A bond of friend ship and love will bring us back together again.

June 18 1995

A young girl, the age of 13 and her half demon friend, who was the age of 14, played in the streets.

Their names, kagome and Inuyasha. Every one knew the two friends, they were inseparable. Always together, some even thought that the two would be married some day b/c of how close they were. They had a special bond from the moment they had met 2 years ago.

"Inu!" kagome giggled "you won't catch me if you don't keep up"

She knew if he really wanted to catch her then he would use he's demon speed, but Inuyasha never cheated, he would only run half as fast just so that she could have a chance to win every now and again.

"I'm going to get you Kag!" he said as he ran faster

Inuyasha pounced on top of her. Knocking not only her down but him self as well. They rolled down the hill together laughing.

"Uh-oh" kagome said pointing to the sun "I really need to be going Inuyasha"

It was almost dark. Kagome's life changed 3 years ago when her mother and baby brother Sota were killed in a car wreck. Her father and her self had lived threw it, but that was also the day her father changed as well. Kagome's father was horrible man that would beat her every night and if she were late getting home then she knew it would only be worse.

"Come on get on my back Kag I'll take you home" Inuyasha said as he turned into the direction of her home.

Kagome hopped onto his back.

In no time at all they had arrived at kagome's home. But as fate would have the sun had set. Kagome's face held a mixture of fear and sadness. Inuyasha caught her expression; he knew what her father did to her. If it were up to him he would steal kagome away from here, and take her far away some where he couldn't hurt her anymore. He had asked kagome to come live with him, to get away from her father before he went to far, but she refused and said I belong here, then she'd mumble something about it was her fault.

"Kag are you going to be ok?"

"Y-yea…Inu don't be silly of course I will, I'll see you tomorrow ok" she turned and was about to go inside to face her father but then she remembered something she was suppose to do "WAIT! INU!" she screamed "I forgot to give you this!"

Inuyasha who had walked a few steps away, turned around. Kagome ran up to him and held out what looked like a peace of paper. Inuyasha took it and turned it over. It was a picture of kagome and she had written on it 'friends forever! Never forget that!'

Inuyasha smiled at her as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a shiny gold chain with a golden heart shaped locket. It was beautiful.

"I was going to give you this tomorrow because well that was the day we became best friends" he said to her as he placed the necklace around her neck

The color of the locket was the exact same shade of gold as Inuyasha's eyes.

"Kagome promise me you'll never take it off!"

"Inuyasha I promise if you promise to never lose that picture of me"

"Deal!"

They smiled at each other, and then said their good byes.

Kagome stepped into the darkness of her house. Holding her breath she shut the door behind her. She looked around, all was quite. Maybe her father was asleep, and had forgotten all about her. She released her breath a last.

"You're late" a voice arose from the darkness behind kagome

Suddenly kagome felt the power force of her father kicking her in the stomach making her fly across the room. Tears fell from her eyes. Her father came at her again.

Kagome was beaten until she could no longer move. She was in so much pain, her vision was blurred. She had shed so many tears that she had no more to cry away the pain. Her father stood over her, scowling away as he stared down at her.

"Get up you pile of shit!" he demanded "I said get up Annam!"

Kagome's eyes shot open! That's was her mothers name! He called her by her mother's name! That was it kagome was enraged with furry she was not her mother, her mother was dead and so was her little brother, all because he was driving drunk. It was he's fault they were dead, and now he had the nerve to say her mothers name!

Kagome's hand grabbed around her father ankle. She clutched it as hard as she could. He looked down at her with a scowl as if to say 'you filthy garbage how dare you touch me'

"I….I am not Annam! I am kagome! Her daughter! And you killed her! You're the one who killed mother and Sota! You beat me every single night I take blow after blow, strike after strike and you dare use my mothers name after that! I wish you had died instead of them! I hate you go to HELL!" kagome screamed to the top of her lungs.

Kagome knew at once she was in for it. She sprang to her feet despite the horrible pain it caused her. But her father was too quick for her. He grabbed her hair and pulled so that she had no choice but to follow.

"Let me go!" kagome screeched

"You wish mommy was with you so much? Well guess what we'll go to mommy tonight! We'll all get to be together in hell, isn't that what you want? Huh?"

He pulled a gasoline tank out of the closet, and then he started to poor the gas all over the house, and on every thing. The whole time dragging kagome with him. Kagome was terrified; she couldn't really understand what he was doing. All she understood was that she was going to die that night.

"ready to go see mommy and Sota?" he chuckled as he lit a match on fire

"stop it! Your crazy! Stop it" kagome begged

But her father just smiled at her, a truly evil smile. He looked once more around the room, then to kagome before he let the match fall to the floor in mere seconds the house was lit a blaze, with kagome and her father in it.

Thirty minutes later the fire department had arrived on the seen. Soon after them a very concerned Inuyasha.

Inuyasha had smelled the smoke of a burning fire, he got out of bed and looked out his window. The house, which was two houses down and across the street was on fire. But what horrified Inuyasha was that it was kagome's house. Without second thought, Inuyasha jumped out of his window and ran to the burning house, where the fire department had already arrived. Inuyasha ran right up to the blazing house. He would have jumped into the flames but a fire man grabbed him and dragged him back away from the house.

"Let go!" Inuyasha snarled at the man "she's in there! I have to save her! I have to protect her! Let go!"

"Calm down son our men are doing the best they can, we'll save her if we can"

But Inuyasha did not stop struggling against the man's grip. Tears fell down Inuyasha's face as he was forced to watch the house burn and along with it Kagome. Inuyasha was heart broken, so heart broken over the loss of his friend that he didn't budge from the spot the man had held him to, even after the man let go, and left.

When at last Inuyasha found the strength to move, he walked threw the burned ruins and ash that was Kagome's house only 2 hours before. Inuyasha walked threw what use to be the living room. Even though the room was burned so badly no human could tell there was a struggle, Inuyasha's demon eyes could see every piece of evidence. Blood stains on the floor and walls. Inuyasha blamed himself, for kagome's death he should have forced her to come live with him even though she may not have wanted to come he should have made her. But because he didn't kagome's ashes were some where mixed in with the ashes of the house and her fathers. The sun's rays caught something shiny, which caught Inuyasha's eyes. He walked over to a pile of ashes and bent down. Inuyasha brushed away the ashes. And there it was… kagome's locket, the one that she promised to never take off. Hot tears filled Inuyasha eyes, and fell down he's face like water falls. He clutched the locket in his hand, and with the other hand he pulled out kagome's picture. He looked at it as more and more tears fell down he's face. He then folded her picture into a small little square. Then he placed it with in kagome's locket, and finally he placed the locket around he's neck.

"I'm sorry kagome…" he cried "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you…I will never remove this locket for so long as I shall live…in memory of…you…and of our friendship that will last forever…and when the day comes that I too shall die then we will be reunited"

Inuyasha turned to face the sun rise, his silver hair blowing in the wind. And the final tears fell from his face.
