31—Involved

Kagome made a fire as the darkness settled around her. She was secretly grateful for their halt. Her feet ached and her stomach was cramping from being sick and empty so it felt great to sit down and relax a little.

She had to admit, she felt guilty for grinding on his nerves earlier. Getting him to say her name was fun and games but whenever she kept bringing up Inuyasha…

Sesshomaru had sounded so…

Bitter.

Kagome hugged her knees, staring blankly into the flames.

'I wonder why?' she thought, followed by 'Oh no, Kagome…don't…'

"Arrgh," Kagome groaned.

Too late.
