Time Heals All
Chapter : 6
A week had gone by since Sesshoumaru had showed his feelings towards her and she was happy for it. At first she had been confused and scared about it. But now she was starting to slowly let go of her relationship with Inuyasha.
Sesshoumaru had left back to the city telling her that he would give her some time to herself. Of course she had insisted on him staying but in the end she had settled for him to leave Rin for two weeks. She looked up to the bright sky and sigh as she, Sango, Rin, and Kanna walked towards the icecream shop.
She loved the week she spent with her friends and the little hyper girl who was Rin. They walked into the shop and stood there for five minutes deciding on what flavor of ice cream to have. Sango and Rin settled for rainbow flavored, Kanna got cherry cheesecake, while Kagome got herself bubblegum.
"So when is Sesshoumaru coming to pick up Rin?" asked Sango as she licked her ice cream.
"Next week," replied Kagome as she smiled at the little girl.
Kanna looked over at Kagome and had noticed the look in her eyes everytime they had talked about Seshoumaru. She smiled and grinned at Kagome who looked at her with a confused look on her features.
"What?" asked the puzzled Kagome.
"You like him don't you?"
"Is it true?" gasped Sango who looked over to her best friend.
"Rin thinks Kagome will make a good mommy!" smiled the little girl looking up at Kagome.
"Yes," sighed Kagome. "I do like him."
The three girls just grinned at the blushing Kagome and she sank lower into her seat, hoping to get away from the looks and grins they were giving her.
"But I still love Inuyasha."
"Kagome! He doesn't love you! I mean if he did he wouldn't be with Kikyo!" said Sango in a harsh voice.
"I never met the guy... But Sango is right. If he truly did love you he wouldn't be out with this Kikyo woman," said Kanna as she finished her ice cream.
Kagome knew that they were right. She just didn't feel she could do this to Inuyasha. He was her first boyfriend and she thought they would always be together. But then what was the feeling she got when ever she was around Sesshoumaru? She had never felt that way before, not even around Inuyasha.
She would call him today and tell him that is was over. She would not go through with this any longer. But she wouldn't just jump into Sesshoumaru's arms as soon as she ended it with Inuyasha. She would give it some time, perhaps just spend an odd day or two him.
Yeah that's what she would do! She promised herself she would forget about Inuyasha while she was here. But now she was going to step out of Inuyasha's life completely. And perhaps take a small step in Sesshoumaru's direction. Of course she would just become his friend for the time being... wait she was his friend! Well then she would spend more time with him... other than the time she had spent with him through the years when she would call him just for a shoulder to cry on.
"Kagome?... Kagome!"
Kagome was brought out of her train of thought by her best friend yelling at her. She then realized that she had been calling her for quite a while now. She apologized to her frineds and the three headed back home to help her mother prepare for supper.
That night after supper the three girls decided to sleep in Kagome's room instead of sleeping in a room of their own. Tonight they were treating it as a sleep over to talk about their boyfriends... In Kagome's case get her to talk about Sesshoumaru and what she thought about him. Even though they knew what she thought about him.
As the night wore on Kagome was the only one up. Like on the night Sesshoumaru had kissed her for the first time she got up and headed out side to the hill and sat down to stare up at the stars. Oh how she loved the stars and looking up at the on a clear night like this. She only wished Sesshoumaru was there with her again. This time if he were to kiss her she wouldn't hide from him the next day.
Wait! did she just think that? How stupid could she get! She had made a plan to just spend some time with him before she walked into his arms. But it's not what her hear wanted her to do, it said different. She sighed and headed back into the house to get some rest before tomorrow. She loved hanging out with the three people who slept soundly in her room.
Rin... How that girl could fool anyone, she was such a small girl and young at that. But she was so mature for her age... when she wanted to be. At that thought Kagome smiled.
Reaching her room and avioding all the bodies on the floor she laid down on her bed and was soon fast asleep like the three who were on the floor lightly snoring.
