"Okay honey! You better hurry up, you don't want to be late to your first day do you?" Mrs. Higurashi called up from the kitchen in their house. She had been waiting for Kagome for almost an hour now...she was such a girl. She had been switching outfits the whole time and every time she came down the stairs, she decided she wanted to change again.

"Kagome we don't have time for this anymore. If we aren't there in 15 minutes, you'll have to wait until next year to start school! Besides, don't you want to see Inuyasha again?"

"Okay okay mom, I'm ready." Ignoring that last comment, Kagome came down the stair case ready for her first day in her new high school. Besides, she didn't even know if she would see him. They might not even have classes together. She would be going into her sophomore year. Being able to come back to this school was the only reason Kagome didn't throw a fit when she found out they were moving.

Here, let's back up a little...

(10 years ago)

"Kagome let's get going! You are going to be late for school!" Mrs. Higurashi said to her daughter.

"Okay mommy, I'm ready to go" (Kagome has always taken a long time to get ready, especially on her first day to a new school)

Kagome and her mother started to walk over to the kindergarten that was just 3 blocks away from their house. They walked down the sidewalk hand in hand. Kagome was so excited to start school! She loved meeting new people. The only thing that she had been talking about for the past month and a half was how much fun she would have, and now the awaited day was finally here.

10 minutes after they left their house, they had reached Kagome's school.

"Kagome dear, I will be back here at twelve to pick you up. Have fun and remember, be nice."

Her mother kissed her on the forehead and Kagome wet darting off towards he children. She didn't have to go very far though because a little boy with silver hair and dog ears ran up to her and stopped her half way to the other children.

"Hi there! I'm Inuyasha, who are you?"

"Hey! My name is Kagome"

"Kagome, that's a pretty name!"

"Thanks!" They started to walk off to the other kids, Inuyasha introducing Kagome to his best friends Miroku and Sango.

"That's funny, that boy had silver dog ears, I wonder..." Mrs. Higurashi said, more to herself than anyone else.

"Higurashi?" Came a voice from behind her

Mrs. Higurashi whipped around. She knew that voice. "Izayou! It's been years!"

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm just dropping off my daughter Kagome. She's over there talking to..." before she could say anything else, Izayou interrupted her.

"Inuyasha! Good, our children have already met!"

"And it looks like they're getting along great. This is wonderful; they can be best friends just like we were."

"Were?"

"I mean are" The two mothers started laughing as they headed out to a late breakfast to catch up and then went to go pick their children back up at noon.

"Mom!" Inuyasha yelled running up to her. "I want to introduce you to someone. Mom this is..."

"Kagome" his mother interrupted him.

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"This is her mother, we have been best friends practically our entire lives. We are here to walk you two home."

"You guys are going to have so much fun together! We can do all sorts of things together. I know! Why don't you, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru and Inutashio all come over for dinner tonight?" Mrs. Higurashi said.

"That would be great!" Izayou said walking next to her friend toward their houses. Inuyasha and his family lived a block closer than Kagome to the school, so they could all walk together.

The two women were walking ahead of their children chatting up a storm with their children right behind them, holding hands.

"This is going to be great! We'll get to do all sorts of things together." Inuyasha said to Kagome

"Yeah, this will be great."

From that moment on, the two were inseparable, that is, until Kagome moved away. Her parents got divorced the summer she was going into the forth grade. Her mom got custody of her and her younger brother Souta, and they moved to America.

When Kagome told Inuyasha they were moving, he threw a fit. He was so angry. He couldn't believe they were taking Kagome away from him.

"It's okay Inuyasha. Mom says it's only for a little bit. She just needs some time away. We can still talk on the phone, nothing has to change, we can still be best friends,"

"You're right" Inuyasha said. He sat down on his bed next to her. "When do you leave?"

"In three days." Kagome said looking down at the floor. She knew he would be angry again.

She was right. He jumped off of the bed and started yelling again. "THREE DAYS! THAT'S ALL WE HAVE! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS KAGOME!"

"It's okay." she said pulling him back onto the bed, trying to calm him down. "We can spend tomorrow and the next day together. But then I have to pack. Your mom invited me over for dinner on Saturday night, but then I leave early the next morning."

"And there's nothing I can do to make your mom change her mind right?" Kagome simply nodded to this. "Well fine, tomorrow is Thursday. You, me, Sango, and Miroku will go to the carnival. Then on Friday, we can all see a movie."

"Sure, that would be great!"

(Okay, this chapter is turning out A LOT longer than I expected, so I'm going to skip to after dinner on Saturday night)

"Thanks for dinner! It was delicious." Kagome said heading towards the door.

"Your welcome. Have a good flight tomorrow and keep in touch!" said Izayou as she saw the girl leaving.

"Oh I will. I'll miss you all!"

"We'll miss you too dear. Inuyasha, where are you going?"

"I'm going to walk Kagome home. I'll be back in 20 minutes."

"Okay then" Inutashio said. The door shut and he looked at his wife. "20 minutes? It only takes 5 minutes to walk to Kagome's house from here. What do you think they're going to do?"

"Oh hush." She said smacking him with a dish cloth. "He just has to say goodbye. He wants to spend as much time with her before she leave."

(With Inuyasha and Kagome)

"You know Inuyasha, I could have just ad my mom pick me up. It's getting dark." Kagome said looking at him

"Yeah I know. But then I wouldn't get to spend as much time with you." He smiled as he looked over at her with a smile. He saw her shivering as a breeze went by. "Are you cold?" He asked knowing the answer already.

"A little..." Suddenly she had Inuyasha's jacket draped across her shoulders. She smiled at the gesture and looked up at him. "Thank Inuyasha."

"No problem." He smiled back at her. They both looked back down at the sidewalk, and then Kagome nudged her hand against his. She blushed a little as he grabbed her hand in response. They walked in silence for another minute or two and then stopped as they approached her front step.

"Here we are." Inuyasha said looking at Kagome. She started to take off the jacket but he stopped her. "No, keep it"

"Inuyasha, I'm moving to America. This is your favorite jacket; you might not ever get it back."

"I know," Inuyasha said blushing a little. "But I want you to keep it. You can wear it whenever you want and when you do, you'll think of me."

She smiled "Oh Inuyasha!" She jumped at him and threw her arms around him. "You don't know how much this means to me."

"How cute, Inuyasha and Kagome are hugging!" Kagome's mom sang from the front door. Almost instantly, they both pulled apart, blushing like crazy.

Kagome started to fidget with her fingers. 'Of course mom had to walk out just as I was hugging him!' she thought. "Well..." she said looking up at Inuyasha "I better get going."

"Yeah...right. Have a good flight." Kagome smiled and turned around. "Oh, and call me when you get to your new home!"

"Okay Inuyasha. Bye." Kagome said turning around again.

"And then call me when you start your new school." She turned around and smiled. She headed toward the door "I mean it Kagome, I want to hear about it all." She nodded and the turned to walk into the house yet again.

"Oh Kagome, one more thing!" She turned around and Inuyasha ran up and kissed her on the cheek. "Okay, have a good flight!" And with that he was off.

That was the last time she had seen Inuyasha. Sure they talked on the phone everyday for the first couple of months, then they both gradually got busy. So busy in fact, they completely lost communication about two years ago. Inuyasha had baseball, football, and basketball. Kagome had Dancing, gymnastics, and piano lessons. Not to mention they both had school work.

They hadn't seen each other in 6 years, but even after they stopped calling each other, they always managed to send out birthday cards. If it hadn't been for those, their parents thought they would forget each other.

But Kagome remembered Inuyasha. That's why she was so happy when her mom and her boyfriend (mom's boyfriend, not Kagome's) said they were going to move to Japan. Kagome's mom met her boyfriend in America about 5 months ago. They had gotten pretty serious and he asked her to move in with her. She said yes, but that meant going back to Japan. He was only in America for a year on business, and that year was up. He could now return home to Japan.

(Back to the kitchen)

"Oh Kagome! You look positively adorable." Mrs. Higurashi squealed when she saw her daughter.

'GREAT! Just the reaction I wanted, positively adorable…NOT! I have to go change, if mom thinks it's adorable, I must look like a complete idiot!' Kagome thought to herself, but just as she was about to turn around and change, her mom grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her out of the house and into their car. Kagome had told her mom she would just walk, but her mom insisted to drive her there. She thought it would be less embarrassing for Kagome to be dropped off by car than kissed goodbye by your mommy that walked you to school.

It took only two minutes to drive her to school, but the whole time she was throwing advice at her daughter like, "don't eat anything in the cafeteria, stick to your bagged lunch" and "Be polite to the teachers, make a good first impression" and even ways to push away boys like "if he asks you for a number, simply tell him that your dad doesn't believe in dating until marriage." With that one Kagome had to say something.

"Mom, that doesn't make any sense! One; he isn't my dad, he's your boyfriend. Two; you wouldn't find a guy to marry unless you date. And three; if you wait to date until your married, then you are cheating!"

"I know, it's just that will keep them away." Mrs. Higurashi said as she pulled to a stop in front of the school.

"I'll think of something else if it comes to that….bye mom. Thanks for the ride." As Kagome walked out of the car, she realized just how fun this would be. She was also a little relieved that she didn't have to worry about wearing the same outfit as someone else. All her clothes were from America, so chances are, she was the only one here with them. She started to make her way into the school.
