Smile Like You Mean it
Chapter 7: The beauty Of Being Numb
Sango sighed, Contently. They finally found a hot springs, and it was close to Koga's Den too! It worked out in so many levels.
Inuyasha, Of course, Was pissed that they had to stop so soon even when they were so close to his 'love enemy'. Sango Giggled at remembering what he said about Koga.
"Sango! Hurry up! Miroku is getting antsy!" Inuyasha screamed from the camp.
" Well, He Can Wait! I'm A Girl! WE TAKE TIME!" Sango spat at the Inu Hanyou.
"Grr, FINE! BE THAT WAY!" Inuyasha said before going silent. Like a good little doggie.
She giggled again before going underwater and letting the warm water engulf her. She liked being submerged. It hid her tears. Every time she went under the warm waters it reminded her of games her and Kagome played while Bathing. So instantly She'd Cry, Hoping the water would mix with her tears hiding the scent and Inuyasha wouldn't find out she was crying.

Kagome was thinking, Trying to make herself depressed, to ruin this date she had to go on with Rin, Shippo and The Arrogant Sesshomaru. She started digging deep into her past, to the past her mother told her to forget, to hide from the world, to never speak it again, what put her always on the edge of killing herself.
She remembered around the time she was constantly Blacking out. It came after Sota was born. She'd blank out and wake up in odd positions (Like on top of her 3 year old brother with a knife to his tiny neck). She had to visit the phycitatris. The phycitatris said to watch her carefully. Only about 3 weeks later, Kagome was tooken to the hospital because she cut her vein and she was found bleeding on the bathroom floor.
The phycitatris said that she would have to go to the Mental Ward She stayed there for a year. Around age 10 She was released, after saying her 'Voice friend' Wasn't talking anymore. But by that Time Dmitri was considered a friend, until he started calling her weak, stupid, and that she had to kill herself because no one cared.
In the 5th grade she snapped and threw her desk at the teacher and supplies at student who called her 'Mental Case # 666'. The phycitatris was to watch her for another half year till she was convinced that Kagome was 'cured'. Her mother told her to never tell anyone, and Sota forgave her.
And now, She was sitting in her chair with her eyes showing no emotion, no concern, no concern that a Taiyoukai was staring at her weird right in front of her.
"Kagome?" Was the word that broken her from her Hellish Nightmare.
"Hm?"
"Ready?"
"Hai…" She said solemnly.
Sesshomaru looked at her, slightly concerned. The Kagome he knew would always be smiling and happy, so painful and serious during a fight, but now She's depressed. He shook his head ever so slightly, Why was he thinking about her?
Now to actually think about it, He's been thinking of her a lot lately.
'What's wrong with me?' He thought and shrugged it off.
Sesshomaru watched as the kids again seated themselves on Ah and Un. And Kagome stood obediently next to him.
Kagome quickly took a glance up to him and gave him a real Smile.

Sango poked the fire silently as Miroku Slept and Inuyasha was doing something to some flowers (Making a crown……). She looked up at the Morning sky, the sun slightly blinding her. She blinked and look back down moving some ashes to the side starting a small fire to the side of the medium one.
" Sango?" Miroku said sitting next to her rubbing his eyes.
" Good Morning Miroku.."
" Same, Your up before me."
" I didn't go to sleep last night…." She said silently.
" You've been doing that for a long time now."
" I've Cried too much…."
Miroku yawned and leaned against her.
" We'll get them, you don't have to worry."
" You tell me that every time."
" Because if I don't remind you you'll hurt yourself." Miroku said remembering the secret Kagome told him.
" If it hides my pain, give me pointers." Sango said bringing her knees up against her chest.
" Your crazy, I'm not going to give you ideas on how to hurt yourself. I'll get breakfast." He said before standing up and walking away.

When They reached the ground next to the festival, Kagome and Rin instantly ran off. Both in the Same direction. For two different reasons. Soon they were at the face painting place, Rin was there for the sunny face paint, Kagome….For the cute Face Painter.
She watched him walk over to them and kneel down next to Rin, getting what she wanted.
' I love his smile…' She thought.
The Boy looked up and walked over to Kagome.
" And what do you want miss?" He said giving her a smile too.
She was about to faint, or that's what she told herself.
" Heh, I'm J-just bring her here…" She mentally slapped herself for stuttering.
" Ok.." He said going to the back to get some supplies.
She let loose on of those girly sighs just as she heard an 'Ahem' From behind her. She turned on her heels to see a very amused Sesshomaru.
"Oh, Heh, Hi!" She said tilting her head to the side.
He raised an eyebrow.
" Do what you want.." He said before walking away.
' Well, if you wanted me to do that in the first place why did he come over?' She questioned him mentally.
About halfway through the Festival She suddenly wanted to get Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha something.
She wandered from booth to booth, finding Sutra's for Miroku (Fake most likely), A Necklace with a Jade crystal at the end ,and Inuyasha, Well it took her a while to find him something, But in the end got him a fan with a picture of a dog demon on it, (To calm his hotheadedness.) she smiled at the gifts then another urge came over her.
She again went from booth to booth searching of things to fit the personality of the person getting the gift. She finally found it. It was a scarf looking thing that was silky and had blue and yellow lines on it.
She smiled and placed it in a bag she brought with her slowly walking over to where Sesshomaru agreed to meet her later.
She saw him standing next to Shippo and Rin who were eating some Ice Cream is what it looked like.
"Heh, Sorry I'm a little late."
He looked at her.
"Your angry."
Staring.
" Eh,"
" Oh, Forgive me." He said somberly.
What did he say? She thought.
"Nani?" She said aloud before thinking.
" I was apologizing."
"Yeah, But that's so Unlike you."
"Maybe you just saw the bad side of me, now lets go."
"Ok."
