Hi every1!
I didn't put a disclaimer in the last chapter, sorry! (I secretly did it on purpose. Muhahahahahahahahahahahahaha ^_^)
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha....man, you guys really know how to spoil a girl's fun! *Pouts*

"I refuse to let anyone hurt me like that again...." she whispered as she drifted off to sleep.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ NOW!!!! Chapter 4! ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Sakura winced as the sun shot light into her eyes. She rolled over, but it was too late she was already fully awake. The female sighed as she sat up and started to watch the sun rise slowly as she stroked the sleeping Shiro. Her golden dog ears twitched as she heard Inuyasha wake up and head her way. The branch beside her shook as Inuyasha landed.
"Hey, bro!" whisper Sakura. Inuyasha just replied with his famous 'feh' and sat down. They watched as the golden orb floated higher into the sky. Soon the world started to wake. The birds started to chirp and the bugs lazily flew around. The wind blew swiftly pushing the white fluffy clouds along.
"Where to, today?" Sakura asked.
"Back to Keade's (sp?) village." He replied and she nodded. Stopping herself from petting the lightly snoring kitsune, Sakura yawn and stretched her arms.
"The others will be up soon. We better get back or we'll miss breakfast." Inuyasha informed her before leaping off back to the campsite. Sakura watched his retreating form before picking up the little boy in her arms.
"Wake up, Shiro." She whispered. "Come on, it's time to wake up, sweetie." (I just had to write it. CUTE!) The fox child stretched his small fists and opened sleepy eyes.
"Ohayo, Mama!" he said with a yawn and climbed up to her shoulder. Sakura smiled and started back to the others. (It's so cute. If anyone doesn't know Ohayo means good morning.)
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
When Sakura & Shiro finally came to the campsite, everyone was already very busy. Sango & Kagome were cooking breakfast. Miroku and Inuyasha were deciding on the fastest way to Keade's village. And Shippo was just waking up. Sakura let Shiro go play with Shippo and Kirara while she sat down with the other girls.
"Ohayo, Sakura!" the women said to her.
"Ohayo," She replied, "what's for breakfast?"
"Pancakes," Kagome said, "I'm kind of sick and tired of having ramen all the time." Sango nodded. After Miroku won the argument (much to Inuyasha's demise) he went up to the girls, planning to do what he usually does, but fate really doesn't like Miroku and decided to ruin his fun. He only walked a few inches before tripping over a root. Miroku cursed under his breath, while Inuyasha fell out of his tree because he was laughing so hard. The girl's roll their eyes and mutter 'men'.
The kitsunes came back with flowers in their hands just when the pancakes were being passed out. They quickly gave the women the flowers and exchange for the food. After a few bites Sakura really wasn't hungry. She liked the food, but she just didn't feel like eating.
"I'm going for a walk." Sakura said dryly.
"But you barley eat your breakfast? Aren't you hungry?"
"No..." Sakura replied to whoever had spoken and started to disappear into the forest.
"What was that all about?" asked Miroku. The others shrugged their shoulders and watched worriedly to where Sakura had left.
Sakura walked slowly past the trees watching the clouds roll by. *Sigh* 'What's wrong with me?' Sakura thought. 'I was fine a few days ago...why do I feel so depressed now?' Sakura knew, but she didn't want to admit it. She wanted to be ok. NO! She was ok. *Sigh* "It happened so long ago. I'm not over it, am I?" she asked herself. She put a hand over her heart. "My heart is still filled with so much pain." Suddenly she fell to her knees. Painful tears streamed down her face and her body shook.
"Why?" Sakura coked out. "Why?"
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
When Sakura came back to the others she still had tear stain on her cheeks and her eyes were slightly red and puffy. She had a look on that told the others not to ask questions as of yet. When everything was packed they head off.
The sun beated down on the eight travelers. They had been walking for about two hours and no one seem to say much. Everyone was tired, hot, and hungry. Luckily the village was coming into view. 'Why can't I forget my past?' Sakura asked herself. 'Because Inuyasha was part of your past. Now that you two found each other everything you tried to hide from yourself is coming back.' A little voice answered her. 'That and because you won't let the past go. You're forcing yourself not to totally forget while still hiding it. You don't want the past to repeat it's self.' The voice added. Sakura was about to interrupt when it went on. 'You won't let it go. Your were able to forget, but it was always there, locked away. You have to move on...don't let what happened back then keep you from doing anything these days.' said the voice. Sakura smiled
"Yeah, I just won't let it get in the way. I'll just move on...but is it that easy?" Sakura said aloud.
"What was that?" Sakura looked up to see the whole group looking at her.
*Smile* "Nothing!" she replied. That's when she looked around. "Is this is Keade's village?" she asked. The others nodded. She was so wrapped up in her own thoughts she didn't even notice they have arrived to their destination.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
After Keade meet the new members of the group, had a nice swim, and eat dinner, the group started off to bed. Sakura & Shiro followed Inuyasha out into Inuyasha's forest. Just at the edge of the forest he stopped and faced her with a serious look on his face.
"Are you ok? I mean you came back looking like you cried your eyes out." Inuyasha said concerned.
Sakura remember Sango and Kagome asking the same thing when they went swimming. Of course she couldn't tell them why...not yet that is. She just wasn't ready to tell them yet. "I'm fine Inuyasha, really I am." She said and quickly left with Shiro before Inuyasha could say anything else.
She jumped into a tree and looked at her adopted child. "I'm okay, really." She said when she saw his concerned face. Shiro knew she was lying, but he wasn't going to push her into telling him anything. He climbed up to her shoulder and started to hum and stroke Sakura's hair. At first she was surprised because this is what she usually did this to him, but she soon relaxed. After about three minutes she took him from her shoulder (he fell asleep) and rocked him back and forth in her arms while she hummed. Soon she too was asleep.

Okay, that's chapter 4. I won't be updating soon because I'm going on vacation, but I will be back. Plz review.
