Chapter 11-Goodbye, I love You
--------------

Kagome's final month in Tokyo was nothing short of what was expected. She'd stay in her room for hours and not talk to anyone. Every now and then she'd come out of her room to have a little fun before she left, only because she didn't want her last memories to be bad ones. Still, it didn't go by unnoticed that she was upset.

"I just feel so bad for her Auntie. What should we do?" Michie whispered to her aunt and uncle.

They'd been keeping close eyes on Kagome lately. Everyone was quiet aware of how Kagome could get when she was depressed. She'd even gone as far as stabbing herself, though her mother stopped her. But that was a long time ago. Everyone doubted Kagome even remembered that day. Still, they paid close attention to her.

"There's nothing we can do Michie. The only thing that will lift her spirits is making up with Inuyasha?" She responded.

Her uncle nodded in agreement.

"But she's leaving tomorrow. We can't send her to another country all broken down like this."

"That's her decision Michie, no matter how much we agree with you…"

All three turned back to Kagome who was lounging on a couch looking sad and lonely. They each sighed, but decided to leave her be.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was evident that Inuyasha's mood had changed as well. However, he would occupy himself with another activity to keep his mind off Kagome. And when someone would bring her up in a conversation, he'd ignore it, or simply change the subject.

It was sunset and Inuyasha decided to get away from everyone who blamed Kagome's depression on him. True, it upset him that she was upset, but what no one else seemed to understand was that…he too was upset. He was broken, upset, and hurt. Though he did good to hide his emotions from other people, he can't hide them from himself. So to avoid everyone else, he took a trip to the pier and just watched the ocean flow back and forth. That is…until Sango showed up. This warm September air blew causing her scent to enter Inuyasha's nose. But he didn't let it faze him.

"Hey…are you okay Inuyasha?" She asked softly, but still loud enough to be heard.

Inuyasha 'Fed.' And didn't answer her question. Instead, he picked up a rock and tossed it into the water.

Sango was pretty aware that he may not have answered, but she still had to try and get something out of him.

She sighed and took a seat next to Inuyasha in the sand. "I won't ask you to go and full out apologize to Kagome, and I'm not going to bite your head off about this being you fault either. Because the truth is…you're both at fault here and that can't go ignored. Kagome was wrong for keeping you up in the air about going to France." Sango took this moment to rub her fingers in the sand. "But you're also at fault for treating her the way you did. You both messed up, and you're both upset. So…why not put you're pride to the side for a few and go and talk to her."

Sango paused to see if Inuyasha would respond, but when he didn't answer she continued.

"Kagome's leaving tomorrow at 6 o'clock, and I don't think you want your last conversation to be something as upsetting as this one. It's going to be a while before she comes home for the first holiday, and you two should clear this air between each other." Sango stood up and began walking away. "And that's all I'm going to say."

Inuyasha had heard every word Sango said. But even with that said, he still harbored some bitter feeling against Kagome. And he didn't know what to do with that feeling. He couldn't talk to her knowing it's what everyone wanted him to do, not what he wanted to do. Inuyasha sighed and pulled out a small teeny beanie bear Kagome had given him when they first started going out.

**Flashback**

"Keep this so that you'll always think of me!" Kagome smiled brightly and handed the fluffy brown bear to Inuyasha.

He only raised an eyebrow at the small trinket, but took it none the less. "I don't think I'll need help thinking of you since there is barely a moment when you're NOT in my face." He joked.

Kagome pouted and turned her back to him. "Well if that's how you feel then give it…"

She was cut off when the feeling of soft, sweet lips landed gracefully on top of hers. Once she was over the shock of her boyfriends bold move, she returned his kiss by wrapping her arms around his neck, deepening it. Soon they parted for lack of air and just stared into each others eyes lost in amazement.

"I love it." He simply said. "And you."

**End of Flashback**

Inuyasha violently shook his head to erase the memory. He stuffed the bear in his pocket decided to call it a night. He couldn't take the constant reminders he was getting from everything he looked at.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome sighed as she carried her final bag down the steps completing a set of four suitcases and a duffle bag. Waiting for her at the bottom of the steps where house keepers, and her family. All looked at her getting over the state of shock that she was actually leaving. Kagome only returned there looks with a small smile to reassure them that she'd be back. Once then three minute staring contest was over, everyone began loading Kagome's belongings to the limo. While Kagome, and her family quietly got in. The ride was slow and sad. You could sense in the air that this had to have been the saddest car ride in history. Michie tried her best to lighten the mood, but her many attempts where in vain. So they just sat quietly awaiting the stop at the airport.

When they arrived everyone exited the car and quietly walked inside. Blinding camera lights flashed as many paparazzi people bombarded the Higurashi family with questions, and stuck cameras in their faces. Once away from all the commotion, Kagome and he mother went to the front desk to confirm Kagome's flight, and to get her plane tickets. When all the paper work was done, Kento, Kagome's father began placing his daughters' bags on the conveyer belt. Much to his surprise her bags were heavier then he thought.

He'd just finished placing the final bag when wiping away some beads of sweat. "Just what does she have in these bags? Her entire bedroom?" Kento then made his way back to his wife, daughter, and niece to say his goodbyes.

Kagome spent what seemed like an hour just hugging her family and telling them how much she was going to miss them. They in turn, hugged her and said the same.

Kagome then gave Michie a hug and it was almost as if the two didn't want to part. But when they did Michie started talking. "I'm going to miss seeing you pout around the house when you're pissed." She joked.

This caused a chuckle out of the two. Kagome whipped a tear from the corner of her eye. "And I'm going to miss you're constant sarcasm everywhere I am."

Michie nodded and handed Kagome what seemed like a photo album. Kagome raised an eyebrow to it at first but took it when Michie started explaining.

"You're going to be gone for a while until the first break. And none of us wanted you to forget our faces, so the girls and I put this together from pictures we had taken when we were little, all the way up to now. Take it." She said.

Kagome sniffled and nodded her head. "Thank you."

"KAGOME!" "KAGS!" "K" Was heard throughout the airport as Rin, Ayame, Sango, and…Miroku ran up to her and tackled her with hugs.

"We're going to miss you girly. Please don't go!" Rin exclaimed.

"Aww…I'm going to miss you all to. But I can't pass up this up." Kagome replied.

"But Rin's right…you are going to be missed. Junior year wont be the same with out you Kagome." Ayame said with a smile.

Kagome returned her smile. "Nothings going to be the same this year, but I'll be back. I'll be back for the holiday." She made an attempt to look on the bright side.

Miroku unknowingly began wiping tears out his eyes before grabbing Kagome and lifting her up into a bone crushing hug. Everyone stared at his like he was crazy. But no one had an even more lost face than Kagome, especially since she'd only met him twice. All she really knew about him was that he was Sango's boyfriend, and Inuyasha's bestfriend. Other then that, she didn't know the guy. Still she patted his back soothingly.

"OHHH! KAGOME!" He yelled. "I'M GOING TO MISS YOU KAGOME!"

Kagome's eyes widened. "Uh…there, there. It's alright. I'll…uh…be back soon…?" She answered.

When Sango noticed that her friends face began turning blue from lack of air, she stepped in. "Um…I think that's enough Miroku. You don't even know her."

He put his crying fit on pause when he realized she was right. With that thought in mind, he placed the confused girl back on her feet and let the goodbyes continue.

It was not Sango's turn to say her goodbyes to Kagome. She approached her and gave her the biggest bear hug. "We're really going to miss you Kagome." She said.

"I'm going to miss you all too."

Sango nodded her head and parted from her friend. She then held out her hand that held a medium sized silver gift bag. "Take it, and promise me you'll use it!"

Kagome tilted her head before taking it. She opened it and pulled out a book with all blank pages.

"It's a diary." She said.

Sango nodded. "We want you to write in it every few days so that when you come home, you can tell us about everything you did in France."

Kagome was on the verge of tears. She nodded and threw her arms around all her friends. "Thank you all…and I will. I promise."

She let her friends go and then looked around to see everyone here to say goodbye. Everyone except…

"Inuyasha…?" Kagome asked and stated at the same time.

Everyone's smiles fell and they looked at each other not wanting to upset Kagome. At least not at this second.

Miroku took a deep breath before speaking. "I…told him when you where leaving." He spoke up.

"I did too." Sango said.

"So did we…" Michie said speaking out for herself and her aunt and uncle.

"His parents did also." Miroku finished.

"Flight 115 to Paris, France is now boarding! Passengers may start filtering in at gate 8! Take off is in 45 minutes"

Kagome lowered her head. "I see…well then…I guess this is it." She picked up her carry on bag. "I'll see you all when I get back."

"You have all you credit cards, your cell phone, laptop, plane ticket and passport right?" He mother asked.

Kagome chuckled and nodded her head. "Check, check, check mother."

"Well then…you're all set to go. We'll see you when you get back." Her father answered.

She nodded once more before starting the walk to gate 8. But before she passed through the security doors, she dropped everything and ran back into her family and friends for one final hug.

"I'm going to miss you all so much. Mom, dad, Michie…all of you. Thank you!"

"We love you Kagome, now you hurry up before you miss your plane!" He mother said.

Kagome wiped away the tears that had fallen on her face before once again heading for gate 8. She picked up her bags, walked through the security door, and boarded the airplane…first class. [AN: just figured I'd throw it out there. L0l]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was around six forty-five that evening and Inuyasha was in a park not to far from his house. Many times he thought, and re-thought about seeing Kagome at lift off, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. So in order to keep his mind off of things he chucked rocks at trees. However, he was so preoccupied with that he was doing, it never occurred to him that a familiar scent was approaching him. Along with a strong angry aura pouring off that someone.

Well…good luck Kagome…have fun in France…I'll be here when you get back…

"Hey!" A feminine voice broke his thoughts.

Inuyasha furrowed his eyebrows but didn't turn to the person trying to get his attention.

"I SAID HEY!" The person was even more upset.

Inuyasha decided to finally turn around and face the girl. But upon being met with a face, he was also met with fiery eyes, and smoke filled ears. But Inuyasha only sighed heavily. "What Michie…what do you want?"

Michie closed her eyes and counted to ten in attempt not to rip his throat out. Once calm she answered him. "Kagome just left for France!" She boldly exclaimed.

Inuyasha scratched his head. "Oh…she did? That was today wasn't it?" He sarcastically answered.

"Yea, it was! And where were you!?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "Nowhere…everywhere…somewhere…"

Michie had to bite her tongue to hold back the threats that desperately wanted to exit her mouth. But she grew tired of his sarcasm and was going to make him listen regardless of what he wanted. She walked up on him and violently slapped Inuyasha across the face.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!"

It took a moment for Inuyasha to recover from the stinging that now grazed the side of his face. When he was stable, he glared at Michie, thought she didn't really care.

"What…do you want…?" He answered in a low growl.

"I SAID Kagome left today!"

"Okay…GOOD for HER!! Now leave!"

Michie's jaw dropped and she raised both eyebrows. "How could you not go and see her off? Wish her good luck! SOMETHING! She's you're damn girlfriend…scratch that…she's your FIANCEE! And you don't even have the decency to swallow your pride and tell her goodbye! Do you hate Kagome THAT much because she didn't tell you about this stupid trip!!!" Michie was on the verge of yelling, but she didn't want to completely loose her mind.

Inuyasha grunted, but didn't answer. He merely turned his back to the girl.

Michie shook her head in disgust. "I don't believe you Inuyasha. You really don't care that Kagome wont be seen face to face until damn near December! You…don't care…"

Inuyasha couldn't take all the blame that was being pinned to him and refused to let it all fall on him. He turned back to Michie now equally as upset.

"IF SHE DIDN'T CARE TO TELL ME SHE MIGHT BE LEAVING…WHY SHOULD I CARE THAT SHE ACTUALLY GOES!? IT'S NOT FAULT WE'RE IN THIS ARGUMENT IT'S HERS! SHE'S THE ONE WHO APPLIED FOR THE SCHOOL! SHE'S THE ONE THAT GOT ACCEPTED AND DIDN'T TELL ANYONE! SHE'S THE ONE THAT MADE SURE I WAS THE ONLY PERSON UP IN THE AIR! AND SHE'S THE ONE WHO DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHY I WAS UPSET WITH HER! INSEAD, SHE WANTED TO HAVE HER OWN INTERPRETATION AND MAKE YOU ALL FEEL SORRY FOR HER BECAUSE I WOULDN'T COME OUT AND TELL HER MYSELF! SHE DID IT! SHE CAUSED IT! AND SHE'S GOING TO SUFFER FROM IT, YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T CARE! SHE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT ME, OR WHAT I THOUGHT OF THE SITUATION…"

"KAGOME CARED ABOUT WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY THE MOST! SHE DID CARE! SHE CARED ABOUT YOU, AND YOUR OPINION! BUT YOU WANTED TO BE THE IDIOT THAT WOULDN'T LISTEN TO WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY! YOU CHOSE TO IGNORE HER! WHEN KAGOME CAME TO YOU THAT NIGHT…IT WAS BECAUSE SHE STILL HADN'T DECIDED IF SHE SHOULD GO OR NOT! SHE WANTED YOUR OPINION! SHE WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU'D BE OKAY WITH HER LEAVING! SHE WANTED TO GO TO ST. ANDREW'S BUT NOT IF IT WAS GOING TO MAKE YOU UPSET! SO IF YOU HAD OF TOLD HER NOT TO GO…SHE'D STILL BE HERE!"

Inuyasha was currently lost for words, he'd never thought of this situation from Kagome's perspective. He spent all his time thinking about himself, and not about what Kagome may have been feeling.

Michie took a deep breath and got herself back together. "Do you understand NOW Inuyasha? Do you? Yes, you were upset that night…that's understandable. But Kagome TO THIS DAY has no idea why you wouldn't talk to her that night, or anytime after that. And right now, she's probably sitting on that plane very confused. She may even think you don't want to be with her anymore…at least that's what I'd think if my boyfriend wouldn't talk to me for…A MONTH!"

Inuyasha started pulling his hair in possible attempt to pull it out. "OKAY! I GET IT! BUT WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?"

"CALL HER DUMBIE! CALL HER BEFORE THE PLANE TAKES OFF! We got there early so she may have a couple minutes!"

Inuyasha nodded his head and sifted his pockets for his cell phone. "Damnit…damnit! MY PHONE'S DEAD!" He now brain blasted for a plan and turned to Michie. "Quick! Give me yours!"

Michie shrugged her shoulders. "I don't have it…" She calmly said.

"URGH!!! DAMN!!!" He yelled while running off in the direction of the nearest payphone.

"Hurry up Inuyasha! Her planes suppose to take flight at exactly 6:50!" She yelled.

Michie took a deep breath. Please…for all it's worth…don't take off before they talk…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome leaned her head up against the window and watched as the summer sunset. The heartache Inuyasha put her through never completely went away.

"Lady Higurashi…can I get you anything before we take off?" A flight stewardess asked sweetyl.

Kagome turned her head to the lady and politely said: "No thank you."

The stewardess bowed her head. "Very well then…get ready for…"

"Passengers, this is your captain. I'm letting you know that we will be lifting off within the next couple minutes. I ask that you all turn off any electronic equipment that may interfere with the airplanes radio signals. This includes cell phones, PDA's, laptops ect. Please fasten your seatbelts. Get ready for take off…"

Kagome sighed and pulled her cell out her pocket. She was getting ready to turn it off when the screen saver caught her attention. It was of her and Inuyasha of their first kiss in Kissing Courtyard. Sango had taken it back then and sent it to her for remembrance.

She smiled at the memory.

Inuyasha…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha threw himself into the payphone stand. He emptied his pockets for something as small as twenty-five cents to make a phone call. When he finally found what he needed he attacked the phone, and dialed Kagome's cell phone number. His hand was shaking nervously and had a million thoughts running threw his head.

"Come on…come on…come on…" He said as the phone finally started ringing.

The phone must have rang all of three times before:

"Hello!"

"Kagome! I really need to talk to you and I hope your plane didn't…"

"Just kidding!!! You're on the answering machine! Leave a message and I'll be sure to call you back! Beep."

Inuyasha's mouth dropped and he felt as though he heart had just been ripped out his chest, stomped on, and cut up. He lowered the phone from his face and hung it back up. He tried to fight the tears that were threatening to fall. Inuyasha bit his bottom lip and looked towards the sky. At the very second, an airplane flew over him in the sky.

"Goodbye Kagome…I love you."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome stared at the black screen that was now her phone. A tear fell off her face as she leaned against the window once again. The plane began moving, and she felt once she was in the air.

At that moment she whispered: "Goodbye Inuyasha…I love you."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

AN: This chapter made me cry, but it only fits my current mood. I'd like to explain why update is so late but I really don't feel like going through a laundry list of reasons. Long story short, my little cousin Tyree has been missing and they found him early this morning.

Okay so anyway…off that subject I hope this chapter was enjoyable, though it was pretty melancholy. I do apologize. Please R&R and thank you for all the ones that you've all given me. They keep me motivated. And now, for some responses.

#1. Kagome is no longer in a caste. This is months after her accident. I was going to drop a hint about that in upcoming chapters. But yea…NO caste.

#2. Does Kikyo plan to get close to Inuyasha while Kagome's in France? NO! Kikyo plays a small, but meaningful roll in this story. You guys just don't know what it is yet. =]

#3. Mad4Life: I totally agree. Your comment made me laugh for days.

#4. Did it occur to Kagome that Inuyasha already knew? No, but you guys must have picked that up with this chapter at least…I hope.

#5. Did I know the last chapter sounded like Zoey 101's: Goodbye Zoey? Yes I did. I fact I said why in the last chapter.

Alright I think that's about it. If I missed your question, leave a review, or message me. I'll be sure to reply. Okay

Thanks,
