Chapter 2
Kagome sat at her desk staring out the classroom window, oblivious to what was happening around her.
"Kagome, are you ok?" Eri asked her as she walked up to her friend. Kagome didn't even flinch at her question Eri shrugged at her other friends Yuka and Ayami.
Yuka moved into Kagome's line of sight. "Alright tell us what's wrong. Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"
That got her attention, "my boyfriend?..... A fight?..... No. We didn't have a fight. We just won't get to see each other ever again." Kagome fingered with the fang necklace around her neck as she thought about the guy that had given it to her.
"What do you mean? What happened?" asked Ayami as she saw the sorrow on her friends face. "Did he give you that necklace?"
"Yes he did. Its one of his fangs, he said it would protect me." She looked at the necklace as she spoke. "As for what happened, we're just from two different worlds. It wouldn't have worked." Kagome rested her head on her desk as a few tears slid down her cheeks. "I miss him so much already."
"His fang?" Eri whispered to herself.
"Maybe something will work out, in time!" Yuka said in hope of cheering up her forlorn friend.
"Unfortunately, time is against us."
"Kagome, are you gonna be ok." Ayami asked with concern in her voice.
Kagome closed her eyes as she thought to herself. 'I have to be ok for the sake of my family and friends, but all I want to do is crawl up into a ball and vanish.' "Ayami, when you fall in love, I pray you never have to lose it. Because it feels like a part of you has died. But I'm gonna get threw this for my family and friends." Kagome sat up and opened her eyes as the lunch bell rang.
"Kago.....me!?" Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka said together. Shocked at what they heard from their friend.
"Ok class take your seats!" The teacher announced the beginning of class. The topic at hand really unnerved Kagome. "Today were going to talk about 'Fate: an unknown power that predetermines and controls events. The meeting of an unlikely person is a good example. Does anyone have another example of fate at work." The teacher looked over the class, and of course no one volunteered. "Higurashi? You look deep in thought, perhaps you have an example."
".........How about.......a girl gets pulled threw time where she meets a boy. She saves his life and vise versa. She soon falls in love with him. Unfortunately they're from two different times and worlds. She then has to return to her time and leave behind her love never to see him again. Why would fate push them together just to pull them apart in the end." She answered the teachers question then realized what she had just said too late.
The teacher stared at her surprised by her answer. "Uh....ya...that would do. Anyway.....does anyone else have an example?"
With the teacher's attentions elsewhere Kagome went back to her reverie about what her life was like for the last couple years. 'No more fighting youkai, or being chased by them, or lusted after by them. No more worrying about when I get to study. No more quest with her friends. No more Shippo (a tear falls). No more Sango (another tear) or Miroku (another tear). And no more....(tear again) Inu...yasha (more tears).' She stood and fled from the class room without a look back, ignoring the teacher.

Kagome ran all the way home in tears. After entering the house she ran up to her room.
"Kagome......is that you?" There was no answer, so Kagome's mother went up to investigate. She found her daughter sobbing into her pillow. "Kagome...dear are you ok. Your home early, did you have a fight with your dog-eared friend?" She sat on the bed by her daughter and patted her back.
"Mama......it's over.....it's all over....the jewel........the jewel is finished....I'll never see him again." Kagome had a hard time speaking threw her sobs.
"Kagome....you know you can go visit anytime you want."
"No mom, I can't, I gave him the jewel and I couldn't keep seeing him...when he's in love with someone else. It broke....my heart.....every time I.....I saw them.....together. But now.....I think......it hurts more leaving him behind......Why is fate so cruel?" Kagome started to weep heavily again, soaking her pillow.
Kagome's mother continued to rub her daughter's back in order to calm her down. "Maybe fate isn't done yet. Until the day you die, you can never be sure of what fate has in store for you. Now why don't you some rest, you look like you could use some." She kissed her daughter on the top off the head and left the room.
Kagome rolled onto her back and started to fidget with the necklace again. "This necklace is all I have left of him. I wonder what he used the jewel for. Kikyo wanted him to become human for her. He wanted to become a full demon so he could be stronger. I don't want him to change at all. Well, what ever he choose, I hope he'll be happy." An image of Inuyasha holding Kikyo in a tight embrace played in her mind. Kagome rolled onto her side and let her river of tears flow. Soon she fell asleep, still crying.

"Kagome......wake up or you'll be late for school."
Kagome heard her mother shout at her from downstairs. 'Ow, why does my head hurt so much. Oh ya I must have cried myself to sleep.' Kagome reluctantly got up, and changed. She soon joined her family at the table for breakfast.
"So are you feeling better?" questioned her mother.
"A little better, but I think it's going to take more then one day for me to forget him." Kagome stated as she started to eat her breakfast slowly.
"Him who" her mother asked, slightly confused.
"Inuyasha, who else. We just talked about it last night."
"Inu......yasha, who's he?"
Kagome stared at her mother for a moment in disbelief. "My dog-eared friend as you called him."
"Dog-ears? Sounds interesting. When do we meet him?"
Kagome sat at her desk staring out the classroom window, oblivious to what was happening around her.
"Kagome, are you ok?" Eri asked her as she walked up to her friend. Kagome didn't even flinch at her question Eri shrugged at her other friends Yuka and Ayami.
