"You know she'll leave one day and not return to this era, and it won't have anything to do with me running her off, thought I most like will get blamed for it. Fate must be up there laughing at me, 'wake the dumb half-breed up and show him what he can't have, what won't remain'. Yeah I friends now but they are human they'll leave me; Shippo is to young to be call friend, he's more like one of those aggravating little brother I see in villages, than a friend, but he too will leave me and have a family of his own one day. Family the one thing I can never have, and never did have… after all who want a half-breed that will cause more problems for the family in the long run? Don't say Kagome, she knows very little about what would happen if…that were to happen, why do you think I keep pushing her away? She'll learn one day and then she'll find herself a human mate, live happily ever after like she should, and forget about me. Like the rest of the world, no one remembers a half-breed. You know I wonder why I woke up when I did, was it because she needed my help, or was it some god's sick idea of a joke? Who knows, maybe I'll find out the reason once I'm gone from this world. To bad you can't talk, after all you must know more than I do, I was pinned to you for fifty years, all well. You'll out live me you know, you'll be place in a shrine, some of your lands protected from harm, I've seen that much…five hundred years and you're still going strong, I wonder what I'll be doing in five hundred years…other than rotting in hell that is, you know I kind of forgotten about that part, kinda easy to do when there are others around you. Do you think they would let a half-breed be reincarnated? Fat chances right? But it is nice to think about, I wonder if any of those boys in Kagome's school is my reincarnation that is if I get one. You know none of them seem to think about me out living them, that's the one good thing about humans, the never think about tomorrow, they live for the now, they don't dwell on the fact that they will leave me, but I do, I was so lonely for so long that to have them now means more to me than I can say. I don't want to be without but I know soon they won't be here, feh even that little girl will out grow my brother one day. One day, some times I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, and I guess in a sense I am, and always have been." Inuyasha faded into silence as he looked up into the branches of the God Tree. He never noticed the small figure walking way from it's hiding spot below him, nor the morn full look that figure gave to him as it left.
