I don't own Inu Yasha.
A Gentleman's Parting
The air became chiller as the sun retired. Kagome sat speechless in Kaede's hut. Her friends stared at her from all directions, but she could not see them. For two days she had sat with pursed lips. Her eyes often quivered and grew waterlogged, and she neither ate nor drank. She did not speak and the way she looked forward, everyone knew that she something terrible had happened.
Flashback
"Kagome, we are really worried about you. Why haven't you come in? Dinner's ready."
Sango's pitiful eyes looked upon Kagome who sat in the same spot as the two boys had found her. A distant look and silence was the only reply that the sisterly friend received.
"Kagome, I know that you are going through a lot right now, but I'm sure that the whole ordeal will pass."
Her encouraging smile had no affect on Kagome, and so she called for Kirara. When they got to the campfire, Kagome sat bent over the flames. The heat did not even make her flinch.
Un-flashback
"Kagome, please say something. What's wrong?"
Inu Yasha looked into her miserable face, but she just turned away. He took the hint and went outside. Hojo, after seeing that Inu Yasha had left, came in and sat next to Kagome. He didn't say anything for a while, but when he couldn't take it any longer he didn't even ask her for a response.
"I want to go home. I like it here, but I much prefer our world. And I also think that you need to get on with finding the Shikon Shards. I'm too much of a burden to everyone."
For the first time in days Kagome smiled. She stood up and brushed out her hair while Hojo got his things. When he returned he couldn't believe the change in her. She looked even more radiant, and he was glad that she was doing better.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
The shrine was as dusty as ever. Kagome reached over and helped Hojo climb over the edge of the magical well. As they sat on the ancient stonewall Kagome was aware that she had to say goodbye. She hesitated, because she couldn't find the right words, but instead he spoke for her.
"Thank you, Kagome. I swear that I won't tell anyone about this, but it was a lot of fun. Your friends are really nice, and I now understand why you go there instead of school. I know that you have to go back now, but I hope that you will come home soon. Come visit me when you do."
He leaned over and hugged her, and surprisingly enough she hugged him back. As she did this, he smelled the flowery aroma of her hair.
"Goodbye, Hojo. Thanks for being such a good sport about everything. I guess I'll see you around."
"I love you."
Kagome, with a confused look on her face let go of him and sat up in surprise. Hojo grabbed her hand, and Kagome watched with her mouth gaping as he kissed her hand gently. She blushed tremendously, but before she knew it, he had gone and she was back in the feudal era with Inu Yasha keeping an eye on her as she slept.
Forgive me if it was a bit short, but I didn't know how to make it longer. I'm also sorry for not having these stories up quick, but it's hard for me to go on the internet, so I will just try to do a few chapters every once in a while. –Fuki-
