Chapter 8/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's been a two years now. Kagome and Inuyasha, still a couple as they always were. Inuyasha graduated the year before, and Kagome finally graduated this year, this very day. They were finally ready to spend their lives together. Inuyasha and Koga were still in contact, and Inuyasha discovered that Koga, that little Kagome lover, finally got an actual girlfriend. He finally got over the fact that he couldn't have Kagome, and now, him and his grlfriend Ayame are happily living together.
Inuyasha was at Kagome graduation, and he was there to watch Kagome receive an honoured award.
"And more the most valuable member of our school, we present our award to.. KAGOME HIGURASHI."
Inuyasha stood up and clapped for Kagome, whooting for her, as she blew kisses to him.
After the graduation, at the graduation party, Inuyasha met up with Kagome.
"Kagome !"
He shouted.
Kagome waved at Inuyasha and gave him a kiss.
Inuyasha smiled at Kagome,
"Kagome.. I'm ready to take our relationship to the next level.. We should go steady."
Kagome laughed,
"We're already going steady, aren't we ?"
Inuyasha smiled sweetly,
"No, I mean.. steady, steady. Joined."
Inuyasha pulled out a ring from his back pocket, and kneeled down.
Kagome gasped in surprisement as she blushed red.
Inuyasha began to speak, with the sweetest, softest voice ever.
"Kagome, will you marry me ?"
Kagome smiled, the biggest, brightest smiled, and screamed,
"Yes ! YES !"
Kagome jumped onto Inuyasha, who hugged her.
Kagome began to cry tears of joy.
Inuyasha smiled.
We can finally be together.. forever.
------------------------------------
After the long graduation party, Inuyasha took Kagome back to his house. It was dark outside, and after 10 pm.
"This is my home, Kagome."
Kagome gasped.
"It's so big ! Where are your parents ?"
Inuyasha smiled, yet with a slight frown,
"They don't live with me. Dad's the president for USA, mom's an intern worker. They never get to come home."
Kagome frowned,
"That's.. so sad.."
Inuyasha smiled,
"Don't worry about it. My care/house taker is the best I could ever have hoped for."
Inuyasha took Kagome up stairs into his room, and Kagome sat down on Inuyasha's bed, as Inuyasha sat down too.
Kagome let out a big breath,
"Inuyasha.. I'm ready."
Inuyasha was puzzled,
"Ready ?"
Kagome nodded,
"I'm ready.. to.. share or love.. physically."
Inuyasha gasped as he smiled with the biggest smile,
"I'd never.. thought you'd say those words to me."
Kagome shook her head,
"Well, I'm ready now. Now that we've graduated, I can finally have a life of my own."
Inuyasha smiled as he turned off the light in the room, letting in only the light of full moon outside.
Kagome took off Inuyasha's shirt, as Inuyasha took off her dress. They lay on the bed, kissing eachother. Inuyasha was on Inuyasha, kissing up Kagome neck, and then to her lips. He bit her lips lightly, and licked her cheek. Suddenly Kagome noticed something.
"Inuyasha.. Your hair.. your claws.. your fangs."
Inuyasha looked at himself, as he looked outside.
"It's the full moon."
Kagome sat up, her body naked.
"So .. ?"
Inuyasha smiled,
"I'm human, for the day."
Kagome gasped as she smiled at Inuyasha,
"But.. I like you just the way you are."
Inuyasha sighed,
"But this way, you won't have to go telling everyone you did it to a half-demon."
Inuyasha winked at Kagome as he put his finger of his mouth.
------------------
After the passionate moment, Kagome stayed at Inuyasha's house, and they slept together, naked, and truly in love.
The next morning, after Kagome left, Inuyasha received a phone call.
"Hello ?" Inuyasha said as he picked up the phone.
"Is this Mr. Inuyasha speaking ?" the person on the phone asked.
"Yes.." Inuyasha replied as the man on the phone sighed sadly.
"What is it ?" Inuyasha questioned.
The man on the other line let out a deep breath, and began to speak, "Inuyasha, your parents.. on their way to their business trip on the plane.. the plane crashed.. there were.. no survivors."
Inuyasha gasped as he dropped the phone.
"Hello ?" the man on the phone asked.
Inuyasha picked up the phone, shivering, tears in his eyes. "Where are they now !"
The man replied, "In Washington, at the Civic Hospital on Mountly Drive."
-------------------
Inuyasha hung up the phone, and began to cry as he quickly ran out the door.
He picked up his cellphone and dialed Kagome's phone number and it led him to the answering machine.
"This is the Higurashi residence, do what you need to do, after the beep !"
"Kagome it's Inuyasha. I'm going to be gone for a while, I'll be home soon. Love Inu."
Inuyasha took off for the airport, and then, he was gone.
