"Daddy can I stay home today please?"
Inuyasha looked up from the morning dishes towards his son in the doorway. "Now why would you want to do something like that Ryu?"
"I don't feel so good. I think I'm sick so I need to stay home today."
"Really?" Inuyasha put the last dish in the drain and dried his hand.
He reached into the cabinet above the microwave and pulled out a bottle with orange liquid. Ryu made a face and stepped back.
"Daddy I don't need that."
"You said that you were sick and sick children need to take their medicine." Inuyasha shook the bottle a little.
Ryu's eyes widened and shook his head vigorously. "I think I'm better now!"
Inuyasha chuckled as he watched his son run up the stairs to his room. Already in the third grade and he's using the ' I'm not feeling well' excuse. After making sure all of the TVs and the stove were off Inuyasha stood by the front door.
"Ryu let's go! You're going to be late."
"I'm coming dad, and aren't you going to be late too if I'm late?" Ryu questioned as he walked out the house.
"I'm the co-owner of Kizuma Law and Justice. The most I'll get is a glare and a growl from your uncle." Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he got in the car and started the engine.
Ryu looked at the house again and sighed. He had a reason for wanting to stay home from school. His homework wasn't done, yet again, and his teacher was checking the class's workbooks today. If his teacher called his dad he'd be in trouble for not doing the work and for lying. His dad was going to kill him.
The car ride was mostly silent except for the low sound of music playing from the speakers. As soon as Inuyasha pulled up in front of the school Ryu hopped out the car. Inuyasha followed making sure his son got to his classroom safely.
"Listen Ryu, your mom is going to pick you up after school today."
"Ok." Ryu replied his head hanging low. He hated visiting his mother.
"It's only until tomorrow night. You'll be back home before you know it." Inuyasha said ruffling the young hanyou's hair.
"I know."
The bell rang and all the late students hurried into their classrooms. Inuyasha softly rubbed the small triangle ears on his son's head and gave him a hug. "That's your que kid. Behave yourself alright."
"I will. I love you daddy." Ryu hugged his father back and went into his classroom.
Inuyasha smiled and left the building getting back into his car. His phone rang as he started the engine.
"Hello…dammit Sesshomaru I'm on my way! Stop yelling!" He pressed the end button to stop the ranting of his older brother.
He just knew today was going to be a lovely day.

Kagome Higurashi, teacher of class 3-A, was about to lose her mind and her temper. Normally her students didn't annoy her and were extremely well behaved, but today they were on the verge of pushing her last button. Talking back, talking while she was teaching, throwing paper balls across the room. Everything the brats could think of doing they did. Kagome couldn't wait until her break.
Speaking of her break, it should be time for lunch and recess. Kagome looked at her watch then addressed the class.
"Alright guys it's time for your lunch break, but before I let you leave, I want your homework from Wednesday."
The children all groaned but got their workbooks out anyway, all except one of course.
"I'm going to call you up by rows and you can leave once you hand me your workbook."
Ryu squirmed in his seat as his teacher called up the first row. He couldn't get out of this today. It was the third time he didn't do his homework and to make matters worse, he had two days to do it. He was toast.
"Second Row."
His row was next. Ryu thought through a bunch of excuses, but none of them were good enough. He was dead. His dad was going to kill him.
'Ryu, this is the last time I'm going to talk to you about your homework. Next time I get a phone call from school your butt is mine.'
Ryu's ears flattened on his head as Kagome called his row up.
Kagome watched the reactions of her students and knew immediately who didn't do their work. When she called up the third row, she saw Ryu's ears fall to his head. One by one the third row gave up their books, except Ryu.
"Ryu where's your workbook?" Kagome asked the small hanyou.
Ryu took a deep breath. It was now or never. "I um… I left it at home." Man that was LAME!
Kagome raised one eyebrow as she looked at her student. "You left it at home huh?"
"Um… yes ma'am. I forgot it, but I can bring it tomorrow."
"Uh-huh. Fourth row come up please. Ryu bring me your bag."
"What? Why?" Ryu began to panic. Ms. Higurashi's never done this before.
"Because I said so Ryu. Don't argue with me." Kagome took the fourth row's books and called up the last row.
Defeated, Ryu went to his desk and got his bag. He handed it to his teacher and left for lunch when she dismissed him.
This was going to be a lovely day.
