"Sango, I can't believe this is happening. I got accepted to a University," Kagome tried to sound happy. She really tried. Sure, she always wanted to go to a good college. And in America, Penn State University was supposed to be a very nice place to go. But she had to leave her friends. She had to leave the people that were like family to her. How would she survive?

"I am happy Kagome. But I shall miss you greatly. These past few years were the most happy in my entire lifetime. You are like a sister to me. Must you leave so soon?"

"I'll be back Sango. Besides, I'll see you in a few months," Kagome said, trying to reassure her.

Sango smiled. "You better." Kagome smiled back at her. The washed until Sango looked up with a confused look. "What about Inuyasha?"

Kagome had begun dressing and stopped to look at her friend. Despair filled her eyes. "I don't know," she whispered and pulled her shirt on. Tears formed and she latched onto her friend after she dressed. "I love him so much, yet he hasn't said a bit of protest since he found out at my house! I wonder if he even cares," she sobbed.

"I'm sure he does but you know him Kagome. He doesn't show his emotions well. He may seem cold but he's probably feeling a little broken right now."

"I'm telling you monk, I do not love the wench!" Inuyasha said for about the fifth time. He was starting to get annoyed.

"Oh come on Inuyasha! It's time to swallow your pride and admit it. You love her and I know she loves you! We all do! Your just being to thick headed. It's time to tell her. Besides, you heard what she said. What if we lose her to someone in her era? What if she goes off the this…'college' and finds a man who tells her he loves her! How will you feel then? Inuyasha, you must-,"

"I'm not worthy of her Danm you! There, are you happy now?" The monk's eyes grew wide. Inuyasha turned around and faced away from the houshi. That is, until he got smacked in the back of the head by the same houshi's staff. (A/N: Not that staff. Perverts.)

"What the hell was that for!" Inuyasha shouted.

"Calm yourself! Okay, now, what do you mean by you not being worthy of her?"

"Are you blind? I'm a hanyou. It's strange enough that I lived past pup-hood, let alone I would take a mate! I am just a half-breed; tainted blood. It would be shameful for her to be my mate."

"Inuyasha, you know that Kagome does not think that way. She treats you as her equal. She has the same amount of respect for you as she does Sango or I. On top of that she loves you."

"Yeah, right."

"Look Inuyasha, I'm not asking you to do anything terrible. Just tell Lady Kagome you love her. Tell her that you want her to stay."

"Fine. Just…leave me alone."

"Fine." Miroku stood and walked back toward the village. But not before turning around and yelling, "Tell her Inuyasha!"

"Keh."
