OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Inuyasha headed his way slowly back to the village, letting the wind blow through his silver hair. He was confused, having the feelings that something wasn't right and that it was best to stay at bay. He shook it off, ignoring his bad feelings and kept on walking.

He was close now to the village. The tree, the god tree, was next to him. He stopped and stared at the high branches, huffing. This tree held him for 200 years, neither dead nor alive, but locked in a ever-lasting sleep. The tree haunted his thoughts, knowing that he was in no way able to contact humanity.

But this tree, he had thought it was awful. Somehow it changed. This tree gave him Kagome. Kagome had unlocked him two years ago from here, giving him once again freedom. Kagome, the one girl that now stood at his side, nether afraid of his demon while others are, trying her best to protect him during his human nights, and the one girl who liked him for the way he was. A han'yo.

He made a small smile, closing his eyes. He raised an eyebrow, sniffing the air. How long had he been away? Her scent lingered in the air barely but it was there. He opened his eyes again. Letting a sigh out, he walked away from the tree, heading back to the village. First he'll be different now. Instead of using force and make her pissed off, get the facts first from the people he'll know that should know. Why had Kagome left?

Kagome turned the knobs off, stopping the water from flowing. The hot water seem inviting, calling her. She stripped down, getting into the tub with nothing on. She made a happy sound, letting the water touch her shoulders. She stretched her legs out, the water dripping off of the skin. She grabbed the washcloth beside her and began to wash herself clean.

Her hair was wet from the shoulder down, the top still dried. She washed herself with the bar soap, the suds floating on top of the water. When she was down, she dunk her head down, making the rest of her hair wet. She slowly poured shampoo into her palms, scrubbing it into her hair. She dunked again.

Why does he do this to me? Herself asking a question.

Because he doesn't love you. Her inner voice replied.

But I thought all this time he would.

Bah! If he did, would he still be with that dead clay pot?

She is his first love.

It doesn't matter. She is still dead.

You're cruel.

But I am your inner voice. I am supposed to be since your heart can't be.

Very funny.

Am I laughing? Anyway, if he does love you…

I get it now. How long should I stay? Do I wait for him to get me?

Why? It proves that he still needs you to search for the shards.

It still allows me to know that I am needed. At least by him. I mean, Kikyo can see them.

Do you always want to feel used, needed for something that is more important then you in his eyes? Or do you want to feel needed from his heart, needed for love?

But…

You can wait, or you can go back on your own.

I'll…wait till he comes.

Feh, fine.

Now you're like Inuyasha.

Duh. Your inner self has updated because of him.

…huh?

You acted like him inside…because you want him.

Kagome sighed, dunking again. She came to the surface and got out, reaching for the towel she had folded on the toilet. She dried herself off. She thought. She dried her hair. She thought.

The phone rang.

Inuyasha arrived to Kaede's hut, sniffing the air. He was right. Kagome was no longer there, but the monk, exterminator, the two-tail cat, the old lady, and the little fox. He sighed. He wanted the miko there and talk to her. Or at least see her. He sniffed again.

He smelt tense the monk had, and he felt Sango's angry aura. He flinched. He knew something was about to go down. Why didn't he just stay at the god tree or go to Kagome's time? He thought. He had time, he could dash, run for it back there. But it was too late.

A hand had gripped his front haori, pulling him hard into the hut. He stumbled on his feet, twirling around to see the angry Sango he had sensed. He prayed for saving, hoping at least Kagome to entered in the hut. No luck.

"Inuyasha, explain," Sango angrily commanded, guarding the door. Inuyasha blinked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Explain what?" he asked, leaning against the wall, "You should be explaining why Kagome isn't here,"

"Because you went to the dead miko, you ass!" said Sango, pointing at him. He was beginning to boil.

"Her name is Kikyo. Can't anyone get names right?" said Inuyasha, whispering the last bit out.

"Sango, cool down. Inuyasha, Lady Kagome went home to her era, wanting peace," Miroku said, "and to be away from you for awhile,"

"What have I done?" Inuyasha asked, ready to break something.

"You went to Lady Kikyo," said Miroku

"I know that. I didn't do nothin' except talk, got that!" Inuyasha said. 'what the hell is with everyone and knowing my business!' he thought.

"Talk? About what?" asked Shippo

"Business. Nothing else for ANYONE to worry about. Now," he moved up to Sango, "get out of my way or I'll make you,"

"Don't make me pound you," said Sango, throwing a fist up.

"Get out of my way," Inuyasha growled, showing his fangs. Miroku stood up, grabbing Sango's shoulders and moved her to the side. She blinked, ready to respond. Miroku covered her mouth and shook his head, telling her to say no more. Inuyasha walked out of the hut, hurrying his way to the well.

"What was that for! I wasn't afraid of him!" Sango shouted, stabbing Miroku with her finger. Miroku held his hands out.

"But we don't need to resort in a battle. We need both of you guys to fight Naraku," said Miroku

"But!"

"Now, Sango, come on. Inuyasha can talk to Kagome without us hurting him and terrorizing him. I don't think Kagome would like that much,"

Sango sighed, looking at the path that Inuyasha took towards the well.

"I wonder what Kagome will do?" asked Sango, sighing again.

"Maybe sit him," said Miroku

"Shippo," called Sango, looking at the hut's door. Shippo head popped out, blinking.

"Yes Sango?" he asked, looking up at her. Sango smiled.

"I am going to take a bath. Can you make sure this monk doesn't peep? I'll ask Kilala too,"

"…" Miroku didn't say anything.

"Sure," said Shippo, stepping out of the hut. Kilala followed him out and they both went with Sango to the springs. Miroku stood still, watching them leave. He let a sigh out and went into the hut, stretching and yawning.

Kagome had answered the phone, but forgot how the greet the person who called. She was embarrassed by that fact. She slapped herself on the forehead. The times she was in the Feudal Era messed her up, allowing her to fit into their customs and forget the modern ones.

"Hello?" she said, remembering that this was the best way to go.

"Kagome-chan!" ranged a girly voice, loudly into the ear piece. Kagome held it away, rubbing her ear that was now ringing.

"…Do you have to do that?" Kagome asked. It was one of her best friends.

"Sorry…I didn't know you got back home. I mean, you had Bakaryuushito Disease. God Kagome, what is happening to you?"

Kagome's eye twitched. Bakaryuushito Disease! What the hell is that! Gramps, you're dead when I get a hold of you!

"Uh…yeah. I just got back today, and I don't know what is happening to me," Kagome said, laughing slightly.

"Well since you are back, I was wondering. Has Hojo called you?"

"No…why?"

"He has two tickets to a dinner thing he wants to take you too. He has been waiting till you are better,"

"Uhh…"

"Great! I'll call him and he can meet you there! Tonight is a good night!" Her friend hung up the phone.

Kagome starred at the phone before banging her head on the table, hanging up the phone herself. Kagome screamed, wishing this wasn't happening.

"…Why me?" she asked herself. She thought for a while. She really didn't want to go on a date with her friend Hojo. But she did want to leave the house and get out for a bit. She sighed. Hopefully, it will get Inuyasha out of her mind till he comes and gets her. He would come tonight, right?

She stood up and rubbed her forehead, walking back into her room with the towel still wrapped around her. She went to her closet and looked around.

'Maybe this was a good thing' kept ringing in her head, but the thoughts of Inuyasha reaction of her being with another man, that was frightening.

"Well now he'll know how it feels when the person who you care about goes off to another person for love," said Kagome, moving clothes out of the way.
