Part One
Kagome was lying on her bed with the lights off, tears streaming down her face.
It was hard for her to focus. She was supposed to be doing homework, but with all the things on her mind, there was no way she was going to be able to concentrate.
She was having a massive fight with InuYasha, Sesshomaru was still after her, and she'd lost the jewel shards she had been carrying for months.
And there was one other thing.
But she wasn't ready to face that yet.
InuYasha was so angry with her for leaving, and it showed. Normally, when he was worried about her, InuYasha would come to her world and see what was wrong. But he wasn't even thinking about that, and Kagome knew it.
Their bond was so strong that the two knew what each other was thinking almost 24/7, but InuYasha was so angry that his mind was closed completely. Kagome couldn't get through to him.
And that hurt her most of all.
She couldn't keep InuYasha out of her head. He was a part of her, and probably always would be. She somehow knew, deep within herself, that he was her soulmate. It was hard to be away from him, but she knew that both of them needed time alone for a while.
"I wish he were here. I could tell him what I feel," she said aloud.
"Fight with InuYasha, Kagome?" It was her mother, standing in the doorway with a tray full of soda, pocky, and sushi, Kagome's favorite food. She set the tray on the little table beside Kagome's bed and bent down to kiss her daughter.
"Yes," said Kagome, sighing a little. "He's so headstrong sometimes, but then again, so am I."
"Ah," said her mother. "What was the fight about?"
"Something I wouldn't tell him."
"What was that something?" asked her mother gently.
"I can't tell you that."
Kagome's mother shook her head and stood up. "If you want to talk later, I'm always here. You know where to find me." Then she left.
That just made Kagome cry even more.
