Chapter 13: Memories and Heartbreaks
-Food Place-
Kagome sat quietly as she watched her friends talk to this girl that just came along. She doesn't know why, but she felt hurt and depressed inside. Like she was lonely all this time. Have her friends abandoned her for this new girl? Kagome looked down at her food, she hadn't taken a bite yet. She just listened on what they were talking about.
She heard that Winry and Ed were talking the most about their childhood past and how fun it was to stay in Resembool. Winry was also laughing at Shippo's jokes. Kagome looked down at her hands.
She then formed a fist at it.
"Hey Kagome," Winry called to her. Kagome turned around and saw Winry smiling. "Yes?" Kagome said quietly. "I heard you have these Feudal Era adventures, can you tell me about them?" Winry asked making a conversation with her.
Kagome smiled nervously and told all about her Feudal Adventures.
"You also hold the precious Jewel I heard. That is so cool!" Winry smiled as she took a look at the jewel. Kagome smiled nervously, she still felt hurt and jealous inside.
After that, she was left out again…
"Hey guys, why don't we go around town!" Ed suggested as he left a tip on the table. Everyone looked up and nodded except Kagome, who just stayed quiet.
-Around Town-
Winry was shopping along with Ed. The two were having fun. Kagome just looked at them.
Winry is nice… but…"Hey Kagome, how come your quiet there?" Al asked who was standing next to her with some shopping bags from Winry. Kagome looked up at Al and put on a fake smile, "Oh, deep thoughts again!"
Al looked at her; he also knew that something is wrong.
Suddenly, Shippo ran up to Winry with a bracelet he found. Winry knelt down and smiled.
"Winry, you want to have the bracelet? It was free!" Shippo smiled. Winry giggled, "Thanks Shippo, you are so nice." Shippo blushed. Kagome then remembered the times when Shippo did that…
-Flashback-
"Lady Kagome!" Shippo yelled as he was running to Kagome.
Kagome turned around with a smile and knelt down. "What is it Shippo?" she asked.
Shippo smiled, "I got something for you, and you're going to like it!" Shippo then pulled out something out of his pocket and it was a beautiful pearl necklace.
Kagome gasped happily, "Shippo! It's so beautiful! Thank you!"
Shippo smiled happily, "Just for you Kagome!" Kagome giggled and hugged Shippo tightly.
-End of Flashback-
It seems like those memories are fading away as Kagome stared at Shippo who was having fun with Winry. Al then came up to Winry with some shopping bags. Winry accidentally tripped and dropped the vase she was going to buy.
It broke. "Oh no! The base! Oh man, I was suppose to buy that for my grandmother!" Winry sighed. Al then put the vase's pieces together and drew a Transmutation Circle. Al performed alchemy and suddenly the vase turned back to normal.
Winry smiled, "Thank you so much Al!"
Kagome also remembered the time when Al helped her at all times…
-Flashback-
"Hey Alphonse!" Kagome was carrying the vase out.
Al looked at Kagome who was busily playing with Shippo and Nina, "Yes Kagome?" he asked.
Kagome giggled; "I need help with…" she was cut off when Alexander the dog ran in front of her making her trip.
"AH!" Kagome said as the vase flew up and broke in the ground. "Oh no! The new vase I bought for Mrs. Hughes!" Kagome sighed sadly.
Al came up and put the pieces close together, he then formed a transmutation circle. He did alchemy and magically the vase was looking brand new and back together!
Kagome smiled, "ALPHONSE! THANKS SO MUCH!"
Al blushed a bit, "No problem Kagome!" They all laughed.
-End of Flashback-
That memory was also fading away. She was starting to miss Shippo and Al more. Her chocolate brown eyes started to become sad and lonely as her friends left her out.
"Hey Kagome!" Winry waved as she was in the shop. Kagome looked at her, "What is it Winry?"
"Look at these mechanical stuff! Isn't it shiny?" Winry's eyes sparkled as she stared at the mechanical tools. Kagome just sweat dropped. She knew that Winry is interested in machine.
-That Night, In Headquarters-
Winry had permission to stay in the headquarter lodgings. Kagome was in her bedroom lying on the bed. Ed wasn't there. He was still probably outside with Winry, Al, and Shippo.
Kagome sighed as she turned around in her bed.
"Why do I feel like this? It seems that my friends… left me…" Kagome whispered. She started to get sadder and sadder. She sighed sadly and stood up from the bed, she wanted to get fresh air so she went outside.
-Outside at the steps of the Headquarters-
Kagome was outside and was about to sit on the stairs to look at the stars, until…
She spotted Ed and Winry sitting together! Her heart started pounding as she saw this. Her eyes just stared at them as she was listening to what they're talking about. Her heart felt like it was aching and broking…
"Ed, I missed you so much! I am always worried about you!" Winry said as she stared straight to Ed's eyes.
Ed looked at her, "Yeah, it seems that I was worrying you a lot…"
Winry smiled and looked at the stars. The stars were sparkling as ever. She was always in love with Ed all her life… She then looked at Ed. "Edward…"
Ed looked at her and suddenly; Winry wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him straight in the lips.
Kagome's eyes widened, how could he do this? Tears formed into her eyes as she saw this. She felt sadder than ever! First Inuyasha kissed Kikyo; Inuyasha fell into an illness, Nina and Alexander died; now Ed and her friends are leaving her!
Why are all these things that are so miserable revolving around her? She couldn't take it anymore. All her old and new friends did all this to her. No one really liked her. No one really knew that she existed or something.
"This can't be happening!" Kagome cried that Ed heard her. Ed let go of the kiss.
"Kagome?" Ed turned to Kagome who ran in the headquarters.
"What was that all about?" Winry asked Ed. Ed turned to Winry, "I'm sorry Winry, I like you as a friend… I loved Kagome" Winry's eyes became sad, "Oh… but I thought you said…"
"But I loved her…" Ed then ran to the headquarters as Winry followed behind.
Kagome ran into her room and slammed the door. She cried on the pillow.
She then remembered the memories she had with Ed… his nice smile, his face, and his sweet golden eyes. Now it seemed to fade away…
-Flashback-
"Kagome, take a look up at the sky…" Ed pointed out as they were on a balcony. Kagome looked up.
"It so beautiful Edward!" she smiled.
"Yes…" Ed stared up. He then held her hand. Kagome blushed lightly… Ed looked at Kagome with those golden eyes.
Ed then leaned closely to her Kagome was blushing red; she had been so close to Edward after they kissed on his birthday.
"Kagome…" he whispered as he pushed his lips to her.
Kagome's eyes widened, she then closed it and kissed him back. They let go…
"That was I what wished for…" Kagome whispered as she hugged him…
-End of Flashback-
Kagome couldn't take it…
She was all alone…
Ed: KAGOME! I'M SO SORRY!
Kagome: -is in her room crying-
Me: Well… it's getting to be real tragic here… -sniffs- Okay, I'm writing my next one so see you soon!
