The story is a alternative universe story focusing in on the characters from the wonderful anime Inuyasha which I in no way own or make money for that honor goes directly to the amazing, smart, and talented Rumiko Takahashi.-
The story is based on the Life of Kagome Higurashi a sixteen year old girl in her second year of high school who has had many struggles and tragedies in her life. After spending years away from Tokyo where she spent the first seven years of her life Kagome has moved back to Tokyo. Here Kagome will find friends, happiness, and love. But as Kagome knows from the life she has already had not everything can always be happy and hopes, dreams, and promises are never met without some sadness, struggle, and heartbreak. (I'm a Kagome/Inuyasha fan so let it be known that those pairings are most likely in my story)
-Chapter 2 Forgotten-
Kagome couldn't take her eyes off of the boy who stood before her. Long silvery white strands of the softest looking hair reached longer then her own and stopped where his back ended. His face was handsome with and eyes that seemed to be gazing into her soul with fiery hot golden sunlight. He gives a smile which is both playful and cocky. His hand is wrapped around the thin yellow straps of her backpack holding the bag out to her with one hand stuck straight out at her.
"You dropped this." he said his tone and grin almost teasing her for her simple mistake almost seeming to mock her with just three simple words and a small grin that for some reason makes her heart feel like it's beating ten times as fast.
Kagome stares for another moment at the boy with a star struck expression her lips parted in a small o and her hands still holding down the color of her shirt as she looks up at him from beneath her bangs. Seconds pass without a movement from either of them before a loud whine and sigh is heard behind Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha hurry your gonna make us late." With these words the trance Kagome seemed trapped in vanishes and she shakes her head reaching out for her bag as she stares at the pretty girl standing behind Inuyasha. Long black hair with straight cut harsh bangs that fit her her thin heart shaped face in a way that not many people could pull off. Her jet black hair was pulled back into a thick loose low hung ponytail with two long strands left out to shape her face but some how ending up inside the ponytail as well. The girl was wearing the same uniform as her own yet the green fabric seemed to hug her body more perfectly. A skirt just her size if not a size too short that showed up her toned and smooth thighs between the end of her skirt and the high white socks she wore that didn't fall like Kagome's seemed to. Even her shirt seemed to be custom made for her body showing of her womanly curves in just the right way without being so tight that you would wonder if it would rip if she moved too much to quickly.
Kagome knows the girl all too well and she isn't at all surprised at the pure beauty and confidence this girl now radiated. Kikyo had always been the star of the show even as a young girl in preschool she was able to get all the boys to give her their blocks or to get an extra snack at snack time from the teachers. Part of this was due to her looks but a large part was due to her family. Kikyo's parents were and still are big political figure heads.
Once Kagome's hands placed onto the straps of her backpack Inuyasha released his grip and looked away from Kagome. He then retracted his arm quickly and then turned his back to her. That same arm that a second ago was holding out toward her now wrapped around Kikyo's thin waist and she hears a soft "Keh" before the pair walk away towards the building.
Kagome's eyes tear up for a moment as she watches the retreating couple her eyes moving from the both of them to just focusing on the space where his tinny moving triangular ears should be sitting on top of the thick mane of silver/white tresses.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome whispers out in a soft and sad voice as her bottom lip quivers and her eyes fill with tears that threaten to pour out at any second.
-flashback-
"You better give me back that ball Inuyasha." a seven year old Kagome yelled as she chanced her best friend.
"Keh only if you catch me slow poke." Nine year old Inuyasha said teasingly as he looked over his shoulder with a grin and then sticking his tongue out his little fangs showing at the same time.
Inuyasha was much faster then poor Kagome and most of the time he liked to humor her by slowing down for a moment to almost let her grab onto his red shirt before he would duck away laughing at her and running away, and sometimes even letting her stop him if he was feeling very nice. But today Inuyasha didn't want to slow down. He didn't want to stop playing with Kagome and if she caught him and got her ball back she had to go home and he would never see her again. Inuyasha couldn't ever let her get the ball and leave.
"Ow!" Kagome screamed out tripping over a rock and smashing face first into the ground and breaking Inuyasha from his thoughts. He ran over to her quicker then he even ran from her falling to his knees in front of the girl who had been his best friend for as long as he could remember.
"A...are you hurt Kagome?" His voice shook with fear as he looked down at her. She lay face down in the ground a moment before flipping over and her big brown eyes looked up at him tear filled and sad.
"I'm alright.." she said but even as she said that she knew it wasn't true. Her pretty face had a small red cut and her knee bleeding and her arm pretty scraped. But the pain from the obvious physical marks were not what she was lying about, the pain she felt was from something deeper and something she had been feeling for much longer.
"Oh Kagome how could you have possibly fell? You must be the only one in the whole world who could not see a giant boulder in a yard and mange to trip over it." Inuyasha chuckled softly reaching out and rubbing his finger across the cut on her cheek brushing away the drop of blood as he looked down at her.
"And you must be the only one in the whole world who would have noticed that pebble hidden in the grass." Kagome said with a giggle sitting up onto her bleeding knee and facing Inuyasha with her head tilted to the side and even as she was laughing a sad expression on her face.
"Inuyasha you won't forget me right? Even if I'm gone a hundred years we will always be best friends right?" She asked with pleading eyes.
"Kagome how could I ever forget you? Who could forget someone as slow as you?" He said with a cheeky grin.
"Well that's true Inuyasha." She gave him one last smile reaching out and pulling her ball out of his arms. He watched her arms wrap around the ball and pull it to her chest before she sat up. Looking down at him on his knees she finally was smiling with her pretty brown again. Shuffling a bit and moving the ball to one arm holding it under her arm pit as she reached over with her other free hand and her soft fingers rubbed and pulled softly on the small triangular ears that moved as she touched them.
"See you again real soon Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled pulling her arm back fast and turning away from him. She ran away from the only true friend she ever made, leaving him there on his knees in his yard as she ran over to the beat up blue car her mom sat in waiting at the side of the road.
"Keh." He scoffed huffing a bit as he sat there on his knees a small pink blush filling his cheeks as he watched her run away. When he heard the car door slam and pull into the road and then out of sight Inuyasha smiled a bit to himself and reached up to touch the ear where he could still feel her touch.
-End Flashback-
That was the last day Kagome spent in Tokyo and the last time she saw or heard from her best friend. Nine long years without a word. It wasn't like they didn't know each others numbers, Kagome even made sure to write the number down for Inuyasha before she left. Even though nine years had passed the phone never rang from her from the boy who had always been there for her when she fell, and Kagome never bothered to call him either. She never knew what to tell him if he had asked how she was doing. She knew if he thought she was unhappy he would over react and she didn't want to trouble him when she lived so far away. So she lived her life hoping he would think she was doing well and that he would be doing well too.
How could he not recognize her? Sure nine years was a long time and Kagome had grown up a lot since she was seven years old but how can you forget your best friends face? She never forgot his even after all this time and one look at his face and into those eyes Kagome knew she could tell who he was even if fifty years had passed. Maybe Kagome just wasn't as important to him as he had been to her?
Kagome sighed a heavy heartbroken sigh her shoulders hunching as she shook and gathered her composer. A loud bell could be heard sounding inside even out in front of the campus and when Kagome looked around she was the only one left standing out there. The hundred of kids who were there just a moment before were gone and Kagome was alone again.
-End Chapter 2-
Thank you so so much to whoever has read my story so far. I know the story is starting out kinda slow and not a lot has really been happening yet but I really want the mood of the story and the plot to be set up nicely. I don't want to rush through any of the ideas I have just to throw out half assed chapters for anyone reading. I want to make this fanfiction something I can be proud of even though I don't know much about writing. I have always loved reading books and fanfictions and I want to give out the details that I would myself love to read. But again thank you so much and I hope to yet again get another chapter out tomorrow. And again any feedback would be wonderful.
