One Boy, One Girl
The Summer is Winding Down! And What About Kagome's Family!?
"sigh hm .ugn . . Inuyashaaaaaa?" Kagome slurred just waking up.
"hmm?" she heard muffled through a pillow.
"are you up?"
"ya are you?"
"ya . . where is Shippo?"
"I heard him leave earlier."
Inuyasha turned from his stomach onto his side to face Kagome who turned and look at him too.
"the carnival was fun!" Kagome said clearly showing that she would remember it forever.
"Ya it was the best yet! Especially because I busted that guy! Man carnival chocolate is so deranged but so good .. . ."
She giggled and sighed she looked up at him.
"Kagome . .?"
"hmm?"
"Where are you going to go when the summer is over? I mean we are selling this place because our college meaning me Miroku and Sango, have dorms. We were going to sell this place and get part time jobs to keep up with ourselves."
"Oh . . well I was thinking I was going to move in with my aunt. . ." she said with sad eyes.
"Do you think you would see us again?"
"no . ." she couldn't look at him it hurt to much that she would lose such good friends.
"Oh . ." he looked down at his hands witch suddenly seemed REALLY interesting.
"Do you think we should try and contact you aunt?"
"Yes I do . . ."
"Okay come on . . . I trust you know her phone number?"
She nodded. They both headed downstairs without changing, solemnly, as if someone had died.
"Hey guys! What is wrong wi-" Miroku was silenced when Inuyasha put up a hand and kept walking with Kagome to the guest room.
"Here is the phone . . I leave you to speak with them" as he turned around to leave Kagome stopped him.
"No Inuyasha! Wait! I want you to be here with me when I talk . . please?"
He nodded and she dialed the number.
Phone Conversation:
Hello auntie?
\Kagome . . is that you?
Yes it is I needed to talk to you.
Well dear me! Your family has been so worried about you!
What do you mean auntie they were caught in a fire.
Ya! And someone called the fire station and they just made it out! I am sorry to say your grandfather didn't make it out alive . . we couldn't find Buyo either.
w-what. .. . I thought they were dead I was the one that called the fire department and left with Buyo . .. he must have been outside when the fire started. . .
No they made it! We still can't believe you are safe! Where have you been staying all this time?
Well someone found me crying in an alley. His name is Inuyasha. He brought me to his house where his two roommates Sango and Miroku took care of me! They have been oh so nice! They are my best friends! Where is my mother?
She is right here with me! Would you like to speak to her?
Yes I would . . .
Hello my baby! I am so glad you are safe! We escaped with a couple of burns and ended up in the hospital for a while but we are fine now! Now who is this boy you speak of that helped you?
His name is Inuyasha w-w-would you like to talk to him?
If he is the one that took care of you of course!
Okay . .
She turned to Inuyasha with a scared look of disbelief
"Inuyasha . . my family made it out all right all accept for my grandpa . . my mom wants to talk to you . ." she had a frozen empty face of shock as she handed over the phone.
H-hello?
Hello! Are you Inuyasha!?
Yes I am
I am so glad you took care of my baby! We all thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
You're welcome . . .
So how old are you young man?
I'm twenty . . I just turned twenty about two months ago . .
Oh! What have you guys been doing all this time? Your roommates, you, and Kagome?
Well . . . we just went to the carnival together and we have gone a couple other places .. . Kagome's has been terribly worried about you.
Oh really? Can you tell me exactly what happened?
He turned to face Kagome and covered the receiver with his hand.
"Kagome? Can I tell your mother about how you ran away and stuff?" he was being really gentle knowing this was a sensitive spot. She nodded in return . .
Yes I can.
Oh okay I will wait until you are finished.
Kagome wanted to run away from home because she thought that it wasn't fair that you kept her from going out in the world, getting a job, and starting her own life in her own house. When she was on her way out to that shrine of yours she ran away. She decided that she needed to sneak back and get supplies later. She wanted to get a taste of the world. That is what she told me. When she sneaked back the house and shrine were on fire. Buyo ran out to her and she thought you were dead and she blamed it on herself. She called the fire department grabbed Buyo and ran into an alley where she cried. My dog led me to her and I helped her. And that is pretty much the story . . .
Oh . . well thank you . . may I speak to her now?
Sure . .hold on . . .
Hello?
Hello Kagome. I understand that you have had it hard and that they have taken very good care of you and I glad for that. But you are going to have to come home at the end of the summer. They are rebuilding the house and the shrine. The house will be done by then. You need to come home so you can go to college.
I understand . . when do I come?
Well I will let you hang out with your friends until one week before school starts. That is exactly six days from now. Okay?
Okay.
Well I will talk to you later! I am so happy you are safe! And please thank Inuyasha again!
I will
Bye
Bye.
Kagome hung up the phone with a sulky face and hollow eyes.
"what is it Kagome?" Inuyasha asked clearly worried.
" I have to pack up and go home in six days . ." she said in monotone
"what!? B-b-but you can't! we have had so much fun! B-b-but . ." he gave up protesting and he understood there was no point arguing it.
"I understand . ." He breathed clearly upset he would have to leave Kagome.
With that answer she burst out crying and buried herself in his chest sobbing uncontrollably.
"I-I-I-I don't want to lose you guys!" she wailed.
"I know Kagome . . try to calm down . . ." He was really hurt inside but he understood and he knew he had to be strong for her then.
"I'm so g-g-glad they are safe b-b-but I don't wanna go!"
Inuyasha flinched and then grimaced. He hated seeing her like this. She was like a small child. So . .vulnerable.
"I'm sure everything will be okay Kagome! Your parents love you and that is what counts. As much as we hate to see you go, and as much as it hurts, it is the best part of friendship. Letting go and moving on, still knowing that we will be here for you no matter what you say, think, or do." He said shakily but then put on his old smirk and looked Kagome in the eyes.
"Don't ever think that we will forget about you .. that is just plain mean!" he said with mock anger of a two year old.
"Na ah!"
"Uh huh!"
they continued that way as if they were two small children fighting over who owned a barbie doll.
"That is what I am going to miss though!" she said wiping her eyes and looking up at him.
"Your retarted humor!"
"Retarted? Isn't it retarded?"
"No! you don't want to make fun of retarded people now do you?"
"I guess not . . but hey! Every time you say that word think of me! I'm just tart-tastic!" he said with a smile.
"I'm going to miss you Inuyasha . ."
"I am going to miss you too Kagome . ." He hugged her to him for a moment before helping her up and leading her out the door where he told her to wait. He went and explained the situation to everyone with a sad smile. They were all really sad. Sango, with tears glistening in her eyes, walked up to Kagome and hugged her.
"We're gonna miss you kid!" Sango sniffed Into Kagome's shoulder.
Miroku went to hug Kagome when she, Inuyasha, and Sango stopped him and all said at once:
"Nothing perverted!"
"sheesh! I won't!" with that he hugged Kagome and told her that he, too, would miss her.
She wiped away tears but tried to keep the hope alive.
"Hey you guys! You are acting like I am already gone! I still have five days with you!"
"Then lets make it the best six days of our lives." Inuyasha smiled hopefully.
Sorry the story is coming to an end! But remember! This REALLY isn't the end! Once this is posted the sequel "One Boy, One Girl, Back to School Again!" will be up sorry the chapter was so short! Next Chapter: "I guess that is where you belong! Goodbye Kagome!" Please review!
