Dear Journal
My name is Shippo. I have been living with Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Kirara, and Sango for quite awhile now. Kagome told me that i have to deal with my parents death. She says that maybe the nightmares will go away if i try to get out all the bad feelings, so i am keeping this journal (which was a present from kagome).
I finally told Kagome that i love her yesterday. She thinks that i mean as a mother. She just doesnt get it. She sees me as just a little kid. Im 63 years old. I know thats a little young for a demon, but not by human standards. to them i would be equal to about 16 or 17. I act immature because i know that if they see me like that, then i can get away with a lot more.
She just sees me as a little "Kitsune brat" just like Inuyasha does. I just want her to love me back. She makes it so much worse by letting me sleep next to her at night. I cant tell her that though, because then she will make me stop.
Half the time she thinks its Miroku watching when she bathes, but to be honest its me, with a Miroku illusion on. hehehe, she still hasnt figured it out. Oh wow, what am i saying? Im such a perv, im no better than Miroku. At least im not trying to have every woman that comes across my path have my child. In fact, if i am to have children, i want Kagome to be the mother. nobody else.

Shippo walked back to camp after his bath, in time to see kagome reading his journal. He blushed furriously, and took it back from her. Kagome had a dazed expression on her face, as she stared into space.
"I never knew you felt that way shippo" she said reaching out and giving him a hug. "I dont see you as just a 'kitsune brat'" she said, and i smelled the tears sliding down her face. "I love you too" she whispered.
"d-do you mean it kagome?" he asked.
"Yes, shippo. I didnt realize your age eather. I felt like such a perv myself." she answered laughing. "I cant believe it....How do you think theyll react?"
"what do you mean?"
Kagome blushed furriously "I mean, do you want to tell them?"
"Ok, just make sure that inuyasha is far away when you tell them." shippo said nervously "I mean, hes likely to pound me into the ground again."
"Dont worry about that. Ive got the word"
Shippo gently reached up to touch kagome's cheek. Seeing his paw on her cheek he sighed. "No, dont tell him. Kagome, im not good enough for you. Look at me! Im a little fox for godsakes. You deserve someone who will allow you to live your life withought the worry of being hunted down. Im not good enough for you. In fact you should go back to your own time. See how things work out with that hojo guy."
Crying, kagome ran back to the well.
As he watched her go, a lone tear slid down shippos cheek. "I love you kagome" he whispered after her. "Dont forget me."
