Chapter 11

Word Count: 100

Prompt from Stella Mira's Soundtrack Challenge #7: Separation

So caught up in her impulsive choice to follow Sesshomaru, Kagome had completely forgotten to tell her friends about her decision, and Inuyasha met them at the edge of the village, face red with anger.

“Sesshomaru, where do you think you are taking Kagome?”

“Step aside, half-breed,” warned Sesshomaru in a deadly tone, having no patience for his brother at this time.

“Why you—” began Inuyasha, but Kagome quickly interrupted his tirade.

“Calm down, Inuyasha. Sesshomaru’s not taking me anywhere. I’m going with him.” Her expression turned sheepish as she fidgeted a little. “I kinda forgot to tell you.”

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hello my faithful readers,

It had been brought to my attention that drabbles may sometimes be more difficult to follow for readers because a plot is being contained within 100 words per chapter, so from now on I will leave ‘cliff notes’ here and there. They will tell you why the plot went in a certain direction, and how it got there and etc.

CLIFF NOTE #1:

Sesshomaru allowed Kagome to follow him because, though he tries to deny it, he is heartbroken over Rin’s death. He doesn’t realize it consciously, but subconsciously he does not want to be left alone with his sorrow. And perhaps she reminds him a little of the child he had lost.

My readers, Sesshomaru is NOT accustomed to such strong feelings; he has no hope of being able to cope let alone understand his feelings...at least not alone.
