�Um . . . you see . . . the doctor says I haven�t made a full recovery,� she stuttered.
�What sort of illness do you have?� asked the closest girl with a raised eyebrow.
�I still have it!� exclaimed Kagome.
The girl who had asked the question began to edge away.
�By the way, are you going to the New Year�s party at my house? Nearly the whole school�s invited!� another girl said excitedly.
�Come on, Kagome!� chimed the group.
Feeling pressured, Kagome answered, �Alright.�
�Yeah!� they all shouted. But Kagome didn�t feel excited. New Years Eve was tomorrow.
�Guys, I think I have to get home. Souta needs to be watched and stuff . . .� trailed Kagome.
She began her way home when one of the girls shouted, �Oh yeah, Kagome, bring that cute guy that your always talking about!�
Kagome went rigid. Not Inuyasha! He couldn�t even tell the difference between a youkai and a toilet!
Closing the door behind her, Kagome was speechless. Then, she had an idea! Snatching a piece of paper, she quickly scribbled a note to Souta. She snatched a book from her shelf before leaving through the well.
In almost no time at all, she found herself in the feudal era. Looking around she saw the sun shining and a butterfly fluttering past. And a rock that hit her sharply in the back of the head.
�Get down!� a voice hissed, pulling her into the bushes.
�LET GO OF ME YOU PERVERT!� shouted Kagome slapping Miroku on the head.
�No, I�m serious! You want to be hidden . . .� started Miroku.
A figure Kagome recognized leapt past . . . Sesshoumaru. Immediately following him was, as predicted, Inuyasha.
�Get back here! I�ll show you that my mommy�s proud of me!� he shouted. �You can�t say things like that about my mother!�
