Da Da Da Da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now

Kagome woke up to the refreshing scent of her boyfriend, Sesshomaru's sheets. He had allowed her to stay over night while he went off on a buisness trip. he left early yesterday and was planning on coming home this afternoon.

You're probably on your flight back to your home town

All day Kagome had been thinking of what she wanted to do with her life. She felt as if she was missing something in her life. She felt as if she were dependent on him. He bought her an apartment after she was kicked out of her mother's house. He paid all of her bills and made sure she had a decent, well paying job.

I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

She felt as though she needed to find what she was looking for on her own. So today she decided she was leaving. All of her friends and family so that she could find what she needed to and feel whole.

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

She took out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote him a letter. Telling all of her thoughts and feelings as best as she knew how. She needed him to know it had nothing to do with him. She felt that by going out on her own and surviving she would achieve her desire. She knew that had she told him he wouldn't have let her go so it was best that he didn't know.

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

She began to cry, feeling guilty because she was leaving behind everyone she truly cared about to a place that was foreign to her. But if she stayed she would only be holding her self back from the wonders of the world.She wouldn't feel freedom at her fingertips as she desperately wanted to.

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too

She remembered how she first met Sesshomaru. They met in the Second grade. He was the new kid that everybody thought was a girl. He was always being picked on until one day she couldn't take it anymore and sucker punched one of the kids right in the nose. From that day on they had been best friends playing silly games during recess and such.

In the 4th grade they had a field trip to the museum on Egyptian culture. Kagome had always been afraid of mummies. So when they got there she bean to cry and Sesshomaru allowed her to cry on his shoulder. He held her hand for the rest of the feild trip and never let it go.

When they were in 7th grade he finally asked her to be his girlfriend on Valentine's Day. All the girls were jealous at how close they were. They had no secrets. They were just so comfortable around each other.

We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside

She reminiced on all the things they shared. Their first kiss, first dates, first psrty as an official couple, and the first time they made love. That one made her blush.She knew that if she stalled he would be home and wouldn't allow her to leave. She walked out to the car and placed her luggage in the trunk. She got in the car and reved up the engine and drove off.

I need to be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

Sesshomaru arrived home about 45 minutes after she left. Seeing that her car was not in the driveway he wondered why she left so soon. He walked in the house to find a note on his living room table.

Dear Sesshomaru,

You are probably wonderng why i left so soon. Well the truth is I have left on a voyage that I feel I must take alone. Please don't come looking for me. I need to do this. This is not goodbye, but simply an i'll see you soon. Promise me you will think of me everyday. I will keep in touch as much as I can. I need to know if I can make it in the world by myself. I need to be free. I hope you understand. I love you with all my heart.

Love, Kagome

He gave a small smile as a tear came out of his eye. He knew it was coming and it had finally happened. He threw his jacket on the couch and went upstairs to go to bed and get ready for the day ahead.
