==============================================
Kagome leaned back in her chair and sighed. It was going to be a long week.
Kagome just stared up to her ceiling, thinking about how her life was getting weirder by the day. It's not just weird. It's almost freaky... She had given up on restricting herself from calling Sesshomaru "Sesshy." I mean, I am dating him now. She stopped herself again. I haven't even gone on a single date with him.
She was quite tired, after having gotten a good cry out of thinking of Inuyasha and her twisted life. The Summer Dance was on Saturday, and it was Monday now. She was so wrapped up in her emotions that she didn't even hear her cell phone ring again.
"Kagome? Hello?"
"Oh. Sango."
"What's wrong? You sound like someone just abused you."
"Sango, everything's wrong. I've been abused by my own conscience."
"It's not about Inuyasha again, is it?"
"It's so close it's scary. I'm going to the Summer Dance with his brother."
Sango didn't say anything. The only way Kagome knew that she hadn't hung up was that she could still hear her breathing on the other end. Normally, Sango would have been the one to immediately jump to a conclusion about proper action. This one seemed to have her stumped.
"Wow. No wonder you seemed so sad. What do you need help with? Talking to him? Getting a dress? Getting fit for the dance?"
Kagome felt herself smile. The normal Sango was coming back, full of ideas and questions. It was no wonder that Sango also was the Most Inspirational Player on the sports teams.
"Well...all of them. Could you come over to my house tomorrow, at about 11?"
"Sure. Now that school's out, anything's possible. Can I bring Kirara?"
"Whatever. Maybe I'll invite Shippo, just so they can play together for a while."
"See ya then. Bye!"
Kagome leaned back in her chair again. She had new things to think about now. Sango had seemed not to know what to think of her situation, and now Kagome was going back on her original feelings. Is this even right? Should Inuyasha know about this?
Kikyo could have Inuyasha back. Kagome didn't want to have to deal with him any more now. Did I really love him? Was he anything more than an ideal weekend buddy? Kikyo had gotten along with him, controlled him almost. She could mold him to her needs. "I mean, you've already taken Inuyasha from me..." Kikyo had said.
Maybe Kikyo really had loved him. She had held a bit of a grudge every time they had talked intermittently. She had gotten good advice, but how would she go about following it? Keep him wanting what he can't have. What would that be? It could be as simple as a kiss or...she felt herself blush.
No good thinking about that now.
Kagome slowly stood up, stretching as if she could get all of the thoughts in her head forcefully out of it. All of that would have to wait. She had to pick out her outfit for the dance. All she had to wear was her school uniform, some shorts, and a few tank tops. That kind of dress wouldn't cut it for this kind of date.She threw herself down onto her bed. It's been a long day. Without bothering to get under the covers, she fell asleep. One would think that she wouldn't have to think any more about Sesshy...but then there was the dream.
Kagome ran through a field of dandelions, in slow motion. Sesshomaru ran towards her, also in slow motion. But there was Inuyasha, running at her as well. Or was he running towards Kikyo, who was running as well? It was confusing, all of them running. But then Kikyo and Kagome merged, becoming an all-powerful miko. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru stopped running and started fighting with each other. At any moment, one of them was winning. And then...
Kagome woke up. That was VERY weird. Without trying to figure out what it meant, she fell asleep again. That type of thing could wait until the morning.
Please R and R! Thank you so much to the people who reviewed again!
