Falling

Title: Falling

Chapter 2: I’ll miss you too…

Rating: PG – 13

Summary: I’m Kagome. Inuyasha is my best friend in the world and my secret crush. We’ve known each other since we were practically born. Our parents are best friends, and I guess it runs in the family. There is nothing that we hid from each other. Honesty is essential in a friendship of any sort. Well okay so there are some secrets… See he has a girlfriend named Kikyo. Even though I don’t like her personally, because of her mean attitude towards me, I can’t deny his happiness. You know I felt like I was on top of the world. Then it all came tumbling down. My heart was broken by my best friend because of his girlfriend’s wishes, and soon found myself moving away. I couldn’t face him, but I came back just like most people. The only thing is that I think I’m falling in love with his brother... That can’t be right though… I love Inuyasha… Right?

“Sometimes the hardest thing is letting go.”

When I woke up the next morning I felt a little sad. My mom told me I should say all my good byes today. Who was I going to tell? I was going to tell Sango where I was going, but not Inuyasha. I couldn’t leave him knowing that he felt guilty. I did my normal routine. In a while I was ready and headed down to the breakfast table. Everyone had found out about my little ordeal with Inuyasha, but didn’t bring it up. “Kagome dear?” my mom said softly

“Yes?” I automatically answered

“If it’s not so much trouble could you tell Sesshomaru, Izayoi, and Inutaisho about us moving? Could you tell them after school today?” she suggested

I knew she just wanted to tell them because she wanted to keep in touch with them. They were her best friends, and deserved to tell them instead of all of a sudden disappearing out of the blue. It would worry them. It was the least I could do for my mother. I knew that if I didn’t she would dearly miss them all.

There was a good side to this too. I smiled and nodded. I was going to go see Sesshomaru. He’s one year older than me so we don’t really talk on a daily basis. The truth is that he always helps me with my problems. He always does that for me. Sometimes I think I have a stronger bond with him than Inuyasha, his own half brother. It’s funny really if you think about it.

I went to school just like everyday. Sango came rushing up to me greeting me with a wave of acknowledgement. “So how are you Kagome? Everything okay?” she asked

I knew that she was trying not to bring up what happened yesterday, but I knew it couldn’t be helped. If I were lucky then no one would really notice that my best friend doesn’t hang out with me anymore. It’s just one of the many wonders of life. Many people wonder for what reason things happen. Would it be a good one, or bad? Sometimes it’s a surprise to both sides. I want to know why it happened to me. “Um Sango I’m moving.” I whispered smiling slightly

“Wh- what?” stammered Sango

“I’m going to Kyoto to clear my head for a while.” I revealed to her shocked expression

“You’re going?” she asked again

“I’ll visit. It’s not forever I promise.” I whined

“Promise?” she asked still unsure of my decision

“Cross my heart and hope to die. Stick a dirty needle in my eye.” I chanted just like when we were in middle school

“Are you going to tell Inuyasha?” she whispered

I stopped and thought. I had decided not to tell him. That decision still stood in my head. “No, but you can see me tomorrow at the air port before I leave. Just don’t tell him that I’m moving before I’m gone. I don’t want to face him just yet.” I answered making sure that he wasn’t near by

Sango started crying, even though she had nothing to worry about. I was going to visit her. I will call her, e – mail her, instant messenger her. Then again I wasn’t going to have the shopping spree’s I love with her. I wouldn’t have sleepovers like I used to. I too started crying. We hugged each other and cried in each other’s embrace. After a while we whipped our tears. When we were done I frowned at her. “I won’t tell him I’m leaving Sango.” I repeated for her

She nodded in agreement. She knew I wouldn’t and agreed that she wouldn’t tell him while I was still here in Tokyo. Both of us smiled and headed in towards the classroom. Today we were going to go out and eat dinner somewhere because lunch after school was out of the question. I had promised mom that I would tell the Taisho’s except Inuyasha that we were moving. Sango and I decided to go out at 6:00 p.m. Sango would pick me up in her car and we would spend the time together until 10 at night.

I entered the classroom overly happy or at least I made it look like that. Deep inside I felt as if I was going to have a nervous breakdown. I looked over at Inuyasha. I cocked my head to the side and smiled. I saw that Inuyasha was confused at my re - found happiness without him. He was always the curious one.

If he could have happiness without me so could I. I turned around and faced the teacher. He lectures us on how in Sengoku Jaidi there were demons and monks. The usual craziness in this place we call school. I mean demons seriously. Even then history is well “history” I don’t think I really care.

After class Inuyasha came up to us meaning Sango and I. “Kagome!” he waved at me

I smiled and waved back. I looked over at Sango who also waved. She knew she had to keep a charade up so it doesn’t seem weird that I’m happy all of a sudden and everything. “Hey Inuyasha.” I smiled

“How come you are so happy today?” he asked me with a little suspicion

I frowned at his comment. “Am I not allowed to be happy?” I asked him through gritted teeth

Was it not allowed for a mourning girl to be happy? Why should everyone be happy and I can’t. Why can Inuyasha be happy and I can’t? Why is it always that I lose for doing good deeds for others? “No, no, it’s just that… never mind.” He contemplated

“That’s right Inuyasha. If you can be happy with Kikyo, then I can be happy with myself. Even if it’s with or without you.” I growled at him

He looked at me astonished. He knew that I never really got angry, even though I was highly emotional. I would get a little mad, but not angry like this. Someone would have to mess up big time for me to be acting like this and Inuyasha had. “Calm down Kagome. I told you I was sorry.” He whispered

“Then tell me where is Kikyo?” I asked

“She’s…” thought Inuyasha, but he really didn’t know

“You mean she’s the one next to Naraku?” I yelled pointing towards them

I saw Inuyasha turn around and gasp. It was true Kikyo was kissing Naraku. I’m guessing that sooner or later they’ll sort this out and get back together. Too bad I wouldn’t be here to see it. Sigh life is so confusing. I saw Inuyasha stomp over to Kikyo and yell at her. Then I heard him say that it was “over.” I knew it wouldn’t last. The minute Kikyo comes begging for forgiveness he’ll take her back. Inuyasha was a sucker for anyone who begged to him. It hade him feel superior.

I sighed and headed towards my next class. After school was over I went over to the Taisho’s house. I knocked at the door and Inuyasha opened it up. He smiled at me. “Hey Kagome? Come here to talk to me?” he asked me

I laughed inside my head, “No I came to talk to Sesshomaru.” I easily replied while nodding my head

I knew Inuyasha would get all mad because I wasn’t here to see him, but his brother. They have a jealousy rivalry, which is kind of funny at times. I saw his smile turn up side down. His eyes narrowed and his eyebrows scrunched up. “You came to see HIM! Fine! SESSHOMARU GET YOU STUPID SELF DOWN HERE!” shouted Inuyasha

He was angry, but I couldn’t care at the moment. He was the cause of my sadness. He was the cause of everything that was going wrong. The next thing I knew Sesshomaru was standing next to Inuyasha. Inuyasha was waiting for me to talk, and so was Sesshomaru. “Um Inuyasha alone!” I clarified for him

I saw Inuyasha’s eyes flash with sadness, but he left. Sesshomaru invited me in and we went into the living room. Once we were comfortable Sesshomaru was the one to begin speaking. “So Kagome why do I have the pleasure to see you?” he asked cockily

“Um Sesshomaru my mom told me to tell your family besides Inuyasha that we’re moving to Kyoto.” I replied quietly

His smirk turned into a frown. “Why?” he simply asked

“Well Inuyasha and Kikyo had a fight about how I was spending too much time with him. I barely spend time anyway because of her. Anyway she told him to stop being my friend… I just need to get away for a while to clear my head. I mean I’ve been his friend since we were in diapers…” I cried softly as tears slipped down my cheek

I looked up at Sesshomaru who seemed like he was thinking. Sesshomaru and I were close, but Inuyasha never knew that. He nodded. “I will tell them, but you have to visit okay?” he asked, but mostly ordered

I smiled and nodded my head. I gave him a big hug. I always acted childish around him, and he always showed emotions around me. After a while I got up and said good-bye. On the way out I saw Inuyasha and smiled at him. I ran up to him giving him a hug and waved good-bye. It was the last hug he would ever get from me.

When I came home at 10:00 p.m. I told my mom of all the fun I had with Sango. First we went shopping for some clothes, because I just love shopping and so does Sango. We bought about 3 bags worth of clothes. Then we went to Mc Donald’s for some burger and fries. Sango and I talked about how we’re going to keep in touch everyday and all the plans so we have no chance of forgetting each other.

After eating she dropped me home and told me she’d be here at 8:00 in the morning to take us to the airport. Then she would say good-bye, which was hard for her to even speak. I went to my bed and slept my last time for now in my room, which I had been living in since I was born.

In the morning my mom woke me up extra early so I could get everything ready. I walked out the door with my things and looked up to the rising sun. I smiled a little, but it was going to be last time staying here. The only times I would be here was to visit, nothing more, but visit. Sango came up to me with her keys in her hands. The whole family walked to the car. We would have the house still for all the times we would hopefully visit.

As I got in the car I thought I saw a flash of silver, but nodded my head trying to get those thoughts about Inuyasha out of my head. Sango drove us to the airport. We checked in and came in time to board. I started to get on but Sango came up behind me and held onto my shoulder. I put down my things and turned around giving her a big hug. “I’m going to miss you Kagome. Call me as soon as you reach Kyoto. I don’t care if it’s in school or not. Call me.” She cried into my shoulder

“I promise Sango. I promise to call you. Tell me what happens when Inuyasha finds out. Tell me about you day and don’t leave anything out. You’re like a sister to me, and I will never forget you. Never! Inuyasha deserved his happiness even if it’s without me.” I softly replied

The lady at the counter told us that I had to board soon and I did. Giving last one hug I went on my way. Sango… Inuyasha… Sesshomaru…I will miss you all… The next thing I knew my mom was shaking me. “Kagome dear get up.” She whispered

“What is it mom?” I groaned opening my eyes

“We’re in Kyoto. We need to exit the plane.” She smiled at me like the way a mother could only do

I sat up and unbuckled. After getting all out luggage we headed towards out new house. It was just like our other house. All the bedrooms were downstairs except for mine, which was on the second floor. There was one bathroom and a staircase leading to the attic. I took my entire luggage and dropped it to the floor. My room was a light shade of cream and silver. The bed sheets were red, and the bedpost was a traditional bark brown.

I saw a cord to the phone and picked it up. I promised Sango that I would call. Dialing her number I waited for her to pick up. After 3 rings I heard a hello on the other side of the phone. “Sango it’s Kagome… how did it go?” I asked her

“It went… well…” Sango described to me

Flashback

Sango reached school and sat down in her seat. She felt lonely without Kagome next to her. Soon enough Inuyasha came up to her. Sango turned around and looked at him. “Where’s Kagome?” he asked

“She’s gone.” Was the only thing Sango replied

“WHAT do you mean GONE?” he shouted at her

“She moved away…” Sango whispered

“WHAT? WHY DIDN’T SHE TELL ME?” Inuyasha yelled and everyone turned towards them

“What did you think Inuyasha? You’ve been friends for 16 years and you break that friendship of because of your jealous girlfriend that goes around cheating on you? What did you expect? Did you expect that she’d forgive and forget? That what you did wouldn’t affect her at all? That what you did was okay? She loved you, but you were too blind to see it. Now she’s gone. I don’t know when she’ll be back. You won’t know what might happen to her. It was your fault for breaking her heart. To say that in the end that she still forgave you. You know what were her last words?” asked Sango

“Don’t go blaming this on me. I didn’t tell her to move away. I said I was sorry.” Inuyasha defended himself

“Sorry doesn’t cut it. Her last words before she went on that plane were ‘Inuyasha deserved his happiness even if it’s without me.’ Even when you hurt her she thought about you. Could you ever get that from Kikyo? Would she ever do that for you? No she wouldn’t and you know it.” Sango cried

“Kagome… Kagome… KAGOME!” shouted Inuyasha as the feeling of pain, guilt, sadness, and most of all betrayal hit him as he fell to his knees while twin tear drops went down his cheek

He knew that was he did hurt her. Sango was telling the truth. Then again could he expect Kikyo to be like Kagome and care for him deeply? Many of the girls he dated were after his money, and still Kagome didn’t mind that he told her about them. He could tell her anything. She was his best friend, and now she was gone… gone from him. Who would he go to now?

End Flashback

“Inuyasha deserves to be happy. He deserves to have new friends. I know that I will never replace him Sango. I miss him even if he doesn’t want me.” I cried over the phone

“I know Kagome… I know…” was the last thing I heard Sango say before she hug up

I cried. The tears went down my face. After a while I decided to make the best of this. It was only a year or two anyway. I could handle it. Soon I would see all my friends again. I would spend time with them and enjoy days the way we used to. There was nothing that could keep me from my goal of happiness, nothing.

Okay so Inuyasha was a little dramatic but w/e it's life and he's OOC!
