The Spot

Chapter 1: Haunting Memories

It's been five years since I've been in this very spot. The spot that ruined my life forever but it made me the happiest girl in the world. The spot that made my heart throb with pain and love. This spot made me realize I love him…

- - -

I remember the first day we met. I was alone in the that spot, I was trying to run away from everything. My daddy was dieing, mommy won't stop crying, and grandpa is getting very sick. I tried my hardest to help my mommy, grandpa, and daddy but… I can't! Nothing I do is right, and plus what about my feelings? I cried too! But only when I am alone. I cry alone because I want to be strong for mommy and grandpa. I secretly cry because I what to give my daddy hope by not crying in front of him. Telling him that I love him and that everything is going to be okay.

I was a scared, lonely five year old girl. Well… I guess I was lonely until he came along…

"Why are you crying?" he asked me.

"I'm not crying," I quickly wiped away my tears. "See!" I said with a fake smile.

"You were crying. I can smell the salt on you," he told me. He was the strangest boy I have ever seen. He had long white hair, dog ears, and soft amber eyes.

"You can smell salt?" I asked, kind of frightened.

"You are scared of me aren't you?" he snapped, "Everyone is scared of me. So it won't surprise me if you were too."

"I'm not scared," I snapped back, " I was just umm… cur..i..ous? Well that's what my mommy always says!"

"Oh… Well I'm a half demon… I can do many different things humans can't." he explained, well more like bragging.

"My name is Kagome. And I'm different too."

"Ya right! You look like a normal human girl!"

"But I'm not… I'm a priestess. My mommy said that it I am special," I said with a big grin.

He giggled, "Well, I'm Inuyasha. I think you are very special."

I blushed, "Can we be friends?"

He took my small hand and said, "We can't be friends… Only best friends!"

- - -

I smiled. But then, frowned. That horrible memory just keeps coming back when ever I try to think of the good!

- - -

Inuyasha and I became friends and we were inseparable. We did everything together. He was there for me, and I was there for him. We've been through the good and the bad times. It seemed like after meeting Inuyasha nothing can go wrong. My dad was getting better, grandpa wasn't sick anymore, and mom was happier then ever.

Our families became very good friends. Even though my family was a little poorer then Inuyasha's, it didn't matter because we loved each other and nothing can stop that.

A smooth six years past. So what was wrong about the seventh year? My daddy got sick, that's what. He had cancer, but it came back! That was the worst year of my life! He died. And my family was broke and broken. We had nothing left.

"It's ok Kagome, we'll get through this. I know it!" Inuyasha whispered comfortably.

"No, its not Inuyasha!" I cried, "My dad died, we are broke, and mom is crying so much. Grandpa is working very hard so we have food on our table. And worst of all I can't help!"

"I know it's hard Kagie, but I'll help you get through this," he smiled. His smile always made me feel warm inside. But for some reason instead of that comforting warmth I usually felt. I felt a desire for something more, it was calming feeling, yet it scared me so much. This comforting, scary feeling was only towards Inuyasha.

"You're always there for me Inu, and I…I'm so grateful for that." I told him.

He smiled at me again and hugged me. That feeling was now burning into my heart.

After that conversation I went home. Instead of the familiar sniffles and crying I heard at home, I heard silence. I was scared that no one was home so I opened the door slowly.

"He..llo?" I said quietly.

"We are in the kitchen honey," said my mom. I took of my shoes and went towards the voice. When I entered the kitchen my mom and grandpa looked at me with a sad looks on their faces.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Honey…" my grandpa started, "we have some upsetting news. Your mother and I thought it might be best if we move to the shrine I own in Hong Kong. We have to move out of Tokyo in order to survive. We can't live here anymore since your father has past. And the little money I'm getting won't keep us in this house. If we move to Hong Kong your mother will have a job at the shrine and I can keep an eye on my employees."

I stared at them in shock. I had nothing to say. At that moment all I wanted to do was run away, cry, scream, yell, and call Inuyasha. But all I did was… nod.

"Okay it's final we are moving, one month from now," my mother announced.

That one month was the worst in my life. It was slow and painful. I didn't want to leave Tokyo, but we had to go. I didn't want to tell Inuyasha about this at all! So I begged my mother and his mother not to tell him because I should tell him. But I was scared. So when the last days came I still haven't told him.

"We should go to your house and play some video games," I suggested.

"No way! We should go to your house we haven' been there in such a long time!" he protested.

"But we can't! Mom is… umm… cleaning the floors and its all wet and umm… stuff. We shouldn't get in her way."

"You said that she was cleaning the floors yesterday. Why don't you want to go to your house? What's wrong?"

"Why would you think something is wrong? And I meant that mom is throwing away some old stuff…"

"Kagie what is wrong?" he interrupted. "And quite making up excuses about why you don't want to go home."

"It's nothing you're worrying about nothing! And I'm not avoiding anything."

"I didn't even say you were avoiding anything! So you are hiding something from me! Why won't you tell me? I thought we were best friends. Friends don't keep secrets from each other, and best friends don't lie to each other either!" he yelled at me.

"Oh, so now you're the friend expert. Well guess what Mr. I-Know-Everything-About-Being-A-Friend, then you must know that friends don't accuse other friends of lying, when they are not!"

"Fine! Then I guess we aren't friends at all!"

- - -

That was the last fight we had. Because two days later…

- - -

"Please be careful with that, it's breakable!" my mom told a mover.

We were now hours away from getting into a plane and flying away forever. Inuyasha and I haven't talked for two whole days and it was killing me. Worst of all I haven't told him we were moving…

I was walking towards the spot to have one last look before we were gone forever. I stood there for a moment thinking back to all of the special and happy memories that was there. Not one of those memories were bad, all of them were happy. The best memory of all was… it was where Inuyasha and I meet.

All of a sudden I heard.

"Why didn't you tell me?" a cold voice coming from behind me said. I quickly turned around to see… Inuyasha.

"I…I was scared. I didn't know how to! And you were mad at me..." I tried to explained.

"Those are poor excuses! We've been friends for almost eight years! We meet when we were toddlers, right at this very spot! We tell each other everything! Why couldn't you just tell me! I'm so angry right now," he paused. "I…I hate you," he whispered in the coldest voice I have ever heard. Then he walked out of my life forever...

- - -

I sighed... At that very moment I realized that, that jerk made me love him. But it doesnt matter he hates me now.

It's been five years since i've been in this spot. The spot that ruined my life forever...
