Sango and Miroku sat and chatted away as they sat in the cafeteria, eating lunch. However, at the same time they were looking at the poor, depressed hanyou that sulked and stood quiet from the corner of their eyes.
They stopped talking and sighed. They turned to face Inuyasha, who just looks like he's in a daze. His eyes in so much pain and suffering, yet they held hope in them.
Sango's face softened. She feels sorry for the hanyou. She turned to Miroku, who, also, has a face of pity.
"Inuyasha?" she called out, gently.
Inuyasha didn't seem to pay any attention at all. He just continued to stay in a daze. But Sango won't leave him alone.
"Inuyasha!" she yelled, hoping she would get his attention.
Which she did since the hanyou blinked and faced her with a bored face.
"What?" he asked rather annoyed.
Sango sighed. "Are you okay? You seem kind of . . .I don't know. . .distant?" she wasn't sure what to say but seeing him in such a vulnerable state was just. . .well. . .annoying and depressing.
Inuyasha shrugged. "Gees, I don't know Sango. You tell me if I'm okay. I mean I haven't even talked to my mate for two fucking months! Do you think I'm okay?" he growled.
Sango glared at him and was about to retort but Miroku jumped in first.
"Inuyasha, she was just asking you if you were okay. Don't blame her if she's worrying and concern about you. And don't be bitching at her either cause I never bitch at your women that you have," Miroku said in a calm voice.
Inuyasha buried his head in his hand and sighed. He looked at Sango and she still looked pretty angry at him. He bit his lips. All this not being with Kagome and his soon-to-be-born pup is driving him crazy. But then again it part of his fault for saying he will wait and not even trying to get her back. There hasn't been a day that he hasn't think about her. A night that he hasn't dream about her. Sometimes he cries himself to sleep. And just seeing her and not being able to kiss, hold, touch, or even talk to her kills him so much.
"I'm sorry, Sango. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that," he said.
Sango shook her head. "Nah, it's cool. I shouldn't get all mad about. It's not your fault," she said softly.
Inuyasha sighed and excuse himself from the table. He threw away his tray, left the cafeteria, and went wandering around the school.
All his thoughts went directly to Kagome. He groaned. God, he misses her.
'But I told her I'll wait,' he reminded himself.

One month later. . .
She couldn't believe it.
This day.
This day!
"I'm graduating," she whispered as she sat in the auditorium in front of millions of people.
Well. ..not millions, but there was a lot of them here.
Why she is nervous, she doesn't know herself?
Kagome told herself theirs is nothing to e nervous about since she has been on stage before.
She's strong.
She's confident.
She's ready.
"Kagome Higurashi," said the principle of the school.
Kagome could of sworn she was going to have a nervous break down when she heard her name. 'Oh god!' she screamed to herself. They called her name! Her!
She timidly stood up and walked slowly like she practice to the principle.
'Breathe Kagome,' she said to calm herself down, 'Breathe.'
She put on a smile and extended her hand to grab her diploma and the other hand she gave the principle a firm hand shake.
She was happy and she didn't care about the looks people gave her or the look in the principle's eye. It was the look of disapproval.
But Kagome didn't care.
She finished high school.
And she was happy.
When she turned back to walk to her seat, she saw it.
How she was drawn to it, she didn't know. But she saw it.
His eyes.
Those amber eyes staring at her.
Kagome was thankful that her back was faced to the audience because her smile faded and she bit her lips.
She walked back slowly. Her gaze stuck on his gaze.
The emotions she saw in them.
Pain.
Hope.
Love.
He was begging her to come back.
To come now.
He needs her.
Kagome turned her head back , sat down, and fought the tears that were forming in her ocean eyes.
'What have I done?' she thought. 'It's been too long. He's been suffering because of me.'
She looked down and sighed, shakily. Funny, how she was just happy a minute ago and now she's in a state of heartache.
She shook her head.
'Not now,' she told herself. 'Not now.'
She looked up and found her mom and Souta waving at her, happily.
She forced a smile.
She will try to be happy.
Then after this she will return in the world of agony and pain.

"Kagome I'm so happy for you," Mrs. Higurashi said happily. She wiped tears from her eyes. Her first born graduated from high school.
Kagome just smiled. "Thanks mom," she said with a fake voice.
However, it went unnoticed by her mother. And she was thankful for it.
But her brother. . .
He pulled her into a hug.
"You're such a bad actor," he whispered in her ear and puled away. He gave her a smile and helped her to get inside the car.
Mrs. Higurashi drove them to a fancy restaurant to celebrate.
Kagome stood quiet, staring out the window.
She, her mother, and Souta will go to a fancy restaurant and celebrate. She didn't want a big party. She's too tired for that right now. So she suggested to go out and eat.
She smiled to herself when she just remembered Hiten is going to be there at the restaurant. She was kind of upset when he didn't show up at the ceremony, but she trust he'll show up at the restaurant.
'Maybe it was work,' she told herself.
Her smile widened when she saw the restaurant appear closer and closer.

They all stood quiet. Not knowing what to say next. They already ordered and ate.
Kagome frowned and stood up.
"Let's go," she said a little disappointed.
Souta shrugged and stood up. But then he let out a loud burp. He noticed a lot of people staring at him with a disapproving look.
"Ah, shut up! Like you guys don't burp," he said loud.
"Well I certainly do not!" yelled an old man across the room.
Souta frowned, and waved a fist in the air. "Hey, old man, Shut up! Why don't you just drop dead already? Isn't your expiration date due?" he yelled and many people gasped at his rude behavior.
Mrs. Higurashi laughed nervously and stood up dragging her kids along with her.
Everyone in the restaurant stood quiet.
"They didn't pay their bill!" a waiter yelled, but it was too late since the family of three left the parking lot.

Kagome sighed as she entered her room.
She sat on her bed and closed her eyes.
"Kagome?" she heard.
She turned to see her mother standing at the door way.
"I'm sure he has a reason for not coming," she said gently.
Kagome shrugged. "He did tell me if he can since work is pretty busy this time of year."
Mrs. Higurashi just nodded and left.
Kagome shook her head. She should be happy, not sad. So what if Hiten didn't came? She just graduated from high school!
Then the phone rang.
She quickly jumped off the bed and picked up the phone on her night stand.
"Hello?" she said, hoping she didn't sound to excited.
"Is this Ms. Kagome Higurashi?"
Kagome furrowed her brows. "This is she."
She heard a sigh on the other line. "I'm sorry to bother you, miss, but you have to come to the hosptital."
Kagome was now confused. "Why?"
"It's Hiten. He's in a very difficult state and he asked for you."
Kagome felt her body go numb. "H-h-hiten?" she managed to say.
"Yes and can you please come?"
"Y-y-es, of course," she said.
She wrote down the address that the doctor gave her and ran downstairs.
"Kagome, is everything okay?" her mother asked. Her daughter just bursted into the kitchen.
Kagome let out a sob and wiped the tears that she didn't know that fell down her face. "Mom," she called out.
Mrs. Higurashi immediately ran to her daughter's side. "Honey, what's wrong?' she asked urgently.
Kagome shook her head slowly. "Hiten is in the hospital. I need you to take me there, please" she begged.
All Mrs. Higurashi could do is nod.

"Where is he?" Kagome yelled as she ran inside the hospital.
"Miss, please calm down," one of the nurses said.
"Where is Hiten?" she asked again.
The nurse quickly went behind her desk and search for a Hiten. She looked up at Kagome. "He's in room 507, in the fifth floor. . . .Miss!. . .WAIT!"
But Kagome didn't listen. She ran up the stairs to the fifth floor and searched for room 507.
Her heart clenched when she did find it.
Room 507.
She hopes it isn't scary seeing someone you care for so much in wires like she has heard. She walked slowly to the door and opened it slowly.
She held her breath. Tears immediately fell down her cheeks.
What she saw tore her heart into little pieces.
She wasn't crying about the wires around Hiten.
She was crying because Hiten looked so weak and fragile.
His skin so pale. He looks pasty. His eyes looked weary and tired. His lips so dry.
When he heard the door open, he turned to see Kagome in a beautiful dress standing there crying.
He smiled weakly. "I hope those are tears of happiness since you graduated," he said in a dry, weak, voice.
Kagome immediately ran to his side. She hugged him, tight, but not so tight because she's afraid she'll hurt him.
She looked at him. His eyes may look tired, but you could still see his life passion in them.
"Hiten. . ."she whispered.
Hiten wiped her tears away and stoke her hair.
"I have to go," he whispered, painfully. He felt tears in his eyes, too. But he wouldn't let them fall.
Kagome let out a sob. She shook her head. "No. . .please. . .stay," she begged between her cries.
Hiten sighed. "I'm sorry," he whispered.
Kagome shook her head. "No! No! Please don't go! I need you with me!" she kept begging.
"You need Inuyasha with you," he whispered sadly.
Kagome froze. Her heart beat faster and faster.
Hiten chuckled. "He really needs you. I saw him not to long ago before I came here. He really looks torn, Kags and he needs his mate. So stop running away and go with him."
Kagome felt hot tears run again. "H-h-hiten?"
Hiten sighed. "It's true. Kagome, I'm dying, and let's just say you made my life so much better. It's my time to go now. And now you have to go back with Inuyasha. Yes, there will be some issues between you guys cause the statues thing but who doesn't have problems in their relationships? You still love him and he loves you. You're pregnant," he chuckled. "And fat. But my time is done. Stop running away and face reality," he said firmly.
Kagome hold on to him tighter. She didn't know what to say.
Hiten bit his lips. "I'll be there for you. I'll always will. Just smile for me. . .please."
Kagome gulped.
She stared into Hiten's eyes and he was begging her.
She wiped her tears and tried her best to smile.
Hiten, himself, smiled. "That's the way I want you to be."
Kagome chuckled. "I look like crap," she said.
Hiten shook his head. "You look beautiful."
Kagome's face softened.
Hiten smiled. But this wasn't a weak smile. This was a smile of happiness and joy.
"I love you, Kagome."
Kagome gasped.
And then his eyes closed and the beep went by.
Kagome closed her eyes. She let out a sob and shook her head.
She hold on him tighter when she heard nurses and doctors coming in the room. They tried to calm her down and pull her away.
"It hurts," she whispered.
One of the nurses nodded. "I know, honey, but please don't cry," she soothed.
Kagome shook her head. "No, it hurts," she said as she clutched her stomach.
The nurse looked down and gasped. She immediately ran to one of the doctors.
Kagome almost fell to her knees, but the doctors and nurses ran and grabbed her before she touched the floor.
She was bleeding.
And she fainted.
