Two months since Shinobu had turned his back on her.
Two months since he had left taking with him her heart.
Two months since Itsuki as given his word that he would keep an eye on the cracking detective.
Two months without a word from either of them.
Two terrible gut wrenching months filled with fear and sorrow as she vexed herself into a near useless tizzy, it had affected her enough that even the emotionally constipated InuYasha had started to notice.
Kagome sighed as she pushed away the thick book filled with numbers and equations that even on a good day had her head spinning, her hand slipped past her shirt grasping what little remained of her shards. And she knew, knew with absolute certainty that they were the only few Naraku was not in possession of. There wasn't a doubt in her mind that as summer reached its apex the half demon would make his move.
It would be someone's final.
There should be no regrets.
I want no regrets if the worst should happen.
…Shinobu… I want to tell you…
I have to tell you…
Her hand clenched the shards and her eyes slid close as they filled with tears that quickly fell as her world came crumbling down around her.
I love you.
