i do not own InuYasha, Rumiko Takahashi does! :)

Kagome walked back to the hut and hugged her mother.

" Don't worry mom, I know you know what's best for me. It was just a lot to take in at once, that's all."

Korari gave her a kiss on the forehead and told her daughter that she would be leaving tomorrow morning with her friend's daughter. Kagome knew there was no way of getting out of it and just wanted to make her mom happy and if this was what it took then she'd do it.

Kagome gracefully walked outside to greet her brother who was in the fields drawing.

" hey sis, what were you and mom talking about?"

" Souta, you know I love you more than anything in the world, right?"

"yeah, you said we would always have each other."

" right, well I'm going to be away for a while and I'm going to need you to take good care of mom and write me lots and lots of letters. I will miss you so much (sobbing now) and I want lots of drawings sent to me too."

Souta felt so broken up, they have been inseparable since he was born, and now she's leaving.

" Why do you have to go? I want you to stay here. I want you to be with me and mom!"

" Souta, it's not that simple, mom knows that I can't find love living here, so she's sending me to a friend of hers at a different village, where no one knows our past. She said I would understand someday and I believe her. Souta, promise me that you won't think ill of our mother. You must be there for her. She loves us unconditionally and that's how I know she trying to do the best she can, ok?"

" ok, but I want to come visit you every day."

" I don't know if that will be possible, how about every five days."

" ok, it's settled. Every five days I will come visit you.'

"I love you Souta"

" I love you sis"

They walked back to the hut and had lunch. They talked and laughed all day long, reminiscing and having fun. They knew it would be the last time for a long while before it will be like this again. They all kissed each other good-night and fell into deep slumber.
