*Disclaimer: see before chapters for what we all know.
*A/N: Ooh! Sooo many updates these days! Baaaah! Thanks again to all the people who added suggestions^_^; :-hands reviewer's their monopoly money-: Now don't spend it all in one place, savvy? ^^; Sorry, I watched P.O.T.C last night! Johnny Depp is so good in the movie! Annd, in response to one reviewer who felt they had to talk to me about my complaint on waking up at 8:45 am on a saturday, I have this to say: I really don't like waking up early. I prefer to sleep in. So just don't mind me when I whine about it. I've always been impressed by people who can do that. You remind me a lot of my friend Meagan. She likes to hit me upside the head if I don't wake up. Anyway! Now that's been said, on with Chapter 10! Chao Bombino!
Chapter Ten
*KPOV*
I heaved a sigh, sliding her backpack onto my back, my body nearly bending with the weight. However, I held myself steady and climbed onto the edge of the well, peering down into it's depths. Lately, travelling between times had become somewhat second-nature. But today, I didn't want to go. I didn't want to see Inuyasha. Stepping away from the well, I stood, staring at my feet. My conscience had been bugging me. Was I being greedy? Or was Inuyasha truly to blame? The present wasn't what I wanted. I wanted Inuyasha to remember important things about me. I was willing to bet that if he was asked when Kikyou's birthday was he would know in an instant. Maybe I should have just give up on him. I mean, it wasn't like he really cared about me as anything more then a jewel detector. But, I knew I couldn't stay in my era forever. Sooner or later, he would come get me and drag me back. So I had to go. I had no choice. With every ounce of strength and free will I possessed, I stepped up to the well. Swinging my legs over, I pushed off, falling into it's depths and travelling through time.
When I emerged, Shippou was waiting for me. As was Sango and Miroku. Smiling almost to myself, I was half-surprised to see Inuyasha wasn't around. He was probably chasing after Kikyou, or something along those lines. Frowning bitterly to myself, I brushed past my friends, who stopped me before I go far.
"Kagome-chan, what's wrong?" Sango asked, keeping her hand on my shoulder. Shippou jumped up, sitting on my shoulder and nuzzling against my cheek
"Oh, it's nothing. Really. I'm just tired." That lie wouldn't work on Sango. She knew me too well. Whenever I was upset, I would go to her. And I knew Inuyasha went to Miroku for the same reasons. Both were older, wiser.
"Oh come on Kagome-chan! We're not fools. Even Shippou has come to realize when it involves Inuyasha." she smiled at my sudden look of shock, "Ah-ha! We're right!"
"What? I never said that!"
"No, but we could tell by your expression, Kagome-sama." Miroku smirked, "Besides, we already knew."
"How?" I tilted my head, reaching up and taking Shippou from my shoulder, holding him to my body, "Did he say something?"
"Not really. But Kagome, he's going to make it up to you." Sango nudged Miroku in the ribs with her elbow, grinning.
Looking up at me with his large, green eyes, Shippou blinked a few times, before reaching into his pocket and producing a shiny, black rock,
"Here Kagome-chan" he smiled widely, looking rather proud, "I picked it myself!"
"Oh Shippou-chan!" I cooed, taking the rock, "It's beautiful! Thank you!"
He smiled shyly, "Your welcome.."
Once again, Sango elbowed Miroku, stifling a giggle. Miroku nodded his understanding, and mouthed 'lucky bum' before walking off towards the village.
Once we returned, I was showered with more gifts. Sango and Miroku gave me a new bow and arrow set -- something I had been hinting at -- and a jade ring, while Kaede gave me herbs, useful for all kinds of injuries. Not exactly the best birthday present, but her heart was in the right place. Placing the bundle of herbs and other presents into my bag, I sat back, closing my eyes halfway. At least everyone else remembered. Everyone, that is, except him. My nose curled upwards at the memory and I heard Kaede sigh.
"Are ye still angry with him?"
"Yes." I responded shortly, opening one eye to peer at her, "Still quite mad, thank you."
"Aye, I suppose ye have a good reason." she poked at the fire slowly, "Certainly got Inuyasha worried."
I sat upright, "Excuse me?"
"Oh, Nothing, nevermind." she smiled halfway, "I tend to ramble on in my old age."
"No, what did you say about having Inuyasha worried?"
Sango decided to pipe up now, "Kagome, he's desperate to make it up to you. He came to me and Miroku about it. And obviously he's come to Kaede, too."
"He's quite upset." Miroku added, looking at me from across the flames, "I think he even got Myoga to help."
I frowned, "Maybe that's why he got me the rock?" Shippou glanced at me, green eyes slightly widened, and I giggled, "It wasn't a nice rock like yours, Shippou."
Grinning happily, the kit laughed, "I bet it wasn't!"
"Don't worry Shippou, it wasn't." I hoped they were telling the truth about Inuyasha. I didn't want him to be suffering, but I doubted he'd ever forget again. At least, not anytime soon.
*A/N: Ooh! Kagome knows now! =O! Anymahow, short author's note. LoLz! Bye for now=D
