The Road to Forever

 

-Chapter 1: Exam Day-

 

Inuyasha woke feeling warm and more comfortable than he had ever felt in his entire life. He blinked his eyes as they slowly focused with the sunlight shining in his face. Letting out a yawn he brought his arms up for a stretch only to find that somehow during the night they made their way around the waist of a very warm and sleeping Kagome. Inuyasha blushed at the position he found himself in. The hanyou then preceded to get incredibly nervous.

 

'Shit, if she wakes up to us like this I'm gonna get sat until my face becomes a permanent fixture in the floor. How am I gonna move without waking her up?' Inuyasha knew by looking at the alarm clock located on the right side of the bed on a small table that it was due to go off any minute. 'Damn, I gotta think of something fast!'

 

**RRRIIINNNGGG**

 

Looking around frantically as the sound of the alarm traumatized his sensitive hearing Inuyasha did the only thing he could think of. Jumping wildly out of the bed, throwing Kagome on the floor in the process, he preceded to bash the infuriating contraption with the sheathed Tetsusaiga.

 

Kagome woke with a start after being flung unceremoniously to the floor. "What the….Inuyasha! What the hell do you think you're doing?" She glared dangerously at the hanyou, stood up and turned off her alarm clock before it was destroyed by her very frantic-looking companion.

 

"Keh, I don't know why you bother with that thing when I'm here, you know what happened to the last one, and besides I can always wake you up," Inuyasha tried to explain a little less coldly than what he was trying for as images from his dream the night before flashed back through his mind. 'Damn I gotta get that dream outa' my head before I do something stupid and she starts asking questions.' He quickly looked away as he felt his cheeks grow warm once again.

 

Kagome glared at him again, opened her mouth then closed it. 'I wonder what's up with him, he knows what an alarm clock is by now. Why in the world would he react like that after all this time? Then again, this is Inuyasha, who knows what goes on in his head...' Sighing, she walked out of the room to the bathroom realizing trying to figure out the actions of her friend would take more time than she had at present.

 

Inuyasha let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. 'That was too close. I thought for sure she knew I was up to something.' Sitting back down on the bed, he let his thoughts wander. 'I wonder what's going on with her, she didn't even get angry or sit me. I gotta be more careful next time, I don't even know how I didn't wake up when she got into bed last night. Must have been that great dream I was having, I just didn't want to wake up. I shouldn't be thinking about things like that, it's just not possible. I already have so much with Kagome just being in my life, it would be too much to ask to want even more with her. She can't possibly ever want that with me, I don't deserve it.' With that last thought Inuyasha stood up and made his way downstairs where he could already smell Mrs. Higurashi cooking breakfast.

 

"Good-morning Inuyasha," Mrs. Higurashi sang out in her usual cheery voice.

 

Said hanyou walked over to the table and sat down eyes downcast and muttering "Morning". A cup of ramen was placed in front of him causing him to look up at the woman who put it there.

 

"I made your favourite. Is Kagome awake yet?" Mrs. Higurashi asked while busying herself with cooking breakfast and packing bento boxes.

 

Inuyasha opened his mouth to answer when he was interrupted as Kagome sat down beside him at the table. "Yep, I'm awake and ready for my last exam. I didn't get as much studying done as I hoped, but I think I'll be okay," Kagome answered while her silver-haired companion slurped his ramen beside her.

 

"Well, just do your best dear, you know we are very proud of you," Mrs. Higurashi said placing a plate in front of her and smiling happily.

 

Souta and Grandpa entered the kitchen and the Higurashi family continued in polite conversation through breakfast getting a few one-word answers, a 'Keh' and a 'Feh' from the hanyou at different intervals.

 

Standing up from the table, Kagome placed her dishes in the sink and grabbed her bag, throwing it over her shoulder. "Well, I guess I should be off. I'll see you guys later. Try to behave yourself Inuyasha."

 

"Keh," Inuyasha supplied crossing his arms across his chest as she walked to the door.

 

The exam had went better than Kagome had anticipated and she was relieved it was over. Her friends Yuka, Eri and Ayumi chattered to her about summer vacation, boys, clothes and music as they walked beside her on the way home. The whole way Kagome couldn't get the jewel and the repercussions of the wish off of her mind. She still had another two weeks before classes were officially over. She had decided to go back to the feudal era for a week and then come back to the modern era for a week before she made her wish. Kagome hadn't told Inuyasha and the others of her plans yet and decided that now was a good a time as any as she walked up the steps to the shrine.

 

"Oi, wench it's about time you got back. Now hurry up and get your things, I've been waiting for you all day," Inuyasha ordered from his perch in the Goshinboku.

 

Kagome ignored him walking into the house while biting her tongue to keep from 'sitting' him out of the tree. 'We've been through so much, and it's been two years since the defeat of Naraku and he still acts the same around me,' Kagome thought to herself as she took her shoes off. 'I want to tell him how I feel before I make that wish because I might never get the chance again, but would it even matter? He still doesn't show that he wants me more than just a friend.' Pulling back her tears the girl walked upstairs to start packing.
