(A/N: Sorry you guys for taking s long! I apologize!)

Before Your Love

Chapter 8

Kikyou was having a terrible life. Making Kagome's life terrible do not feel good as it should be. She had heard that Kagome was in the hospital and intend to visit her. My life in America wasn't good as I imagined before I went there. My life without my best friends were terrible: Noone to talk to about innocent matters. All things involved physical attraction in my school, that was I changed my appearance. What have I've done to Kagome's life? My best friend's life? I'm such a horrible friend! I'm going to apologize to her right now!

She went to the hospital with her innocent looks: ponytail, pink sweater, a centimeter flat sandals and all. When she got there, everybody, as in everybody including Sesshoumaru stood there staring at her, shocked. They stared at her like they saw a ghost. But they got over it and everybody then glared at her.

"Everybody, I'm so sorry," Kikyou said, I've cone to apologize," Then everybody averted their eyes from her. This hurt Kikyou but stood there, putting up a strong front.

"How dare you!" Sango yelled at her, trying to get to her, but Miroku her her back, his arms around her waist and Sango against him.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do it! Doing it doesn't feel good at all," Kikyou paused, "it feels like hell.

"Well you should have thought of that before you did it!" Sango shouted at her.

Kikyou didn't normally cried in front of a lot of people, but she did, and while doing so, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" over and over again. Mrs. Higurashi came over and wrapped her arms around Kikyou, comforted her. It's clear where Kagome got her generosity.

Miroku and Sango were whispering something to each other that involved Kikyou and a certain someone that is going to be introduced later on.

That's the point where the doctor came in saying that Kagome is up and she want to see them all.

"Hey everyone!" Came her cheery voice but questioning, "Where's my boyfriend, Kouga?"

Sesshoumaru's face was filled with disgust and secretly wondering why did she remember her life before. Then here's the unexpected, "You don't need him!" He yelled and everybody stood shocked but recovered when he was about to slam the door.

"Sesshoumaru!" Kagome yelled after him but the door was already close followed by heartbreakin g sobs. Everybody came closer to comfort her saying that he'll be back but they all knew that, that's not going to happen but it's good to hope.

"I'm really sorry! This is all my fault," Kikyou cried. Kikyou was quickly forgotten after that incident.

Sesshoumaru's right here! How could she just ignore me like that! The first thing she'd said was that moron's title to her but I'm not going to blame her if she still love that mutt. She's the first person to reject me. Almost girls in that goddamn school threw themselves at me but noone's good enough and I like those girls that are hard to get just like...Kagome. Kagome how could you betray me? Just the look on Kouga, he instantly knew that he loves Kagome. How did I missed this? How could I be so blind?

Sesshoumaru...I love you but I can't face you right now. I'm really sorry but how could you just assume that I'll go to you just a snap of your fingers. You're making me so small Sesshoumaru.

In that week nothing much happened. Kagome came back to school but she's wondering why her boyfriend wasn't there and didn't come visited her at the hospital.

Kagome saw Kouga down the hallway and ran to him throwing her arms around his neck and gave him a peck on the lips. Kouga willingly put his arms around her.

"Where were you?"

"I...thought..." Kouga was speechless but his heart doing lots of somersaults.

"Don't you walk away from me!"

"I thought that you won't remember me."

"Why would I? I love you!" Now, that wasn't exactly a lie but...

"I love you, too! But we better get to class before we..." The bell rang and they ran to their classes. Kagome took a breathe knowing that Sesshoumaru and her have the same schedules and secretly wished that he's not going to be there. But she knew that, that was not going to happen. Sesshoumaru wasn't there that day and Kagome couldn't feel but feel a little sad, and wondered why he wasn't there. Then, the next next few days passed, he still wasn't there. She tried calling him, but noone's home. What could have possively happened? Was it my fault? Why didn't he called me or tried? Did they moved? Is he still mad at me?

The rest of the school year had gone passed and Sesshoumaru was never heard of again. Kagome and Kouga, Miroku and Sango were still on and grew closer over the years. Kagome who kept on waiting for Sesshoumaru hadn't gave up yet, but refused to show Kouga that because of his possessiveness.

One day came, they've got an invitation for a high school reunion from Sesshoumaru? He's back? God, Sesshoumaru, where have you been? Did I hurt you that much?

Kagome phoned Sango because of her excitement to go to the reunion.

"Hi, Sango!" Kagome squealed.

"Hi Kagome! What's up?"

"Did you get an invitation?"

"Yeah! What are you going to wear?"

"Oh! You just have to wait!" Kagome laughed, "how about you?"

Sango knew that Kagome wasn't excited to see some old friends but the host of the reunion. Sango knew that her best friend have deep feelings for him and she also knew that her best friend waited for him. She just couldn't understand why she kept Kouga with her.

"You just have to wait, too?" And they both laughed.

"So you're excited to see the host, huh? I wonder how Kouga would react to this information I just got, Kagome!"

"Sango! I'm excited to see him of course but I love him...as a friend!"

"Right! Well got to run! See ya!"

"See ya!"
