"Twenty Seconds."
"Deal." They all flew out of the house, quicker than the olympic runners,
and slammed the door behind him.
"Damn Miroku, Sango, and Naraku."

Grave Of The Fireflies
Fifthteenth Shot
Diary Entry Number Two
***
Kagome was still asleep, dreaming peacefully. It was about 4:38 PM now,
and he went downstairs' to greet his parents. They should be home in about
twelve minutes.
He turned on the T.V. just to watch the local news'. Then, he saw his
father's face, and was watching with at most interest.
"It seems, Taishio here has now gotten a hold of the richest stock in
America, and now controlling their business also. He is now considered
the second most richest man in the world, first still being Mrs. Rumiko
Tahakashi!" An older lady came on the screen, and was clearly Japanese.
Inuyasha snorted. "Great.. more popularity.. just what I NEED
at the moment." He flipped the channels, and he was watching Animal Planet.
Some guy was on there talking about funniest animals.
Currently, there was a sheep on there, humping a human. Oh yeah, REAL
nice... something he was just DYING to see! "Inuyasha! Kagome! We're
home!" His parents came walking in the room he was in, and he changed the
channel really fast to make sure that they didn't see that he was watching
that.
If you consider, that was at least one hundred times more milder
than what he had just turned to! An american porn channel!
They're eyes bulged out of their sockets, and he didn't know what was
wrong with them. He followed their gazes, which lead right to the T.V.
Oh, he was in big shit now.
"Inuyasha.. um.. may I ask what you are doing watching that channel?"
Mr. Taishio asked, firmly.
"I um.." He was cut off from making an excuse when Kagome came down
the stairs, having something written on paper. She handed it to Mr. Taishio
and he read over it carefully.
He smiled at Inuyasha, "Oh, never mind, son." He went out of the room,
to go get out of his work clothes. Mrs. Taishio followed.
Now, it was Kagome's turn to smile. "I bet you are wondering what I
wrote, are you not?"
"Yes, I am. Tell me!" He said, sort of nervous of what she could have
put.
"Well, I just put that one of the chef's were watching it before you,
and when you turned on the T.V, that is what happened to be there. And
that's when they walked in." She smiled, again.
"Oh, your good." He said, thinking, 'Now, why couldn't I have thought
of that?'
"Because your stupid." She said, reading the expression on his face.
She could tell by that expression what he was thinking at the moment.
"Oh, now I'm stupid am I? What does that make you?" He said, shooting
back at her, playfully.
"Even stupider. I am so stupid, because I fell in love with someone
who is stupid." She winked at him, and went to go get a piece of paper
and a pen. She wrote something on the paper, and went up to the Taishio's
room.
She knocked on the door, careful as to not leave any scratches with
her long nails. Mrs. Taishio came to the door, "What is it, dear?" She
asked kindly.
Kagome held up the paper, 'Can I go play the piano until dinner is
ready?'
"Sure! Play until your heart's content!" She smiled at the girl's persistence
and dedication.
Kagome scribbled something else on the paper really quickly, 'Thank
you!' She then skipped off to the piano room. She opened the door,
when for once in her life, she heard someone else other than herself playing
the piano when she wasn't there helping people.
"Been a fool, been a clown,
Lost my way from up and down.
And I know, yes I know,
And I see it in your eyes.
That you really weren't suprised at me at all,
Not at all.
And I know by your smile it's you."
Inuyasha.. he was singing.. and it was beautiful. Why didn't he sing
more often? It was so soothing to her soul, it made her want to dance across
the floor. Well, that room was pretty big.
She closed the door softly behind her, so he couldn't hear that she
came in. He smiled though, because even if he couldn't hear, he could smell
her wonderful scent of Lavender and Cherry Blossoms. He continued
though, as if he never noticed.
"Don't care for me, don't cry,
Let's say good-bye, Adieu.
It's time to say good-bye, I know that in time.
It will just fade away, it's time to say good-bye."
She let her feet carry her gracefully to the piano, and she wrapped
her arms around his neck from behind. Just savoring that warmth that he
provided her. He smelt wonderful, and just being close to him, was like
being close to heaven..or at heaven.
She nuzzled her pale cheek against his tanned one, and they shared the
warmth together. She began to sing along with him, their voices creating
a wonderful symphony together.
"I stand alone, and watch you fade away like clouds,
High up and in the sky.
I'm strong and so cold,
As I stand alone.
Good-bye, So long, Adieu."
Inuyasha's hands moved across the piano key's just as graceful as Kagome's
did, because she was now pressing her palm to the top of his hand's as
she had done before. She was guiding his movements, and her touch made
it tender. The whole mood al together, was soft. Serene. Calm. Peaceful.
Angelic.
Inuyasha and Kagome started up on the next verse,
"Oh how I love you so, lost in those memories.
And now you've gone,
I feel the pain, feeling like a fool, Adieu."
This song was perfect on explaining their feelings. In the beginning
it doesn't talk much about love, just saying good-bye. Now, it was love,
which was something Inuyasha and Kagome would always share. They knew in
their heart's they would be together forever, and nothing would come to
break them apart. Not like anything was going to anyway.
"My love for you burns deep,
Inside me, so strong.
Embers of times we had,
And now here I stand lost in a memory.
I see your face and smile."
Inuyasha was getting a little nervous about singing the next line, since
he had never heard it before, or sung it, it would be tough for him. But
Kagome understood his feelings, and said, "I'll sing the next line. Next
time, you can sing it with me, because you'll know the tune." She smiled
warmly.
Inuyasha nodded his head. He wasn't worried about playing or not playing
the right notes, because Kagome was there, holding his hands and guiding
him. She sang the new verse,
"Oh how I love you so, lost in those wonderful moments.
And now you've gone,
I feel the pain, feeling like a fool, feeling down, Adieu."
Kagome stopped her hand movements, as did Inuyasha, when she heard the
old Grandfather clock, singing his six o' clock song. It was time for dinner!
Kagome stood back from Inuyasha, and he turned around and looked her
in the eye's, "Thank you so much for teaching me that song.. it makes me
feel alive inside, even though, it is sort of depressing."
"Any time."
***
Dinner went by fairly fast, actually. After dinner, Kagome went out
on the porch, looking out at the now full rounded moon. A hand laid it
self on her shoulder, and she jumped in surprise. But, she calmed when
a warm voice emitted her soul,
"Its okay, it's just me." He moved his arms from her shoulders, to her
waist, and pulled her gently up against him. She put her hands and rested
them on his arms, and leaned back, relaxing up against him.
"Inuyasha.. isn't it just beautiful outside? Look at the petal's dancing
around, the warm mist in the air.. the moon's glow.." She trailed off,
closing her eye's.
He smiled. "I want to show you something."
"Okay, where to?" She said, returning the smile.
"Follow me," Was all he said, and before she knew it, they were walking
outside, their pathway light on a count of the moon. He covered her eye's
at the last five minutes of getting there, and then he said, "Open!" and
he let go of her eyes.
She smiled, and had joyful tears in her eyes, "Inuyasha.. its so beautiful.."
They were right in front of a beach, the moon's gaze reflecting off
of the water, in the back of them was sand, then it lead off into a Cherry
Blossom Forest, which they had just come through.
She sat down, and Inuyasha sat down next to her. "Its so wonderful..
I love the smell of the ocean.." The little wave ripples came up to touch
her toes, and she couldn't have been happier. This was the best thing that
had ever happened to her.. Inuyasha. Nothing, could ever beat that.
A little petal made it's way in the breeze to Kagome's hair, and Inuyasha
pulled it out. He kissed it, and then blew it out of his hand, letting
it float away in the breeze.
"Why did you just do that?" Kagome asked, wondering at his last action.
"I made a wish.."
"What's that?" She rested her head on his shoulder, and he wrapped his
arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him.
"That this isn't a dream." He put his hand on her jaw-line, and tilted
her head up. "I love you, Kagome." He leaned down and kissed her.
***
Yes, that's exactly how Kagome's day went, wonderful, with a lot of
surprises there. Especially at what had happened this morning.
She shut her diary, and put it under her pillow. She turned out the
light, 12:08 AM the clock said. It was time to get some rest. She shut
her eyes, and went to sleep that night, totally content.
***
So, for about the next couple month's, every thing was perfect. Inuyasha
and her had gotten even closer, his whole gang had gotten to know Kagome,
and every one was happy. Living a normal teenage life, getting along, and
everything.
Somewhere, in those month's, Kagome had gotten up the courage to start
talking to everyone, not just Inuyasha. You don't know how happy his parent's
were to hear her speak. They called her, 'A Miracle Sent From Heaven,'
she was so happy people loved her now. It was like she had a REAL
family. One's who cared for her, protected her, and didn't
betray
her. This, was how she always wanted to live her life, and she got her
wish.
Of course, she was still getting used to the whole 'being rich,'
thing, but it was going pretty well for her in that direction. Kouga hadn't
bothered them for a while either, but he was sending hints he was going
to do something soon.
That something, was today. July 22nd, 2004. The last day of school
for the summer.
