Hey everyone fourth chapter comin at ya. Oh yeah remember when I put that Inuyasha was 23 well image that he's 20 ok. He is no longer 23 he is 20 ok. Ok just want to make that clear. Ok enjoy the fourth chappy and I'm sorry it took so long to update.

"So where do you want to go Kagome?" Ayame asked again.

"Um… I guess we can go shopping…" Kagome suggested

"Well shopping it is. How about at The Tokyo Pop Mall." Said Sango. (Yeah I know it's lame but hey it's better then what my brother suggested)

"Onward to the mall." Said Ayame. They all laughed. Sango started to drive. While they were driving Kagome couldn't help but think about Sesshomaru. Ayame was talking about something but Kagome wasn't listening she tuned her out. She tuned everything out and focused her thoughts on if she'll ever see Sesshomaru again. She was wondering if he even remembers her or if he has another best friend. At that moment she felt jealous rise through her whole body. But she shook off the feeling. This is nuts… I can't just spend my whole life thinking about an old friend……… but he wasn't just an old friend… he was Sesshomaru the one that whenever I was in trouble he would help, Whenever I was sad he was there to comfort me, whenever I needed him the most… he would always be right next to me… but not anymore… why did he have to leave?

-Flashback-

"Hey Sesshomaru what do you want to do today?" The 18-year-old Kagome said with a heart-warming smile. The 20-year-old Sesshomaru walked up really close to Kagome closer then personal comfort. "Uh…Sesshomaru?" He's eyes were filled with sadness and gloom and Kagome noticed. She didn't like one bit of it. "Sesshomaru what's wrong?" she said worrying.

"Kagome" His voice was creaking and it was so unsteady. His voice was dry. She could feel his hot breath on her neck that's how close they were. "I'm…moving…to America" Right when he said that it was like Kagome's heart had dropped. It was like the whole world was upside down. Kagome's throat was so dry she couldn't even speak. She couldn't even find words to say. She felt so much grief over her. She looked in Sesshomaru's eyes and she could tell that he was just as sad as she was. "Kagome…" She was so trying not to cry but it was so hard. "I don't want to move… but… my job… their moving my position…I said that I wanted to quit…I said that I was going to quit But the contract I signed… they wouldn't let me Kagome I'm so sorry…" She was overwhelmed but sadness at this point. But she swallowed hard and finally could talk.

"Sesshomaru…" She couldn't hold the tears anymore. She flew herself into Sesshomaru's arms crying. "I don't want you to go please don't leave." He held her so tightly like if he would dare to let go she would disappear. Kagome looked up at him. She saw a tear go down Sesshomaru's cheeks. "Sesshomaru I…" Sesshomaru cut her off when he put his finger on her lips.

"Kagome…I wish that the world would just stop right here right now at this very moment…I wish we could stay like this…forever." He held her so close that Kagome could even feel his heart beat. She felt the exact same way. The more she thought about him being so far away the more she continued to cry. "Sesshomaru please don't leave me." She managed to say through the tears "I need you with me Sesshomaru…I need to you right here not in another country…"Sesshomaru wished that it was that easy just to quit his job. He wishes he could quit his job. But he can't. He didn't know what to do.

"I don't want to either Kagome…I don't want to leave you…I want to be here…I want to always be by your side…I would give anything for that Kagome…but I can't…I'm sorry." He then pulled away a little to see her face. All he saw was pure sadness. He hated it when she was sad and most of all… he hated it that she was sad because of him. She looked into Sesshomaru's eyes.

"Sesshomaru please… don't forget me." she pleased. He looked at her with a small but sad smile.

"Kagome…your going to be the one I think about every single day, your going to be the one that I dream about and the one I think about right when I wake up. I'll never ever forget about you Kagome. I promise even if I tried I could never. You're going to be glued in my mind every day."

"Sesshomaru…I just can't believe your going away…" she said claming down just a little bit.

"I'm sorry Kagome…but I promise that I'll write and call you every day. Okay?" She slowly nodded. He then held her tightly. "I'm so sorry Kagome…I don't mean to leave you alone…" he whispered. "But remember the necklace I gave you?" She nodded yet again and took it out from her shirt. He smiled.

"I never go anywhere without it…" she returned the smile.

"Do you remember what I told you?" he asked. She nodded and gently smiled. "Well as long as you have that…we'll never be apart in spirit… I'll always be with you Kagome… even when you don't know it…" She smiled and hugs Sesshomaru again.

-End of Flashback-

Kagome was still sad about that but she had hope that Sesshomaru might not have forgotten about her. She felt tears trying to escape her eyes but she didn't let them out this time. She was there to have fun and forget about her worries so that's what she's going to try to do. (Keyword in there people TRYS to forget about her worries)

"Don't you agree Kagome?" Ayame asked Kagome. Kagome snapped out of "la la land"

"Huh?" Kagome asked trying to figure out what they were talking about.

"Don't you think that Koga is cute?" she asked again.

"Uh…no not really. I mean he's ok but not really my type…he acts like everything he wants is automatically his. And he always acts like such a tough guy. No I defiantly don't like Koga in that kinda way." she said trying not to sound too picky. Sango glanced at Kagome for a second at a red light.

"That's too bad Kagome… Koga has a really big crush on you." Kagome and Ayame's mouth dropped at the same time.

"Sango are you sure?" Ayame said almost yelling. The red light turned green and they started to drive again.

"Yeah of course can't you tell by the way he looks at her?" she said like she knew this for a while now.

"Yeah I think you just got the wrong idea Sango. He doesn't like me." Kagome said as sure as she could be. Better not… Ayame thought to herself in anger.

"Think what you want…" said Sango.

"But if you don't like Koga who DO you like?" Ayame asked Kagome.

"Uh…I don't really know…" Kagome said trying to think of someone that she likes. I know very good and well I don't like Koga…and Miroku is just a pervert and not to mention Sango probably likes him…and Inuyasha is out of the question… then… who do I like…

"I bet its Inuyasha isn't it?" said Ayame. Kagome was really surprised that she thought THAT. "We all know that you don't like Miroku and you just told us that you don't like Koga so that only leads to Inuyasha…" Ayame explained.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?" Kagome yelled. "Out of all the people you would name you have to name that jackass! Of course its not Inuyasha!" Duh Ayame… Sango thought to herself. I really know that she's gone off Sesshomaru… Sango smirked. Kagome just doesn't know yet…

They finally got to the mall. When they were in the mall they shopped around for a little while. They were having a great time but when Kagome was looking around for clothes she saw a man. Eyeing her up and down it frightened her. He looked older to her like he was like in his mid or maybe late 20s. He had long wavy dark brown hair and really cold brown eyes but those cold eyes only read one emotion…lust. And then for the rest of time shopping she would see him. Following her. She looked from time to time and tried to shake off the feeling. But it wouldn't go away. She didn't tell Sango and Ayame cause they were doing this shopping and going out thing just for her. She didn't want to ruin it just because she THINKS a man is stalking her. When she turned around there he was standing there his cold eyes met with Kagome's as chills went down through their spines her chill was a chill of dreadfulness and his was a chill of lust. She quickly turned away wanting to forget his face when she turned around again he was gone. She looked around and he was nowhere in sight. She took a huge sighed in relief.

"Hey Kagome what are you doing?" Sango asked in concern.

"Oh nothing… come on I see a skirt with my name on it." Kagome said with a grin. Sango smiled back and they all started to go shopping again. Kagome, Sango and Ayame went to the dress section and saw like the most gorgeous dress and it matched Kagome's necklace and there was only one more dress left and its Kagome's size. Man what luck. It was a sliver long dress. No sleeves and it was a strapless just about to the collarbone and at the bottom right were some really beautiful blue flowers (roses) with glitter on the petals. It was the most beautiful dress that Kagome has ever seen. She looked at the price and it was… $189.99! She flopped her head down in disappointment. Sango got the dress off the rack.

"Kagome you know I bet this would look good on you," she said eyeing the dress up and down and front and back. "Go ahead take it I'll buy it for you." Sango said like there wasn't a care in the world. Kagome was so excited yet really confused.

"Sango do you know how much money that cost?" yelled Ayame.

"Yeah but it doesn't really matter if you have this…" she got her purse and pulled a credit card.

"Yeah so what a credit card we all have one but that still means you can't pay for that," said Ayame.

"Maybe if you'll actually read it you'll find out…" Kagome and Ayame read the card and it said… MIROKU'S NAME?

"Huh? Why do you have Miroku's credit card?" Kagome asked. Sango laughed a little.

"This is pay back for all the perverted things he said and done to me. Did you think I was paying for all those clothes?"

"So you stole Miroku's credit card?" asked Ayame

"Yepe." She said with a smile.

"You are a genius!" Ayame and Kagome said at the same time.

"Well we better go and spend Miroku's money." Ayame said with a laugh.

FF

It's 10:18 pm they had to go cause on Fridays the mall closes at 10:30. Kagome was so glad she didn't see that strange man anymore. They checked out a ton of clothes that was bound to leave Miroku broke afterwards. "Hey Sango when are you planning to give Miroku back that credit card?" Kagome asked.

"Um…maybe tomorrow… I'll just say that you left it when you were talking to me and I happened to see it."

"And when he finds out…"

"I'll be laughing my ass off." She said laughing. They laughed. They then left the store and got in the car with the ton of clothes in the trunk. Sango started to drive. "So Ayame we're dropping you off next ok?"

"Sure." She replied

"And Kagome after we drop off Ayame how about we get something to eat." Sango suggested.

"Yeah that will be great I'm starving." Kagome agreed. They got to Ayame's house.

"Thanks you guys for the girls day out." Ayame said getting out of the car and getting her new clothes.

"Hey I'm the one who should be thanking you." Kagome replied

"Bye Kagome. Bye Sango." Ayame said trying to carry about sixteen full bags of clothes.

"See ya!" Said Sango driving off. "So Kagome where do you want to go to eat?" Sango asked.

"Well…I really wanted to go to that new restaurant what is it called again?" Kagome said trying to think. "Man, I don't know why I can't remember I saw it on a lot of commercials. It's a really fancy place and it has like the best food in Tokyo or at least that's what everyone says." She said with her mouth watering.

"You mean the Takahashi Raymino place?"

"Yeah lets go there." Kagome said with a smile.

"Good idea." They drove for a while until they got to a big fancy looking building that had a sign that said "Takahashi Raymino The Best Food In Tokyo."

"Wow that's a really big building." They went into the restaurant. It was so pretty inside. Full of decoration no wall of was left with an empty space. It either had pictures, artwork, pretty much anything that can go on walls. They looked around the huge room. Nearly about 100 people were in there with suits and dresses. They looked like they were going to church or something like that. Sango and Kagome looked down at themselves. Sango had on some short shorts and a pink t-shirt and Kagome had on that same blue belly shirt and the same leather white mini skirt. Not the best dress people in the building. They both then smelled the fresh food going up their noises it made Kagome's stomach growl. A waitress walked up to them.

"Hello welcome to Takahashi Raymino where we sale the best food." She said a little too over cheerful.

Sango and Kagome did a sweat drop. Talk about over cheerful… Sango thought to herself. Man did she rehearse saying that… Kagome thought to herself.

"Hi may we have a table for two please?" Sango asked.

"Um…excuse me do you two have a card?" the waitress asked.

"Uh. A card?" questioned Kagome.

"Why would we need a card?" asked Sango.

"Well…one of you has to have a card to eat here," she explained.

"Huh?"

"You mean we need a card to eat!" Sango asked thinking this was just a joke.

"I'm afraid so. I'm sorry but if you don't have card I'll have to ask you to leave." Kagome and Sango's mouth dropped. They couldn't believe that they didn't get to eat there. They walked out of the restaurant to with empty stomachs.

"What kind of place was that?" Sango said angrily.

"I know. You need a card to eat?" Kagome sighed in disappointment. Sango didn't want this to ruin the day.

"Well…" Sango said smiling "There's always TV dinners."

"Yeah I guess." Kagome said still a little down. She really wanted to eat there.

"But hey most of the people there wore all those fancy clothes. We didn't really fit in there anyways. Besides once we get a card we can eat there everyday if we want to." Sango said trying to cheer Kagome up.

"Yeah your right. We just have to wait until we can get cards.

Kagome said with a smile. They got into the car and drove to

Sango's place. She had a house because when her parents passed away they left her the house in their will. It's a really big house too. A lot better then Kagome's little apartment. When they got there they unloaded all of the clothes, which took about 45 minutes. They when into the house and put away all of Sango's clothes. It was about 11:45 pm and Kagome still didn't have anything to eat yet.

"Hey Kagome do you want some ramen?" Sango asked.

"No I think I had enough ramen with Inuyasha around." She replied.

"Well how about some thing old fashion…"

"Like what?" asked Kagome.

"Mac & Cheese!" she said with a smile.

"That would be so awesome right now." Kagome said with an I can't wait to eat that kinda look.

"Well I'll fix it and you can get a DVD started or something…" Sango suggested.

"Okay." Said Kagome as she when into the entertainment room. She looked at the many DVDs in the cabinet next to the big screen TV. Kagome came to her house many times so she knew where everything was. She was in the mood for a romantic story so she decided to pick the movie Stop Playing with my Heart It was about a girl who was in love with this guy and they were really good friends as children but he moved away and when he came back he forgotten all about her and who she was.

"Hey Sango do want to watch Stop Playing with my Heart?" Kagome called turning on the TV.

"Yeah sure what ever you want to watch is ok with me," she said.

"Okay." Kagome said as she put it in and the DVD player quickly loaded. Sango was done with the Mac and Cheese by now. She fixed up Kagome a huge bowl first and then fixed herself some. Sango looked at the clock and saw it was 11:59.

"Hey Kagome a few more seconds and your big day is here…" said Sango as she came into the entertainment room with the two bowls full of Mac and Cheese.

"Really?" she said as she looked at the clock and grabbed the bowl of Mac. "Wow the day went by fast," said Kagome as she picked up the fork and picked some of the Mac and cheese up and put it into her mouth. "I can't believe I'll finally be 20." She looked at the clock again and right then it turned 12:00.

"Hey your 20 now Kagome. Happy Birthday!" Sango said with a friendly hug. Kagome was so surprised that she was finally 20 years old. She's officially out of her teen years.

"I'm as old as most of my friends now," she said with a mixture of happiness and dread. Sango noticed.

"Hey what's wrong Kagome?" Sango asked.

"I…" Kagome didn't even really now herself. She couldn't wait to turn 20 when she was 19 and now when she did she's kinda sad about it for some reason. "I don't really know myself Sango. I mean I really wanted to be 20 but…I don't know. I guess I'll just miss my teen years." Kagome said looking down trying to find out what was really her problem.

"You're 20 now Kagome. I mean sure your going to miss your teen years but everyone has to get older or else what would be the point of life? I mean sure you think that being 19 was great but being 20 is awesome. You can have more experiences, do more things that you didn't get to do, and you even get more privileges then you do before. It's great Kagome…you'll see." Sango said with a smile trying to cheer up Kagome. Kagome looked up at her and smiled to act like that was really her problem and she was better about it.

"Thanks Sango."

"No problem. So do you want to watch that movie now Kagome?"

"Sure." Kagome got the remote and hit play. The movie started.

FF

It's about 1:18 am and they are still watching the movie…Well Kagome is Sango fell asleep about 25 minutes ago. Kagome already ate all of her Mac and Cheese and didn't leave a scrap in the bowl. She was totally playing attention to the movie. It had gotten to the part where she was trying to get him to remember her. It was so sad. He had no idea who she was.

This made Kagome remind her about her and Sesshomaru. Does he remember me at all? Will he even come to my birthday? She took a deep sigh and looked down at her necklace. I hope he doesn't' forget about met… even if he doesn't come to my birthday I just hope that he remembers me. She looked at her necklace more closely. Now that she thought about it she noticed that the diamond was so thick not like any other necklaces. It was almost like there was some in the diamond it was so big and thick but it was so pretty. She shook the feeling off and continues watching the movie.

It had been about 20 minutes later and it's at the very end. Kagome was almost crying of how sad this movie was. The girl in the movie told the guy that she loved him and he said that he loves someone else and he goes back to where he moved and they never see each other again. This kinda scared Kagome about her and Sesshomaru. The movie was over and she turned off the TV. She yawned. She was so sleepy so she got up and got a pillow out of Sango's room. Sango was already asleep on the couch so she wouldn't mind. Kagome then when to the couch next to the couch Sango was sleeping in and laid down.

"Sesshomaru…" she said dreamily. She then closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. She was having a weird dream.

-Dream-

"Kagome." A familiar voice called. Kagome slowly opened her eyes. She saw two golden orbs stare back at her.

"S-Sesshomaru?" she said really surprised. She rubbed her eyes. "Is that really you?"

"Yes Kagome. I'm here with you." he said with a smile that she loved. Kagome then went to him and hugged him tightly.

"Sesshomaru I thought you would never come back…I missed you so much. Please don't leave me again Sesshomaru." She said in tears of joy. He smiled gently at her. He wiped the tears off her face and stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. His face was inches away from hers.

"Kagome there was something I wanted to tell you for a long time now…"

"What is it Sesshomaru?" she asked. He looked her in the eyes. He then cupped her chin with his hand so she can look up at him. This made Kagome's heart race. He slowly leaned in. Their lips were so close almost touching. This startled Kagome but she didn't resist. In fact she actually liked it. Her eyes closed waiting for the kiss to come. Sesshomaru also closed his eyes. As soon as it was about to happen.

-End of dream-

She woke up. "Huh?" she looked around and saw she was still in Sango's entertainment room. She sighed. "I think I'm going crazy," she said as she got up to look at the time. It was 8.39 am. She then thought about her dream. "Maybe that's a sign that he is coming today." Said as she got the biggest smile on her face. Then she thought about the kiss that didn't happen. I can't believe that Sesshomaru and I…almost kissed! That was so weird. But…what's really strange is that…I think I liked it! But… It was just a dream right? This made Kagome a little sad that she realized it was only a dream. And what was it that Sesshomaru had to say? She was in deep thought. She played the dream in her head a couple more times. "It's only a dream," she said to herself as she shook off the feeling.

"Hey Kagome." She heard a voice call. She looked at the couch and saw that Sango was now awake.

"Hey," Kagome replied with a smile.

"Sleep well?" Sango asked.

"Um…" She thought about the dream once more. Se replayed the part. "Kagome there was something I wanted to tell you for a long time now…"

"What is it Sesshomaru?" she asked. He looked her in the eyes. He then cupped her chin with his hand so she can look up at him. This made Kagome's heart race. He slowly leaned in. Their lips were so close almost touching. This startled Kagome but she didn't resist. In fact she actually liked it. Her eyes closed waiting for the kiss to come. Sesshomaru also closed his eyes. As soon as it was about to happen.

"I slept better then usual." Said Kagome. Sango smiled.

"Glad to hear it." Sango said getting up from the couch. "You want any breakfast Birthday girl?" Sango asked. For the truth she forgot that it was her birthday because she was too busy thinking about that dream.

"Umm…that's ok I think that Mac & Cheese got to me." Sango laughed a little.

"Ok birthday girl anyways if you eat too much you won't have any room for your suppose to be surprise huge birthday cake." Said Sango.

"Hey I'm getting a birthday cake!" she yelled happily.

"Hey your lucky we're not in your apartment or else the neighbors would have a cow." Kagome smiled "Well I guess you can make yourself at home for a little while until your party… Oh yeah you better not give yourself away Kagome. You better not let ANYONE know that you know about the party." Sango said with a bit of hiss that sounded treating."

"Fine, I promise." Kagome said with her fingers this time uncrossed.

"Good." Said Sango as they both heard a loud, strange roar. Sango blushed.

"What was that?" Kagome asked unaware of what it was.

"Um…I think I have to have something to eat…that was my stomach." She said in embarrassment. Kagome just looked at her and was trying so hard not to laugh but it was so hard. She then busted out laughing.

"Kagome that's not funny!" Sango yelled. Kagome didn't hear her because she was way to busy laughing. She even fell on the couch. She even started crying she was laughing so hard. She finally clamed down and stopped laughing. "Are you done now?" Sango asked in annoyance.

"Yes." Kagome said keeping the rest of the laughter inside. "Hey Sango what time is the party anyways?" Kagome asked.

"At 10:00 so you don't have that much longer to wait." Said Sango. Kagome looked at the time and it was 9:16. Kagome sighed knowing that it would feel like a long time.
