Well thank you Briar for reviewing once again. I hope you and all my readers are enjoying my story so far. I know that the last chapter Finding out took a while for me to upload, and I am sorry about that, but as I said in the author's notes at the end of chapter two, I was busy with work and school.
Inuyasha: Busy with work and school, that's not much of an excuse.
Rose: Oh really Inuyasha, and how would you know?
Inuyasha: Because you went to Stampede this summer and Global Fest and went horseback riding once a month as well lets not forget.
Rose: (pissed) Inuyasha, SIT BOY!
Inuyasha: Damn Rose, I am still recovering from last chapter's sit
Rose: Well then… you should know not to make me mad then shouldn't you?
Inuyasha: I'll take note of that then.
Rose: Good. Then you won't mind saying the disclaimer, right?
Inuyasha: K- (see's Rose ready to sit him again) –
RoseKat-Yami doesn't own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takashi does. She does own her own characters Marina, Alexis, Kali, Cael and Koli.
Inuyasha: (panting) Man that was a mouthful
Rose: I know right, but you did a very good job saying it that you'll get to say it every chapter from now on
Inuyasha: Say what?!
Rose: What a good boy, want a treat?
Inuyasha: No I don't want a – Treat?
Rose: Here ya go boy
Inuyasha eats the dog treat Rose gave him.
Inuyasha: That was actually really good, are there more?
Rose: Every time you do something good like the disclaimer, I will give you a dog treat okay?
Inuyasha: Okay (sits down like a good dog)
Rose: Good boy (throws him another dog treat which he catches in his mouth)
Rose: Now on with the story shall we… thanks to Briar for suggesting the name Cael for my one male character ^^

Chapter 3: Promises made, more is revealed
Marina nods her head as her ears twitch in agreement. Alexis can hardly believe that what she is seeing is real to believe.
"Please don't tell anyone about this 'lexi. I know I am asking you to keep a big secret, but I have had to live with this secret my entire life. You are my best friend and I just couldn't keep it from you anymore."
Marina looks to her friend with pleading eyes. Now one thing you should know is that Marina never pleads/begs for anything.
"Of course I will never tell anyone 'rina. Even if you said I could, it's not my secret to tell."
Alexis looks over at Marina with promising eyes and hugs her reassuringly.
"I don't break my promises like Koli did to you and I'm no stupid dumb ass turn stalker like Cael."
Alexis says quietly in Marina's ear. Marina and Alexis separate from the hug and smile at one another.
"I cannot believe how much those two boys cost me in the end. Two different relationships with different circumstances, same fate and same amount of hurt both times" Marina blinks away tears trying to stay strong and not let the tears fall.
"It's okay 'rina. I'm not going anywhere – no matter what" Alexis exclaims. "Those two are out of your life now and you can move on with your life from both of them."
Marina's eyes continued to water, especially with what Alexis just said to her. Marina wipes her eyes in an attempt to stop the tears from falling, with little luck, but not giving up.
"I know you won't go anywhere 'lex, but just hearing you say that your not going anywhere means more to me than you'll ever know."
Marina quits trying to stop the tears from falling as she realizes it is no use and looks over to Alexis with hope and gratitude in her eyes.
"'rina I know that a lot of shit has happened in the past few years and you more than likely feel depressed some and feel like you won't ever find the right guy for you or ever be fully happy again." Alexis explains to her friend. "But that isn't true and deep down inside I think you know that in your heart. You just may realize it yet."
Marina looks from Alexis and back out to the ocean. She knows what Alexis is saying is true, but it is just so hard to deal with losing friends she is really close with.
(Marina's POV)
'I was a friend with Cael for only a couple of years before I went out with him. Cael and I only went out for eight months before we broke up and he turned into a stalker. When he turned to a stalker, I couldn't believe he did that and it really hurt her on the inside because I trusted him so much. When he turned into a stalker, he broke that trust I held for him. What he did made it so difficult for me to trust anyone after that, even the people I knew I could trust.
Koli helped me gain back my trust. Even though I didn't wear my heart on my sleeve as much as with Cael. Sadly I still wore my heart on my sleeve though, which was a mistake. I'd known Koli for five years and he was my best guy friend. Then we broke up and shit happened and now we aren't speaking and he said he'd always be my friend – LIAR!
Guys are all jerks –'
"'rina, hello you in there?" Alexis says to me while waving her hands in front of my face apparently trying to get my attention. To let her know I'm listening, I turn and look over at her, with a questionable look on my face wondering what's up.
"Oh good you are still here" Alexis sighs with relief. "You spaced out there for a little while and I didn't know what was up. I've been trying for ten minutes to get your attention now."
I give Alexis a sorry reassuring look. "I'm sorry 'lexi, I was just thinking about some things is all."
"Yea, I figured since you had your thinking look on your face" Alexis nods in agreement. "But unfortunately we have to go now because it is time to return to the school since class is almost done and we have our next class to get to. And we only have five minutes and it'll take us ten minutes to get there and change."
I nod my head in agreement. "I know 'lex, sorry for keeping us late. Don't worry though, we'll get to the school with time to spare."
We get up from the log and go back onto the trail. Alexis looks over to me with a quizzical look on her face.
"How will we get there with time to spare?" she asks me.
"Do you trust me?" I reply.
"Of course I do, you're my best friend 'rina."
"Then hold on… Kay" I tell her and pull her arm so I'm giving her a piggyback, and take off at full speed towards the school.
Alexis screams and Marina chuckles. "He he…"
'Should have known that Alexis would scream since I didn't really give her much of a warning before I took off with her.' I think to myself, ignoring Alexis who by now has quit screaming and is looking around a bit. 'Not that there is anything for her to look at but blurs since I am moving so fast.'
I feel Alexis moving around a bit as she is looking at the scenery fly by. I then sense that Alexis is looking at me, as my ears twitch while we keep moving towards the school.
"Hey 'rina, what are you going to do about your ears, won't people notice?" she asks me out of curiosity.
My necklace starts to glow. "Don't worry about that 'lexi, I got that covered." My dog ears then become invisible like before.
Alexis's head moves back in shock. "Oh yea that's right, I forgot you could do that."
I chuckle at Alexis's shock and surprise. Since we are only a block away, I slow down to a walk and let Alexis down so she can walk as well. "It takes some getting used to for my ears disappearing and reappearing all the time."
Rose: So that is it for this chapter. I know I took a while to update, but I am in the middle of moving and having to do my school work. Hopefully next chapter won't take so long to update.
Inuyasha: Yea I hope you update sooner as I was falling asleep. AND I wasn't even in this chapter.
Rose: Oh Inu don't get your hair in a knot.
Inu: Huh?
Rose: Inu could you please tell our readers to review the story please.
Inu: Why should I?
Rose gives Inuyasha the look.
Inu: Okay, okay I got it. Review please so she doesn't sit me into the next chapter.
Rose: Thanks Inu! See you all next chapter! (Hugs Inuyasha)
