Chapter 10: Loneliness.

Days passed, and every evening, Shiro snuck off to the forest, in hope to see Naraku again.

After a whole month passed, Shiro began losing hope.

Once she gave up, she remained issolated.

She laid in the den, tears fallin down her fur here and there.

One evening, Yuro came in.

She had told Shiro about her run in with Naraku, which Shiro didn't mind.

She sat next to Shiro.

" He's gone, isn't he?" Yuro asked.

Shiro nodded.

Yuro sighed, " Well, just thing it's for the best, he did kidnap you and..."

" Stop it Yuro." Shiro stood up, moving away from her.

" Shiro, why do you help him? He killed a member of ours, he kidnapped you and threatened to kill you, why are you so drawn to him..."

" Because I love him!" Shiro shouted out turning to Yuro.

Yuro stared shocked, and at the same time Shiro gasped at her outburst, listening to her words she just spoke.

" You... Love.." Yuro began losing balance, and leaned against the rock, dizzy.

Shiro looked down, thinking about her words, that just came out of nowhere, 'Do I really?...'

She raised her head and looked out of the cave.

A small smiled formed, she did love him.

She can't explain why, or how.

" What did you..." Yuro was talking, but cutting off her sentences with gasps.

Shiro walked up to the mouth of the cave, and sat down looking out at the open lands.

Naraku was out there somewhere, and she had to save him.

From his danger that may come...From his loneliness.
