Inuyasha went inside of Kaede's hut looking her Shippo, he wasn't there.

"What is it child?" Kaede asked as Inuyasha came inside of the hut.

"I was looking for Shippo he left after we saw Kouga." Inuyasha said taking a seat next to Miroku.

"Kouga? What was he doing here?" Sango asked

"He came to look for Kagome, but Shippo told him she's never coming back. I'm really worried I mean his face was so said when he said it. I think he's given up hope."

"What are we going to do Shippo has seem so sad since Kagome left. Ye hope of her coming back is all ye has left." Kaede said.

"Well I have an idea but we are gonna need sheets and pillows." Miroku said

Kagome slept in the next morning she had a lot on her mind. She walked down stairs to have breakfast.

"Morning Mom, morning gramps where's Sota?" Kagome asked.

"Good morning Kagome, he went to a friend house which reminds me Ayumi called and told you to meet you at the mall at 3." Kagome's mom said.

Kagome look at the clock it was already 2:30.

"Aw man "Kagome took her plate with an omelet on it and hurried up the stairs to get ready.

Kagome got to the mall around 3:15.

Ayumi was already there sitting in front of the panda express. "Hey what took you so long?" Ayumi asked when Kagome walked up to her

"I woke up like half an hour before, you told me to be hear and it took a while to get here anyway he'd you wanna meet her?" Kagome asked as she sat in the seat in front on Ayumi.

"Well I wanted to ask you why um... you said yes to Hojo when he asked you to be his girlfriend do you think you're ready."

"Well I said yes because I thought it would be a nice change for a guy to like me and only me and treat me nice."

"Yeah but that Inuyasha are you sure you're over him, he seemed like he really loved you when I meet him." Ayumi said.

"Well I'm not totally sure but I will me I'm going to get some closure."

"Closure?" Ayumi asked.

"Yeah next month I'm going to go give him back something of his" Kagome said referring to the jewel shard.

Kagome thought of how it would be to see Inuyasha after so long. How it would fell to actually know that him and Kikyo were together.

Teardrops fell onto the table. Ayumi got up and sat next to Kagome rubbing her back trying to console her.

"I don't know if I'm strong enough." Kagome said.

"You will be if that's what you want to do." Ayumi said.

The two girls spent the day in the mall, one just consoling the other.

Shippo had spent the whole day walking around thinking about Kagome. Wondering why she left him behind.

He came to a fork in the road. One lead to Kaede's hut. The others slept there because they didn't believe that Kagome would return and he was starting to too.

The other was to the well where he and Inuyasha slept every night hoping Kagome would show up.

Shippo went to Kaede's hut. He was surprised to find no one was there.

He started walking towards the bone eaters well and saw smoke from a fire and heard people talking.

When he finally was in sight of the well he was shocked. There was Inuyasha as usual but Sango, Kaede and Miroku where there to. They were all sitting by a fire talking. Inuyasha was the first to spot Shippo.

"Hey Shippo dinners ready." He said ushering him over.

"What are you guys all doing out here." Shippo asked as he took a fish from Sango.

"Wanting for Kagome of course." Miroku said

Shippo looked at each of them their faces showed how serious they were.

Shippo grinned " Well I hope she hurries because I'm cold"
