Summary: Passing thoughts.

Why doesn't he at least look at me? We've been traveling for two days now, and he hasn't argued with me once. It's not like him. He's almost acting like New Moon is coming tonight, but that isn't until next week so that can't be it.
Hmm... I almost wish it were tonight. He's calmer then. Less jumpy. And it's not just his looks that change either. His tone and mannerisms change, too. I really like him like that. He actually lets me get as close to him as I want. It's nice.
But right now... He's such a mystery. It's been hours since he said anything at that was just to tell Shippou to stop picking the flowers. Poor Shippou. I know InuYasha likes him; I just wish he'd show it more.
For that matter, when is Miroku going to make a move on Sango without being a letch? He has to have gotten the hint by now. She follows him everywhere, and no one can miss the look she gets on her face when he talks to other women. He is just so clueless. Even InuYasha can see that.
InuYasha. He still hasn't looked at me. Could he be mad or upset about something? No, that can't be it. He's never quiet about something like that. Come to think of it, he's not usually quiet about anything.
What is he thinking.

She doesn't have to be so quiet. I like her voice. Even when she's yelling and says that word. There's something about it that makes me happy.
I can't look at her. Not right now. Not when she smells like that. Not when the others are around. It's not fair. It never is.
I guess I should be happy there's not a new moon tonight. I don't think I'd be able to resist her then. Not with the others taking over our protection.
Why do they always have to stick us together alone when that night comes. It's not fair. I can barely resist her with my human nose. She always smells softer then. And the moment my full sense of smell comes back... Well, that's almost unbearable. I just want to... Dammit, but I can't.
I can't. I can't. I can't do that. I just can't. But I want to. More than anything else, I want to. I scare her sometimes as it is. I don't think I could handle it if I scared her that way. That could mean the end of it all. I don't want it to end. Especially not like that.
Why does she keep looking over at me like that? I wonder if she knows? And if she does, what is she expecting me to do? I wish she'd just say something.
I haven't done anything to make her mad this time. At least I don't think I have. But she's never this quiet. She's always talking with Shippou or Sango or Miroku. Sango and Miroku are back there talking to themselves, but why isn't she talking to Shippou?
The only time she's this quiet is when I said something to make her mad. But she doesn't have that look on her face. She just looks like she's... thinking.
I wonder... Does she know that I love her?

Hehe. Kinda sappy, but it works. I have an idea for a sequel (gasp! I have my muse back!!) but I'll let you wait a while for that one. grin
Shippou: Why did he yell at me like that? I was just picking flowers for Kagome...
