Kagome looked where Shippo was pointing. Crazy blonde hair, blue eyes, that was him alright, but chibi.

"Just when I thought I'd seen everything." Inuyasha mumbled, "Okay so we know the kid isn't the demon, so what's the point of this?"

But he kept looking. Something in that boy's face was… nostalgic.

Naruto was on a lone swing, watching other children play, with other children or with their parents. No one offered him to play or even bothered to look at him. Well, the parents did, but it was a look that screamed "I wish 1000 gruesome deaths upon you!"

"Strange," Kagome remarked, "If the Kyuubi had the villagers under its influence, why are they so… cruel?" She looked to Inuyasha for an answer, but only saw him staring at the boy.

"Those two siblings lied to us…" He said quietly, "The kid told the truth…"

"How can you tell?" Kagome asked.

"Look at those…people!" He burst out, "It makes sense! That fox destroyed a lot of the village, and when it was sealed in him, they blamed everything on HIM! They couldn't let it go! They're the demons, not…" He stopped, took a deep breathe, and calmed down. The place blurred as they were taken through more of his life.

From the day he found out about the Kyuubi, to his mission in the land of waves, his defeat of Gaara, etc. With each passing memory, Kagome marveled at how Naruto and his friends were so strong at the age of 12. Both she and Shippo nearly cried when Sasuke left the village. It went on and on up until that very day.

All too soon, Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo and Naruto were back in front of the Kyuubi. For a moment, there was silence.

Then, Inuyasha and Naruto looked at each other with a mutual respect. But Naruto, being Naruto, couldn't stay quiet for long…

"The place you live in is so cool!" He blurted excitedly, "There's Demons and Jewels and all kinds of stuff! And that sword is SWEET! Let me see!"

"Dream on!" Inuyasha yelled, putting his hands over the sheathed tetsaiga defensively, "This is MINE! Don't you have your own things?" Kagome laughed at this.

Well, my work here is done! The Kyuubi declared, Now go away! You're disrupting my solitude!

When they woke up, they were all in one hospital room. As Both sides got up, they saw their comrades glaring at the other.

"Don't kill him!" Inuyasha said aloofly, "This will take a lot of explaining, so I'll let Kagome do it!"

That's it! Be disappointed if you will, but WE took time out of OUR busy schedule to write this… the least you could do is REVIEW it!
