Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha...or ANYONE from the show for that matter...so don't sue ;-;!!

Faye: Oi, you people are picky...I put Ups, Downs on hold just to get this out to YA'LL! -.-' I know how much you want to see if Kagome and Inuyasha get back together...and I can't write Ups, Downs for some reason....so I might put that off altogether...you know? I don't know...I'll have to see...it's mostly because I want to get a few other stories out before I have to do some boring one that's like exactly the same...So I'll probably not write it and take it off all together...anyway....here's what you've waited for, for god knows how long....!!!

THE TURNING POINT

Chapter 1

"I hate this continent! I want to go back home!" Kagome yelled. "MOM! Are you even listening to me?!"

"Kagome! It's done!' Her mother sighed.

Kagome broke down and cried. "I have friends in Japan...I have a LOVER in Japan!"

"Oh Kagome, I'd HARDLY call him your lover!" Her mother rolled her eyes.

"You have no clue how much I love him!" Kagome said through gritted teeth.

"Oh honey, I do. That's how I felt about my boyfriends...thought I loved them. I soon found out it was nothing more than puppy love."

"God damn you, mom! I want nothing more than to be back with my LOVER! And don't you dare say it's just puppy love! I love him more than anything imaginable! I want nothing, but to be in his arms right now!" Kagome growled, stomping up to her room and slamming the door.

"Kagome! NEVER say damn in front of me EVER again!"

"Burn in Hell!" Kagome sobbed. She had never been so cruel to her mother before, but she deserved it. Kagome wanted to go home. She missed her friends. She missed Inuyasha.

"Mom! Why do you have to make Kagome stay here!? Can't you see? She's miserable!" Little Souta told his mother.

"Look, she's going to stay here! That's how it is."

"Mom, I never knew how mean you were to Kagome. I feel so bad for her! She deserves a much better life!" Souta said, running up to his room.

Inuyasha was sitting in his room thinking about Kagome while talking to Kikyo on the phone. No, he was not going to give up on Kagome, but Kikyo had called him. He didn't enjoy talking to her when she caused so much pain for him. She even reminded him of Kagome just so he'd be mad.

"Look Kikyo, I don't want to talk to you right now. I'm waiting for a phone call." Inuyasha rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Inuyasha..." Kikyo's voice was soft on the other line. "How long?"

"How long? What do you mean?"

"How long will you wait." Kikyo sighed.

"Forever." Inuyasha said, clearly proud of saying it as well.

"Why? Why wait so long for a girl who no longer lives in this continent? She won't call..."

"She will call." Inuyasha responded. He knew she'd call. He was positive she would.

"She'll be the death of you." Kikyo coughed. "You haven't...cried, have you?"

"Cry? Me? Me cry? What the hell are you smoking!? I never cry." Inuyasha growled.

"Inuyasha...you cried." Kikyo said positively, and right then she sounded so much like Kagome it was unreal.

"Look...who cares? I cried! I love her, alright. Love is a feeling you can't feel..." Inuyasha mumbled.

"No, you have that wrong. Love...is a feeling YOU can not feel. I can feel it."

"For who? Naraku...pfft...yeah right."

"Don't even go there with me Inuyasha, I fell in love with you."

"YOU broke up with ME! I didn't even want to break up! I thought I loved you, but now I realize that I didn't love you one little bit." Inuyasha hissed.

"Then how do you know you're in love with Kagome."

"...I don't know, but I'm going to go. Like I said, I'm waiting for a phone call."

"You wait...you cry...you suffer." Kikyo said then hung up.

"Right...whatever." Inuyasha hung up his phone and it started ringing right away. "Hello! Kagome"

"No..."

"Oh...hi Sango."

"Thanks. I feel loved."

"I was just waiting for Kagome." Inuyasha sighed.

"I know. She called me..." Sango said quietly.

"What?! Why didn't she call me!" Inuyasha responded.

"Inuyasha...you might be her boyfriend, but for goodness sakes, I'm her best friend."

"I'm sorry. I just...miss her." Inuyasha sighed.

"You sigh so much these days Inuyasha. I want to see you happy for once."

"I can't be happy! Could you be happy if the person you may have fallen in love with moved away." Inuyasha stood up for himself.

"I would be sad..." Sango quietly replied doubtfully.

"See? I told you."

"BUT I wouldn't let it get to me so much that I was unhappy around people and made them sad!" Sango retorted.

"Whatever. I'm waiting for a phone call."

"Kagome?"

"Yeah."

"She won't call."

"She'll call."

"No...she won't. That's why I called you." Sango declared.

"Then why didn't you tell me before?"

"Because you wouldn't let me. Anyway, she told me that..." Sango cut off.

"Told you what?" Inuyasha said a bit annoyed.

"That she...won't be calling you anymore." Sango scrunched up her eyes at the response she might get, but there was silence on the other end.

The silence lasted about two minutes before Inuyasha said anything. "Why?"

"She said if she had anything to tell you she'd tell me to tell you it. It was too hard for her to talk to you when she can't see you. She also told me to tell you that she loved you and she told her mom you were her lover..."

Inuyasha smiled a bit at that. "I wish it wasn't hard for her to talk to me...I need to hear her voice again, Sango."

"Then you call her...but don't tell her I told you to, because she'd kill me."

"I'll call her..." Inuyasha sighed.

"Oh yeah! She said that the time zones are so totally different that when she tried to get a hold of you, you were asleep because it was so late." Sango giggled.

"Oh great...I missed a call."

"Look don't worry. She loves you, okay? Be happy with that. I got to go though. Let you decide if you want to call her or not. Bye bye!" Sango said cheerfully.

"Yeah, bye." Inuyasha clicked his phone off.

'So...she won't be calling anymore...It's up to me to call her. I wonder why. Why does it hurt her to hear my voice...'

Kagome was unpacking her clothes and putting them into her drawer. She started school the next day even though she really didn't want to go. She sighed as she dragged her clothes out of the suitcases that had been piled up on her wall. Kagome glanced over at the outfit she was to wear the next day. She'd never worn anything that wasn't a school outfit to school before. She had a yellow miniskirt with a white tank-top that went under a lacy over-shirt. She also had white sandals to match.

Kagome didn't want to go to school. She just wanted to go home. Back to Inuyasha, back to all her friends. As Kagome finished with one suitcase and was about to move on to another one her cell phone began to ring. She looked at it for a bit, fighting with herself if she should answer it or not, she decided to and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Kagome..."

"Inuyasha! Didn't Sango tell you that I..." Kagome blushed on her side of the phone as a tear fell down the receiver.

"Look Kagome, I know you didn't want to hear my voice again...but I HAD to hear yours. If it'll make you happy I won't even talk, I just want to hear you talk."

"Oh Inuyasha..." More tears fell down the receiver, landing on random objects.

"Kagome..."

"I love you, Inuyasha." Kagome sobbed.

Right when Kagome said that her mother passed her door, knowing it wasn't right Kagome's mother stood by the door and listened. She loved her daughter, and she hated being so cruel to her and not letting her go home to her friends and boyfriend, but it was something she had to do. She wanted nothing more than to send Kagome back to Japan, but she didn't want to lose her either.

"Kagome, I love you too. By the way Kikyo called me." Inuyasha said, the last bit with a snort.

"Kikyo called you! Why?" Kagome responded quickly.

"Kikyo?" Ms. Higurashi whispered behind the door. "Who's that?"

"Yeah...Kikyo called. I'm not really sure why. I think she wanted to make me feel sad that you were gone. She said something like 'You're not crying are you?' and I told her I didn't cry but...then she said "You cried." Oh and Kagome it's the truth! I cried! I miss you so much!" Inuyasha confessed, a tear rolling down his cheek.

Kagome gasped. "She cried over me? Inuyasha, I thought you never cried." Kagome giggled while wiping away some tears.

"I thought that too, but I love you too much to lose you!"

"Oh Inuyasha...that's so sweet. I don't know what to say anymore."

"Don't say anything, Kagome. I'll always stay with you, until you don't want me anymore."

"Inuyasha, you have that wrong. I'LL always stand by YOU, until you don't want me there anymore." Kagome smiled.

"Oh Kagome...how can you make me feel like such a terrible mother." Tears welled up in Ms. Higurashi's eyes.

"Kagome...I'll always want you by my side..." Inuyasha said softly.

"Anyway...I need to finish unpacking, and it's late. I have school tomorrow." Kagome sighed.

"Sad to be you."

"What time is it there?"

"Eh...early afternoon."

"You suck. Anyway...bye! I love you so, so, so, so, sooo much!" Kagome stated.

"Oh yeah? Well...I love you more."

"No, you don't...I love YOU more." Kagome giggled.

"No...you still have that wrong, my love, I love YOU more." Inuyasha chuckled.

"Oh Inuyasha...I love you so much it's not even imaginable, but I must go. Bye. Love you." Kagome made a kissing sound on the phone and hung up.

"Bye." Inuyasha hung up as well.

Kagome fell onto her bed and sighed happily. "Oh Inuyasha...I'm so in love with you." Kagome sighed again before she heard a knock on her door.

"Kagome?"

"Yes, mom...what is it?" Kagome responded annoyed.

"Can I come in?"

"Whatever." Kagome rolled her eyes. How she hated this, her mom was eavesdropping now. 'Love you too, mom...especially when you eavesdrop on my damn conversations.' She thought to herself.

"I really don't want to hear that language from you again. Some of those words you said today were not appropriate to come out of a decent, young lady's mouth." Kagome's mother scolded.

"What if I'm not a 'decent young lady'?" Kagome said, putting quotation marks around decent, young lady.

"Well, you are. I know it and you know it. Anyway, I know it wasn't right of me, but I..." Ms. Higurashi was cut off.

"Were eavesdropping?" Kagome glared.

Ms. Higurashi sighed. "Was eavesdropping."

"How could you, mom? You have no right in listening to my conversations! I don't listen to yours! Stop listening to mine. God..." Kagome hissed.

"Look, Kagome. It made me realize a lot of things. I feel like a bad mother and shouldn't have ever made you move here with us. You could have moved in with Sango...or even Inuyasha since you two are so much in love."

"Mom...It doesn't matter what's done is done." Kagome looked away from her mother toward the door where her little brother was peering in on the girls.

"Look...your grandmother is suspected to die within the year, that is why she made the wish to come to America. We'll go back home, we haven't sold our house yet. Can you hold out for a year." Ms. Higurashi replied softly to her daughter.

"I suppose I can try. I won't fit in. This isn't my place, and what if grandma doesn't die within a year."

"Oh honey, she's in such poor health I'd be surprised if she lived the full year."

"Mom, she's known to surprise everyone."

"That is true. Well, we'll stay with her until she dies, but it's two years until you're eighteen, Kagome. When you are that age and if grandma is still alive you have my support in moving back there."

"Thanks mom. I'm going to go to bed though. I've had a long night. I'm too tired and I start school tomorrow." Kagome yawned.

"Yes, well, I'm going to work tomorrow."

"You got a job?" Kagome inquired.

"Yes, and you should get one as well. Work up for the money to get back to Japan." Ms. Higurashi smiled. "Now I won't be here in the morning, so you'll remember to take your brother to school? You remember the way to yours and his school as well don't you?"

"Yes, mom I know the drill. I know where it is."

"Alright, goodnight then." Ms. Higurashi smiled at her daughter and walked out of the room.

"Night." Kagome said, watching her mom close the door. When the door was fully closed Kagome dug through her suitcases that she hadn't unpacked to find her pajamas. Once she found them she put them on quickly. It was the pajama outfit Inuyasha had bought for her. The little silky kitty cat top that said "Don't mess with me" on the front and the silky black bottoms with white paw prints that said "I'll mess back" on the butt. She smiled at remembering her wonderful pajamas' history.

"Goodnight love." Kagome sweetly said, kissing a picture of Inuyasha, and began giggling for being so foolish. She pulled the blankets from the top of her bed and slid underneath them.
