Shikon Cruise
Re-united
Last Time on Shikon Cruise
When the guys were boarded on the bus, InuYasha finally showed up, quiet and un-responding. Koga tried to joke to cheer him up but he merely shrugged him off and scowled. Miroku came over and sat next to him, Sesshomaru behind him.
"She said she'd call you when she got home…" Sesshomaru said, InuYasha grunted and turned, looking to the window as the scenery passed by. Miroku sighed and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"You'll see her again, I know you will." He said before leaning back. They didn't talk the rest of the way. InuYasha stayed quiet and when he got home to his dorm room, he was greeted by his answer machine. It had one message.
He clicked the button and listened to the familiar voice.
"Hey, Yasha, it's Kagome…duh. I just…wanted to call and make sure you got home safe, uhm…Call me when you get home." The beep ended the message. InuYasha frowned at the message and erased it before running up to his room and slamming the door shut. Sesshomaru stood by the door, shaking his head before closing the door behind him.
Present Time on Shikon Cruise
Kagome sat in class, holding her pen in her right hand as she tried to focus on what Mrs. Yamata was teaching. It had been 3 weeks since the cruise and InuYasha hadn't called her back. When she went to hang out with the group on Sunday, the guys shrugged their shoulders uncomfortably and said they didn't know what was up. Sesshomaru refused to look her in the eyes and Miroku just looked away, shrugging.
Kagome sighed as she played with her pen; Sango poked her and asked what was wrong. Kagome just shook her head and smiled, saying she was tired. She had called InuYasha a few days after the cruise, still he hadn't answered. She called him yesterday and Sesshomaru picked up…
Flash back
"Hello?" Sesshomaru's voice sounded through the phone, Kagome perked up finally getting an answer.
"Sesshomaru!" She smiled brightly, there was a pause before an awkward hey was said.
"Are you…calling on Kagura's cell?" Sesshomaru asked hesitantly. Kagome sighed. She knew it, they were screening her calls.
"Yes. Sesshomaru what's going on? Why has InuYasha been ignoring me? Why have you been ignoring me? Did he meet someone else? Just tell me!" Kagome all but screamed. She was tired of the guys changing the subject every time she asked; she was tired of e-mailing InuYasha only to never get a reply. She was tired and she wanted to know what was going on.
"...Kagome, please, just believe me InuYasha's having a hard time. I can't say anymore, please, just…wait a while longer." And with that the line went dead. Kagome had angrily shut the phone as she felt tears streaming down her cheeks.
End of Flash Back
Kagome huffed thinking about it. She sighed and stared back at Mrs. Yamata who seemed extra pleased this day. She clapped her hands suddenly and smiled.
"Class! I have some excellent news! Tomorrow night, we're going to have a semi-prom!" She smiled happily. Kagome rolled her eyes and put her head on the desk, before Kilala voiced her thoughts.
"So what? We're just gonna dance with each other? Oooh how fun…" She said sarcastically as she tilted her chair back. Mrs. Yamata glared.
"Noo, you little ungrateful brats. You get to invite a date!" She said. The class went quiet before the girls jumped up in laughter and cheers. Kagome stayed still, closing her eyes as she shook her head, not caring. Sango and Kagura made their way over to Kagome as the girls were chatting. Ayame and Kilala were on the desk, dancing and laughing as some other girls did the same.
"Hey, Kagome! This would be an awesome time to call InuYasha! I'm sure he'd come." Kagura smiled. Kagome looked up, her eyes slightly watered.
"Yeah…we'll all have a grand old time." And with that she stood up, picking up her books as she headed to her locker leaving her friends worried.
"Damn InuYasha…" Sango cursed. Kagura shook her head slightly as Ayame and Kilala came asking what was wrong.
"Just…trust him; he may be hurting to…"
Kagura said before they all left to go home, seeing Kagome had already gone to her dorm room.
Guys
"InuYasha, damn it stop moping around! We have a party tomorrow, won't that be good?" Koga asked, sitting on InuYasha's home bed. InuYasha lay there, staring at the ceiling not saying anything. Miroku came through the door with Shippo and Sesshomaru behind him.
"Dude I haven't seen your house in forever!" Miroku tried to cheer him up, InuYasha closed his eyes.
"Yeah well ever since the school—"
"Hey, have you called Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked, trying to get back on subject. Miroku shot him a glare which he ignored.
"No…" And as if on queue, the phone started ringing, they didn't get up, knowing InuYasha would let the machine get it.
"Hey…uh, InuYasha, it's me again, Kagome. Uhm…there's this thing…tomorrow, and well...uhm, call me ok? I'll tell you all about it…" There was a long pause before they all heard a deep breath being taken.
"I love you." And then there was a beep. Miroku finally had enough as he got on the bed and shook InuYasha's collar.
"What's wrong with you man?! After yesterday, and what's going to happen with the school, shouldn't you finally call her?! I mean I know before you had a reason, you didn't want to hurt, but now you don't have to hurt! CALL HER!" Miroku growled, InuYasha opened his eyes, placing his hands on Miroku's, he answered,
"I want to surprise her." He said. Miroku glared before sighing and feeling his anger slip away.
"You better surprise her real good then." Miroku smirked at him.
Girls
Kagome hung up the phone and sighed as she lay on her back. She snuggled into her bed and rolled over.
Tomorrow night was the party…she'd have to pick something to wear. She walked to her closet and pulled out the dress InuYasha had bought for her from when they were pretending to be engaged. Kagome smiled at the memory as she laid the dress out, picking out some black strappy heels and a simple black necklace she got into bed, pulling the covers over her she closed her eyes, waiting for sleep to take her over.
Sango crept into the room and sighed as she saw Kagome already asleep. She wanted to talk to her about InuYasha but she just shook her head and got into her own bed, looking over at Kagome she smiled,
"You'll be ok…" Sango whispered and drifted to sleep.
Day of the party
"Oh did you hear?" A girl asked her friend.
"What?"
"Oh there was a big fire in a school by---"
"Kagome!" Kilala burst into the room. Kagome blinked and looked up. Her friends suddenly surrounded her smiling brightly.
"So…you're coming tonight right?!" Ayame asked. Kagome tilted her head before shrugging her shoulders.
"InuYasha hasn't called back…so, I don't know…" Kagome shrugged her shoulders and laid her head on her desk. Kagura and Sango looked to each other biting their lips.
"Kagome…you HAVE TO COME!" Kilala pleaded desperately. Kagome raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
"Uh…because…you haven't been the same since we got back! Please? Just this one night!" Ayame quickly spat out. Kagome tilted her head but sighed.
"Fine, I'll go…" the girls jumped up and cheered before Sango and Kagura left. Sango flipped out her cell phone and dialled Miroku's number.
"Hello?" His voice sounded through, Sango looked around before whispering.
"Operation: Get Kagome to the dance is a go!" She said before hanging up on him, Kagura and Sango went back to back, the hands in the shape of guns as they walked back to the class rooms,
"We are awesome spies." Kagura smirked.
Guys
"Uh…" Miroku looked at his phone as he sighed, chuckling he hung up.
"Who was that?" InuYasha asked, getting his stuff as the school bell rang.
"Sango. The plans on." He smirked, InuYasha smirked and nodded his head as they rushed down the hall to go get changed.
That night
Kagome sat staring at herself in the mirror. She looked amazing in her dress, but she was still so sad. InuYasha hadn't called, he hadn't e-mailed and he just wasn't coming. She sighed, putting her heels on as she walked out the door, her hair was let down loose, she didn't wear any make-up. She was greeted by Sango, Miroku, Ayame, Koga, Kilala, Shippo, Kagura and Sesshomaru.
"Kagome!" They all cheered. The guys were wearing suits, as usual, Sango had on a simple light pink dress, which came to her mid calves, her hair was down and she was smiling holding Miroku's hand. Kilala had on a light yellow knee length dress, her hair was up in a pony tail, holding onto Shippo. Ayame was wearing a lavender dress that was flowing to the floor, her hair in her usual pig tails, holding onto Koga's arm. Kagura had on a bright red dress with a slant cut, her hair let down her back as she was holding Sesshomaru's hand.
"Hey guys!" Kagome smiled brightly, hugging the girls. The guys smiled and hugged her individually.
"It's been a while!" Koga smiled as he went back to Ayame.
"Dude…it's only been like, 5 days?" Shippo pointed out. Koga turned around and glared before they all made their way to the party room. Kagome lingered behind, watching as they laughed and held each other. She looked down sadly as she felt her heart tighten in loneliness.
As they made their way in, Kagome smiled at the beautiful decorations. Streamers flew across the room, balloons floating around and the music was blaring. Kagome sat at the table with the others. The first slow song started and they looked to Kagome, she smiled brightly and shoed them all off, sitting there she sighed feeling like a loser.
"God…this sucks." She whispered to herself as she sat back. After the song ended, the lights went off in the gym. Everyone was shocked, except for Kagome's group. Kagome looked around, wondering what was going on before there was a spot light at the stage. Everyone went quiet before seeing InuYasha appear. Kagome gasped as she stood up, looking at him. He looked to her and smiled.
"Hey guys. I wanted to be the one to break the news…the boys school burnt down about 2 days ago, and we're all…uh…sad? Yeah…sure….anyways, so this all girl's school is turning into a public school and us boys are moving over here!" He shouted as the girls jumped up, looking at their boyfriends and screaming.
"YES!" Was the loudest word yelled through out the gym. Sango, Kilala, Kagura and Ayame looked at the guys who shrugged and smirked as they launched themselves at the guys.
"Anyways, as good as that is…" InuYasha started, this time, turning his whole body to Kagome.
"Kagome, I'm sorry I've been avoiding you, but I was scared to think that it wouldn't work out. I'm sorry for hurting you, do you forgive me?" InuYasha asked, everyone turned to Kagome who stood still looking into his eyes she nodded her head as her eyes watered. InuYasha smirked and jumped off the stage, running over to Kagome he picked her up and kissed her deeply. The girls 'awed' as the guys 'whooped.'
"I love you Kagome, and I'm so sorry for avoiding you, but now we have all the time in the world." She smiled and leaned up, kissing his lips and holding him close as a slow song started again, the couple made their way to the dance floor and danced to the slow beat.
"We are so amazing." Sango said as the group nodded their heads, watching InuYasha and Kagome dance.
Behind the crowd of students, Mr and Mrs. Yamata smirked at each other discreetly.
"Caustic chemicals in the science lab?" Mrs. Yamata raised an eyebrow. Mr. Yamata smirked and nodded his head.
"Of course."
It all started with a cruise. Sango and Miroku had gotten married two years after college graduation, they had tough times but they still made it. Ayame and Koga got married a few months after them, and they have a kid on the way. Kilala and Shippo had broken up…and gotten back together…3 times, before they finally decided to get engaged. Kagura and Sesshomaru had gotten married a year after college graduation, and had a kid already.
And InuYasha and Kagome? They were the first to marry. Right after High school, they have been married happily for 7 years; they had a 4 year old daughter named Sakura Takahashi. And they couldn't be happier.
They went through a lot, they fought for their love and in the end they made it out with a happy ever after. All thanks to a simple cruise…Shikon Cruise.
