Friends!
By Gogina
A/N: I wrote this a while ago. It's also posted on ff.net. Please, let me know if I should continue this or not.
Disclaimer - I promise, I'll put them back when I'm done.
Summary - Friends are supposed to stay by you, help you, comfort you - not stab you in the back. (AU. Inuyasha and Kagome go to the same school in modern day Japan.)
A friend loves at all times. -Proverbs 17:17
The water rushing from the sky snapped her out of her daydream and brought her back to reality. The smell of salt was fresh in the air, but not only from the tears escaping out of her eyes. Remembering that day was like a pain that constantly killed her until she had no more energy left.
“Dear, won't you please come inside?” he mother called to her, worriedly. “You'll catch pneumonia out here.”
The girl lowered her head, wiping the tears away quickly as she put on a fake smile.
“I'll be right there,” she promised, glancing once more out into the pouring down rain. Why did you have to betray me, Inuyasha?
Flashback . . .
Kagome Higurashi took a step back, eyes wide in astonishment. The person standing in front of her realized what he had done and quietly cursed.
“Kagome, I'm sorry,” he said, searching her eyes for something, anything, that might say that she'd forgive him.
“How could you?” she asked, gesturing towards the papers in his hands. “You've been the ones spreading those rumors?The one with the flyers? I thought we were friends. I thought we shared secrets, cried when the other was hurt, happy when the other was joyful. I thought we could be-“
Inuyasha looked at the ground, murmuring, “We are, Kags.”
She lost it then.
“How can you say that when you're standing there with a stack of those-those reputation destroyers in your hands? How the hell can you be so calm about all of this?”
Her once best friend dropped the flyers, scattering them everywhere. He made no move to pick them up.
“I never want to see you again, Inuyasha,” she whispered, loud enough for only him to hear. “Don't call me, don't write to me, don't talk to me, don't even look at me. Just, leave me alone!”
That was the moment she had run out of the school, all the way home, and into the arms of her mother, who had been weeding the garden at the time.
End Flashback . . .
“Maybe someday I can forgive him,” she thought out loud to herself. “Maybe we can learn to be friends again. Maybe I'm just kidding myself.”
Her hands reached up and around her neck, unlatching the locket Inuyasha had bought for her all those years ago. Will a sad smile and a pained heart, Kagome watched as it fell to the earth, breaking in two.
Two pictures are inside each section. One, of Kagome, with a bright smile on her face. The other, of Inuyasha, smiling, a rare occurrence for him. The locket had broken in two, just like their friendship. And Kagome knew, it would never be repaired again.
A/N: So, yeah. Hope you all enjoyed. Let me know if you want me to continue this.
