Inuyasha walked alone in to forest. He stopped in front of the tree where he and Kagome first met. "I miss you so much Kagome." He thought. He fiddled with the locket that she gave him that held her and his own picture.

He opened it and laughed at Kagome's expression, she was yelling at him when they picture was shot but she still looked cute.

Tears stung Inuyasha's eyes he usually would try to hold them back but saw no reason to now.

(What hurts the most- Racal Flatts)

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do

Kagome was getting ready for her second date with Hojo. She wasn't to excited about going all she wanted to do was think about Inuyasha but it was to late to back out now. She wore a red dress that came up to her knees and some black heels. She did her hair in little curls some covering her face. She applied some light red eye-shadow and some red lipstick. She examined herself in the mirror making sure everything was in place, when a soft knock came on her door.

"Who is it" Kagome asked.

"Its me Sota" He said

"Oh well come on in."

Sota slowly opened the door and plopped on Kagome's bed. "Hey sis I just wanted to apologize for being so mean to you about that Hojo guy."

"Its fine, just give him a chance before you shoot him down ok." Kagome responded.

Sota nodded his head and started to get up. "It's just that I missed Inuyasha and I didn't want you to replace him. Well Hojo is downstairs whenever you're ready." Sota walked out and closed the door behind him.

Kagome looked in the mirror and thought for a second

"No one will ever replace Inuyasha or fill the hole he left in my heart."

Kagome walked down stairs and was greeted by Hojo's smiling face.

"You look beautiful Kagome" He said when she reached the bottom step. "Thanks" she shyly replied.

"I'll be back around eleven" Kagome told her mom as she slipped out if the door. Hojo took Kagome's hand as the walked down the steps of the shrine.

When they finally reached the street Hojo showed Kagome to a car.

"Whose car is this?" Kagome asked.

"It's my brothers he let's me use it when he's out of town." Hojo open the door for Kagome as she slid in side. Hojo went around and got in himself. He started the car and looked at Kagome. "You ready?" He asked. Kagome nodded her head as they pulled away.

Kagome was shocked at how beautiful the club was. It was small but very relaxed. They were secluded tables that were hidden by curtains. The lights were dimmed so that it was very dark but blue light shined on the dance floor.

A waitress showed Hojo and her to their table it was in the far back she gave them their menu's and said she'll be back.

"So what are you getting?" Hojo asked. Kagome scanned the menu for something familiar.

"I think I'll just get some of the chocolate brownies with the vanilla ice cream and the Oreo's sprinkled on top; with some hot chocolate."

"Wow that sounds really good. I think I'll do the same. The waitress came back and took their orders. Their conversation was pretty steady but it was Hojo doing most of the talking and Kagome responding to the questions he asked.

"Kagome is there something wrong?" Hojo asked.

"Huh, oh no what makes you think that?" Kagome said

Well you're barely touching your food or talking and…Eri said you just got out of a serious relationship."

Kagome looked at Hojo. "Damn that Eri" She thought.

"I understand if you don't wanna talk about Hojo said." Kagome signed told Hojo everything (except for the fact that Inuyasha is half demon and she travel to the past to meet with him of coarse)

Hojo listened without interruption until Kagome was done. "Wow so you're saying that your old befriend id stupid enough to pick someone else over you."

Kagome giggled but didn't feel much better. Hojo looked at Kagome and got up. He walked the short distance to Kagome's side of the table and took her hand.

"What are you doing?" Kagome said

"I'm going to dance with you." Hojo said as he led her to the dance floor. He walked to the musicians who were playing and slipped then some money. He walked back over to Kagome and took her hand.

"May I have this dance?" He asked

"You may "Kagome said. The musicians started to play if I was the one instrumental (by Luther Vandross, I may switch up the lyrics a bit.)

Hojo pulled Kagome close so that there was no gap between them. He brushed a curl way from her face and looked into her eyes. He stared into them making Kagome's very nervous so she dropped her head down. Hojo leaned over and softly began singing in her ear.

I see the way he treats you
I feel the tears you cry
And it makes me sad and it makes me mad
There's nothin' I can do, baby
Cuz you're still in love with him
And I guess that's where the story ends
So I've gotta try to keep it inside
You'll never be, never be mine

- But if I was the one who was loving you, baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
You'd never know one lonely night

Hojo pushed Kagome's chin up again so that he was looking into her eyes.

If it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life

If I could have just one wish
I'd wish that you were mine
I would hold you near, kiss away those tears
I'd be so good to you, baby
You're the one I want next to me
But I guess that's just not meant to be
He's there in your life, he's sharing your nights
I'll never be, never be, never be right

But if I was the one who was loving you, baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
You'd never know one lonely night

If it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life

I want to reach out and feel you beside me, beside me
Right here, right now, right beside me baby, baby
And take you in my arms right now
And scream I love you right out loud
And then someday I'll pray I'll find
I'll find the strength to turn to you and say

Kagome's eyes welled up with tears. One fell down onto her cheek. Hojo quickly wiped and pulled Kagome closer to him.

If I was the one who was loving you, baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
You'd never know one lonely night

If it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life

If I was the one, if I was the one, the one
If I was the one in your life

Hojo looked deep into Kagome's eyes as the song finished. He cupped Kagome's face in his hand and slowly brought his face to her. He softly pressed his lips on top of her's. Kagome wrapped her hand around Hojo's neck. He gently licked her lips asking for permission to enter. Kagome obliged and let him in. The kiss was soft and slow and Kagome was getting dizzy, so she pulled away.

She looked into Hojo's eyes, they said that they cared for her and wouldn't break her heart. She pulled him closer and they danced the night away.

Kagome returned home around eleventh just as she promised her mom, surprisingly no one was home but she was to happy to care. Kagome went up to her home and jumped on her bed. She reached over and turned on the radio Six pence none the richer- Kiss me was on. Kagome blared the volume and grabbed a hairbrush to sing along

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me.

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon it's hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

So kiss me...(2x more)

Kagome jumped onto her bed knocking everything off of it. As she went to pick them up she saw something sparkling. She picked it up and her jaw dropped it was a shard of the shikon jewel.
