Kagome was ready to choke him. Harima Kenji sat in the seat beside her. He was... Vibrating again and it was starting to make Kagome angry, Oh, how the priestess wished she could make beads for the juvenile delinquent sitting beside her. Yes, they were on friendly terms, but that didn't mean he couldn't annoy her, and those vibes were defiantly annoying. 

Yakumo entered the room with a small pink lunch. "Tenma, you took off without your lunch."

Oh! Silly me! Thanks sis!" Tenma smiled gratefully at Yakumo.

"Listen," she began, "Are you ok sitting there? Is it safe?"

Kagome giggled. She knew exactly what Yakumo was referring to: the vibrating idiot in between the two girls.

"Say what?"

Yakumo pointed at Harima. "He's got kind of a weird vibe."

Tenma looked at Harima, then looked at the floor. "Harima! Your desk," she bent down and grabbed his bag. "Is crushing your bag! You poor helpless little bag." She set it on the hook that was connected to the desk.

His vibes changed from the dark purple they once were, to light pastel pink. "Seriously?"

He smirked. "Pretty hysterical. The toughest punk in town and I show up on time everyday, stay all day, and then stick around for clean up." he let out a laugh. "What a joke. On me. You get it."

"Hey Harima," Kagome spoke. "Who exactly are you talking to?"

He didn't answer, just kept chuckling to himself. Kagome smiled. He sure was amusing. Then again, so was all the other students, well, except Karasuma. Curry loving idiot.

"Right. Time to check out the old language skills with a pop quiz," Kagomes teacher announced. Groans echoed throughout the room. "Just fill in the blanks people."

Students passed the tests back.

"Ok. Annnnnd Start!"

Kagome flipped her paper over and nearly fell out of her seat. This test was going to be a breeze! She happily filled in the blanks after reading each question carefully. "Piece of cake. Tests at my old school were a lot harder than those and I managed to pass them."

Kagome finished rather quickly. Not wanting to be the first one to give up her test, she waited until a few others did. She glanced at Harima, who wasn't paying attention. Surprise. The guy was basically having a mental breakdown. She shook her head.

A moment later, Harima let out a loud yell and put his hands on his head. Everyone snapped their attention to him.

"Holy crap, I completely forgot to write my name! Even if I managed to get every answer correct, I would have failed." Several students, teacher included, laughed at him. 

"Better be more careful Harima." his teacher said with a smile on his face.

Kagome glanced down at her paper and let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you Harima!" If he hadn't said that, she would have been that person. Failing.

Harima heard Kagome's sigh and glanced at her. He watched as she wrote her name in nice, neat handwriting at the top of the page.  "Well, at least someone caught what I was saying."

Harima pulled out an eraser and wrote his message on it. He then purposely dropped it on the floor, in Tenma's direction.

"That's actually a smart idea," Kagome slightly applauded the idiot.

Unfortunately, the eraser was picked up by someone else. The kid in front of him wrote back and passed it back to Harima. He looked at it and then back to the kid. "Screw. You." and landed a hit on the poor unsuspecting kid.

"Sorry," the kid whispered.

"Yeeeeeeaaahhhhhh!" Harima yelled loudly gaining the attention of everyone once again. "I got the answer to number seven, the last question. Man, this test is so easy, I can't believe it! Hahaha."

"Tenma, you are so dumb," Kagome thought as she hung her head.

He slammed his fist on his desk. Kagome watched him write Tenma's name on HIS paper. She felt bad for the guy, really.

"Harima... You owe me one..." Kagome mentally cried as she erased her name and wrote 'Harima Kenji' in its place. "Why am I even doing this?" she questioned as the time ran out. Everyone passed their papers forward.

~The Next Day~

"Here are your test back from yesterday." the teacher handed them all back. "Tenma, I'm afraid you got a zero."

"What the?" she was baffled by this. Harima apologized over and over to her in his head as tears seemed to stream down his face.

"Harima Kenji. You got the highest score in the class! Great Job!" the teacher handed him back his paper.

Harima was equally confused. "How...?"

"Kagome Higurashi, I'm sorry your answers were correct, but i'm afraid I had to give you a zero for not writing your name. What happened?" suddenly, all eyes were on her.

"Oh, um, It must have been the sickness kicking in. I wasn't feeling too well yesterday," Kagome lied.

"Alright everyone. Take your seats. Your new history will be here soon. Mr. Okami wasn't able to make it the last few times due to personal reasons." The students all sat down once more as their teacher left the classroom. Moments later, a younger teacher entered. 

Kagome's mouth fell open. She recognized him immediately. She slammed her hand on her desk and abruptly stood up in her seat. "K-Kouga?!"

His eyes snapped up and he dropped the clipboard in his hand. "K-Kagome?"

"I thought... But you were... I just... Huh?" Kagome could not seem to form a complete sentence as she stared at the wolf demon standing before her class. She thought demons had long since become extinct, but here was Kouga. The aura of a wolf still hung about him, but it was more hidden, unlike in the Feudal Era. 

"How are YOU even here?" He pointed out. Kouga was confused. The last time he saw her was over 500 years ago. There was no way that she could have survived for 500 years. After all, she was a human.

"Oh yeah... Kouga doesn't know about the well..." She bit her lip and sat back in her seat. "Let, uh, catch up later..."

"Y-yeah..." he agreed. After their little scene, Kouga began his class.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Does anyone know why Tenma is avoiding me?" Kagome asked after the bell rang. It wasn't the lunch bell. It was a bell for teachers to switch classes. 

"Now that you mention it, she has been acting a little strange," Eri glanced at her friend who usually joined their conversation. 

"I heard her mumbling something about Karasuma already having a girlfriend followed by your name." Akira pointed out.

"Eh? Is there not another Kagome here?" Kagome questioned.

"Nope! You're the only one." Eri patted Kagome on the head.

With a sigh, Kagome headed over to Tenma. She looked over her shoulder and smiled at the group of girls. "I got to clear up a misunderstanding." Tenma kept her gaze outside. "Hey Tenma."

She ignored her.

"I think I know why you're angry with me. You think Karasuma and I have a thing, right?" 

Tenma merely crossed her arms over her chest. 

"Well, we don't." Kagome stated. "I'm just living with him temporarily until I can find my own place."

"You're living with him!?" Tenma screeched.

"Yeah. My mother and his were, and still are, really good friends back when they were in high school. They set up the whole ordeal." Kagome explained.

"Oh! That makes sense!" Tenma finally threw Kagome one of her contagious smiles. "I'm sorry for assuming such things." She laughed nervously and rubbed the back of her head.

"It's ok. It happens." Kagome ruffled her hair and sat back in her seat. "Well, thats been cleared." 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"School physicals today?" Kagome glanced at one of the girls in the archery club that she had joined a few days ago. She released the arrow that was nocked in the bow. As always, it hit dead center.

"Yep! Everyone has to participate, especially you," she handed Kagome a bottle of water. Currently Kagome was the star member of the Archery club due to always hitting the target right in the middle. She never once went off mark. 

"Eh? I can't just skip?"

"Nope! They don't have your results from your old school because you were always sick." She smiled at the raven haired girl who slumped her shoulders in defeat.

"Fine. I guess I'll go get changed." Kagome released her hair from the ponytail. "See you later Mayumi!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome stood beside Tenma as their blonde haired friend Eri approached them. Tenma was sulking. "Ok, let me guess, the look on your face says you gained weight. Am I right?" She let out a laugh as Tenma kept her mouth shut. "Score one."

"Makoto put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Oh, just ignore her. You weigh about the same as me don't you? So don't even worry about it."

"Thank you!" Tenma perked up at her as Akira appeared before them. 

"On the other hand, she's got a much bigger bust than you." Tenma slumped to her desk.

"What about you Kagome?" Eri looked at her.

"What about me?" Kagome raised an eyebrow.

"How much do you weigh?" Akira inquired.

Kagome gave them a peace sign. "109."

Tenma let out a groan.

"Woah! Really? Are you in any after school clubs?" Makoto asked her.

"I'm in the Archery club," she said. "And I used to chase blood thirsty demons all around Feudal Japan."

"Now that you mention it, I did hear the other members talk about their newest member. You must be a pretty good shot." Eri compliment.

Kagome smiled at her.

"Hey is it just me or does anyone else notice that the boys are a little more out of control than usual?" Eri whispered to them.

"Oh, they're just hot and bothered," Makoto grinned. "Thinking about todays physical exam."

Suddenly Tenma let out a scream. "I'm sorry! Please forgive me!"

"Sure thing." Makoto blinked. "What are we forgiving you for?"

"Ya know Tenma, no one else has a knack for killing a conversation quite like you do." Eri sighed.

"Come on Eri, you gotta be used to it by now. Enjoy the drama." Akira threw in.

"Yeah, so back to the boys," she smirked. "Isn't it pathetic the way their wrapped up in their lude little fantasies. I mean if that desperate for that to satisfy their curiosity, they should just become doctors."

"Wow, So much for being PC." Makoto looked at the blonde girl.

"That's right. Boys can be doctors or nurses." Akira chimed. 

Kagome ignored the rest of the conversation and looked out the window. She let out a sigh. Oh how she missed the Feudal Era. Tenma interrupted her thoughts. "Yes! I'll become a nurse!"

"Maybe I'm overreacting," Akira began, "but doesn't that strike you as a abrupt career decision?"

Makoto put her hands behind her head. "Yeah well consider the source."

Eri put her hands on the sides of her head. "Oh gosh I think she's really serious this time!"

Tenma turned towards the three of them. "No no im not talking about my future job."

"Your sure about that?" Eri asked,

"I'll see you all later girls!" she waved goodbye as she left the room. "So long!"

Kagome smiled. This school was just too much fun. She turned back towards the piece of paper on her desk.

Dear Mom, Souta, and Grandpa,

Its been yet another interesting day here at Yagami High School. I've made great friend. Eri, Makoto, Akira, and Tenma. I'm on somewhat friend terms with the schools 'bad ass' Harima Kenji. He's kinda stupid and head over heels for Tenma who happens to be in love with Karasuma. I also joined the Archery club! Apparently I am their star member because I always hit the bulls eye. The other members are pretty nice too. So far I'm liking it. OH! And you'll never guess who my history teacher is! It's Kouga! The wolf demon I once told you about!Well. I gotta go. I'll write another letter tomorrow. Physicals today.Love,Kagome.

Kagome smiled as she put the letter in the envelope and sealed it shut. An announcement came on, canceling Physical examinations. Kagome cheered! No physical exams!

"Hey Kagome!" Kouga entered the classroom. "Let's have lunch together!"

"Hey Kouga! Sure." Kagome grabbed her lunch and together they headed to the roof where they would have some privacy.

"Sooooo..." Kagome looked at the wolf demon sitting across from her. He was currently stuffing his face with potato chips.

"What?" he looked at her.

"What happened with the others. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Shippo, Sango, Miroku..?" she asked.

"Oh, First you have to tell me how you survived this long." he crossed his arms over his chest.

Kagome giggled. "I traveled through time." she said.

"That's ridiculous!" Kouga snorted.

"It's true! The Bone Eaters well near Kaeda's village is a portal to the future. Its how I travel back and forth." she said.

"Well... it does make sense seeing how you look the same from the last time I saw you." Kouga said.

"Ok. Now tell me about the others?" Kagome slightly leaned forward.

"Well. Over the years, Inuyasha eventually died, being a hanyo and all. Sango and the monk, married and had kids. As for Sesshomaru and Shippo... no idea. " Kouga knew what happened to those two. In fact, he knew where they were. He was under strict orders if he ever came across Kagome, not to sat a word.

"I see..." Kagome sighed. " I Wonder if Shippo made it to this time."
