Chapter 2: A New Start

Inuyasha was walking with his friends Miroku Tyzen and Kyrian talking when he felt something run into him and it was the last person he expected to see. It was the very last person he wanted to see at the moment.

"Inuyasha."

"K-Kagome…I didn't know you went here."

"Like wise." said Kagome.

"Um Kagome we're going to get lunch." said Kikyo. "Why don't you and Inuyasha catch up to us? I think you guys need to talk."

"Uh Kikyo…"

"Kagome trust me." said Kikyo and the six of them walked away leaving Inuyasha and Kagome very awkward.

"So how have you been Kagome?" asked Inuyasha

"I've been fine. And you?"

"Okay mom died a couple years ago so I've been living with Sesshomaru and Rin."

"Your brother? I thought he hated you." said Kagome shocked.

"So did I but when mom died he was there before the courts could put me in a foster home." said Inuyasha. He couldn't believe it. It was like she had never left him hurting in the first place. 'I guess Sesshomaru was right after all.' "He told me that he was going to take me in and I've been living with him ever since."

"Inuyasha, Listen about what happened at the park…"

"Forget it Kagome. I know I was being too pushy." said Inuyasha

"Why don't you and I start over?" asked Kagome. "As friends again."

"I would really like that Kagome." said Inuyasha as he hugged her once more. It was the one thing that both of them had wanted for so long but since Kagome moved she couldn't have the half demon that she had wanted back then. Now however there were feelings inside her that she had never felt before.

"So Kagome did you ever figure out why your parents wanted to move so suddenly?" asked Inuyasha after they had caught up with their friends in the lunch room.

"No mom never did tell me. But I have a feeling it was because dad didn't want me to have anything to do with you." said Kagome.

"Why do you say that?" asked Sango. She never had met Kagome's father since he died in a car crash before they had met. So Sango didn't know how strict her father was, but Kikyo and Nalika did.

"Let's just say that Kagome's father didn't like demons at all. Wither they be half blood or full." said Kikyo.

"Now I see why you didn't want to tell me five years ago Kagome." said Inuyasha

"Let's just forget about that." said Kagome and the others agreed. Afterward the eight of them started to plan a trip to the beach for their summer break. Inuyasha hadn't been there since Kagome left since most of the people there hated demons and most of the bullies that picked on him in both elementary and middle school lived there. So he basically stayed away from the beach. But when Kagome mentioned that she and the other girls were planning on going there for their break Inuyasha thought it might be best if they all went as a group.

"That's a good idea Inuyasha. Why do you and the boys figure out what you want to take on the trip and we'll do the same." said Kagome.

"Okay." said Inuyasha just as the bell for the evening classes rang and the group of friends got up and went their separate ways.

On the way to their next class Kikyo pulled Kagome aside and asked her what she was pussy footing around for. She knew that her adoptive sister loved the half demon and it was obvious that he liked her so why didn't she just tell him what she thought of him.

"Because Kikyo when I told him I was moving I hurt him really bad and I don't think he's completely over it yet." said Kagome.

"Kagome you could be so blind sometimes." said Kikyo and she followed Sango into the class room.

Sango who sat beside Kikyo and who had heard the exchange that they had passed a note it Kikyo asking her what was going on with Kagome and the new boy.

'Kagome and Inuyasha were the best of friends and probably would have been a couple had her father not interfered. But when we moved here and she told Inuyasha that she was moving he kept asking her where and she kept telling him that she didn't know where we were moving to. Finally she told him that she hated him and ran away. So he thought.'

'So he thought? What do you mean Kikyo?'

'He didn't know that she was still in the area and he said to himself that he just wanted to know why she was leaving him.'

'You think we can get them together on this trip? Or at least point them in the right direction?'

'Hm maybe so, you talk to Miroku about it and I'll talk to Tyzen and Nalika and Kyrian since they live at the shrine with Kagome and me.'

'It's a deal.' Sango wrote back. However they didn't know just how hard it was going to be getting the two together because of the fact that they barely said anything to one another.
