Haven't Seen You In So Long. (Kagome's POV)

My heart feels as though it has been ripped out and stomped on a million times. Shuuichi hasn't returned any of my phone calls in five weeks and at school he always slips off to fast for me to even talk to him. I mean the most I've even seen of him in these long weeks is the back of his head.

Oh curse the day when humans were born and curse the day I fell in love. What's the point in love anyway, we all are just going to die in the end. Then why are humans even born? All we ever do it screw up on everything. Oh damn it now I know I'm depressed.

In health class last year we learned about many different ways you can tell if a person has depression and wouldn't you know it I think I am. Man, maybe I should just kill myself now then at least I would have to deal with the other stages of depression.

Wow Kagome, get a hold of yourself. You can't let just one guy destroy your whole life. We will get through this. Maybe with Inuyasha's help.

(Shuuichi's POV)

I truly hope Kagome isn't too mad at me for having to pass her by. I just can't have her worrying about me.

Just five weeks ago after joining Hiei's team my mother became very sick and I had to place her in the hospital. After school I would slip out of the classroom as fast as I could to go sit by my mother's bedside.

Two weeks after that Hiei had us steal sacred Sprit World artifacts. Hiei of course stole a sword called the Shadow Sword, which can turn a person into a mindless demon if cut with it. Gouki stole an orb called the Orb of Baast. As much as I do not wish to steal now that I am human I did however steal one priceless treasure, the Forlorn Hope.

The Forlorn Hope was a mirror that has the ability to grant wishes. This was the only thing I knew could save my mother but in return I would have to give up my life.

Hiei warned me of the consequences ahead of time but there was no stopping me, I had to save my mother and repay her for all her kindness.

Just as I was about to give up my life a young teenager named Yusuke Urameshi stopped me from dieing by giving up half of his life to the mirror. I still will never understand why he did what he did that day to save me but I repaid him for it by stopping Hiei from killing him.

Now I have a huge gash in my stomach from Hiei's sword but I heal faster than most humans. The hardest thing is that I might have to be leaving Kagome for even longer, for I have decided to join Yusuke's team and so is Hiei.

Dear Kagome please forgive me for all the pain I have put you through. Please remember that no matter what we are still a team.

(Normal POV)

Kagome grabbed her huge yellow bag and raced down the well. When she saw Inuyasha she jumped into his arms and held him in a strong embrace. She told him how sorry she was for not seeing him in so many weeks and promised him that things would be different from now on. Little did she know what Inuyasha's had on his mind.

"Kagome," He sighed as they sat down next to the river. "Are you living with that Yoko person?"

"What?" Kagome asked wondering what all Inuyasha knew. "No it-"

"It's okay Kagome you don't have to explain Shessomaru told me all about that womanizing drunk."

"W- W- Womanizing?" Kagome stuttered as she tried hard not to hit Inuyasha. "How could you dare think that? Yoko isn't like that okay. He loves me and I thought you did too."

"Kagome he doesn't love you he just wants to sleep with you." Inuyasha sighed. "Shessomaru's heard all about him."

"Oh grow up Inuyasha." Kagome finally yelled. "Since when do you listen to your bull shit brother anyways?"

"Since he can be right sometimes." Inuyasha spat.

Kagome stood up and kicked water at Inuyasha's face. "Get a life. Why did I even come here in the first place?" She yelled storming off.

"Kagome!"

"Screw you!"

After Kagome left Shippo decide that this would be the perfect time to go see Rin. Everyone else will be trying to calm down Inuyasha anyways. So he ran off. He smiled at the thought of seeing Rin today. It has been weeks now since Rin and he had started sneaking off every few day to see each other. They would sometimes go pick flowers and make chain necklaces out of them and sometimes they would just lie on the grass and watch the clouds roll by. Young love had never been so sweet.

When Shippo saw Rin she was being held by Sessomaru and singing him silly songs, all of which never made him smile. Finally Rin saw Shippo's tail behind a tree and told Sessomaru that she was going to go pick some flowers for him and ran off before he could get a word out.

Rin took Shippo by the hand and led him to a river that's water was so clear you could actually see every scale on the fish.

The two played and splash in the cold water making up songs and telling funny stories like the time when Kagome accidentally told Shippo to sit while Inuyasha was asleep in a tree. The two had a great time laughing and splashing. Too bad time has its' moments when it wants to run faster than you'd like it to. Just as the sky started to turn pink Rin knew she had stayed too long and that Sesshomaru would be mad at her.

"I had a really nice time with you today Shippo." The little girl smiled. "I hope we can see each other soon."

"Yeah me too." Shippo smiled then tried so hard to think up a spell to make him tall so he could kiss her but it was hopeless.

"See you soon." She said and kissed his cheek.

"See you." Shippo said with a blush.

Then Rin skipped off back to Shessomaru and even picked up a few daisies on the way.

Life couldn't be better for the young lovers.
