Hey guys! This is a short chapter. I'm sorry. I wish I could update with a really good chapter but I can't. I'll
let you guys in on whats going on. I've been selected to go this government conference and, in order
to go, I have to complete a whole bunch of work and its really long and hard and I have to do it all
in less than two weeks while I still have to attend all my regular classes and deal with the current
family problems that have recently arose. I hope I can update soon and, perhaps update mind
over matter, but I don't know. Thanks for the support and your patience. Reviews would make
me very happy!
Kagome woke up the next morning with groggy eyes.
She got up, ate a small breakfast and was finished packing just as InuYasha returned from...well...from whatever
he had been doing the night before. Kagome never knew what he did on the nights he left but she knew it
was none of her business.
InuYasha walked up to Kagome and gave her his normal, unemotional and slightly cold look.
Kagome took a deep breath.
"InuYasha...I think...I think we should take a break for awhile." Kagome announced.
"What?" InuYasha asked.
"Well...I know that my miko powers aren't the storngest compared to...other people we have encountered. I also know
that there is a small miko training camps, of sorts, in a village to the west. I was thinking that I would go and train for a bit
and come back when I think I'm strong enough." Kagome told him, feeling her heart breaking knowing what was coming
next.
"Kagome..." InuYasha started. "I think that's a good idea. You should go...and train...train for a while...a long while."
InuYasha told her.
Kagome felt her heart shatter in her chest and watched as InuYasha turned and walked away.
She couldn't believe it.
No fight. No Argument. No...nothing. Just a bitter goodbye.
Kagome knew crying would do her no good so she turned west and started off on her journey.
The village she needed to get too was at least a four day journey away, and that was without any troublesome demons, good
weather and a clear path.
Like that ever happened.
Kagome walked along the path to her destination and looked around. She remembered how she used to love walked and looking
at the scenery and now, it just brought her memories of time's she wished were still there.
She would always remember the times when InuYasha seemed to be interested in her and her heart wasn't in the turmoil it was now.
She sighed knowing it would only get harder before it got easier. Not only was she not used to be on her own, really on her own, but
she didn't know weither she ever wanted to go back to InuYasha once she had completed her training.
If she did train and master her powers she could just get the jewel shards herself, right? And if she could do it herself why burden InuYasha
with having to face her everyday? Having to look at a women who resembled his dead love so perfectly only to realise the person who
looks like your dead love had a part in sending her to hell?
No, she wouldn't return. She would train, find the jewel shards on her own and then...well then she didn't know.
Kagome walked all day, from when she had woken up to when the day was giving way to dusk without stopping.
She set up camp beside a hot spring and took out some ramen. She made herself diner before putting up a sheild and slipping into the hot springs.
She set with her knees pulled up, wrapping her arms around them and having her head placed on her knee's.
How did she end up so bitter? So loveless? So...helpless.

The song came to Kagome's head as she washed her hair and body and slipped into her sleeping bag for a good nights sleep with dreams filled with a future she would never have.
