-1AN: Wow I actually was able to get this up. Woot! Anyway I hope to get some nice reviews and I feel the need to warn you now that I am in college and have limited time to update. I will update! It just might take awhile. I should also mention that I do not own Inuyasha. Although… hmm… Better to stop that train of thought.
On with the story!
How long she had been running she honestly didn't know anymore, but it felt like forever. Where was Inuyasha when you needed him? Why was her life becoming more and more complicated with each passing year? Questions kept pounding through her head and just when she thought she had them all answered, another round of questions would pop right in. She wasn't sure when she had stopped crying or when she had sat down in front of Goshinboku but she was sure of one thing, she still couldn't find the one person that she needed comfort from.
Staring up into the darkening sky, Kagome couldn't help but begin to ask herself the same questions that had started early that morning. Why me? Why the lies, why was everything a lie? Why was her life leading this way? Why? Why?
"WHY!?" she screamed with all her might.
"That's not going to get you anywhere." Kagome nearly jumped out of her skin, at the voice coming from beside her. She hadn't realized that she had sat down next to a just as confused Sango. The two women shared a look that they were tired. Neither Sango nor Kagome looked like themselves; they both had tear stains running down their cheeks, and their eyes swollen.
"You can scream at the heavens all night, but the only person that can answer your question isn't someone you trust right now are they?" Sango said as she put her arm around Kagome. Kagome only nodded her answer, she was too afraid to speak. She had never been this mad at her. That's when it hit her, she wasn't the only one to be suffering, it wasn't just her life that had been brought down around her. Kagome turned to look at Sango finding that she had fallen asleep and was now using Kagome as a pillow, the question that Kagome had so wanted to ask Sango was dropped. She could always ask it tomorrow, it wasn't like they would be interrupted by the boys. Both Inuyasha and Miroku thinking that the girls could use some time to rest had gone off to the south after a jewel shard rumour, that hadn't sounded to creditable. Poor Shippou, Kagome suddenly thought, he had put up such a fight to stay with the two girls. Why Inuyasha had suddenly at the last moment before leaving had decided to take Shippou with him and Miroku was beyond Kagome's capable thinking at the time. But it was better than thinking about all the other things going through her skull.
A short time later, Kirara would come across the two women sound asleep at the base of Goshinboku. She silently padded in behind the two girls, transforming to her larger size and curling around them to keep them warm for the night.
Sorry for the lack of what is going on, but well… I might answer one of the questions in the next chapter.
