*&*%$#@^*

 

I couldn't have been happier to hear the last bell. Loading up my bag with all my books I made my way down the hall and stairs trying not to run out of there and never look back. I was about two steps away from the gate when I heard my name being called.

 

Turning back I saw Eri and Yuri running towards me with smiles on their faces. “Kagome, it's so good to see you at school, you must be feeling better.”

 

“Yeah I am.”

 

“So do you think you'll still be feeling good next Friday? Cause if you are then you can go to the autumn formal with us!” Eri's enthusiasm made me wonder how I had ever tried to fit in with my old friends when my personality was so different.

 

“Well, I don't really know I mean I usually don't make plans that far in advance because you know the spells come and go.”

 

“Oh we understand, don't we Eri,” Yuri said nudging her friend hard.

 

“Ow! Well, if you change your mind you can go with us, cause I doubt Ami will want to go with us, I mean especially since she knows about Hojo's old crush on you.”

 

What in the hell did that have to do with anything and why was I suddenly feeling so distant from my friends. “I don't think I understand Eri.”

 

“Do you really not know? Well with you being in and out of school I kind of lose track of what I tell you. Ami and Hojo have been going steady for about 3 weeks now. But I mean, I'm sure she would have told you herself if she'd seen you.”

 

Sure she would of. How nice that my own friends were hiding stuff because they didn't think I would handle it well. For crying out loud I never liked Hojo that way to begin with. Did they actually think I would do something to jeopardize their relationship?

 

“Well thanks for the invite, and I'll think about it okay? Bye guys.” I said over my shoulder. The walk home seemed a bit longer than I would have liked. All I could think about was my old friends and what had just happened.

 

I knew that I had been missing school a lot more lately, but I hadn't realized how far I had drifted from my friends. It was to be expected; after all I lied to them about everything and just couldn't relate to them anymore.

 

The dance seemed to peek my interest though. This would be my last formal, after all it was my senior year, but having to go alone didn't seem too appealing.

 

Making my way up the shrine steps I decided to play it cool when it came to my mother. She may not have had a right to say what she did but maybe now she realized I wasn't going to give on the issue.

 

I was totally unprepared to see a white shirted jean clad Inuyasha with a paint brush painting the temple fence. He must have either sensed me or smelled me because he quickly turned in my direction and flashed me that smile that made my knees go weak.

 

“Hey how was school?”

 

“Eh not so bad, I'm just glad it's over.”

 

Nodding his head he simply went back to painting. I was a bit shocked at how slow his strokes were, I had never seen him do anything like this before, I mean he was actually being patient and careful not to let the paint fall to the ground.

 

“So are you going to tell me how you got suckered into this?” I asked with humor lacing my voice and my hands on hips.

 

“Actually your mother and I made out a deal.”

 

“Eh?” What in the hell was he talking about? Surely he hadn't discussed with my mother about what we fought about, oh please don't let that be the case I thought.

 

“We made a deal that if I helped out with some chores here and there while you were at school I could still sleep in your room, as long as it was on a separate cot.” He said never taking his eyes off the paintbrush and saying it as if it were a secret.

 

I didn't know if I should be angry he went behind my back to do this or be happy that he had resolved the conflict between my mother and I.

 

“You didn't have to do that Inuyasha, we could have resolved this some other way.” I tried.

 

“It's okay, I actually like helping out when I can, besides you shouldn't be fighting with your mother because of me. It's bad enough you don't see her that often that when you do you should at least get along.”

 

There it was he managed to make me love him that much more, how could this man be so thoughtful? Throwing caution to the wind I embraced him, “Thank you Inuyasha, it means a lot for you to tell me that.”

 

Pulling away I noticed that this time he didn't have his blush, had he became comfortable hugging him as a human now?

 

“Don't get all mushy, I know your mother's special to you and I caused a fight between the two of you so I fixed it, that's all,” he said turning back to his work with a bit more of a hurry than before.

 

So I had embarrassed him, smiling I simply headed off towards my room telling him, “Well just don't let her take advantage of you,” as I went.

 

Supper had come and gone, and things with my mother had seemed normal enough, and when time for bed rolled around I was curious to see if she would own up to her side of the bargain. Entering the kitchen where she was cleaning, I tested the water, “I'm going to bed now mama.”

 

“Alright dear, goodnight.” She had said without stopping her fierce scrubbing on an unfortunate cooking pot.

 

“I'll see you in the morning mom.” I said leaving the kitchen and making my way into my room. I was surprised to find that Inuyasha was already changed into his sweat pants and again no shirt and was lying flat on his stomach on his cot.

 

I guess he'd been doing a lot of chores for mama while I was at school, Inuyasha never liked to go to sleep before I did. Seeing as he was already asleep and dark, I decided on getting dressed in my room. Changing into my favorite pj's I carefully stepped over Inuyasha and his sword and jumped into bed.

 

Peaking over my bed I stole one last glance at Inuyasha before drifting off into my own dreamless sleep.

Sorry it's so short but I promise it's about to pick up!

 

Should I make them go to the dance or just skip over that part and get it moving?
