Ehh, I can't tell you how hard it was re-doing all these chapters in the span of 3 days! Dx

I don't own Inu!

Getting Closer

"Where's that Kikyou girl?" Sesshoumaru's wife Kagura asked at dinner. He was working late, so he told Inuyasha to go over his house and keep her and his adopted daughter Rin company.

"Dumped her I don't want to talk about it.." Inuyasha really didn't want to talk about his complex love life.

"Why? You know, for a hanyou, you're sort of picky. What was wrong with her?"

"She wasn't my mate. I didn't like her, I didn't love her, and I got what I wanted for two years. What's the problem?"

Kagura took a bite out of her pasta and placed the fork down.

"Inuyasha, don't think I can't sense the hostility in your voice. You have held a grudge ever since you were brought here, were you and your mother not treated fair?"

Inuyasha turned away, "I said I don't want to talk about it." he let a low growl pass his lips.

"Well maybe we should talk about it, let's talk about why you brushed off the near perfect mate you ever had since you've been here, let's talk about the stick that's wedged so far up your ass, a suction vacuum couldn't get it out." Kagura spat at him. "You're being so ungrateful it's pathetic.

He gritted his teeth. "Want to know? Really? Well I never wanted to leave because…I found my mate 13 years ago…and I was taken away from her. Happy?" he stood up and left the kitchen.

He walked into the living room to find Rin coloring on the floor.

"Sup brat?"

"Hey jerk." He patted her head, that was they way they talked to each other. She was a real cutie, her family was murdered by a certain wolf pack, and Sesshoumaru took her in after marrying Kagura. Some family she dropped into.

"How was your day Yasha?" she crawled on his lap.

"Ahhh Rin, it's the same."

"Shit?"

"Shhh, and yeah." He laughed. As many times he's sworn around this girl, it was amazing she didn't mimic him when they weren't alone together.

"When will I be able to swear out loud?"

"How about ten years from now okay?" he kissed her cheek.

That Friday, Kagome was seeing Miroku and Sango off.

"Remember Kagome, you can come to live with us anytime before you start school at Dusia's okay? Call us when you're ready." Sango hugged Kagome as Miroku was getting their bags.

"Yeah Kags, see? You weren't going to be stuck in the slums of Kyoto after all." Miroku hugged his friend. "You'll see us real soon."

Kagome was happy that he was right. Soon she will be with them again. The train blew it's horn.

"That's our cue Sango." Miroku held her hand.

"Okay, well, see you soon Kagome!" she waved as she boarded.

"Byyyye!" Kagome wasn't sad for once. She watched the train leave the station.

"I'll be busing a train to Tokyo." She said to herself. She jumped when her phone rang. It was Eri!

"Hello?" she asked.

"Hey Kagome! Listen, sorry about earlier, I was out of it."

"Oh no, that's alright, hey guess what? I'm coming to Tokyo, remember the school I was telling you about?"

"Oh, it was here? Really? Wow, when are you coming down?"

"Soon, I'm really not sure."

"Oh. So where are you going to live? If you want, you can come stay with me and my cousin."

"Ah no, but thank you, I'll be shacking up with Sango."

"Oh. Her." She said flatly.

Kagome never really understood why Sango and Eri hated each other. Maybe it was the fact she was trying to get with Miroku at her 16th birthday party, or when they first met, she thought Sango was a lesbian because of how athletic she was. Safe to say they both rubbed each other the wrong way.

"Anyway, guess who's down here too."

"Who?"

"Hojo. He's a big time entrepreneur at some cell phone company his grandfather owns."

"Really? Oh…that's nice." She never cared for that guy nor talked to him much; something was always weird about him. He was like those proper prim people who only acted like that to be accepted into the 'high society'. That's how Kagome viewed him, maybe she was wrong and Hojo was a genuine classy pansy.

"You never told me what stuff you're doing Eri." Kagome crossed the street, almost home.

"I'm not in college, but I'm looking into some stuff…like modeling."

"Oh! That's great, people would always be jealous of your figure in gym."

"No, that was you. Kagome Higurashi: Smart girl with the body of a slut." She laughed.

"Yes well...I'm smart. Slut part is closer to----." She almost said her, due to hanging around Sango a lot. "Closer to those spooky other girls!" she laughed while catching herself.

"Haha whatever. Look, I got a gig to go to, so I'll talk to you when you get in the big city?"

"Yep, see you then."

"Peace!"

When Monday came, Kagome was literally hunched over the phone waiting for Dusai.

"What are you doing?" snorted Souta as he was preparing for school.

"I'm waiting on a call."

"Humping the phone won't help."

"I'm not humping the phone."

"Whatever, talking to you will make me late." He left.

"The older he gets the more assholish he gets."

She jumped when the phone rang. "Hello?" she asked without sounding nervous.

"Hi, I'm Miss Tein of Dusai's Art School, is this Kagome Higurashi?"

"Yes ma'am."

"We looked at your information and we have accepted you into Dusai's. School here doesn't start for two weeks, so you have plenty time to relocate down here. Do you have a housing plan?"

It took Kagome all her inner strength not to scream into the phone with excitement.

"Yes, I'll be living with my friends in their duplex."

"Good, when you get here your schedule and plan of payment will be ready for you. See you soon Miss Higurashi."

"YES!" Kagome yelled. Her grandpa and mother entered the living room.

"You were accepted?" her mother asked.

"I was accepted!" squealed Kagome as she hugged her.

"I still think you're moving too far, what's wrong with the schools here?"

"Oh grandpa, don't worry, I'll be fine." She kissed his forehead.

"Now if you excuse me, I have a friend to call and a bags to pack!" she dashed up stairs.

"That girl is only going to Tokyo for her friends." He scolded.

"Now now dad, Kagome would be miserable if she stayed here and was friendless. And plus, she's going to school, so it's not like its solely for her friends. Also, as far as I know, none of her friends are going to Dusai." He folded his arms.

"I'm just telling you how I feel…I don't want her to leave, I'll miss her…"

"I'll miss her too dad." She smiled sadly.

"OH MY GOD! You can come down this Friday! And since you'll have two weeks off, it will be a two week long celebration!"

"Yeah! Well, let me start packing!"

"Okay, bye Kags!"

Kagome was so excited as she was getting closer to the train station. That Thursday night her family threw a farewell party with all of Kagome's favorite foods and played games until her grandpa fell asleep in the punch bowl, they did get him out of course.

"WE'RE HERE! WE'RE HERE!" she jumped out the car, but stopped and turned to her family.

"Kagome…I'll…I'll…I'll miss you." Sniffed Souta. She patted his head. "I'll miss you too little dude." She turned to her grandpa and mother.

"Mom, Grandpa…wish me luck?" she smiled.

"Good luck dear." She hugged Kagome tightly. Grandpa didn't say a word, just kept his arms folded.

"Grandpa." She sighed.

"I don't want you to leave! Stay! Please?" he begged. "I got to go. Sayonara." She hugged him. He hugged her back.

"I'm off! Ja'ne!" she ran into the station, bags jiggling wildly. She gave her ticket to the stewardess and took a seat next to the window. She then received a text message from Sango.

'I'll be there at the station to greet you, Miroku had to work. Hurry up and bring your ass here, it's been a week and I already have news for you!'

Kagome laughed as she sent a text back.

'I'll be there in three hours. Be patient bitch. Lol'

She looked out the window as the train sped her to her new life in Japan. Clutching the locket, her smile widened.

'Inuyasha, the heart you left behind is coming to find you.'

Getting closer and closer! Read and review please!
