Chapter 2

Time Goes On

"So you two ready?" Inuyasha stood with his arms crossed.

"OH yea I guess so." Sango looked up from kissing Miroku. "Sorry we didn't think you would be back so soon."

"Yea I'm glad to see how concerned you both where. Lets just go." Inuyasha started to walk off.

"Hey we are concerned." Miroku said hurrying beside him. "Its just that me and Sango are…"

"Yea I'm a where that you to love each other. Believe me I'm very a where. I just…look I don't want to talk about it just come on. I'm all done here. We need to look into this find in the demon we're hunting." Iunyasha never glanced at the monk.

"Right I just didn't want you to think that we didn't care. So you think this new demon could really be more powerful than Naraku. That's kind of hard to believe."

"Yea but I think so. The things that he leaves behind are just about as bad as Naraku's creations and there getting stronger. Strange that he can do that to plan humans. I hate that we cant find him before he attacks." Inuyasha looked down but kept his pace.

"Wait up you two." Sango came up riding Kirara.

"Sorry Sango." Miroku jumped up behind on the fire cat.

"So where are we headed?" Sango looked at Inuyasha.

"The village up a head. Kanade said that it had been attacked but there something was different. I hope it's a clue in finding this guy. I'm sick of having to clean up the mess." Inuyasha said through gritted teeth.

"Yeah I know I hate that we have to trap those people. But until we can break the spell then they will just have to stay there." Miroku said and motioned to Sango to be quite.

"I know what I did you don't have to tip toe around me." Inuyasha looked at the monk.

"But it was an accident. You cant blame yourself." Sango looked sadly at the haft demon.

"Drop it. Look you two just keep up I'm going on a head." Inuyasha took off running.

"But….ahh I guess he still doesn't want to talk about what happened." Sango looked at the monk.

"No I doubt he wants to think about that poor girl. After all he did kill her. I know he didn't mean to and she would have killed me and you both. But she was still human." Miroku held tight to Sango's waist.

"I know plus she looked a lot like Kagome. That didn't help matters much." Sango said with a sigh. "Come on Kirara lets go."

"So are you excited about Harvard?" Eri asked sipping her coke.

"Yea I guess. I just wish one of you where going too." Kagome bit her burger.

"Yea me too. But I'm going to Yale so at least I'll be in the same country." Ayumi said trying to cheer her up.

"True just about a two hour drive and I have no car. I guess we'll be talking on the phone a lot since I can only call home like once a week. Long distance really costs my mom." Kagome drink her coke.

"Yea but you can call me when ever. I wont be to far away. So where are you to going?" Ayumi looked at Eri and Yuka.

"Local." The two looked at each other and giggled.

"What's so funny?" Kagome asked looking puzzled.

"Oh its just well…can we just tell them?" Yuka ask looking at Eri.

"Yea we may as well. Me and Yuka aren't going to college." Eri said sounding very happy. Ayumi spit out her coke and coughed.

"What! You mean nether of you got into any college!" Ayumi stood up.

"No we got in Ayumi. It's just we got offered something better. See were going to work as flight attendants together. See the world. Just for like a year or so. Then were going to college. We both thought it was time for a break in school so we went and applied and we got the jobs." Eri said trying to not laugh at how upset Ayumi had gotten.

"Wow how exciting. I bet your stoked." Kagome said haft way paying attention.

"That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard your going to forget what you have learned in school if you do that-"

Ayumi continued but Kagome looked out the window. 'I wonder what Inuyasha is doing right now. I bet its not listening to three girls plan there futures. I fell so stuck. Why have I been thinking more and more about you these days? Its not as though I'm ever going to see you again. I know that now after all this time. I know there's no hope for that anymore. So why can't I stop. Its like-'

"Kagome!" Ayumi's voice broke Kagome's thought.

"Oh sorry. What?" Kagome looked back at her friends.

"What where you daydreaming about?" Eri asked.

"Oh nothing just-"

"Just what?" The three of them leaned in.

"It's nothing really. Well I better get back. Got lots of packing to do. See you guys later." Kagome got up and threw her tray away.

"Right." Ayumi went after her. "I'll find out what this is all about."

Kagome headed down the street. "Wait up. So who is it?"

"Hum…I mean what?" Kagome looked at Ayumi.

"Who's the guy your thinking about? It's been a long time since I've seen that look in your eye."

"Oh no one really. I was just thinking of an old boyfriend is all." Kagome looked down.

"Oh was it that bad boy you where with in 8th?" Ayumi said curiously.

"Yea I just well…I miss him is all."

"What ever happened to him anyway. You never said if you and him broke up. You just stopped talking about him."

"No we never did break up not really. He's just not able to come and see me anymore we haven't been able to see each other for three years now." Kagome realized why she never spoke of this with people a knot began to form in her throat.

"Oh did he have to go back over seas is that why your thinking of him. Since your going over seas in a week? Is he in Massachusetts too?"

"No he's- Look Ayumi I know your just wondering but this is really hard for me to talk about. Can we not talk about it?" Kagome looked at her friend with tears in her eyes.

"Oh I'm sorry Kagome I didn't realize. I'll head back to the others. See you later." Ayumi patted her shoulder and waved bye. Kagome did to and the to parted ways.

Kagome walked up her steps to her families home. She walked over to the tree. ' This is where I met him so long ago. Stuck to this tree.' Kagome reached up and touched the scare on the trunk of the tree. ' I don't get it. Its been so long now. Why do I still feel like I've just now lost you. Why is it that now that I'm leaving and can start over do I want to go back. I-' Kagome sat on her knees and lend against the tree trunk. Her tears fled from her eyes. She couldn't stop them this time. She didn't want to. She needed to cry.

"Why!" Kagome hit the tree with all her might. " Why cant I go back!" Kagome held her stomach. ' I cant deal with this I can't be breaking now.' Kagome lay down still sobbing. The trees roots held her. ' Maybe it's because I'm leaving. Because I know I wont be back. I feel as though I will never see Inuyasha again. Now more than ever.' Kagome buried her face in the dirt and let herself weep as the sun set.

( So sad...Its going to get better i promise. Please Review)
