Up Above the World
Friday
“I see a star!” Kagome exclaimed from her spot upon the sand. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes and couldn’t help the retort on his tongue.
“How very perceptive you are. The sky is full of them.”
Kagome’s laughter was stifled by her hand over her mouth. “No silly, see those ones up there,” Her small finger pointed to a particular piece of the night sky. “They make up the shape of a star.”
Sesshoumaru let out a huff. He was bored with this game but it was Kagome’s idea. When she explained how she often tried to spot shapes out of the stars with her father he decided to indulge her. She prodded his side and asked him again if he spotted anything, and again he replied in the negative.
“It is getting late, and I must return to my family soon.”
“Hey Sesshoumaru,” Kagome ignored his statement and rolled onto her stomach to look at him. “Do you think we’ll be able to visit each other after we go home?”
“Hn. It is possible.”
“I sure hope so.”
“You worry entirely too much for a child.”
“Ha! You’re just a kid too.”
“True, but I am also youkai.”
The two were brought from their musings when Sesshoumaru’s father called for him. “We haven’t got all night boy.”
Kagome’s smile faded and she hugged him goodbye. He returned her gesture and refused to let her go. “Take care Kagome. Remember what I’ve told you.”
Her reply was lost to him when her face made contact with his chest. When the two released each other Kagome waved and watched until the taillights disappeared from her view. She made the trek back to her house alone. Falling onto her bed she slept, wondering when she would be able to see her Sesshoumaru again.
