The sun shining and birds chirping were supposed to be a great awakening, but for me it seemed like a nightmare. Morning had seemed to sneak up on me and now I was dreading leaving the comfort of my bed in fear of confronting Inuyasha or my mother.

 

Rolling over I was relieved to find that Inuyasha had already rose and taken the futon back, and the best part was that he was no where in sight. Seeing this as I sign I ran to the bathroom shutting the door behind me and began freshening up for breakfast. Brushing my teeth and hair I followed the delicious aroma that invaded my senses and found Sota, -dressed in school uniform-Grandpa and Inuyasha sitting around the kitchen table eating as Mama cooked up a storm.

 

“Kagome have a seat, your omelet will be ready in a minute.” I promptly sat and avoided eye contact with everyone.

 

A plate had been placed in front of me and I began devouring the tasty meal. Maybe things were looking up.

 

“So are you up to school today Kagome?”

 

Then again, maybe not.

 

“Mom, do I really have to go? I already have all of my assignments for the next 2 weeks.” I realized that I sounded a bit whiney, but as desperate as I was I didn't seem to care.

 

“You know how important it is for you to test well next semester, otherwise you won't get into a good college. To be quite frank I don't think your grandfather and I can afford to send you to cram school like we hoped.”

 

“What?” Couldn't I catch a break? First I hit on Inuyasha, second my mother was being super over protective and now I wasn't going to be able to go to cram school meaning I was going to have to work my ass off to test well in my college entrance exam.

 

“I'm really sorry sweetie but expenses came up and we don't have the extra money right now. So maybe you should go to school to help prepare you alright?”

 

I put my best pout as I tried to think of an excuse for getting out of having to go to that hell hole when my mother interrupted, “Inuyasha's doing all better Kagome so I really suggest you go, he'll be fine until you get back.”

 

Now call me crazy but my mother actually sounded- well- mean. Her tone was stern and her face toughened. What the hell was she getting at throwing Inuyasha into this? Finishing my plate I went upstairs to change into my school uniform, all the while trying to figure out what had gotten into my mother.

 

Dressed, I made my way around the shrine looking for Inuyasha to tell him to stay out of trouble and to let him know when I was returning. Heading to the old tree I found my mother instead.

 

“Mom have you seen Inuyasha I wanted to let him know I was leaving.”

 

“Kagome we need to talk.”

 

Oh great, what was it with everyone trying to get into serious conversations lately. However, maybe now I could figure out what was wrong. “Yeah, what is it mama?”

 

She smiled sadly as she placed her hand over my shoulder, “Kagome, I'm sorry about how I've been acting it's just that you're a young lady now and I know how you feel about Inuyasha. You two sleeping in the same room made me realize that I don't know where or how you two sleep in the feudal era. Now, I know we've never discussed sex or how far the two of you have gone but please don't ruin your future. You're a bright girl and I don't think bringing a child into the world right now is in your best interest.”

 

My face was burning scarlet and smoke was coming from my ears, I was embarrassed and infuriated. “WHAT!?”

 

“Kagome calm down, all I'm saying is to take things slow, I know that being young and in love can sometimes blind you of the-

 

“Mom stop.” Taking in a deep breath I tried to relax my aura in hopes of being able to rationalize with my mother. “Mom, Inuyasha and I don't sleep together, we never have and if it makes you happy we probably never will. He's still too much in love with Kikyo and I can respect that. And even if for some unexplained phenomena we were to take that step I really don't think you have any right to tell me that it would be ruining my life! It's not like I would quit school and make you raise my baby, I would take full responsibility if I became pregnant.”

 

“Kagome-

 

“No Mom. I can't believe that you don't trust my decisions. Believe it or not, I know what I'm doing, or at least I think I know. All you need to hear is that I'm happy okay. The way things are right now make me happy, and that's all I need. If me being here with Inuyasha is going to upset you we could always go back.”

 

I turned clutching my back, “If you see Inuyasha please tell him I'll be home at 4 and we're heading back.”

Walking away from my mother I felt a warm drop of water hit my shirt and then I noted that I had been crying. Wiping the tears from my face I walked faster trying to catch the bus and maybe trying to run away from my mother's harsh words.

*&^%%^&*((**

 

School hadn't been as bad as I thought it would have been; maybe it was because I was in my own little world replaying my earlier conversation with my mother. What she said made sense, she was just scared of my sleeping with Inuyasha and that's why she didn't want us sleeping in the same room. But still the way she went about it was all wrong and now if I didn't let Inuyasha sleep in the same room he would feel useless, and if I did she would think we were having sex.

 

Well I had a news flash for her, she was going to have to learn to trust me and believe me when I told her nothing was going on, or we were going back to feudal Japan.

 

Lunch time had arrived before I knew it and it was then that I realized that turning that little spout with my mother I had left my lunch on the counter as well as my money. Was it just me or did my life suck a whole lot worse here?

 

I made my way to a few picnic tables that were scattered across the courtyard. I loved to sit on the farthest one because there was an old cherry blossom that shaded the table and it reminded me of our old tree at home. I sat down and took advantage of this time to read some chapters in my history book hoping to get ahead.

 

“Did you see that incredibly hot hunk?”

 

“Oh yeah, man I wonder who he's looking for.”

 

I looked up from my reading to glare at the two girls passing by who had interrupted my study time and noticed that many people were looking towards some visitor on campus.

 

Shrugging off any interest I began reading once again, pushing out any distractions. It wasn't until a shadow feel over my book that I realized someone was standing in front of me. Praying to kami that it wasn't Hojo I looked up to be met with a pair of violet orbs.

 

“Are you okay?” His voice sounded strangely calming and smooth with no harshness at all behind his words.

 

“Inuyasha what are you doing here?” Panicking I stood up looking around to make sure we didn't get noticed. Unfortunately the whole student body was currently staring, mostly just girls gawking.

 

“I figured it would be okay you know since I don't have-

 

He pointed to the top of his head and it hit me. Laughing I sat back down motioning for him to join me. “Oh man I had completely forgotten, sorry I guess it was just a habit.”

 

“Good I was beginning to think you weren't happy to see me,” he said using his shoulder to push me slightly. Was he flirting?

 

“So what was wrong with you this morning, there was the smell of tears near the tree and your mom told me that we were leaving when you got home.”

 

Sighing I tried to think of an excuse for the fight between my mother and I. I couldn't possibly tell him the truth, it was just too embarrassing.

 

“You owe me you know.”

I was totally not prepared for that, “Why what are you talking about?”

 

Shoving a brown bag in front of my face I recognized it immediately, he had brought my lunch. I took it from him and hugged him tightly, “Thank you so much Inuyasha I was starving!” Pulling away I noticed a blush on his cheeks and felt stupid for my action.

 

First I kiss him then I hug him, yeah things were going just peachy. “Wait you didn't eat it did you?” I asked him teasingly.

 

“What?! I most certainly did not! Honestly, why do I even bother trying to be nice to you?”

 

Laughing I opened my bag and began eating my lunch quickly so I would still have time to talk to Inuyasha before the next half of school started. “Are you sure you don't want some?” I offered.

 

“No you eat, besides your mom fed me before I came here.”

 

“No wonder you didn't eat my food!” I teased. He blushed again and we spent the next half hour acting as normal as we usually did. When he was leaving I thanked him again for bringing my food and turned to go back into the building.

 

“Kagome?”

 

“Yeah what is it Inuyasha?”

 

“Are we still leaving after school?”

 

During my whole lunch break I had forgotten about the fight with my mother, and strangely I just didn't seem so mad anymore. “Well, we'll give it another shot okay?”

 

He nodded his head and gave me a small smile that meant more than any supportive thing he could have said.

 

Making my way through the halls I tried hard to ignore the glances I was receiving from everyone. I'm sure it had something to do with the fact that to them I was just some girl who was sick a lot and never came to school, so it might have been hard for them to understand why I had such a cute friend visiting.

 

Oh well, I had toughened up over the years and right then I didn't give a damn what anyone thought. Inuyasha had made me feel so much better that I wasn't going to let anyone get me down.
