Yes, I know you all hate me for being gone for awhile :gets pummeled savagely: ok, ok! So I was gone for a few months, I've been drawing (got my own manga now!) and trying to keep at least a C average. Well enough of my excuses, on with the story!

Chapter 14: The Last Explosion

Kagome smiled, but she wasn't happy. There were a ton of people at the party and everyone but her seemed happy. She was pushing her way through the crowd and kicked someone in the back of the shin that refused to move. He yelped then turned around.

"Watch where you're going you- Kagome! Long time no see babe!" Kagome turned back around and ran, shoving people aside and stepping on people's toes. She reached the edge of the crowd and smiled only to have Kouga step out in front of her.

"Don't run away babe, I just wanna talk..." His smiled proved that he wanted to do more than talk.

"Gah! Go away dammit! I don't like you, never have, never will. I don't like anyone because love is something in the human genes to make sure that we reproduce!" She kicked him in the shin...or so she thought. She must've hit a little higher than she meant to because he was rolling on the ground. Sorry guys, had to happen...are their even any guys reading this? She turned back into the crowd and groaned in apathy, realizing that it had gotten bigger and rowdier. The yelling was starting to drown out the music and nearest the stereo it looked like a mosh pit.love mosh pits! And someone was hanging from the ceiling fan, twirling around with a bowl of mush dripping off of his head and onto the cheering spectators below.

She yelled as someone tried to pick her up to send her crowd surfing with some other people, she kicked them too. Maybe if she hadn't been wearing a skirt she would've, well, probably not. They let her go and she was off, making her way towards the stereo with a new determination. This party was beginning to be more trouble than it was worth and she was going to kick everyone out before the cops came.

She was almost there when someone grabbed her arm and pulled her in the opposite direction. She screamed in frustration and started flailing her arms.

"NYUUUUU! I was almost there! Ok, whoever is holding my arm when I turn around is gonna be in so much trouble." She turned around to yell some more but her breath caught in her throat. She tried to wretch her wrist from his grip but he was too strong. 'Ok, maybe I should've taken his advice when he told me to work on my arms.' She thought as she tried to scratch his arm off as he dragged her upstairs, why should she care if he was hurt.

"Where the hell are you taking me?" She yelled, pretty sure he could hear her because it was much quieter upstairs. She looked ahead of him to see Sango and Miroku standing by her doorway...they were going to lock her in with him!

"We're going to resolve this if its the last thing I do! I'm tired of not being able to be near you, every time we're apart I feel like I'm going to die!" He whispered as he pulled her closer.

"No No NO! She braced herself and pulled back, trying to regain control of her wrist; like usual, her plan backfired.

Since she hadn't been struggling for a while he had been unprepared for the sudden resistance. She had pulled him back and they had gone tumbling down the stairs. She cursed her stupidity right before she hit the bottom and everything went black.

It seemed as if she was going over everything that had happened to her since she had met Inuyasha, but not as her, as an outsider. She couldn't seem to quite remember something she knew that she should remember. It frustrated her.

Her dream self (that's what we'll call it for now) hit her forehead in

frustration as she hovered over the skateboarding instance. She got angrier as things started to fade.

Images of them on the Ferris wheel were the hardest to see, it was as if a thick fog covered everything, trying to swallow her happiest thoughts.

Certainly the happiest she had been in a while.

Everything disappeared and she was left hovering in a gray nothingness. Someone placed something cold on her head and her eyes fluttered open. There were people around here, and she noticed that the noise that had previously been there was gone.

"Kagome! Are you ok?" She nodded her head but didn't recognize the person talking to her.

"Uh...yeah...who're you?" The girl in front of her gasped and her hands covered her mouth. Tears rushed down her cheeks and she hugged Kagome.

Yes, you hate me, I know. Well I'm typing at school right now and should be able to update more often now. Thank Autumn Autnorot for starting me back up!

I'm going to have a stupid little thank you thing for the reviewers in just second, first I have to say….this is the end….finite! Now before you start screaming at me there is going to be a sequel that I'm working on right now. Doesn't have a title but the first chapter is done.

Now I really need to thank all of my reviewers for always being there, even when I was being stupid and wasn't updating. In the end you guys are the muses that keep me writing and wanting to write.

Plainly put I couldn't do it without you.

So pat yourselves on the backs and give yourselves a round of applause.

I hope to see you soon with the sequel to "Isn't Life Grand?"
