hope you, my darling will use them."

"Thank you Hojou-kun, they're… lovely. Well, I must be getting to lunch."

"Wait! I mean I'll walk you down." They began walking together.

"Honey, I was also wondering if you would possibly go to the movies with me on Saturday, if you're feeling well."

"Hojou-kun I'm sorry I'm busy."

"Well, what about Sunday?"

"I can't."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Are you positive?"

"Yes."

"Are you-"

"Hojou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give it a rest! Yes I'm certain! I don't want to go out with you, I don't want you calling me Honey or whatever! You're a dense idiot who can't seem to get it through his skull!"

"Are you certain, my pet?"

"AAAAAAAHHHH!" Kagome stomped on his foot and ran out of the school. This was just too much.

~*~*~*~*@*~*~*~*~

"So let me get this straight. I'm going to kill Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, trying to get this whole matter to make sense.

"No, not intentionally, Inuyasha. A certain dander or chemical that dogs give off is what will kill her… if she gets too close and stays around them long enough."

"But all she was doing was sneezing. That doesn't seem very fatal." Inuyasha argued.

"I called the doctor about that. What she said was that it will start out as only a minor allergic reaction at first. And then it will start to get worse." Kagome's mother reasoned.

"But what are we going to do about shard hunting?!" Inuyasha yelled exasperated.

"I'm not quite sure... perhaps I should go get Kagome from school and-" She was interrupted as her daughter ran in through the door mumbling something about an isosceles triangle and dense school boys.

"Hi mom… I couldn't stand it at school, because Hojou-" Kagome started.

"Higurashi- san may I?" Inuyasha interrupted.

Kagome's mother only nodded.

Kagome watched the exchange. "What's going on her- Hey!" She screamed as Inuyasha dragged her upstairs by her arm and flung her on her bed momentarily sitting down next to her.

He got up and walked over to the door, closed and blocked it. "Kagome? We need to talk."

To be continued…

Author's note: I'm so sorry about the horrendous lateness of this chapter. It sure has been a while. I've been having family roblems which are almost resolved as of now. So I'll try to be updating every weekend and I'll try for two chapters this weekend but I can't promise anything. Oh! And please review!

Until Next time…
