The Ultimate Sacrifice

It was June 27th. InuYasha and his friends had finally got out of high school for the summer. They had plans to hang out right after school, and after getting together, they headed to the park down the street.

"Can you belive that school is FINALLY over!?" Sango exclaimed, raising her hands to the sky, breathing in the fresh air. Kagome started to giggle uncontrolably, and Sango joined her.

"We have to hang out all the time! I don't want us to become distint." Miroku said.

"Don't worry about that, I'll make sure we don't." InuYasha smirked and then he put his hands behind his neck in a laid-back posture. Kagome's face brightend up and she stood in front of him.

"You would do that?" she smiled as he nodded. "That's great! How about we all go to the movies tomorrow?"

Everyone nodded their heads and smiled. The group talked about what they could do together for the summer, and didn't realize they had talked for almost two hours.

"I have to go now. I'm supposed to babysit my brother because my mom is going to be at work late." Kagome informed, and hugged all her friends before she started walking home. Sango left for her home soon after, and Miroku didn't live far from InuYasha, so they walked home together. Soon, they reached his house, and they said their good-byes. InuYasha continued down the street to his house.

"Hello?" he called after he opened the front door to his home. When he didn't get a reply, he locked the door and took his bag off and dropped it on the ground. He looked around the kitchen and found nobody in there. "Hello? Is anybody home?"

He heard something in the living room, and walked into it. He found his mother sitting on the couch, holding a piece of paper with a envalope beside her. She was covering her mouth with her hand and tears flowed down her face. "Mom!"

She looked up at him with puffy red eyes and a fresh coat of tears covered the old ones. He quickly went and knelt in front of her, asking what was wrong. She just cried even more as she handed him the piece of paper she had.

"This following letter is from the Tokyo Force 235 of Japan. Our forces are low and in need of new recruits as soon as possible. Your son has reached the age of sixteen and older and is to be sent away A.S.A.P. Unless he is disabled in any way, all complaints will be ignored. Thank you for your help..." InuYasha read, then looked at his weeping mother.

"I just got it today.." she started. "Your friend Miroku's mom has got it too, and I'm sure all the boys in your grade have it."

InuYasha couldn't belive it! He was going to be sent away to a soldier camp! He gave his mother the letter back and ran up the stares to his room. Once he got there, he pulled out his cell phone and quickly dialed up Miroku's number.

(On the phone)

Miroku: Hello?

InuYasha: Miroku.

Miroku: Oh, InuYasha! I have lots to say.

InuYasha: Yeah, I know, I got the letter too.

Miroku: Isn't that rediculus!?

InuYasha: Tell me about it! How are we ever going to tell Kagome and Sango?

Miroku: I don't know..

InuYasha: ...

Miroku: InuYasha? Are you there?

InuYasha: ..Yeah..

Miroku: Well, I'm going to tell Sango the news. Why don't you tell Kagome?

InuYasha: I will. Talk to ya later Miroku.

Miroku: Bye InuYasha.

InuYasha closed the cell and stared at the ceiling for a minute or two, before re-opening the phone and dialing Kagome's number.

Kagome: Hey InuYasha!

InuYasha: ..Hey Kagome

Kagome: What's up?

InuYasha: Well..I have some bad news..

Kagome: What's wrong?

InuYasha: ..Well..

Kagome: InuYasha..

InuYasha: Miroku and I both got letters..

Kagome: What did they say?

InuYasha: We wont be here for the summer...

Kagome: Where are you going?

InuYasha: ...Camp..

Kagome: Is it an all boys camp? Do you have to learn about the wild and how to live in it?

InuYasha: Not exactly..

Kagome: Then what kind of camp is it?

InuYasha: ...

Kagome: (gasps) YOU WHAT?!

Kagome: You can't...

InuYasha: I have to go, bye Kagome.

Kagome: ..Oh..alright..I'll see you later..I guess..bye..

InuYasha: Bye.

He snapped the phone shut and closed his eyes. He didn't like it when she got upset, and he knew she was probably crying right now. His thoughts we're inturrupted by his phone ringing.

InuYasha: Hello?

Sango: InuYasha! Miroku just told me about the letters. Why does fate have to be so crule!?

InuYasha: ..I don't know...

Sango: When do you have to leave?

InuYasha: Within two days...

Sango: THAT SOON!?

InuYasha: Your not helping...

Sango: I'm sorry..

InuYasha: If Miroku phones you, tell him to call me. I have to cheer my mother up.

Sango: Okay, bye InuYasha.

InuYasha: Bye Sango.

He closed the phone and stuffed it into his back pocket as he headed down to comfort his mother. He noticed her in the kitchen, chopping some red peppers. She usually cooked when she was upset.

"Mother.." he started, and she looked down, tears covering her face once again. He walked over and hugged her from behind, and one of her hands touched his arm.

"InuYasha..." she weeped. "When you are out there, please be careful..for my sake, and your own."

"I know." he replied. They stood there hugging for a while, before InuYasha's phone rang. He exscused himself and answered it.

Miroku: Hey InuYasha, you wanted me to call?

InuYasha: Yeah, I want you to come to my house tomorrow. We can leave together, seeing as the rest of our friends and family won't be coming..

Miroku: Is your mother okay? I can hear her crying..

InuYasha: Shes going to call your mom.

Miroku: Okay.

InuYasha: Anyways..I'll see you tomorrow.

Miroku: Alright, bye.

InuYasha: Bye.

InuYasha hung up and walked into the living room. He seen his mother talking on the phone, so he walked up the stairs to his room and layed down on his bed. He stared at the ceiling for a while, then rolled over to his side.

This can't be happening...
