Cruise

Prologue

This is a story about a young sixteen year old girl who had her life change forever. Her heart broke to pieces the day the news was heard. Her life changed and she thought nothing could get better. She felt her whole world was turning upside down, until one boy made her see that even though life may seem horrible It really isn't. He took her away from Tokyo and showed her the real world outside her pain. This young girl was named Kagome Kameka Higurashi and the tale of how one boy, Inuyasha Akira Takasugi. He made her see the real world and showed her how life can be more than pain and sorrow. Maybe I'll start with the beginning.

" Kagome! Kagome Kameka Higurashi! Get back here now!" A young man around sixteen, seventeen, shouted through the sound of thunder and rain.

" Kagome not funny! Please come back!" A young burnett haired girl shouted.

" Lady Kagome please come back! We're worried about you!" A man with black hair pulled in a pony tail, shouted as the three searched the dark, cold woods.

" Inuyasha I don't see her!" The young girl shouted.

" Sango keep looking! She has to be here!" Inuaysha the silver haired hanyou shouted across the rolling thunder.

" Inuyasha can't you smell her scent?" Inuyasha turned to glare at the black haired teenager.

" Miroku you moron! It's raining her scent isn't reachable!" Sango shouted to the stunned monk.

" Right." They continued back to the search.

They searched a good two hours until they closed in on a weeping sound. ' Is it you Kagome? Please be okay.' Kagome sat under a tree soaking wet. She was clinging to a picture of two people and a teenage girl.

' Mom, dad. Why did you go?'

Flashback

" I believe that you like him Kagome!" A beautiful woman in her late thirties teased Kagome.

" Mom that's really not funny!" Kagome said from the back seat of their

volkswagon.

" Ayeka leave her alone. You know she hates it when you talk about her and Inuyasha. Even though it is true." A nice handsome man in his late thirties, said.

" Thanx dad." Kagome stuck her tongue out at her mom.

" You'll catch flies like that dear." Kagome automatically closed her mouth.

"But Toku, you know Inuyasha and Kagome make a cute couple. They have been best friends since what, they were toddlers?" Toku nodded.

" Yes they are cute together, and I trust Inuyasha. He's responsible and he loves our daughter very much. He's just what she needs for a first boyfriend." Kagome hit his shoulder and he laughed.

" Dad please! Inuyasha and I are just best friends. Nothing more!" Kagome was blushing madly now. Ayeka turned from the passenger seat of the car.

" Then why are you blushing like a red tomato? You like Inuyasha don't you!" Kagome turned her face.

" No!" Ayeka and Toku laughed.

" Awful fast there huh dear." He turned to his beautiful wife.

" Yes dear..." Ayeka looked ahead. " Toku look out!" His head jerked and there he saw a car speeding their way, honking like no tomorrow.

" Dad, Mom! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The car screeched and flew off the side of the road. It slammed into a tree. Kagome was knocked unconscious, wish they could say the same for her parents.

Kagome was in a coma for two weeks after the accident. She awoke in a white room with the sun gleaming on her face. She felt a grasp on her hand and she turned to see non other than Inuyasha holding her tight, he was asleep with his head on his arms and his left hand clasped to her right. She smiled and then remembered what happened, she gasped. She made and attempt to get up, but two strong hands held her down. She looked up to see Inuyasha staring at her.

" You mustn't move Kagome. You're still to weak." She lied back down and looked around.

" Inuyasha were am I? Were are my parents?" She looked over to see tears running down his face. She reached up to wipe them away. " Why are you crying Inuyasha? Did something happen? Were are they?" Inuaysha placed a finger to her lips.

" Shhhh... It's alright, but Kagome...Ayeka and Toku didn't make it. The car crash killed them and you were left in a coma for two weeks. I'm sorry Kagome." Kagome started to cry like a baby. She couldn't help it, her family was gone and she was alone. Inuyasha pulled a letter from his pocket. " Your grandfather brought this to you earlier. He said your parents left it to you when you were born." Kagome wrapped moist fingers around the small letter.

She opened it slowly. It read:

Our dearest Kagome,

This letter is to you on the day you were born. Kagome I am your mother Ayeka and I am here to tell you about what we leave to you if we pass on. I hope your father and I see you grow up into a beautiful young lady and to see you fall in love. I am going to tell you something that your father and I want you to have. When and if we die before you are old enough to take care of yourself, we leave you a mansion in Tokyo just down the street for the family Shrine. Your grandfather can take care of himself if you are older than fifteen and are able to move out. If not you will live with him until you're older. We also leave you with plenty of money. Thanks to your dad's family business at Higurashi corp. We are able to leave you behind more than fifty grand.

The mansion is called, Higurashi Manor and is already paid for. When your father, Toku Higurashi, bought it he paid the place for a lifetime of work. You have nothing to worry about, and I...we hope we live to see you get married and have a child. Your father and I are very please to have a child and we thank Kami it's you. If we pass on before we see this day, we hope you have great friends and someone who loves you so they may live with you in your mansion.

It's way to big for only you and your grandfather refuses to move out of the family Shrine. We hope you like your gifts dear, and we love you always and eternity. Please be safe and have a great life. We love you Kagome Kameka Higurashi and no matter what we will watch over you, no matter were we are.

Love always,

Ayeka Higurashi and Toku Higurashi

( Your loving parents )

Kagome set the letter down and cried more. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and aloud her to cry. She clung to him as if he was going to leave her too. He lifted her chin. " As the letter said 'someone who loves you so they may live with you in your mansion'. Kagome I will stay with you so you may have someone to live with." Inuyasha blushed as Kagome brought her hand to his cheek in a loving gesture.

" You mean you, Inuyasha Akira Takasugi, love me?" Kagome blushed as his amber eyes searched hers. He nodded slowly as her chestnut eyes slowly made her way to his. He closed his eyes and met her lips softly upon his. They pulled away. " My mom was right. I do love you. Your the boy they said I would have when I grew up. Your the boy mom was talking about." Inuyasha looked at her. Kagome shook her head. " Hmm never mind. I love you Inuyasha."

" And I love you." They kissed with another soft touch. Kagome blushing as she thought.

" Mom thank you. Dad thank you too. I see what you were talking about. You sent me the perfect guy. I love you always. Thank you.. thank you.." She began to cry again as Inuyasha hugged her close. Tears of his own falling from his face.

End of Flashback

" I will live with you so you may have someone to love. He said that. He said he loves me. I ran away like a fool! All the memories of the shrine and I ran! Stupid Kagome!" Kagome stood, clothes dripping wet and her hair a mess. She still clung to the picture of her and her parents. She walked from the tree to reveal her self to Inuaysha, Sango, and Miroku, Sango and Miroku. They came to find her, why not they are after all her best friends too. Inuaysha whipped around as he heard the soft, ' Inuyasha', escape her lips. Sango and Miroku turned as well. Inuyasha ran and picked her up swinging her around. He clung to her tears flowing down his face. He looked at her stained on. Mud and dirt covered her beautiful face, her big chestnut eyes wide with happiness.

" You have to promised to love me forever and never let me go. I need you Inuyasha." Kagome whispered her face know buried in his kimono. Inuaysha looked down at her.

" I promise Kagome, forever and always." Sango know tearing up ran to hug her best friend, Miroku not to far behind. They all hugged in the falling rain. Inuyasha carried Kagome to the shrine were she slept. They decided to go to the Mansion when she was ready, maybe tomorrow she would be. Sango clung to Miroku's arm as the walked. He bent over and whispered in her ear.

"I promise too Sango. I'll love you forever and always, I'll never let you go." Sango looked up at his violet eyes as she blushed. He placed a soft kiss to her lips. They pulled away and she lied her head to his chest after he scooped her up too. They both fell asleep in the arms of their lovers.

And that's how it happened. Kagome's beloved parents died in the car crash as she somehow managed to survive. Some say it was her miko powers, which I gratefully believe. So that's how her life changed, and it's going to take a lot to make her see that life is more than sorrow and pain, that there is a real world beyond her shattered heart. Can Inuaysha, Sango, and Miroku make her see this real world, or is she doomed to a life of misery, pain, and sorrow. Stay tuned.
