Thanks goes out to people who review. Sorry about the underlining I swear it wasn't like that when I posted it online. I hate how it does that… It makes people yell at me. Cruse it. Well I've talked to long, lets get in to the story.
Inu-yasha ran up the street and took the corner. Soon he would be at his house. His heart instantly picked up speed, and his adrenalin spiked. Inu-yasha shook his head as he stopped in front of his houses. All of a sudden the house seemed menacing. Inu-yasha gulped and walked up his walk way, he felt like a soldier walking to his immediate death. The soldier that had taking on a suicide mission. That thought lingered in Inu-yasha's mind, maybe there was a connection. Especially when he would have to face his father.
Inu-yasha gathered his courage and walked in. The house seemed empty, but his nose told him his parents were in the living room. He marched on ward. As he entered the living room, both parents looked up at him, with almost broken eye's. Inu-yasha felt his heart plummet to his feet. How could he do this to his parents. Inu-yasha had know that they would be sad for a while, but not this. Never this. The look in their eye's made him feel like he was watching them carry the world on their shoulders. He felt so rotten, so unworthy of their love. Inu-yasha didn't deserve parents like them.
" Inu-yasha, have a seat." Inu-yashio whispered calmly, but Inu-yasha felt the pain in that soft voice. He couldn't have said how much Inu-yasha had hurt him, if he had been yelling and screaming at him. Inu-yasha wished, as he walked over and sat down on the chair in front of his parents, that his father had yelled at him. Anything but talk to him in that calm controlled voice. Any thing but that. Inu-yashio cleared his throat.
" Inu-yasha, you mother and me have been thinking about what to do with you. But we must ask you on question, son. Have we done any thing to make you ashamed of us?" Inu-yashio asked. Inu-yasha's heart clenched as Lilly started to cry softly. He stared at his proud father, who had tears running down his eye's. Inu-yasha panicked, he had never seen his father cry. Never in all his 18 years. Inu-yasha was in a lost for what to do with his crying father.
" N- no never. You're the best parents guy could have. I love you guys. How could you ever think I could ever be ashamed of you. You should be ashamed of me. I was weak, it will never happen again. I promise. I have a reason for living now." Inu-yasha told his father. Inu-yasha looked up at his mother, and swiftly looked way. He couldn't looked in to the simmering eye's of his father, for fear that he would see his failure there again.
" Inu-yasha, what you mean " a reason for living"?" Inu-yashio asked him.
" Kagome…. Do you promise that you wont look at her funny or any thing?" Inu-yasha asked his parents. They both promised that they wouldn't. " well, while Kagome and I were at the hospital, I knottiest something. Kagome was thin. And I don't means she lost 10 pounds. She couldn't have weighed more then 65 pounds. You could see all her ribs. It was sickening. She had been starving her self for mounts, and she hadn't eaten any think for 2 and a half weeks." Inu-yasha signed as he told his parents about Kagome. He wondered if she would hate him for telling them. But Inu-yasha needed all the support he could get.
" My God. H- how could t- this happen….." was all Lilly could whisper as she started sobbing. Inu-yashio seemed to stare out in to space.
" Son, what did you do, after you found out?" Inu-yashio asked in a far away voice.
" I made her eat all of her tray and mine. Then I sent her to sleep. I eventually carried her to her house and put her in to her bed. I plan to make her eat every 2-3 hours, until she's up to her weight. Then I will make her eat 3 square meals a day." Inu-yasha told them. Inu-yashio signed.
" I'm sorry son, but you wont be here to take care of Kagome. I' sorry I promise, I will be there to help her, and so will Lilly. But you cant Inu-yasha." Inu-yashio told him sadly. Inu-yasha shot to his feet. He stared at his father, his heart pounding in his chest again.
" What! Were will I be? Why cant I take care of Kagome?" Inu-yasha asked afraid of the answer. Inu-yashio signed again.
" Your mother and I have decided to send you to a college in New York. You will have no contact with any one here. Not even Kagome. You will be there for seven years. By the time you come back, you will be 25.Inu-yasha you will be older and wiser. Kagome will be 24 then. You will have gotten your priorities strait by then. You are forbidden from contacting anyone. You will live in an apartment, get a job, and go to school . Its all arranged already. You leave in two days. We already packed your things." Inu-yashio said in a deep sad voice.
Inu-yasha could only gap at his father. He was serious, they were sending away. Inu-yasha let his head fall, and his bangs blocked his expression. How could he go seven years with out Kagome? How would he live?
" I know this must be hard to understand Inu-yasha, but it for the best. You hurt a lot of people, son. It's time for you to become a man. You will live on your own and grow up. You will learn responsibility. We know it will be hard for you to leave. It will not be easy for your mother and I ether. Kagome will be broken hearted, after having just saving you, to lose you again. Because whether or not you know it son, that girl cares for you deeply. But I feel you must be apart form her to grow up. To become a man that can support a family. You broke her heart when you decided to end you life. Just think about it a little more Inu-yasha. For she found you bleeding out in the woods. Inu-yasha who do you think had to wrap your arms in their ripped sweater? Their favorite sweater, to keep you from bleeding to death before the ambulance came. Who was the one to lay down in your blood, just to keep you breathing? Kagome was broken, her eyes looked so lost, when we got to the hospital. Inu-yasha you hurt her badly. You will go. And you will learn to stand on your own. Kagome was forced to grow up last night. So you will also be forced to grow up. You will grow up in a less harsh way then Kagome. You destroyed her childhood innocents Inu-yasha. That's something you can never give back.
Inu-yasha knotted and walked to the to the hall way and walked up to his room. All the way tears were falling down his cheeks. As he entered his room, he noted how empty it was only a blanket and pillow was let on an other wise bare mattress. At the end of his bed lay to suit cases that had to hold all his stuff. Inu-yasha looked blankly out his window. A storm was rolling it. Soon after it started to poor. Rain lashed at the window, as lighting aluminates his dark room, for he had not bothered to turn on the light.
The storm seemed to eco his feelings. Inu-yasha walked like a zombie over to his bed and curled up under the covers. His heart felt like it was dead. He lay his head back against his pillow, and stared unseeingly up at his sealing. His ears twitched as he heard the heavy rain drops hitting the tine roof. He couldn't help but picture Kagome. She was so beautiful. If any think he owned it to Kagome to learn how to stand own feet. He would leave, and try to become the man Kagome would want and need. He would support her, and be there for her when she needed something. He would learn to fix things, he vowed. Inu-yasha would save every once of money he could get in a bank account. For then when he had money of his own, how'd have something to offer Kagome.
He would stop caring what others thought of him. He would standup to them and prove them wrong. He would make his parents proud of him. He had seven years to make himself a better man. And he would become a man, well he was no human. But that had never mattered to his family or Kagome. When he came back he would be stronger. He would be better.
Then he would try to court Kagome. If she didn't want to court him, she would understand. Inu-yasha would live by Kagome and see to her. Like a mate, but yet not. Because she wouldn't be his then. If Kagome did hummer him by letting him court her, he would try his best to win her over. To make her love him. He would make her proud to know him. Kagome, he prayed that she would be his mate, his wife. Inu-yasha would learn how to be a good father, and how to take care of a pup.
Inu-yasha sighed and wondered where he would be in seven years. He sighed again and rolled over. He would be on his own. Inu-yasha pulled the covers up to his chin, and his thoughts fell back to Kagome. Inu-yasha wondered if there was a time he didn't think of Kagome at lest every other minute. He wondered if she thought about him this often. Inu-yasha hoped she was still asleep. She needed her rest.
He would go over to her house latter today. He also needed to sleep. Inu-yasha let his eyes drop down and he fell in to a soft slumber, totally exhausted by the days emotional stress. His dreams were of coming back from a long time gone, to find Kagome waiting for him with open arms. He would gladly fill them and kiss her. She would whisper to him that she had missed him so. Inu-yasha signed in content in his sleep.
Later that day.
Inu-yasha slowly woke up, and looked around his empty room. It was 7 at night. He had to go see Kagome. He had to tell her he was leaving. Inu-yasha go of his bed and walked down stairs. The house was dead silence. His parents must have gone to bed. Inu-yasha walked in to the kitchen and made a sandwich for Kagome and one for himself. He wrapped them in plastic bags and put them in to his pocket. Inu-yasha walked out the door and in to the cool night air. It smelt of rain, and every thing was drenched. Inu-yasha walked in the darkened twilit, toward Kagome home.
As he go there he stopped for a minute. Again he was reminded of a soldier. It was going to be tough to tell Kagome he was leaving for seven years. He walked up the walk away and knocked on the door. Rose answered.
" OH, Inu-yasha come in, come in! Don't be standing out in the cold all night." Rose said as she ushered him in to the house, and shout the door behind him.
" Where's Kagome?" Inu-yasha asked her politely.
" Up stairs in her room Inu-yasha." Rose told him. Inu-yasha knotted and thanked her. He then headed up stairs. Coming to Kagome's door, he stopped.
" Kagome it's me can I come in?" Inu-yasha asked.
" Yes. You can come in." Kagome told him from the other side of the door. Inu-yasha walked in to find Kagome still lying in bed. He walked over and sat down beside her. Inu-yasha pulled out the sandwiched and gave Kagome one. They sat there for a long time, just eating their sandwiched in silence. It was a calm, pleasant silence. When they were finished Inu-yasha knew he could keep nothing from her.
" Kagome I will be leaving in 3 days, I will be gone for seven years." He came right out and said it. Kagome gaped at him. Soon tears were running down her
" Y- you can't leave. You c- can't." Kagome looked up at him with pleading eye's. he had to turn away. He could never denial her anything when she looked at him like that, but he knew he had no choice.
" I wish I could stay, but its been decided for me already. It is for the best. When I leave, I can never have contact with you, and you cant contacted me. I will miss you ." Inu-yasha told her. Kagome shook her head and went in to his arms.
" I will miss you as well, Kagome. But I will see you again. We still have 3 days together. Lets make the best of it, I will buy to cameras and we'll take a hundred pictures." Inu-yasha said as he hugged her back, He smiled. She didn't seem so skinny now! Then he thought of an idea. " Kagome come with me to the store and well buy some cameras, and some junk food, we'll rent some movies. We'll stay up all night. With my father and mother, your mother and we'll all watch movies together. At my house ok? My parents will think it's a good I idea!" Inu-yasha told her excitedly.
" That sounds like so much fun lets go!" Kagome laughed. Inu-yasha felt his heart leap with happiness, if felt like forever since he had heard Kagome laugh. Soon they were running down the stairs asking rose for money. They had 50 dollars and Rose gave them another 30. They had 80 dollars. Rose was going to call and tell Inu-yasha's parents what was going on, while they were gone.
