A/N: I know I stink at updating but please review and let me know what you think! Thanks to all of you who have added this as a favorite, it makes me feel all warm and tingly ^.^


I arrived at the group's location near sunset, right where I had left them near the outskirts of Edo. They hadn't moved. I was prepared to track them but it would seem as though Inuyasha was overruled. If the craters formed when he was told to "sit" were any proof, it was the Miko's doing.

"It ain't my fault the bastard left! Why's she takin' it out on me?" Inuyasha's voice echoed throughout the trees.

"I'm sure she isn't angry with you, Inuyasha. Kagome is just frustrated." The monk, Miroku said soothingly.

"I don't get why she takes what he says or does so seriously. It ain't like she should expect anything else from him."

"It sure doesn't help when you call her stupid." The kit, Shippo, said.

It seemed that the Miko had left. That irritated me for some reason. It didn't matter if she left. She could come and goes as she pleased. It was none of my concern. But I admit I was curious if it had been due to my actions.

I entered the campsite and all became silent. I raised a brow at Inuyasha who was flushed and glaring at me. I said nothing and took to a tree trunk further away from the group. The demon slayer, Sango, was busily preparing dinner. I can vaguely recall her offering some but I ignored her. Some time later, the group had settled down and were fast asleep. All except Inuyasha, who was bouncing his knee up and down, anxiously twitching his ears.

I had caught scent of her before she even came near the site. Inuyasha's inferior sense of smell obviously had not picked it up. Suddenly his head jerked up, eyes widened. I cracked an eye open and peered over at him. His voice came at as nothing but a whisper.

"Kikyo."
