Far Away

By Baka Blue

Summary/ (back ground INFO)

Kagome and Inuyasha were best friends all though elementary school and High school, when they reached college Inuyasha started to date a girl named Kikyou (HATE HER!) and Kagome and Inuyasha slowly stopped being friends because they each had different opinions of Kikyou. Inuyasha would always say how my he loved her and how she was his soul mate and Kagome who was blinded by jealousy would always say that Kikyou was just a slut who was just looking for a good lay. And they got into a lot of fights over it and eventually stopped being friends.

Kikyou moved away two years later and Kagome and Inuyasha became friends again, slowly. And that is were our story beings… (DUN, DUN, DUN!)

Chapter numero uno (and for those of you who don't speak Spanish that mean Chapter number 1)

Kagome with half a bagel in mouth and books in one hand and in the other a Starbuck's coffee, walked… no, ran to her class afraid that she would be late, again. Lately she had been preoccupied; she always was at this time of the year. It was February, the month of Inuyasha's birthday. His birthday was tomorrow and even though they weren't friends anymore she still bought him a gift ever year. So he didn't know it was her that gave the gift to him she would put the box in his mailbox with the address of her friend Sango just incase he ever sent anything back and she always gave no name for who it was from. She always expected to get a thank you card, but never did, and she had two theories to that. One was either that he smelt her scent in the gift or he never got the gift. Then again he always like to thank the people who gave him the gift in person. Because he hated writing the little thank you note. He always told her, "That it's pointless to waste money on cards, when you can always walk up to someone and say 'Hey thanks for the gift.'"

This year she didn't know what to get him and it was bugging her, even if he didn't want to be friends with her she always looked out for him. She was the first girl… let me rephrase that, she was the first person who excepted him for the half demon he is, and she always will. In her mind he wasn't an outcast, but someone that belonged in both demon and human groups. But not everyone thought the way Kagome did and she secretly felt sorry for him. Her now ex-best friend, who would always call her every night when he was human, just to talk, and since he never slept on those night, he kept her up all night just talking. Kagome didn't mind she treasured those moments and loved to look back at them, and love to read her journal, where she wrote down ever subject they ever talked about. But those days are over now, they ended when Kikyou showed up it was like she didn't matter to Inuyasha. She was and always will be second best. When Kikyou showed up Inuyasha stopped calling her every new moon (or no moon what ever you want to call it,). Instead he called Kikyou. At school he stopped meeting her at the usually spot but instead he went over to where Kikyou ate. She took her best friend away from her and every time she and Inuyasha did get time to be alone, and were having fun. Kikyou always found out and ended it before it even started. Like I said, she stole her best friend.

Kagome sigh with relief as she made it too her class on time and took her seat in the back of the class room. She liked to sit in the back because it was quiet and because she did have to hear Kikyou or Inuyasha. Kikyou that hated name, that made Kagome want to kill something (which is very unlike Kagome because she is a very kind person.)

Kagome watched as the said couple walked through the doors, Inuyasha with his arm over Kikyou shoulder and Kikyou laughing at something Inuyasha said before turning and giving him a quick kiss. Before they took their seats, and the bell rang.

All through out Kagome didn't pay attention instead she was too busy thinking about what to get Inuyasha, she decided that she should make a shirt for him like they use to do when they were kids, after all Kagome did want to be a fashion designer, but she was afraid Inuyasha would find out it was her. Or maybe he would think that it was Kikyou who gave him the gift. With the perfect idea of a shirt in mind she decided to go a head and make the shirt. With hopes that he would wear it, and either know it is her instead of Kikyou who made the shirt or, that his "secret admirer" gave it to him. (I know you're probably all wondering if Inuyasha gives stuff to Kagome, well he doesn't. Like I said, they aren't friends anymore. Poor Kags.)

Kagome was drawing her sketch book of what the she hopped the shirt would look like, when the bell rang, looking up Kagome quickly wrote down the home work and exited the class room. Unfortunately she was right behind Inuyasha and Kikyou as every was filing out of the class room.

"Don't look now Yashie, but the friendless bitch is right behind us." Kagome heard Kikyou whisper to Inuyasha

Kagome just ignored her, and waited for them to move out of the way so she could leave the class room, but right as they were in the door way Kikyou turn around blocking Kagome's way out. "I'll meet up with you in a sec, Inu."

Inuyasha didn't even look at Kagome as he kissed Kikyou and said, "Ok, but make it quick."

Kikyou just smirked and kissed him back and the kiss that was meant to be a quick peck turned into a full make out session. Kagome shoved past Kikyou and Inuyasha making sure to push Kikyou to the ground in doing so. "Get a room whore." Kagome said and walked away.

"What was that bitch?" Kikyou asked standing up from the ground, dusting herself off.

Kagome turn to her, "You heard me sleez bag." She said with a smirk on her face, she was enjoying this more then she should… But it felt so good telling her off.

"Inuyasha are you going to let her talk to me like that?" Kikyou said running over and hanging on to Inuyasha's arm.

"This is between you and me Kikyou, don't bring that bastard into this." Kagome said looking in Inuyasha her eyes so full of betrayal and hate.

Inuyasha let out a small growl, at Kagome "Wench, that's my fiancé you're talking to."

Fiancé, that slut Inuyasha fiancé. Kagome thought trying to keep her anger under control, "Like I care who I am talking to I wouldn't care if she was the Queen of England!" Kagome said and looked at Inuyasha and Kikyou. Inuyasha looked beyond pissed and Kikyou had this satisfied smirk on her face.

That bitch planned this. She is going to regret ever meeting Inuyasha and me… mostly me. Kagome thought staring at Kikyou and Inuyasha, seeing Inuyasha's face Kagome new she should stop but, she couldn't two years of keeping things in and now she has a chance to spill looking at Inuyasha, Kagome started, "You're a bastard Inuyasha, you let her ruin our friend ship, but you obviously don't care, do you! You never did! Its been two fucking years Inuyasha, two! And how many times did you think of me," Kagome paused briefly before continuing, "None am I right Inuyasha, because you were two busy sleeping with that whore! After thirteen years you throw a friendship away, like it mean nothing to you. You throw me away like I was a piece of garbage!"

"Well I can see how that could happen considering you are a piece of garbage."

Kagome had heard enough she march up to Kikyou, and smirk before punching her in the jaw. Kikyou feel back and Inuyasha caught her. Growling at Kagome, and he helped her stand again, and before he knew what was happening Kagome slapped him and ran down the hall. Inuyasha stare after her, growling at her. How dare she punch Kikyou like that! That stupid wench. I'll make her pay. Inuyasha thought, but his thoughts were interrupted when he smelt tears. He look down at Kikyou and saw that it wasn't her that was crying she was too busy trying to hind the bruise that she would have where Kagome had hit her. It was then when he recognized who tears they were, it was the same tears that he smelt ever time last year when he went to go apologize to Kagome, because she was right, he did throw her friendship away and she was the first girl who had ever wanted to be his friend, and after she was his friend she introduced him to Miroku, and Sango and they had all been friends since elementary school. When he stopped being friends with Kagome, Sango stopped too, Sango was Kagome's best girl friend and he understood why she hated him. Miroku stayed his friends but everyday he always tells Inuyasha to make up with Kagome. Before Inuyasha knew what he was doing he ran after the scent of Kagome tears.

Kagome ran threw the quad and over to the pound that was in the back of the campus. It was her favorite spot, mostly because it was forgotten and she like to come here when she was sad, and think about the good old days when her and Inuyasha were friends.

Picking up a rock Kagome threw it in the water and watched it sink to the bottom. Before picking up a another bigger rock and throwing it at the center of the pound at watched as it went two feet before making a big splash that got Kagome wet. "Fucking rock." Kagome swore, at the rock, "I HATE YOU!" Kagome screamed not caring who heard, sitting down on the shore. But I guess that's why I love you. Kagome thought as she pulled her knees to her chest and cried into her jeans.

Inuyasha followed Kagome's scent to a small pound, he looked around and liked what he saw, it was a quiet place, away from school, life, and people. While he was looking around he didn't see Kagome at first, but when he saw her he frowned. He heard her scream and knew that she was saying that she hated him. He didn't want her to hate him. He knew that she was the one who sent him those anonymous gift, the smelt like her, a warm summer's day. Which she foolishly tried to cover with perfume, and for an address she put Sango's of all people she gave an address that he knew. He was looking forward to opening her gift tomorrow if he still got one.

Picking up a large rock Inuyasha threw it in the water in front of Kagome causing her to jump and turn around. He heard her gasp when she saw him, he just crossed his arms in front of him and looked at her.

"What are you doing here?" Kagome asked breaking the silence with her anger.

What do you think I am doing here I am worried about you… "I'm here because I want to be." Inuyasha said simply.

"Should have known, that you of all people would never apologize." So why do I always expect one.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha started but was cute off by Kagome.

"What no wench or bitch, or any of those names you let Kikyou call me."

"God damn it Kagome shut the hell up, I am trying to tell you something."

"Oh but first let me guess what it is, is on 'Stupid wench you fucking punch my bitch of a fiancé and the went and slapped my stupid ass face.'"

"I said shut up women."

"Fine." Kagome said and face the pound again. Don't cry, Kagome. You can't let him see you cry.

Inuyasha stared while taking a deep breath. "Kagome look at me," Inuyasha watched as she faced him tears threaten to fall, "Kagome I just wanted to say that I am sorry. I wish I told you that sooner, but every time I went to you dorm to apologize I would hear you crying and saying how much you hated me. I'm sorry that I let Kikyou make fun of you and when ever you stood up for you self I would yell at you. I'm sorry that I… ended our friendship." Inuyasha finished and looked down at Kagome, hoping for forgiveness.

"I'm not sure what to say Inuyasha…" Kagome started, looking away from Inuyasha and back at the pound, "You have no idea how I felt for the past two years and now you just expect me to forgive you like nothing happened. This wasn't one of our normal fights which usually ended when both of us got tired at yelling at each other. Its not easy, forgive and forget. How can I forget everything that happened over the last years that you and I weren't friends and you should expect that? Do you know how many days I cried because of you? You hurt me more then I thought anyone else could. And you seemed fine when ever I saw you. You were with your fiancé…"

"Kikyou's not my fiancé, I asked her to marry me but she turn me down saying that she wasn't ready to get married and since she's moving away…"

"Wait, wait, back up there Inuyasha. Kikyou's moving… Oh its all making since now." Kagome said as she stood up, "I see why you want to be my friend again. All because Kikyou's moving you want to be friends again. Wow, I feel real special."

"Kagome its not like that." Inuyasha started, he really did want to be friends with Kagome again, but Kikyou… He and Kikyou were soul mates... right?

"Then what is like Inuyasha, if you truly wanted to be my friend you wouldn't have ditched me for two years. What am I suppose to think when you come back wanting to be my friend when she is movie, what am I suppose to think Inuyasha?

"Kagome, you wouldn't understand." Inuyasha said as he sat down next to Kagome, "You don't know what its like to love someone and not have that person love you back and then you find someone and you think that you love them."

"Inuyasha what are you talking about." Kagome asked, curious to see where this was going.

"Kagome I loved you, and I knew that you would never love me more then a friend and then I met Kikyou and, I loved her at first sight."

"Inuyasha you idiot, what made you think I wouldn't love you." Kagome said and looked back out at the pound.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha started but was cut off by Kagome.

"Do you know what its like to truly be in love with someone Inuyasha, I do… The conversations had, the memories shared good and bad, when you truly love someone, it doesn't matter what happens along the way you'll know that you'll be together in the end, because you somehow know that they love you back and you would do anything for them. Not matter what, and if that person truly loved you back, Inuyasha, if Kikyou really loved you back, she wouldn't have separated us. She would allow us to continue being friends, wouldn't she?" Kagome paused and looked back at Inuyasha, "You know its true Inuyasha, Kikyou never truly loved you… like I did. I cried every night after we stopped being friends, because I was nothing with out you. I am nothing with out you Inuyasha, I missed having you call me every new moon just to talk. I missed laughing and being around you Inuyasha." The tears she was trying to hold back start pouring out her eyes. "You will never know how much you hurt me. When we were kids and I was being picked on, by some kids in school, you came to my side and swore you would never let anyone hurt me Inuyasha. That you would protect me, but you fail." Kagome stood up and ran to her dorm.

Inuyasha just sat there thinking about what Kagome had just said, did she really love him, did she still love him? Questions ran threw Inuyasha's head, questions he had to know the answers to.

Kagome entered her dorm room and slammed the door close before running over to her bed and throwing herself down upon it, crying into her pillows. Kagome cried her self to sleep but later woke up to the sounds of her cell phone ringing. Kagome picked it up not bothering to look at who was calling her.

"Hello," Kagome said tiredly.

"Kagome," Came a male's voice at the other end.

"Hojo, not tonight please, I'm tired, just leave me alone, I will never go out with you, I'm sorry so goodnight." Kagome said and closed her phone, and putting in on her night stand before laying back down, just as she was about to go back to sleep her phone rang again.

"God damn persistent bastard… Hojo, no means no, I'm not attacked to you, so please leave me alone." Kagome said as was about to hang up when she heard a familiar yet distant voice.

"Hobo, who's Hobo?" The person on the other line said very confused.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked now sitting straight up and forgetting that her room mate and her and a bunk bed Kagome hit her head on the top bunch, "Oww…" Kagome said rubbing the soon to be bump on her head.

"Hey Kagome," Inuyasha said.

"What do you want didn't you…" Kagome started but was cut off by Inuyasha.

"Kagome, please can you meet me down stairs, and no, Kikyou isn't down here. I gave up driving her to the air port I need to talk to you."

"Okay I'll be right down." Kagome hung up her phone and started to straightened out her hair, "Wait, why do I care if I look good, for him? That's right I don't." Kagome said and stormed out the door and down the stairs. With each step she wondered what Inuyasha wanted now. Kagome saw him waiting out side when she reached the bottom step. He was staring up at the sky as, watching the sun go down.

Feeling someone staring at him Inuyasha turned around and saw Kagome he tried to smile but decided against it, not knowing if she would take it the wrong way or the right way. The right way being a friendly smile, one that he had longed to give her every time he saw her and the more he thought about the past the more he had to agree with Kagome, Kikyou was a bitch who kept him away form his friends. Kept him away form where he belonged.

"Well Inuyasha, I'm here what did you want to talk about?" Kagome asked walking out side.

"I wanted to know if what you said was true, that you loved me." Inuyasha asked looking directly in Kagome's eyes.

Kagome looked into his golden eyes, wanting to lie to him and say no that it wasn't true, but she couldn't lie to him, facing him. His eyes hypnotizing her into telling the truth, it wasn't fair, "Yes, Inuyasha it is true, I did love you." Kagome said, slowly regretting each word that she said.

"Do you still love me Kagome?" Inuyasha asked his hope that she still did hidden. He didn't want her to know just yet, that he still loved her as well
