Soon morning came and InuYasha woke up to see that he was resting in his old room. He should got up and walked out of the room. He knew he best be on his way, knowing Kagome she was most likely worried about him.

He walked into the dinning room to see Rin sitting there, eating.

" Good morning InuYasha," said Rin.

" I see my brother thought you how to sit at a dinning room," said InuYasha taking a seat beside her.

" Along other things,"

Rin ate her meal and slowly got up.

" My father left this morning," said Rin as she clear the table.

" You seem unhappy," said InuYasha.

" Shippo been missing for over a year and none even told me, would you be upset" asked Rin.

That when InuYasha saw it, the look of fire in her eyes when she said that. Could she have feelings for Shippo? InuYasha watched as Jaken walked in and Rin stepped out looking at him with anger but at the same time sadness.

Jaken watched Rin go and took a seat. He slowly began to eat his meal and InuYasha got up.

" What happen to the fox demon?" asked Jaken.

" Why do you care?" asked InuYasha.

" I don't!"

" Then why do you want to know?"

" Because have you looked at Rin. Sesshomaru found out this morning because of his troops that are out looking for Naraku overheard the monk and slayer talking about it. Rin overheard what was said and began to cry. Sesshomaru is going out to see if a village of foxes knows anything," stated Jaken.

" He was out playing and I was suppose to be watching him, but I fell to sleep and when I woke up he was gone," said InuYasha.

InuYasha would never say it but Shippo was like a little brother to him or a son somewhere between the two. He stood up and began to walk away.

" InuYasha!" yelled Jaken.

" What?" asked InuYasha getting mad about people always stopping him.

" If you get any information on the fox demon please tell me or mi lord. Rin... let's just say seeing her like this isn't much fun," stated Jaken who really was worried about Rin.

InuYasha nodded and walked off. He didn't know what he was going to do but finding Shippo and Naraku was at the top of his list.

InuYasha travel for hours and soon came to the edge of the forest where the bone-eater well was. He stood there and looked at the tree. This tree was what he called a curse. It remained him of too much pain. He continue on his way and saw Kagome sitting by the well.

" Please tell me you have not been sitting for me here since I left," said InuYasha.

" Mostly," said Kagome getting up.

" Your so stupid, I told you it would be a while till I got back," said InuYasha.

" I know," said Kagome.

" Then why did you wait for me here?"

" Because, I like to thing of this well as a symbol to us."

" What?"

" You are from this time remain I am from 500 years from today. This well allows you and me to pass to each other time," said Kagome.

InuYasha signed, Kagome was a lot more confusing then Kikyou but Kikyou had asked him to become human meanwhile Kagome like him as he was. He was open to her and told her a lot about him that he didn't tell anyone including Sesshomaru who raised him.

So he and Kagome headed back towards the village. InuYasha wonder where Shippo was and if he was ok.

Meanwhile as InuYasha was thinking that, deep in the mountains of the east Masaharu had return.

" You better let me out!" screamed a voice that was scared but at the same time also trying to be brave.

" Aww... yes. The young fox!" said Masaharu.

With that a light was shined towards the voice and there sat a fox demon that was none other then Shippo. Shippo was sitting there. His face was dirty, her eyes looked like he hadn't slept at all. His clothes were old and almost useless. He was a mess and he looked like he would die any minute.

Masaharu knew that in order for his plan to work he needed the fox well. He had found out that Rin had fallen into a small cruse with this demon, but why he was unsure.

Soon Masaharu walked away and put two apples in the cage. Shippo slowly walked over, after checking to make sure that they were ok, he began to eat them. That when his mind began to wonders. He always would think of his friends. He wonder what was going on with Songo, Miroku, InuYasha and Kagome. But most of all he was worried about Rin. He remember the time that he and her dance the night away.

Flashback

It was only a few months since Rin return after saving her father from the eastern lands. They began to travel together, mostly due to Kagome and Rin bond that Sesshomaru and InuYasha could stand being near one another.

It was the night of the new moon when Rin awoke to see Shippo running out to the center of the field.

" Shippo, what are you doing?" asked Rin.

" I came out to looked at the stars," said Shippo.

" And back at the camp wasn't good because?" asked Rin.

" This is the field where my dad was killed," said Shippo.

Rin fell to the ground and knew the pain of losing someone. She now knew that she was given a second chance at a father and this time she wasn't going to mess it up.

Shippo walked over and sat down beside her.

The night passed on and Shippo and Rin began talking about their lives. The next thing they know they were dancing in the glow from the stars.

Little did the two of them know but Kagome and Sesshomaru was watching this.

" I really like you Shippo," said Rin.

" Ummm... well me too," said Shippo.

As the night grew young they both got up and started to walked away.

" Umm... Rin," said Shippo.

" Yes," said Rin looking back at him.

" I was wondering, if you... I mean if I... I mean..." started Shippo.

The next thing anyone knew Rin lightly kissed Shippo on the cheek and ran off to head back to camp.

End of flashback

Shippo placed his hand where Rin had kissed him and wonder was she as worried about him and he was her.
