InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A White Rose ❯ A White Rose ( Chapter 1 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

A White Rose

We had been best friends since we were born, she stuck with me when my parents died, she was with me when I had my first broken heart, and she was there when I lost my first tooth. She was always there for me, but why did she have to leave now? Leave me alone in a world that didn't accept me, didn't want me, and didn't see my use. I remember every time we had ever shared…especially our first kiss together….

~flashback~

It was rainy outside, and a young girl with raven locks sat by a shrines sacred god tree, she looked no more then 15. She sat there and cried silently, deep in thought until a young boy, around her age, maybe older, with silver hair came around the street yelling her name.

He was soaked head to toe, and was running blindly through the streets of Tokyo.

“Kagome! Kagome?! Kag, babe, where are you?!” the young man yelled frantically… that is till he saw the figure at the top of the shrine steps.

He silently walked up the stairs, and wrapped his arms around the young girl, he buried his face in her hair whispering soft reassurances to her.

“Kagome, are you ok? I heard that Hojo dumped you, and as soon as I did I ran from my school to find you, so the least you could do is answer me!” he said in a mocking sternness.

The girl, Kagome, giggled a little

“I know that it's pathetic of me, InuYasha, but I thought we had something special, he probably found someone prettier, or more fun, or smarter then me” she then began to sobbed into the young mans shoulder. He held her tight not wanting to let go, he let her cry into his shoulder for all she was worth.

“Kag, babe, there is no one prettier, or more fun then you…and there never will be” InuYasha answered.

“You forgot smarter”

“Well I don't like to lie” InuYasha smirked arrogantly

Kagome playfully slapped him on the arm, and snuggled in to his warmth.

“I don't know why I'm so sad, I mean he didn't even remember my birthday, my favorite color, or my favorite flower” Kagome said.

There was a comfortable silence between the young couple. He thought it'd be good to have silence, at least for her to think. InuYasha was the first to break the silence.

“July 15, green, and a white rose because that was the flower your dad last gave you before he past away.” InuYasha silently answered.

Kagome looked up at him in pure shock.' How could he remember that?' thought a speechless Kagome.

“H-How do you remember that?”

“ I remember everything you have ever told me, the first time I met you was on your birthday, because my mom and your mom were best friends as you already know, you told me you hated pink and liked green on the first day of kindergarten, and you were crying when you told me about your dad, that was the second time I had ever seen you cry, and the first time was because you scraped your knee when Naraku Onigumo pushed you off the swing, I broke his nose after that. You hate broccoli, pink, and you don't like scary movies, you like swimming and you favorite subject is history” InuYasha said all in one breathe; he was looking into Kagome's eyes the whole time.

“How did you remember ALL THAT?”

“Kagome everything we have ever done, I remember, and if I wasn't there, you'd always tell me when you called me after school, or on the weekends. Kagome I can never forget about anything me and you do and I never will….kagome I…I-I love you, and I think I always have.” InuYasha confessed silently.

Kagome was in shock…she had always loved InuYasha, but she didn't want to ruin there friendship over a MIGHT be thing.

“InuYasha I love you too and I always have and will”

With that the young couple closed the distance between them in a passionate kiss.

~End of flashback~

I'll always love you Kagome, but please don't leave me, not now, not after everything we've been through, next week was supposed to be our wedding, don't die Kagome…I love you.

I couldn't believe this had happened, she said she'd be back to get milk and the next thing, I get a call from the police saying she was in an accident.

“Don't worry InuYasha she'll be ok” said my best friends, Sango and Miroku. I had known them since middle school. And I had known they were deeply in love with each other.

“I wish I could believe you guys….”

“InuYasha, man, have a little faith, she's strong she'll pull through” Miroku encouraged, while putting a hand on my shoulder.

“Thanks, for trying to help, for everything, you 2 are the only people that haven't judged me for being a hanyou, besides Kagome, and I thank you for it.”

Miroku and Sango nodded in understanding. I had never had an easy life, since I was a half breed, I belonged no where, I had to make a world of my own, too bad I was the only one in it. Then Kagome came, and I was happy…finally, she stuck with me when my parents died, she helped me pull pranks on Hiten and Manten for calling me a half breed, and she even let me take her to the prom, that and she became my intended.

I took Kagomes pale and lifeless hand in mine and kissed it, slowly her eyes fluttered open.

“K…Kagome?” I questioned not believing it.

Sango and Miroku walked a little closer, but kept the distance for privacy.

“I...InuYasha… I don't have much time, I know I'm dieing so just listen to me, I love you and I always will, Sango Miroku, your like my other family, I'll never ever forget you, InuYasha I'm sorry that we couldn't have the perfect wedding that we wanted, but know I'll never forget you…my love.” A single tear fell from her eyes.

“Kagome don't speak like that your going to be ok, and we're going to get married, and have a kid, a little girl, just like you've always wanted…Kagome, I love you please don't leave me…not now.” InuYasha silently begged.

“I love you too, and I'll always remember you, all of you, don't forget me….” with that her eyes closed one last time, and her chest stopped moving.

“K…Kagome! Don't leave me! I love you! You can't, not after what we've been through! I love you so much! Please come back to me!” InuYasha yell and cried at the same time. In the background, Sango cried on Miroku's shoulder, while he held her and forced back his own tears.

The nurses and doctors silently watched from the door…never had they seen such a couple in love…and never had they seen anything so tragic.

~Ten years later~

“Kagome, stop running around the house, your gonna fall and brake your neck one day, and I won't even try and help you! And neither will your dad or your uncle!” Yelled a women who was chasing her 7 year old daughter around the house, she was stopped when her husband encircled his arms around her waist.

“Miroku our daughter, isn't gonna listen to me!” she sighed in exasperation.

“Sango, sweet heart, you know she only listens to InuYasha, who do you think she got the habit of running from?”

Sango laughed

“I guess your right”

“There in the den playing a video game.”

~In the den~

“Uncle Yasha?” questioned a young Kagome.

“Yea Kag?” Asked InuYasha trying to win at the racing game, only to lose miserably

“Tell me about the lady I was named after again…please?” begged Kagome

InuYasha set down his game controller and took young Kagome into his lap.

“She was one of my best friends, and I loved her a lot and I still do, but she died a week before we were to marry, she was the most beautiful person I have ever met, outside and inside. I have never forgotten her, and I have never looked at another woman since.”

“Aren't you scared to die alone uncle Yasha?” questioned the young girl

“No, because I don't think Kagome has ever truly left my side.”

“ she sounds nice, I wish I could've met her, and I wish that you had married her, but don't worry uncle Yasha she'll always be by your side!” she said brightly she then got up and went to her mom to get dinner.

“You know, I knew you'd never forget her man, it was impossible, we all miss her, but she's always here.” Miroku said at the door his daughter had just left from.

“I know and I still remember everything about her.”

“Yea right man, you could barely remember your name half the time!” Miroku teased, he hated seeing his best friend so sad, so he thought he'd liven the mood.

“Hahaha very funny!”

“Well you know I'm right, you probably don't even remember her favorite…I dunno flower, well come on dinner is ready” Miroku teased, and with that he left for the dinning room.

InuYasha stood there for a minute, and then smiled and said…

“A white rose” then he walked out of the room and to the dinner table.
