It had been a little over a week since Inuyasha last saw Kikyou. Although he did not want to admit it, she had been on his mind. He was even starting to wonder if he would ever see her. And also more importantly why did he want to see her. Soon Inuyasha got down from his tree. He decided to go and find her. He started walking he wanted to find Kikyou. But he didn't want to see any other humans.

He stood there by the river. Inuyasha knew for a fact a lot of humans would pass her. He heard some footsteps and jumped into the bush. There Kikyou stood, gathering water. After a while Kikyou looked up, someone was watching her. She knew it was Inuyasha, she didn't know how she knew. But she just knew he was there.

"Inuyasha, you can come out. Its just me here."

He slowly crept out from behind the bushes. And stood there avoiding all contact with the girl. He didn't want her to know he came looking for her. Although that was true, he really was trying to find her.

"I..uh."

Kikyou carefully observed the situation. She may be a child, but she wasn't blind. Inuyasha had obviously came to see her. She couldn't help but blush, that was sweet of him.

"You came to find me didn't you?" she asked him.

"Um, no what makes you think that?"

The little hanyou boy stood, scratching his head. He didn't want her to know he was looking for her. But right now he was making himself obvious. He turned to look at her, a very clear and evident blush on his face.

"Sorry about not coming to see you sooner."

"Yea, where were you?"

Kikyou wanted to say something. But heard her name being called in the distance. She hated to leave him standing here. Especially when he came to find her. Inuyasha knew he would have to leave soon. He heard the villagers approaching.

"I...should go." Kikyou whispered.

Inuyasha didn't want her to go, and she knew that she wanted to stay. Before he realized what he was doing he reached for her hand. She looked up at him, and then slowly accepted his hand. And soon both children were running.

Kikyou felt as if she was being dragged away. He was indeed faster than her, and she also had no idea where they were going. It seemed like they were running for miles, until Inuyasha stopped.

"Why, why did you drag me with you?"

He wasn't sure why. Maybe it was all because he wanted to see her. And in short she was his only friend, why couldn't he spend time with her. The only people who wouldn't understand was the villagers. That was why he had to drag her away.

"I, well does it really matter?" he responded.

She knew what he wanted to say. She decided it was best if she didn't say anything. Besides it wasn't like she could always go see him. The villagers would never understand her friendship with him.

"No it doesn't."

Kikyou sat down underneath the tree, Inuyasha just leaned up against it. She doubted if he would actually sit down. It would be awhile before he trusted her. If only he could see that she wasn't against him. That she really wanted to be his friend.

It remained silent for awhile, nothing but the breeze could be heard. She wondered if they would even speak to each other. And also would the villagers come looking for her. Inuyasha was never really good with conversations. But not only was she human, but she was a girl. What could they possibly talk about. Before to long Inuyasha slumped down next to her.

"Where are your parents?" Inuyasha asked

"They're dead, I didn't met them."

He could somehow understand that, only that he actually had his mother. He had some memories of her, and how much she loved him. Here as Kikyou didn't have any memories of either of her parents. He couldn't help but feel sorry.

"I have a brother, well he's a full demon."

Inuyasha had only seen his brother a few times. They did not have a close relationship, in fact Sesshomaru made it clear he hated him. That was fine with Inuyasha because he hated him as well. Inuyasha didn't even know if his brother was dead or alive. And it didn't bother him one way or another. Kikyou listened to Inuyasha's tone, they clearly did not get along.

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what Kikyou?"

"That even though you have family, your still by yourself."

He smirked, Sesshomaru family yeah right. He was only his half brother, and they did not get along. The only family he ever had was his mother. And now he had one friend, and that was Kikyou. Other than that he had nothing else.

"Sesshomaru isn't family, I hate him."

"Yea, but you two are still related."

Kikyou never really had a reason to hate anybody. Mainly because she was usually by herself. And she couldn't very well hate herself. But unlike herself Inuyasha had a reason to hate his brother.

"I don't care, he's only my half brother. Besides he hates me too, because my mother was human." he admitted.

Before Kikyou knew it she threw her arms around him. Inuyasha was very surprised by this. And he soon found himself returning the hug.

"What this for?" he wondered.

"I'm sorry Sesshomaru hates you, But I don't hate you."

She let him go, and wiped the tears from her eyes. She cried a little because she felt sorry for him. No one should ever hate their family. And she wanted him to understand, that she didn't hate him. There was no reason to hate him.

"I, thank you Kikyou."

"You're welcome."

Kikyou looked up, it was getting late. She needed to return to the village. As much as she would like to stay, she couldn't.

"I'll go now, But I will come back."

"I'll walk you back to the village." he offered.

"No thats alright, you don't have to."

But before he could insist that he walk her, she was already walking away. She turned to wave goodbye, and then she was gone. It wasn't until a few minutes later, when he heard a scream. It was a girl and it sounded just like...

"Kikyou..."

Of course it had to be, she had just left. And now she was in some kind of trouble, he couldn't just sit here and do nothing.

"Hang on Kikyou, I'm coming." he yelled.
