Hey homies! Shoutouts first and foremost to the reviewers: bleedingangel95, 1968, princessbinas, LordAzrael1, and SilentSnowLeopardNinja (Ha. Always a shout out if I can manage it. Lol and Kagome was always a difficult character for me. Her capacity to love is amazing but she's also a bit of a brat and so very, very young. As to what InuYasha will be doing: definite wandering but he's always wanted a home. I think he deserves that. As to whether it'll be in a village or in his own little corner of the world, that remains to be scene. He's gotta stomp all over Kishimoto's plot first. And maaaaaayyyyybbbbeeee he could go back. Personally not feeling it though. Not liking the kicked dog returning to where its been harmed, but I also dont have a set ending in mind. Floating between a few)
To the followers and favorite clickers: You are the silent but valued majority. Thank you!
Short but I got mad inspiration for another story so... got side tracked. Whoops.

Circumstance
Book 2: Land of Grass
Chapter 7:
Shadow
They were gone within the hour.
The one called Jun left a small pack beside InuYasha before vanishing into the forest. InuYasha thought he would feel better at their absence but instead he felt nothing. He forced himself to feel nothing. If he let himself think-
Do what you've never done, InuYasha-
If he let himself think-
Live.
He'd fall apart again.
InuYasha sat in silence, Kiba nestled between his legs and propped on his left shoulder. He didn't move as the sun crossed the sky and the shadows grew long. He stayed there, immobile and mired in not thinking.
His senses passively noted the passing of time and the animals that nosed around him before they ignored him entirely and pawed at his pack. A fox started to try and drag it off in the middle of the night but it was too heavy. By morning it had returned with a friend and the pair each grabbed a strap, tugging it towards their den. They were making decent progress when the pair stilled and both cocked their heads towards the forest.
Spooked by whatever approached, they abandoned their theft and darted off into the undergrowth.
Inuyasha didn't twitch as the shadows turned into men.
Next chapter: Old faces (not that old)
