Disclaimer: Don't own Inuyasha

Childhood Part III

Not in all of his young life, has Inuyasha has been this happy. He knew nothing was wrong with him, and Kagome was proof of that. She liked him as is, and she kissed his cheek! He was running back home, filled with a feeling he thought he'd never feel. Such happiness that was beginning to elude him was finally in his grasp.

'This is what it's like to be accepted…to be liked.' He thought. When he reached his house, he couldn't contain his excitement.

"MOM! MOM! I have something to--!" he stopped dead in his tracks. Sitting in the kitchen with his mom…was his elder brother Sesshomaru. He couldn't believe it! Why was he here? What possibly possessed him to go to his house.

"Inuyasha, how have you been? Have you missed your elder brother?" he smiled an empty smile.

"Mom! What's he doing here?!" Izayoi's face was sad, almost telling.

"Inuyasha…I'll let you talk alone…it's time for me to take my medicine anyway." She slowly rose from the table and left the kitchen.

"Sit brother, I have something to talk about."

Inuyasha's good mood went out the window. "We don't have shit to talk about!" he snarled. "Get out of my life!"

"I'm afraid I cannot do that. I have made a gracious decision regarding you and your mother. Your mom is still ill I see."

"Well, no thanks to you, she is still given money from dad's will, which was something you tried to STOP!"

"That was a nasty year wasn't it? But Inuyasha alas, I didn't come to fight you. I am here tell you that you and your mother will be relocated to Japan, there, you will receive better education, and your mother will be taken care of."

"Are you trying to BUY my trust or something? FUCK YOU! I like it here! Get out! I will not move any fucking place!"

Izayoi was disheartened by how upset her sons was, but choose not to interfere in the conversations of youkai's. She knew the sole reason he didn't want to leave. Kagome. The first real friend he ever made, and here comes his brother trying to take him away from her.

Sesshoumaru sighed. "You're resistance is futile. You will come to Japan. Pack tonight, you'll be evacuated from this property tomorrow morning."

Inuyasha couldn't believe it. "No…no this isn't real." He turned away from him. "No…this…can't be happening." He spun around and began hitting Sesshoumaru in the legs.

"I HATE YOU! I FUCKING HATE YOU! YOU HEAR ME? FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!"

"Inuyasha!" Izayoi tore the angry child from Sesshoumaru, whom was unaffected by the scene.

"Be ready. Izayoi, Inuyasha." He left the house.

Izayoi cradled Inuyasha in her arms. "Honey, I am so sorry. Shh, calm down."

Inuyasha held his mother tight. He was mad enough to scream, sad enough to cry. Why now? Why did that bastard take want to take him away now? Now of all times...when he doesn't even want to leave? Sure, life before Kagome, he'd haul ass no questions asked...but he met Kagome. Everything's different now! He wants to stay! He wanted to be near Kagome forever. He...liked her. The first human girl that befriended him with out any hesitations. Surely as they grew older, she'd be his mate. He had it all made up in his mind...and just as quickly as that happened, a thief came along a snatched his newly found dream away from him.

"I-I had plans! Kagome invited you to dinner tomorrow to meet her folks. Now what do I tell her?" Inuyasha wiped the tears from his eyes.

"I don't know. He came right after you left with her, and told me the same thing. He said that if we didn't move, he'd try to get your father's will revoked again. I'm sorry dear, but you know we need that money."

"No, you need it more than I do, you're sick. I guess I'll…start packing." Depressed, he walked to his room.

He knew it all was too good to be true. It was too perfect. The ugly duckling saved by the beauty. He could never be saved, he was never meant to be happy.

"Inuyasha, I have something for you, to give to Kagome." Izayoi sat beside him. She handed him a sterling silver heart locket.

"It has your picture in it, so she'll always remember you. You can give it to her before we leave tomorrow. But you must be quick."

"Thanks mom." She kissed his forehead. "No problem dear."

Kagome dressed in her favorite blue shirt-dress with matching blue sandals. She let her curly hair down and tied a blue ribbon in it. Today was special, so it must be done right!

"My, my! What's the occasion?" her father laughed as she skipped into the kitchen. "It's a surprise! I'll be right back!" she hugged her mom as she grabbed a piece of toast off the table.

Kagome walked to the park, she didn't want to stink in front of Inuyasha.

Kagome laughed to herself. "I bet he'll tell me I'm late and call me a name when he sees me, then I'll act like I'm mad." She smiled at their usual routine. Her smile widened when she saw Inuyasha standing near the monkey bars. That was weird, he always sat on them.

"Inuyasha! Hey you!" Inuyasha's eyes widened, then smiled. She was always so happy...he'll miss that happy face. The smile she only smiled for him...

"You look…pretty."

"Shut up you—what?" Kagome blushed.

"I said you look pretty."

Kagome gawked. He said something NICE and smiled! She studied his face and it held a surreal emotion.

"Inuyasha, you're…freaking me out, is everything okay?" her smile fading.

"No…everything is fucked!" she wasn't use to hearing him use such language either, something is definitely wrong.

"Why do you say that? Miss Izzy can't make the dinner?"

"No…and neither can I."

Kagome frowned. "Whyyy?" she whined.

"We're fucking moving Kagome! My stupid brother is forcing us too." He balled his fists.

The world felt like it crashing down on Kagome's shoulders. It took her awhile before she could say anything else.

"Where…where are you going?"

"Tokyo."

A sharp sting attacked her heart. So far away? Kyoto was miles from Tokyo. Tokyo was the biggest city in all Japan. It made Kyoto look a bath water town. Kagome has never been there, and never thought of even going. What was so special about Tokyo? Other than it's the 'New York' of Japan.

"T-T-Tokyo…I see."

"I don't want to leave!" he shouted, "But we have no choice."

"Inuyasha…" tears fell from her brown eyes. "I…you…no. Can't you stay please?"

"Damn it, now is not the time to be Crygome." He turned away, not be able to take her crying.

"Don't go! Please!" she pulled him into a hug.

"I'll miss you!" she sobbed. She felt him hug her just as tight as she was.

"I'll miss you too…so much Kagome." They stood there hugging each other for what seemed like eternity. Neither of them wanted to let go, for once they did...who knows when they'll see each other again.

"I have to go. But before I leave, I want you to promise me something."

"Anything."

"Don't forget me, I'll miss you Kagome." He draped her neck with the necklace.

"I promise. Never ever forget you." She gripped the locket. "Can I watch you leave?"

"Actually, no…I don't think my brother would want you around."

"Oh well, I'll watch you walk away, and I'll picture you as your brother speeds you and Miss Izzy out my life." She cried.

Inuyasha kissed her forehead and walked from the park. He turned and took a glance at her one last time before turning the corner. "Bye Kagome..."

Kagome felt cold, even though it was near ninety degrees. The boy that caught her heart just two days ago was gone just as quickly. She should've told him what she was planning to tell him after the dinner. He was her first crush.

"Inuyasha!" she ran out the park, trying to catch up with him. She ran around, but both corners were empty.

"INUYASHAAAAAAAAAA!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. But he never came. Kagome went home broken hearted that day. It was bittersweet though, because that was the same day her parents announced that she would be a big sister. When they asked her where her necklace came from, she answered just a friend, totally ignoring them asking about the big suprise she had in store for them. The surprise left, why even talk about it? After dinner that night, she went to her room, staring out the window.

"Inuyasha…don't ever change okay? I hope you remember all of what I told you. If we are to never meet again, at least keep it mind you're special to someone." She opened the locket, revealing a smiling Inuyasha.

'I promise to never forget.' She turned and went to bed.

You know...this thing has been bugging me. I can't seem to make a freaking single space anymore. It keeps scrunching up the work so I have to use the line breakers every time there's a shift in time or whatever....really annoying. Oh well. R&R as always please! 8D
