Bound Endlessly

by FrenchFlutter

What do you do when you receive a birthday present you never thought in a million years would be possible? What if everything you fought so hard for, was all for nothing? What if you never really made a difference at all? Maybe, just maybe, it's all in how you look at it. Maybe, we are all just bound... bound endlessly to a thing called fate!

38. Chapter 38: Tired

Chapter 38: Tired

---

The ride home was made in silence other than the lull of the car's engine. Millions of questions raced through Kagome's head as she sat in the back seat next to the stoic demon. What had he endured over the past 500 years? What had become of her friends? When had he been captured? How had he been captured? How'd he end up in America? What did he already know of modern times? He had called her miko earlier, so did he know she was the same girl who had traveled with his half-brother? Did he know she had no intention of forcing him to do anything even though she placed the beads on him? What was she going to do with him when she got home? Just how did this binding work? Was he going to leave or stay with her?

Kagome was tired. Tired of thinking. Tired of being awake. Tired of the emotional rollercoaster this day has been. Tired of this day.

At least she would never forget this birthday! Whether that was a good thing or a bad thing Kagome hadn't decided yet. Time answers all questions... eventually.
