Chapter 05: Worries

-----

Meanwhile :

Inuyasha sat next to the well, staring at it intently, thinking, 'Will she be okay? What if that Hoho guy asks her out again? Should I check on her? No. She can take care of herself in her time. Well, she has told me there can be dangers then, too, but different from this time. What does that mean? Her brother is always happy to see me. Souta thinks of me as his older brother. I have a younger brother I'm not even related to, and an older brother who can't stand me enough to admit he's my brother.

His thoughts drifted back to Kagome again. 'She's so nice to me. But why? I treat her like shit sometimes, and I don't even know why, but she still tries. And every time I try to be nice, she cries, and then she gets mad and 'sit's me. I just don't get her sometimes. But then again, It's possibly because she doesn't like being called 'bitch', I dunno.' "Feh!" 'Not my problem.' He paused, 'What the hell are you saying!? Of course it's my problem! She's got to help me find the shards! What if she gets hurt? She said it herself that there are dangers in her time.'

'If she gets hurt so help me I'll…' "Damn it!" he said leaping into the well.
