Hey! Shoutouts first and foremost to the reviewers: Princessbinas, SilentSnowLepoardNinja (Kagome thought she was doing right by InuYasha since she was saving him from letting himself die. Everyone in the Feudal era lived relatively nice lives after this decision so the only one she kind of fucked over was InuYasha. Even then it wouldn't seem that way to her because he's somewhere better(?). Also, I don't know where InuYasha is gonna put roots yet, haven't decided.) Blitza, bleedingangel95 (To InuYasha a betrayal is a betrayal though, doesn't matter if he got to live happily ever after with Kikyo or whatever. That wasn't Kagome's choice to make.), and D-Chan3.
To the followers and favorite clickers: Who's the best? You are! You're the best!

Chapter 6:
Voice
Kushina buried the sting of his rejection beneath a well forced laugh.
"Right, forget I offered." She stood and willed her lip to stop trembling. He was a shit kid who wanted to keep the world on his shoulders. He didn't need anyone else because he liked being miserable. This was what he asked for and she shouldn't feel empathy, or guilt, or anything because obviously the little turd wanted to wallow.
Kushina ignored the little voice at the back of her head that said once upon a time, she had been the same.
"Taking you to Suna would have been a bother anyway. With the way you thrive in the cold, you wouldn't last an hour."
Why are you surprised, Kushina? Few people can stomach you, like he said.
And what the hell did he know about being alone? His family wasn't murdered out of fear. He wasn't shipped off like a trophy to cage some monstrous chakra beast-
What's this? Yet another bitter soul you try to cling to, Uzumaki?
Kushina stiffened immediately at the unwelcomed voice. Oddly enough, the fox's distain was enough to get the teen moving. Mind your own business, fox.
She left, immediately, without a backwards glance, cursing herself for letting her bitterness get the best of her for even a moment.
The fox had been agitated lately but the fact that it was feeling lively enough to pay attention to her interaction with the kid made her uneasy. Maybe it was for the best that she left. It made sense that InuYasha would pull away from her in the end.
Aside from Mikoto and sensei, everyone else always did.
