Chapter 2: You're going where!

Kagome lay on her bed, breathing slowly. She ran her hands over the bare mattress, staring at the ceiling. She couldn't believe she was leaving tomorrow. She closed her eyes and took a breath, trying to recall what happened after they had left the audition studio.

Kouga held her hand.

He was smiling at her, touching the side of her face. "It's gonna be hard to let you..go...no more duets huh?"

Kagome smiled and nodded her head, gazing into his achingly beautiful blue eyes.

He sighed and then touched her chin lightly. "At least I'll have that picture of you...you know the one where we were in that photo booth?"

She smiled again and reached up to touch his hand which held her chin. "I'm gonna miss you...but hey, we still have two weeks...and of course I'll be able to come back every weekend...it's not like I'm going to America..."

He smiled at her again and moved a little bit closer to her, holding one of her hands loosely..."Kagome..." He leaned in and tried to brush a kiss on her lips. But she backed away.

"No, Kouga. Don't do this..." She had said, touching his lips with his fingers. She didn't love him that way...She couldn't.

"Kagome...just one kiss...one kiss before you go...please?"

"No. Not now..."

"Then when?"

Never. She closed her eyes and thought for a second before replying.

"Maybe you can drive me to the school...and..." she swallowed, trying hard not to feel a slight fear. If Kouga kissed her...it would be her first. Why was she afraid though? It was Kouga, her childhood friend, the only person who truly knew her dreams and wishes. Who loved her for who she was...why couldn't she just...

And then she felt it, a light pressure on her lips, which made her flick her eyes open.

Kouga eyes were closed and he was kissing her. It was gentle, loving, and reassuring, just like his hand had been when she needed him. She felt heat rise to her cheeks and kissed him timidly back...and then he pulled away, his eyes warm and smiling.

She blushed deeper and then SNAP! the memory ended.

She opened her eyes and was staring back at her ceiling again. She felt the blush lingering on her cheeks and slapped her cheek. "What am I doing! I still need to go and buy some new clothes for school!"

She got up from the empty bed and looked around the old bedroom. It felt so empty, with only the desk and the bed there. She shuddered and wandered out of the bedroom and down the hall and stairs to the kitchen. Her mother had left a note.

Kagome,

Went to take Souta to soccer practice will be back with dinner from WacDonalds around 6! You can go shopping if you want, there's money in the cookie jar!

Love,

Mom

Kagome pumped her fist. A whole four hours of shopping! She then noticed that on the fridge was her official forms and acceptance letter. She stood in front of it and began to read it.

Kagome Higuarshi has been officially accepted to The Shikon No Tama Academy, located in Salem, Massachusetts…Kagome got no further than that. Like a comically chibi, her chin dropped to the ground.

"OH MY GOD!" And with that, she promptly fainted.

Kouga looked up from locking his car. He was just outside Kagome's home, one of the ancient shrines in the city. He heard a loud crash and dropped his keys and flew up the stairs and was pounding on the door in an instant. When no one answered, he bust the door open.

Kagome lay on the kitchen ground, her eyes swirling. He rushed to her side and tapped her cheeks. "Kagome-chan, Kagome-chan! Wake up! Wake up!" He looked around desperately for the first aid kit and found now and tapped her cheeks harder.

Kagome slowly came around to someone tapping her cheeks. Her vision cleared and Kouga looked down at her, his eyes full of worry and concern. She shook her head and sat up quickly, too quickly in fact and knocked Kouga backwards, where he promptly hit his head on the counter.

"OIIWWWI!" He screeched, rubbing his head frantically.

"Oh, gomen nasaii Kouga!" Kagome bowed up and down, a huge sweat drop forming on her forehead.

"What happened! I thought I was going to pick you up and we were gonna go get you some new clothes for school. I was outside locking up the car and I heard a scream and then a loud crash..."

Kagome suddenly remembered why she had fainted..."Oh Kouga...Kouga...I am so sorry for worrying you..." She felt sad suddenly, because she didn't want to tell her best friend the bad news about the school.

"Well, what is it!"

"There's...something I just found out...about Shikon..."

"Well tell me! Is it haunted or something?" He said jokingly.

"No...it's...in America..." she whispered, closing her eyes.

"You're...kidding right?" He said. His voice had taken on a hint of panic.

"No...I'm not..." Though I wish I were.

"YOU'RE GOING WHERE?"

Out of nowhere, Kagome's grandfather had appeared, who absoultely hated anything to do with America.

This would be an interesting afternoon, thought Kagome, her head drooping as her Grandfather began to lecture her. Kouga and Kagome were still sitting on the kitchen floor when her mother came home.

A/N: Okay, so I left you with a cliffy. Perhaps this will encourage readers to become hooked on my story and review more? I got really inspired, as you can tell my this three page long montage. By the way, this is a Kagome/Inuyasha fan fiction, I just haven't brought him into the story yet…Hmm…I'll give you a chocolate chip cookie if you review! Please? For my sanity sake? Love you all, thanks for reading!
