Chapter 7

"Do you really want to go home to Japan and just continue your studies there?" said a blonde-haired girl, sadness seen in her beautiful blue eyes. "Is that your final decision?"

"Yes, Chean. I'm sorry but… I really want to go home. My heart tells me I have to." Kagome answered looking straight to her friend's eyes.

"I know that you will come home someday but, it's still too early. Your scholarship says you'll study here and finish your course for 3 years. Well… I just don't like the feeling of being left by a friend." Chean answered looking downhearted.

"I'm sorry if I made you feel that way. I will miss you as much as you will miss me Chean! Don't worry, I'll mail you often and call you so that we can talk and share stories. I promise that you will not forget me easily." Kagome said with a smile.

"Okay. But I will really miss you."

"Wanna go shopping? We still have two weeks to be with each other before I leave. We can -" the doorbell rang making the two girls jump.

Kagome walked towards the door and talked to the person that rang the bell. She returned holding a small package with lilac wrap.

Chean looked inquisitively at her friend.

"It's a gift from my bestfriend, Inuyasha."

"You mean from your boyfriend?" Chean teased, putting emphasis on the last word.

"He's not my boyfriend!" She said as a blush crept to her face. "He's just my bestfriend."

"Yeah right." Her friend replied sarcastically.

She sat down and opened the box to see a light blue hair ribbon in it. She smiled to herself and thought, 'Inuyasha never gave me this kind of gift before…'

The bell rang, signaling the end of classes and the start of the winter vacation. Inuyasha thought of using the short cut again so that he can be home as soon as possible. He was rounding the corner when a lady confronted him holding something.

"Umm…hi!" she greeted shyly.

Inuyasha recognized her as the one he saved the other day. He was surprised to see her again in the very same place.

"Hi! What are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked.

"I just thought that you might be passing here again. I want to give this as my sign of thanks. I really owe you." Kikyo said.

"That was nothing. You don't have to do this." He replied placing a hand at the back of his head.

"No, I really made this for you." She insisted, holding out the wrapped package that contains food.

Inuyasha finally reached out a hand to get the package. Their hands lightly touched. Kikyo pulled her hand away quickly as a blush invaded her cheeks.

"Uhh…okay. Bye and thank you again." Kiyo walked away with her head down.

Inuyasha continued on his way home still holding the package. "That's really sweet of her."

"No, this can't be. I just saw him two times. I can't possibly like him." Kikyo said to herself trying to dismiss Inuyasha's face in her mind. 'He's my savior'

She walked home still thinking about Inuyasha.

Is this a start of a very complicated love life for Inuyasha and Kagome? What do you think?

I wonder…
