Chapter 25: Decisions and the truth.

Miroku was shocked once he heard the news from Hojo. He knew something was odd about Kazuki-uh- Kagome. But the more he thought about it the more he pieced everything together. He was angry at Kagome yet felt sad as well, knowing that she had hurt his best friend made him boil in anger, but then knowing she hadn't meant to allowed to remain somewhat calmer. He didn't hate her, but didn't really find what she had done right or necessary, however he knew that the poor girl must have been regretting every moment throughout everything, and if Hojo said that she didn't mean to or intend to ever woo Inuyasha then he guessed he couldn't exactly blame her for falling in love with his best friend. However he was pissed of that Inuyasha had to be the one to be in the middle of this, he looked up to Inuyasha, he admired his strength his courage and his talents. He admired the way he balanced all the weight on his shoulders making it look so easy. However he hated that Inuyasha never said anything, he didn't want to worry people, but he wished Inuyasha would open up more to him about his problems.

Miroku sighed and ran his fingers through his hair before looking back at Hojo in his dorm. "So what do you think Inuyasha is going to do?"

Hojo sighed and shook his head "Do what he knows best, keep it to himself, he will never allow any one to know what he is truly thinking or feeling. I haven't known him for long but I do know he doesn't deserve this. But Kagome doesn't either, I think it's hard on both of them to be honest. They truly did love each other and from what I could grasp from seeing them they were serious, as in wanting to make it last as long as forever if possible."

Miroku nodded "I'm shocked though, Inuyasha never struck me as the romantic type. However as unhappy as I am about this situation I am glad Kagome managed to change him for the better. Either way, I guess that doesn't matter now, everything is fucked. I've never seen how Inuyasha would act in a situation like this, so I'm worried. His demon most likely must have been very infatuated with her also, making it even harder for him."

Hojo nodded as he looked down. He then heard the door open from Inuyasha's dorm which was opposite Miroku's and turned to the said man, seeing from his look he heard it also. They both got up, and saw a very tired and worn out Inuyasha leaning against the door frame, his phone in one hand closed, his eyes on the floor.

Miroku spoke first "Hey Inu man, what's the-"

"I'm going to America." Inuyasha said not even looking up.

Miroku and Hojo were in shock. They were definitely not expecting that. Miroku grabbed his shoulders "Come again." Miroku said his voice slightly rougher now.

Inuyasha took a deep breath as he ran his fingers through his messy an dishevelled silver locks. "I'm going to America, I've decided to take over my whole share, I need to be in New York in a week."

Miroku was stunned he shook his head gently "I-Inuyasha, do you not remember what's going on in one weeks time? Do you!" Miroku was frustrated now, he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Inuyasha groaned and nodded a little. "I'm sure you guys can do it without me."

Miroku didn't say anything for a long while. Inuyasha was about to turn around before he heard Miorku finally speak. "Are you serious." Miroku looked up and saw his back as Inuyasha was about to enter his dorm. His hands fisted and his eyes were laced with anger. "Are you fucking serious? Do you even understand what your saying, are you hearing yourself!"

Inuyasha groweld and turned his head to the side a little. "I understand perfectly what I am saying. And everything you heard is the truth, and my decision is final."

Miroku scoffed "Seriosuly? Is this really your way to solving your problems, by running away!"

Inuyasha turned around and growled as he glared "I am not running away, I am just doing something that will-"

"Help you forget about her. All about Kagome!" Miroku felt his back hit the wall behind him as Inuyasha shoved him and growled. "Don't you dare say her name."

Miroku shook his head "But it is true, your running away. Your going all the way to fucking America because you can't bear the thought knowing that she is here right now in the same fucking country as you, and what? What do you think will happen when you leave, do you honestly think you will be happy? Do you honestly think you will be able to get rid of all yoru pain?"

Inuyasha kept on growling "Watch it Miroku, don't push me. I will do whatever I want, whatever I feel like, and whatever I find is right." Inuyasha stood back and turned around however Miorku spoke once again causing Inuyasha to be frustrated.

"Do you really think you will be able to handle it? The pain of never actually finding out why Kagome did what she did." Miroku said quietly. "Do you think you can leave your future, your dream of basketball, and go off fucking prancing around some stupid building being a big ass CEO while you grow older and older and regret what you had and left behind. What you could have had. I suggest you listen to what she has to say. I know why she came, I know why she did it, but it's only right that she tells you."

"I don't care Miroku-"

"Really? You really don't care. Off course you do, I can see it in your eyes every time you were around her, even around Kazuki you were happy, carefree, finally the Inuyasha that you were meant to be. Suddenly an obstacle like this comes along and your not even willing to look at the full picture before running of with your tail between your legs. This is something I'd expect from Koga not from you. Kagome might have done the wrong thing, but she is also suffering. She feels scared, vulnerable, sad, angry, she knows she wont be able to talk to you ever again, ever see you, you don't think she's suffering?"

Inuyasha said nothing other than looking down.

Miroku noticed this and took a deep breath before turning to see Hojo looking down sadly. His hands in his pockets he turned to Miroku and nodded for him to carry on. Miroku turned back to Inuyasha to see his ears flat against his skull and his body shaking slightly. "I hear you Inuyasha, listening to that song every night when you were both a couple. You would non-stop talk about her, and I knew that, that was all I wanted for you man. You need her, you want her, and you love her. Stop denying it, stop hiding behind this problem and go find her, talk to her and listen to her, then you can make your decision whether you want to leave or stay." Miroku walked forward and placed a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. "You need to be strong about this Inuyasha, you cannot run away from your problems, because I know that you love her with all your heart, I know you feel like your missing a part of yourself. But let me tell you now, that so much more will be lost if you don't make the right decision. If you don't hear her out, you will regret it my friend, but by then it would be too late. Think about your friends, your life, and what YOU want, what you wish."

Miroku tapped his shoulder once more and started to walk away slowly along with Hojo but not before stopping and saying one last words. "Your our number one player Inuyasha, remember that. If you miss the final game next week, we have no chance." Miroku then walked off, Hojo walking along side him, when they were out of ear shot Hojo spoke.

"You think you got to him?"

Miroku shrugged "We'll have to wait and see my friend. Inuyasha is very rash and his way of thinking is very narrow minded. One can only hope for so much."

Hojo nodded and sighed. "Yeah."

Nearly a week had passed and Kagome was laying in her bed, the covers up to her shoulders. Her eyes red from tears, black bags under her yes. Her cheeks pale, and her body slimmer and more fragile. Her usual rich ebony hair, dishevelled, knotted, and matted. Her hands laying beside her face, her lips pale and cracked. Sango saw her sister on the bed and bit her bottom lip as she tapped her fingers on her desk. She was worried, Kagome didn't eat, didn't sleep, didn't talk, didn't even move! She was lifeless, she would hardly go downstairs and she was meant to be starting Kurin High on Monday. Sango sighed heavily as she tried to get her attention. But nothing. Sango tried to be annoying and tapped her pencil on her desk, yawned loudly ruffled books, typed on her laptop harshly, but nothing. She finally got up pushing the chair behind her and walked over to the bed. Sango grabbed the covers and forcefully yanked it of her.

Kagome groaned "Sango, give it back." she said trying her best to grab the covers that kept her warm.

Sango frowned "No Kagome you need to stop this. You've been like this for nearly a week. Get up, have a shower and eat."

Kagome sighed "Sango, please just leave me alone. I'm not in the mood for this."

Sango groaned and threw her hands in the air "Then when are you Kagome?" Sango was losing her patience. She loved Kagome, she knew she should let her grieve, it was natural. She was sad, scared, somewhat angry, but she wasn't alone because she was there. She was with Kagome all the way, but she knew if she didn't push Kagome, then there was no way the girl would get up on her own. She wouldn't allow Kagome to stay in this state any longer, it wasn't healthy and she knew that somewhere inside her, her mind was telling her that if Kagome got better then something good will happen.

Kagome shook her head and covered her face with her eyes as she balled herself into a foetus position since the chill was getting to her. Sango sighed and placed the covers over her gently before sitting on the bed.

"Kagome, please you need to stop this. Not for any-body but for yourself. You have to stop being like this, rejecting food and sleep. You need to be healthy Kagome, otherwise how will you earn Inuyasha's trust back?"

Kagome groaned and stuffed her face into her pillow "Sango-"

"No Kagome, we have to have this talk. You cannot carry on like this." Sango stood up and looked down sternly, her hands on her hips. "You need to face the facts Kagome, you cannot simply lay down here for god knows how long, whilst you could be thinking of a way to get Inuyasha back."

Kagome sat up and ran a hand through her hair wincing at the knots she passed by. "Sango it's not that simple, I can't just go up to him and expect him to forgive me. He said it himself he doesn't want me there. He doesn't ever want to see me, he said it was better if I wasn't there. I love him and if that's what he wants then what can I do. Jaykotsu even had to go over to his dorm to retrieve my stuff. Face it Sango there is nothing I can do, I hurt him, and I need to let him go, it's the only way he can be happy again." Kagome said sadly bringing her knees up to her chest, her head down as she wanted to cry but had no tears left to shed.

Sango couldn't believe what she was hearing. She simply shook her head slowly as her hands dropped from her hips to her sides fisting, her lip in a thin line and her eyes annoyed. "Is that what you think Inuyasha really wants? Haven't you ever heard of the saying that when you are angry you tend to say stuff you don't mean. He didn't literally want you out of his life forever Kagome. He didn't know what to do at that moment, not that he didn't want you in his life and gone forever. Some people say things they dont actually mean."

Kagome shook her head slowly as she raised her head and placed her chin on her knee. "No Sango, it's over. I just have to admit it. It's better for him if I just stayed away."

Sango shook her head and stomped her foot "Kagome are you listening to yourself. Where has the strong minded Kagome gone? Where in the world do you go thinking that he would truly be happy without you. He loves you Kagome!"

"No he doesn't. He loves the fake Kagome!" Kagome raised her voice as she stood up. "It's over Sango! He never loved the real me! He only ever loved the girl he thought he knew, the truthful, respectful, honest girl. I am none of that Sango, I broke his trust and his heart. He was best friends with Kazuki not me. Face it Sango nothing you say will make me change my mind."

Sango shook her head as her eyes looked sadly at Kagome "You are so slow aren't you. Inuyasha liked the girl he was with, loved the girl he spoke with, laughed with, kissed god knows what else. Kagome it was all you in the end. You were Kagome, acting, walking, talking, it was all pure Kagome. Nothing of those moments were a fake you. You were never fake, your story might have been, but you weren't. Inuyasha fell in love with YOU Kagome YOU no-body else. So stop thinking so negatively and go back to that school march into that dorm and just talk with him."

Kagome shook her head sadly, her eyes closed shut and her emotions spiralling. Sango however carried on "Kagome, do you really think that he wants this? None of you do. For gods sake Kagome get your act together and go get him."

Kagome said nothing but turned her head away from Sango. "Leave me alone Sango."

Sango sighed in defeat but did as Kagome wanted however she turned around once more. "Don't you dare leave it like this Kagome. Inuyasha and you are meant to be, whatever circumstances, and through whatever hardships, you and Inuyasha have to go through it together. He was your world Kagome and you were his, you really think he will want you to disappear. Show him you care and love him by fighting for his trust back. Sitting here isn't going to do anything and in the future you will regret it." And with that Sango left, leaving a sad and confused Kagome behind.

Once Kagome heard the door close with a light click, she fell back onto the floor as she placed on arm on the mattress, her head leaning against it as tears slid down her cheek slowly. She closed her eyes gently and once she did, she raised a hand to grip her head as she shook it roughly, crying out. Kagome's body shook as she kept thinking about Sango's words. He couldn't possibly still love her, not after what she had done to him, not after the way she had treated him and broke his heart. Kagome carried on crying as she lost hope. She knew what Sango said made sense but could she? Could she go back and face him, knowing that she'd most likely be rejected. Kagome broke down once more, her dishevelled hair becoming even more frizzy as she gripped her head roughly. She was meant to start Kurin high again but she didn't think she had the strength. Kagome just wanted Inuyasha, but she had lost him. She had lost his trust, his friendship and most likely...his love.

Inuyasha had placed his folded shirt in his suitcase, before grabbing five more of them and placing it inside as well. He looked around and walked over slowly towards his wardrobe which was next to the stereo. Inuyasha stopped in front of the contraption, his eyes baggy and red from the lack of sleep. But he couldn't. Whenever he closed his eyes all he could picture was her heart shaped face, her beautiful smile, her auburn eyes that shone with passion and happiness, her swan like neck tilting back as he placed chaste kisses over the soft skin, his arms and body ravishing her over and over.

Inuyasha clenched his fist as he growled and pulled his fist back to punch it, however stopped midway as his hand fell limp to his side, his head down, his bangs covering his eyes. He fell onto his knees, his arms lifeless beside him his head down and a small tear escaping secretly. Inuyasha suddenly saw the stereo start and the music...their song started playing. Inuyasha quickly turned around to see Miroku standing there, remote in his hand. Inuyasha then remembered the remote was on the coffee table. He glared at Miroku and growled "Turn it of Miroku."

Miroku simply stood there, he looked around and frowned "Your still packing? Your relaly going to go through with this?" Miroku said turning back to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha said nothing but simply stood up and went towards the plugs and unplugged the stereo, the song dying out...much like his own heart, as he disconnected his bond between him and Kagome.

Inuyasha growled and went back to packing "None of your damn business. Leave me alone so I can finish."

Miroku simply carried on standing there "The final match is tomorrow. Are you honestly not going to attend, Inuyasha the number one player, the captain, the leader, won't even attend the last round of the championships. Who will ignore possible opportunities for a future, your dream, only to run away."

"That's none of your business pervert, I want to go to America, if there is a problem then please speak to my lawyer."

Miroku winced slightly. "You are not the Inuyasha I know. You haven't even considered speaking with Kagome have you."

Inuyasha carried on staying silent and Miroku sighed as he shook his head sadly "I thought so. This is your last chance, tell me right now that you want to go to America. That you truly, with all your god damned heart want to go to America, only then I will leave you alone." Miroku said seriously, he knew words hit home with Inuyasha but not enough to make him realise his mistake. So he decided to use another strategy, oh off course he will leave him alone, but that didn't mean he couldn't tell a significant other.

Inuyasha couldn't turn around as his shoulder slouched slightly. He walked o the bathroom and came back out with a few of his supplies. "I do, I want to. Now please leave me alone." Inuyasha said packing the rest of his products.

Miroku gave a nod "Then good luck Inuyasha, I hope you make your father proud because you made the right choice." Miroku turned around and stepped out of the room before closing the door with a slow click.

Inuyasha instantly stopped packing and walked over to the kitchen to grab himself a bottle of water. Once he drank a little he placed it on the table. He looked at the plain marble table remembering how he and...Kagome had many conversations and moments around this specific area. Inuyasha instantly leaned forward, and spread his hands as they held onto each side of the marble furniture. He gripped it firmly as he looked down. He kept thinking over Miroku's words, and knew that he truly wanted to play basketball,, that he wanted to play in the championships.

Inuyasha quickly shook his head. He couldn't think like that. His plane departed at 5:30pm tomorrow the game was at 6:00pm. Inuyasha stood up and walked back over to the suitcase, his hand gliding over his clothes. He roughly shut the lid of the suitcase and looked up. He saw the field outside of the window in front of him, remninding him of all the painful moments he and Kazu-Kagome had with morning practices and where they had their first ever bond.

Inuyasha walked towards the window, his hands in his pockets. He leaned his forehead against the glass and took a deep breath he moved back and reached up to grab the end of a string that held a curtain. He pulled it, and as he did the curtains were slowly shielding the view, the view of his and Kazuki's place. Inuyasha turned around and sighed.

"I made the right choice."

Miroku paced back and forth of his dorm as Hojo was sitting on the sofa. "Miro calm down."

Miroku sighed and shook his head roughly "I can't, Inuyasha leaves in..." Miroku checked his watch "...in three hours. The game is in three and a half. He still is going trhough with this stupid charade!" Miroku said as he shoved his arms in the air angrily.

Hojo sighed and rubbed his forehead. Then he had an idea "Hey I have an idea."

Miroku turned towards Hojo and tilted his head slightly "Hm? What's that?"

Hojo ran a hand through his hair "Well, I have been getting closer with Jay-"

"Wait Jay, as in Jaykotsu? Kagome's friend?" Miroku asked.

Hojo nodded and Miroku smirked as he wiggled his eyebrows "You sucker you."

Hojo blushed horribly and cleared his throat "ANYWAY, basically he is very close with Kagome, I know he and Sango probably want Kagome to shape up also, seeing as how she hasn't come over yet."

Miroku gave a nod "So what's your point exactly?"

Hojo nodded "What is Inuyasha's weakness Miroku." It was more of a statement than a question.

Miroku thought for a moment then spoke "Kagome."

Hojo smirked "Exactly, so if I tell Jay what Inuyasha is planning then-"

"He will tell Kagome, and hopefully-"

"Kagome will run to the airport and stop him. It's a perfect romance soppy drama." Hojo finished.

Miroku nodded and instantly grinned before frowning "But do you think she'll go after him. I mean what if she doesn't make it? And what if Inuyasha doesn't change his mind? Then what?"

Hojo shook his head as he took out his phone. "You worry too much my friend. Just trust me, if I know Jay as I think I do, I know he will manage to convince Kagome to go, and she won't be late because..." Hojo flipped his phone and dialled a number before pressing it against his ear "...I'm calling him now."

Jaykotsu was in the gym as he tried to lift his weights before feeling a buzz in his pocket. Jaykotsu placed the contraption back to where it belongs before dabbing his face with a towel that was around his neck. He reached to grab his phone and as he flipped it open he saw Hojo's number and got excited, he answered immediately.

"Hey." Jaykotsu said a little flirtatiously. However that soon changed as Jaykotsu abruptly stood up knocking his water bottle that was placed on the floor "HE'S WHAT!?"

Inuyasha checked his watch and saw it was 4:50. He saw two men come in and carry his luggage. Soon after all the bags were safely taken and placed in his fathers private car, Inuyasha turned around to look at the room once more. He turned to the bunk beds and his heart clenched as he remembered the memories. The time when he for once felt loved and loving. The first time he felt happy and content after that night's event. He then turned to the sofa where he and Kazuki had spent so many times laughing and how Kagome would hide form scary scenes as they ate Chinese and joked around. Inuyasha then looked towards the bathroom where he remembered how it smelt of her shampoo and overbearing amount of cologne. His gaze landed on the kitchen where he and Kagome had many moments. Inuyasha's final gaze landed on his stereo. He had not packed it. He left it, knowing that if he was going to go, then he would leave all traces of memory behind. He turned to his bedside table to see the basketball Kagome had bought him. He felt the itch to just run over and grab it change and go out to play and beat the championships. However the more logical side of his brain warned him that it was wrong and that he needed to forget all these memories, and leave it all behind.

Inuyasha turned around once more, and with one last glance, he closed the door slowly and as he did, he knew that at that moment he had locked away his dreams, his desires, his memories, and the traces that carried and withheld the love of his life. Inuyasha was angry with Kagome, but if one thing he knew was that even though she played with him and toyed, his love for her was genuine and..she would always carry his heart.

Inuyasha entered the car as he saw the driver open it for him. Inuyasha bowed slightly, as he looked down at his suit. Black suit trousers, a red silk button down shirt, along with a black tie and a black blazer. All pure Armani from the best quality, a Rolex on one wrist and his polished expensive Italian leather shoes. He ran his hands through his hair only to realise it was tied up in a low ponytail. Inuyasha took a deep breath before entering. And like that the car drove away and headed straight to the airport. Inuyasha gave one last look at is school, his friends, his future, knowing that this step was the most logical. And with that in mind he turned back around, and looked straight ahead seeing the main road appear.

This was his choice, his new life. One without Kagome.

Kagome was laying down on the bed, clad in a pair of boot leg jeans, an oversized jumper and her hair in a bun. Her face pale and eyes still red. Suddenly the door slammed open startling Kagome, she noticed that it was Jaykotsu and Sango. "Guy's you scared the hell out of me, what's wrong?"

Jaykotsu ran to her and grabbed her arm "Kagome we don't have time, you have to stop him, he's making a huge mistake."

Kagome was confused "Whose making a mistake Jay, your not making any sense. Sango?" Kagome asked sending a worried glance over at her sister, who seemed out of breath.

"Kagome, it's Inuyasha."

Kagome's eyes widened and her blood ran cold. "Is he hurt?" Kagome said panicking instantly.

Sango shook her head but couldn't form speech. Jaykotsu took a big gulp of air and spoke on her behalf "Inuyasha agreed Kagome. He agreed to take over the firm in New York. He's going to America Kagome...today...now...at 5:30. You need to stop him!"

At his words Kagome's whole being froze in time. He agreed. He agreed. He had agreed. Was the only coherent thing running through Kagome's mind. Jaykotsu quickly shook her "Kagome come on he's going to Sungyunman airport now! You need to stop him. Trust your instincts Kagome."

Kagome quickly realised what he was saying and looked to the clock in her room the time saying 5:10. Kagome instanly ran past the two put on her trainers quickly and ran out of the house not even bothering to close the door behind her. She started running down the road not caring about her attire, all she cared about at that moment was Inuyasha. "Inuyasha...Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted as she turned a corner.

'I can't lose you Inuyasha. I love you. I love you so much Inuyasha, I don't want you to go. You can't go, there are so many people your leaving behind. Hojo, Miroku, Jaykotsu, Sango, Shippo, Kirara, heck even Koga...and me. You can't leave me Inuyasha, you can't forget your dreams. You just can't leave!'

And with that thought Kagome pumped even harder as she ran the fastest she had ever run before, she pushed her body to the limit as memories of her and Inuyasha flooded her mind. When he twirled her around on the dance floor on their first date, their first kiss, the morning practices, the lunch times, the movie nights, all the running, the matches, the arcade, the first time they made love. There were too many memories flashing in her mind. She didn't care if she was selfish Inuyasha needed to know the truth. And she was going to tell him the truth, he needed to hear it. She needed to tell him exactly how much she loves him, and will never stop loving him. She needed Inuyasha.

Inuyasha felt the car pull up and checked his watch to see it read 5:15. He had fifteen minutes to board, however since his was private he had no queue, meaning he had time to spare. Inuyasha heard the door open and slowly stood out. "We are here Mr. Takahsahi, this kind sir will lead you to your private jet sir." The driver said bowing deeply before earning a tiny nod from Inuyasha. Inuyasha saw two men carrying his luggage along with another one who smiled at him and outstretched his hand.

"Good evening Mr. Takahashi, my name is Akitoki, and I will be showing you to your flight sir." He said politely bowing, before turning around and walking. Inuyasha soon followed, on hand in his pocket and the other on his side. He bit his tongue as he resisted the urge to turn back around, he saw the majority of he citizens in the airport make way for him as he passed by all the queues and entered the area for private V.I.P's. Inuyasha started heading to the gate. His mind was telling him to look forward, yet his body was begging him to turn around and run, but he knew that if he wanted to move on, his body would have to fail in it's mission to dominate his thoughts. He trusted his heart and it shattered. Inuyasha kept looking forward at the long corridor of the airport.

Kagome was running down the street before she hauled a taxi. She ran in and slammed the door shut. "Sungyunman airport. QUICK!" The driver instantly hurried up and Kagome took deep breaths as she checked her watch. It was 5:18. Shit she didn't have much time, thankfully the airport wasn't too far away from her house.

Kagome felt the taxi halt and she was confused. "What's going on! Please keep going!"

"I'm sorry miss, but their seems to be traffic." Kagome's mouth hung open "You are kidding. How far are we of the airport?!"

The driver calculated on his GPS and groaned "By walk around fifteen minutes. Why?"

Kagome threw him a bunch of money and shouted "Keep the change!" Kagome suddenly got out of the taxi and thankfully saw a pedestrian road. She ran over and started running as fast her her heart body could push her. She checked her time 5:24. She wasn't going to make it. She just wasn't. Kagome however carried on pushing. 'Inuyasha. Inuyasha. INUYASHA'

Inuyasha stepped up on the steps of the plane before comfortably seating in one of the enlarged chairs. Once he sat down he was served with a glass of champaign and a few other trinkets. He didn't feel right however, he just felt cramped, suffocated. He should be loving this, but he couldn't, he just didn't feel comfortable. He couldn't do this, but he had to, if only to start a new life. Kagome. He couldn't stop thinking about Kagome. He almost wished she had ran towards the doors, but he knew that was impossible. He closed his eyes as he felt his eyes ting, he would not cry. He was a changed man he was a new person.

"Welcome all passengers, my name is Mr. Park and I will be your pilot for today along with my co-pilot Mr. Kahn. We hope you enjoy your ride to New York."

Kagome ran into the airport and pushed through the queues before leaning over the desk. "Excuse me Inuyasha Takahashi! His plane...New York...where is...it!" Kagome said panicking as she knew it was over half five.

The secretary was appalled and annoyed "Miss, wait your turn please I believe these people were here first." The secretary scolded.

Kagome shook her head "Please, Please just tell me which plane is Inuyasha Takahshi on he's going to New York please!" Kagome pleaded tears in her eyes.

The secretary rolled her eyes and typed on her computer "It is departing madame, V.I.P, it is that way. And please leave before I call security." However Kaogme already left before she could hear her finish her sentence.

Kagome carried on running in the direction until she saw V.I.P section which said one flight to New York. She followed the gate number and when she had arrived she pressed her hands against the glass that overlooked the road, and saw a plane at it's full speed and pulling into the air slowly. Kagome banged on the glass as she screamed "NO! INUYASHA! NO INUYASHA COME BACK, I LOVE YOU! INUYASHA! COME BACK!" Kagome screamed not caring about how she must have looked at that moment. Kagome leaned her head against the glass and banged don it multiple times. "I love you Inuyasha!" Kagome carried on saying as she slid down to the floor. She was too late, he was gone, he was gone.

"Kagome."

Kagome's eyes widened and as she turned around she saw a pair of amber eyes staring at her. His breathing seeming harsh and out of breath. She couldn't believe it. She couldn't, was Inuyasha really there? But didn't his... "Inuyasha." Kagome said quietly, almost scared that if she said it any louder he would disappear. Kagome stood up on shaky legs, one hand on the glass supporting her as the other was slowly outstretching towards him. "Inuyasha...how?"

Inuyasha was out of breath as he slowly walked forward "I couldn't do it Kagome. I couldn't." Inuyasha said as he carried on walking albeit slowly.

Kagome shook her head slowly "B-but...why? I thought you...Jaykotsu told me that...that-"

"I couldn't leave Kagome. I couldn't do it. It didn't feel right, I felt lost, empty. I couldn't do it." Inuyasha's gaze focused on her eyes more as he stopped inches away from her. Wanting nothing more than to kiss her as he smelt that scent he missed dearly, the aura and vibrance, the heat her body gave of being near his.

Kagome felt the same, as she looked into his eyes, his cologne and his natural musky scent filling her nose, her face contorting in confusion once more however much she wanted to jump on him, she was still confused. "But...didn't you want to...go to...New York?"

Inuyasha sighed and shook his head "No, I only agreed because I wanted to forget you. Because you teared me up inside. Your memories, our memories, they pained my heart, they plagued my mind too much. Being in that school made it worse, I had to leave. But when I was on that plane, I knew then that I couldn't just forget about you that easily. I knew that I was making a mistake, I should have heard your story, but you have to understand I was so angry and betrayed." Inuyasha said, never breaking eye contact with her, wanting her to see just how much he had missed her.

Kagome nodded and kept her hold on his eyes "Inuyasha, the reason I went to that school, was because when Koga dumped me...I felt heartbroken, torn and betrayed. I just wanted to pay him back fro the humiliation he had caused me. He called me weak, giggly, not serious. I wanted to prove him wrong. I couldn't get near him as Kagome so..." Kagome bit her bottom lip as she looked down twiddling her thumbs, this is what she needed to say and she was bloody well going to say it.

"I thought that the only way to get close was to pretend I was a guy and enter Fukuoka High. I thought that maybe if I be-friended him, then I could show him that someone as small as me, whether boy or girl, could be just as strong and serious as any other girl. However, you were so nice to me You treated me with such kindess, you were my friend...my first friend at that school. Being around you made me feel comfortable, protected, and in a way I was able to be myself again. I loved out practices int he morning because they took my attention away from Koga. The times we spent together were like liquid gold to me. I felt warm and comforted around you, your scent, your voice, your conversations, everything intrigued me." Kagome looked up into his eyes, noticing that his own were widening a little however his body still had not moved.

Kagome looked back down before carrying on "When we started to get closer, and you told me about your dreams, your family, I knew then that Kauzki was your best friend, that I was your best friend, that I could be there for you emotionally instead of physically. That I could be a wall to protect you. Soon I forgot all about Koga, the reason why I was there in the first place. I had forgotten all about the anger, the frustration and the hatred in me. And when you bumped into Kagome...me and Sango in the festival, at that moment when you said I caught your attention, I wanted to turn around, I didn't want to hurt you. But I was selfish, I loved the attention you gave me, not Kazuki, but me. I loved how I could allow my girly side to be revealed. Inuyasha the moment I saw you in our dorm for the first time, you already had my attention, when we had a serious discussion about our past you had my respect, and when we first kissed, you had my heart. I love you Inuyasha, I started loving you ever since you met Kagome not Kazuki. My feelings were finally revealed and I felt so happy when you told me you felt the same way. I hated it though, I regretted every single minute knowing that while I was enjoying our moment together, you would undoubtedly suffer after realising who I was." Kagome said taking a deep breath.

She looked up a little before looking back down "I understand if you don't want to ever see me again, but I had to let you know my intentions, I had to tell you the truth, I couldn't ...I couldn't ..."

"Kagome do you know the main reason why I didn't fly on that plane?" Inuyasha asked his breath mingling with hers.

Kagome took in a shaky breath as she answered quietly "Why..."

Inuyasha saw a tear roll down Kagome's cheek and slowly raise a hand to rub her cheek getting rid of the salt, before leaning his forehead against hers. Kagome was shocked and confused, but loved it regardless. Inuyasha purred slightly as his demon was sedated with her scent.

"Because I love you."

Kagome gasped. Off course she had heard him say it countless of times before. However she never thought that he still had...still could... "Inuyasha?" Kagome asked confused.

Inuyasha gave a small smile and bent down allowing his lips to graze hers. "I love you Kagome, leaving you would be the worst mistake of my life. I knew there must have been a reason behind your mask, but no matter how much I tired to hate you I couldn't. Your the only girl for me Kagome, and if I had left, I would have instantly flown back on another plan straight back to Japan and run after you. Instead though I see that you had done the honours." Inuyasha said chuckling lightly, causing Kagome to shiver at the huskiness of his voice. Inuyasha pulled back a little as he pecked her cheek. "Your my world Kagome, I understand better now. But it will take some time to get over the fact that...Kazuki doesn't exist. And slowly but surely I will get over this, but for now, all I want is you."

And with that Inuyasha's arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her tightly into his embrace as hi slips smashed on hers. Kagome's eyes widened before she instantly closed them, her arms wrapping around his neck instantly. Inuyasha pressed harder into the kiss, ignoring the tears he shed as he finally rekindled the thirst of her taste, the desire to touch her, embrace her. Inuyasha opened and closed his mouth as did Kagome, and both teens basked in the moment. A moment that was theirs and would always be theirs. Inuyasha pulled back slowly, knowing that Kagome would need to breathe.

Kagome gasped slightly as she opened her eyes and stared into his amber coloured iris's. She smiled and cupped his cheeks before pecking his lips "Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming back to me Inuyasha. I love you, god I love you Inuyasha." Kagome said quietly against his neck as his arms were crushing her body into his.

Inuyasha kissed her neck as he sniffed her sccent and nuzzled, his demon finally happy also. Soon they separated and Inuyasha looked down at his watch, his eyes widened instantly. "Holy Shit!"

Kagome was confused "What's wrong Inu?" Kagome loved being able to say his nick name again. Inuyasha silently thinking the same thing.

"Kagome the game."

Kagome's eyes widened and soon she felt Inuyasha grab her hand and both soon ran threw the terminal into the main lobby and out the door of the airport. Both smiling and laughing as they hands were holding each others tightly.

And this time none would let go.

Well there you have it guy's :) Sorry I was busy and really stressed with mocks and upcoming ones in march, so revising revising revising. But anyway, I hope you are all happy with this chapter, I loved this chapter, because I have been waiting since the beginning to write this scene, and even though I know I had mixed emotions for the last chapter I am very grateful for reaching the 490 section! ^^ Seriously that's what made me finish and edit this chapter now at like 2am.
