(Reflections)

A gentle breeze blew throughout the grassy landscape as Inuyasha set down a small bouquet of flowers 'Hi mother, it's me. I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately, even after I woke up from my 50 year catnap, but hunting for the jewel shards takes up a lot of time. But there's some other things too. I've been… doing some thinking lately… You probably want to know why, even if you know I'm not gonna say it out loud. I've spent so long thinking about how I was gonna use the jewel to become a full demon… But now, I'm not so sure anymore. People have hated me for as long as I can remember, human and demon, because I'm neither of them. I guess when I first heard about the jewel, part of me started thinking, maybe if I was a human or a demon, then I wouldn't have to run or hide anymore. I wanted to become a full-fledged demon because I wanted power and respect and all that good shit, but when I met Kikyo I decided to become human so that I could live with her. But then Naraku happened, and when I woke up I focused on becoming a full-fledged demon again, so I could get power and respect and all that… and so I wouldn't have to run and hide anymore. But things have changed now. I guess I've changed too. I never really thought I'd say this, but… now I've got friends. I guess you must be thrilled to hear that, even if it's not out loud. Don't get me wrong, they're all fucked up in one way or another, but that's not really a dealbreaker. Besides… they don't care about me being a half-demon. They accept me. That's really all I care about…'

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha where are you?"

Inuyasha glanced down the hill to see Kagome making her way towards him "Fuck, I guess that means I'm out of time." he glanced back towards the grave and placed a hand on the stone "I'll be sure to come back soon, I promise. And thanks… for everything." and so he made his way back down the hill towards Kagome.

A/N:

Yep, this oneshot is exactly what the summary says. This is a brief oneshot that focuses on Inuyasha visiting the grave of his mother, something I think we should've seen in the original series at some point. This isn't supposed to be something super in depth or anything, just a simple drabble of his thoughts on the group as a whole. I came up with this whole thing in less than an hour, and it came to me while I was working on another fic, so I figured I might as well expand on it and see where it took me. Let me know what you guys think, I'm eager to see your thoughts.
