Goodbye Isn't Forever

Chapter 3

The next day at school Kagome had done anything to pay attention but her mind kept wandering. Mostly she kept thinking about Inuyasha. The other times she would think about why she was feeling so tired all of a sudden. Usually she would wake up easily at seven every morning, unless Sango would wake her up, but recently, Sango had had to drag her out of bed. Her body was soar and all she wanted to do was stay in bed and sleep. Maybe she was getting sick.

The first half of the day went by quickly for her. The bell rang for lunch and she slowly stood up to go meet her friends.

"Ms. Higurashi." Her teacher called. She stopped walking and turned towards him.

"Yes, Mr. Musaki?"

"I've been noticing that you've been spacing out lately. Are you feeling alright?"

She nodded. "I'm fine. Just a lot of things on my mind."

"Well don't let it get all your attention. You do want to keep your grades up right?"

"Yeah. I will." She said and waved as she walked out. Waving to people in the hall way, she walked fast to her locker to drop off her books for first half of classes and get her books for the second half.

"Hey Kagome!" Kagome stifled a sigh and forced a smile as she closed her locker.

"Hey Kouga." She said.

He ran up to her and slipped his arm over her shoulders, something that she didn't like he did. "So you free this Saturday?" He asked her.

"Um...I don't know yet. I'll get back to you on that."

"Alright. See ya later." He kissed her cheek and ran off before she could say anything. Ignoring the people saying hi to her in the hallway she walked outside to the bench where Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku were waiting for her.

"Hey Kag's. What took so long?" Sango asked.

"Just had some...interuptions. Sorry." She said sitting on the bench next to Inuyasha.

"Where's your lunch?" Inuyasha asked.

"I forgot to bring lunch money this morning."

"Here." Inuyasha handed her some fries and his drink.

"Thanks." She took them and started eating.

"Miroku you think every girl is hot." Sango said.

"Yeah well...they are." She rolled her eyes and threw a fry at him. "But of course none of them can compare to you Sango!"

"Oh shut up! You're pathetic!" She laughed.

"I want a puppy." Kagome said randomly.

Sango looked at her then at Inuyasha then back at her. "You got one right there Kagome!" She said pointing at Inuyasha.

Kagome and Miroku laughed while Inuyasha glared at Sango. "That ain't funny bitch." He growled.

Kagome rubbed his ears. "Aww. My puppy is mad." She cooed.

"Hey! Don't touch the ears!" Inuyasha growled pushing her hand away. He turned his head to hide his blush. Kagome and Sango giggled. "Anyways you already have a cat. Why do you want a dog?"

"'Cuz they're cute." She said simply.

"Hey Higurashi." A cold voice said from behind them. Everyone turned to see Kikyo walking towards them. Kagome turned back around and groaned.

"Hey Kikyo." She groaned.

"How's little miss know-it-all?" She asked glaring at her.

"How's little miss whore?" Kagome asked glaring right back.

Kagome and Kikyo had always been enemies. Ever since Kikyo had exchanged to their school in the eigth grade she had fallen in 'love' with Inuyasha and held a grudge against Kagome since they were best friends.

"You better take that back." She said.

"And what if I don't?"

Kikyo glared and turned to walk away.

"Gods I hate her." She said.

"Same here." Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku said.

After lunch was over all four of them got ready for gym class.

"Great. I can't wait to run ten laps today around the field. Goody!" Sango said sarcastically. Kagome and Sango left the guys to go into the girls locker room. Inuyasha and Miroku left to the boys locker room.

After they all got changed into their gym uniforms they went outside.

"Alright everyone. You know the drill. One lap in less than a minute. If one person goes over a minute you have to do another one. Now go!" He blew his whistle.

"Damn, I hate running." Kagome mumbled.

"Just get it over with." Sango said running beside her.

"Inuyasha was right. He does make you run a lot."

"Hey! I heard my name!" Inuyasha yelled from behind them. Him and Miroku ran up to catch up to the girls. "What ya'll saying 'bout me?" He asked.

"Nothing important." Kagome said.

"Feh."

"Riko, you're late! Another lap!" Mr. Kuyo said again.

Kagome and Sango groaned. This was their fourth lap and they were getting tired. Especially Kagome, she was really out of it and pale.

"Are you feeling okay Kag's?" Sango asked.

Kagome nodded and forced herself to run beside Sango. Inuyasha and Miroku were way ahead of them. Suddenly Kagome stopped running and fell to her knees.

"Kagome!" Sango yelled and knelt beside her. "Are you okay? What's wrong?"

"I can't run anymore. Too tired." Kagome said, her eyes dazed.

"It's okay. Come on. Let's get you to the nurse." Sango said helping her to her feet.

"Higurashi! Tajiya! What are you doing on the ground?" Mr. Kuyo yelled.

"For your information, Kagome is about to faint because you keep presurring us to run!"

"What's wrong with her?" Inuyasha asked panicked as he ran up to them with Miroku.

"I don't know. She just collapsed and said she was tired. I'm taking her to the nurse."

"I got her." Inuyasha said and picked her up bridal style. Sango and Miroku followed Inuyasha to the nurses office.

"Takahashi? What's wrong with Ms. Higurashi?" Mrs. Niraki asked - the school nurse.

"She almost fainted during gym class when Mr. Kuyo made us run laps."

"Put her here." She motioned for Inuyasha to lay her on the bed. "You must go back to class. I'll call her mother to come pick her up."

Inuyasha nodded. "You gonna be alright?" He asked Kagome.

She nodded. "Yeah. I'm just exhausted." Inuyasha looked at her a few more moments then left with Sango and Miroku to go back to class.

"You want to tell me what happen Ms. Higurashi?" Mrs. Niraki asked.

Kagome nodded. "I was running. And he made us do four laps around the field. I was really tired and I couldn't breathe. I've been really tired lately though. Maybe I just have the flu or something."

"Well I'm going to call your mother to come pick you up alright?"

"Okay." Kagome nodded and shut her eyes.

"Kagome? Sweety are you alright?" Mrs. Higurashi asked sitting on the edge of Kagomes bed in the nurses office.

Kagome opened her eyes and looked at her mom. She smiled. "Hi mom. I'm just tired."

Mrs. Higurashi nodded and smiled back. She touched her hair and smoothed it back and then touched her cheek to her neck and her brows furrowed. "Honey, why is your neck swollen?"

"What?" Kagome asked confused.

"It looks like your glands are swollen." She said. "Come on. We're going to the doctor." She said and helped Kagome to her feet.

"Mom. It's probably just the flu. I'm fine." She argued.

"Better safe than sorry. This doesn't sound good. And I want to make sure everything is okay."

Kagome sighed but didn't argue. She signed out Kagome and they left the school. Her mom called the doctor and told them she was on her way with Kagome.

When they got there they took the elevator to the fifth floor and went inside to wait to be called in.

"Ms. Higurashi?"

"That's me." Kagome said and stood up.

"The doctor is ready to see you."

Kagome nodded and went inside with her mom.

"Good afternoon. How are you doing?" Mrs. Himori asked.

"I just wanted her to get a check-up. Her glands in her neck are swollen and in school earlier she almost fainted from running too much." Her mother explained.

"I told her it's just the flu, right? Nothing serious." Kagome shruged.

"Let's check you up. Sit here please." The doctor said ignoring Kagomes question. She did the basics, check her blood temperature, breathing, eyes, etc. Then she felt around on her neck and under her shoulders. "I'll be right back." She told them and left the room.

Kagome furrowed her brows together and looked at her mom confused. "What was that about?"

Her mom shrugged. "Probably went to get a flu shot."

"Oh." Kagome winced at the thought of needles. She always hated them.

They stayed silent until the doctor came back. "Kagome. I have some questions for you." The doctor said.

Kagome nodded. "Okay."

"How have you been feeling lately? Very tired?"

She nodded again. "Yeah. I try to get a lot of sleep, but it doesn't seem to help."

"What about your appetite? Is it going low?"

"Well...I haven't been eating much. I'm just not hungry."

The doctor nodded.

"I've also been waking up with cold sweats at night, but that's also a symptom of the flu right?"

The doctor ignored her question. "I'm going to need to take some blood test." She said.

Kagomes eyes widened. "Blood test? Why? For what?"

"We just need to check some things out with your blood."

"Is it serious?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.

"We don't know yet." She said concernly and walked back out. Kagome nor Mrs. Higurashi spoke until two more doctors came back in the room. Mrs. Himori and another male doctor.

"Good afternoon ladies." The male doctor said.

Kagome nodded and Mrs. Higurashi shook his hand. They took Kagome to another room where they stuck three needles in her and took it for some test. Kagome and her mother went to the waiting room and after an hour they were called back in. The male doctor from before had an expressionless face and they couldn't tell if he had good news or bad news. They sat on the chairs in his office while he put his glasses on.

"Mrs. Higurashi. Has there been any history of cancer in your family?" He asked.

Mrs. Higurashi looked shocked and nodded. "Yes. My father, Kagomes grandfather, died last year from a heart attack caused by cancer."

Kagome looked from her mom to the doctor. What did cancer have to do with her flu? She wanted to asked something, anything, but she couldn't find her voice through the thick lump in her throat.

"Ms. Higurashi. This isn't some flu you have." He said.

Kagome swallowed. "W-What is it?" She asked afraid to know the answer.

"Your symptoms result to the Hodgkins disease - a type of cancer."
