Chapter 2: Memories
Inuyasha was lying on his bed, thinking about him and Kagome. 'It sure has been a long time… I can remember how we met like it was yesterday…'
Flashback;
13 years ago…
There was a small hanyou child with silver hair, currently being beat up by some older youkai bullies. "You filthy half-breed! You don't belong here!" they yelled during their punching and kicking. The young child just sat, quiet, not wanting to give them the pleasure of hearing him scream and cry.
"HEY! You big bullies! Leave that boy alone!" Inuyasha saw a small girl about his age in a green dress, glowing a blue color. "OH CRAP! Let's run! That girl's a miko!" The youkai ran, not wanting to be purified.
"Are you okay?" asked the young girl. "Feh, whatever…" Inuyasha simply replied. "HEY! I saved you and all you did was say 'feh'? My mommy says that it's polite to say thank you to people who help you!" the girl yelled, angry. Inuyasha mumbled something inaudible, causing the small female to ask, "What did you say? Don't mumble…"
"I said THANK YOU, are you happy!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"Yeppers! Well, I'm Kagome. What's your name?" Kagome asked with a smile.
"I'm Inuyasha…" Inuyasha said, suddenly turning shy and blushing because of her smile.
"Well, hi Inuyasha! Do you wanna be my best friend? 'Cause I don't have any friends…" Kagome said, crestfallen.
"Sure, I don't have any friends either," Inuyasha answered.
"COOL! Wanna come play with me at the sandbox?"
"Okay," he said happily, glad he had a friend now.
End Flashback
'Those were some fun times…' Inuyasha thought, 'but of course, she had to move that one day…' Inuyasha was 15 and Kagome was 14 when she found out she had to move to Kyoto to take care of her grandfather's shrine, the family shrine.
Flashback
Kagome ran to Inuyasha's mansion, crying after the news she found out. Her mother had told her that they needed to move to Kyoto to take care of her grandfather's shrine, since he passed away a few months ago.
She rang the doorbell, waiting for the butler, Myouga to open up the enormous mansion doors.
Myouga opened the door, and came to the sight of a teary-faced Kagome. "What's wrong, Miss Kagome?"
Kagome sniffed. "Is… is Inuyasha home, Myouga?"
"Yes, he's in his room…" Myouga said a bit worried.
"Th-thank you," Kagome ran up the long flight up stairs, up the door of Inuyasha's room she knew so well.
She went into the room, and was once again filled with sadness. She would really miss this room… It was big, about five times her bedroom; which was fairly big. It had two red walls, and two black walls, with a big king-sized bed on the right side of the room. He had a big, HUGE flat-screen television connected to the wall, a desk with a computer that hasn't even come out yet(courtesy of his dad) and Inuyasha lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
Inuyasha noticed Kagome coming in, just standing there as if taking in his room in her memory. He instantly became worried.
"Hey Kags, is there something wrong? Why are you crying?" Inuyasha said, walking up to take her into his embrace.
Kagome just sobbed for a while, and when it died down, she said, "I have to move to Kyoto…"
"What! Why!" Inuyasha said, distressed that his best friend would be moving away.
Kagome explained Inuyasha her situation about her grandfather passing away, and her family having to take care of his shrine.
"…When are you going…?" Inuyasha said sadly.
Kagome sniffed again, "In 2 weeks," she said, still in his embrace.
Inuyasha just responded by hugging her even tighter, and said "I'm going to miss you a lot…"
"Me too… but I promise I'll get back to Tokyo someday!" Kagome yelled, suddenly happy at that thought.
Inuyasha chuckled and hugged her again. "You better, Kags."
"Of course, Inu-kun!" Kagome giggled out.
During the next 2 weeks, Kagome and Inuyasha spent as much time together until she had to move. On that day, Inuyasha went with her to the airport and said goodbye, and couldn't wait until she could come back again…
End Flashback
'And now she is coming back! After 3 years!' Inuyasha thought so happily. They had kept contact over those three long years, through letters, phone, e-mail, or just simply instant messaging. There wasn't a day they hadn't talked together.
The Next Day
"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BE—"Inuyasha slammed on his alarm clock and threw it across the room. The alarm clock crashed against the wall, making Touga yell at his son for breaking yet another alarm clock this morning.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever…" Inuyasha groaned. 'WHY do I have to go to school…?' He sighed. He got up from the silky sheets of his bed and went to the bathroom, stripping off his clothes and taking a quick shower. After he finished, he wrapped a towel around his waist, came out of the steamy bathroom and went into his giant walk-in closet in search of clothes for the day.
He appeared again, this time wearing baggy blue jeans, an oversized red t-shirt that had the logo 'Ecko' and some white Nike Air Forces. He let his doggy ears free and his hair down, as usual. He ran down the stairs to his kitchen, where the chef was making breakfast; or rather for Inuyasha, Ramen Noodles, and his all-time favorite food. He practically inhaled his food, and went out the door to his glossy black 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
In the car, he then remembered that Kagome was going to come this weekend. Inuyasha emerged from the car and walked towards the school entrance, where his friends, Sango and Miroku, who were talking.
Sango was a tall, 18 year old girl with long dark brown hair that reached mid-back. She wore a magenta colored shirt that said 'Don't mess with me' in white letters, and matching magenta eye shadow to bring out her caramel brown colored eyes. She had tight blue jeans and wore white and pink Etnies. Sango is considered as a tomboy for only hanging out with guys, but inside she really was a bit girly.
Miroku was an attractive guy, with black hair long enough to put into a little rat's tail at the nape of his neck. He wore a tight purple muscle shirt and some black jeans that fit just right. On his feet were a pair of all-black Timberlands. He was a bit—okay, A LOT—of a pervert.
Miroku's hand seemed to be trailing a little TOO close down Sango's waist…
Miroku slowly made his hand down to Sango's rear, then actually touching it.
Sango tensed, and then became red with rage. "YOU PERVERT!" She yelled at Miroku, and gave him a slap so hard that he had a red handprint on his cheek, and he was unconscious on the floor.
Inuyasha sweat dropped and couldn't help but think, 'I have such weird friends…' Nonetheless, he was still smiling like a big idiot when he thought of Kagome.
"So, Inuyasha, why are you smiling like a big idiot today?" Sango asked. By this time, Miroku awoke from his unconscious state. "Yes, why is that?"
"Well do you guys remember me talking about Kagome?" Inuyasha questioned.
"Why of course, you've been talking about her every single day," Sango said, smiling.
"Heh… well, she's coming back to Tokyo this weekend!" Inuyasha said, grinning all the while.
"Well, well I now get to meet this legendary Kagome Higurashi you've been talking about forever…" Miroku said.
After that was said and done, the bell rang and Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango went off to their respective homeroom classes.
