Prologue

Thirteen years came and went. Kagome and Inuyasha are no longer little kids; both are all grown up. Many things happened to both over the years.

Kagome, nineteen, was now a big sister and a high school graduate. Her father died three years after her little brother, Souta, was born. He died from a car crash. Her grandfather moved from Edo to be with the family and help take care of them. But now that he's an elder, he's the one being taken care of. Kagome loved to play the violin, and is now hoping to go to a music school, or art, since she could draw as well. Eri moved to Tokyo right after graduation and hasn't been in contact with her since, and now that Miroku was accepted to be an intern for an industrial company, he and his girlfriend Sango are moving there as well. They were both Kagome's good friends from high school.

Though her life was busy, and ever changing, Kagome Higurashi never forgotten that promise she made when she was six. Remembering Inuyasha, her first crush. She also kept the locket and wore it almost all the time, though the photo of him smiling was now grayed with age, she still adored it. The stuffed dolphin he won her sat on her desk, also surviving the test of time. She occasionally would think back about how much his leaving hurt her, how she never got to tell him he was her first crush, but that night on the Ferris wheel was worth the pain to remember. She would hope that someday, some how, they'd meet.

Inuyasha's story isn't nearly as decent. His mom died from her heart conditions four years after they moved. The doctors told him Izayoi would've died earlier had she stayed in Kyoto, as if knowing that would ease his pain. She was given a proper burial and was laid to rest next to his dad, InuTaisho. Inuyasha' heartache didn't end there. Kids, making him bitterer than before once again tormented him. He was jumped, beaten, and taunted almost everyday. But one day he just snapped and beat the living hell out his bullies. He was fighting back ever since. Every day he would be getting stronger, even making attacks from his claws. He was so fucking tired of getting beat on because he was different. Every day he thought of his dear Kagome, but his new heart of stone eventually pushed her at the back of his mind. But he refused to forget her, no matter how out of reach she's become.

Now at twenty, he's living in his own house, well a hand me down house his brother gave him after he got married and bought another house. He was done with school and wasn't planning on college. Being that he's now so deep into drugs and meaningless sex with his 'girlfriend' Kikyou, he never thinks of ever seeing Kagome ever again. He grew tired of missing her, wanting her to just appear to save his soul from falling any further than it already has. The more he thought about Kagome, the more he'd hurt. He was done hurting. He was also tired of the little escape the drugs and sex gave him, but why stop now? Who was in his life worth changing for?

So now, the story begins…

"Must you go to Tokyo with him?" A sad Kagome asked Sango over the phone.

"I love and him, and I follow my heart, where ever it is. Apply for a art college, then you could get here."

"They are so expensive, I'd do better going to a college here Kyoto."

Sango sighed. "That's a good point. I'm only moving with him because I have a cousin that has a position for me at her store. Then I could support my self while Miroku is doing his intern stuff."

Kagome started to really hate Tokyo. It seemed like it was taking all her friends away from her. First Inuyasha, Eri, and now Sango and Miroku.

"I'm sorry honey, If I could, I'd pack you up and take you to Tokyo with me." Kagome smiled. "I know you would. When are you leaving?"

"Friday. He's wanting to take all his shit with him, he's taking forever to pack." She laughed. Today was Wednesday, two days and they'll be gone.

"Oh, what about you?"

"Baby I'm done, if I miss anything, I'll just make Kohaku mail it. Ha! But I'll miss you Kagome, I gotta go, I'll talk to you later!"

Her eyes dimmed. "Yeah…I'll miss you too. Bye."

'Everyone seems to be missing me lately. So if they like me so much, why are they all leaving me?!' she thought in frustration. She shook her head. She can't make it all about her. They are making moves, and she shouldn't be so selfish. She fell back on her bed staring at the ceiling. What are her choices? Go to college here and be miserable, missing everyone she came into contact to…or rolling the dice and try to make it in Tokyo. She seemed like she didn't have any passions of her own. She wanted to go to an art school most definitely. Was it okay to be to want to be near her friends? She sighed.

"How can I be sure and…lost at the same time? I don't want seem like I'm following people just so I can fill my selfish feelings. Alas, if I do land a college in Tokyo, it wouldn't be selfish, and my friends would be a plus!" Her eyes widened as she shot up in her bed.

"I could find Inuyasha!"

It was decided she'd find the most affordable college in Tokyo, find a part time job, and live in Tokyo!

"Mom! Fire up the Internet! I have a college to look for!" she yelled as she scampered to her door and out to the hallway.

o0o

"Fuck me." Inuyasha panted as Kikyou rode him faster, making him reach his point. He grabbed her bouncing breasts and rubbed her nipples roughly.

"Ah! Inuyasha, I'm about to come!" she screamed in ecstasy as he pushed himself deeper into her, making both reach their climax. Kikyou smiled and ran her hands down his chiseled stomach.

"Oh…shit Inuyasha, I love you." She bent down and kissed him.

He remained silent, not wanting to say it back. It was if he just...woke up that day and grew tired of lying. "Say Inuyasha, I've been thinking, just how demons mark their mates? I think…I'm ready to belong to you forever." She rolled over to his side.

Inuyasha was stunned! She actually thought he wanted to claim her! "You're ready to be marked? Good for you, because I'm not marking you."

"Why not? Don't you love me?" her eyebrows knitted together.

" …No."

Kikyou's eyes widened in shock and jumped out the bed.

"We were making love! You told me you loved me every time!"

"Correction, I was fucking you, and if I ever told you I loved you, I meant I loved your pussy."

She ran over to the side of his bed and slapped him. "Bastard! How could you say such things like I'm your whore! All this time I thought you loved me! You used me? Who do you think you are…HALF-BREED?" She spat bitterly. She threw her clothes on.

"I'm Inuyasha Takashi, son of InuTaisho Takashi, that's who the fuck I am. Don't like it? Get the FUCK out my house!" he pointed to the door.

"You don't have to tell me to leave twice you stupid piece of garbage! An ugly person like you can never find another woman like me! You wouldn't deserve her! All you would do is drag her down to your sad level!"

Inuyasha grabbed his sweatpants off the floor and stood up. "Bitch shut up and get out my house, you don't tell me what I can't deserve. Fuck you."

Kikyou gritted her teeth. She was seething in anger. "Not today, not tomorrow, but one day Inuyasha, you will pay for hurting me this way. I was being played with for two years, and I'll get my revenge a hundred…no…a THOUSAND fold. Watch your back half-breed."

He could hear his front door being slammed from the bedroom. He rolled his eyes, dismissing the threat.

"Yeah, yeah, what else is new?" he rubbed his temples and walked to his window.

"Kagome…where the fuck are you? How are you? Are you with someone?" he growled in jealousy. "Better not be…because you're the one I want to mark."

He still couldn't believe he was pining for her for all these years. He would fantasize about how she'd look like. Probably look like a fucking sex bomb with that curly full hair of hers, big brown eyes…perfect breasts…it would go on. He scoffed.

"Keh, I don't know why I do this to myself…maybe I should move on…" ignoring the fact something would always stop him from doing that.

"Stupid girl probably broke her promise and forgotten me…" On the bad days, the real bad ones, he would think about what Kagome told him on that Ferris wheel.

'Don't think you're anything less Inuyasha.'

He remembered every word she told him...and yet...they still weren't enough to keep him from going down his hell of a rabbit hole. He left a heart behind in Kyoto, and he wanted it to be all his.

"But…it's never going to happen…she's too out of reach for me. The day of seeing her again will never happen." After a long pause, he and went to his drawer and got out his little jar of cocaine.

"I need to forget her for a while." He sighed defeated, knowing full well an hour or so of escapism wouldn't do him any justice. Unbeknown to him, the day he never thought would come was indeed coming faster than he thought.
