It doesn't rain for a month.
Naraku doesn't cause trouble for a month.
Kagome doesn't see him for a month.
She hates it.
A relentless tension traps her shoulders in stubborn, headache-inducing knots while she hopes and prays for rain. Her friends don't know the details of what is developing between her and the daiyoukai, but they know enough. And, if they didn't, her perpetual bad mood over the month she doesn't see him is enough to tell them it's not insignificant.
Even Shippou has a hard time cheering her up.
A storm threatens; it goes around them.
She breaks.
