Okay so…I only got 2 reviews on this story…WHY? Um…so one person said I should skip to 5th grade and one said I should skip to 9th…SO I'm skipping to 5th because…that summer after 5th is the time when InuYasha moves away. So I'm gonna just, info you all on what has been happening since that Christmas. WARNING: No it's not a Citrus warning. The beginning of this story has 9/11 details in it so if you don't want to read that, then skip to normal POV. ON WITH THE STORY!!!!!
Kaggy's POV
Ever since that Christmas with InuYasha…so much has changed. I still remember what InuYasha asked me that day in the hospital. I think he must have forgotten it though. He now likes the "Ice Princess". My dad died. We went to New York with InuYasha the week before school started. We were going to our plane when Dad wanted to see the Twin Towers. If mom hadn't forgotten her purse…and if Dad hadn't offered to go get it…he would still be alive.
Flash Back
"Honey, let's go see the Twin towers!" Dad had suggested. Everyone agreed.
After we got back down…
"Oh NO!" Mom had said.
"What's wrong Mommy?" I had asked.
"I forgot my purse! I'll be right back!" Mom had said. But Because Mom was pregnant with Sota, my dad offered to get it.
"I'll get that!" Dad said.
End Flash Back
The next thing I knew I was being pulled away from my mom and InuYasha by a police officer who didn't speak Japanese. When I found my mom and InuYasha, I looked at the building. It had a big chunk that was there just seconds before…gone. I saw people jumping off of the building. Falling to their deaths. I saw two men arguing at the top. I don't know why. One was pushed. The man called my name…I was scared. When I ran to see who it was, the man was about 10 feet and counting to the pavement. I recognized my dad's voice and knew that the man at the top was my dad's killer. My dad hit the pavement and blood went everywhere. I didn't know I was covered in it and when InuYasha found me staring at what was my dad, he hugged me and told me it was going to be alright.
Normal POV
"Hey Kagome!" InuYasha called across the room. They were in fifth grade now. The last year before Middle School. School would be getting out in a few weeks for summer anyways. Kagome planned to have a fun filled summer with InuYasha, Sango, and Miroku. That was another change. Shippo moved into China. They rarely heard from him.
"Hey Yash!" Kagome called back.
"What's wrong?" She asked when she saw his sad look.
"Shesshomaru and I are moving…" InuYasha said.
"W-What?" Kagome asked. She could feel her heart splitting into pieces.
"I'm sorry Kagome," InuYasha apologized, not wanting it to seem that he was the bad guy.
"When?" Kagome stuttered.
"The day after school lets out," InuYasha said.
"Oh…I was hoping…that we'd all get to stay together this summer…" Kagome said on the verge of crying.
"I know and I am completely sorry! You know I'd try and stop it if I could…but I can't!" InuYasha said trying not to get Kagome crying even though he was failing miserably. So he tried to change the subject.
"So…are you still gonna be in the talent show?" he asked.
"Yes! But no more changing the subject!" Kagome yelled making InuYasha shrink down to microscopic size.
"Here, you take my silver locket and I'll take your gold. Whenever we miss each other, just think of that!" InuYasha said. Kagome smiled.
The Day of the Talent show/ Last day of school
"Up next, Kagome Higurashi will be performing 'I learned from You'! (It's a Hannah Montana Song!)
(Bold-Song Bold Italics-Kaggy thinking Italics-Inu thinking regular-normal. remember it, love it eat it!)
"I want to dedicate this song to my best friend…InuYasha," Kagome said. Then the music started up.
I didn't want to listen, to what you were saying,
I thought that I knew all I need to know.
I didn't realize that somewhere inside me
I knew you were right, but I couldn't say so
I can take care of myself
You taught me well.
I learned from you
That I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose
All of the reasons I keep on believing
There's no question that's a lesson
I learned from you
'InuYasha! If you only knew what these words meant! I love you so MUCH! I wish you felt the same way…but you like Kikyo.'
We always don't agree on what is the best way
To get to the place that we're going from here
But I can really trust you and give you the distance
To make your decision without any fear
I'm grateful for all the good times
You opened my eyes
I learned from you
That I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose
All of the reasons I keep on believing
There's no question that's a lesson
I learned from you
'Kagome! Are you trying to send me some sorta message through this song? Cause I'm not getting it…I love you, I mean it though. Where did that come from?' Then InuYasha started getting memories back from when Kagome was in the hospital. How she took back her promise to be his mate. 'Does she still want to be my mate? No…she probably doesn't even remember.'
You taught me to stand on my own
And I thank you for that it saved me, it made me
And now that I'm looking back I can say
I learned from you
That I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose
All of the reasons I keep on believing
There's no question that's a lesson
I learned from you!
"Kagome Higurashi everyone!" the announcer yelled. It was silent for a moment and then the whole auditorium burst into cheers. Only InuYasha wasn't on his feet. He was shocked that when Kagome had said "you" in the last chorus she was always pointing to him. Was she sending him a message.
"Come on half breed!" he heard a cold voice say.
"I want to know who wins!" he said.
"And the winner is…KAGOME HIGURASHI!" the announcer yelled. Kagome came out on to stage and took her trophy.
"There. It was the runt who dedicated the song to you. Now lets GO!" Shesshomaru yelled. InuYasha was dragged out by his older half brother.
Kagome started looking for him to say good-bye to him but he was already gone. She didn't know that Shesshomaru had been there so she thought InuYasha had left on purpose without saying good bye. She started crying and wouldn't let herself believe that Shesshomaru had been there like her mom had told her. Kagome dropped her trophy and ran home. She didn't want to remember her pain any longer. She went home and cried herself to sleep. She felt like she was dying.
Kagome wouldn't eat…she wouldn't do anything but cry and sleep. When she went to the doctors, he told Kagome she needed to eat something otherwise she'd die. So Kagome ate little. By the time she got into middle school, she wouldn't talk and she wouldn't eat. She would only cry. Because she believed that InuYasha had purposely left, when he tried to call her, the first time she let her mother lie for her. The second she picked up the phone and told him that if he was ever going to call her again, he better be calling to tell her that he was coming home and then hung up on him. He hadn't called since then. Kagome slowly faded away from everything. Her friends tried to get her to eat something but she wouldn't. So they gave up. The last time she had gone to the doctor, in 8th grade, he said that there wasn't anything they could do but sit and wait until Kagome came around. Kagome wouldn't come around until InuYasha was back.
With InuYasha…
InuYasha had gone to a new school in Kyoto. He HATED it there. He had to wear a uniform. He hated it. He felt…incomplete. InuYasha hadn't called Kagome since the last call but in everything that happened, it would remind him of Kagome. He wanted to see her and tell her that everything was going to be okay. That he was living there again. He missed her.
9th grade! High School!
Kagome walked in. She was eating again like a normal person but wouldn't talk. She got her stuff from her locker and noticed something that caught her eye. A gold locket.
"Here, you take my silver locket and I'll take your gold. Whenever we miss each other, just think of that!" Kagome remembered. Was InuYasha here. She turned to see who was wearing it. She saw silver hair. She walked up to him, but his back was turned.
"Who'd you get that locket from?" Kagome asked. InuYasha thought the voice sounded familiar but shook it off.
"A friend of mine from grade school," InuYasha replied not really paying attention.
"A girlfriend?" Kagome asked. She wanted to know if that's what he thought of her.
"I wish! But it was a girl," InuYasha said.
"What was her name?" Kagome said.
"Her name was-" InuYasha stopped when he saw her.
"Kagome."
