Chapter
6
Hello, Do You Remember
Me?
Katherine
and I stepped off the plane and into the airport. We grabbed what
little luggage we had. Mom, had told me that a month before she had
everything I would have needed shipped to the shrine and house. She
said she knew that I was going to go. So with that in mind me and
Katherine walked out of the airport. Katherine had never been to
Japan, but I remember it like it was just yesterday. Looking around
the airport I could see me as a five year old, sad and depressed that
I was leaving. I could remember vividly what Inuyasha's face was like
when I told him that I had to leave. I hailed a taxi and gave
directions. Katherine looked out the window and at the sceniery with
awe.
"Kagome, you used to live in this beautiful place? No
wonder you didn't want to leave." I giggled at her amazement.
"Yep, this is my home." The taxi than turned down a street
that was in my neighborhood. I looked out the window and the memories
came flooding back like a waterfall. The good and the bad memories
came back. We passed by the park and I could see kids playing and
running about. After about fifteen minutes, we arrived at the shrine
house. We stepped out of the taxi and I payed our fare after we
grabbed out suitcases. The taxi sped off and we were at the bottom of
the shrine stairs. Thank god we only had a little bit of luggage. We
climbed up the stairs. When we reached the top, I just looked at the
house and more memories came back. Katherine was standing there in
awe again.
"What a beautiful house you have!" She
said. And from looking at her, I could see that she was breathless.
"Yep, my home, well, let's not stand out here and gawk. Let's
go in. " So we did. I went around the house and found that
everything was like it was when I was five. There where some changes
in my room, like a larger bed and the things I was interested in now.
There was also a room for Katherine which used to be a guest room.
(or in the anime series Souta's room. . ) In my room I could see
a five year old me sitting on the bed thinking about Inuyasha and how
we accidentally kissed. I put my luggage down and pulled out my cell
phone, which I had received on my thirteenth birthday, and made a
quick call to Mom. I told here that we made it safe and that I loved
her and I'll talk to her Saturday. I hung up the phone.
"Yo,
Katherine, I'm going to the park, you wanna come?"
"Um,
sure!" So we both headed out the door. Mom had a car shipped
here for us to use. A nice red convertable. We drove to the park,
which only took about fifteen minutes or so. We hopped out of the car
and I showed her the way to the oak tree. I showed her the carved
names, which looked fresh like they did ten years
ago.
Inuyasha
Kagome
B.F.F.L.
The sight
of the words brought tears to my eyes. Katherine saw.
"Kagome,
why are you crying?" I wiped away the tears.
"Well,
the memory of carving the words on here came back. It was also the
day I had told Inuyasha about me having to leave. That's all. Don't
worry I'm okay." I than started to hum First Date by Blink 182.
Katherine didn't ask why or what I was singing.
"Um
,Kagome, I'm going to drive back to the house. Don't worry, I won't
get lost. I wanna, you know, chill for a while and I wanna leave you
here to think about your happy days. And if he is here I don't want
to interfere with anything. Oh, and do you want me to pick you up
later or are you going to walk?" She asked with a smile. I
nodded and told her that I would walk. She than left. I than started
to sing the song.
In the car I just can't wait,
to pick you
up on our very first date.
Is it cool if I hold your hand?
Is
it wrong if I think it's lame to dance.
I started to look
around me. A boy in a red shirt and black baggy pants was looking at
me. He was a far distance so I really couldn't see who he was. I saw
that he had a friend with him. He was wearing a purple shirt with
dark blue baggy pants. I ignored them both and started to sing again.
I mean, guys looked at me all the time at school. Which I remembered
my mom also signed me up for school here as well.
Do you like
my stupid hair?
Would you guess that I didn't know what to
wear?
I'm just scared of what you think,
You make me nervous
so I really can't eat.
Those boys stopped looking at me but
they were coming my way. I move to the other side of the tree and
continued singing.
Lets go... don't wait... this nights almost
over
Honest... lets make... this night last forever
Forever and
ever... lets make this last forever
Forever and ever... lets make
this last forever
When you smile, I melt inside
I'm not worthy
for a minute of your time
I really wish it was only me and you
I'm
jealous of everybody in the room
Please dont look at me with those
eyes
Please dont hint that your capable of lies
"I
dread the thought of our very first kiss, a target that I'm probably
gonna miss." That was what I heard from a voice behind me. I
turned around and the two boys were here. The one in the purple shirt
I know saw that he had a small ponytail and blue eyes. The other one
in red had sliver hair, a bandana, and sunglasses. For a moment, I
thought he was Inuyasha, but he was obviously some freak who liked
the color silver. In the schools here, you could get away with that.
"How do you know that song, girl?" The boy in red asked.
"Um, well, it's my favorite song in the whole world, so I think
that I would know it. " I said with sarcasm.
"You
look like someone I know." The boy said. Than the boy in purple
came up to me and groped me! I slapped him hard.
"Ow."
was all he said.
"Pervert!" I yelled at him. The boy
in red shook his head.
"Forgive my friend, Miroku. He has a
problem with that. He gropes every pretty girl he sees, so obviously
he thinks you're pretty.
"Thanks but no groping please. "
I told Miroku.
"Hey, who was that girl she looks like,
dude. You know the one you talk about all the time? Um, what was her
name, um oh yeah Kagome." Was what Miroku was saying to the boy
in red.
"Yeah, that's who she looks like. " The boy in
red said.
"Um, you know, that's my name. " I said to
them, sort of shocked. They just stared at me just as shocked at I
was.
"Yo, boy in the red shirt, take your sunglasses off."
I ordered.
"Why?" The boy in red said, while eyeing me
suspiciously. Miroku took them off him. The boy had golden eyes. The
ones I knew and loved so much. It had to be him. I looked around me.
No one was near. Good. Quickly I took the bandana off his head. And
sure enough was the dog ears. It was him! It was Inuyasha! I smiled
while he quickly put the bandana on.
"So, it is you."
Was all I said.
"Who the hell are you" Inuyasha
demanded.
"I told you my name was Kagome, Inuyasha, with
your nose, I'd think you would have know that" I giggle.
Inuyasha was shocked. I could see it in his face. Miroku waved his
hand in front of Inuyasha's face. And than stopped.
"You
can't be Kagome, she moved ten years ago." Inuyasha said
quietly.
"Um, yeah I can. My favorite song is First Date,
we carved our name into this tree, we met by you helping my on the
swings, you were six and I was five, and finally when we fell down
the hill we accidently kissed. " I said it all in two breathes.
Inuyasha was even more shocked. It was Miroku who spoke.
"Dude,
Inuyasha, you got kissed when you were six? From this hot chick?
Nice." Inuyasha than started to speak.
"I can't
believe it, it's got to be you. From all that info you just said."
"Yep, it is me, Kagome Higurashi." And with that we
embrace for a while and we didn't let go, even as we spoke.
"Kagome, I missed you so much. I thought you'd never come back."
He whispered in my ear.
"I missed you as well, Inuyasha,
you never left my mind." I whispered back. We let go of each
other when Miroku made some noise.
"Ahem." Was what
Miroku said along with a fake cough. Now, lovebirds, can we please go
do something? Me and Inuyasha looked at each other and blushed.
"What do you mean lovebirds?" Inuyasha asked. Still somewhat blushing.
"You know what I mean." Miroku replied, along with a smirk.
"Well, we are not lovebirds. Simply really good friends. Nothing more. When I was a kid, I was really depressed about moving and leaving my only friend. I had no friends so of course it was going to make me sad. But it took until I was older to understand the reason why I was depressed. When I was younger I might have thought it was something more. Than again, what does a five year old know. I also happened to experience my first kiss when I was younger, so that added to the confusion. Even though it was an accident." I explained to Miroku. I could see that he didn't believe me and that he was sort of confused. I looked at Inuyasha and he nodded as to say that he agreed to what I said.
"Okay, fine than. If that's what you say. Now, that's over with, can we please do something? I'm bored out of my mind. Even though your meeting was interesting." Miroku said. I nodded and pulled Inuyasha by the arm. I was leading him in the direction of the shrine. Miroku tagged along behind us.
"Um, Kagome, where are we going?" Inuyasha asked. I could also tell that he was nervous of me touching him. I concluded that he was just trying to look tough. So I let go but still led the way. Of course he still followed.
"Oh, we're going to the shrine where I live. Of course not by myself. I live with one of my mom's best friends, Katherine. She's really nice and she's like a sister to me. We met when I had to live with my grandpa. "
"Oh really, is she hot?" Miroku said from behind me. He than moved next to me on the sidewalk. Inuyasha just shook his head at Miroku.
"Um, I'm not the one to judge that. And plus she wouldn't go out with you, no offense. But you are too young. You're what sixteen and she's around thirty." I said and than giggled at Miroku's disappointed face.
"I'm eighteen, but that doesn't answer my question on whether she is hot." His face lighting up. I giggled.
"Well, you can see for yourself when we get there." We continued walking down the street, filling each other in on what when on in our lives in the absence of each other's presence.
"So, Kagome, what boyfriend did you have to leave to come here?" Miroku asked. Obviously he couldn't get off the subject about dating and hot women. I just looked at him and than smiled.
"No one, even though I was asked on many dates, I declined them all. I had the promise that Inuyasha and I made in my mind." I looked at Inuyasha. "do you remember the promise?" He hesitated before he nodded. I thought I saw a look of guilt in his eyes. I than blushed when I noticed how long I was looking into his eyes.
"What was the promise?" Miroku asked, once again interested on the subject.
"Well, we promised not to date anyone unless one of us were dead. We made this promise because we thought that there was something special between us, even though now today I realize that it was just a close friendship" I explained.
"Well, you said that it took you until you were older to realized it was a close friendship, even with this in mind you could of still gone on dates. But, when you were older you still didn't go on any dates, even though you were old enough to tell that it was only a close friendship, so you must have thought that there was something going on between you and Inuyasha. So, that's why you didn't go on any dates when you were older, along with the fact that you remembered the promise" Miroku smiled as though he found out some kind of secret. I blushed.
"No, did not. I simply didn't like anyone that way." I explained. Inuyasha smiled at my distress. After about half an hour we reached the shrine. We all walked in. There were boxes everywhere of course, since we had just arrived here.
"Um, did you just come back today?" Inuyasha asked looking around.
"Yeah, why?" I asked.
"Well, I see boxes everywhere and I though that you had been here for a couple of days."
"Um, well, as soon as we arrived here I went straight to the park in hopes of seeing you again. I thought that you wouldn't remember me or wouldn't care that I came back." Inuyasha looked at me warmly. I looked into his eyes and there was kindness.
"Kagome, I could never forget you and why would I not care that you came back when it tore me apart when you left." His voice was soft and kind. He than realize how soft he was becoming and went back to his tough guy mode. I had to giggle. He just ignored the giggle.
"Katherine, I'm home, and I've brought friends!" I yelled, hoping that she would hear me. Katherine came out of a door in the hallway and into the foyer where Inuyasha, Miroku, and I where. She smiled when she saw us.
"Katherine, this is Inuyasha and Miroku. Inuyasha, Miroku, this is Katherine." I introduced them and they shook hands. Miroku had another plan and groped Katherine. A slap sounded through the house. Miroku had yet another slap on his face. Inuyasha and I shook our heads. I than explained to Katherine that he did that to the pretty girls. So that made her pretty in Miroku's opinon. She blushed and said that she didn't want to be groped anymore. Inuyasha laughed at Katherine's answer because it was the same as my answer.
"So, Kagome, this is the famous Inuyasha I've been hearing about. And you were right, he is handsome." She and Miroku laughed while Inuyasha and I blushed. I than showed the two around the house. After about an hour Miroku said he had to leave. Inuyasha stayed though. I went to the living room to start unpacking.
"Do you want me to help you unpack?" Inuyasha asked when I was struggling to carry a box up the stairs.
"Sure, you can carry the heavy stuff, since you are a lot stronger than me" I said with some sarcasim. I laughed. Inuyasha just shook his head and laughed. Although he carried the box anyways. We started to unpack, even though Katherine had a lot of it done, he carried the heavy stuff and helped me put some stuff away. By the time we were done, it was about seven o'clock at night. Katherine called from the kitchen.
"Dinner's done guys!" Inuyasha turned to me.
"Kagome, I'd better get going before Sesshomaru comes looking for me and when that happens it's usually because Mom made him. Sesshomaru still hates me and probably will until the end of time. " He sighed.
"Nonscence, you'll stay for dinner and if I have to I'll confront Sesshomaru." I smiled and he just shook his head. He gave in to my demand and walked with me to the kitchen.
"Katherine, Inuyasha's staying for dinner."
"Of course, Kagome, I knew he would, so that's why I made a little bit more." She smiled and Inuyasha looked nervous. We all sat down and ate. Inuyasha complimented on the food and Katherine blushed. She wasn't used to being complimented on her cooking. I smiled. After dinner, Inuyasha, had to leave. I walked with him to the door. He was about to leave when I hugged him. He stood there as in shock. I looked up at him.
"Well, aren't you going to hug me back? Why are you so nervous to give an old friend a hug?" I looked at him with a fake frown. He looked behind him as if looking to see if anyone was watching and than hugged me.
"Well, um, I'm just...uh...never mind." He looked down at me and smiled. I thought I saw that look of guilt in his eyes again. We let go of each other and he left. Wonder why I keep seeing guilt in his eyes? Maybe it's my imagination. I shrugged it off and went back into the kitchen to help Katherine clean up.
"So, what did you think of, Inuyasha and Miroku?" I asked Katherine while I was doing the dishes.
"Well, Miroku is okay, besides the fact that he is a bit perversed. Inuyasha, is kind, even though it seems to me that he likes to put a tough guy mask on." She smiled. I laughed a little and told her that's what I thought as well.
"You know what, Katherine, you're like a sister to me and I trust you with my life, so you don't mind if I ramble to you?" I asked her, knowing that she wouldn't mind, but I wanted to be sure. I really needed to have someone I could talk to with my private stuff or my problems. She smiled and than giggled.
"I'm flattered that you think of me as a sister. Of course you can talk to me, you can even share your secrets with me and I promise to keep them. Though you don't have to. " I smiled.
"Thanks." I than started to think about Inuyasha and the guilt I think I saw. Katherine saw me in thought.
"Kagome, what's on your mind?" I finished the dish I was washing and it happened to be the last one.
"Well, everytime me or Miroku were on the subject about boy and girlfriends or when I hugged Inuyasha, I thought I saw a look of guilt in his eyes. Maybe it was my imagination." Katherine looked at me and looked like she knew what was going on. Her eyes showed a hint of sadness and concern, but quickly vanished.
"Maybe he's having problems?" Katherine said. "you know like friend problems?"
"Girlfriend problems?" I asked.
"Um, dunno, maybe he's just trying to get over the shock of you appearing out of nowhere after being gone for ten years. I'm sure that's it. I"m sure he'll be in a better mood tomorrow, more joyful."
"But, that doesn't explain why he had guilt."
"Well, I'm not sure. Maybe he has a girlfriend?" I thought about the concept. Could he really have a girlfriend and break the promise we made? Than again, we were only kids and didn't know any better.
"I hope not. " I said without thinking. Wait, did I say that out loud. Katherine grinned.
"Why? Do you want to go out with him?"
"What? Uh, n-no. " I said nervously. I than blushed. Katherine giggled.
"I'm just kidding, now you get to bed, you have school tomorrow." I smiled.
"Yes "Mom" " Katherine and I laughed. I said good-night and went upstairs to my room. I changed into my pajamas. I layed down and as soon as my head hit the pillow I fell into a bliss know as sleep.
Kagome's Dream
I was walking to the park, it was a bright morning. Very beautiful. I started walked to the oak tree and saw Inuyasha sitting there. I walked closer and saw that there was another girl in his lap! She resembled me only she was really pale. I stood there with my mouth open. I closed it when he looked at me.
"Kagome, I'm sorry, but I'm in love with her:" Inuyasha pointed to the girl in his lap.
"Yes, Kagome, he's in love with me and not you. " She laughed "tough luck." I stood there and then I turned around and ran. I didn't know where I just knew that I had to get away from this place. They sky turned black and it started to rain. The winds were getting stronger. I ran until I came to a bridge. I stopped and cried. My tears mixed in with the rain. I than felt someone push me over the edge! I looked up as I was falling. It was Inuyasha! He was smiling! He than turned to the girl and kissed her, while I was still falling! He had betrayed me. I closed my eyes and excepted my fate.
End Of Dream
I woke up with a jolt. I was panting. I looked around and saw that I was in my room. I sighed of relief. I remembered my dream and realized it was similar to the one I had when I was five. It envolved the same girl and Inuyasha betreying me. What were my dreams telling me? Where they only dreams or were they like preminitions? I hope Inuyasha didn't ever betrey me. I looked at my alarm clock: 8:07. Well, I was supposed to get up at 8:30 for school, but since I'm up I minus well get ready. I shut off my alarm and went downstairs. Katherine was already awake.
"Morning, Kagome. You're up half an hour early." Katherine greeted me as I came down the stairs. I just nodded and made some toast. I ate quickly. 8:15. Well, I don't have to be to school until 9:30. What was I going to do until then?
"Katherine, I'm going to the park, I'll go to school from there. Later! " She nodded. I grabbed my bookbag and put on my shoes. I walked to the park, which took a half hour. It was about 9:00 by my watch. I walked towards the oak tree and a girl passed me. I took a quick glance at her, she looked like the girl in my dream! She left and I sat down. I stayed at the park just relaxing until I had to go to school.
And so I leave it here. I will try to get the next one up soon, but I haven't been feeling good and school is piling work on me. Oh kay, please review, ::smirks:: or you'll be sorry. lol. oh kay later!
Sayannora!
