Kagome lay on her bed as she was listening to the CD player that Inuyasha leant her for her to use whenever she wants and now she's cherishing it. She remembered it like it was yesterday when she first met Inuyasha.

It's been a month and a half now and Kagome and Inuyasha were inseparable.

After help from Sango, she was able to have Kagome and Inuyasha have time to their selves without any problems or suspicion to any other. Kagome was grateful that she had a friend like her, very proud of her best friend.

Later on, Kagome has to meet Dr Miroku Houshi for a meeting with her mother because he wanted to talk to them both. Kagome didn't have a clue why but maybe she can ask him a few questions.

Also, she's sort of mad at her mom right now so she doesn't even know if she'll be able to go through with it. After having a talk with her about why she made Inuyasha keep away from her, her mother just didn't say a word and probably hasn't spoke to her since. She may have talk but only to ask if she was hungry or wanted anything from the store before she heads of. And that was it.

"Um, sis?" Sota walked in rubbing his eyes.

Kagome smiled at her sleepy brother, "Yeah?"

"I didn't mean to rip off the eye…" He pulled up a dog that he gave Kagome. She was wondering where that animal was… but it was just like Inuyasha… Gone, then realize that it was never gone from the first place. Someone just kept them away. She shook her head.

She laughed lightly and waved her hand, "Come here…"

Sota nodded walking to his sister and slipping inside the covers with her. He handed the stuff doll to her as Kagome sighed and put it aside. "So, you had him all this time? I thought mom threw him away."

"No…" he yawned. "I was just using him as a dragon with my Tom action figure and then when I ran threw the fence outside his eye got caught so I kept him in my closet…"

Kagome smiled and ruffled his hair, "What am I ever going to do to you, squirt?"

She looked down and rolled her eyes. Her brother was sleeping. She slipped out of the bed and tucked her brother in her blankets and walked out her room closing the door behind her quietly and not making a sound.

She walked down the hall to go to the bathroom and after getting out refreshed she decided to give Sango a call just to say good morning.

"I'm glad that you two could make it," Miroku sat down placing his intertwined hands on top of his desk. Kagome and her mother sat down on the comfy and fluffy chairs. "I have some bad news and some good…" he sighed. "I think it's best if I say the bad news first, than the good."

Kagome and her mother looked at each other and then back at Miroku.

"Kagome…" he said a bit down in the gutters. "I'm afraid your heart is getting weaker by the day…"

"What?" Kagome wasn't sure if he was joking but he wasn't. He nodded.

She felt her heart racing and wasn't sure if she was going to be able to hold it in her self because she was scared. Scared if her heart was really getting weaker by the day he would say. She was mostly scared of what would happen if her heart just stops and was breathing slowly and hard. This really was bed news.

"And the good news is…" he smiled gently. "We can replace that heart from a donor…"

"What do you mean 'replace' her heart?" her mother asked with her hand on her chest holding onto a handkerchief.

"She would have to go through surgery to replace her old heart with a heart that is functioning well and enough for her to live the rest of her life as a normal teenage girl." Miroku replied looking over at Kagome with his violet eyes lightening up.

"Is someone going to die just to give me their heart?" Kagome asked suspiciously.

"No, it's actually not that quite easy," Miroku looked down at his desk. "Someone has to donate his or her body to give to someone who is in needs. Like a heart, or the organs, and etc."

Kagome nodded in understand. "When will I be having this surgery?"

Miroku took a packet that was settled under his hands and straightened them out and browsed through it. "There are fifty people a head of you waiting for a donation of a heart."

"Wow, that much people just like me?" Kagome asked.

"Yup, and by judging how many hearts are here… You'll have to go to another place because if you get one here you'll probably have to wait for two years." Kagome gulped as he continued. "I have a page here where you'll only have to wait eight months but it's at a different state."

Kagome looked up at him with worries in her eyes. Different state?

"Out in Maine…"

Kagome gasped as Maine was on the other side of the country. How would she go through this?

"What do you think we should do?" her mother asked as she was also surprised.

"Well, I don't think that you should live there permanently but to move there and when the surgery is done and you're all healed up and ready to go, you can return here." He smiled.

"When will I leave?" Kagome asked.

"You would have to leave between now and three months… You would have to sign up. I would give them a call and give you an appointment but they would have to check you and everything before anything gets too seriously."

Kagome looked down at her lap and in and exhaled slowly.

"Is that all?" Her mother cleared her throat.

Kagome didn't hear the answer from Miroku but had deep thoughts inside herself and worried to death. She was sort of happy about getting this commandment and was thankful for her donor.

"Will the donor know who she or he has donated to?" Kagome asked.

"Uh, no," Miroku squinted his eyes a bit thinking. "I think that person would be kind of dead after the surgery…"

"Oh…"

"But she or he would have a blessed soul for helping a person who was born irregular."

Kagome smiled a little one, "yeah…"

Kagome and Sango were at the lake's miniature park sitting on a bench.

Kagome spent three hours with Miroku and her mother just talking about the whole thing of her getting a new heart. She would have to move in a couple of months and then wait until it gets to the eighth month to have the surgery.

She told Sango about the whole thing and Sango was happy that this was happening. Deep inside herself she was crying for her friend as finally she was going to be free and run like the wind after the operation.

The wind blew on their bare legs as they sat next to each other and still talking about the same subject. Kagome smiled and was glad that Sango was supportive about her doing this. At first she felt like she didn't want to and would accept the death but Sango convinced her if that she didn't do this she would commit suicide and Kagome didn't want that to happen to her stunning friend.

Sango was a great person ever to live in Kagome's life. Kagome was really lucky to have a friend like her and was so close they could be sisters inside themselves.

"Thanks Sango…" Kagome gave a weak smile, "I'm really thankful for you… I wish you could come with me…"

"Yeah, me, too…" Sango sighed and put her elbows on the top of the bench and looked up at the sky, "Maybe I could just say that I'm moving in with you and when the eight months, nine if I want to live on my own for a while, is up I'll move back!" Sango laughed.

"That would be a huge no right there." Kagome and Sango laughed at the humorous thought about Sango's father's reaction if she did asked that.

"Why doesn't Inuyasha come?" Sango looked over at Kagome. "I mean, that's a long time you guys won't be able to see each other."

Kagome looked at the lake ahead of her and spoke, "Two answers for that. One: He has a job here, two jobs actually. And second: my mom…"

"Oh, yeah…" Sango scrunched up the side of her nose. "What is up with your mom anyways? She's never acted that way before."

"Oh, I know… She just changed as soon as she discovered Inuyasha's past."

"Was it bad?"

"Well," Kagome paused before she could have spoken more and then cleared her mind and continued. "I don't think it was that bad but he's a different man, now…"

"Like?"

"He used to be in a gang and did horrible things but… He's different now…"

"I see…" Sango said in the breath of her lungs. She didn't sound to bright nor down about the answer Kagome gave.

"I mean, he's okay to you, right?"

"Me?" Sango sat up straight pointing to herself. "Oh, yeah! He's a total sweetheart!"

Kagome smiled and nodded. "I just don't see what the problem is then…"

"Aw, c'mon… If you think Inuyasha is still that bad boy he is, than why are you still with him?"

"I don't think he's a bad boy, it's just-"

"Then there you go! You shouldn't worry!"

Kagome nodded, "Oh… thanks, Sango."

Even though it didn't make any sense how Kagome just seem to get what Sango was saying but didn't want it to go any further to talk about that subject.

"Well, speak of the devil! It's Inuyasha!" Sango tugged onto Kagome's sleeve.

Inuyasha snorted, "Well, isn't it Sango!" he tuned at her voice.

Kagome laughed at the two and stood up walking over to Inuyasha. Inuyasha was wearing a red sweater and denim jeans. He always has to look cute, huh? Kagome thought.

He wrapped his hands around her waists and Kagome around his neck. But the moment faded as Sango interrupted.

"You two, planning on making out in public?" Sango asked raising an eyebrow as she was standing next to them. They both stared at her with annoyance. She waved her hands up in defense and backed away, "Gah! Geez, I'll leave… I know when I'm not wanted… I can take the hint…" she fake pouted.

"I still love you Sango!" Kagome yelled.

Sango walked on waving her hands, "Yeah… yeah…"

"I still think she's weird…" Inuyasha shook his head.

"And yet, I say again… That's why she's my friend." Kagome smiled.

"Yeah." He looked down at her and smiled, "How have you been?"

She tippy-toed and gave Inuyasha a kiss on the lips. "Fine as ever." She didn't sound too happy about it, though.

"Oh?" he noticed the tone in her voice. "Something wrong?"

"Well," Kagome stared at his necklace to keep her distracted for a bit. "Sort of bad…"

"Mind telling me what it is?" Kagome nodded.

After explaining what was going to happen in the future for her, she wasn't sure how Inuyasha was going to react. She was more scared if she was never going to see him again… Inuyasha felt a string pain inside him as Kagome finished. She stopped and looked at him as he stood there with her in his arms staring blankly. Did he lose set of words?

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha didn't say anything but closed his eyes for a second before talking, "…How long will you think you'll be gone?"

"I don't know…" Kagome laid her head on his chest. "But I do know that I'll be gone for more than four to five months, three if I'm lucky…"

"Wow…" Inuyasha sounded disappointed. He tightened the embrace and laid his chin on her head.

"I know, long, huh?"

Kagome felt him nod and pulled him closer deepening the hug. After a while of talking, they agreed to see each other more than anticipated before Kagome leaves for sure. Inuyasha inhaled her beautiful scent that he loved and will never forget. He didn't even want to let her go…

"I'll wait that long if it takes you to be happy then, Kagome…" Inuyasha whispered enough for her to hear. "I'll wait forever if I had to…"
