AC: hey guys thanks for the reviews! gomen it took so long! well here it is!

we don't own inu

"Miroku?"Kagome swore it was him. It was a monk and he was dressed in the same clothing except it was black and white.

The monk looked at the lady next to his dearest wife.

"Sango dear, who is this?"Miroku made his way to Sango's side. As he made his way he noticed raven hair and the eyes were so familiar.

"Miroku! Its me! Kagome!"Kagome smiled. Miroku blinked a few times also.

"Kagome? Is that really you? Its been so long!"Miroku gaveKagome a small welcoming hug.

"Hai...a year,"Kagome's voice softened.

After reaquanting with one another in the small hut drinking some tea Kagome spoke to Miroku and Sango about Inuyasha.

"When you said Inuyasha wasn't himself when I told him to stay away from me what did you mean by that?"Kagome sipped a bit of her tea. Miroku looked at Sango and placed his tea down on the small table.

"Ano...he was very quiet and just stayed under that tree outside of this hut."Miroku pointed to the tree from the window,"He would just look at his surroundings and just stay quiet looking at the Shikon no Tama, everynight we saw him eat our leftover food and sometimes we heard him actually...crying until one night..."

Flashback

Sango and Miroku opened the outside of the hut a tiny bit to hear Inuyasha talking to himself.

"Fine...I'll stay out of your life forever. I don't need you or anybody, you wench!"Inuyasha clenched his fist with the Shikon no Tama still in his hand. He stood up slowly and looked at the night sky that was filled with small shining specks sparkling,"Even though...I love you...Kagome..."

End of Flashback

"And with those last words he just left us in the middle of the night."Miroku picked up his tea cup and started sipping it.

"Gomen nasai, Kagome..."Sango said putting her hand on Kagome's shoulder. Kagome just looked at her tea cup.

"Excuse me..."Kagome arose to her feet and walked outside.

She walked over to the tree where Inuyasha sat all those days. Her knees up to her chest while her arms were around her legs. She looked up at the sunset as tears came down.

"Was this all a mistake? Maybe...I should just leave and forget about this whole thing."Kagome looked down at the green grass below her and began to think of her conversation with her friends..

"You should confront him and tell him that you're really sorry!"

"But what if he doesn't accept my apologie?"

"Ano...you gave it your best shot. But you've been carrying that guilt on your shoulders for a year now! You need to drop the guilt and just tell him, Kagome!"

Kagome stood up and walked back into the hut collecting her things. Sango came in and walked towards Kagome.

"Kagome? What're you doing?"Sango put her hand on Kagome's shoulder.

"I need to go find Inuyasha."Kagome faced Sango.

"Iie. It's already sunset. Looking for Inuyasha in the dark won't make it any easier."Sango grabbed Kagome's bag out of her hands and placed it on the floor.

"Demo..."Kagome looked down.

"Sango's right, Kagome. It's not safe out there."Miroku walked in.

"At least stay for the night, Kagome. We have so much to catch up on."Sango rushed out of the room and grabbed some blankets for Kagome with Kilala by her side.

Miroku watched as Sango exited the room and smiled at his lovely wife. He then peered towards Kagome and noticed her saddened face.

"Kagome?"Miroku walked over to Kagome and sat next to her. "You still care for Inuyasha, don't you?" Kagome looked at Miroku as her eyes were glistening.

"H-hai.."she choked back tears."I feel awful for saying all those words to him.."Kagome wiped a tear that trickled down her cheek. Miroku comforted her with his hand on her shoulder. Kagome noticed that Miroku had changed a lot since she last saw him. He wasn't patting her butt.

"It'll be okay, Kagome. Tomorrow Sango and I will help you look for Inuyasha and possibly Shippo,"Miroku said softly. Kagome smiled slightly.

"Arigatou, Miroku."

Kagome sneeked out of bed very early the next morning around six. She grabbed her stuff and exited the hut.

"Gomen, Miroku, but I have to find Inuyasha alone." Kagome closed the door slowly and ran down the path on her way to a journey to find the one she loved.
