Capricorn Kiss: Hey, I'm putting up a new story called 'The Truth' today! ^_~ Please take the time to read it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kagome-sama, where are you going?"

"To the well."

"That old, dried-up one? Why?"

"To go home."

"Whatta-whatta? You live in a well?"

"Well, not exactly..."

Mikuro and Kagome walked, side by side, towards the Bone Eaters Well. Kagome attempted to explain about it, but Mikuro was clueless.

"So... why are you going home, anyway?" Mikuro asked, kicking a rock as she walked.

"I need some band-aids and medicine to bring back to this era." Kagome replied.

When Kagome dissapeared into the well, Mikuro was amazed. She stuck her head inside, balancing on the side of the well with her stomach, her feet not touching the ground. "Kaaaaaaaaaaagooooooooooooooooomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamaaaaaaaaaaa?" She called.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamaaaaaaaaaaaaa." the well echoed back.

Blinking, Mikuro leaned into the well again. "Mikuro!" she yelled.

"Ekuro!" it echoed.

Mikuro giggled, impressed by this new game. The next fifteen minutes, Mikuro spent calling names:

"InuYasha!" "Sango!" "Miroku!" "Myoga!"

And the well echoed back:

"Asha!" "Ango!" "Eroku!" "Oga!"

"Mikuro!" A voice came from behind.

Mikuro looked over her shoulder to see InuYasha staring at her.

"Hi, InuYasha-sama!" Mikuro yelled.

"Mikuro, you're going to fall in." InuYasha pointed out.

Mikuro had almost tilted in a few times, so she knew it was possible. Carefully and slowly climbing off the side, Mikuro hopped to InuYasha.

It was getting dark as Mikuro and InuYasha walked back to camp.

"Is Kagome-sama going to come back?" Mikuro asked, concerned.

"She always does." InuYasha replied, stiffly.

"What would you do if she didn't?" Mikuro asked, blinking her large dark blue eyes up at him.

He didn't answer.

"InuYasha-sama!" Mikuro sang, snapping her fingers.

"I don't know." He finally answered.

"Would you miss her?" Mikuro asked again.

T.T "You ask too many questions." InuYasha said, looking down at her.

"It's OK if you say yes." Mikuro told him, smiling. "I don't like to admit that I miss my Daddy, even when he's just a tree away. Whenever he's out of my sight, I miss him." ^^

As odd as that sounded to him, InuYasha kind of knew how she felt. He felt that way about his mother, and Kagome.

"I guess I would miss her." He answered, after a long silence.

"We all would." Mikuro replied, silently.

As they arrived at camp, an akward silence fell over Mikuro and InuYasha.

"InuYasha-sama?"

"Yes?"

"Can I call you 'Puppy'?
