So I haven't updated in about two years and I've come back read this story again and half of the things I wrote I'm like WTF? Anyways I wanted to revise all the chapters and post them again. Some things will be different. I'm leaving the other one up so you can read that too but remember things will be different. Just so you guys know in the past two years I've finished high school (Yay!) and my first year of University! Yes college is hard. Hopefully some of you guys stuck around and like my revised version better. If there is any misspelling I'm sorry I have no beta. If the format is weird it's because I did it from an Ipad and there's only so much I can do.

UPDATE: Feb. 20, 2014.

Good grief. What is all this? I know it's been so long and I apologize. I've re-read my story. Again. And it's awful. This revised version is better and I like it but the original is just... Ugh. I was 16 when I started this and now I'm 21 and I want to smack the 16 year old me in the face.

Two years ago.

Kagome jumped when she heard the thunder. She knew it was going to be a bad storm and the rain hadn't even started yet. She let the curtains fall back into place and decided to call it an early night.

Halfway up the stairs to her room she heard her phone ring. She made a mad dash to get it but she was too late. She was about to open it and see who it was when it rang again.

Caller I.D. Sesshomaru

She hesitated for a second. "Hello?"

"Kagome." A deep voice answered on the other end.

"Sesshomaru? What's up?" She sat on her bed and waited for him to reply.

She heard a deep sob escape him. She was the only one he ever went to when he was in need of an emotional outlet. She knew something was wrong if he was crying. Sesshomaru never cried.

Kagome sat up straighter and knew right away something was wrong. "Sesshomaru what is it? Do you want me to come over?" She knew she couldn't but for him she'd sneak out.

"Yes." Was his anguished reply

"Ok I'll be over as soon as I can." She slammed her phone shut and threw at the end of her bed.

She was ready in ten minutes and was out the house in five. She knew she was going to be in so much trouble but she didn't care.

That night Sesshomaru's mother died. She didn't know the cause. He never said and she never asked. That night he needed her and she gave herself to him in more ways than one.

IYOY

Present Day.

She passed him in the hallway like she did everyday and everyday it was the same thing. He didn't even glance at her. She didn't know why she worried about it but there were times that she hoped that he would acknowledge her at school. There was no point of hoping. Since that night two years ago things were never the same for them. Yes they talked, but not like they use to. At least not in public. No, they didn't hug or kiss in private, never that, but there were no more private jokes between them or looks that the other would immediately understand. Things were different. She'd talk to him when she got home. He was always at her house even if she wasn't.

Inuyasha watched Kagome as she watched his brother. He couldn't stand to see her suffer.

"Don't worry about it Kagome." She looked at her longtime friend beside Sesshomaru. Inuyasha.

She smiled and said, "I'm not."

Inuyasha was Sesshomaru's younger half brother and both had a strong dislike for one another. Even though Sesshomaru was older, Inuyasha and Kagome were in the same grade as him due to Sesshmaru registering late. Kagome glanced at Inuyasha and wondered how different things would've been if she'd fallen in love with Inuyasha instead. Less problems for sure, she thought.

Inuyasha glanced at her and casually asked, "So you tell him yet?"

She blushed. That was a definite no. She concentrated on opening her locker to avoid the look Inuyasha was giving her.

"No every time I'm about to tell him I either chicken out or we get interrupted." She made a point to look at Inuyasha. She finished putting everything in her locker and slammed it shut. Inuyasha winced.

He blushed. He started to laugh nervously and scratch his head, "How was I supposed to know you were about to tell him.

"Oh I don't know," she said," You know those two dog ears you have on the top of your head, USE THEM!"

With that said she walked out the school parking lot and started the 15 minute walk home.

'I'm going to tell him today, there's only two days left before summer starts and I leave that same day.'

She finally reached her home and started up the steps. She knew he would be there after he dropped off his current girlfriend home.

She stopped at the top of the shrine steps and looked down. 'Why am I still his friend?'

Oh yeah, she thought bitterly, because I love him. Even if he barely notices me at school he only talks to me when he wants something and at home and that's sometimes not always. She grimaced when she remembered that particular night two years ago.

She didn't regret that night, but for a month he didn't talk to her and then when he did it was as if nothing happened. He never brought it up and neither did she. Though she never regrets that night there are time she wished it never happened mainly because their friendship suffered. Everything was fine but as the year passed he started to distance himself from her and she never knew why.

No point dwelling in the past, she mused. She was already in her room packing the remainder of her stuff to leave in two days. She heard the front door open and knew it was none other than Sesshomaru. He was the only person to walk into her house and not say a greeting to anyone.

'Stuck up dog.' She thought.

Just because he never greeted anyone it never meant he didn't talk to them. She could hear the deep rumble of his voice and her mother's from downstairs. He must of said something funny because her mother started laughing. She heard the creak of the stairs and knew he was on the way up. She tried to give herself a little pep talk to tell him she was leaving. 'It's now or never.'

"Kagome"

She wanted to laugh. 'Why do I care?'

Kagome took a deep breath and said, "Sesshomaru I wanted to tell you that in two day I'm leaving Japan to go to America. I'll be back when school starts again. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." She continued packing as she talked. She didn't turn around. If she did she would start crying.

"Why?" She hated his one worded replies.

"I don't know. Experience another culture. Have fun. To get away from here. I'm staying with some family friends in California." At this point she had stopped packing.

"Have fun." Were his last words before he walked out her bedroom. She jumped when she heard the front door slam.

She waited until she was sure he was a good distance away before she broke down.

She vowed to herself when she came back she would be different. She wouldn't live loving Sesshomaru and never getting anything in return. It's time she thought of herself.

Well I've gone back and changed and added somethings. Hope you like it.
