Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha or anyone else in this story, unless I make up someone… probably not. Lolx.

Ch.4: Goodbye Inuyasha And Hello Hojo

With that, Kagome left and Hojo walked out the front door with her. I was left broken hearted and unable to comprehend what had just happened. I just stood there, not thinking about moving, not wanting to move. My body was numb.

Down the Street (Kagome's POV)

I felt kinda bad what had happened. I left Inuyasha there broken hearted but he did the same to me. Hojo walked beside me on the sidewalk. I looked at the boy beside me. Wow, I have someone who loves me and only me… why am I not happy.

Hojo stopped and looked at me. He smiled sweetly. More sweetly than Inuyasha ever had. Why does everything remind me of him? I am supposed to forget. I want to forget but I guess you cannot forget about something that meant so much to you. (A/N: I know how she feels.) "Hojo, I'll see you later. Okay? I have to go get ready for tonight, and I have homework. Can you pick me up?" I said lovingly.

"Sure, how is 7:00?" He said back. I nodded, kissed him on the cheek, and walked back toward my house. So many things had changed these last couple days. I am finally going to go out with Hojo. Well, actually make it. Inuyasha loves me, I don't love him anymore, and he is in my time. How did this all happen so quickly?

Back at Kagome's House (Inuyasha's POV)

I had just watched the woman I love walk out the door with another man…it hurt. Kikyou had never made me feel this way. I know I loved but did I really love her? I was so confused.

I looked over at Kagome's mother. She looked at me with sympathetic eyes. At least someone knew I hurt. Kagome had broken my heart as I did hers. I deserved what happened, if not worse.

I said my goodbyes to Kagome's family and left. As I walked out the door I ran into Kagome. She seemed happy, so I guess I was happy too, for her. I said I was going back to the feudal era. "You don't have to back if you don't want to, but I'll miss you a lot…" "Don't worry Inuyasha. I'll be there soon. I would never leave you." She said smiling and hugged me tight. I didn't know what to do. I hugged her back and I left, through the well to my own time. I felt so alone…

Kagome's POV

As I watched Inuyasha leave, I wasn't sure if I could ever face him again. I mean, the look on his face. He was so upset. But, there was nothing I could do. What's done is done.

I walked over to my mom and hugged her. She seemed a bit disappointed that I didn't want to stay with Inuyasha, but it is my choice. I choose Hojo. I walked up to my room and sat at my desk. I signed and began my homework, but all I could think about was Inuyasha. "Stop thinking about him Kagome! You need to forget! Forget!" I said to myself and began to pound the brain cells out of my head.

6:15 P.M

I finished my homework, still thinking about Inuyasha. Then I remembered, my date with Hojo. I totally had forgotten. I put my work in my bag and went to my closet. I didn't want it to be too formal… it was only our first date. I went thought all of my clothes, trying on everything.

I finally found what I wanted to wear. It was a white cotton skirt with little ruffles on the bottom, a purple tank top with white roses on it, and a white sweater. I was satisfied. By the time I finished my makeup and my hair, it was already 7:00. Hojo should be hear any minute.

I got my purple coach purse and walked down the stairs. My mother was in the kitchen cooking dinner. She turned when she heard my footsteps and her eyes lit up. "You look beautiful Kagome-san. You must really like this Hojo." She said. "Yeah I do…" I said back to her smiling. She hugged me and just then, the doorbell rung. I knew it was Hojo. I told my mom to answer it.

She walked to the door and opened it with arms wide open. "Hello Hojo-Chan. Come in. Kagome is waiting in the kitchen. My heart started to beat as I saw him walk into the kitchen. He looked at me in awe and said, "Kagome… yo-you look beautiful." I blushed and thanked him for his compliment. We said goodbye to my mother and walked out the door, my arm in his. It seemed perfect.
