Summer Days
Author's Note: This is my first Inuyasha fic so I may get a few facts wrong since I've just started watching this show from the second episode and so far I'm up to the 18h one, so please go easy. Ok, so now the gang has added to their mission. Inu's parents were killed by a demon named Miyamoto and Inuyasha has promised to help find and kill this demon. Unfortunately, they don't have a clue what he looks like since no one has ever seen his face. And most importantly, Inuyasha and Kagome are opening up to each other. This chapter is going to have a flash back in it and a few of my facts may be wrong so please go easy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters! But I do own Inu! YEAH! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~* Chapter 10
Kagome had just arrived on the school grounds when her friends cornered her. "Kagome you're back. How's your flu?" asked Mai anxiously. Kagome's eyes widened as she tried to recover from the sudden shock of her friends questioning. She laughed.
"As you can see, I'm fine." She said. "Now who's going to give me an update on what's going around here." She suggested. They nodded and Jane began to talk. She began talking about missed fights and new relationships, then she had said something that made Kagome feel a bit nervous.
"Then Houjo asked us if you were going out with anyone we know." She said. Kagome stared at her.
"What did he ask that for?" she asked. April looked at her in shock.
"He said he saw you kissing some guy one night. Said the guy had to be 18 or 19 years old." She informed. Kagome groaned and slapped her forehead with the palm of her hand.
"I can't believe he saw that!" she announced. The girls looked at her in confusion and Mai threw her hand over her mouth.
"Kagome! You have a boyfriend already don't you? It has to have been that guy we say coming for you the night before you 'caught the flu'." She said. Kagome rolled her eyes. 'Very observant of you.' She thought.
"You've go a lot of explaining to do now." Informed Jane as they followed Kagome into the school shooting questions at her. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha was sitting up in a tree over where the rest of the group was siting. Inu was playing a game with Shippo that he had learned but looked nothing like anything neither he nor Miroku had ever knew about. Sango on the other had made a journey back home to see her family and they were to come and get her when Kagome came back home. (A/N: I don't like the fact her adorable little brother was killed and so was her dad, so they'll be alive in my fic!). Kouga just sat silently and watched from where he stood near Kaede who was working on the crops. Inuyasha looked up at the sky and let out a sigh. Kagome reminded him of someone he once knew and he was trying to figure it out. "Do you believe in having imaginary friends?" asked Inu suddenly. Inuyasha suddenly sat up straight and looked at the boy on the ground who was talking to Shippo and Miroku.
"Course. I had one when I was younger. I think she looked like Sango." Miroku informed. He grinned innocently.
"That's it. I know who she reminds me of now. she was that girl- Kagome." Said Inuyasha silently as he remembered a girl from his childhood. He leaned back in the tree branches and closed his eyes. He couldn't believe his FIRST real love was actually REAL!
*~*~*~*FLASHBACK*~*~*~*
A little boy with silver hair and dog-ears sat outside a small hut with a ball in his hands. He wore a read kimono and no shoes, his golden eyes focused on the children that were playing in the distance as he rolled a ball around in his lap, wishing personally that he could go play with them. A young woman came outside and smiled at the boy. She kneeled on the ground and wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed his cheek. He wiped it off. "That's nasty mom. I'm nearly a grown man, you can't go off kissing me in public." He muttered. She laughed.
"Since when is being six years old being nearly a grown man?" she asked in a gentle and sweet voice. The boy looked up at her and smiled, his golden eyes shinning.
"I'm half demon mom. And since dad's other son was such a disappointment, I'll have to grow up fast and take his place."
"Killing humans?" asked his mother seriously, but gently. The boy looked at the ball in his lap.
"No ma'am." He answered. The young woman sighed and looked at the children playing.
"One day you'll be with them." She promised. "Or I'll have another child for you to play with." The boy scowled.
"Nope. I think I like being your one and only much better." He said and stood up. "I'm gonna go play." He said and walked off in a different direction of the children. He walked into the forest and began bouncing his ball up and down until he lost control of it and it rolled off. He ran after and stopped when he saw a girl standing in a completely different outfit from what he had ever seen. She picked up the ball and smiled at him with shinning brown eyes and her dark hair blowing in the gentle breeze.
"Here. I think you dropped this." She said. He went up and took the ball, studying her carefully. "My name is Kagome Higurashi. who are you?" she asked.
"Inuyasha." He answered and examined her. "How'd you get here? Are you real?" he asked. The girl frowned and crossed her arms.
"I am. Are you?" she asked. She then turned around and looked around, before looking at him. "You're not real in my world since my mommy can't see you. I told her a boy was running around our yard with a ball but she didn't believe me.."
"You mean I'm not real to you like an imaginary friend type thing?" he asked and she nodded. "Then that would make you mine. but I would have had to think you up." He said. She shrugged.
"I didn't think you up. you just came to me." She said and she smiled. "Why are you playing alone out here?" she asked.
"Cuz I'm half demon. Humans don't like us. and demons don't either." He answered. She looked at him sadly.
'Then that's why we found each other. We need each other." She said and went up to him, holding her hand out. Inuyasha looked at her a bit unsure, but then he remembered that she said they needed each other, so he took her hand let and her pull him off into the forest. "Do know anything we can do?" she asked. Inuyasha nodded and gripped her hand a little higher and ran a little ahead of her.
"You know how to climb trees?" he asked and she shook her head. He continued to run until a large fruit tree came into view. "Don't worry. It doesn't matter." He said and managed to get her onto his back as he ran and then he jumped high into the air and then into the tree, bouncing from branch to branch.
"WOW!" said Kagome in awe, her arms tight around his neck. She giggled and looked at Inuyasha curiously, her eyes shinning. "You're the coolest boy I ever met." She informed, causing him to blush. He stopped in a branch and let her off his back and they sat down. He grabbed two apples and handed one to her.
"This tree has the best and sweetest apples." He informed as Kagome examined he apple. He took a bite out of his to prove that they were ok and she followed his lead. He leaned toward her a bit. "So, how old are you?" he asked.
"Five." She answered brightly. Inuyasha looked at her curiously.
"You're a pretty smart girl for five." he informed and she grinned innocently.
"Thank you. " she said and looked at him. "How old are you?" she asked.
"Six." He answered casually. "Once I turn seven I'll be a grown man and I'll be taking my dad's spot since my half brother is no good at it." He informed.
"Was your dad a demon?" asked Kagome and Inuyasha nodded. "And is your brother like you? A half demon?" she asked.
"No, he has a demon mom, but my mom is human." Answered Inuyasha. Kagome looked down at the apple in her hand.
"That's sad that you don't have the same moms." she said. Inuyasha looked at her curiously. No one had ever cared about him aside from his mother. Now this girl he had met was showing affections for him.
"Feh. It really doesn't matter to me." he informed. "Sesshoumaru is a moron anyway. He couldn't follow in our father's footsteps properly, so that's what I'm gonna do. Then me and my mom can live in peace."
"What did your dad do? He didn't kill humans did he?" asked Kagome. Inuyasha sat and though about that. His father did have two swords, one that could kill humans and one that was used to save them, though the one to kill humans couldn't be found.
"He couldn't have if he and my mom got together." He answered. Kagome nodded and smiled at Inuyasha with shinning eyes.
"You're very sweet. I don't know how no one could like you." she said and looked at something at the top of his head. "And your ears are cute too." She piped. Inuyasha reached up and touched them, blushing.
"Thank you." he said quietly. The children sat up in the tree talking most of the day, learning about each other. Inuyasha had to admit this Kagome girl was the most interesting girl he had ever met. He would have stayed with her all night if his mother hadn't come looking for him and she didn't have to go. Ever since that day, it wasn't the last time they saw each other. They continued to meet for four years, both growing a maturing in the process of it all. Inuyasha sat at the side of a river when a nine-year- old Kagome came up in a sundress and sat next to him.
"Hi Inuyasha." She said quietly. He looked at her curiously.
"Kagome. what's wrong?" he asked, getting up quickly. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
"My father died." she answered quietly and went into tears. He looked at her sadly. He already knew how it was to have lost someone. When his mother had died, she was there for him, and now it was his turn to return the favor. He put his arms around her so that she could cry into him. "I have to move and live with my grandfather." she informed.
"What does that mean?" asked Inuyasha in confusion.
"That I might not be able to ever see you again." Answered Kagome quietly. Inuyasha looked at her sadly.
"Well live here with me." He said. She smiled a bit.
"You know I can't do that. Right now my mom probably thinks I'm talking to myself." She informed. "In my world I'm siting in the forest near the park." She said.
"I don't want you to go." said Inuyasha and Kagome had new tears form into her eyes.
"Me neither, but we have to because my grandpa is giving us a place to stay." She said. "I just came because I figured maybe we could just have some of those good old days with each other." She answered quietly.
"This is your last day?" Inuyasha asked and she shrugged.
"I doubt it." She answered and looked at Inuyasha sadly. "You aren't mad at me are you?" He shook his head.
"No. Now come one. We need to go have some fun." He said and got ready to pull her onto his back. "And find out how you'll be able to see me again once you get to your grandfathers." He said. Kagome looked at him sadly and went up, kissing his lips quickly, before hugging him tightly.
"I love you Inuyasha." she whispered. He blushed a bit and quickly backed up.
"Cut it out will you? You know I don't do the whole mushy love stuff thing." He informed, causing her to laugh.
"Sorry." She said, wiping her face. "C'mon. Let's get out of here." She said and he put her on his back before running off to their tree.
*~*~*~*END OF FLASHBACK*~*~*~*
Inuyasha shook his head and let out a sigh, looking down at the others, who were so busy in their own worlds they hadn't noticed him space out. He sighed and looked at he sky. He couldn't believe it. There had to be something about this whole thing that made him and Kagome destined to be together. Meeting as kids and then again later in life. Then once he thought about it, the chances of him falling in love with Kikyo so long ago was because of her. She was the girl who he had first fell in love with and with Kikyo looking so much like her, he thought he could replace her. Then she came back to him. Looking like the young girl he first made friends with and the priestess who betrayed him. He shook his head. It wasn't Kikyo he had been in love with, but the five year old girl who had showed kindness to him from he start. He was in love with Kagome the whole time and didn't even know i. He closed his eyes and let out a sigh remembering what she had used to explain why they had met that day in the forest. 'Then that's why we found each other. We need each other.' he nodded his head.
"We need each other." He said in agreement and dozed off.
