Inuyasha drew nearer to the village. He had decided to just stop by anyways, even if he did get kicked out again. He could see the village not to far away now.
'How would I explain this to the group? What could I say?' Inuyasha thought as he came into the village. Kaede's hut sat in front of him. Sango stepped out of the hut and stood in front of Inuyasha.
"I can see I'm still not welcome" Inuyasha spoke, he was about to leave but was stopped.
"No, wait Inuyasha, we need to talk to you" Sango spoke. Inuyasha turned back around.
"About what?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku came out of the hut and joined Sango.
"About how were going to find Kagome" Miroku spoke. Inuyasha looked at Miroku.
"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked.
"Kilala followed you in the forest, she also saw that Kagome had left with Sesshomaru" Sango said. Inuyasha glared at Kilala who now stood at Sango's feet.
"Oh, so now I have a spy following me around?" Inuyasha said hastily. Kilala growled and jumped into Sango's arms.
"No. I sent her to follow you because we don't trust you" Sango replied. Inuyasha looked away, not blaming her.
"But we do now, you did go to apologise to her, but she was too hurt to listen" Miroku added. Inuyasha looked up at Sango and Miroku.
"You…you still trust me?" Inuyasha asked shocked, they nodded.
"Inuyasha, if you don't mind, can I talk to you alone in the forest?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha nodded and him and Miroku walked into the forest. Sango watched them leave, then went back inside the hut.
…………………………………….
Inuyasha and Miroku continued to walk until they reached the hot spring that Kagome and Sango use. Miroku then sat on the ground, Inuyasha sat beside him.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" Inuyasha asked.
"Well, you and Lady Kagome of course" Miroku replied, Inuyasha scowled at Miroku.
"There's nothing to talk about under that category"
"Oh I believe there is" Miroku grinned.
"Oh yeah, like what?"
"Well for one, Sango said that Kilala told her that you looked pretty upset when Kagome left with Sesshomaru. Why was that?" Miroku said. Inuyasha looked down at the ground.
"I don't know why I felt that way, it felt like my heart was ripped out and danced on" Inuyasha replied solemnly.
"I can understand why, because you felt hurt because she left"
"But WHY?"
"Because you have feeling for Lady Kagome"
Inuyasha froze. Was that really it? Miroku waved his hand across Inuyasha's face to try to get his attention
"Hello? Anyone home?" Miroku said. Inuyasha came out of his trance.
"What monk?" Inuyasha yelled back. Miroku grinned.
"Fine then, don't tell me I can only guess" Miroku said.
Inuyasha blushed and Miroku knew, 'Must he be so stubborn and hold everything in all the time?'
"You know, you should tell Kagome how you feel" Miroku said, Inuyasha looked down, distressed.
"I've tried that, but she wouldn't listen, she just yells at me" Inuyasha muttered.
"Ahh well Inuyasha, it WAS your fault Kagome left, she thought you would say something that would hurt her worse" Miroku said, Inuyasha nodded.
"Well? What should I do?" 'Even though he would be the last person to talk to about this' Inuyasha thought.
"Well give her time and space, women always need that. She'll come back," Miroku said as he got up, "Now lets head back for dinner, well talk about this after" then Miroku left. Inuyasha got up and stretched and saw the sun setting on the horizon.
'I hope you come back soon Kagome', he then walked back to the village.

Sango came out of the hut, wondering where the boys were. She saw Miroku come out of the forest. Miroku approached Sango.
"My dear Sango, is dinner ready" Miroku asked, Sango blushed.
"Don't even think about it, pervert" Sango said as the blush faded and she slapped his hand away from her backside, "Did Inuyasha decide to run off?"
"No, cause like I guessed, he's in love with Lady Kagome" Miroku said dreamily, Sango's mouth dropped.
"He's…. WHAT!" Sango said shocked. Miroku scratched the back of his neck.
"Well, he didn't exactly say it word for word, but I could tell, it was obvious"
"Oh, well what's he going to do?"
"Beats me, I told him to give her space, cause when he did go back to tell her how he felt, he got sat thoroughly for trying"
"Yeah, that's a good idea".
Kaede stepped out of the hut and joined Miroku and Sango.
"Dinner is ready" Kaede said, she then went back inside. Sango faced Miroku.
"Should we wait for Inuyasha?" She asked Miroku. He shook his head.
"I don't think so, I think he'll come back when he's hungry, he needs some time to think", Sango nodded the followed Miroku into the hut.
…………………………………………………..
Inuyasha sat in a tree just outside Kaede's hut, he had heard Sango's and Miroku's whole conversation.
'Feh, stupid monk, I should have known better, but its not like he lied about anything' Inuyasha admitted to himself. He gave in a while ago, he DID love Kagome, he was just too blind to see it, 'But its too late now, I've pushed her away for good this time' Inuyasha thought sadly. He could no longer pick up Kagome's scent. He sighed and jumped down from the tree. His stomach growled.
'Now don't screw this up, just keep your mouth shut, no comment' Inuyasha thought, the walked into the hut.
Miroku, Kaede, Sango, Shippo and Kilala sat on the floor eating.
"We thought you would join us, here" Sango said pulling out another bowl for Inuyasha. She smiled at him and directed to an open space for him to sit beside her. Inuyasha nodded and sat beside her and took the bowl and chopsticks.
"Thank you, Sango" He replied and started to eat with everyone else. Everyone remained silent while they ate for quite some time. Shippo glared at Inuyasha.
"Why is he here?" Shippo spoke angrily, everyone looked at Shippo and Inuyasha looked at the floor.
"Shippo!" Sango hissed, but Shippo didn't listen.
"You sent Kagome away! You hurt her! You just has to go and shoot your big fat mouth off at her!" Shippo yelled at Inuyasha. Inuyasha put his empty bowl on the ground. Every one watched him, expecting him to blow, but he just stood up.
"Your right Shippo, thank you for dinner Kaede" Inuyasha spoke then left the hut. Every one sat in shock; the only one who moved was Miroku who slapped Shippo square over the head.
"HEY!" Shippo whined.
"Inuyasha fells bad as it is, we need to cut him some slack" Sango said
"SLACK! He sent Kagome AWAY and were going to cut him some slack!" Shippo yelled.
"No, cause he tried to go back to apologize, and she had left with Sesshomaru already, just leave him alone Shippo" Miroku muttered as the group continued to finish their meal.
