A/N: Well, this is the first fanfic I've submitted to .But I've been writing fanfics for about a year now. I must tell you, I'm bad at spelling. I recently gave one of my friends a fanfic to read, and she loved it. This is my first Inu/Kag going theme I've writen, so be nice! Read and Review!

Chapter 1: Begining of the End.

"Listen, Kagome. I can't see you anymore. It's just you always seem so tied up in the work and taking care of your family, that I never have time to be with you." said the man with light brown hair. His deep brown eyes gleemed down into the girl infront of him.

"But, Houjo.." the girl started, but stampered off. Her long raven hair blowing slightly in the wind, as did her short yellow sundress. Her own eyes were full of sadness, not knowing why her boyfriend of three years would just break up with her.

"No. I'm sorry, Kagome. But I'm ending us. I've been seeing someone else who cares more about me then you have been lately." Houjo said, turning his back to her.

Kagome placed a clentched hand over her heart, feeling the great beating of it, faster then it should be. Her gaze dropped to the pavement under her brown sandles. She quieted a sniffle.

"Goodbye, Kagome." said her boyfriend, taking smooth strides into his car.

"Houjo!" Kagome yelled, tears streaming her pale peachy face. Her own dark brown eyes following where her now ex-boyfriend walked. She ran after him, seeing him step into his car. He turned the engine on and zoomed away, leaving Kagome to run in the middle of the streets, arms at her side, tear-stained cheaks, and a sad expression on her face.

Her breath was shaky, and she couldn't help but feel unwanted. Avoided. Betrayed. Unloved.

That was a few months ago. Kagome's mother was in the hospital at the time, her needing surgery for a failing artery. Her younger brother Souta was staying with her, while she helped her grandfather clean the family shrine and manage it. Mrs. Higurashi was fine after the sugery, but sadly the girl's grandfather died from old age.

It was seemingly going downhill in Kagome's life. And she was just twenty-two! Her father had died when she was younger, while Souta was a little over two years.

She felt Houjo had an ice heart because of why he left her. As if her life wasn't already bad enough! She thought of it as the begining of the end of her life.

"Kagome! Wake up, sweetie!" a loving voice called out towards the sleeping girl. Kagome was hidden under massive green and blue comfiters, wanting to excape the light of the sun shining in through her bedroom window.

"Go away, Sango! Who let you in, anyway?" came the muffled respone of Kagome, not showing any movement under her mound of blankets.

"Kaede did. I told her you had to wake up now. She didn't mind at all. So hurry up, would ya?" said the girl, seemingly older by a year or two. She had deep brown, almost black hair in a high pony tail, the hair style she usually wore her darklocks in. She wore a pink tank top and red over shirt, with regular jeans. She tapped her red and white sneakered foot, a habit she had gotten used to when she was getting aggravated. Her brown eyes narrowed at the girl in her bed. "Kagome, it's 10:57. Wake up already!"

A body shot up from under the covers, eyes glaring at the girl in front of her. Her blue and teal pajama top had seven buttons, the first two unbuttoned, and tied matching pants. Her ebony hair was a mess. "I don't care. I have no work today."

"Which is exactly why you are getting up! We are going to be late meeting Rin at the diner!" Sango said, pointing at Kagome's clock.

The younger girl groaned, lifting herself from her bed. She placed her bare feet on the polished wood floor, feeling the coldness against her warm skin. She walked out of her room, walking into the bathroom. She stripped her pajamas and went into the shower, feeling the warm water beating down on her. She sighed feeling the confort of the water.

After ten minutes, Kagome turned the water off, wrapped a fuzzy towal around her perfect body, and stepped out of the shower/bathtub. She walked out of the steamy bathroom, walking back into her room. She saw Sango sitting on her computer chair, awaiting her return.

"What are we doing after we meet Rin?" asked the raven-haired woman.

"Well, we were thinking about going to the mall or something." Sango said, shrugging slightly.

Kagome nodded, tossing some still wet hair behind her shoulder, looking into her drawers of clothes. She picked out a simple green button down short sleaved tee and some deep blue hip hugger jeans. She looked over at Sango, who approved. She nodded again, Sango leaving the room. Kagome placed on a white lacy bra and matching underwear. She pulled on the jeans, placing sock on her feet, and white running shoes. She pulled her shirt on over her head, straightening it out once she had buttoned up the top buton. When she had worn it last, while she was still dating Huojo, Kagome had always unbutoned atleast one button, but now she liked to conceal herself.

She sat down infront of her mirror drawer set, plugging in the blow drier and taking her soft bristled brush in her left hand and delicately brushed through her long black hair. She turned the blow drier on, her hair slowly drying. She pulled it back, placing it in a messy bun. She stood, grabbing her sweatshirt and small purse, and walked down the hall of her story of the ten storybuilding. She met Sango in the kitchen, seeing her reading the newspaper.

"Alright, nagger. Let's go." Kagome said, grabbing Sango's car keys. Sango place the newspaper down on the table, and came up next to Kagome, as they linked arms.

They stepped out of Kagome's portion of the building, locking the door, and heading down the stairs to their left. They made it to the main floor, seeing an old woman at the front desk. Her grey hair was long, and in a low pony tail. Her peachy skin was wrinkley, to the naked eye. She wore a comfortable pair of sweats and a grey short sleave.

"Good morning, Kaede." the girls said, smiling at the old woman.

"Hello again Sango. And good morning, Miss Kagome." replied the old woman. "Where are you off to, today ladies?"

"Just the Tetsusaiga Diner. And maybe the mall afterwards." Sango answered, dragging Kagome towards the exit.

"Bye Kaede!" called the younger girl, as the older one pushed her out the door.

Sango looked back at Kaede and smiled, winking at her. Kaede just smiled and winked back.

"Kagome! Sango!" a voice cried out, as the two woman entered the diner. They looked to see another woman sitting at a table for three. The woman's hair was dark dark brown, a small side ponytail occupied her hair style, and she was an orange small tee and jeans. A smile planted on her face, as the girls came up to her, both giving her a hug.

"Hey Rin." Sango smiled, sitting down next to Rin.

"Yo." Kagome said, smiling, sitting opposite the both of them.

"How are you doing, Kagome." asked Rin, seriousness clear in her voice.

"I'm doin' okay." Kagome said, burying her face in her.

Rin and Sango exchanged glances, but didn't let their friend know of their secrets. They watched as the waiter came over and took Kagome's order. Then Kagome looked back at the two, her head slightly tilting her head to the left, giving a confused expression. Her friends just smiled sweetly to the bewildered girl.

Something's up.. What's going on with them? thought the rvaen-haired woman, as the waiter came back with her coffee.

A/N: Yay! The first one of done! Sweet! Well, don't know what to say right now. A little bit about me.
