A Single Red Rose
"Kagome?" Shippou looked up with round teary eye's. "Your not gonna leave us are you?" he asked in a small, worried voice. The death grip he had on her shirt, if possible, tightened as Sango looked at her with worry showing on her face.
Kagome thought about this for a moment as she wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, looked at Sango, and then at Shippou and shook her head. "No, I don't think so. I just need some time to think." When she shook her head Shippou was immediately satisfied and he buried his face back into the crook of her neck.
Sango looked at the sky. It was just barely beginning to lighten up in the direction where the sun rose to begin every morning. It was hard to believe that she and Shippou had been searching all night to find Kagome. She hadn't realized how exhausted she was until now. She noticed as she looked back at Kagome that Shippou was already asleep, still clinging to Kagome as if she his life support, with tear streaked cheeks.
After she had reassured Shippou, Sango and herself that she was staying, Kagome was once again deep in thought.

"I was going to-" she looked around quickly without moving her head and thought of a reasonable excuse to get away from him, "go take a bath!"
She picked the contents that she needed from her pack, and stood.
"What is it with you and bathing?"
"I like to be clean," she said, as she brushed past him, and walked out the door.
She quickly walked into the forest, not caring about the branches that harrassed her or the thorns, on some of the bushes, clawing at her legs.
Instead of going to her and Sango's usual bathing area she decided to go sit by the well and try to establish if what she saw earlier was real, or in her mind.
A wave of butterflies washed over her body and tears glistened in tiny slowly growing beads around her eye lashes's as the memory slapped her brain and forced her to watch the scene replay itself again.
It shattered her heart.
"I knew he loved her! You stupid!!! STUPID!!" Kagome gasped for breath. She didn't mean to scream but she couldn't stop it from coming. In a way it made her feel better. But she was worried that someone might have heard her.
A tear rolled down her cheek paused on her rosey colored lips and continued it's journey down her chin.
She looked up and saw that the Goshimboku was in her sight.
'Just a little longer and I can go home and not worry about this anymore' She turned all thought's from her mind as she walked on clutching the item's for her bath in her arm's.
When she saw the well she started thinking about her Obee-san her mother and Souta. She started thinking about the last time she had seen her mother, they were having a conversation about signing herself up for archery lessons....
Her eye's widened and she stopped. Her breathing became irregular as she remembered something VERY important. "My bow... where did I leave my bow??!!"
She began to frantically sort through her the morning's event's totally forgetting about her towels, bathing suit and other item's in her hand's as they fell to the ground.
She quickly ran back to the Goshimboku tree as she tried to remember where she had seen them. When she got near the old tree she started to pick up a life form nearby.(or should I say life-less [hint hint])
She turned in the direction where the source was located and there standing just inside the tree's glaring at her was Kikyou.
"Hello...Kagome." the undead miko said as she walked out of the shadow's clutching an arrow in one hand and... Kagome's bow in the other.
"Isn't this a surprise." she said still smiling.
I know it's a little short AND it's a cliffie but I had to do it if I was going to get this out tonight. Please forgive me for not updating in such a long time!! T.T I didn't meen for it to happen I SWEAR!!!!!
