Sheeka: love bubbles over Koruineku
Faye: pops a heart bubble oO;

Also I'm sorry Koruineku is not here right now...And Sheeka is calmed down...let's see if Koru comes back and if Sheeka gets riled up! Alrighty? K! Here's chapter 4 of Turning Point!
Turning Point
Chapter 4
Kagome's eyes fluttered open at the sound of the person on the other side of the phones grumbling. She smiled softly and groaned before sitting up. Her headache had half subsided and she was able to think straight.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered softly into the phone. Hoping not to wake Inuyasha if he was sleeping and to grab his attention if he wasn't.
"Oh Kagome. Good morning." Inuyasha said, happily into the phone.
"Morning. Oh man I hope Souta got to school today." Kagome glanced at her clock and it read 12:00 P.M. "Holy shit! I slept in that late? You didn't go to school?"
"Nope. I stayed home...and waited for you, my lovely."
"Well...you really shouldn't do that, Yash. What if you don't get to go to college. You promised you'd go with me...well, if we were still together." Kagome blushed while saying it. It was kind of embarrassing to her for some reason.
"I'll get into college, and we'll still be together. I called in, told them I was sick and that I could make up all the homework I've never turned in." Inuyasha sighed.
"What? What is it, Inu?" Kagome furrowed her eyebrows.
"Well...a man always has his bad news after his good news."
"So what's this bad news?"
"The teachers said I had so much homework to turn in that if I didn't get it all done by the end of the school year I wouldn't be able to pass this grade. So I HAVE to do it, Kagome. I don't want to...but I'm doing this shit for you. So we DAMN well better still be together by then." Inuyasha looked at his piled up papers and books.
"Inuyasha...you should also do it for yourself. I can't guarantee the fact that we'll still be together in two years. I want to...and I know I love you enough to tell you right now that I could see myself still being with you, but...you must know that people have their problems. We have Kikyo and Naraku to ruin our life together. They already have, many times before, they'll stop it nothing to break us up for good." Kagome closed her eyes and sighed.
"Yeah...but they won't succeed. You know that they won't Kagome." Inuyasha smiled.
"Oh, hang on I have another phone call." Kagome smiled.
"Alright."
Kagome clicked the flash button on her phone. "Hello? Higurashi residence."
"Kagome? Oh my gosh, are you okay? You didn't come to school so we were worried." A young girl answered.
"Jennifer? That you?" Kagome asked.
"Yup!"
"Oh, I had a major meltdown last night, and an extremely bad migraine."
"Ouuu...what happened?" Jennifer asked, holding a bit of worry in her voice.
"I thought my boyfriend hated my guts...and yeah."
"Oh! I see. The Inuyasha guy." Jennifer nodded.
"Yeah. Aren't you supposed to be in school now?" Kagome quirked an eyebrow.
"Oh, I am, but it's lunch now, so I'm not in class."
"I see."
"Yeah."
"So...why is it that we can't talk about Inuyasha?"
"Well...you can...but if anyone hears it they're supposed to respond the message to Amaya and Amaya tells her boyfriend." Jennifer rolled her eyes.
"Who is Amaya? Who's her boyfriend? Why is she such a mystery?" Kagome asked.
"No one really knows who her boyfriend is. She's never with him. Actually, some even wonder if they're going out. I think we get to meet him today though. Are you still coming with us after school or are you too sick?"
"I don't know. Can you call me before you leave and I'll see if I feel any better?"
"Of course!" Jennifer said brightly.
"Great! Well, I have to go, I have a friend on the other line."
"Okay! I'll call you back later. See ya!" Jennifer replied as she hung up.
Kagome pushed the flash button again. "Inuyasha? You still there?"
"Sure am."
"Great!"

"So...Souta. How's school for you so far?" Nick asked.
"Oh! It's great! I have lots of friends now."
"Yeah...elementary school is always the best. Wonder what it's like in middle school."
"Souta!" A girl's voice piped up.
"Huh?" Souta turned around to see Angel. "Angel! Hi!"
"Hi, Souta." Angel blushed. Her brown shoulder length hair blew in the breeze as her bright green eyes glittered.
Nick looked at the two curiously. 'So it would appear that the little brat and the new guy like each other, eh? Well, that always sucks. Thought Angel would always like me, but this is almost better.' Nick smiled at the two quickly.
"Souta...are you going to come to my birthday party too?" Angel asked smiling.
"Uh...I had no idea that I was invited." Souta blushed with wide eyes.
"Of course you are silly! Well...it's tomorrow night at the bowling alley! It's going to be SO MUCH FUN!!!" Angel giggled. "Oh yeah...you're coming too, right Nickie?"
"I told you I hate that name." Nick grumbled through gritted teeth. "Sure I guess I'll go." He sighed.
"GREAT! My two favoritest guys in the whole wide world are coming to my birthday party!" Angel smiled at them, then gasped. "Oh no! Lunch is almost over and I need to go invite more people! I'll see you all later. Oh and Souta it's at 5:00 tomorrow okay?" Angel ran off to go invite more people.
"She never loses that spark of energy in her..." Nick sighed. "Well, I'm going to go...I need to talk to someone. Later!" Nick waved as he ran off to meet up with some girls from his 'fanclub.'
Nick was a nice looking guy and popular with the girls. Souta never could understand it, but he didn't care, he wasn't that into girls at his age. It was just that one girl...Angel.
Angel was just so much different then any of those other girls. Souta never understood what it was about her, but he noticed that just the sound of her voice had his heart racing. When she turned to him and asked him something or even just said hello his cheeks heated up. The slightest little itsy bitsy comment made him flustered. She was beautiful and he liked her...he just didn't know he liked her in that way.
At the thought of the cute little eight year old Souta's cheeks turned red. 'Aw...it's nothing to worry about really. It's just a friendship and I might be attracted to her, but it'll go away soon.'
"Souta?" Angel walked up to him from out of the blue.
Souta jumped. "Uhh...Angel...um..." Souta stammered.
"Oh, I was just wondering why you were all alone. You know what? You should come over tonight! We can play my new computer game it's like...umm...Petz or something. It's really fun! You get to adopt a pet and then take care of it and dress it and stuff. It's awesome! So what do you say?" Angel smiled.
Souta turned a shade of red. This was never going to end his attraction to her. "Uhh...I'll have to ask, but if I can then sure."
"Great! It'll be so much more fun with you there!" She giggled. "Well, we better get going lunch is over in a few minutes and I think that it would be a good idea to start going to class so we're early!"
"Alright!"
---
"So glad that you could come, Kagome!" Jennifer smiled happily at her friend.
"Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better, and I figure, why stay inside all day if someone wants me to go somewhere." Kagome smiled back.
"So...how'd it go with your boyfriend? You two are still together, right?"
"Oh, yes. Of course. He loves me. I don't need to put a leash on him." Kagome giggled.
Jennifer looked at her curiously before she joined into the laughter. "You're so much fun Kagome. It's good to know you."
"Hi Jennifer!"
Jennifer looked over at the girl and gasped. "Kiku! I...I thought you left! Back to your homeland."
"I've moved back. Is everything alright? You look shocked?" Kiku smiled.
Kagome gasped and dropped her purse that she was carrying. This woman was...! Kagome knew she saw her somewhere before.
"Kagome? What's wrong?" Jennifer looked worriedly at her friend.
Kagome gasped again as realization came. "Y-YOU WERE GOING OUT WITH INUYASHA'S BROTHER ONCE WEREN'T YOU?!" Kagome's eyes were wide and unbelieving.
Jennifer gasped.
Kiku looked at Kagome's terror stricken eyes with a sad face and nodded. "I have, indeed, dated Inuyasha's brother."
"Wh-what happened to him. What'd you do to him?!"
"What'd I do to Sesshomaru?"
"Yes!"
"Nothing!"
"Then what happened to him?"
Jennifer just stared at the girls as the conversation went on.
"He's here!"
"Where?"
"I don't know!"
"Why not?"
"Because we broke up a long time ago!" Kiku started crying.
"..." Kagome breathed heavily. "I'm sorry Kiku...I didn't...mean to, I was just worried. Inuyasha hasn't seen his brother in a long time and everyone thought..."
"Yes, I know. Everyone thought we were dead. Well...we are..." Kiku wiped her tears. "To many people still. We ran away together..."
"I see."
"No time to chat, come on Kagome we have to go meet our friends!" Jennifer pulled on Kagome's arm.
"Kagome!" Kiku yelled.
"Yes?"
"Here. My numbers on the back...call me, okay? I wish to talk with you again." Kiku threw something to Kagome.
"Mm hmm" Kagome nodded and looked at the thing that Kiku tossed to her. It was a pendant with her name and number engraved in it...but the engraved words were so sweet. 'To my love who I'll love forever and always, Kiku Novo Mazarai.'
"Sesshomaru had that engraved into there."
"Then why did they break up?"
"I'm not sure...but I'm sure we'll find out, or you will at least."
"I sure hope I do...someday..." Kagome stared at the pendant.

Sheeka: files her nails Did you hear that Faye changed the name of her story to Turning Point instead of THE Turning point, because she found out someone already had the name...
Koruineku: Yeah, I also heard that she is VERY sorry to that person...she didn't mean to have the same name for her story...and she's been trying to look for another one that means The Turning Point but has a different word...
Sheeka: And nothing seems to turn out right for her in the end...
Koruineku: So to the person who's title Faye has accidentally taken...
Sheeka: Faye is very very sorry.
Koruineku: And she is still looking for a new title that is somewhat like The Turning Point
Sheeka: Any suggestions, anyone?
