Page 1 1 [Another nice picture of Kagome - she's sitting on a wall, looking off to the side with a slight smile. She's wearing some rather nice boots, a dark mini-skirt, a thick belt, flower patterned t-shirt and a white jacket. There's a bottle of mineral water to one side and she's holding a ruck-sack on the other.] Title: The Pair's Feelings Page 2 1 [Kagome is walking to school, not exactly looking happy.] Kagome: .oO(*sigh*).

Page 8 1 [Miroku seems to be doing palm-reading for a bunch of village girls.] Fx village girl#1: *excitedly* Miroku: This is a good palm-readying. Miroku: You'll be blessed with long-life and children. village girl#2: Really, houshi-sama!? 2 [Smiling, Miroku talks to the girl who's palm he's holding, who teasingly slaps his hand lightly.] Miroku: How about this.

Page 10 1 [Inside the resturant, Kagome is holding a soft-drink, and there is a tray with chips and burgers nearby. Kagome looks a bit annoyed.] Kagome: He's a low-grade guy. ( I'm not exactly sure what Kagome means here. Literally, she's saying that Inuyasha is of low caliber - he doesn't have what it takes... to ber her boyfriend, perhaps...?) 2 [Kagome continues on, looking annoyed, resting her chin on her hand.] Kagome: He's violent, selfish, and offensive. hair-band and short-hair: .oO(A Yank...?).

Fx hair-band: (table) thump short-hair: Don't you ever meet him again! 2 [Kagome seems a bit surprised.] Kagome: Eh?

Fx Kagome: (soft drink) *suck through straw...* hair-band and short-hair: .oO(She does love him.). ( Silence means consent. By not answering, Kagome is pretty agreeing that she does love Inuyasha and knows it, but (probably) doesn't really want to admit it. I still think, and have for a while, that Kagome really waiting for Inuyasha to be "free" (not have any lingering feelings for Kikyou) before being more forward.) 4 [View of the Higurashi Shrine.] Fx leaves: rustle... 5 [View of Kagome's room, and the window is sliding open.] Fx window: *slide...* Page 14 1 [Inuyasha appears in the window.] Fx Inuyasha: *sneak* Inuyasha: .oO(Damn...).

Souta: There's no way you two would have had a fight. 5 [Closeup of Souta smiling widely.] Souta: Because, nee-chan was in a really bad mood... 6 [Inuyasha looks a bit depressed or worried.] Souta: ...What is it?

Fx Souta: cough 4 [Misty frame.] Kagome: *sigh* Kagome: When I think about it... 5 [Kagome is in the bath, leaning over the rim a bit, thinking.] Kagome: .oO(At that time... just when Inuyasha had finally come to rescue me...). Kagome: .oO(I went and took Kouga-kun's side...). Page 18 1 [Closeup side view of Kagome.] Kagome: .oO(I guess...). Kagome: .oO(it is my fault after all...). 2 [Sky at evening.] 3 [View of a village in the hills, in the Sengoku Jidai.] Fx leaves: rustle... 4 [Inuyasha is sitting with his back to the Well, looking annoyed.

Houjou: Is the tuberculosis better now!? 2 [View of the other students in the classroom looking over at Houjou, when they were talking in pairs. It's probably during some kind of break between lessons. A reminder - Houjou is in a different class to Kagome, so he wouldn't necessarily know Kagome was back straight away.] 3 [Kagome looks up from her desk, where she is doing some studying.] Kagome: Houjou-kun... 4 [A little later, Kagome is standing in front of Houjou, looking slightly surprised.] Fx desks: {in background} clatter Kagome: A movie?

EndFlashBack] Page 6 1 [Inuyasha looks at Shippou sitting on the edge of the Well.] Shippou: Kagome certainly did protect Kouga and let him escape. 2 [Closeup of Shippou.] Shippou: Inspite of him being Inuyasha's enemy, Shippou: and also having a terrible time being kidnapped, though. 3 [Shippou is thinking on something, and Inuyasha is watching.] Shippou: ...... Inuyasha: ...... 4 [Shippou suddenly looks up at Inuyasha, who gets angry and frustrated.] Shippou: I guess she did fall in love with Kouga after all?

Kagome: When Inuyasha comes to take be back. 3 [Souta says something to Kagome, who has a shocked look. The T-shirt Kagome's wearing has 'SHAM' written on it, and some panda footprint marks, though this is probably not meant to mean anything in particular.] Souta: He's not coming, is he. Fx Kagome: *twitch* Fx Kagome: (pen in hand) crack 4 [The background hs gone dark and meanacing, as Souta looks up, wide-eyed, as Kagome looms over him, with a dark, threatening expression.] Souta: ...I'm being a nuisance? Fx Kagome: Kagome: ...Leave. 5 [View of an alarm clock ("classical" look, except it doesn't have two bells on the top) on Kagome's desk. The time is 10:05.] Fx clock: tick tick tick 6 [Kagome is having a pause in her studies, thinking with her head on her hands.] Kagome: However... Kagome: this might be my only chance. 7 [Kagome turns back to her studying.] Fx Kagome: *sit forward quickly* Kagome: That's right, right now, for just a bit... Kagome: I gotta get back on schedule in my studies! ( In Japan, what is taught in school is all pre-planned centrally - ie there is an official schedule of what should be taught when. This does make it easier to Kagome to know what to study.) Page 8 1 [View of the moon, outside Kagome's room.

Houjou: Urgent business? 3 [Closeup of Kagome, hands together in apology.] Kagome: Yeah...

Page 14 1 [Closeup of Houjou looking pleased.] Houjou: That's silly. Houjou: Have you been worried about that? 2 [Houjou continues on happily, though Kagome's confused.] Kagome: Eh...? Houjou: I don't have any intention of going out with anyone else. 3 [Houjou turns away, looking slightly pleased/embarrassed, and Kagome just watches in confusion.] Houjou: So that's it, Houjou: but I'm kinda happy though. 4 [Closeup of Houjou smiling happily.] Houjou: You've been jealous over me, Higurashi. 5 [Kagome forces a smile on her face, somewhat strained.] Kagome: That's not... 6 [Houjou leaves, smiling happily, leaving Kagome.] Kagome: .oO(Houjou-kun is... strong.). Fx Houjou: *invigorated* Houjou: I'll invite you out again! ( Kagome was, somewhat subtly, trying to tell Houjou to forget about her, but it looks like Houjou isn't giving up easily... Also, Kagome would have maybe liked to explained why she wasn't jealous, but it would have been awkward.)

Kagome... 5 [Closeup of Kagome, who's smiling.] Kagome: Ehehe. Kagome: I'm back. ( Kagome says this in a self-depreciating way that's hard to translate.

Inuyasha: I'm saying we have no duty to save him. 2 [Kagome still looks a bit saddened and concerned.] Kagome: Bu, but, Kouga-kun was also pulled into Naraku's trap. Kagome: Somehow, as long as he's alive... 3 [Inuyasha stands up.] Kagome: Inuyasha... Fx Inuyasha: *wobble...* 4 [Closeup of Inuyasha.] Inuyasha: If it's "as long as he's alive"...

Kagome: [Kagura couldn't have been] a transformed version of Naraku himself, Kagome: because it was as if she had no knowledge of us... 2 [Miroku makes a comment, to the slight surprise of the rest of the group.] Miroku: Firstly, no matter what kind of girl he transforms into, Miroku: I would refuse [to ask "please bear my child"], as the original is Naraku. Kagome: It's not like [Naraku] would want to date you either. 3 [Closeup of Inuyasha.] Inuyasha: But, don't you think it's strange? Inuyasha: This Kagura person, was strong for a woman. 4 [Black misty frame.] Inuyasha: If he can produce things like her then... 5 [Closeup of Sango.] Sango: Yes...

She has longish hair that covers the sides of her head (hiding her ears) and in two flat bunches that fall in front of her shoulders. She has two flowers in her hair and a blank expression, and her kimono fairly plain, and rather like Inuyasha's.] ( Kanna is a girl's name. You could perhaps literally translate it as "godless" - there is a word "kanna-zuki", which is the tenth lunar month, which is "the month the gods are all away at the Izumo shrine" according to my dictionary.)
