InuYasha did nothing but think. How horrible he is! Just sitting on a high tree-the Sacred Tree, actually-thinking about what to do about Kagome. Only thinking! He really is dumb.

"Kagome..." He whispered again, about the millionth time that day. "What the heck am I going to do?!" Then, he did something even he didn't expect to do:

He went down to the well, expecting it to be sealed. A purple-like glow came. That meant...that meant he could see Kagome! He didn't know that she was at her own apartment, not at her mother's. He didn't even know she'd moved out. Wow, he's really got to start keeping up with her life, but they've been in so many fights lately, and all...

He burst into the house, Kagome's mother in the kitchen. "Wha-" She gasped as she dropped a baby carrot. "Oh...InuYasha..." She was nervous. InuYasha was here, but Kagome wasn't. Doesn't he know she isn't here, her mother thought.

"Hey, uh, is Kagome here? Or at school? Or...where is she?" InuYasha felt just as awkward as Kagome's mother.

"Um, no, she isn't here right now, InuYasha. I'm sorry." She answered, trying her best not to tell him where her daughter was.

"Where is she?" He just had to ask. Now she couldn't lie.

"Um, InuYasha, she is..."

"Wha-at?" He was becoming aggitated, and said what as two syllable instead of just one.

"Kagome is not here, InuYasha." She answered calmly.

InuYasha was getting very impatient now. He couldn't stand it anymore. "Well where is she?!"

Kagome's mother's eyes widened in surprise for a moment, then as her heartbeat calmed down, she replied, "Oh, InuYasha...Kagome hasn't lived here for almost a year. I guess you don't know because you hardly ever come back with her, and certainly haven't in this past year."

"So." The half-demon said harshly. "Where is she now?"

"That, InuYasha," Kagome's mother finally decided she had had enough and told him the truth, "I can't tell you, because Kagome asked me not to. Well, just 'in case' you broke her grandfather's seal on the well." She gave a little laugh, but then became serious once again.

InuYasha's ear twitched. "Why not?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"She doesn't want to see you." She paused a moment, then added, "Now, I don't know why this is, but I do know she is angry at you and wants to be left alone."

"Oh, c'mon! Tell me where she is, lady!" He grabbed her pink shirt; he was so angry, he was becoming hostle.

Kagome's mother let out a small shriek, but it was a huge pang in InuYasha ear. "Put me down this instant!" She demanded.

At that moment, InuYasha realized what he was doing, let go of her shirt, and turned crimson, very crimson.

"Where is she?" He asked in a low voice, though not a whisper; he looked at the floor like he was ashamed of what he just did.

"She is..." Kagome's mother trailed. She didn't want to tell where Kagome was, and yet, she did. Even though she didn't know InuYasha very well, like Kagome, she still knew they were destined for each other, although she wouldn't use those words.

"Hey mom!" Sota hollerd. "I'm back from Kagome's place! Where'd you g-" He walked into the kitchen and saw InuYasha and his mother. "Oh, InuYasha, you're here." He said in a voice that said, sort of, get out before...blah blah blah. What's the kid going to do? He's only in the seventh grade.

"Hey kid, where'd you say you just came from?" InuYasha said hopefully.

"502 Kyackii Street, Apartment A296. Why? You aren't going to go there, are you, InuYasha?" Well, he shouldn't have done that.

"Hey, thanks, kid!" InuYasha ran of to find the address, and hoping Kagome would be there.
