Glon Morski: Nah, she's about 11.
"Eh?" His forehead creased. "Whaddya mean she ain't home?"
"The lady and Miss Higurashi are out," she replied with her hand on the door. "I'm afraid they won't be back for a few days."
Inuyasha grumbled almost leaving without thanking her, but Kagome had drilled manners into him with a few glares, sharp words, and the worst: a cold shoulder. She would be happy. He smiled at the thought of that and went on his way. As he sped off into the forest, past the other kids and beyond the outskirts of the little village, he wondered about Kagome. Where was she now? Why hadn't she told him she was going?
"Jeez," he stopped for a rest near the firefly bank where she had glowed for the first time. It was a pretty amazing sight to see your best friend glow like the lights around her. They had kept it a secret, a small little secret between the two of them. He looked into the reflective surface of the water and stared at himself.
Gold eyes blinked backed at him with curiosity, his silver shining hair making it seem as if he glowed in the midday sunlight. Kagome always commented on how pretty it was and how soft it was. But what she loved most were her ear rubs. He never wanted to tell her just how good it felt with her soft warm fingers rubbing his velvet ears, pretending to be annoyed and occasionally twitching them. But they itched to be touched again, it made him feel closer to her and warmth flooded his heart.
