Thank you.

Inuyasha had spent a good portion of his time in slavery hooked up to the over-rider, and he'd abhorred the training that he was forced to do.

Worst of all, he missed Shippo and he was afraid of what the Others were going to do to him.

"Are you ok?"

The soft gentle voice knocked Inuyasha's thought's clear out of his head.

"Yes Mistress," he replied, sitting upright after finding that he had slipped and was leaning against the window of the vehicle.

"Inuyasha-san? Who is Shippo?"

If he weren't a slave, Inuyasha would have turned sheet white. As it was, he swallowed the pool of saliva that had mysteriously, instantly, appeared in his mouth.

"He was-" Inuyasha choked.

Kagome saw that it hurt him to say anything so she quickly touched his arm and said, "It's ok. You don't have to tell me. Not if you don't want." She was silent for a moment then spoke again, this time it was a whisper. "My father was killed in a car accident." She said softly, staring out the window. "Some drunk guy came careening out of nowhere and hit him. He survived the crash, and the surgery, but-" she choked. "One of his wounds got infected. They couldn't stop it from spreading and he died."

She looked at him, tears threatening to fall down her cheeks. "I miss him." She gave him a watery smile. "If you ever want to tell me anything just say something. I'll listen."

Inuyasha was sorely tempted to take the bitch up on her offer. He'd never told anyone of the scene that plagued his dreams on a regular basis.

"Feh."

A/N- Hi! Domo arigato gozaimos! Arigato gozaimos for all of the reviews. Also gomen nasai X 3. I promised you that I'd update on the twentieth. My lame excuse? I went to work from about 8:oo am to five then went to my riding lesson and after that caught the tail end of martial arts. I'm sorry. I'm also soory that this is a really short chapter.
