Heart of Tensaiga
A Little Determination
Kagome tossed and turned in her bed, her mind on what Sesshomaru had told her. She'd quickly finished her math homework and worked on her science next. His closeness made her nervous though she knew he was only so close so that he could read whatever was in the books on her desk.
Within the comfort of her blankets after a nice warm bath she found that sleep escaped her this night. It wasn't that tugging feeling like before; it was her thoughts running rampant about her life and what Sesshomaru had told her. He thought she could do it, that she could overcome both past and present if she just tried hard enough.
She let out a sigh and wondered why the great demon lord Sesshomaru would believe that one such as her could pull off such a feat. Another turn in the sheets and her thoughts were right back where they had started. Inuyasha would have told her that her studies weren't important, just the jewel shards, so what was the matter with failing.
Her thoughts drifted towards Sesshomaru and she suddenly realized both of them had more in common than she thought. They both hunted down Naraku, her modern era duties were his lordly duties, where she had Shippo he had Rin, and let's face it they both had an Inuyasha problem at times. If he could do it, then so could she.
With a determined nod she whispered, "I can do it. Thank you for everything, Sesshomaru."
(A/N) Alright, almost time for chapter 70! First, thank you for all the wonderful reviews and thank you to all my loyal readers. I just wanted to warn you that for the next twenty chapters the story will be focused elsewhere as I wanted a little more plot direction for the other characters, especially the pairs. Don't worry, I won't forget about Sesshomaru and Kagome (who could honestly?) but I felt that the others needed a bit more fleshing out. Next up, an OC introduction!
