Hey everyone glad to see you're reading this! Poor Inu Yasha- don't you feel so sorry for him? He always tries so hard around Kagome. well eventually the guy will get the girl, don't worry :-D send reviews! I don't know if you're liking this if you don't review!

Inu Yasha: maybe they don't like your story yet, because all you've done so far is make fun of me! Maybe they want me to be a big hero, not a hopeless, love bound puppy! Ever think of that?

Well okay, here I'll write a little more, and we'll see how Inu Yasha handles Kagome.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome walked out of the well house and to her bedroom. Once there she dropped her backpack on the floor and flopped down in her chair, gazing out the window sadly. Why did she wish Inu Yasha had stayed? He never did, never just sat quietly holding her hand, or just enjoyed her company- no, he always had to make her feel bad, to shove her off and ignore her! Well fine! He could find the other shards without her! See if she cared!

Souta walked past her room, gazing in with loneliness written across his face as he went by- then he did a double take, peeking his head back inside her room.

'Kagome!!!' he cried happily, rushing up to her and leaping into her lap. He threw his little arms around her, and she couldn't help but remember how Inu Yasha had done the same, only a few minutes before. She couldn't help but compare the two- Inu Yasha's strong, muscular arms grasping her up, embracing her- Souta's small, child arms, clasped around her neck- Inu Yasha's beautiful eyes, with starry depths extending forever- Souta's little brown eyes, dancing with baby-joy. She smiled sadly at him, hugging gently, and looking out over his shoulder into the darkening window.

'Kagome! I thought you went back! Why didn't you go see Inu Yasha? Oh I'm so glad you stayed!' Souta said happily. She ruffled his hair. He looked into her eyes, noticing that she wasn't really paying attention to here and now- her thoughts were in another age, years in the past.

'Kagome? Hullo? Is something wrong, Kagome?' he asked hesitantly, waving his small hand in front of her nose. She blinked, and focused on him.

'Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry Souta. No, everything's fine. I'm not going back after all- not unless Inu Yasha comes and gets me himself. I'm just tired of his tricks, that's all.'

'Okay, if you're sure, Kagome. Come on, dinner's ready! Lets go eat!' with that Souta bounded off her knees and ran for the door, pounding down the steps to the kitchen. She looked out the window once more, then shook herself, stood, and went down to dinner.
