Shippou stretched out in the now empty sleeping bag and yawned. 'I wonder if Kylinah is awake yet.' the little kitsune thought to himself as he crawled out of the bag. He looked out and saw a small fire with everyone around it except Inuyasha. He got up and stretched again before straightening out his clothes and fur. He walked over to the group and flopped down in Kagome's lap, "Hi Kagome, what's for breakfast?" he asked happily.

"Ramen.." she replied. Just then Inuyasha jumped out of the tree where he had been all night, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and obviously he hadn't slept last night.

"Ramen huh?" Inuyasha sat down, pointedly on the opposite side of the fire from Kylinah who was on the right side of Kagome. Inuyasha turned to his left, to Sango, then to his right, to Miroku, before scratching behind his ear, "so pass me some would ya?" he said looking at Kagome which replied with looking away, to Miroku on her left.

"No.."

"Why not?!"

"Because you're a jerk, you're absolutely evil to your sister."

"She ain't my sister.."

"Oh I _ain't_?" she replied pointing out his bad grammar and a bit peeved that he would say they weren't related.

"Just like Sesshoumaru _ain't_ my brother either!" he yelled, purposefully using bad grammar.

"Kagome.make them stop fighting please." Shippou whined softly from her lap, Kagome promptly wrapped her arms around the little fox demon, "Ok Shippou, I'll make them stop." She said softly.

"Inuyasha!!" she glared at him dangerously and he shut up, not wanting to be sat, "Now you listen to me, you be nice to her, she has yet to do anything to you that would give me a reason that you wouldn't like her. You're being unreasonable!"

"I just don't like her.she's to..small, she's weak, I don't want to have to protect another person." he said, his voice almost normal but slightly raised.

"I can take care of myself Inuyasha, you don't have to worry about protecting me at all." Kylinah replied snobbishly.

"Who said I was worrying, I don't want Kagome to sit me when I don't protect you and you die."

Kylinah growled before turning and jumping into a nearby tree, obviously hurt by his words.

"INUYASHA!" everyone screamed collectively, "Sit!" and he face planted right into the ground.

"Ow! what'd I do?!?"

"You hurt her feelings! Sesshoumaru, who is her real full blooded brother wants nothing to do with her, her father and mother are both dead, and here you are her only family, not wanting anything to with her either!" Kagome yelled at him.

"She's right ya know, she never knew her father, mother, or either of her brothers and here she has found one and wants to be a family and he hates her for no reason at all." Miroku stated.

"For once you actually said something right.." Sango said, still eating her ramen, not really phased by the whole incident.

Shippou had disappeared up into the tree with Kylinah while the others were discussing what had just happened. He walked along the branch right below the one she was in, "Hey, are you alright?"

"Do I look alright to you Pup?" she asked sarcastically, using the name she had taken to calling him, making it a point that he was young and meant nothing to her.

"I'm not a pup! Stop calling me that." he said softly, "I was just worried."

"Why were you worried about me? I can take care of myself, just like I said down there.."

"No you can't, if you could then you wouldn't want to be with Inuyasha."

"He's my brother and I just want a family, that's all, that doesn't mean that I can't take care of myself, I've taken care of myself for the past 50 years."

"Ah, but you're lonely."

"I am not."

"You are too!" he said smiling. He jumped up to the branch she was in and sat down next to her, "You want a brother right? Well, Inuyasha is like my brother, you just have to know how he is, you aren't used to him yet, you'll get there though. He likes you I'm sure, or he wouldn't be worried about protecting you."

"He's not, remember? He just doesn't want Kagome to say sit."

"Aw, that's just a cover up. He likes you, I'm sure of it, just wait, you be nice to him and you'll see."

"Be nice? What do you consider nice?"

"umm, don't yell at him..and.try not to get in his way."

"I'll try." Kylinah smiled and jumped down to the next branch, "Thanx.Shippou" she jumped down to the ground.

Shippou sighed and smiled, "At least she didn't call me 'Pup' again" he laughed softly as he jumped down to the ground and went over to sit in Kagome's lap, everyone was quiet while they finished breakfast.
