Kagome lay in her sleeping bag in Kaede's hut, thinking of the past few days. She still didn't quite know what to do about InuYasha. He had calmed her down, but that fire of jealousy and hurt was still there. She just couldn't let the fire simmer down. She wasn't perfect, no matter what Sango and the rest thought. She just couldn't keep acting like nothing was the matter. In fact, these days, she was so somber and quiet that Miroku hadn't even tried to grope her. He, instead, focused his attentions to cheering her up. He clowned around with Shippou, while, Sango created wonderful dishes, and then there was InuYasha. He sat in the trees and mulled over everything. Thinking about him only made her heart squeeze and her stomach drop.
She had no clue where she stood with him anymore, and quite frankly, was beginning to not care. She had trusted him. **KEYWORD: had** She still trusted him to protect her physical body. Without that, he couldn't find the Shikon shards. But with her heart and soul...now that was a different story. She was pushing everyone away, nowadays, all except for: Kaede-baba, Miroku, Sango, and Shippou. In fact, not even a week ago, she had adopted Shippou as her legitimate son, and was still filled with the glow of signing the parchment and scrolls. Shippou was ecstatic, and had opened that last chamber of secrets in his heart and had cofided everything to her. Nothing would rip Shippou from her.
Kagome turned her head to the window and watched the sun rise into the pale blue sky. Getting up, she grabbed her shampoo and clothes and trudged toward the hot springs. She noted Sango stirring, and knew the young woman would be down in a few minutes. Reaching the hot springs, she stiffly undressed and dived into the deep pool. While the water was deep and it was steamy above water, underneath the surface, Kagome could see through the water as clearly as through a windowpane. She dived under several more times and when she heard a splash she floated to the top and swam to the edge next to Sango.
They sat and soaked for awhile in silence until Sango stirred and turned to Kagome," You don't really like staying in the Feudal Era anymore, do you, Kagome?"
Kagome started and began to tear," It just isn't the same, Sango. He can't and won't tell me the whole truth of what went on, and the light- heartedness that used to linger has vanished. I wouldn't even be here right now, if not for you, Miroku, and Shippou, my hitorimusuko!" she looked down as the tears filled her eyes and then she shook her head excitedly," Do you..do you think that we could go off on our own for a few months and tell InuYasha to go hunt Kikyou down?? I mean, it wouldn't hurt anyone and...," she trailed off, but still held the light of hope in her heart.
Sango grinned, "You know, Kagome?? That isn't such a bad idea. In fact, we could go on one of those summer holiday things you say people do in the future all the time!! What are they called??"
Kagome smiled. An actual Kagome "trademarked" smile, and said," A vacation, Sango. A vacation."
{{ JadeAngel: So whaddaya guys think?? This chapter's not as long as I wanted it to be, but it's pretty long and it stops where it needs to...so remember!! R/R and the next chapter will be longer. And make sure to vote!! Ja!!}}
