Chapter 4: Return to Japan

7 years later

" Hey sis, hurry up! Sango-chan's in the living room waiting for you," a cute, little boy named Souta yelled at his sister. He started to walk back to the kitchen and continue on eating his breakfast.

" Tell her to hang on....I'm coming!" the now 15 yrs. old Kagome yelled back. She stood up from the bed, checking her reflection in the mirror and smoothing her skimpy green uniform. She grabbed her backpack from her bed, nestled it on her shoulder and headed on downstairs.

Kagome ran from the stairs to the living room and stood in front of Sango, panting wildly. There, her bestfriend Sango sat, with her eyebrows raised and looking straight at Kagome.

" You woke up late again huh?" Sango simply asked.

" Ano.....well, I didn't get to set my alarm clock last night," explained Kagome.

" Sureeeee, anyways grab a bite to eat and let's go!"

" Yeah honey, you should get something to eat at least before you go to school," yelled Mrs. Higurashi from the kitchen.

" That's ok mom, I'll just eat a big lunch at school today. Thanks for caring mom," Kagome waved her hand to Sango telling her for them to get going. Sango stood up from the couch and headed on towards the door, Kagome following right behind her. They both grabbed their shoes from the doorway and put it on," bye mom! Bye Souta!"

" Yeah, bye Souta, bye Mrs. Higurashi." After they said their goodbye's, they headed off towards the school.

Tokyo Base Airport

Meanwhile, a young teenage boy with white hair and gold eyes stood at the corner waiting for his baggages. His hands jammed in his pockets. He wore blue pants and black polo buttoned down, and he also wore a hat on top of hsi head top cover his ears and black sunglasses to cover his eyes. He didn't want to catch that much attention from the people, because most of them are humans.

" Hey Inuyasha! Looking stupid as usual!" a guy with a black packpack slunged on his shoulder commented. His hair tied back into a ponytail, and was also wearing a black polo buttoned down matched with black pants.

" Miroku?! What the hell are you doing here?! Aren't you suppposed to be back in America doing your freaking language studies?!" the now 16 year old Inuyasha furiously asked.

" That's not much of a greeting ya know? How about you go like this, 'hey Miroku pal, great to see you..I've really missed you, how have you been doing lately?' ne?" Miroku suddenly stopped because of Inuyasha's threatening glance.

Inuyasha took hold of Miroku's collar and swung his fist almost to his face and said, " I asked you, what the hell are you doing here?!"

" Ok, ok, chill Inuyasha," started Miroku, " well, I felt lonely and decided to come with ya. I asked your mom about it and she said its ok and that you might need someone's help around here. I've lived here longer than you have."

Inuyasha stopped to think for a second and he let go of his tightened hold on Miroku's collar. He went back into leaning against the wall and thought about it more. Miroku is right, he has been here longer than Inuyasha. Miroku was originally born here in Tokyo just like him, its just that Miroku moved to America about just 5 years ago. He practically knows and remembers a lot more about the things that has been going on here in Tokyo than him, since Miroku also keeps in contact with some of his relatives that still resides here in Tokyo.

Inuyasha didn't stay in contact at all with anyone here in Tokyo, even her childhood bestfriend. He decided that its better not to write to her or anything at all so she wouldn't think much about him and she could focus on her studies. Inuyasha contacted someone here just recently though, to learn about things that has happened to his childhood bestfriend...Kagome.

Just a week ago, Inuyasha once again contacted Mrs. Higurashi and informed her that he is coming back to Tokyo for vacation. As soon as Mrs. Higurashi figured out that it was Inuyasha, she suddenly started crying for joy and was about to yell Kagome's name when Inuyasha stopped her himself and told her that its better for now for Kagome not to know anything. Mrs. Higurashi agreed with him because probably Kagome will not answer to the phone because she is harboring some anger in her heart because Inuyasha has not contacted her for 7 years. However, she still hangs on to the hope that one day Inuyasha will come back for her and give her a good explanation.

Inuyasha reached into his pockets and took out his wallet. He opened it and stared at the picture that was tucked into one of its side pockets. There it was...a picture of Kagome that has just been recently taken about 2 months ago. Mrs. Higurashi sent it to him after figuring out his address from Mrs. Taikou.....Inuyasha's mother.

Miroku looked at his bestfriend who was looking at Kagome's picture and seemed to be in deep thoughts and Miroku grinned to himself. Inuyasha told Miroku about Kagome a long time ago, the first month that they've known each other. Miroku and Inuyasha met each other at a prestigious highschool that they were put into. They happened to be put in a same class group and Miroku kept on bugging Inuyasha about how glad he is that they were together. Inuyasha hated him the first time he saw him because he was so annoying but finally got use to him and they became bestfriends. Then, Inuyasha once had the guts to tell him about Kagome and Miroku listened to him very closely and after Inuyasha finished, Miroku patted him on the back and said, " Don't worry, you'll see her again one day, and I'll be there with you ok?" Practically now, its just common that they fight and tease each other.

" Inuyasha, let's go get out luggages," Miroku said which snapped Inuyasha back into reality. Inuyasha looked up and saw MIroku walking towards their luggages so Inuyasha took a look one more time at Kagome's picture and smiled to himself.

" She grew up to be a really beautiful girl...." Inuyasha thought to himself. He put his wallet back into his pockets and headed towards his luggages. As he saw Miroku waving at him from the outside, he sighed to himself. Thanks to Miroku, Inuyasha got to visit here in Tokyo because he is staying into one of the condo's that Miroku owns here. Miroku is pretty rich and that goes the same with Inuyasha, since his dad also owns companies here in the Tokyo which was established recently, and he also has his own condo's.....but none of them were close to Kagome's place. The house that he used to live in when he was still a kid was still there and they still own it, but he doesn't want Kagome to see him living there, because Mrs. Higurashi informed him that Kagome still goes there to reminisce about things.

" Hey Inuyasha! The cab is waiting," Miroku simply yelled out.

" Alright, alright, I'm coming," Inuyasha walked out of the airport and stopped to look around him. Then he took a look at the necklace that was dangling from his neck with an angel wing plait with his name and Kagome's name on it, " I'm back Kagome-chan, I'm coming for you."

A/N: I know...this one was a bit short one too...but I just can't think of anything for now. Anyways.....wondering why Inuyasha doesn't want Kagome to know that he was coming to Tokyo? the answer's gonna be in the next chapter. And oh yeah, about their grade in school, I don't know the one that they do in Tokyo so I'll just do the same thing that they do here in America. Anyways, for later on the story, they were all put in the same grade as Kagome, even though Miroku and Inuyasha were a year older, they were still put in the same grade as them. Next chapter will be a lot longer than this one, I promise. Reviews please =)
