Starting Out Fresh

Chapter 3: Starting a New Life

A/N: I just wanted to say that I'm lifting the review per chapter thing. I didn't think so many people would like in just one day! Thank you guys sooooooooooo much. I'll try not to be so demanding next time! Thanks! Now to the story.

Kagome's POV

I stared in awe at my new room. The walls were covered in a delicate cream color; the floor was made out of white marble tiles. There were three pieces of furniture, a large king sized bed, a drawer and a large chair ANYONE could fit into. I opened the closet and found tendifferent colored kimonos everywhere. At least he didn't give you plain kimonos… I thought, trying to see a positive side to all this. Still relieved that I wouldn't need to worry about Inuyasha for at least a while, butI was also worried aboutShippo andSango.She missed Shippo already, even though she saw him the day before. "I hoped he didn't think I left because of him and that I didn't care about him. I wish he was here. And I wish I could talk to Sango. She's like the sister I've never had. We talk about everything. But there'sno one here that I can talk to. I miss them soooo muchhhh…………." Kagome started to cry. "Well, at least Sango will take care of Shippo. Inuyasha would've left him, that self conceited pig." She smiled through her tears as she soon found that she couldn't stop crying.

Sesshomaru's POV

Everything seemed to have been going smoothly. Kagome had met Rin, and Rin seemed very happy she was here, but was upset that Kagome couldn't play with her all the time. I really need to find a playmate for her…… I thought. But I wonder why that miko hasn't gotten out of her room. She hasn't been out for a while now. I thought to myself. I started to walk up to her room when I heard her crying. And she was crying VERY hard too. "Can I come in, Kagome?" there was silence for a while.

"Come in." he heard through her sobs. I opened the door and found her on the floor. She looked up at me in shame and her eyes were more red than they were the day before. Her face was pale, and it was almost transparent. I had never known that a human could cry so much when they are sad. "What did you want?" she mumbled, starting to finally calm down.

"Since you now calmeddown, my reason for coming was thatI came to check on you because you hadn't come out of your room for a while, but now I know that you were crying the whole time." Thank goodness Rin isn't here or else she would be blaming me for getting the miko upset.

"Why do you actually care!" She snapped.

"Do not answer me that way. You live here now, and you will not disrespect your master. And remember I can hear you when you mumble too." I said to her. She sighed. After she stopped crying, she told me everything from Shippo felling abandoned and Sango having to live with two immature guys, and how she wasn't sure about Inuyasha and how she felt. Omg, did I tell him all that! I'm soooo retarded. I can't believe this! Baka! Baka! Baka! Kagome thoughtKagome started to cry again. Oh, wonderful, she's crying agan and I have no idea why.Without thinking at all, I hugged her and rocked her back and forth to comfort her like I do with Rin the many times she got upset about something. "Thank you for listening to me." She whispered. "Inuyasha would've just let me cry by myself. All he cares about is that dead wench Kikyo." I kept on rocking her back and forth and soon noticed that she fell asleep in my arms. I put her on her bed and stared at her for a few minutes. I noticed how angelic she looked. No, stop that! She's just a miko! I thought to myself while I began to leave the room. But for some strange reason, I just couldn't stop thinking about her for the rest of the day.

That's Chapter 3! I was going to update yesterday, but I got tired. I went to a party until about twelve. Sorry! Hoped you liked it! REVIEW, or I'll hunt you down and you'll never exist on this earth again! Okay, bye!
