Hot spring talk
Kagome and Sango were sitting in the hot spring in an uncomfortable silence since they didn't know where to start. Kagome finally broke the silence and asked "so has Miro taught Ai anything perverted yet?"Sango started to laugh and thought 'Kagome-chan always did know how to lighten the mood.' She smiled at her best friend and sister and said "nope!he's tried but I won't let him get away with it!"Now it was Kagome's turn to laugh.
Sango then asked "Kagome-chan...why did you leave us...?I missed you."Kagome smiled sadly and looked down while saying "I'm sorry Sango.I missed you too.I just couldn't handle it anymore.I finally broke and I couldn't stand to be around Inuyasha anymore but I didn't want you guys to abandon him leaving him all alone again like I knew you would to seperate us so I left alone."Sango simply nodded her head in understanding and said "you really love him don't you?"
Kagome smiled up at her friend and said "ya. I really do. I never stopped after all this time apart. I'm scared though."Sango looked confused and asked Kagome "what do you mean scared?What are you scared of?" Kagome sighed and said "I'm scared to tell him how I feel. To fully trust him with my heart."Sango smiled and whispered "are you scared he'll leave you the next time Kikyo comes around."Kagome nodded her head without looking up. Sango said "well you don't have to worry about that."
Kagome gasped and her head shot up and she asked "why?What do you mean?"Sango smiled and said "I was spying when he was carrying you back and I saw a soul collector come after him and he told it to tell Kikyo that he wasn't coming to her ever again."Kagome grinned and said "ok then I'll tell him how I feel soon. First I have to work up the courage I mean I HAVE been gone for two years.Again I'm sorry about that."Sango smiled and said "it's ok Kagome-chan I forgive you for leaving us but remember you have to tell him soon. You know how impatient he is even if his patience stretches to unbelievable lengths for you. He's ALREADY waited two years I don't know how much longer it will last but how he acted when he came back I'd say he could hold out for another year at the most."
Kagome smiled at the young mother in front of her and whispered "Sango...what's it like to be a mother...?"After asking this Kagome blushed a VERY deep shade of red. Sango looked at her little sister and smiled affectionately before responding in a soft voice "it's wonderful. From the moment they come into this world you love them and are so protective. I don't even trust Miroku alone with Ai without Inuyasha or Kirara with them. I trust Shippo but he's just so small."
Kagome looked up and smiled before asking "do you trust me alone with Ai?"Sango hugged Kagome and said "OF COURSE I DO!"Kagome suddenly started to cry so Sango pulled away and asked "what's wrong Kagome-chan...?"Kaogme buried her face in her hands and said "how can you trust me with Ai?"She suddenly had to stop as another wave of sobs overtook her before she continued "w-wh-whe-when I killed Kohaku to complete the jewel?!How can any of you trust me after doing that!?I hate myself for it!"Kagome hunched over and continued to sob and Sango brought her into an embrace and let her cry into her shoulder.
When Kagome had calmed down she was almost asleep in Sango's arms just before drifting into a deep sleep she heard Sango say "it's ok Kagome-chan. I forgive you. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later Kohaku was no longer of this world. I can see you didn't want to do it but knew you had to in order to finish the jewel. Just relax and sleep now."Sango sat there rocking Kagome back and forth until she was sure the young raven haired girl was asleep.
She looked down at Kagome and whispered "you've had such a rough life. You've had to go through things that are far past your years. No seventeen year old should have had to see the things you have or done the things you have. Most of them would have killed themselves by now but you still manage to be happy,sweet,and pure. Even more than that you've endured three years of this. Two of those years were even spent alone. You are truely amazing. I envy your endurance."
Sango then set Kagome against a rock in the spring while she got dressed then pulled Kagome out gently and dressed her as well. This whole time Kaogme remained asleep. Sango could'nt even imagine how hard the past two years must have been for her. She coud also tell this was the first time since she left that she was able to sleep peacefully and with much ease.
She then picked up the miko and carried her all the way back to the camp where Inuyasha instantly jumped up and asked "what happened?"Sango spent the next hour explaining what happened to everyone before everyone went to sleep. Miroku was sitting against a tree with Sango laying in his lap holding Ai. Shippo was sleeping against Kirara and Inuyasha was up in a tree holding a sleeping Kagome in his lap.
He just watched her sleep for a couple hours before falling asleep with his head on top of hers. Kagome spent the night dreaming about the future she would now have with her friends and love while everyone else was dreaming of their futures with Kagome back. The all awoke the next morning energized and Kagome hadn't been in school for two years but she wasn't stupid, she figured out immediately what had happened since she fell asleep in the springs.
