Disclaimer: I dont own Inuyasha nor any of its characters.
Note: Whew! Quite a few pairing in this story! Okay, let's see. Naturally, Kag/Sess. Kagura/Sesshoumaru, Kikyo/Inuyasha. Rin/Shippo. Souta/Kanna. Ayume/Kouga (to some extent). That's pretty much it! I dont think i'm forgetting anyone... anywho! I hope you like the story!
Kagome took one last look around their house. It was empty, save the few boxes they hadn't loaded into the truck yet. She couldn't help but feeling she as empty as the house itself. But mother needed another job if she was going to keep…well, food on the table. "Hey Kagome!" Shippo yelled from the door. "Sango's here!"
Kagome smiled as her best friend entered the house. Sango looked around with a dazed expression. "Wow…so I guess you're really leaving, huh?"
Kagome nodded. "I guess so."
The girls stared at each other before Sango started crying and hugged her, which lead Kagome to tears. "Oh this is so unfair!" She sobbed. "You aren't suppose to leave me! We're suppose to get scholarships to the same college and graduate and become famously rich!" Kagome laughed through her tears.
"I know! But I'll visit you during Christmas, and maybe Thanksgiving too!"
"Maybe? You better!" She wiped her eyes. "Now, don't you go and get a new best friend, okay?" Kagome grinned. "You're my one and only." Sango laughed. Souta cleared this throat. They turned to him. "Um, you're kind of blocking the door…and I need to get the rest of the boxes." Souta's eyes widened when Sango enveloped him in her arms. "Oh, I'm even going to miss you little Souta! Even though you annoy me a lot! And even though you pored coke all over my dress last Christmas!" Kagome laughed at the face he was making.
Souta smiled weakly. "I'm going to miss you too, nii-chan. Can you not crush me?"
"Of course not!" She squeezed him tighter. Shippo, who would later curse his bad luck, walked in. "What's wrong with Sango?" He asked Kagome. "Shippo!" Sango wailed. The red-head's eyes widened as she let go of Souta and made her way to him. Souta looked up at the ceiling and mouthed a silent 'thank you'. He left to get the other boxes.
Kagome followed him, leaving Shippo to his torture. "What did Kanna say?" She asked. The snow haired girl always freaked her out a little, but Souta really like her. Her fourteen-year-old brother picked up one of the last boxes, letting his bangs hide his eyes. "We decided a long distance relationship was a bad idea."
Kagome sighed. She was afraid of that. "I'm sorry, Souta-kun."
"Whatever." He murmured, taking the box to the truck. "Can you get that other one?" That's when they heard: "Is Souta-kio here?" Souta dropped the box and ran to the door. Kagome almost chastised him (there were glasses in there), but only smiled when she walked in the other room and Kanna was there, smiled gently. Shippo rolled his eyes at his twin and Sango glanced at her. Kagome knew the expression: that girl gives me the creeps.
"I just wanted to say goodbye one last time. I hope you don't mind my coming." Souta shook his head, staring at her with a dazed expression.
"Is everyone ready to go?" Their mother walked in. The answer was no, but no one said that out loud. "Hai, I think we're all ready okaa-san." Shippo nodded. Souta and Kanna seemed to be in their own little world.
"Wait for me." He pleaded. "I'll be back during Christmas." Kanna frowned. "That is not practical, Souta."
"To the seven hells with practical."
"Souta." Their mother warned. Souta sighed. "I have to go." Kanna nodded. "I understand." Shippo made a gagging motion when they kissed. Their mother had already walked out to the car. "Souta." Kagome said gently.
Sango hugged everyone one last time while they all climbed into the car. All three of them looked back as Kanna and Sango waved, fading into the distance. "What's that Souta?" Shippo asked. Kagome looked over. Souta had a small, white box in his hand. "Kanna gave it to me." He said shortly. They watched as he opened it. A golden heart locket fell into his hands. "Well, open it." Shippo prodded. Souta did.
Inside was a picture of Kanna on Souta's back as she smiled gently and he grinned like a fool for the camera on one side. They all read the engraved words on the other. Wait for me…
"How did she know?" Shippo wondered. Souta smiled, brightened considerably. "Because she knows me." Kagome smiled at him and Shippo just shrugged. "Whatever you say."
"You're just jealous." Souta sneered.
"What? Me? Jealous of you? Are you nuts? Why would I be jealous, Kanna was weird."
"She was not weird!" Souta said heatedly.
"She always had this creepy look–"
"Shut up Shippo!"
"Like she was going to suck out your soul–"
"I said shut it!"
"Or eat you–"
Kagome rolled her eyes as Souta attacked Shippo in the back seat. "Shippo! Souta! You two stop it!" Their mother ordered. "It's going to be a long drive." Kagome informed her.
Her mother sighed. "Hai."
Hope you guys liked the story! plz review and tell me how you like it so far! tnx!
Note: Oh yeah, Shippo and Souta are twins, fraternal twins so they dont look a like, obviously. They're only one year younger than Kagome which makes them freshman. Rin is Sesshoumaru's younger sister and Kanna is one of Kagura's cousins, as you'll find out later. Inuyasha is still Sesshoumaru's half brother...which makes him half brother to Rin. Yeah, i got that right, lol. I just didnt want anyone getting confused! anyway! Until the next chapter! Plz review!
