A/N: Would have updated sooner, but some stories were calling me more than this one! You know how it is…some are more fun to write than others.
Chapter 2
As we sat on the roof, Inuyasha's arm wrapped around me, I began to wonder how long we would have to go through this engagement. It would be nearly a year and a half.
"So…what college did you decide on?"
He looked at me. "I told you, the one in Tokyo."
"Well, it's not like we're going to die if you go to one outside of Tokyo. I know you got into others."
His brows furrowed; he didn't remember telling me that. Well, he didn't tell me that. "Mika told me."
He rolled his eyes. "Oh."
"Well, there's nothing wrong with going to a college that's farther away, is there?"
"Yes, there is."
"What?"
"You don't seem to realize this, but I can't be that far away from you. first of all, you're a tad too accident prone, and second of all, it would make me go insane to be away from you most of the time."
"But…I'll be in school a lot, too. We both will. We won't be able to see each other every day once you move into an apartment there. We'll live farther apart, anyway. What are a few extra miles?"
"A few miles, a hundred miles…either way, I won't increase the distance between us any more than I already have to. Let's drop this now, because you'll never talk me out of it."
We didn't talk for several minutes, but I felt like I had to say something, so I tried to make more conversation. "What is that Tokyo college called again? I forgot…"
"Chuo University."
"Oh…and your major was…law?"
"Yep. CU is renowned for that particular major, so I chose there."
"You want to be, what? A lawyer?"
"Yeah, a defense lawyer."
"What's the difference between that and others?"
He laughed, which I thought meant that it was obvious. "Well, there are a lot of different kinds of lawyers. Some only handle divorce cases, or criminal cases, or insurance…but a defense lawyer handles a wider variety of cases."
"So…you couldn't decide on one so you chose defense?"
"Pretty much. Kagome?"
"Hm?"
"What are you going to major in?"
"Oh I dunno…probably something that involves numbers and math…"
He laughed, like he should have known I'd say that. "Not an accountant, I hope…"
I looked up at him. "Why not?"
"People don't always like accountants…"
"True. I could work with computers or something…programming them and stuff."
We fell silent for almost an hour before I started to feel sleepy. "Inuyasha, I'm tired. Can you take me home now?"
"Sure."
We pulled up in front of my house, and after we kissed goodnight, I made my way up the long steps. I sometimes wished it were an escalator.
I snuck into the house, knowing my mom and brother were already asleep. As I went into my bedroom, I nearly screamed when Buyo brushed against my leg.
"Darn it, Buyo!" I whispered angrily at him. he just walked into my room, leaped on the bed—which I still couldn't quite figure out how he could, due to his weight—and melted into my pillow, a big blob of jiggly fur.
As I got ready for bed, I noticed my computer was still on. I was leaning down to turn it off, but I caught a glimpse of a familiar screen name logged on. I decided to talk to him.
Kags91: Koga.
Several minutes later, as if he was contemplating talking to me or not, he responded.
AlfaWlf810: What?
Kags91: So you'll talk to me?
AlfaWlf810: Apparently.
Kags91: I'm sorry.
AlfaWlf810: What for?
Kags91: You know what I'm talking about.
AlfaWlf810: Please. Don't.
Kags91: Why not?
AlfaWlf810: Because.
Stubborn, wasn't he?
Kags91: Okay.
AlfaWlf810: Thank you.
Kags91: Congrats. What college you going to?
AlfaWlf810: Dunno. Probably the University of Tokyo.
Kags91: That's great! Aren't you excited?
AlfaWlf810: Not really.
Kags91: Why?
AlfaWlf810: Don't really want to move.
Kags91: That's a silly reason.
AlfaWlf810: I guess so.
There was a long pause.
Kags91: Koga?
AlfaWlf810: Still here.
Kags91: I really am sorry. I want you to know that.
AlfaWlf810: I know.
Kags91: Good. That's good that you know. I hope we can still be friends?
AlfaWlf810: We'll have to wait and see.
Kags91: Thank you.
AlfaWlf810: Yep. Good night.
Kags91: Night. Sleep tight!
I got up and, pushing the blob of fur I call a cat aside, crawled into my bed. One more year.
A/N: Sorry, short chapter but I didn't want you guys to get mad at me. I've been updating a lot for other stories but mot this one! Hopefully the next one will be longer and more eventful…
TTFN!
