THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REVIEWS!

Inuyasha sat by his favorite tree, sulking. When he heard the sound of someone approaching, he half-hoped that it would be Kagome. He had sworn to himself that if Kagome didn't come back, then he wouldn't go get her.

"Inuyasha!" the small voice belonged to Shippo. "Go get Kagome back!"

"Keh!" Inuyasha looked evilly at Shippo. "I said I wouldn't and I won't...she can stay in her stupid era for all I care!"

Shippo puffed himself up to try and look scary. "You've never cared before! Why are you so pissed off about this?"

Inuyasha looked over at Shippo like he didn't have a care in the wolrd, when deep inside, he was all jumbled up and confused. Why did he care so much? He was sick of Kagome abusing her stupid powers over him. Ok, so maybe he did deserve a couple of those sits but still...he was annoyed because she failed to ever give him a chance to explain himself. That wretch was more trouble than she was worth!

"Shut up." Inuyasha ended the conversation by knocking the little kitsune out.


Kagome walked in circles, biting her nails. She was done crying, now it was time to think this through. She knew by the look in his eyes that Inuyasha was telling the truth. He wouldn't come get her back. He woudln't care if she ever returned. That thought had her wiping her face of tears. A part of her told her that he would come, like a knight in shining armor to rescue her. That part was a dellusion.

"Who am I kidding?" Kagome shouted to the heavens. "He'll never come!"

"Uh, sis? Who are you talking to?" Souta was sucking on a lollypop and appeared out of nowhere. Kagome had the sudden urge to pour out everything in her heart. Poor 'ol Souta was forced to listen to his sister as she blabbered on and on.

When she was done, Kagome said, "What do I do Souta? He hates me!"

Souta's eyes were huge and he had no idea what to say. The first thing that popped up in his head was to tell her to just return and apologize. But that wouldn't work because Inuyasha had said he woudln't care if she ever came back. Then, he came up with a good idea.

"Talk to your other two friends..maybe they can help you." Souta said smartly.

"Sango-chan and Miroku?" Kagome thought about this for a minute. It might just work!

I know this is another short chapter, but my goal is to update each week because I know how frustrating it is to wait for an author to update! Thanks again Kagomespup, RepentlessWind, and V.X.O!
