Author's Notes: Hey everybody, I'm baaaaack! I'm sooo sorry for not updating sooner. Please forgive me. (Cowers behind Hiei to avoid the miscellaneous trash items being hurled my way.) It's not my fault, really its not! I've been beyond busy. I had to get ready for a chorus competition in Atlanta, then I had a week to practice and prepare for a county wide Social Studies bowl, then I had to help make props for my chorus' end of year concert, and the list goes on and on. Much apologies. Now that its summer, I plan to update regularly. (Notice the word PLAN.)Anywho, enough babbling. On with the story.
Chapter Two: The Train Station
"Hey Nicky, over here!" shouted Kagome. "Hey Kagome," I called, dragging Hiei over to where our friends stood.
"So, who's going?" asked Hiei, trying to look like he didn't care. I knew better, though.
"Well," replied Kagome, smiling in a forced way, "InuYasha, Kurama, Sesshoumaru, and, of course, you." I clung tighter to Hiei's arms at her words.
"Five minutes till the train leaves," observed Kurama. We better start to look for it. So off we went, searching for the train that would take my lives only true love away from me for two years.
Finally, we found it. Number 237, a black steam engine. Two minutes before it pulled out. We began good byes, exchanging handshakes, friendly words, and, in some cases, quick embraces. Then everyone gravitated towards their respective boyfriend/girlfriend. Kagome hugged InuYasha. Kuramam pulled Lyn close and kissed her softly. Sesshoumaru and Paige followed suit, going slightly deeper in their kiss.
Hiei pulled me into his arms and I started to cry again. "Sssh", he whispered, stroking my hair soothingly. "It's not like we'll never see each other again. I'll be back in two years." "Two years is too long. What if you fall for another gir-" Hiei captured my lips and held them. "That'll never happen." He murmured against my lips. "I love you." Then he pulled me closer and deepened the kiss.
"All aboard!" shouted the conducter.. "I have to go", said Hiei, hugging me hard one last time, then breaking away. He grabbed his suitcase, flashed a smile that melted my bones, then jumped on the train just as it blew its last whistle and began to roll down the track. I began to wave, walking with the train, picking up momentum as it did, until the end of the platform prevented me from going any further. I stood there waving until the train disappeared into the tunnel that was a temporary portal between Makia and the human world. My hand dropped limply to my side.
"C'mon", said Lyn, walking up behind me. "Let's go home" "Okay", I whispered, turning away from the portal and walking to the parking lot with my friends.
"Two years", I thought as we reached Lyn's car. "Two years is such a long wait.
Author's Note: A special shout out to my friend Lyn on her birthday. Luv ya' girl. Alien three rocks! The rest of you know the drill. I implore you on bended knee, please REVIEW! You know I live off the feedback. So love it, hate it, flame or praise, I don't care, just review. Chow y'all!
