Disclaimer: You guys do know I don't own Inuyasha. Right ?
It was really dark. I could barely see my own hand in front of my face. I looked pass the campfire over to where Miroku was meditating in front of a tree. He was completely lost in thought. But then I realized he wasn't meditating any more, he was asleep. He looked so troubled. That's why I thought think he was meditating. ' I wonder what he's dreaming about. ' I thought to myself. I looked over to where Inuyasha was. He was way up in a tree right above where Kagome was sleeping. He sat there glancing down at Kagome ever so often. She was asleep too. I should be asleep, but for some reason I seem to be having trouble tonight. Inuyasha must have noticed, because he jumped from his tree and landed right next to me.
" Go to sleep. Your not gonna slow us down tomorrow " I sat up from my bed and tucked some loose hair behind my ear.
" I can't for some reason. I keep on trying to go to sleep but I just can't. " I sighed. ' If only he knew the real reason I couldn't sleep. '
" Well try harder ! " he said harshly but not too loud. He then jumped back up into his tree. I laid back down and closed my eyes. Then felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Miroku crouched beside me.
" Miroku, what are you doing awake ? I thought you were asleep. "
" I was. Then Inuyasha woke me up. Why are you having trouble sleeping ? "
" I don't know. " I lied. And he saw right threw it. He always did.
" Could it have something to do with the fight tomorrow ? "
" Maybe. . .Yes "
~**~**~**~**~**~
I heard Sango and Miroku talking. And was glad that he wasn't groping her for once. But instead helping her. I looked up above me to where Inuyasha was sitting in his tree. He glanced down at me but just as quickly looked away.
" Inuyasha . . . " I said low enough that only he could hear. It was like he was expecting it because he immediately jumped from his tree to where I was lying.
" What ? " He said a bit irritably. But I knew it was only his tough guy act kicking in.
" Well . . . I was wondering . . .after tomorrow, if we defeat Niraku, what will you do with the jewel ? " He was silent. And so were Sango and Miroku. They had heard my question and wanted to know the answer also.
" I don't want to talk about this now. We'll worry about that once we defeat Niraku. " He then jumped back up into the his tree. No one said a word. Miroku quietly made his way back to where he had been sleeping. Sango quietly got comfortable again and closed her eyes. I just watched Inuyasha. His face became troubled. And he looked lost in his thoughts as he stared at the full moon in the dark night sky.
' The sky is very pretty tonight. Shippo would have loved to have been here to see it. But he is with Kiade. He had begged to come, but this battle was just too dangerous for him. So we left him behind. '
I continued to look up at the beautiful navy blue sky. The stars looked just like diamonds tonight. It never looked this pretty at home. I sighed remembering how many tests I was going to have to make up once I returned. I had been gone for two weeks straight without returning. I closed my eyes beginning to feel sleepy, again unaware of the battle already begun in the hanyou overhead.

' Why did she have to bring up the jewel ?
I have no idea anymore of what to wish for.
What if the monk is right and once I turn full demon I devour Kagome and Shippo.
I can't let that happen.
So I guess that puts " full demon " out of the question.
Well then do I turn human ?
NO. . .absolutely not.
It will be just as worse.
I won't be able to protect them. Then they'll be killed for sure.
So what the heck do I do ??? '
He sighed and looked down to the girl asleep underneath him.
' She's so beautiful when she's asleep.
Totally unaware of the world around her. . . .'
He continued to think about Kagome until it was almost morning, and he gave in to the urge to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Miroku yawned as he opened his eyes to greet the new day. He glanced over to where Sango lay. Only to find she wasn't there.
" She must have made a trip to the hot spring near by. I better go make sure she doesn't need anything. " He said out loud to himself. He got up and began to walk towards the stream until Inuyasha jumped from the tree overhead and stopped him.
" And just where do you think your going ? " Inuyasha asked in a voice that told Miroku he already knew the answer.
" To check on Sango. Unless there's something wrong with that ? " said Miroku in a confident voice.
" O no you don't ! You know Sango is bathing you pervert. So sit down and wait till She and Kagome get back ! " Inuyasha said while pointing to the tree Miroku had been sleeping against moments before.
" O, I see. So that's why you won't let me go down there. " said Miroku as he turned to walk back towards the tree.
" Monk, what the heck are you talkin about ? " said Inuyasha with aggravated look on his face.
" If it was just sango at the hot spring, you would have let me go. But sense Kagome's there . . . " said Miroku stopping mid sentence as he noticed the girls coming though the woods behind Inuyasha. But Inuyasha didn't notice.
" That's a bunch of crap. I could care less about Kagome, and you know it ! I'm just trying to save you from gettin another bump on your head. " said Inuyasha quite proud of the way he defended him self. But then he noticed the look Miroku was giving him. That's when Inuyasha figured out what Miroku was trying to tell him. He turned around to see a stunned Sango staring at him. Then he saw Kagome. Who was looking at the ground trying to pretend she wasn't there and didn't see him. He could see her eyes starting to water.
" Kagome I . . . " she stopped him before he could finish.
" It's ok Inuyasha. I understand. Sango, I'll be right back. I think I left something back at the hot spring. " and with that she left.
Sango watched her go then turned back towards Inuyasha.
" How could you say something like that ? And in front of her. " Said Sango motioning to where Kagome had just walked off.
Inuyasha didn't reply. What could he say ? Nothing he said could make this better. He would just have to give Kagome some time alone and then try to explain it to her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome sat down on a rock next to the hot spring.
She began to think about what she had just heard him say.
***FLASHBACK ***
Sango and Kagome where walking threw the woods on there way back from the hot spring.
" That would be a great surprise for Inuyasha. " said Sango complementing on the idea Kagome had just voiced.
" Do you really think so ? " said Kagome still a little unsure.
" Of coarse ! He's always complaining about how weird the clothes you wear look. So he'll love this ! " said Sango with a smile on her face. Trying hard to convince her friend.
" Hey, Kagome, do you hear that ? It sounds like Miroku and Inuyasha are arguing about something. " And that's when she heard him say it.
" That's a bunch of crap. I could care less about Kagome, and you know it ! . . .
***END OF FLASHBACK***
The tears where pouring from her eyes now. What had she been thinking ? She knew he loved Kikyo. So why did she think he liked her ?
