Chapter 8 Inuyasha's Choice

Once again Inuyasha sat in his tree. The only tree that had branches that had formed to his body perfectly.

"Inuyasha?" Shippo asked. Inuyasha turned his head towards the little fox that was perched the branch higher to him.

"Yes." Neutral. No anger or annoyance. Just A voice with no feeling.

"When...when do you think Kagome will come back." The young fox knew now why Kagome was hurt and why she had gone, and he was saddened by the fact that she hadn't taken him with her, But he had seen Inuyasha slowly go inside himself. He had seen the only demon father figure in his life right now spas with pain and then slowly relax. It was scary, and he wondered what love was that it could do this to a person. We knew he shouldn't have asked this question. He should have just went to Keade and asked her, but deep inside himself, Shippo was afraid that he left Inuyasha alone, he would leave him too, just like Songo, Myroku, Kagome and his father did. He was worried. Shippo cringed and waited for the yelling and pain to which he was so accustomed. But it never came. Instead he looked down to an Inuyasha who was looking at him like he just noticed he was there. He and Shippo hadn't talked hardly at all sense Kagome left, nearly a week ago. He had forgotten all about the kid. He was so caught up with himself that he had forgotten that Shippo must be sad and worried...too, And suddenly he realized he couldn't sit here moping anymore while Kagome and Kikyo were in so much pain...he would have to watch. He would have to watch the only two women he had ever loved try to kill each other, and he could do nothing about it, if only for Shippo, for Shippo...he had to look strong.

"I don't know." he said his face slowly rebuilding itself. "Why don't we go look for the stupid women?" Shippos face lit up and then fell. Shippo may have been young but he wasn't stupid.

"Are you sure Inuyasha? You're not just-"

"Lets go were wasting time!" at this he grabbed his arm, threw him on his shoulder, and shot off to find Kagome...I should have done this earlier. He thought. No one is there to help her!
