Chapter 3 - Meeting friends
It was nearly 4 p.m. Serena and the other girls were sitting at a table in the Arcade for some time now. Also Luna and Artemis were there. They all waited for Lita to arrive. Meanwhile Ami had told the others about what had happen.
"She never talked about things like that before. I mean old boyfriends." Rei said.
"Well, she only said that some guys remember her of him." Serena noticed. "So I thought this guy she's talking about would be her old boyfriend. But she said he isn't."
Mina looked at Serena. "Anyway we don't know who he is. I tried to find out, but she didn't say anything."
"Probably because she knew you would tell anyone else." Ami mentioned. "And like I know you, you probably would search for that guy and would try to get them together."
Mina blushed. "Yeah maybe, but what's wrong with that?"
"Maybe the fact that they were only good friends like she said." Artemis threw in.
"Do you know who buys your food?" Mina asked with an evil glare on her face.
Artemis smiled. "Your mother does."
"Argh!"
"Mina, please." Luna said. "We shouldn't talk to Lita about this unless she wants to."
The girls nodded in agreement. "I wonder why she isn't here yet." Rei said and looked outside.

Kagome was just on her way back home when she heard someone shouting after her. "Kagome!"
Kagome turned around and saw a tall brunette girl running towards her. Kagome smiled brightly when she noticed the girl. "Hey, Lita." Kagome said as she hugged the girl friendly.
"What are you doing here?" Lita asked. "You're grandfather said you're ill and have to stay in bed for some time."
"Oh, I'm better." Kagome answered. *Wonder what he told her exactly.* She tried to smile. Both girls started walking down the street. "So, how are you?"
"I'm . fine. School's hard but Ami helps us all a lot."
"So, you're still meeting each other?"
Lita nodded. "We're still meeting everyone. It's been a long time I know but, well, things kept us together." She smiled and hoped Kagome wouldn't ask what kind of 'things' these were.
Kagome looked at Lita. "Well, I wrote a math test today and I need a little rest. Besides I need to learn for history. I was ill for a long time and so I didn't visit many lessons."
"Yeah well, you were always good in history, so I think it won't be a problem for you." Lita said and smiled. "But, I won't stop you from learning and I'm supposed to meet my friends at the Arcade. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow again?"
"Yeah, maybe. Would be nice." Kagome answered her and waved. *If you only would know.* Kagome said to herself and thought about the fact that she was searching Shikon shards with a hanyou.
Lita smiled and made her way to the Arcade. When she arrived there the girls were already waiting for her. "You're a bit late." Mina noticed when she looked on her watch.
"She's right. I hope you're not going to become a second Serena." Rei mentioned.
Serena looked at her angrily, but before she could respond on Rei's statement, Lita took the word. "I know I'm late and I'm sorry. I met an old friend of mine and we talked a little."
"An old friend?" Ami asked.
"It's a girl by the way. I haven't seen her for a while and every time I wanted to visit her, her grandfather said she was ill." Lita explained.
"Well, this is strange." Luna noticed.
"I know. But I don't have the need to find out what's wrong with her. Her grandfather surely has his reason why he's telling everyone this." Lita said.
"What's her name?" Serena asked.
"I'm not quiet sure if this interests you, but her name's Kagome."
Rei widened her eyes. "From the Higurashi shrine?"
Lita nodded. "Do you know her?"
"Not personally. Our grandfathers are close friends. They often meet each other and talk about their shrines and some other stuff." Rei said. "I saw Kagome once I was there but I didn't talk to her. It's some time ago anyway." Rei shrugged.
Lita smiled. "Looks like the world is small."
"I just wonder how small." Mina said "How do you meet Kagome anyway?"
"Um, our parents were friends." Lita lied. "I mean when they lived."
"So, is everything okay with you?" Rei asked to direct the conversation on a different subject. "Ami told us about what happened."
"Yeah I'm fine. I had a little nap and I had no bad dream or any memories of the past." Lita smiled.
"Mind if I asked you to fill us in about these memories?" Rei wanted to know. "Ami said you told her more, but she wasn't quiet sure if she could tell us."
"I don't mind." Lita smiled. "I was three when I met him first. He lived in my mother's hometown. When my parents died two years later I went there and stayed until I was thirteen."
"What about this promise?" Mina asked.
"The day my parents died Miroku promised me not to leave me, but then someday he left." Lita answered and looked at Mina. *Shit, I said his name.* Lita looked at Mina and waited for her to say something, but Mina remained silent and so Lita continued. "And on that day I walked away myself, but I told grandpa, the man who put me up, that he should say Miroku I returned home. I waited for him all the time, but he didn't come and so I moved on. I thought I would forget about what had happen, but all those memories teach me wrong."
"You can't forget him." Ami noticed.
Mina looked at Lita with sparkling eyes. "Were you two a couple?"
"Mina!" Rei shouted.
Lita giggled. "No, we weren't."
"But." Mina started.
"There is no 'but'."
"I heard it. There is one."
Serena nodded. "Mina's right. I heard it too."
Lita sighed. "The truth is he kissed me and I felt in love with him, but I never told him and then he was gone."
Mina and Serena sighed at the same time. "This is cute. BUT WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL HIM?" Mina asked outraged.
"I was twelve when he kissed me and thirteen when he left! Every other human being would say I had a crush on him and not that I was in love with him. It's a little difference." Lita noticed. "And if you don't mind I would like to change the subject now." The others nodded and they started to talk about other things.
****
Lita walked home late that evening. When she was on her way home she passed by the Higurashi shrine. Lita looked up the stairs and thought about if she should give Kagome a visit.
Lita thought about it for a while and finally she started walking up the stairs. When she reached the front door she knocked and waited for a short moment. After some minutes Kagome's mother opened the door. "Can I help you?" She asked Lita friendly.
"Miss Higurashi? I'm Lita Kino, you probably won't remember me and I . ."
"Lita. Of course. It's been a while. So, what are you doing here?"
"Well, I met Kagome today and I was wondering if I could talk to her. I know it's a bit late and she said that she had to learn, but it was a long time we didn't saw each other and her grandfather always says she was ill. So I wanted to take the chance to talk to her now."
"I'm sorry but Kagome is sleeping already."
Lita dropped her head. "Oh, well, could you say her that she should phone me when she has a free minute?"
Miss Higurashi smiled. "I will. Goodnight Lita."
"Goodnight." Lita turned round and walked back to the stairs. When she reached them she turned back to the house again. Suddenly Lita recognized a shadow walking into an old shed. *Kagome?*
Curiously Lita walked to the shed and opened the door. When she entered the shed no one was there. Lita just wanted to walk outside again when her gaze fell on the well that was placed inside this shed. *God, its still here.* Lita walked closer to it and looked inside. "Kagome please tell me you haven't jumped inside this god damned well." She turned her back on it.
*Why should she? She doesn't know about or maybe she does?* She took a deep breath and looked back at it. *Well, maybe I should give it a try.* Lita looked over the edge again and jumped into the well.
