Three A.M. that's what time he usually came home these days. Just avoiding the constant scrutiny. Oddly enough he was greeted by the annoying sound of his video chat request going off. STONER272 is requesting a video chat. It was Naraku, trying to reach out to him once again. Like he had been for weeks now. Koga sighed and sat down at his computer prepared to hit ignore. But then an instant message popped up. KOGA IT'S ME…KAGOME. The message said. Of course that compelled him to accept the request, and seconds later he was greeted by her pretty makeup free face in the center of his computer. "What's up Kagome?" he asked warily. This was strange. Kagome shrugged, and shook her head. She looked a little out of it, like she was upset about something. "I needed someone to talk to. Naraku's sleeping." She said lowly moving the camera slightly to reveal him sprawled out on his own bed. "Okay. Shoot." He nodded, acceptingly. He could never not be there for her when she looked at him that way. She hesitated before opening her mouth to speak. "I'm not a very good person, am I Koga?" she asked the rhetorical question. "Like everything I put you guys through last year. It was all bullshit. I mean who does that?" she spoke up again. He leaned back in his seat. "The past is in the past/" he said simply, although he didn't full believe that. Kagome leaned forward, her unkempt waves bouncing with her. "You don't really believe that, do you?" she challenged his mantra. He stared dubiously. "It'll always be there. In your head. You can't erase what's in your head." She looked off to the side miserably, after her little outburst. "You can forgive things though. Move past shit, you know, get over it." He said sounding too wise to be himself. Kagome closed her eyes for a minute. Then her intense blue orbs relit the screen. "I wish it were that simple." Her voice sounded riddled with defeat. He had no idea how much she'd been beating herself up about breaking his heart. But that wasn't it at all. "I should let you go…" she let her voice trail off as she hovered the mouse over the END CHAT button. "Kagome…You're a good person." He assured her. He honestly believed it. Deep down she was. Deep beneath the layers of armor, and seduction, she really was. Kagome smiled, as a thank you, before his screen went black.
