Ok, I'm back and trying not to let my own emotions flow into the story. Oh and I'm not updating till I get a f#cking review! This story isn't that bad is it!

Day broke to an already bustling camp. The villager's as it were seemed to be optimist's when it came to rebuilding. They men were cutting down tree's and saplings, despite the cool breeze of the early morning you could see the tell tail signs of perspiration forming on their brow's. Where the previous village had stood the women had already removed the burnt leftovers of the village and were sweeping up the rest and gathering necessary tools to start over. Many of the villager's were planning for bigger or smaller hut's, doing which ever they saw fit. The general atmosphere was one of happiness though some were open about their dissatisfaction of having to rebuild again,

Rebuilding was common place in Sengoku Jidai, the huts were flimsy enough without the added storms and rampaging youkai. Though the villager's were fortunate this time to have nice spring weather to rebuild in, this is not always the case. Sometime if a house caves in because of the snow they would have to rebuild in the cold of winter. Later it would have to be modified because of structural swelling. The light spring breeze brought relief to the hard working villagers and the sent of a blossoming world to the nose's that could smell it. Sango and Miroku were busy chopping wood and InuYasha was even pitching in using his claws to shred the long trunks of the trees in to beam's that would be used in the structures of the house's. Kagome watched the scene with a warm heart, before her attention was once again diverted to the children she was put in charge of.

There were only a few children in the village, which was odd for this time of year, but looking at the laboring women she saw new additions that would be coming soon. Kagome kept a close eye on the little one's as they all played together, even her kit Shippou was interacting with them. It was amazing that in this warring era that ningen and youkai children could still play with each other. The children were playing tag leaving Kagome to sit in the shade of a young tree and contemplate her thoughts.

'It's weird' Kagome though absently as she fingered one of the flower's the children had given her. 'That this small little town of Edo will grow to be Tokyo… For all I know I could be sitting in the middle of what could be an intersection.' Kagome absentmindedly shook her head, that couldn't be right. She looked at the relative location to the well and mentally laid out her neighborhood. The shrine was quiet large, the buildings you see were only part of the vast expanse of garden's that was included in the shrine. Surrounding the shrine were a few blocks of house's were Eri and Yumi lived.

Kagome's blue eye's widened considerably as she realized where she now sat. A soft smile filtered it's way across Kagome's face as she recalled all the found memories of her childhood at the very place she now sat. Mentally she could see the where the play equipment would sit and she imagined the young village children playing in the park. She giggled as she remembered her father bringing her down to the park and pushing her in the swing. She closed her eyes as she felt the imaginary breeze send her hair flying past her face and the rush of falling back for her father to push her higher, her long black tress's clouding her view of the other children playing.

'One more time ottou-san!' She could hear her childish voice pleading for another push in the swing, as her father's rich voice complying but telling her firmly that after that they would have to head home. The tree whose shad she now resided in would grow into massive cherry tree instead of the young sapling it was now. She giggled as she watched the children dance about in the fields, not having a care in the world. This is how the day continued and later the village returned to the camp. Most of the frames had been put up and many would be finished the next day or the day after.

Sitting around the camp fire, the group casually chatted and relaxed after a long day of labor. Even Kagome was tired, no matter what anyone tells you watching children is hard work. A comfortable silence fell over the group, their eyes focused on the fire before them and everyone seemed to of suddenly remembered the fire youkai from the day before. They would have to pursue her eventually; if she did in fact have a jewel shard they could not just let her have it. InuYasha even high up in one of the tree's that surrounded the village watched the fire with interest. Noticing that his traveling companions thought's were centered on the same cause he nimbly jumped from his perch.

Kagome noticed the ruffle of fabric as InuYasha jumped from his tree, and looked up in time to see him landing on the ground. His red haori was fluttering in the breeze as though he had only jumped a few feet, though it was more to the liking of fifty. With everyone's attention on him he informed them that they would be leaving early the next morning. Everyone rolled out their sleeping bags and prepared for the next days journey. InuYasha watched his friends prepare for sleep before turning to jump into his tree. A sent on the breeze caught his attention and he froze, carefully sniffing the breeze. With out a second thought he leapt off in to the trees. Without much thought he told every one to stay where they were.

Sango and Miroku gave each other nervous glance's before their uneasy gazes fell upon Kagome's startled and slightly hurt form. Everyone even Kagome knew where he was going. Even if they didn't the glow of the soul stealer's above the tree line was a fairly good clue. Kagome continued to settle in for bed as if InuYasha hadn't run off to be with Kikyo. They settled down and Kagome patiently waited for everyone to drift off to sleep before she carefully made her way out of camp. She walked to the Goshinboku it's where InuYasha and Kikyo always met. In her heart she knew that the very sight of them together would crush her but maybe InuYasha would just tell Kikyo that……

'That what? ' Kagome slightly thought. 'That he love's me, when he so obviously loves another?' Kagome's eyes where prickling with tears. 'That's just like me, I start crying before I even know what's going on, I'm to damn emotional' She though bitterly, her emotion always her emotion's, that's what always landed her into trouble. It's what caused her so much pain. Though, her emotions had led her to many good things as well, so perhaps they were not as bad as they seemed.

Kagome's feet had carried her to the edge of the clearing and she watched with an already-knowing gaze. The scene before her unfolded like clock work, Kikyo would gaze blankly at InuYasha as he confessed his love for her and enveloped her in a hug; Kikyo would slowly relax into the hug and they would part with Kikyo questioning InuYasha's feeling's fore her. Kikyo would disappear into the night's sky leaving a silent InuYasha to ponder over her question. Kagome deftly wiped away tears that were running down her cheeks. Looking down at her hand she was slightly amazed that she was crying. Why though it was not as if she expected anything different to happen, right? With a slight pause in the clock work InuYasha's nose twitched as he turned to where she stood. Their eye's met in an understanding gaze, this is where the clock work stopped though, she wasn't going to run anymore. No she was tired of this game, she was tired of always having her heart broke. Instead of running back to the well she took a step towards InuYasha. Slowly their feet carried them to one another, she still had tears running down her face and he gently reached out and brushed them away with his thumb. She leaned in to his weathered hand, enjoying the feeling of warmth.

With a sigh Kagome pulled back from InuYasha's caress, her eye's normally bright blue were clouded with pain but she continued anyway. "InuYasha" her voice was soft and gentle even though she was pained at what had transpired. His gaze showed he hadn't been expecting her to be so understanding. Vaguely she wondered if she yelled too much at him, but shook such inconsequential thoughts from her head. "InuYasha, we can't continue this any farther. This end's tonight, I know how much you lover her and I wish you two the best of luck. I'll stay and collect the shards with you, if you so choose if not I'll return home and Kikyo can help you search for the shards." Even if her voice had sounded smooth and composed, Kagome was anything but, she didn't want to leave Sengoku Jidia. This place had become a second home, and all of her true friends were here.

With out hesitation InuYasha hugged a very stunned Kagome, returning his hug she smiled into his haori. She knew she could stay and that this was his way of saying thanks. Things would change now, he wouldn't have to sneak off and she'd have to grow used to seeing him with someone else. That's life though. Walking back to camp, a quote came back to her… 'If the world didn't suck, we'd all be in space' she smiled at the stupid little joke, but couldn't come up with where she'd heard it. She supposed it really didn't matter, she was just happy to fell better.

Ok that's it yeah you heard me that's it. Just a break up and some villager's but you know what? I'm discouraged I've written a lot in detail and beautifully and I haven't gotten even ONE review! I really don't care if it's so short. I don't! I'm NOT updating till I get a review!
