Third contest drabble! This one honors one of my favorite side characters,
Kagome's little brother Souta. I'm the youngest child in my family and
don't know what it would be like to have a younger brother or sister, but
I'd like him/her to be just like Souta ^_^

***** Respect in Absence
When Kagome turned fifteen, Souta was scared for the first time that he'd never see her again. His grandfather and mother were also wracked with worry, but they were at least partly distracted by trying to console Souta, who spent two days sobbing when there were no more tears left.
Kagome's trips to the past still scared Souta, but he soon learned that it was nothing compared to when she returned covered with blood and sweat that wasn't always hers.
He never snuck into her room while she was away, but made a point to every time she was home.
