Time had past and the weekend finally came, Inuyasha came home on Friday. "Dad? Mom? You home?" Inuyasha walked up down the hallway. He heard strange noises coming from his brother's old room. He opened the door to see Sesshomaru and his wife Rin making out.

"Get out!" Sesshomaru mumbled to Inuyasha. Inuyasha did what he was told. He sighed and went to his room. He found Dr. Higurashi's card on his dresser. He picked it up and sighed. He grabbed his cell phone and dialed the number.

"Hello, Dr. Higurashi speaking." Kagome's mom spoke cheerfully.

"Dr. Higurashi? It's Inuyasha."

"What's wrong?"

"Actually, I was wondering if I could talk to Kagome." Inuyasha said a bit nervous.

"Oh, of course. Kagome!" Dr. Higurashi called to Kagome. "It's for you!"

"Hello?" A young girl's voice asked over the phone.

"Kagome? It's Inuyasha, we need to talk." He replied.

"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Kagome asked.

"I…I want to be with you, I really do, but that promise. That was a very important promise." Inuyasha voice was beginning to quiver

"Inuyasha, wouldn't Kikyo want you to be happy?" Kagome asked.

"Yes…"Inuyasha said questionable.

"Are you happy now?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha went wide eyed. He bit his lip nervously. He began to scratch his head embarrassed. He sighed. "Not really."

Kagome smiled over the phone. "Remember Inuyasha, I'll always wait for you." She whispered before she hung up.

Inuyasha hung up the phone. He plopped onto his bed and rested his face on the pillow. He had one little scar under his right eye on his cheek. All of the scars on his body reminded him of his true love dieing right before him. "Damn it, I could of prevented all of that from happening. If I…I…" Inuyasha had a tear roll over his scarred cheek. "I just paid attention to the road better." He hid his face in his pillow until he heard a knock on his door.

"Honey, Miroku is here." His mother said letting Miroku in.

"Hey Inuyasha!" Miroku said cheerfully.

Inuyasha quickly wiped his tears from his face. He didn't want his best friend since birth to see him cry. "Hey Miroku, how's school going for you?"

Miroku smiled. "It's going good. It's too bad we don't get to see each other that often since my mom moved and I rarely get to see Dad here." Inuyasha nodded. Miroku looked back to Inuyasha. "Well, I have to go. Sorry for the short visit, but Dad thinks I'm at the library. I can't believe he'd fall for that!" Inuyasha got up and followed him to the front door.

"I'll see you later." Inuyasha said with a smile. Miroku nodded and got in his 1967 Mustang and drove off. Inuyasha watched him leave. He closed the door and went back to his room.

Meanwhile, Kagome sat at her desk in her room and continued her homework. As she worked she thought about Inuyasha. "He wants to be with me?" She began to blush. From the moment she saw him, she noticed sadness in his cloudy looking eyes. It made her heart ache just thinking about losing someone so dear to them. She sighed and began to work again.
