Kagome could not believe that her first and very best friend is here. She pulls him toward her and she wraps her arms around his neck and gives him a big hug. Cloud wraps his arms around her waist and hugs her gently. Their embrace lasted for 5 minutes which seems long enough for Kagome but not for Cloud. Cloud was a very handsome man, with blonde sort of spiked hair. He wore black pants and a black sleeveless shirt with one shoulder pad armor on the left with a black leather sleeve on the side only. He had black boots also. His muscles on the right arm were perfectly sculptured, though she cannot see his bare left arm, she knew it was the same. Cloud was built but gentle in a way. His eyes are what Kagome loves about him. His blue eyes show a lot of love and kindness though he tries not to show in front of others. Kagome always sees that he cares for her though his eyes.
"I cannot believe you are here. What brings you here? Oh, I missed you so much." Kagome says in one breath. "I …." Cloud was not sure in telling her the truth just yet so he quickly came up with something. "I am on leave so I can visit family and friends. So I decided to some and spend some time with you." He made up. "You are spending your family time with me?" She asked feeling special and yet sad. "Yea, you know I have nobody else besides you." He says looking a little worried at her expression on her face. "I know but I don't know what to say. I guess that you would have other important things to do besides coming to spend time with me. I know being a solider is very important to you." She said. "You will always be the most important person to me okay; you will always be number one on my list." Cloud said and also thinking that Kagome has changed a little but her really did not care because he is with her now. "You make me feel so special and wanted Cloud." She said with happy tears in her eyes.
Cloud and Kagome spend the rest of the day talking about old times and filling each other in what been going on in their lives. They both however strayed from the complete truth. Kagome did not know how to explain the feudal era to him or if he even believe her. She wanted to tell him everything because she hates keeping secrets from him. But her fear of losing someone she cared for; she just kept that part of her life quite. Cloud was also keeping information from Kagome. As far as she knows, he is just a solider in the "army". However, Cloud is now a mercenary and self-proclaimed ex-member of SOLDIER, a select, genetically augmented military unit operating under a secret world government agency called Shinra. While fighting against Shinra in the resistance group "AVALANCHE", he gain a terrible enemy, Sephiroth. While fighting with Sephiroth , Cloud became infected with deadly cells that attack the body's immune system and body cells. It was later called Geostigma. Cloud's main reason for coming to Kagome is so he can confess his love to her and have her for his wife until he dies. He knows that it could break her heart if he dies but he also knew that she was strong enough to find some else to make her happy.
After their talk, they had dinner with her family and walked to the parked they used to play at and just enjoyed each other company. As they were walking back to her home, she asked him "So how long are going to stay? And where are you staying?" He gave her a small smile before e answered, "I think I am going to be staying with you at your home. I already talked to your mom about it she said something about you not being home all the time." She stared at him in shock. 'How am I going to explain my long abuse from him this summer' she thought. "Um…you don't have to be back with the army in a certain amount of time?" He looked at her a little worried that she saw though him not giving her the whole truth. "Before I came, I found out that you will be off of school for summer break so when I requested this leave I can spend it with you." He said with a small smile. "Oh, well I guess that is okay then." Kagome said unsure about what she is going to do about going to the feudal era without Cloud worrying about her and wondering where she goes. They continued on to Kagome's home is silence. When they got there Kagome asked her mom if it was okay for Cloud to spend a night there. Gramps did not like the idea. Her mother was a little worried about this but Kagome told her that she is going to come up with something so he can leave and she can go back to the feudal era this Friday. Her mom agreed and set up the guest room for him.
The next day Kagome woke up early and got ready for school. She came down the stairs to have breakfast with her family and Cloud. After breakfast, Cloud walked Kagome to school and while she was at school he was at the park just sitting there. He was waiting for school to let out so he can walk her back home. He was also thinking about how he is going to finish telling her the truth. When it was time for school to let out, Cloud walk back to the school and waited for Kagome. She would walk back home with him and finish her school work and he even help her study for her finals. After studying they walk to the park and remise about old times again. This routine continued until Friday morning came.
Kagome walked down the stairs for breakfast and eat with her family and Cloud just like the past 3 days. As they walk to the school Cloud broken the silence by asking, "Kagome do you want to come with me to the beach for a week and we can stop anywhere you want on the way there and back home." Kagome was lost for words. "Um…"She had t think of something to get him to leave while she goes back to the feudal era. "Actually Cloud I ….am going ….somewhere. I will be leaving right after school and I won't be back for about a week or two." She said not looking at him. "Oh, where are you going?" Cloud asked knowing she is keeping something from him. "I cannot tell you." She said sadly still not looking at him. Cloud decides not to bother her with more questions. But he really wanted to know what is keeping her from him. He thought maybe he should fallow her to see what she was really up to. "Okay then Kagome, I guess I'll see you when you get back then. I hope you have a great time wherever you are going." Cloud said looking away from her. Kagome didn't know what to say now. They kept walking in silence. When they got to the school, Kagome turn around to talk to Cloud for a few minutes but he already turned around and started to walk back home. Kagome had tears in her eyes. "I'M SORRY CLOUD; I PROMISE I WILL EXPLAIN WHEN I GET BACK." She screams back at him. He just raised his hand back to her and wave. 'Great, now I'm not going to concentrate on my exam.' She thought miserably. 'I should have told him the truth. Why do you always do this Kagome? I haven't seen him in years or write him everyday like I promise. He came here on his family leave for me and I cannot even be here with him.' Kagome felt bad, like she betrayed her first best friend.
School ended early today since there were only exams to do. Kagome slowly walk back home alone. She stopped at the park and felt bad that she didn't trust Cloud enough to tell him the truth. When she got home she went up stairs and got her yellow back pack full of supplies that is needed in the feudal era. She even got 2 extra bags full of clothes, food, soaps, and extra first aid kits. She walked down the steps and asked her mom if Cloud has left and her mom told her that he left about an hour ago but left the address of where his is going to be staying. "Okay mom, I'm leaving. I'll be back in about 2 or 3 weeks. If Cloud came back just tell him that I'll be back soon. I love you. Bye." Kagome said feeling bad about her behavior with Cloud. "Okay dear, you take care now." Her mother said with a soft smile. Kagome walk to the well house and stop suddenly and turn around. "I thought…." She thought that someone was fallowing her but she did not see anyone. She walked into the well house and stopped in front of the well. "I'm so sorry Cloud. I wish I can tell you the truth. But I guess I messed that up." She said to herself. She climb on the edge of the well when "BAM." "KAGOME, NO!" Cloud busted though the door and scared Kagome. She jump when she heard him and was about to fall into the well. Cloud tried to grab her and pull her back up but lost his balance also and fell though the well with her.
