InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Exploring the Sengoku Jidai ❯ Twinkle Twinkle ( Chapter 9 )

“Star light, star bright,

first star I see tonight…”

 

Kagome sat, knees to chest, looking at the vast array of glitters scattered across the moonless sky, wonder in her eyes and in her voice.

 

“What's that?” InuYasha peeped an eye open from his sprawl at her side.

 

“Just a nursery rhyme my mother used to sing to help me sleep at night.”

 

“What's so great about the first star?”

 

“You get to make a wish on it.”

 

“Wish on a star?” He considered this for a moment. “That's a lot of wishes if you live long enough.”

 

“Yes, it is.”

 

They shared a silence, both staring at all unmade wishes above them.

 

”Do you make a wish every night?” He sounded genuinely curious.

 

“Pretty much.”

 

“What kind of stuff do you wish for?”

 

She didn't answer right away, and he began to wonder if he really wanted to know.

 

“Stuff like this,” she said at last.

 

“Like what?” he furrowed his brows, confused.

 

“I promise you'll be the first to know when my wishes come true, InuYasha.”

 

“Whatever.” He closed his eyes again.

 

Kagome smiled at the stars, and they twinkling their amusement back at her.
