With Or Without
Chapter 1
Kagome Higurashi pointed a finger at a very stunned hanyou, her eyes burned with fiery. "Admit it, you like me! For Christ Sake's, everyone knows!" she yelled. Her eyes were watering more and more until Inuyasha Takahashi couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace. He buried his face into her hair and sniffed the Strawberry Fusion shampoo. They were at the airport, standing at the entrance. Kagome had exactly ten minutes before the plane arrived.
"I do like you, Kagome. In fact, I love you. Hell, I'm in love with you. Don't leave. Please. Stay with me," he begged. Kagome nodded. She pulled away from him. Crouching down to retrieve her bags, Kagome looked at him, tears spilling down her cheeks. She wanted to stay. She wanted to say she loved him back. But saying that would only make it harder to go. So, she kissed him gently on the cheek and ran to catch the plane, never turning back to look at him.
Three years later-Sango Slayer was singing off key while she walked with her friends to the park. Her hair swung wildly in a ponytail as she swayed with her MP3 player. Miroku was tapping all kinds of crap with his drumsticks and Inuyasha had his arm around a very pretty girl. "Hey, Kikyo, what are you gonna do for your birthday? Not to mention Kagome's coming back on the same day," Sango asked, clicking off her MP3 and shoving it in her backpack.
Kikyo elbowed Inuyasha when he whispered something in her ear. She laughed a second after, unable to hold it and act serious. "Well, I was thinking we'd rent out Music Rox, invite everyone from school, and surprise her with a really awesome band. Maybe O.B.D," she replied. Sango nodded, thinking it through.
"Yeah, that'd be sweet!" Miroku contributed, swinging his drumsticks in his fingers. He wrapped an arm around Sango's waist. "You think they'd let me play drummer?" he asked, his face lighting up. Everyone laughed before they heard a faint call. Inuyasha had been playing with Kikyo's hair when he suddenly felt someone crash into him, sending them both to the ground.
"Hey! Listen, I don't know who you think you are, but-," Inuyasha stopped short. There, in front of him, lied a girl with a white halter-top and black shorts. She was amazingly beautiful. Her eyes were blue-green. Her hair was waist length and black. And her figure was incredible. Possibly a size-six. Not to mention she hand long slender legs and nice hips. He caught himself staring and realized everyone was standing around, questions in their eyes.
The beautiful girl laughed, her voice ringing with harmony. She had straight, perfect white teeth. Inuyasha scrambled up. "Idiot! You are just like when I left. It's me, Kagome!" she explained, helping herself up. She wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him. He hesitated, before wrapping his muscular arms around her waist. He finally realized, by smelling her Strawberry Fusion that no other girl would buy, that it really was Kagome. He smiled slowly, then picked her up and swung her around.
"Kagome! Woman, do you know how much we've missed you? Damn, I was near tears when I heard you were coming!" he joked. Kagome giggled. Finally she was let go. "Wow, you've gotten, hot."
Kagome twirled around, a smug smile on her lips. Sango cleared her throat. "Kagome?" Kagome spun around. She furrowed her eyebrows before smiling wide. She hugged Sango, wondering how'd she forgotten about her.
"Hey! I missed you! You look nice, girl," Kagome squealed. Sango replied with a faint, thanks, and pulled on Miroku's hand. "Who's that?"
Sango laughed at Kagome's joke. "Okay, so he lost a lot of pounds, and got contacts, and his face cleared up but-,"
Kagome's face turned into confusion. "No, seriously. Who the hell is he? And why should I know this stuff about him?" Kagome had such an innocent face on, that they all realized she really didn't who it was. Inuyasha was laughing loudly.
"Now, who's the idiot? It's Miroku. He changed, huh? But you can still see the pervert in his face that you know it's gotta be him," he said. Kagome's face lightened up. But then she narrowed her eyes at Inuyasha.
"Uh, Inuyasha, you're gonna end up the idiot if you call her that," Sango warned. Inuyasha smiled nervously. Kagome was walking towards him, forcing him to back up into a wooden fence about twenty feet tall. Her eyes were giving him a cold look. But all too soon, the eyes changed into a warm pool of blue-green and she kissed him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"Kagome! Inuyasha is my boyfriend!" Kagome whirled around to see Kikyo. She gasped, as startled as Kikyo. Kagome looked back at Inuyasha, staring at him.
