Hanashi no Tegami

Kagome woke up one morning several days later and almost screamed; all around her were ghostly demon figures. Staring right at her and whispering 'Give it to us, give it to us!'. Curling up into a ball, she rocked back and forth, while crying. As if in a dream, Inu-chan appeared right next to her, whispering.

"Don't worry, Kagome. I'm here and they can't hurt you." Strangely enough, Kagome stopped crying. He smiled, hugged her, and was gone. Kagome knew that Inu had never been there physically, but she felt that his soul had been there for her, keeping her safe. Right then she realized that her friend wouldn't want her to cry over him. Inu-chan would want her to be strong and live life as she normally would.

"Alright, Inu-chan. I'll be strong for you and carry on," Kagome whispered to herself. "But I won't ever forget you, so you better come back to me someday." She swung her legs out of bed and got up, walking over to her window. Kagome stood there for a while, looking out at the old Go-Shinboku and the sunrise. Tears still sparkled on her cheeks, but she smiled. It was a very small, very sad smile; but a smile none the less.


--A/N--

Ah, gomen ne for the short chapter!!

the title means "story of letters" or "tale of letters" or for rhyme-lovers, "tale of mail." Also, you may be confused on how the letters work, well I'm working on that so let's just say for now that it's the Shikon no Tama's great magical powers. With Kag-chan finding out about the jewel when she's 15, I do have a reason why she doesn't know, if this were the actual past. But I'm not telling yet. Kagome does not know her friend Inuyasha's full name. Later some other characters will appear, namely Hojo and Fluffy. I've wasted enough time, please review! *waves goodbye*
