A/N: Warning this chapter may contain severe Inuyasha pity content then again you just may wanna blow him up with a bazooka which works for you. I do not own Inuyasha not that I care however I do wish I owned some of the caracters you for 'special' reasons okay totally Miroku moment there, but any way let us move on into this chapter.
Shortly after Kagome and Sesshomaru had left on their youki clouds, and Miroku had regained conciousness and after Inuyasha had recovered from the beating Sango had given him, the small group took off towards the Western lands to attend their friends wedding which was sure to be a grand event.
Miroku, Sango, and Shippo rode on Kirara, while Inuyasha simply jumper from tree top to tree top. They had been traveling for a few hours before they decided to stop and rest for the night. The sun was setting in the west, and the small group had definatly gotten far in their traveling, for they were a mere two days from the palace of the Western lands.
The small group sat around the fire in silence, thinking of the day's events. They were all happy to have seen Kagome again, even Inuyasha although he was too stubborn to admit it. But through the joy of seeing their friend again, they were also confused. Confused on the fact Kagome was a demon, confused on the relationship between her and Sesshomaru, but no one had voiced their confusion, well not until a small and extremely confused fox demon decided he wanted answers to the questions that were bouncing around in his head.
"How come Kagome's a demon? Why was she with Sesshomaru? I thought he hated her cause she's human, or was, or was she? I'm so confused!" Shippo yelled, clenching his fiss against his head as if to keep it from exploding from all the confusing thoughts within it.
Miroku placed a hand on Shippo's shoulder and gave him a small comforting smile before answering.
"We're all confused Shippo, but I believe the only one's who can answer those questions are Kagome and Sesshomaru. And we must wait till we get to the palace before we can ask them."
Miroku's words got him a quick nod of understandiong from Shippo who cuddled up to Kirara for to sleep.
Sango gave him a small yet sad smile before saying goodnight and laying down by the small fire cat and sleeping kitsune.
Miroku watched as Sango slowly drifted of to sleep, and waited until he was she was asleep before walking over to Inuyasha and sitting down.
Miroku starred at his friend for a bit before turning his attention to the fire.
"Wanna talk about it?" Miroku asked, as he peered at his friend through the corner of his violet eyes.
"Keh... what's there to talk about?"
"Look Inuyasha, I know that this is hurting you, but your being too stubborn to show it. I know you still have feelings for Kagome even though you chose Kikyo, and you can talk to me, man to man. Kagome means alot to you just like how Sango means the world to me." Miroku turned his head so his violet eyes were starring intently into Inuyasha's golded ones.
Inuyasha looked into his friend's eyes and sighed he knew Miroku was right.
"I guess I just thought she'd never leave me even when she left two years ago I thought she'd come back, but when I saw her this morning with Sesshomaru, SESSHOMARU! My Bastard Half-Brother for Kami's sake! ... I knew she wouldn't wait around forever I guess, I kinda wish she did, but she moved on, and to Sesshomaru! The Enemy! And not to mention she's a demon, an Inu-Demon! I blew it, I really blew it I lost her for good." Inuyasha lowered his gaze, hiddig eyes behind his bangs.
Miroku felt pity for his friend, he couldn't imagine lossing the one he loved, he knew if ever lost Sango he would die of heart break.
Miroku decided he would try and lighten his friends mod with one of his usual wayward comments.
"Well look at it this way Inuyasha, at least she's not with Kouga, and once her and Sesshomaru are mated she becomes part of the Inu-Taisho family, so that makes her like your sister."
"What are you trying to say monk?"
"Well maybe if you look at Kagome as a new sister rather than an old lover, maybe you can ward off impure thoughts."
"Impure thoughts? What do you take me for monk? I'm not pervert like you!" Inuyasha yelled, jumping up in a rage brandishing his fists at the now cowering Monk.
"Now calm down Inuyasha. That's not what I meant, I was merely trying to say if you look at Kagome as a sister you'll love her like her sister rather than as a lover." Miroku said, his usual calm voice edged with fear as he held his hands up defensivly infront of his face.
Inuyasha unclenched his fists, in a way Miroku was right, not that Inuyasha would admit it.
"Keh... whatever." was all Inuyasha said, before jumping up into the tree, where he styed the rest of the night, keeping watch over his friend and thinking about Kagome and what Miroku said.
