Summary It's OK to cry
Shippou beamed at Kagome. It had been three long years since they had last seen her. He had almost given up hope that she would return to them. Almost being the operative word. So long as Inuyasha went to the well every three days, he knew that there was hope
Now that hope had been realized. As he looked around at the smiling faces, he noted that there was not a dry eye on the faces of the Inu-tachi. Even Inuyasha. This he could not deny the tears rolling down his cheeks.
He had always known that Inuyasha was a big softee. Inuyasha might say that he did not cry, but he had seen the tears when he thought Kagome was dead that day just as he did now. The tears were different. They were tears of joy instead of tears of sorrow
Inuyasha was still hogging Kagome, but Shippou was not about to wait. If Inuyasha could hug Kagome and cry on her shoulder, so could he. He leapt from Miroku's shoulder to Kagome's shoulder and proceeded to hug Kagome.
Kagome smiled at him through tear stained eyes. Shippou whispered to Inuyasha " Is it OK to cry now?"
Although Inuyasha wanted to kick him to the moon for interrupting his moment with Kagome, but he was so choked up with tears at the moment all he could do was nod. Shippou smiled instead, cataloging this moment for a time when he needed something on Inuyasha. .
