doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have
It was the first day of summer and like any other soon to be 2nd grader, a silver haired boy and a raven-haired girl were excited to just go out and play. "Yasha! Slow down, you're running too fast," the girl yelled out to her companion.
Inuyasha Takahashi only turned around and started to run backwards. "It's not my fault that you're a slow runner." But when he saw that she was lagging behind and close to tears by his comment, he reluctantly slowed down. The girl brightened and sped up to catch up to him.
When they reached the park, they were delighted to see that it was practically deserted and started playing tag. When Inuyasha was chasing her near the swings, he saw that a girl their age was crying on one of them.
Being the sucker he was to girls in tears, he cautiously went up to her. When he put his hand on her shoulder, the girl bolted straight up and nearly knocked him down. When she saw him, she furiously started to rub her tears away.
When she looked up, she saw that he was offering her a handkerchief. She smiled at him and gingerly took it. She wiped her eyes with it and smiled at him that left a warm feeling inside of him. "Thank you. I'm sorry if I was bothering or distracting you in any way."
Inuyasha just looked down to the side and said, "Nah, you didn't bug me. Sides, parks are for playing and stuff. You shouldn't be crying and sad." She smiled at him again and he couldn't help but smile too. "By the way, my name is Inuyasha. What's yours?"
The girl just smiled brightly and said, "I'm Kagome! Nice to meet you Inuyasha." "Well right now I'm playing tag with a friend of mine. Do you want to join us?" Kagome started jumping and clapping excitedly and nodded her head.
When they were about to run off, the girl from before came from behind them and hit Inuyasha on the shoulder. "What's the big deal leaving me alone! One minute you're behind me and the next you've vanished into thin air!"
"Ow Kikyo, that actually hurts. I was just talking to Kagome here. I didn't mean to leave you alone." It was then that Kikyo finally noticed Kagome. 'She looks almost exactly like me,' Kikyo thought.
Between the two, they both had the same physical appearance except Kagome had black hair with natural blue highlights while Kikyo had hazel highlights and Kikyo's face was more angular than Kagome's heart shaped face.
Kagome just stuck her hand out to Kikyo and smiled at her. "Hi there. I'm Kagome Higurashi. What's your name?" Kikyo just eyed the hand in front of her and was about to brush her off but one look at Inuyasha's face made her double think that.
Kikyo forced a smile to her face and shook hands with Kagome. "Hey, my name is Kikyo Miko. And I see that you already met my best friend Inuyasha." Kagome just nodded when Inuyasha interrupted their little chat.
"Hey Kikyo, I asked if Kagome if she wanted to join our game. You don't mind right?" When Kikyo looked at him and saw the look he was giving her, she just gritted her teeth and said, "Of course not. What made you think otherwise?"
When she said that, Kagome started jumping up and down. "Yay! I have new friends to play with! So who's it?" Kikyo was about to say something but Inuyasha just said that he was. For the rest of the day, the three of them played and eventually Kagome got on Kikyo's good side.
4 years later
Over the years, the three were practically inseparable. They always hung out together and had regular sleepovers at Inuyasha's place. It was at one of these sleepovers that Kagome said something that would change their lives.
As Kagome made her way up to Inuyasha's home, she couldn't help feel anxiety about her dearest friends' reactions when she told them the news. She knew that Kikyo would get over it and just say that they'll always be friends and keep in touch, but she knew her main concern was Inuyasha.
Though she might be close friends with Kikyo and had some other friends at school, she knew that Inuyasha was more special to her and that Inuyasha felt the same. Sure, he knew Kikyo longer than her but she knew deep down that he was more caring to her than Kikyo.
When she finally reached the door, she was about to ring the doorbell but was startled when the door suddenly swung open. Before she knew it, she was in Inuyasha's arms being swung around in the air. "Can you believe it Kag, we're finally going to be in middle school!"
Kagome just smiled sadly at him. "Inu-chan, you get excited over the simplest things." Inuyasha finally put her down when she said that and noticed her long face. "What's wrong, Kag?" Before she could answer, they were interrupted when Kikyo arrived.
"Hey Yasha, Kaggie, what are you guys doing just standing in the hallway?" Kagome just rolled her eyes when Kikyo called her by her "favorite" nickname. "Jeez Kiki, why must you call me 'Kaggie'?"
Kikyo just merely smiled and coolly replied, "Just giving you a nickname just as cool as the one you gave me." They both glared at each other but after awhile, they both burst into giggles and started talking animatedly into the living room, leaving a baffled Inuyasha behind.
Inuyasha shook his head when he realized that both girls left their luggage with him. He started to grumble about ungrateful girls and doing everything himself while he went to put them away.
As the day went on, Kagome couldn't put aside her dread and Inuyasha was starting to worry. When it was really apparent that Kagome had something to say, Kikyo finally noticed and asked what was wrong. Kagome just started to laugh nervously and said it was nothing.
Both Inuyasha and Kikyo looked at each other while Kagome wasn't looking and nodded their heads at each other. When Kagome looked at back at them, she saw the glint in their eyes and started to back away. "Hey guys, why are you looking at me like that?" Kagome stuttered.
"You know Kagome, it's not very nice to keep things from your friends," Kikyo said. "Especially from your best friends and those who've you've known for so long now," Inuyasha added. "What makes you guys think I'm keeping something from you?" Kagome said nervously.
"Don't play games with us Kagome. Either spit it out or we'll make you say it," Kikyo said heatedly. When Kagome saw the look on their faces, she knew she couldn't keep it from them any longer and reluctantly told them.
"My family and I are moving back to Solaria next week. I don't know when we'll be coming back but I know it won't be for a long time." When Kagome started to cry, Kikyo went up to hug her, while Inuyasha stood where he was. He bent his head down and he started to shake.
When Kagome looked up to see him like that, she tentatively called out his name. When he heard her say his name, his head snapped up and she saw that his eyes were blazing. At that, Kagome was taken back and when she started to walk to him, he backed away.
Kagome stopped in her tracks when Inuyasha softly said, "And when did you know you were going to move?" Kagome looked down and said, "About a month ago." Kagome winced when Inuyasha started to glare at her through slit eyes.
"And you didn't tell us then? What, if we didn't have this sleepover, you would have told us on your cell while riding in the car back to Solaria?!" With that said, Inuyasha stormed off outside. Both Kagome and Kikyo were shocked at Inuyasha's reaction before they both dashed to the door at the same time.
Since the door wasn't that wide, they got stuck and started to push each other out of the way. "Move your big butt out of the way Kikyo! I have to talk with Inuyasha!" "And make him even more upset? I don't think so you little twit!"
They started scratching and pulling each other's hair when Kagome finally had enough. "Listen Kikyo! I know I screwed up, and that's why I have to be the one to talk to him. So don't make this even harder than it already is, and just let me pass!"
By now, both girls were breathing hard and glaring at each other. Kikyo just blew her bangs out of the way and said, "Fine! But I'm telling you this now. If you anger him even more, you'll regret it." Kagome just nodded vigorously and sprinted outside. Kikyo just shook her head and went back to the living room.
