Chapter 8
Kagome shifted again, trying to find a more comfortable position on her pallet without waking Shippo. She couldn't sleep. Her thoughts kept turning back to the little girl.
From what she had told them, she had to be much older than they were, but she couldn't help but view her as a poor orphan who had lost the only family she ever had.
Kagome shifted again, a worried frown creasing her forehead. Everyone had been very quiet after the revelation. No one had really wanted to talk about the decision they had made, or what it could mean for them.
Someone's not going to come back...
She put her arm around Shippo and drew him closer, seeking what little reassurance she could get. Lose one of her friends? It seemed impossible.
They had been through so much, and now, because of one stupid prediction, one of them was going to die.
Memories of the time she had spent in the Feudal Era flashed through her mind's eye.
Inuyasha curled into a tree to sleep... Sango smacking Miroku for his 'wandering hands'... Sango and her taking a relaxing bath in the hot-spring... Shippo bouncing around with his boundless energy... Miroku opening his wind tunnel to protect them from demon attacks... The Tensiaga (A/N: Anyone know how to spell that right?) transforming... Kikyo coming back... Kaede giving them advice... Shippo getting smacked by Inuyasha... Her laughing... Miroku asking her and Sango to bear his children... The shards of the Shikon (A/N: I'm not even sure I spelled that right...) Jewel...
Kagome woke from her reverie to hear a noise outside. She slowly slid from the pallet, making sure not to disturb the kitsune. She slid open the door and looked around to see what had disturbed her thoughts.
Only slightly surprised, she walked over to join Inuyasha in his spot on the stairs on the inn they had decided to stay at.
"Couldn't sleep?" She asked softly, not sure what mood he was in.
"Are you worried? About tomorrow?" He asked abruptly.
Instead of answering right away, she drew her knees up to her chin and glanced into the night sky.
"I'm afraid I guess... I know we're doing the right thing, but that doesn't mean that what's going to happen will be any less terrible."
He looked away, seeming to consider her answer.
"Kagome..." He began hesitantly. Her stomach fluttered slightly.
"Yes...?" She asked, hoping to convince him to say the thing she had been dying to hear from him since the moment she realized her feelings for him.
'Just... Be careful tomorrow."
"Oh..." She said, her hope deflating like a popped balloon. "I will..."
Feeling defeated she turned and headed back into her room.
OOOOO
Author's Note: Short! Short! Short! I know! Oh well! I don't have the time to make it any longer! I was going to add some fluff, but I decided this just wasn't the time! I mean, they are feeling kind of low at the moment. Maybe later. I did say this was going to be a KagomeXInuyasha. Just be on the lookout, it'll happen eventually.
Thanks to my reviewers: Dark Inu Fan (I hate my muse! I want to strangle her sometimes! But you gotta' admit, she comes in handy... Actually, I came up with the name Zara from a book, supposedly it means 'flower', but I'm not sure.), StarfireRobin, Crimson Enchantress, and wolf enchantress 340 (Cool? That's all I get after slaving away all day at a hot keyboard? Just kidding.)!
...muse is crying sadly on the floor... Oh for god's sakes! Stop that! You've been at it for an hour and it's starting to give me a headache! ...keeps crying... Don't make me knock you out again! ...hiccups and stops crying abruptly, looking up with huge puppy-dog eyes... Stop looking at me like that! Gaaaahhhh!
