Chapter 2: Daybreak
As Kagome opened her eyes she, only for an instant felt happy. She remembered their triumph over their enemy and was flooded with happy warm thoughts but as I said it was only for an instant, for as soon as they had come they fled her, leaving the horrid pain of her reality. She would never see her friends again after today…
"I'll miss you all a lot…" she whispered under her breath only to be cut off by sobs.
This caused InuYasha to become fully conscious (before he had been half asleep as to protect his precious jewel, but he had not the energy to resist sleep)
"What's your problem?" he asked the weeping priestess who was leaning on his shoulder, her soft sobs piercing the forest around them, and irritating his ears.
"I'm alright…" she answers, trying not to look him in the eye while also trying to stop the sobs.
"Then quit your crying!"
"Hmmm…"
InuYasha looks at her and raps his arm around her. This has exactly the affect he was hoping for, Kagomes crying stops. She rolls around to come face to face with him and allows herself to smile.
"HEH, ridiculous..." Came a voice from the other side of the camp.
InuYasha reacts; "Oh shut-up Sesshumaru!"
Kagome looks over to see the older dog demon smirking.
Sesshumaru seems to ignore the comment until a few minutes later; "I'm glad we're leaving in a while." He says bluntly.
The sun rises, and with it comes Kagomes worst fear.
Chapter End.
