"Hey, wait up guys!" Souta shouted, trying to catch up to his sister and her boyfriend, Inuyasha.
"Ugh!" Kagome shouted. "Hurry up or quite complaining!"
"Go easy on him, Kagome." Inuyasha whispered.
He stopped, grabbing a hold of Kagome's right arm. Forcing her to stop and wait with him.
"Honestly, Inuyasha." Kagome scoffed. "I don't know why you do this. He's a stupid little kid! If he can't keep up then leave him. Besides…He's a loser."
"Then you go ahead." Inuyasha said.
"But…Augh!" She groaned. "Get the lead out!"
Ever since she asked him out, she became popular for nabbing the "hottest guy in school". She became popular, forsaking all whom are not at her level.
"Let's break up." Inuyasha said.
"What?" She shouted
"Hey," Souta said, panting.
"Hey, Souta." Inuyasha said. "You wanna ride?"
Souta's face lit up and his eyes sparkled as he said. "Yeah!"
Inuyasha squatted down, allowing Souta to grab a hold of his shoulders, as he looped his arms around his legs. Inuyasha stood and began running towards his house, which was next to the Higurashi's.

The sun was setting, the wind blew through the leaves. But two figures marred the peaceful night by bickering. One clad in red, the other still in her school uniform.
"What do you mean, 'let's break up'?" Kagome asked.
"I want to break up." Inuyasha said.
"Why?" She shouted.
"I love someone else." He said.
"Who?" She shouted louder. Hurting his ears.
"Do you really wanna know?" He asked, cocking his eyebrow.
"Is it Miho?" Kagome spat. "Oh my god, it is isn't it?"
"No." He said. "It's your brother."
"What?" She shouted. "But he's a guy…guy's don't…That's gross!"
She stormed off towards her back door. Slamming it shut, causing Inuyasha to wince.
Souta was sitting on the floor, watching Naruto. "Kiba, I miss Sasuke. Please make the pain go away."(1)
"You bastard!" Kagome shouted, kicking him in the back.
"You took mom away from me! And now my boyfriend!" She shouted between each kick. "You've! Ruined! My! Life!"
Souta got on his belly and tried to crawl away. But she jumped on top of him, beating his head with her fists, pulling his hair, and bouncing on his back.
"What did I do?" Souta cried out between the beatings.
"You're going to take away my popularity!" She screamed!
"Kagome!" Ms. Higurashi shouted. "Get off of your brother!"
She did not listen. She kept punching Souta.
"I said get off him!" Ms. Higurashi shouted, grabbing her from the back of her school shirt.
Kagome began to cry.
Souta began to crawl away to safety.

Souta sat on their porch, the moon shown down upon him in a gigantic crescent. He wrapped his arms around his bruised ribs, tears streaming down his eyes.
"What happened?" Inuyasha asked, jumping down from the tree that rested between their houses.
"My sister beat me up." He said, sniffling. "I don't know why she did it, I didn't do anything to her!"
He cried out in both pain and sadness. Inuyasha walked towards his young friend. He stopped and turned, sitting down next to his young friend. He wrapped his arm across the younger's back.
"I'm sorry, Souta." The hanyou said. "I'm so sorry."
"Why…Why are you…s…s…sorry?" Souta stuttered.
"I broke up with her." Inuyasha said, tears swelling in his eyes. "And I said I loved someone else."
Souta looked up at his hanyou friend.
"I told her I loved you."
Souta's eyes widened. He could not believe what he was hearing.
"Ever since you were three months old." He continued. "You said 'Yasha, ine'. No one else understood it. But I did. Yousaid 'Inuyasha, mine'."
Souta's eyes had gotten wider, his face growing red and hot.
"Of course I felt that it was wrong. But I told my parents, and they explained it. 'As long as it doesn't succeed nine years, and you do not force yourself on anyone; we'll accept it.'"
Inuyasha looked down at his friend, tears making his golden eyes shimmer. Souta's face was now completely red.
"Souta, what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked, worried that he had gotten worse after not looking at his wounds, or worse. He felt sick after his confession.
Souta fell forward, landing on his right cheek, leaving his body in an arc, he passed out.
In a panic, Inuyasha pick up the boy and ran inside the Higurashi household.
