Chapter 2: Thinking of You
Kagome is on her bed crying her eyes out, when her mom comes in.
"Kagome, what's wrong?"
"I sniff heard Inuyasha sniff talking to Kaede. Sniff He says he loves me…"
"Well, honey, isn't that a good thing?"
"Yes! But he sniff said that he can't choose between me and his ex-girlfriend sniff Kikyou, and he doesn't remember when he told me he loved me, mama! He doesn't remember!" And with that, Kagome broke down in tears.
Kagome's mom cupped Kagome's chin in her hand and lifted her face up to look into her eyes.
"And then, mom, I told him that I loved him, and came here to let him think for a few days."
"Well, I think you did the right thing, but now you just need to have faith in him, like you always do."
"Ok mom, I'll try…"
"That's my girl." Said girl smiled.
"Now, would you like to come with me to the mall to buy Souta's birthday present?"
"Yes, because I need new school shoes. I umm, lost mine."
"Alright then. Grab your sandals and we can go."
"Ok… Mama, Kyo wanted me to tell you hi…"
"Tell her I said hello then."
"Ok… and mama?"
"Hai?"
"Thanks."
About five minutes later, they were off to the nearby mall.
Feudal Era:
"Hey! I wonder how much of the Shikon Jewel we have together now that we've killed Naraku." Says Shippo.
"Well, probably all but three shards." Sango says smiling.
"Why three?" Shippo asks confused.
"Because Kouga has two and there's on in Kohaku's back. I just wonder where he is now…" She trailed off.
Inuyasha's head shot up.
"It's not three jewel shards, it's four. I only just remembered."
"Remembered what, Inuyasha." Miroku asked.
"That Kagome put a jewel shard in my sword, the Tetuseiga, one day after a battle when you were all asleep. She thought that I was too, but I saw her do it."
"It seems to me, Inuyasha that Kagome is finally managing to cope with her powers."
"What do you mean Kaede?"
"I mean, Sango, that, first she can pass through my sister's barrier when no other priestess can, and she was able to take most of her soul back from Kikyou, and she can put up barriers, and now she's putting jewel shards in solid objects."
"I see. Well, Kaede, I think that you should train her with her miko powers."
"I second that Kaede, good suggestion, Miroku."
"What do you think Inuyasha?"
"Do whatever she wants." He says leaving the hut.
"What's eating him?" Shippo asks Sango, and she shrugs.
'Kagome… what are you doing right now?
"KAGOME, IT'S 10 'O' CLOCK ALREADY, GET OUT!"
"Yes Mom!" Kagome sighs as she gets out the bath tub.
She wraps a towel around herself and clips up her hair. Then she goes into her room and dresses herself only thinking of a certain hanyou that we all know and love… then she snaps out of her trancelike state and exclaims,
"Oh the jewel!" she pulls out the bottle containing all the jewel shards and pours them into her hand. Then she holds her hands closed tight and when she opens them, there's only a small sliver of jewel missing. She sighs contently and lies on her bed, falling asleep instantly.
That day, the rest of the Inu gang had traveled to the ex-demon slayer's village. When they got there, Shippo took Kilala to go to sleep, and Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku went in search of Kohaku or intruders.
