REI'S CORNER: HI it is currently 12:31 AM and I for some reason all of a sudden come up with a new story! I know, I know, you must be thinking, IS SHE HIGH! I mean, this isn't even the story that I was supposed to be coming out with. I will get that out though, I am still planning that. This, I have not planned. I just got inspiration and well I want to write it. I have no Idea where it's going so bear with me will you?

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha. I'm not even sure if I own this plot it seems kind of familiar to me. But alas, I am pretty sure that the ideas are mine...

It's Cliche

The Prologue

"Wow. I never thought that I would have the nerve to stand up here and say this to you all. But they asked me to and you all know me, Higurashi, the people pleaser."

She waited for the audience to stop laughing.

"Usually there is a lot to say at these things, of course, hopefully this is our only one that we have to go through. Well, the only one here. But there isn't that much to say. I mean, this year was probably the most difficult year that we had to go through. Parents, yelling and complaining about our future. The teachers on our backs-well they do that anyway. The colleges deciding whether they want us or not-you name it. Yet, we still in some since wanted to be kids. We wanted to hang out with our friends and go to parties. Now, I don't know about you all, but I'm kind of going to miss that. All of that. We all know that college or not, the teachers won't be on our backs any more, and we'll be out in the world, doing our own things. We tried to make this year one heck of a year for that sake. And I for one, think that we did the best we could. So now that we're all free, we can go to that party, or go on that date-the thing is though, that we have to remember. Remember all of the times that we had fun in high school. Remember the scoldings we got from having that fun. And most of all, remember that high school only happened once, like almost everything else in life. We have to make everything count. No matter what, or who we become. And if you ever find yourself in trouble, remember my words from today. You are only finished and through when you give the speech. Stay strong. Good luck."

She paused for a moment to look at her near-almost former classmates like she was instructed to before continuing.

"Congratulations, Class of 2000!" she yelled.

Shortly after, everyone in the crowd was cheering and the now former students were jumping up and down, and hugging each other.

'It's really over.' she thought. Walking down from the giant podium, she started to unzip her blue robes, getting ready to go find her friends so that they could go to the big party that Dahni Marks was having to celebrate. She sighed uneasily. She wasn't used to giving speeches, and she was really nervous before. She didn't even like her speech.

"Kagome! Over here!"

She looked over and saw her family smiling brightly at her. Her mother came over and gave her a big hug.

"Oh I cannot believe my little girl has graduated! I'm so proud of you honey! You were so great up there!" she gushed.

Kagome felt someone patting her on the back. It was her grandfather. He didn't say anything, he was a man of few words. But the pat on the back was enough for her. She knew that he was proud of her.

"Yeah, sis, good job!" her little brother said from behind her.

Kagome smiled. She was lucky to have her family supporting her. She was really going to miss them when she went off for college. Speaking of college, she needed to remember to finish packing. She only had about two days before she was off to college. She was going far away from home. She didn't want to leave that far, but it was the only college that had the field of her interest in the country, and she was not going to study abroad another country.

"Kagome! Hey Kagome!"

She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard her friends calling her name. She pulled away from her mom and turned her attention toward them.

"Are you coming or what? The party's going to start without us!" one of them yelled.

"Be there in a minute!" she answered.

With another hug, her mother let Kagome go off with her friends to celebrate.

The party was like any other party, except bigger. There was more people, more music, more everything. There were people dancing everywhere, in the pool, on the roof, in the houses elevator. Yes, the house had an elevator! Kagome felt just a little out of place as her friends left to find their boyfriends, and Kagome just hung around by the pool.

She was deep in thought. Thinking about college, thinking about what she would do when she got there. All of the classes that she was taking. The job that she would have to get. She sighed. This seemed just a little bit harder than she thought earlier.

"Hey, look out!"

She was interrupted from her thoughts when a large pool ball came flying towards her, and water splashed in her face. Shocked, Kagome didn't know what to do. She didn't have a towel, so she would just have to wipe it off and try to look cool. One of the people in the pool came over. And it was just her luck. The guy was Inuyasha Taisho. He was a good friend of Dahni, and he was Kagome's ex-boyfriend.

"Sorry about that, Kagome." he said softly. He got out of the pool and handed her his towel to dry off with. She nodded in her thanks, and expected him to go off with his friends. To her utter surprise, he only threw the ball back to him and sat by her.

"That was a nice speech you gave back at school."

"Thank you."

"So, you still goin' out far for college?"

She nodded instead of answering.

"I'm goin' pretty far too. Harsley University to be exact."

Kagome nodded again, and he shifted a little.

"When are you leaving?" he asked.

"In two days."

Inuyasha looked taken back. "So soon. Well, if you ever come home, you'll give me a call won't you? I mean we are still friends right?"

She looked at him in disbelief.

"...Right" she said back to him.

Shortly after that, Inuyasha smirked and jumped back into the pool to rejoin his friends.

Kagome could not believe him! What nerve...

No, she couldn't get mad over something like that. She stood and left the pool area. All she needed to worry about was catching the right plane in two days, and not leaving anything behind...that's right, all she needed to focus on was college...College...
