Chapter Update

Remnants of Unity Ch. 25: Time to Go, is up on AO3 |&| FFN

Kagome listened as the click of heels on the tile floor grew closer. She eased the door shut and backed away, her heel catching on something and almost sending her sprawling. The clicking stopped outside of the door and Kagome tensed, frozen in place and holding her breath like that would do her any good. The door swung open and Kagura sauntered in, a deep scowl twisting her features. She didn’t bother shutting the door behind her.
Looking at Kagome expectantly, Kagura pursed her lips and tapped her fan against her shoulder. “It’s time for you to go,” she said quickly. “You’ve overstayed your welcome.”
Kagome could only stare in stunned silence wondering if she’d heard correctly. When Kagura continued to stare her down, Kagome fought to find her voice. “Wh-What do you mean, time to go? I’m kind of a prisoner here, in case you forgot.”
Kagura rolled her eyes and huffed loudly. “A prisoner who is supposed to be escaping. I’ve opened the door now you just have to run through it.”

Kagome leaned against the nearest wall once the festivities were over. She looked great, but the way her heels pinched her toes was disastrous.
Inuyasha looked over his shoulder and backtracked, crouching down without a word. He tapped his shoulder, expectant.
"You wanna carry me?"
"I plan on getting home tonight."
She stared at his back; taking the weight off was tempting. Her arms looped his neck before he stood straight, and she shrieked when he leapt from the pavement to balance them along a fence.
He laughed when she clapped a hand over her mouth. "Your place or mine?"

Kagome had planned it. With precisely two hours after work to get ready for a last-minute party, she had the perfect amount of time to shower, do her makeup and tame her hair into something Christmas-appropriate.
If only Inuyasha would stop following her around, kissing her into every soft surface available.
"I have to get ready," she said between breaths.
"We'll be late."
She had a retort; it was on the tip of her tongue. But his lips ghosted along her jawline, his face tucked into her neck, and her attempts to deter him became as feeble as her punctuality.

I think it’s helpful to read these two scenes together for the second one to make emotional sense.

I think Kagome gets upset at InuYasha's comment because, to her, it implies that he thinks she's somehow unaffected, or has overcome her pain. But she hasn't. She's still hurting. And while InuYasha recognizes—and even apologizes for overlooking—Kagome's pain after the fight with Kaō, I don't think he really understands the source or the severity of that pain. Kagome intentionally shields him from the former (when she keeps Kaō from saying who is hurting her), but I think she wants InuYasha to understand the latter, at least to some degree.

Strength can often be a burden. "You're so strong" suggests that the other person does not see—and thus cannot ever help you with—your own struggles. Kagome's outburst is her immediate gut-wrench reaction of, "This isn't easy for me, I'm still feeling and struggling with this, please see that."

The rain pelted down hard, enough for some of the drops to spatter onto the deeply ridged bark of the big tree, which usually has such dense foliage that was near impenetrable.

A peek of silver darted up momentarily, a highlight in the rich green canopy. Just a quick glance through the haze of rain that blanketed the surrounding landscape told the hanyou what he needed to know.

What if the shikon jewel didn’t exist and Naraku never came to be? What if Kagome fell down the well anyway and met a gruff, young inu-hanyou. Would they still become friends? What would be their story?

Actually, I think girls in middle school and high school should still feel comfortable having fuzzy pillows and lava lamps and glitter pens and sequin tops and a colorful wardrobe and whatever else they think is pretty or cool. Maybe we shouldn’t, like, try to beat the personality and life out of the youngsters, neither should we expect them to act like anything other than their actual age.

People wonder why kids are so obsessed with video games when I see grown adults telling *elementary schoolers* that they’re too old to play with dolls or play food or train sets, or that they’re being “ridiculous” for pretending to be animals or Frozen characters. I’ve met so many kids who are completely ashamed that they want to play with my toys when I offer because it’s for “babies” despite desperately wanting to.

Also as soon as you hit 22 you will be running straight back to the fuzzy pillows, lava lamps and glitter pens there's just this bizarre spot where you're a teenager when society says you shouldn't do those things

Most people my age have at least one stuffed animal in their bed, trust me you don't actually need to let that shit go

When Inuyasha arrived at her apartment after his shift, Kagome felt the dark cloud looming over his head before she saw him.
"What's wrong?" she asked immediately.
"Nothin'," he grumbled, discarding his shoes.
She zipped her lips – if he wanted to talk about it, he'd crack eventually.
"Work Christmas party," he said after a moment, that look of agitation becoming sheepish. "I'm being hounded into bringing you."
"Oh, well…you know I'd love to."
Inuyasha cringed before he uttered, "It's tomorrow."
"Oh. Oh." She was already up, panic moving her feet to rummage through her closet for something, anything to wear.
