Chap 3
...
"Are you scared?"
Kagome peered up at her mother. "Hm...a little...but, I think I'll be okay."
Her mother's smile slightly soothed the anxious feelings bubbling in Kagome. "It's ok to be a little scared. It's your first day of kindergarten. But you'll see a lot of your friends from the playground though."
They entered the white gates as many other parents and children did. Kagome knew some of the the children but most were strangers. Her mother came to a halt and bent down to tighten the red ribbons on the end of Kagome's two braids. Her father said it reminded him of two pieces of black licorice.
"Do you want me to come in with you?"
Kagome shook her small head.
"Always being my brave little girl." She leaned in and whispered, "Would it be too embarrassing if I gave you a kiss on the cheek?"
Kagome giggled. "Of course not mommy!"
Her mother grabbed her face and gave her a big kiss with sound effects. "Maw!"
Kagome hugged her mom. "Love you!"
"Love you too sweety. I'll wait here until I see you go in."
Kagome nodded and looked at the direction of the school house. She gripped the straps of her pink and white backpack and walked forward, every once in awhile peering behind her to see if her mother was still there. With each step she fought the urge to turn around and dash back into her mother's warm embrace. As she got closer though, she saw someone very familiar.
"Sesshoumaru!" she called out and waved at the boy.
He turned his head in her direction.
"I'm glad I found you already." She offered a smile and started walking forward before noticing he hadn't moved a step. He held his blue backpack straps so tight his hands were turning white.
Kagome back tracked to stand by his side. "Are you scared?"
His eyes narrowed at her. "Of course not. That would be foolish."
Kagome giggled earning her a glare. She stopped immediately. "It's ok if you are. I am too. But if we stick together we'll be...unscared!"
He raised an eyebrow. "That's not a word."
She waved the fact away with her hand before grabbing ahold of his small hand and tugging him forward. "Come on. Friends stay together, so I'll be here for you."
"Tch. Your effort is unnecessary." Even with the tense words his grip tightened on her soft hand.
"You say a lot of big words," Kagome snickered as they entered the school.
Forgetting about wanting her mother and being nervous about her first day.

AN: This would make a very cute artwork piece/comic scene if any of you talented artists wanted to draw it out :3 I'd love love love to see XD
I sketch but only animals and I do realism. Not good with people or cartoon style at all.
Unless stick people count. I can draw some kick butt stick people :)
Anyways! Reviews are loved :D Hope you're enjoying the story!
