No matter how much she tried, the uneasy feeling in her stomach didn't disappear.
Her heart was hammering loudly in her chest; an uneven rhythm that she was positive was freaking out Shippo, who was trying to sleep.
"Kagome? Are you okay?"
He looked up at her with tired eyes, and she realized that it must have been fairly late for Shippo to be awake. "I'm fine, don't worry." Kagome ran a hand through Shippo's long hair and the kitsune sighed.
"Don't worry, Kagome, we'll just vanquish the demon and everything will be okay."
She just hummed and continued petting him, and Shippo easily drifted off as she forced herself to take deep breaths.
"Bah, I don't know why you're nervous." Inuyasha muttered.
"Huh?" Kagome continued rubbing Shippo's ears.
The Inu scowled. "It'll be an easy one. We're already all prepared and there's nothing special about it. We grab the shard and go. Easy."
Kagome nodded. "If you say so, Inuyasha."
"Hm." The campfire cackled around them.
For the Sinnoh League Challenge- write about someone preparing something.
I don't own Inuyasha.
