Chapter 8

Inuyasha's POV

School had finally ended! I was free for the summer, no more hassle of ramming answers into stupid Science quizzes all night and then ending up failing the test anyway. Also, no more friend problems, though I did hear that middle school drama is worse! I'm not really excited about that!

The first thing I heard that morning was a loud ring, buzzing through my large ears. It made me jump out of the bed and glare at the morning sun. Only one reason why I hated the summer, the sun always seemed to be there in the morning, obnoxiously to wake you up the fullest.

Eventually, I put some clothes on and head down the stairs, noticing no one had answered the door and I felt I might as well…

"Coming!" I shouted to the figure, standing outside my front door as I hurried myself over there. I didn't bother to look through the spyglass that was built into the door as I swung it open and I didn't meet contact with the person who was standing before me since the sun was blinding… And yes, that is my excuse!

"Camuri," A light voice echoed through my eardrums and snapped me on, me jolting my head up to see the visitor.

"Kouga…"

I was shocked. She was standing in front of my eyes just smiling peacefully and so perfect. Why was she here? What did she want?

"I can't stay long." Kouga said, hiding her face with her bangs, probably blushing. "My brothers and I got adopted just recently. We're moving and I still have to pack! My new mother is waiting for me… I asked her if maybe I could say goodbye to my good friend before we left."

My eyes widened with slow moving tear swelling up inside of them. I held them back tightly as I stood there, embarrassing myself…

I told myself that I wouldn't see her again but just seeing the angel face of hers changes everything I've said. Now that I am in contact with her, I can't make up my mind. I'm blank. I'm a liquid. Not exactly solid, nor gas. I didn't know!

"Can you come in?" I dared to ask as I stepped aside the doorway, leading a path for her to go into.

I spotted a quite excited wolf-demon as she nodded confidently and rushed inside. I shut the door and forced a smile at her, clearing my throat slightly, opening my mouth to speak…

"I'm sor---"

"Wow!" She exclaimed as she looked around in amazement. "I've never really been inside your house before! It's beautiful!"

I blinked at her and lifted a confused eyebrow after she looked up and giggled loudly.

It was silent for maybe a few seconds before Kouga smiled respectively at me. "Don't worry about it, Camuri. We've made a promise together that we would be friends forever. And we are keeping that promise always! No matter how hard it is, alright?"

Wow, she was demanding when she was serious! I nodded quickly in agreement, her smiling again, sticking out her thumbs up, winking at me. It was hard not to laugh so I did the same.

A honk of a car horn made both of us flinch slightly and we knew right then that it was Kouga's 'mother'. I frowned slightly when Kouga began to head out the door but then she stopped, handing me something.

"What is this?" I asked, too stupid to look at the slip of paper and read it for myself.

"It's where I'm going to live. Followed by my phone number, too. Make sure you call me sometime, okay?" I nodded and she reached out, giving me a small hug, "Bye, Camuri."

"Bye Kouga." I responded back to her in a whisper as she headed out the door, shutting it after her. I peaked out the window after she had left my house and watched her drive away in the black sports car she arrived in. I was smiling, I realized as I watched and blushed slightly when I did. I eventually scurried away from the window and plopped myself down on the couch, reading the card she gave me.

Well, since we are going to separate schools, maybe it won't be that difficult to keep our friendship. We could just call each other every once in awhile just to keep up on date and just to hear one another's voice for once.

My confidence rose up and I mentally clapped with joy. Everything is beginning to turn around like it was before… Maybe even better than before! I was excited and I jumped up from the cushion and ran myself up the stairs and back into my room where I purposely tripped onto my bed, burying my head deep in my pillow. I held the paper in my palm, tight, laughing and smiling happily. I would have never guessed that everything was going to turn out so well and make everything right again. Now I just can't wait until the surprises really start to get going in middle school!

Author's Note:

Sorry, my fans, that it took extremely long for the 8th chapter to get posted on. It was all confusing at my house for the passed couple of months and everything has been twisted up and turned upside down and didn't really come out that pretty looking either… -shivers-. Anyway, I am also sorry that this one wasn't as long as I, and probably everyone else, was hoping for. I actually had the whole chapter written into a notebook, but lost that at a buddy's house. Then I started to re-write it onto my old computer but I moved and that PC happened to get swiped off completely so I lost that! And now, I finished and successfully posted it up! YAY! Well, I love you all my lil' friend's and I hope you loved this chapter. The story isn't quite finished yet but may soon be…

OH! P.S. – Lmao, I actually think it is pretty funny when people question about the sex of Kouga. Well, it does say YAOI in the summary, doesn't it? Hehe, well I hope you make a mental note about that… After all I may just be pulling your leg and twisting up the story for ya! See you in the next chappy!
