Some things were meant to be
This is the first fan fic I've ever had on (please excuse my penname, I really wanted something else so I guess I made this account about what..? 2 years ago? ;) Anyways, I really love the show (without being an annoying, rabid, fan girl about it!) and hope that you like my little story here.
About Kagome & Kikyou & I: They're my favorite characters, (though I'm a kagxinu girl myself, but I wouldn't mind seeing what would happen if he chose Kikyou, or hell if they both dumped him!) and I'd just like to let you know I don't have prejudice against Kikyou; I just like Kagome a little better.
disclaimer: I am not owning of the characters, I'm just borrowing them for a little while... (yes, that phrase is correct, sir!) Sorry if I spell any names wrong, but I'm pretty sure they're correct.
Quick: I know that Sango wasn't around during that time, but just forget that and go along with the story. ;p

As a river flows
Gently to the sea

Kagome climbed up the well, each step bringing her father away from everything that made her life different than any other normal school girl. Each step haunting her as a remembrance of all the times they had spent together, none to be had again. "I can't believe it... No more adventures, no more Shippo, Sango or even Miroku. No more demons, no more jewel hunting and no more... Inuyasha." By this time Kagome stood frozen, one foot still inside of the well. It felt like she was saying goodbye to someone who had died and closed the casket. 'I know demons have long lives, even half- demons I guess, but he's probably with Kikyou now, where ever that may be.' With a heavy heart, the young maiden headed back towards the shrine.
--
The next day was Monday, and her friends were glad to see her back in school. They concluded that it was some kind of miracle she made it out okay, even with all of those diseases and illnesses she had mysteriously gotten. Kagome stifled a sigh when the bell rang, and went to class.
No matter what she did, Kagome could not concentrate if her life depended on it. For some reason all of her thoughts circled around the boy she fell in love with when she climbed out of the well and into the feudal era. Kagome's eyes grew watery, but she did not give into her grief, not wanting to have regrets. 'I wonder if he's okay... Oh Inuyasha I hope you're taking care of yourself.' Kagome gently shook her head, 'Get over him girl, it's over now. It's been over before it started.'
A glint of red caught her eye and she turned to find what it was, but to her dismay it didn't seem to be anything at all. "Kagome, please go sit outside." She sighed and walked out of the classroom, 'I can't understand a single thing anyways. I've been gone so long.' Kagome leaned against the wall and looked up at the ceiling. 'Being in the past took up my whole life pretty much up until now. Maybe I should just accept it as a blessing; I was wasting my time thinking that what I was doing was worthwhile, right? Now I can finally study for exams and hang out for once.'
'I can't believe it; I have my own life back. This is what I wanted... Right?'

Later during lunch, Kagome felt better about being in school because she actually knew some of the stuff that went on in history class and having lunch was always nice, especially on a beautiful day such as this. 'It would have been better if he was here...' she sighed heavily. "Hey Kagome!" Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi chimed together at once.
"Hey!" Kagome tried to smile but to no avail, she just didn't hide her feelings very often, and failed terribly. "So did you finally dump that guy?" Yuka asked anxiously, opening her lunch box. Kagome remained silently and looked at her tray as the words echoed in her mind. "Yeah."
"It's about time! That guy was two-timing you, Kagome." Eri nodded, "Yeah, he was using you. Now you can finally go on another date with Hojo!" Kagome smiled a little bit. 'I really wish I had feelings for him, but I don't..." Ayumi looked at Kagome and frowned, "Do you love him?" A little shocked Kagome returned her glance.
"Love him? Love who?" Kagome's grip tightened around her lunch-box waiting for her answer. "Your boyfriend, the one you just broke up with."
"Oh, why would I love him? I'm still young and have plenty of other guys I could go out with! 'Sides we broke up just the other day, it's over now," Kagome replied hastily, trying not to get emotional in front of them. Eri and Yuka sighed with relief, "So, Hojo was asking around for you. You just have to accept since last time you ditched him!"
"I guess..." Kagome looked down at her shoes.
"Guys, maybe it's too soon, I mean, didn't you guys just break up?" Ayumi asked politely.
"No way! It's never too soon to hook up with the most popular guy in the school!" Yuka piped up, taking a bite out of her sushi. "It'll help you forget that guy anyway."
"Hey Kagome." As if on cue, Hojo arrived and smiled down at Kagome. "I hear that all of your diseases and illnesses are cured, and was hoping if you wouldn't mind going out with me this Saturday. Just a movie or something, nothing special."
Kagome nodded, wanting to make up for her last disappearing act, "Alright. What time?" she replied half-heartedly. "Is five okay with you?" Kagome nodded and Hojo ran off. "It's set then, you are now officially dating Hojo!" Eri cheered.
'Great... I'm going to have the time of my life, right?' Kagome finished her lunch before the bell rang and headed off for her next class. "Well... It might not be so bad, I could end up falling for Hojo for all I know," She muttered under her breath. Another flash of red caught her eye and she looked both ways in frustration. 'Damnit! Why do I keep looking for him? He's not going to come back for me this time...'
"Ack, I'm going to be late!"
--
Kagome scanned her wardrobe, trying to decide what to wear. Eri suggested something sexy and cute, but Kagome didn't exactly feel like she should dress like that. 'Well... maybe for him.' Kagome's face flushed and she hastily selected a skirt, and a white long-sleeved shirt with a scalloped neckline. "Anything's just as good as the next..." Kagome glanced over at the necklace that looked very much like Inuyasha's rosary beads. A little flustered Kagome shook her head, 'C'mon girl get a grip, it's been a week. He would have gotten you by now.'
'He probably already forgot me.'
Kagome ran a brush through her hair before checking her appearance and walking out the door. "When will you be back?" Kagome checked the watch on her wrist, "I'll be back before 10!" Her mother smiled, "Okay then, have fun!"
'Easy for you to say...' Kagome sighed as she walked down several steps, and sighed. 'I'm probably going to regret doing that for the rest of my life. Now, I can't ever go back unless Inuyasha comes here.' Her eyes closed as a tear trailed down her cheek. 'He'll never come for me, I'm nothing to him.' She squeezed her eyes tight together, her hands balling into fists. 'That stubborn hanyou thought nothing of me, all he wanted was someone to get jewel shards!'
As fresh tears dared to fall Kagome rubbed her eyes quickly before running down the steps. 'I just have to accept it. Inuyasha doesn't love me. He never loved me and I'd be a damn fool to think he could ever love me.'
"Inuyasha... was this the way it was meant to be?!" her voice trembled and her heart was torn a sunder to say his name once more, the sound echoing in her mind eye as she watched him run towards her. If only once she could have felt what her lips against his would have felt like, what his kiss could have tasted like, but now it was too late.
"Oh gods Inuyasha why did you have to chose her?" Kagome reached to dry her face and failed to watch were she was going. She tripped, her arms and legs trashing as she stumbled across the steps. Her body suddenly wracked with pain as she tumbled down and rolled out into the road, struggling to get on her knees. 'I think I sprained my ankle. It could have been worse I guess...'
Kagome heard a sound, but it didn't strike her as odd, but she felt something or someone was coming. Her luminous blue-grey orbs widened in horror as a speeding car raced down the lane. 'I have to get out of the way!' Desperately she tried to drag herself out of the way, but her ankle disabled her mobility. Kagome braced herself for the worse and screamed the only thing that came to mind moments before impact.
"Inuyasha!!"

Yes, there's still more to come! ; I know this chapter was a little slow, but you have to have at least one of those somewhere... I'm still debating what will happen next; so don't forget to feed me! (Reviews= me want to write more story)
