Chapter one.
Kagome's point of view:
"They say distance makes the heart grow fonder. It's been three years since I saw him. Inuyasha; my love for him grows stronger every day, but my heart is being eaten away. I, Kagome Higurashi cannot live. I cannot be happy anymore. I lost myself beyond the sacred well… Kagome higurashi is not me. I feel betrayed. I feel let down and heartbroken. I feel successful knowing I passed high school. But I feel empty inside. No joy, maybe I'm being too hard on myself, maybe I should move on? Yeah right… he's all I ever think about, he's all I ever need. Inuyasha you JERK why don't you come for me?"
Inuyasha's point of view:
"Time; if I could go back in time I would. I'd be back at the well with Kagome and her family. I'd bring her back here with me. What did her heart want? I'm not the only thing important to Kagome but… I visit the well three times a week, just to see if she came back to me. It's been three years Kagome, I miss you. Your kiss, oh I remember that. Your "sits" how can I forget that? The scent of her strawberry shampoo, her stupid bicycle and her "try-so-hard" cooking. You bastard why don't you come back to me? Can't you see that I need you? Can't you feel that I want to be with you?"
Present day Japan:
"Kagome, Wake up, wake up!" said Sota as he barged into his older sisters room.
Kagome's light brown eyes finally began to open.
"Sota why'd you wake me up for? Can't you see I'm trying to sleep?"
"Sorry sis… but mom and gramps have some news for you, come down when you're ready okay?"
News… what news? Inuyasha maybe? What if I go downstairs and he's sitting right there, oh it can't be, but what if it is?
Kagome's cheeks went a rosy pink.
"You okay sis?" he noticed the change of colour of her cheeks.
"I'm fine and I'm coming right down."
Kagome sprinted down to her kitchen and noticed her mom and gramps sitting at the kitchen table, patiently waiting for her.
No inuyasha… how foolish am I for thinking he'd actually be here?
Kagome feeling let down walked to the kitchen chair and sat down.
"Good morning sweetheart, sorry for making Sota wake you up at a time like this"
"It's fine mom, so what is the news exactly?"
Kagome's mom saw the disappointment in her daughters eyes.
"It's about the shrine and this house…" said Kagome's mom softly.
"Wh-at about the shrine?" stuttered Kagome.
"Well you see Kagome, I'm getting older and I don't think I can take great care of the shrine anymore… you see" said Gramps.
"But it's the Higurashi shrine? H-I-G-U-R-A-S-H-I how could you let other people intrude with it?" Kagome said angrily.
Kagome's mother sat closer with Kagome.
"Kagome… it was just a suggestion, we're not selling the house for sure, before we even make any decisions we need the approval of Sota and yourself."
"I don't know how you'd ever think I'd leave this place… especially with the sacred tree. You said it yourself. The sacred tree has always been there for us, through our ups and downs. This is the only place I've got left and…" Kagome's eyes filled with tears.
"Kagome…" Kagome's mom comforted her daughter
"Mom… this isn't about Inuyasha right?"
"BUSTED!" yelled out Sota
"So, it is about Inuyasha after all..."
"Kagome, you are not joyful as you used to be, as a mother I'm trying to be there for you, I don't know if you'll ever see him again and I worry for you."
"You're always there for me mom, and I love you so much" Kagome broke down into tears
Kagome's mom looked at Sota and gramps.
"Alright Kagome, give it some thought" as the woman put her arms around her daughter
"Alright…"
"Oh and Kagome, Hojo called."
Hojo, why would Hojo call me? I haven't spoken to him in a while…
Kagome went to her room and reached for the phone "I hope I don't regret this" she said as she dialed up Hojo's number.
Conversation:
"Hello?"
"hey… it's Kagome you called?"
"KAGOME! I thought you'd never call back haha"
"hilarious HOJO!"
"No need to be harsh about it… anyway I don't think you checked your mail but our old high school is having a reunion type of thing… and I was wondering if…"
"mhmm"
"would you like to come with me? I mean not as a date if you don't want…"
"that's very thoughtful of you… but that high school is kind of my past and…"
"I knew it… you never go out anymore; I mean do you even see your friends?"
"What I do is clearly my business, and what I do reflects upon me!"
"Alright calm down Miss Higurashi, I won't go as well, as long as you go out with me okay?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Just be ready and one hour and you'll see! See you soon KAGOME!"
"alright…"
End of conversation
What am I doing? What about Inuyasha? What if…
"Kagome, may I come in?" her mother lightly knocked on her door.
"Yeah, what's up mom?"
"I just got the mail, and-"
"nonono! I'm not going, Hojo and I spoke… and well he's taking me out somewhere in one hour so I got to go get ready"
A huge smile went upon Mrs. Higurashi's face "well I'm glad to hear that"
"YUP! Better go, I got to get ready now" yelled Kagome as she dragged her mother out of her room.
30 Minutes later:
"Hmm, what should I do? I'm all ready and now I got to wait here for Hojo…"
Kagome looked outside her window and stared straight at the sacred tree. "I'm sorry; I don't want to go with him Inuyasha… I'll never betray you, over my dead body." The sacred tree reminded her of many things, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo and the Feudal Era.
"I remember a song Inuyasha showed me once; I can never forget those lyrics…"
She began to sing lightly
Tell me babe, how many do I shed my tears?
Every Heart, Every Heart is not a gentle yet
Shall I do? I can never say my loneliness
Every Heart doesn't know so what to say oh what to do
I was afraid of darkness cause I felt that I was left alone
So I prayed for help to the distant million stars…
The doorbell rang, and she knew who it was. "I'll see you later sacred tree, I got to go now…"
With that, she walked slowly down her stairs to open the door for him.
Hello everyone! Sorry for the long wait unfortunately it's a very important school year for me, considering how my grades are going to help me get into College! Anyway, I'll try to get you a new chapter every week, I hope you like it so far! OH and if you haven't noticed I put the english lyrics of "EVERY HEART" which is one ending theme song in Inuyasha! :)
