InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Remember Me in the Stars ❯ Courage ( Chapter 11 )

Courage

When she woke up, everything crashed. Sleep had been bliss, erasing her memory of

everything that had happened. But waking up made her remember. It made her remember

everything. She knew what she had to do. She had thought of it last night while gazing at the

stars. But the real question was, would she have the courage and strength to do it?

Sesshoumaru walked by the gates and saw Kagome and Kikyo coming out of the car. Kikyo

gave one of her annoying flirtacious smiles at the handsome man. But Kagome walked

straight on with determination in her steps, and a hint of fear in her eyes. She was thinking so

hard that she passed by him without a glance. Sesshoumaru walked quickly to catch up with

her. Gently grabbing her arm, he stopped her. Kagome turned around and looked surprised

when she saw Sesshoumaru grabbing onto her.

"Sesshoumaru, ohayo."

"Ohayo, how are you feeling?"

Kagome's eyebrows pressed together.

"What are you up to? You've been asking me that a lot lately."

"Can't a person care for you?" he added that with his most sincere smile. But she saw through

it.

"You're up to something. I have to go, I have to settle something."

"What are you going to do that makes you scared?'

She looked startled, and the fear in her eyes increased.

"I need to take care of something."

"It has to do with my brother, doesn't? What are you planning on doing?"

"I-I have to go."

Pulling free from his grasp, Kagome ran into the school. Leaving two people staring at her.

One in thought, one in anger.

She was going to wait till after school. Not only would most people already be home, but she

would be able to catch him before he went to other....appointments. She was going to do it.

She had to. During her classes, she didn't pay any attention. Only Sesshoumaru, Sango, and

Miroku noticed how preoccupied she was. Miroku asked what was wrong during history and

Kagome politely said nothing. When lunch came, Sango asked her how she was feeling and

what had happened. Kagome gave her promises to tell her later. When the last bell rang, her

beating heart was so loud Kagome felt that everybody could hear it. When she found

Inuyasha, she asked to talk to him. He followed her to the gardens and Kagome led him to the

same grove of trees as yesterday. His eyes flickered nervousness. She took a deep breath,

taking strength from her mother's necklace.

"Why did you bring me here Kagome?"

"Do you remember?"

"Remember what?"

"Yesterday."
