Chapter 16

"How could I have not seen that when I wished! I'm so stupid!" InuYasha thought to himself, still sitting up in his tree sulking. He could still see Kagome and their friends all talking and laughing. He had been thinking to himself for quite a while now, and it had grown dark. Suddenly, he jumped, hearing someone talking up to him. He looked down to see Kagome. "Dinner's ready if your hungry." She said standing there, knowing InuYasha would jump down and rush towards the food; but he never did. He did jump down, but he simply walked off towards the hut sulkily.

"What's wrong with him?" Kagome thought to herself, and following him back to the hut. When they got there, they both got their dinner and settled down on the floor. Kagome, still seeing something was on InuYasha's mind, turned to him and asked, "InuYasha? What's wrong?"

He turned to her, and seeing her concerned face, he looked away and said, "Nothing." They both finished their dinner and didn't speak to each other after that, although everyone else continued to chatter on. InuYasha got up and headed back outside, where he went under a tree and sat down in his sleeping position, though Kagome could tell when everyone else had gone to sleep inside the hut, that InuYasha was not asleep.

Kagome slowly crept out of her sleeping bag and walked out the hut, having a little difficulty getting out of her bag when Shippo was sleeping on it also. Finally, when she got out of the hut, she walked in the shadows and over to InuYasha. She quietly sat down next to him, InuYasha still oblivious of her presence.

InuYasha's ears perked up when he heard a rustling near the hut, and he opened his eyes but saw nothing. He took a short look around and closed his eyes again, keeping his ears perked up in case of more rustling. Suddenly, he felt something on his ears and he looked up in alarm. There, he saw Kagome, rubbing his ears again. "Your ears are doing a dance up here." She said quietly. "Apparently, she had snuck out, because she's being awfully quiet." He thought to himself. Kagome sat down next to him.

They both sat in silence until finally Kagome turned to InuYasha and said, "Look, I know you have something on your mind; now tell me!" she sounded very persistent, and obviously planned on staying there until he told her what was wrong. Of course, Inuyasha was also persistent not to tell.

"Nothing is on my mind." He said, crossing his arms, showing he was not going to tell her.

She sat thinking, until finally she replied, "I hope you're not mad I haven't fulfilled your wish yet. I must seem awfully rude." She hung her head in shame, expecting him to agree in a second.

InuYasha sat there, not sure of what to say. Finally, he decided. "I don't care if I never get my wish granted…Kagome shouldn't die just because of me." He thought to himself. Just when he was about to say something, Kagome spoke up first, "I'm sorry. I'll grant your wish now. InuYasha, I-" but before she could finish, InuYasha smacked his hand over her mouth and said to her, "Don't ever grant my wish! Never!" he took his hand off her mouth and was able to stutter out a small "b-but…" before Inuyasha interrupted again, "No! Just don't do it! Got it? Don't ever grant my wish….please." he lowered his head and turned around, but Kagome saw how pleading his eyes looked.

"He….really doesn't want me to grant it! But…why? This is all too confusing." Kagome thought to herself. She knew she wouldn't be able to get another word from him so she got up and went back to the hut.
