Disclaimer: Nope. Don't own Inuyasha.
AN: I just got done listening to "Slow motion" by Juvenile. Good song… Love it! Lol. Well, sorry for the wait. Too busy trying to update DE… Haha. I'm also surprised my story hasn't confused anyone (yet) because all ready I lost a few brains cells for this fic! Lol. And I feel kind of bad for making Kagome's mom look like the bad one… But she does like Inuyasha, I think. Lol. Well, enjoy!

Kagome sat down at the corner of her bed. It's been three days since she last left the hospital. And not a word from him… Three days not knowing what had happened to him. Thinking why he wasn't there on the night before she left. What went wrong?
Everything was seriously going fine but not showing up on the last day of seeing each other just throws it off.
Kagome thought of giving a fake heart attack but knew that's got to be an idiotic thing to do. Not only will it catch his attention but everyone else's. She just couldn't see what was the problem.
Her mother came in by her bedroom door.
"Kagome?" she called. "I've got a surprise for you." She came in with a cart that had a lot of wires and a medium sized TV screen.
"What is it?" Kagome looked at what her mother was bringing in raising an eyebrow.
"It's your school!"
"My what?"
"You see, after the carpenters and the electricians put in the wires it connects you to the school."
"I don't get it."
"Kagome, you don't have to leave the house just to go to school anymore. You can just change the channel to go to a different period. Isn't that neat? No walking. Just get to stay in your bed and relax!"
"Mom. I hate it."
Her mother frowned. "There are a lot of things that you hate Kagome."
"Well, I loathe this, then…"
Her mother sighed. "What's the problem with it?"
She knew that her mother was trying dearly to keep her happy but she just didn't like it. "I don't want to stay in bed for the rest of my life just so I can go to school." She looked over to her wall. "I want to be able to walk and be with my friends. Not watch them in a box while they're the ones having a 'neat' time…"
Her mother just didn't say anything and walked out. Not caring what her daughter just said. Just wanted to relax and get the frustration out of her head.
Kagome threw a pillow out of her bed and groaned laying on her back and staring up at nothing but the white ceiling.
¤¤¤
A week and three days later…"Do you think it was something that I said?" Kagome asked staring at her friend across the table in Wendy's.
Sango stared at her straw and stuck it in her drink and took a sip, "Well, you can forget about this guy because… He didn't like what you said?"
"Sango, that's not what I mean…" Kagome put her fingers at the bridge of her nose and started rubbing it with frustration. She felt a warm hand on top of hers.
"Cheer up, Kagome…" Sango smiled. "I'm sure this Inuyasha will turn up and when he does I'll beat the crap out of him for making you worry about him."
"I'm not worried about him…" Kagome lied. "I just don't see why he didn't say goodbye…"
"Hm." Sango thought for a second. "I have an idea."
Kagome looked at her friend who took out her phone.
"My dad is a police slash detective slash-"
"Sango." Kagome looked at her friend.
"Fine, I just like saying slash… Well, if you could just give me Inuyasha's middle and last name, my dad can find some records about him and tell us where he lives… Or just get his phone number?"
She opened her cell and was ready to dial but Kagome flipped the phone off.
"No, don't. He'll think that I'm desperate." Kagome said.
"But you are! I mean look at you, that's all you ever talk about is why didn't he say good bye." Sango gave her a face as Kagome sighed.
"Just wait… I called the hospital and told them to give my number to him whenever they see him…"
"And when was this?"
"The day after I left the hospital…" Kagome smiled weakly.
"God Kagome. What am I going to do with you?"
¤¤¤
The next day, Kagome still couldn't get the whole Inuyasha thing out of her head.
What's with that? He tells her that he likes seeing her and now he doesn't even call her back. Kagome must've called the hospital ten times!
She would always call and tell them to have him call her with the number she left. But it's almost been nearly two weeks.
She was walking down a pathway, alone in the world and wrapped her arms around herself. She stared at the cement before her and had on a gloomy face. Then it took her to realize that no one ever made her feel the way that Inuyasha did.
She remembered Inuyasha and his clumsiness and laughed.
He would sometimes take her out by that river just to have a little private talk and how he would always say funny things. He would sometimes touch her with his gentle, amazing, and soft hands of his. Just even tapping her with one finger on the shoulder just gives her these huge vibes.
Sometimes he would go personal and tell something about him that he's never told anyone. How he was a hanyou and his father, a dog demon, was a great boxer and his mother, a human, the one who stands by his side every competition his father would attend.
Kagome remembered one night where Inuyasha touched her face and gave her a smile and said, "I swear… I know I've met you somewhere else, way before I worked here…"
"Where?" She would ask as she was blushing furiously at the contact of his hand and her face.
"In my dreams… and I thought dreams would never come true…" Kagome put her hand on top of his and laughed at him.
She smiled; as he would get confused why she finds it funny and then said that he meant it. Kagome seriously couldn't stop thinking about since then.
If he said all of that… Then why miss the night before she leaves?
¤¤¤
"I'm glad you finally agree to this, Kagome!" Sango went inside the cab as Kagome entered after her.
"Well, it's something to do rather than just mope." Kagome closed the door. "Besides I want to give Inuyasha a piece of my mind for leaving me hanging like that."
"That's it, girl."
As the cab drove off to the town, Kagome agreed to find Inuyasha with the help of Sango's father. Luckily Inuyasha was the only person with the name Inuyasha or they wouldn't have found out where he lived because Kagome never knew his middle or last name…
She just saw him as Inuyasha.
The cab turned a right and went straight down a road that Kagome and Sango weren't too familiar with.
As the town was neat then got a little empty until they were down in a city where it was dark and scary. Like being in a big ally with these huge buildings that looks oily and greasy.
As they deepen in the city Kagome stared out the shaded window of the cab and notice some girl walking with practically nothing on!!
"You think those girls are his girlfriends?" Sango gagged with laughter as Kagome shook her head.
Then on a few benches there were bums and poor little kids running around.
The whole city was nearly dark and everything looked so old and ruddy. The cab finally stopped in front of a store and looked a little bit weary. "Are you sure you ladies want to go here?" he asked eyeing the whole surroundings around him. The whole place was just two words: Dark and Scary.
Sango and Kagome nodded as they paid him and got out of the car.
"Wow, my dad wasn't joking wasn't he…" Sango said in a whisper but Kagome heard.
"Wasn't joking about what?" She looked ahead at the store in front of her.
"This city is for bad people… Like only mobs and gangs hang around here…" she whispered as a few people walked past them holding cigarettes and Kagome coughed.
"If he knew it was bad, then why did he allow you to come here?"
"He doesn't even know. He thinks I'm staying over at your house." Sango beamed.
Kagome laughed. Sango was always like that. Going without parents knowing.
"Well, lets go in…" Kagome and Sango hooked arms as they entered the store.
This store was Inuyasha's second job. It was like a miniature ninety-nine cents store but with food and the price was a little higher than one dollar. Kagome never would've thought that he would have second job because the hospital pays good…
Ring!The sound of the door entrance was heard as Sango and Kagome stepped in and the door closed.
They walked to the cash register, which an old man looked at them with his beady eyes. Looking at his tag saying, 'Totosai'.
"May I help you?" he eyed them as he never seen them before. He usually knows everyone but they were unfamiliar to him.
"Um… Where looking for a man."
He raised an eyebrow, "My, my… You two seem to dress to neat to sell yourselves."
"What?!" Sango and Kagome screamed in unison. Kagome bonked the old man on the head leaving a lump on his almost baldhead.
"Oh, forgive me… Who are you looking for?"
Kagome stepped up and cleared her throat. "Inu- Inuyasha…"
"Ah, Inuyasha!" he smiled. "He's in the back! Go! Go!"
He pulled up a board as Kagome and Sango nodded going through.
Kagome has never felt so relieved as the man didn't ask or bother her about him. He was kind and just let them in as if Inuyasha was really expecting company. Maybe he was but whom?
As Kagome pushed away the plastic flat ribbons that were used for a door, there he was as Kagome wanted to cry at her spot.
Inuyasha had on a yellow apron sweeping the floor. It was a huge room nearly empty. But in the back were boxes and Kagome couldn't believe that he was right there. Even though his back is to them Kagome put a hand on Sango to stay at her spot and walked to Inuyasha.
She felt her stomach get all tied up as she was nearing Inuyasha. She was nervous.
"…Inuyasha?" she started off slow.
He turned around slowly as he tilted his head and crinkled his eyes together staring at the woman before him.
They were both frozen at each other's presence. Kagome was just anxious to have her arms around his neck and hug him to death.
"Kagome…" he whispered.
Sango turned her head as she heard the click of the broom when it hit the ground and smiled as she saw her best friend Kagome hugging the jerk she didn't seem be fond of. But seeing like that made Sango feel all mushy inside. She was actually for them both.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried as she laid her head on his shoulder. "Why weren't you there?"
"That night…" Inuyasha asked as he felt Kagome nod on his shoulder bringing her closer and tightening the embrace. "Miroku told me I couldn't come and see you anymore…"
"Miroku?"
"He told me that it was best if I didn't know who told him for me not to see you at all. He said that they found out about me sneaking in at midnight just to see you… Trust me, I went mad."
"They?"
"I really don't know… Maybe the nurses ratted on me…"
"But why?" Kagome cried.
Inuyasha felt his heart ping when she cried a little bit more. He started to stroke the back of her hair and rubbed her back. He was happy that Kagome was in his arms and didn't want to let of her at all.
She continued to talk, "I've called so many times at the hospital… To have you give me a call since I left my number for you…"
Inuyasha pulled a little back and stared down at her, "I never got any messages from you."
"What?"
"The lady in the front desk called me up once but it wasn't about you leaving a message. She told me that I could never contact you or keep in touch… Because the day after you left I asked if I could have you phone number…" Kagome's brows knitted together as she thought for a second staring in his eyes.
Sango had her arms crossed and tapped her foot. She was getting irritated because she couldn't hear what they were saying. Just hugging like there was no tomorrow. She would just be fine if she could hear them but nooo…
"I think I know who's behind all of this…" Kagome was hushed as Inuyasha put a finger on top of her lips.
"First we have to go somewhere… It's not safe here…" Kagome nodded.
Inuyasha smiled and let go of the hug and took off his apron and set if down on a shelf. He turned to Kagome and intertwined their hands together and headed to the door.
Sango followed behind them after wards as they were in the front with Inuyasha's car that was mysteriously parked in the front.
He opened the door for Kagome and let her in and opened the back for Sango. Before she stepped in she held out a hand as Inuyasha took it and shook.
"I'm Sango." She smiled.
"Inuyasha," he smiled too and shut the door after her.
¤¤¤
"Uh… I'll just leave so you two can make out." Sango laughed as she stepped out of the car.
Inuyasha parked himself by the lake that he took Kagome a while back, way far away from his hometown.
"She's pretty weird," Inuyasha smirked as Sango left before she could hear him.
"It's why she's my friend." Kagome giggled.
They stepped out of the car and sat on the front of the car and kept silent for a moment.
Inuyasha smiled and turned himself at her. "How have you been?"
Kagome didn't know how to answer that. She was miserable. Finding out that Inuyasha wasn't the reason he wasn't seeing her or keeping in contact with her. It was someone who wanted them to keep apart.
"Fine…" She put on a light smile.
"Oh, that's good…" He answered.
"What about you?"
"Okay, too…"
"Good to hear…" Kagome nodded. She sighed and let out a small breathe. "It was my mom…"
Inuyasha turned to her, as he wasn't sure what she said, "What?"
"My mom. I think she found out about you and me and told Miroku not for you to see me ever again and for final… I just don't see why my mom has something against you?"
"It's okay, Kagome… I'm sure your mom has a good reason. Don't let me be the reason you two are mad each other…" He sighed.
Kagome shifted herself closer to him as he pulled an arm around her. She snuggled into his warmth and didn't want it to end.
"I just want to be with you, Inuyasha…" Kagome confessed.
He put his hand on her chin and held it up, "You know that I want to be with you more than anything, Kagome…"
Kagome, right now was the happiest girl in the world. What could beat spending time with Inuyasha? Inuyasha was secure and protective of her. She was happy that this was happening to her and she just felt like she could just run around with her heart beating along with her.
It was getting darker and a little late.
Kagome felt him move a little and leaned his head to her as she knew where this was heading. Kagome closed her eyes and as their lips touched, Kagome felt like everything around her was soothing and free. Like being in a beach and the sound of it's ripples connecting, waves over waves.
It was her first kiss and she loved it. It was with Inuyasha, the man that been Kagome's prayers. It was terrific where the kiss was leading, feeling red as a rose in the inside and running like a dog on the outside. Colors were mixed and tingled with Kagome's feeling she had. For that moment she felt as if she never had a heart problem…
Inuyasha was glad that he spent his first kiss on Kagome and couldn't think of anything but her at that moment, as everything around him was gone. It was just him and Kagome…
As they pulled away from each other Kagome smiled and laid her head on his shoulder and Inuyasha just kept his arm around her and his other hand reached for her and put his on top and brushed it with his thumb. This was right.
But for some reason he felt like it was wrong.
¤¤¤
AN: Don't worry when it said he felt it was something wrong. Nothing bad, I promise. Here's the news… few more chapters and I'm done. Yay! Then I got to work on my evil fic. DE! Ahhh! Lol.
