A Darkness from within

chapter 3.

Kagome and Inuyasha had heard something they weren't supposed to hear, or they should never have been listening into her conversation with someone else in the first place, but they spied throughout Serena's therapy session

Of course, Kagome almost took everything out of context and all she could hear was that her friend was in love with her boyfriend, and she was getting jealous she'd almost missed the whole point of what they were talking about.

Keada did not want her to say a word to her because what she did was very invasive of privacy, and she did not respect the boundaries between a doctor and a patient's confidentiality

Serena was wandering around another magical bookstore. She brought some more Spellbooks with her.

She was looking for more spells. Soon, she returned to the village. Keada repeatedly told the others to back off and leave her alone.

Do not bring up her past or what Kagome and Inuyasha had heard, it's obvious that she's trying to get help for it, and if she exposes that she was listening it could make things a lot worse,

So, the others pretended that nothing was wrong even though they did look at her differently now because of what they heard and what she had been exposed to made them feel sad for her.

Sango and Kagome whispered back and forth about it before she got back and they all knew that they had to forget about hearing Kagome tell them what she and Inuyasha had heard, it was none of their business, because well they didn't know the whole story they don't know every detail, Kagome only knew half of what she heard that Serena had been attacked when she was a kid just like that little girl, which made her so angry in the first place.

Kagome knew she should respect her privacy and not say a word.

Keada told her to leave the young girl alone. Never bring it up unless She wants to talk about it.

She has commitment issues and trust, and if she finds out the truth that they all know, she will lash out much worse and she won't be able to trust them again, and it could make matters worse.

Keada also didn't want them to talk about it, because the last thing they needed was for Naraku to use this against her, of what they all knew, and if she turned against them there all be in trouble.

So, they all agreed that neither one would say anything to her.

Serena returned and as she had reached the village she looked right at them.

She finally decided to say she was sorry to them all. When she used the word sorry the others looked at her a little strangely but then they asked her are you feeling all right.

Serena nodded yes.

She began to explain why she was sorry, she knew she had been difficult and mean lately, and she was sorry for letting what happened in that village get to her, she promised she would not let this Darkness overrule her judgment to do what was right, she wanted to do good, so she hope they could forgive her, and they could start over.

Inuyasha nodded but of course, and he said welcome back.

The other two nodded of course they forgave her, and they agreed that in that situation that would have made anyone go buggy they wanted to hurt those people too, so they didn't blame her.

Kagome just couldn't forget what she had overheard back there, she couldn't pretend like it never happened, because she did overhear her story, but the part of it she felt bad for her, she didn't know the true story and she wasn't looking at it from the right point of view of someone hurt and struggling, the only part of that session she's thinking about was that this girl has feelings for her boyfriend, and then she went and dumped her boyfriend, so, what kind of game is she playing it, thought Kagome.
