Last Time:

"You are not going anywhere with—mmf!" He couldn't finish his sentence due to the fact that Leon punched his face in.

"Hm…" He walked ahead of them and disappeared into the exit passage, with Auron walking calmly after him and the others running to catch up.

Now:

Kagome shot up in bed, gasping for breath. She gently tapped her fingers against her cheek and noticed that they felt stiff from dried tears. She heaved a small sigh before taking a look at her surroundings. She was sitting in a bed in some type of hotel that had a dresser in one corner and a full length mirror in the other, which was right next to a door.

She swung her legs of the side to stand up, getting tangled up slightly in the sheets. She growled before flinging them off of her. She shuffled over to the dresser, cursing the cold feel of the floor. On top of the dresser was a washcloth and her compact lying innocently next to it. On top of her compact was a folded up piece of paper.

Kagome picked it up, flipping it open

Kagome

I woke up a little while ago (probably by the time you read this) and took a shower. It's a clean washcloth, don't worry and there's and extra towel in the bathroom. I hope you're feeling better!

-Kairi

p.s. Riku was worried about you! *wink*

At reading the last part, Kagome felt her face get hot. She quickly shook it off and grabbed her stuff and walked over to the bathroom.

*A little later*

Kagome decided to take a bath instead of a shower; she wanted to have time to relax. She stared at the ceiling trying to recall things that happened in her nightmare. Everything was fuzzy, but there was one thing in particular that stuck out from the rest; a figure clad in red with long silver hair.

Just the thought of him brought tears to her eyes but she forced them back. She slowly got out of the tub, and wrapped a towel around herself securely. The change in temperature caused goosebumps to rise on her arms and legs. She walked quickly towards the dresser and picked up her compact. She pushed a button and Kagome was now wearing clothes.

She had on a white tank top and dark blue baggy sweatpants. Her hair was still wet from her bath but it looked semi-dry now, although still un-combed. After letting out a sigh and hanging up her towel, she walked towards the door. Just as she got there, the door swung open to reveal Kairi and Riku standing there.

"You're awake!" Kairi cried, flinging herself on Kagome. Kagome, although shocked, hugged her back laughing.

"Yeah, but I'm still not back to 100% yet," Kagome shook her head, letting go of Kairi.

"Figures," Riku snorted, causing Kagome to narrow her eyes at him a little. "You were already exhausted when you decided to use them; you must have drained yourself completely." Riku leaned against the frame of the door, staring right back. Kagome relaxed and smiled.

"I guess I shouldn't have done that," Kagome said sheepishly.

"It's a good thing that you did, or we probably would have lost," He shrugged. "But because it, you were out for two days."

"What!?" Kagome cried shocked. "Two days?"

"Yeah, we were getting worried," Kairi said shaking her head in a concerned way. "Anywho, you hungry?" Kagome gave a slight nod. "Good! Let's go!" She grabbed Kagome's arm and started dragging her out of the room. Kagome, who stumbled along, grabbed the front of Riku's shirt as she passed by him, which resulted in him being dragged along with her.
