Their parting was filled with nothing but pain and emptiness. Kagome smiled cheerfully so he wouldn't have to worry about her. She didn't know if he actually believed it but he didn't beg to stay so...

"So I guess this is good-bye." Kagome said slowly, gauging his reaction.

He nodded. "I guess."

Miroku and Sango had already said their farewells and left the two alone. Inuyasha never thought that leaving someone he disliked so much would hurt him like this. To think they spent a little time together yet she grew a place in his heart and rooted itself there. He blinked back surprising tears. As if this wan't hard enough already. They stood at the gate with his ticket in hand and luggage in the other.

"You'll call me, right?" She asked trying to buy extra seconds with him.

"Of course."

"And send me e-mails when you can?"

"If I have connection."

"And maybe even send me pictures and letters?"

"If I have the time."

"I'll message you too," Kagome added feeling the air for him.

He let go of his luggage and pulled her into a tight hug. She gasped slightly as he buried his nose in her hair, imprinting her scent forever. She wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes, remembering his body and made a mental image in her brain, keeping it locked away forever.

He was tall and had silver long hair. Sango had described him to her once. She took the golden eyes from her vision and applied them to a handsome face that was always in a permanent scowl. But it still had a soft smile at the edges as if he really cared. He was slightly taller than her and had a muscular body taken from his demon heritage and his soft white ears...she remembered them well. They were velvety soft; like silk.

He pulled away and held her at arms length, never wanting to let her go. He took in her full figure and kept the image on the back of his eyelids. Her dark hair, her brown eyes and her lovely curves...she was never to be forgotten. He leaned down and touched his forehead to hers.

"Kagome," he whispered. "Don't you ever forget me."

It was then when the dam broke. Tears leaked from her eyes and she nodded, throwing her arms around his neck and planting a kiss on his cheek.

"Flight 62 passengers," an announcer said. "Please make your way to the gates. You will be departing in ten minutes. Flight 62, repeat, please get to your designated flight."

She pulled away reluctantly and smiled again. "I guess that means you have to go."

"Yeah," he put a hand to her cheek.

She took it and held it between hers. "Be safe and...don't forget me."

"I won't," he promised. "See ya later, Kags."

"See ya, Yash."

That was the last time they talked.
