Reunited
Chapter 34: Distance
Kagome climbed quickly out of Inuyasha's flashy red sports car before he barely stopped and raced quickly away. She avoided the confused looks and worried glances from her friends as she rushed past them and into the school without saying a word.
The small group of friends standing near the front door turned to Inuyasha as he walked up looking down and depressed.
"What's wrong, Yash?" Sango asked.
"Nothing." Inuyasha replied dejected. "Nothing at all."
The group of friends watched, worried as they watched yet another friend walk away depressed.
"What's going on?" Ayame asked confused. "I thought Kagome was over everything, at least on the surface anyway."
"So did I, maybe she just had a bad night." Kilala rationalized. The others agreed a little less enthusiastically then one would expect. Miroku sat quietly next to Sango, unresponsive to the group. He knew something was off, but he didn't know for sure just what that was.
Kagome sat in the back of the library starring down at her hands. Her grandmother once told her that meditating helped clear the mind of all unwanted thoughts. Unfortunately she was having no luck.
She sighed as she sat back against the wall, and starred up at the ceiling.
"Haven't seen that look in awhile." Miroku said, sitting down next to her.
"What look?" Kagome asked.
"The look of sheer hopelessness. I believe the last time I saw it, you had just found out you were moving." He explained. Kagome looked over at him with a look he would describe as despair.
"It's not fair, why do bad things always happen to me and Inuyasha?" she whispered. Miroku wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his side. "I broke up with him." She continued out of the blue. Miroku sighed.
"Let me guess, you want to go home because you can't stand the dreams." He said.
"You always seem to know." she replied. Miroku chuckled.
"Inuyasha, is a great guy." Miroku said.
"I know that." Kagome defended.
"I know you know that, you wouldn't be with him if he wasn't. The point is, that he loves you, and would give up everything for you." Kagome remained silent. "You shouldn't be so….so…willing to leave him."
"I'm not willing." She said sitting up. "I don't want to leave him, but this isn't so prep with a grudge, or some rumor around school, I can't fight this."
"Yes, yes you can, and everyone here is willing to help you. I know you're an independent but come on Kagome, let us help you." Miroku explained. Kagome starred at him in thought. She had a chance to stay, but why did her mind tell her not to.
"I….I... need to think." She said standing up and heading out of the library. Miroku watched sadly as she left.

-xXx-
"I love you Kagome, I'm here for you. I'll do everything I possibly can to keep you safe." Inuyasha said as he trailed kisses down her neck. His hands trailed lightly, a feathers touch, creating goose bumps over her soft porclen skin.
"Inuyasha." She breathed as she gripped at the blankets underneath her, her nails scrapping the old wooden floor.

Two chapters until the end…..stay tuned.
