They may come weekly or even daily, it just depends on my inspirations and moods. Thank you for you reviews!!!
Review responses:
Inuyasha19912: Thank you so much for your review!! I love getting your questions because they make me think about the storyline and plot. Well, Inuyasha didn't tell his father that he was his son because… well…. because he thought it was better to keep it a secret. Think about it, if he were to tell his father, he would kind of ruin Kouga's family. I hope that that answered your question! Thanks again for your review!!
Jurneyo: Thanks for your two reviews!! Lol, I can kind of tell that you can't spell, but don't worry, I'm not that great at spelling either!! Here's your update, sorry to keep you waiting!!
Addam: Thanks for the compliment!! I don't think that my story is that great, compared to other stories, but I try my best! I am sorry for keeping you waiting, school is finally over, so I think I can update weekly now! Thanks again!
Thank you for your reviews!!
Also, last chapter, I said that this chapter would be a filler chapter, but that was three weeks ago, and I changed my mind. I think this may be the most important chapter of the whole story!! Enjoy!!
Chapter 9
The snow was blowing hard in his face. Though, the destination was getting closer, the post office. Opening the large door, he quickly stepped into the warmth. His golden eyes looked for the delivery window and headed towards it.
"Hello sir, can I help you?" the clerk asked, he was clearly tired since it was the holiday rush. Inuyasha nodded.
"Yeah, I want to have this package delivered right on New Year's Eve." He gave the little wrapped package to the clerk and paid for the postage.
"Very well, sir. It will be in Ms. Higurashi's hands right on New Year's Eve."
"Thanks."
Kagome couldn't wait, tonight was the night she was supposed to meet Inuyasha in town. She quickly zipped up her coat and secured her scarf. She slipped on her comfortable running shoes and set out for the meeting place.
The crunch of snow was heard and her breath was seen as she walked to the train station. She caught the train to Cerulean Lake. It was only 11:15 p.m; she was going to be there early.
As the train slowed to a stop, she hopped off and headed towards the city part, which was a short walk away.
"But mom, why are we leaving now?" an angry Inuyasha shouted.
"Well because my agent said that we have to go to another city in order to shoot a scene." His mother calmly told him, as she was packing. "You are coming with me whether you like it or not." With that she zipped her suitcase and left the room, ending the argument.
The hanyou wearily sat on the bed depressed. On the verge of tears, he buried his head in his hands and one name slowly drifted into his mind,
"Kagome…"
She stood under the lamp post and leaned against it. Flurries of snow drifted and landed on her dark tresses. Although it was close to midnight, there was a bustle of people walking through the streets and there was even traffic. It was New Year's Eve and people were out to have fun. Sounds of laughter and the scent of food drifted into Kagome's senses. She looked at the clock tower, it was 11:55.
"Five more minutes." Kagome breathed out.
The lights of the highway passed the dark tinted windows. Inuyasha stared out, his eyes showing depression. He was traveling to a new place, and most likely he wouldn't come back for years. And yet, today was the day he was supposed to meet Kagome, and tell her something. At least he sent her a gift that she would enjoy. A sign suddenly passed his vision; you have entered the city of Cerulean Lake. The silver haired teenager's breath hitched. Here was the meeting place.
"Stop the car!" Inuyasha commanded. The brakes squealed on the blanket of snow, stopping right in front of the entrance of the city. Opening the door, Inuyasha rushed out, ignoring the shouts of his mother.
"Wait for me Kagome…"
He ran on, dodging cars and people, heading towards her.
12:20. It had been the New Year for twenty minutes and Inuyasha was late. Though, she waited, knowing that he would come. She looked into the crowds, her eyes sifting for the familiar flash of silver. She sighed, her foot tapping with the song playing in the store behind her.
