The next morning they started off again in their quest for the shards of the Shikon. Everyone was quiet, deeply in thought.

Inu Yasha, at the front as normal, seemed more quiet than the others. His brow was furrowed and his lips tightly pursed. 'Why was I so stupid to go after Kikyou while Kagome and I were together?' 'How did she become a full blood?' Thoughts swam through his head.

The thoughts frustrated him, he could find now answer and his head began to throb as if someone was hitting it from the inside with a hammer. He picked up a rock and flung it off into the sky. He had to find a way to deal with this. He couldn't go back to Kagome now, she already hated him for what he had done.

Sango walked beside Kagome, a silent conversation going between them it seemed. Like Inu Yasha, Sangos head swam, but it did not begin to throb nor did she get frustrated. If she wanted the answers Kagome would easily have told her. 'How could she love Sesshomaru?' The words went through her head, over and over, like a marquee. She sighed, though it was broken because of her trembling lips. She turned to Kagome. "Do you sense any shards?" She asked quietly.

Kagome shook her head gently. "I'm going to go get a drink." She said suddenly and turned off towards a bubbling stream. She placed her hands in the cold crystal water and drank some, splashing some over her head and dampening her hair.

Inu Yasha saw Kagome pull off and grabbed Sango's wrist. She started to jerk away and yell at him but she saw the pleading in his eyes so she let him take her off to the side.

"What happened with Kagome? Why is she a full blood?" He blurted out. "And why does she look like someone tried to murder her?" His voice sounded full of concer.

"She was running away from you, she fell and her head got cracked open and a rock drove its way through her stomach." She heard Inu Yasha gasp. "She was found by Sesshomaru and he gave her some blood to live because that girl he always carries around wanted Kagome to live. The youkai blood at all her human blood and she became a full youkai." She finished.

Inu Yasha's eyes became like ping-pong balls and he opened his mouth but no sound came out. His eyes began to mist over but he turned away quickly so Sango wouldn't see. "This is all my fault..." He whispered.

"Damn right it is." Sango muttered.

"I heard that!"

"Good!"

Inu Yasha turned up his nose, closing his eyes in the process and began to walk away when something hard got in the way. A dangerously low tree branch. He fell back with swirly things in his eyes.

Sango grabbed his ankle and began pulling an unconscious Inu Yasha back to the others.

Shippou was sitting on Miroku's shoulder and they appeared to be talking also, probably about the same things she had just told Inu Yasha. They looked up as Sango came up.

"What happened to him?" Miroku asked.

"He ran into a tree branch." She said dropping him.

Shippou giggled. "For once its Inu Yasha getting beat up and not me." He hopped off Miroku's shoulder and began poking him in the nose, until he woke up that is...

Wham! Shippou flew back into Miroku. "What was that for?" Shippou demanded rubbing his nose.

"For touching me!" He said growling. "And for looking at me and for breathing!"

Kagome came back out of the forest carrying a bucket of water. She looked around at everyone curiously. "Did I miss something?" She asked. Inu Yasha's stomach growled. She giggled and set the water on the ground. She opened her bag and took out a portable stove and a pot.

"What are you doing?" Inu Yasha asked.

"I make you ramen every morning don't I?" She said cheerfully.

Inu Yasha blushed, angering himself for doing so. She was going to make him ramen still? After what he did?

After a while it was finished. Kagome reached in and took out five bowls and chopsticks. She put ramen in each bowl and everyone began eating. Little did they know that Sesshomaru was sitting in the branches of a nearby tree watching them.

Kagome chanced to look up to the tree he was sitting in and waved. "Hi Sesshomaru! Do you want some ramen?" She asked him. He looked at her puzzled then jumped from the tree. "Why not." He muttered.

"No! He can't touch my ramen! Its mine! Sesshomaru touch my ramen and I'll have to kill you!" Inu Yasha said with his hand on the hilt on his sword.

Kagome punched Inu Yasha. "There's enough and if you want more I can cook more." She growled at him while taking out another bowl and chopsticks. She filled it with ramen and handed it to Sesshomaru.

Inu Yasha glared and practically swallowed it without chewing. Sesshomaru ate it more like someone brought up with manners. When it was all finished Kagome gathered everything up and went to wash it off. Sango hurriedly got up to go and help her.

Without Kagome there to keep them from fighting Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha shot Death Glares at eachother. Shippou sat behind Miroku, peaking over his shoulder, afraid something would happen.

When Kagome returned Sesshomaru stood up and said. "Thank you for the ramen Kagome. but I must be going now, before that halfling infests me with his fleas.

Inu Yasha got up to punch him but before he could, Sesshomaru disappeared.

Rabid: Sesshomaru is a little OOC here no? Lol. I think its cause he likes Kagome a little more now that she is a full blood. Mwa-
