'The shadow of tomorrow, another restless day.' Kagome thinks, staring out over the horizon. 'Another day I cannot reveal my feelings. Another day I spend, getting chased.' she thought, being carryed on Inu-Yasha's back. She ran her fingers through his silver, shining hair, hoping he wouldn't feel it. But he did. And he did not care. He loved Kagome, and nothing could change his mind about that. He just couldn't find the words to tell her those feelings. He kept them to himself, and hoped to tell her, one day or another. But he couldn't seem to get away from Miroku Shippou and Sango. It was like every other time. Everytime he tried to begin, either one of them would be there, or Kagome would break in. But he knew, that in his heart, he would love her, no matter if he told her or not. He then too, gazed over the horizon. The sun was just setting, but they never stopped earlier than they should. So, they kept moving. All of them had wanted to stop to look at the beautiful sunset, but have never had the time.

The sun soon went down, and they stopped, as usual, under a tree. Kagome walked over to one she thought looked nice, and sat there. A voice came from above. "Looks like we had the same idea, huh?" Inu-Yasha said, laying on a branch overhead. "Heheh...yeah. You don't mind, do you?" she asked, staring up at him. "Of course not. Matter of fact, I'll come down there with you." he said, jumping off of the branch. "Alright!" she said, grinning. Before she knew it, she was resting her head on his shoulder, and he was blushing. They soon found their diffrent paths to sleep.

When she woke up that morning, she was still resting her head on his shoulder, she opened her eyes and realized what she was doing, she smiled, and stepped up. Her hands streched over her head, as she yawned. Inu-Yasha woke up behind her, and smiled too. "Uh...Kagom--" Miroku came stepping over. 'DAMNIT!' he thought, staring at Miroku. "Lets get going." he said, putting his hand on Kagome's shoulder. SMACK! The next thing he knew, he had a hand print on his face, from Inu-Yasha. "Don't touch her." he said, in a deep growling voice. He slid her up onto his back, and they saw Sango coming over with Shippou. "Let us get going." she said, as they stepped off.

"What's that?" Inu-Yasha said, sniffing into the air. "It smells a bit new...I cannot figure out what it is." he said, putting Kagome on the ground. "We'll go check it out. Come on Miroku," he said, grabbing his arm. They stepped into the the deep forest, and looked around everywhere. A bright light flashed dimly in front of them, and it looked like it was from a distance. "Come on, lets go get them." Miroku said, stepping back, grabbing Inu-Yasha's arm.

He then again sat Kagome on his back, and ran off with Miroku, Sango, and Shippou at his side. 'What is this light? Is it a sign? Is it something that will hurt us? Is it...Naraku? Kikyou? Someone else?' Inu-Yasha thought, running more into the distance.
