The selanjutnya morning I walked slowly down to breakfast. Kagome was there. I sat down quietly.

“Kyoko?” Kagome said. I looked at her. “Are anda okay?”

I nodded and starting to eat. Everyone was staring at me.

“What!” I demanded, glaring at each of them.

“You know,” grandpa said. “this is the first time we are eating together in a while so anda could stand to cheer up a little.”

I stood up and gathered my dishes together. I put them in the sink and stomped out of the room.

“Boy trouble,” I heard Kagome say. I walked to my room and sat on the bed.

“Kyoko?” Kagome said, coming in the room. “You know what would make anda feel better?” I shook my head. “You should come and see everyone at school.”

We walked to school in silence. When we got there, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi ran up and hugged me.

“Kyoko!” They screamed.

“Hey guys,” I tried to smile and act natural.

“Okay, what’s wrong?” Eri said.

“Nothing,” I replied and started to walk away. Eri and Yuka stopped me.

“It’s a boy isn’t it?” Yuka guessed. My eyes widened.

“Fess up.” Eri said.

“It’s nothing,” I said. “He’s a jerk and he isn’t worth talking about. I never want to see him again.”

“So there is someone?” Ayumi said. Just then the bel, bell rang. We all walked into the classroom.

School went oleh quickly. After classes were over, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi dragged Kagome and I to McDonald’s. We bought our food and then they started to pertanyaan me.

“Alright, what kind of guy are anda seeing?”

“He’s a jerk. He’s rude and moody and ignorant. And he gets so jealous it’s just ridiculous.”

“Well if he gets jealous, that means he has feelings for anda at least.” Ayumi said.

“Yeah but he is still totally hung up over his first girlfriend. But he is strong and courageous and has moments where he is really nice to me.”

“Kyoko,” Eri said. I looked up. “It sounds like you’re in cinta with this guy.”

“What?”

“Come on it’s written all over your face.” Ayumi said, smiling. Kagome started laughing. We berkata goodbye and Kagome and I walked home.

“We’re home,” I said, opening the door. I walked to my room and found the door open. I looked inside to see Sota sitting on the floor with the window open.

“What are anda doing in my room, Sota?” I asked.

“Um, I can’t tell you. It’s a man to man promise,” he said, running out of the room.

The selanjutnya hari at school, I was talking to Kagome when a boy in my class names Hojo called my name.

“Hey, Kyoko. Can I talk to you?”

“Um, sure.” I walked put into the hallway with him.

“Well, now that you’re back, I was wondering if anda would like to go see a movie Saturday.”

“Saturday? Well I can’t…”

Eri and Yuka ran up behind me. “She would cinta to go.” Eri said.

“Great. See anda then.” Hojo said, walking down the hallway.

“Why did anda guys set me up like that?”

“Because anda may like dating a bad boy now but it could really mess anda up.”

“Yeah anda are going to that movie on Saturday.” Yuka agreed.

“No I’m not,” I said. “I do not like Hojo. And I’m waiting for InuYasha to come apologize. So I will not go on a tanggal with someone I don’t like.” I walked back into the classroom.

That night I sat in my room drawing. I was trying to get my mind off of InuYasha but for some reason I couldn’t stop drawing his face. Sota sat on my tempat tidur playing with our cat.

“Kyoko,” Sota asked. “When are anda and Kagome returning to the Feudal Era?”

“Whenever InuYasha comes to get me,” I replied.

“But what if he doesn’t come?”

“Why is it any of your business. Get out of my room!” I yelled.

“Well why would he come get anda if your always biting people’s heads off.” Sota said, running out the door.

I sighed and finished the picture of InuYasha’s face that I had been drawing. Then, I walked over to my tempat tidur and sank into my pillow.

“I’ve missed my bed,” I berkata to myself. “It sure beats sleeping on the cold ground outside.” That’s not true, I thought. anda cinta sleeping under the stars and knowing that InuYasha is watching over you. I wonder what bintang he’s under tonight? I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

I woke up the selanjutnya morning to find my window open. I walked over to it and looked outside.

“InuYasha?” I whispered. No one answered. I turned around and noticed something oleh my bed. Footprints. Two muddy footprints and handprints were selanjutnya to my bed. Those are InuYasha’s, I thought. I stood up.

I walked into Kagome’s room. She was getting something out of her closet.

“I’ve decided to go back,” I said. She turned around and smiled.

“I knew it,” she said, handing me a bag. “I’ve been packed for days.”

I called Hojo and explained that something came up. He was very understanding. Kagome and I waved goodbye to our family and jumped into the well.

Back in the Feudal Era, I found InuYasha sitting on puncak, atas of a hill.

“Hey,” I said, sitting down beside him.

“Kyoko,” he said, surprised.

“Look I wanted to…” I started to say.

“I’m sorry,” he suddenly said. I stared at his, surprised. He pulled out the picture of him that I had drawn the night before. It was ripped and full of holes. My mouth dropped open.

“That’s what you’re apologizing for?” I asked.

“I got nothing else to apologize for.”

I stood up and was about to explode at him when Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo ran out from behind a semak, bush yelling at me to stop. They grabbed my arms and shoulders and held me back.

“Please wait, Kyoko,” Miroku said. “He’s doing his best.”

“How long have anda guys been watching?” InuYasha yelled.

“Yes, all he has done since anda left is sigh and mope around. He even went over twice to get you,” Sango said.

“He came over twice?” I asked.

“Were anda guys watching me?” InuYasha said, standing up. “Can’t a guy have a little privacy around here.”

“Calm down, InuYasha,” Sango said.

“Yes, she came back, that’s all that matters,” Miroku agreed.

“Can’t anda just menelan your pride for once and apologize,” Kagome said.

“Shut up!” InuYasha yelled and he started to chase them around the field.

“You should forgive him.” A voice from behind me said. I turned to see Kaede walking towards me. “He is just glad that you’re back.”

I smiled and watched InuYasha run after everyone.
