Destiny is what is meant to be…
People say… that love is the hardest game of all because how can one win if there are no rules to play by…

CHAPTER 4: Bad Morning into a Good one.
Kagome yawned. It was 6:30 in the morning. She had decided to wake up earlier then yesterday so she would have more time to do whatever she had to do in the morning.
After Kagome had brushed her teeth, she went down stairs to see Sango in the kitchen with her mother.
"Ohaiyo! Kagome!" Sango said happily.
"And I thought I was up early." Kagome stated, as she sat down at the breakfast table. "Hey Sango, Mother?"
"Yes Kagome?" Mrs. Higurashi replied.
"Why are you two up so early?" Kagome wondered.
"Your mom is teaching me how to make her famous delicious cream puffs!" Sango exclaimed to Kagome. "Ok, Mrs. Higurashi, now how long do I put them in the oven?" asking Mrs. Higurashi.
"10 minutes will be great," Kagome's mom said.
"Hai," Sango said as she put the tray of cream puffs in the oven. "There they will be done and cooled by time we leave for school."
"Ok, Sango go brush your teeth now." Mrs. Higurashi ordered Sango.
"Hai," Sango ran up the stairs and into the bathroom.
"Ohaiyo, sweetie," Mrs. Higurashi smiled at Kagome.
"Ohaiyo, Mother," Kagome was getting freaked out from her mother smiling at her. "Uh…Mother, why are you smiling at me like that?"
"Oh. What? A mother can't smile at her daughter? After finding out that she has a boyfriend?" Mrs. Higurashi grinned.
"WHAT! A BOYFRIEND! AND WHO MIGHT MY 'BOYFRIEND BE!" Kagome screamed.
"Oh you know that nice boy who you met at school yesterday that helped you after you hurt your ankle." Mrs. Higurashi said matter-of-factly.
"Who! Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed again.
"Yes!" Mrs. Higurashi laughed.
"He's just a friend I met yesterday!" Kagome yelled. "Mother!"
"I want to meet him," Mrs. Higurashi smiled.
"URGGHH! SANGO! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Kagome screamed.
"What's with all this noise?" Kagome's grandpa asked.
"URGHH!" Kagome was so frustrated. "Grandpa, Mother is implying that I have a boyfriend!"
"You have a boyfriend?" Kagome's grandpa asked. "I want to meet him."
"URGHHH!"
"Hey Kagome what's wrong?" Sango asked as she was coming down the stairs.
"URGHHH! I'm going to school!" Kagome stormed out the door.
'URGHH! Why did Sango have to go and tell Mother about Inuyasha?" Kagomue screamed in her head. 'Darn, its only 7:00a. School doesn't start for another hour.
Kagome sighed. "Wait, what exactly do I have to be mad about...? It's not like I HATE Inuyasha...but I don't like him like him either..."Kagome said out loud to herself. 'I'll go through the park since I have time to spare.' Kagome thought.
Kagome went over the swings and sat down on one of the swings and was thinking...'I'm going to apologize to everyone. Yea, I will. I didn't mean to get mad, I was just frustrated.' Kagome's stomach growled.
"Stupid stomach." Kagome said to her stomach out loud.
"Ohaiyo Kagome." Kagome looked up and saw Inuyasha. "Here you go," Inuyasha handed a bun to Kagome.
"Arigato Inuyasha," Kagome took the bun and bit into it.
"What are you doing here in the park so early?" Inuyasha asked.
"I can ask you the same thing." Kagome said.
"OK, OK," Inuyasha laughed." I don't ask you and you don't ask."
"Gomen Inuyasha, I'm just not in a good mood this morning."
"Why? What's wrong?" Inuyasha questioned.
"It's nothing." Kagome looked away.
"C'mon you can tell me." Inuyasha said.
"No I can't. Now leave me alone." Kagome said while getting up to walk away, but Inuyasha had grabbed her arm.
"Come here Kagome, I want to show you something." Inuyasha said.
"O...k..."
Inuyasha lead her around the park over to a place where there were a bunch of trees that had orange and yellow leaves due to the season being fall.
"A bunch of fall trees is that what you wanted to show me?" Kagome asked impatiently.
"No baka,"Inuyasha laughed. "Through these trees."
Inuyasha and Kagome went through the forest of orange and yellow leaves trees to a clearing in the middle of the little forest. Right in the center of the clearing was a cherry tree.
"Wow..." Kagome said with awe. "It's so beautiful...but wait, how can a cherry tree be in full bloom in the middle of fall?"
"That's the beauty of it...It never loses its flowers all year long..." Inuyasha explained.
Kagome walked closer to the tree and smelled the flowers on the branches closest to the ground. "They smell so sweet." Kagome was starting to feel much better.
"Long time ago, in the Feudal Era, a man by the name of Tatewaki planted this cherry tree wanting his love between Akane, a girl for which he loved and never had the heart to speak to, last forever. To this day, Tatewaki has never had the chance to tell Akane that he loves her. So that's why this tree is always in bloom. It will only stop blooming when Tatewaki tells Akane he loves her. But that will never happen for they are both long dead. Also, legend says that if two people are destined to be together and kiss under this tree, their love will last for all of eternity. Just like the flowers..." Inuyasha was saying. "I used to come here in the spring to have picnics with my mother when I was little..."
"Wow that is pretty cool and interesting..." Kagome smiled still smelling the cherry blossoms. "Hey Inuyasha?"
"Yes?"
"Can I pick off one of these flowers?" Kagome wondered.
"Sure, the flowers will always be in bloom." Inuyasha smiled.
"Yay! I want to remember this day." Kagome said with a giant smile as she picked off a cherry blossom.
"Why would you want to remember this day?" Inuyasha asked.
"No reason. What time is it? Kagome asked.
"7:45" Inuyasha said.
"OK, we can make to school on time then if we leave now. Let's go Inuyasha." Kagome ran out of the clearing and back into the park.
Inuyasha ran after Kagome.
END OF CHAPTER 4
Kind of boring but this chapter will show lots of meaning in future chapters!
