Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha.

Hey! I've decided that from chapter 4 on I'm going to rewrite this whole fic! lol I just thought that I had been going in such a good direction with the fic and it did NOT turn out the way I had planned it would. So, enjoy and plz review once you've read.

LAST TIME!

Miroku then hugged her and let go and said, "Mom..." But she cut him off.

"My boy, you hold on to your love for them and never ever let it go." and with that she stood up and went to walk out of the room.

Miroku was amazed and had to ask what happened, "Mom what happened?" She looked at him with very sad eyes.

"We got older and our parents got wiser and we weren't willing to lose their faith in us. So it ended, but we never forgot it. Miroku promise me you will always hold on?" She looked to her son with sad, tearful eyes.

"I promise," Miroku spoke softly and she continued to leave with his promise ringing in her ears and a small smile graced across her lips in a loving wish for her son to never let his friends go.

NOW!

Kagome walked to school quietly, thinking. Why hadn't anything happened? It was strange, she wanted to see Miroku so badly, she was worried about him.

'I wonder what his mother said. I hope she wasn't too hard on him.' Kagome thought as she heard the soft steps of someone coming up next to her. She turned to see Inuyasha.

"Hey Kagome, I know we can't, ya know, hang out but Miroku's late and Sango isn't here so I'm walking with you whether you like it or not." Inuyasha said. He smirked but also smiled. Kagome laughed because it was funny. The two that hated each other most were left alone.

&I&N&U&Y&A&S&H&A&

Halfway on the walk Inuyasha's ears twitched and Kagome laughed. Even though they looked human, they still twitched! She loved his twitching ears.

Inuyasha growled teasingly then said, "Shut up. I heard Miroku and Sango and they are going to be behind us in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2..." Inuyasha looked to Kagome as Sango said hello from behind them. Kagome smiled as she turned around and Inuyasha let go of his breath he hadn't known he'd been holding.

"Hey Sango!" Kagome said to her friend. They hugged tightly as Miroku rounded the corner and said hey to Inuyasha.

"Kagome, my father said nothing! I was so... I don't know, amazed. I expected something horrible." Sango said to Kagome and the guys. Miroku was looking off into the distance.

"Dude, what's up? You look like shit." Inuyasha asked Miroku. Miroku smiled tiredly, he had done a lot of thinking. He looked ahead of him to the trees and saw how the sun hit them just slightly giving the tree's leaves a golden shimmer. Then he heard birds chirping and he looked up into that same tree and saw a mother bird feed her baby birds. He found this odd because it was almost fall and the bird should've had its babies in the summer or spring. Then a hand flashed in front of his face pulling him out of his daze.

"Miroku, you okay?" Kagome asked her voice filled with concern and worry. He smiled at her.

"Yeah, I'm okay... My mom knew but she didn't tell your parents." He said the last part slowly. As if he didn't believe that it had happened, as if he wasn't even there. His friends stopped in mid step to take a moment to worry... again.

"What did you just say Miroku?" Sango asked thinking he'd gone mad. Of course she would have told their parents.

Miroku looked to Sango and spoke to her and his friends, "She needed Kagome's mother like I need Inuyasha. She used to need Sango's father like I need Kagome. She used to need Inuyasha's father like I need Sango. They were all friends!" He was out of breath and they were staring at him completely shocked. He had remembered her specific words and repeated them to his friends. His mother used to need their parents as much as they needed each other in that moment.

"How can that be?" Sango asked in anger and disbelief. Kagome was near tears. Inuyasha was fuming.

"Why are you all mad? Don't you see? They didn't want us to go through what they did. They wanted us to never become friends so we wouldn't have to feel the pain they felt!" Miroku said wisely. All their anger had gone. All their feelings and thoughts of being tricked and deceived left them.

Miroku spoke again, "She said we have to hang on. Hang onto us and this 'Forbidden Friendship', you know? So we can stay friends and be friends the rest of our lives! The way that they couldn't." He was understanding his mother's words finally.

"I understand and Miroku we'll hang on!" Kagome said a tear from her past anger escaping with a shake of her fist. Inuyasha laughed. They all looked to him. He just smirked.

"I'm so glad your mother didn't say anything. She really knows doesn't she?" Sango asked and Miroku nodded. Inuyasha laughed again. They all looked to him and his smirk grew.

"WHAT IS IT INUYASHA?" Sango asked, sick of his smirk. Inuyasha sighed.

Then he said, "Miroku no matter what your mom said we would've stayed friends and nothing would've stopped that. You're all being soo dramatic!" They all smiled, that was true. But this made them realize something. They were friends and friends are friends till the end.

"Hey Miroku, how is your mom?" Sango asked him. Both boys cracked into wide grins. Sango had never really cared for Miroku's mother. Then Miroku thought of her question and wondered the same thing.

"She seems to be good. But there's something odd about her. I don't know what it is though." Kagome looked over her shoulder and they were almost at school. She poked Inuyasha and Sango and somehow multi tasked to get Miroku in the back too.

"I gotta go, I'll see you guys in class." Kagome spoke in a quiet whisper and that puzzled them. She was never very secretive, she told them everything. So, they wanted to know why she had to go ahead of them.

Then Miroku finally asked as she was about to leave, "Kagome where are you going?" He sounded mad in a way because she was sort of ditching them. Kagome turned to them and smiled oddly and strange with a hint of a tear in her eye and sparkle in the other. A sparkle that made her smile ear to ear and she wanted to but she wasn't able to.

"I'm going alone today. Just have to go to the bathroom. I promise I won't be late." Kagome spoke to them.

As Kagome walked ahead of them they all had their own thoughts in mind.

Sango's mind was still in amazement over their parents not finding out and she was thinking, 'How lucky are we? Miroku has an awesome mom...'

Miroku was thinking, 'I wonder what's up with my mom. I hope she's okay.' They were almost at school and they split but only so far. Sango walked alone with the boys on her other side. Then the soft wind picked up some speed and Sango's hair came undone and her pink silk ribbon escaped her hair and let it free from her high pony tail. Sango laughed out loud and smiled sweetly.

Miroku looked up to the sky and watched the ribbon fly to a tree and whispered, "She's so beautiful when she smiles." Inuyasha heard him and smiled. But then he looked ahead towards Kagome. He smiled slightly at his friend ahead as her small figure got smaller. Then his smile faded as he smelled blood drifting along in the wind. He looked down at the pavement...

'Oh Kagome, what are you doing...' Inuyasha thought as he sighed a quivering breath and they walked to the front of the school.

OKAY well plz review now... thank you all lol bye bye. : )
