Night found Kagome sitting on a bench in between her Shrine and the Hojo Estate. The bench she was sitting on was resting over a small hill at the side of the road and she had a great view of Tokyo.
She had been doing things like these the last few days. Just sitting around and waiting for anything to happen. She stared at the dark forest around the city, the darkened alleys and even the parks, indirectly placing herself where she could be found if needed.
She was still unsure if it was good or bad, but no crazed youkai had crossed her way yet. That simple fact brought a small sorrow to her heart… it meant there were so few youkai left that none happened to be near her. Or perhaps they had fled the country in search of a less radioactive environment.
That made sense.
Why hadn't Sesshomaru done the same?
What was keeping him here?
Was Inuyasha saying the true? Did Sesshomaru really like her? It couldn't be true…could it? But…was that even important? No… she shouldn't dwindle in that question, if Sesshomaru liked her or not, and instead she should focus on…
Did she feel something for the Taiyoukai?
That was the real, important question.
So, Kagome lay on the bench, eyes up in the night sky, and allowed her thoughts to wander.
To be continued...
Thanks for the reviews!
