Part 26. Sugar? Yes, please.

Kagome was beyond miserable. She had slept maybe 2 hours tops each night, and she still had a couple of weeks to go. Once graduation and summer came around, she swore to spend a whole month in bed catching up to her favorite shows, and helping Sango prepare for her wedding.

There was also Inuyasha. She'd promised to reach out, but she'd barely had time to think about what she wanted. She loved him, that was clear by now, but she was also scared. What if it didn't work out? What if they wanted different things?

But that night, when she arrived at her apartment building, a mysterious package was waiting for her at the reception desk. When she opened it, warmth settled in her chest as she noticed inside a smaller box with her favorite chocolates, a bottle of wine, and a small plush puppy dog.

"I know how hardworking you are, but you need to take care of yourself. Hope this helps… I miss you, Kagome. IY"
