The next morning, after everyone had woken up, Kagome started breakfast. Using a pan she had brought from her own time, she quickly made a meal of eggs and toast for everyone. However, in the process, she had knocked over the pan twice, broken a plate, and simply stopped what she was doing several times.
"Kagome...are you okay? You seem a bit off today," Sango said worriedly, while taking a bite out of her toast.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Kagome replied, forcing a smile. Once she had made sure everyone had eaten, she sat next to Shippo, staring off into the distance.
"You know, Kagome, you really should eat to get your energy up, after what happened!" said the little fox. Kagome merely shook her head, as if to say she wasn't hungry.
There was no denying it - something was defintely wrong.
Why can't I bring myself to do anything right today? Kagome thought. I just feel so...lifeless. Like a little part of me is gone. I suppose I should expect that...I mean, I did just give up on Inuyasha...but it shouldn't be this hard!
This only made her feel even more restless, so Kagome decided to retreat back to her favorite spot by the riverbank. Once gone, Sango and Shippo exchanged worried glances.
"She's been acting strange ever since she woke up," Sango observed.
"Yeah...I hope she's okay," Shippo added. The two of them cared a lot for their friend, who had always been so kind.
"Ah, quit your worrying," Inuyasha said, between chews.
"Inuyasha, did you even see what she did this morning? She accidentaly destroyed half of the campsite and even called Shippo 'Kirara'. Something's obviously wrong." Sango said, hotly.
"Whatever," Inuyasha answered bluntly. He pretended not to care, but he knew he was worried about Kagome.
(((at the river)))
Kagome dipped her bare feet in the river once more. She shuddered - half because the water was cold, half because she was reliving the terror of the night before last. Kagome could never forget the terrible feeling she had right before she blacked out. A mixture of desolation, terror, and death.
The wind started to blow a bit stronger, but this time Kagome did not make any effort to shut it out. The cold outside was barely noticeable, compared to the cold she felt in her heart. The decision she made last night was a big one, and the effects would most likely haunt her forever.
However, she instinctivly shivered. After a few seconds, she felt a suddenn warmth around her shoulders. She looked. It was Inuyasha's haori. And next to her was none other then Inuyasha.
"You're a real dumbass, do you know that?" He asked, gruffly. "I just spent the past two days trying to restore your health, and now you go and nearly freeze again."
"I-I'm sorry, Inuyasha," Kagome said softly, clutching the haori tighter.
"Hey - are you okay? They were right, you are acting weird." Inuyasha blinked. "Well, weirder then usual."
Kagome lowered her head. She was so close - again. Her mind was telling her to yell at him. To protect herself from the pain. And, for a moment, she was going to. But then, like always, her heart was telling her something different. However, unlike always, it's call was stronger this time. Kagome couldn't block out her longing like she normally did. Not before long, her mind went totally blank.
Kagome leaned in and kissed Inuyasha.
It was not a classy kiss, by any means - Kagome quickly leaned in and kiss Inuyasha softly on the cheek. But, it was enough to make her heart soar with joy - and her face blush until it was the color of a tomato.
Inuyasha's face, however, was the color of a beet.
He blinked a few times in disbelief. Not moving, hardly breathing. Did that really just happen?
All at once, Kagome's brain took over control again.
NO! NO, DAMMIT! PLEASE, TELL ME I DIDN'T JUST DO WHAT I THINK I DID!
But there was no mistaking it.
Her head down, Kagome quickly ran off into the forest, still clutching Inuyasha's haori tight.

---bounces around the screen--- I'm so happy! And WHY am I happy, you ask? Get ready for the answer, now!
Cause of YOU!
Yes, you! The reader/reviewer! You're the one who makes me able to keep on writing at 3:30am! Yuppers! Just by reading this you are helping me get more and more motivated! ((god dammit I sound like a salesperson O.o)))
So, to show my thanks, I shall make a list of things all about me! I know, I know - it sounds vain. But these are some things I would normally NEVER tell anyone! So get ready!
1) I have this sixth sense that WHENEVER I walk into a room, even if my eyes are closed, I can tell if there's a TV in it - AND if it's on. Maybe this is what hundreds of years of evoulution have led up to.
2) Sometimes, late at night, I wake up and scream "smoke detector!" for no apparent reason. I'm serious. My mom has told me countless times. Naturally, this led us to check all the smoke detectors in the house, but nothing went wrong. So, for the moment, we'll all just assume I'm insane. O.o
3) Speaking of sleeping- here's a particularly weird dream that I had: Okay, so out of nowhere I dream that I'm on a giant sattelite orbiting the earth. Then all of a sudden I shrink and find myself in this little pod with the Rugrats. Yes, the Rugrats. In Tommy's living room. And they're all wearing spacesuits. So I tell them "are you guys aware that you're on a giant sattelite? and that's you're all shrunken?" and then Phil's like "Yeah but it's better this way - we're happy here." So I'm like "WTF?". So I grow again to my normal size and make a run for it, trying to get out of this creepy sattelite. But on the way this evil scientist-dude comes and tries to catch me. In front of me there is a door that says "EXIT" above it. But, being the person that I am, I chose to turn and instead go up this giant escelelator that appeared out of nowhere. Then there was a bright flash of light and I woke up. THE END. O.o
