InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ I'll miss ya ❯ Chapter 4

Chapter 4

I woke up from a blood curtailing scream that was coming from the upstairs apartment. `Kari!' I thought in panic and ran up the stairs at super high speed. "Kari are you ok? What's wrong?" I said as I heard whimpering from the bedroom. "Kari?! What is it?" I asked her again with fear laced in my voice. I was hoping that it was nothing like that freaky nightmare I had had. I opened the door and saw that Kari had a huge cut on her side that was bleeding like hell. "How did you get that?" I asked her with concern.

"I dunno" Kari answered still whimpering.

"Come here." I said taking her by the hand and walking toward the bathroom. I took a towel and wet it a little, I cleaned off the blood and as I passed each part the cut healed itself but formed a bad scar.

"There you go all better now." I said looking at my best friend. "So tell me Kari, how did you get it?"

"I had a dream where some demon sliced me open from the side and when I woke up there was blood all over and it was coming from the side, just like in my dream." Kari explained. "I'm sorry to have awakened you."

"No its ok, you could go down to that bedroom if you like. I'm gonna move my stuff up here so you know I dun really wanna be in your way or you in mine." I smiled.

I went down to the downstairs bedroom and got all of my stuff together. Kari came in a few times and asked if she could help but I said that it was alright and I wanted to do this by myself. It took me practically the whole day to move all of my things up stairs. After I was done I went for a walk.

As I was walking I remembered the smell of my x friend. I didn't just remember it I smelled it. I knew he was close by. I felt it when I left the house that something big was going to happen. And now here I am walking down the same streets that he did, no not just walking, it wasn't a coincidence it was my nose it was leading me to him. I wasn't even that sure if I wanted to see him now. Why was I doing this? I could easily stop paying attention to the scents out side which I often did. But he wasn't just an ex friend, he was someone that I fell for and liked for three years. I had remembered the day i had first seen him with all of his friends. The shoulder length blonde hair, the deep blue eyes, a kid in jeans and blue t-shirt, or was it black I couldn't remember that anymore. I had dreamed of this day for a few months now, meeting him and seeing him again. What would I do? And now here I was following his scent just to see him.

He was different back then. Not like now, yes he was an ass but he wasn't the same. What he had done to me last summer and at the beginning of school this year was unforgivable. He had beautiful blond shoulder length hair back then and now they were black. A black haired boy with deep blue eyes, a beautiful guy, and I fell for him, and he… he screwed me over. I was still following his scent when I walked into a near by park. `There by the swing.' I thought. I had no clue why I was doing this… All I knew was that I was following my nose. As I got closer to the swings I noticed that he was totally alone `no wonder I didn't smell anyone else's scents.' I said to myself. I put on her headphones so I could pretend that he wasn't even there. He always thought I was bit freaky what with the cat ears and all. I sat on the only swing available, the one right next to him. I pretended not to pay any attention to him. I blasted my Mp3 and softly sung along to Juliana Theory's "Don't push love away".

Here's a thought, if you're willing to listen

I only tell the truth of the feelings I'm given

Can you hear me now?

Listen

Whispers in the rain

Listen

Don't push love away, you know you do

It's all we have

It's a chore holding onto a vision

Don't leave her high and dry

She's the one you'll be missing

Can you hear me now?

Listen

Whispers in the rain, while you're awake

Don't push love away, you know you do

It's all we have

I hate to think hesitation is a burden

A bittersweet design for a lesson you're learning

She's crying

Can you feel me now this time?

Whispers in the rain, lying awake

Don't push love away, you know you do

It's all we have

Here's a thought, if you're willing to listen.

As soon as the song was over I felt eyes upon me, he had never heard me sing before, it was really creepy that he was looking at me when I finished singing. He was watching me; did he still have feelings for me? I turned my face to him and caught him staring at me. I got lost in the deep blue eyes; they were like a deep ocean that was begging me to enter. I turned away from him remembering everything. `I can't still have feelings for him, its not going to do any good to anyone.' I thought. My eyes were burning I couldn't cry. It wasn't allowed. He always saw it when I showed weakness; well he would never see it again. He mumbled something under his breath, something only my strong senses could catch. `Does he really think of me that way? Oh, bloody cats… Why?!?!' She cried out inside. `I dedicate this song to you…' Looking up to the sky I sung along with what was in my Mp3 player.

Please don't turn your eyes my way.

They're unnerving and undeniable.

Underneath all the work that you do.

I can feel the real you.

I can see the real you.

You're a jewel to sparkle around my neck.

The fragrant scent of morning I cannot forget.

You're a jewel to sparkle around my neck.

The fragrant scent of morning I cannot forget.

Smiling wide slender frame.

You're removable in recollection.

Underneath everything that you do.

I can feel the real you.

I can see inside you.

You're a jewel to sparkle around my neck.

The fragrant scent of morning I cannot forget.

You're a jewel to sparkle around my neck.

The fragrant scent of morning I cannot forget

You're a jewel to sparkle.

You're a jewel to sparkle.

Through my mind you wander.

Spell to bind forever.

Pain and ease together.

Love can pull us under

You're a jewel to sparkle around my neck.

The fragrant scent of morning I cannot forget.

You're a jewel to sparkle around my neck.

The fragrant scent of morning I cannot forget

I was swinging terribly high by the time the song ended. Looking down at him only when I was in the air I noticed he was looking at me when I was closer to the ground. "Are you just going to sit there taking up space and not even bother giving the swing to the little kid over there, or are you going to do something?" I said all of the sudden. He got up as fast as he could and gave the swing to the little boy. I laughed inside. He just stood there by the gate looking at me. "Yes?" I knew he wanted to say something to me but didn't have the guts to do so. "Um.. Its nothing, it doesn't even matter now." He said quietly knowing that I would be able to hear it.

"Oh really it doesn't?" I said jumping off her swing in midair, landing gracefully on the ground.

"Um… W…Well no… N…not really." He staggered over his words. I was still laughing on the inside.

"Hmm ok…" I turned to leave but felt a hand on my arm

"Its not what I say that matters anymore, its what I do." He said looking straight into my eyes. He pulled me closer to himself and kissed me.

`What did you just say?!?! Oh kittens no! I can't do this. Its not right. He's not mine, bad Tori!... bad Tori!' No matter how much I screamed at myself there was no way I could change what had just happened. I stood there not moving for a little while `Snap out of it already! What you did was stupid, how could you do that to us?!' I screamed at myself.

"I'm sorry but what we had, what we lost will never be found again." I said to him and left. "I dedicated those two songs to you." I said with out turning around. Blasting my Mp3 I went home.

*****************************

Kagome met up with Sango again after school. It was a daily thing now. This time they went to the city. "Man I love your uncle's car."

"So do I, I also love my uncle for letting me borrow it when ever I need it. I guess getting your license really does help people escape everything. I love driving."

"Yup, I love it too. It's a great feeling, when you know you could leave the house just to drive, to escape your problems. Well not for long but you know what I mean." Kagome laughed

"Ok so what are we doing today and where are we going?"

"Um. Mom said that there are a whole bunch of `Help wanted' signs out, so we go and try to get a job. One at a time of course."

"Ok cool. I like that idea. Did you tell your mom about the furniture?"

"Yea I did, she went over there today and looked at everything we liked and she said that the total price of it all is do-able."

"Ok great." Sango smiled a great big smile. "Hey remember that kid from the lunch room? The one with the long white hair and those cute little ears?"

"Yea what about him?"

"He's pretty lookin. And he has a really pretty smile" They both laughed, the whole way to the city they were talking about school and laughing their hearts out.

"Oh look there's a `help wanted' sign right there. Should I go in or do you want to take this one?" Sango asked

"Um… well since it's a sword shop I think you should take it" Kagome smiled. "I don't know much about them, I'm better with archery."

"Well maybe they need two people. C'mon lets try it together."

They went in and asked if they needed two people and they were asked a few question because they didn't have a resume. After a few minutes inside they came out. Sango hugged Kagome and they ran to the car.

"Kagome, I just realized… We could help your mom with the furniture. I mean it shouldn't be that hard. Look we work everyday and we get 10 an hour we work for 5 hours that's not bad for a part time job, especially when we start out with $10 an hour."

"You're right Sango. I think it would be better if we do that.. As long as we do this… We give her half of what we get in a week, so that's 25 from me and 25 from you, that way it all adds up to a days work and we get $25 to ourselves on other expenses."

"Ok cool. Ok well its getting late we should drive home."

They drove home talking about silly little things. Nothing important or serious. As they turned the corner to Kagome's house they almost hit Tori.

"Bleeding cats what the hell is your problem. Do you really want me dead?! Cuz its not a problem." I yelled.

"No I'm really sorry, I didn't see you." Sango apologized.

"Yea whatever." I said walking away.

"Hey Tori, would you like to hang out with us one of these day?" Kagome asked her.

"Um… I'm not really your type, I'm sorry."

"Well you don't even know us, how do you know how's out type and who isn't."

"Alright, fine how about tomorrow after school."

Kagome smiled and Sango drove away.

`At least I'm making friends.' I thought as I walked home. `That Sango chick has a cool car. Kari's is still better.'

I opened the door to my own apartment and went to my room and started on the homework, the one I was suppose to finish last night. I finished it and sat there thinking about what had happened at the park. I liked him yes. But I didn't like him any more. There was not way I would want to repeat everything that had happened last year. I went to bed not even bothering going down stairs.

------------------------------

"Mom, Sango and I a found great job in the city. Its in this store called `Treasures' they have everything there; swords, boomerangs, bows and arrows, knifes. It's a great store and the pay is great. Its 10 bucks an hour mom. And we work for 5 hours. I'm telling you it's a great thing. Thanks mom." Kagome kissed her mom and went to her room. She was extremely tired so she went straight to bed.
