A/N: Ok, I know Ken is a jerk, a big big jerk! This is a lighter chapter.

==========================================================

“But Inuyasha, it's your land…the forest is named after you. It's what your father left to you.”

 

“Shippo I said NO! Stop talking to me about it.”

 

Shippo sighed. It has been eighteen years since they left that place.

 

“It's because you're still angry with Kagome. You have to let it go. It was a mistake and what she did to you was wrong, what they both did, but, Inuyasha, can you really still be mad at them?”

 

“Shut up Shippo.” Inuyasha growled through clenched teeth.

 

“Inuyasha…Sit!” Said a Kagome with a tail.

 

“Shippo!”

 

The kit began to run around trying to avoid an angry inu youkai.

 

“Inuyasha!!!! I really think you need to talk this out!!!!”

 

Inuyasha stopped running and sat on the ground. Shippo finally stopped as well albeit several feet away.

 

“What are you saying Shippo?”

 

Shippo panting responded:

 

“I'm saying you need to move on. Your anger toward Kagome and Miroku, well, it's kept you from moving on with your life. I'm pretty sure they moved on with theirs.”

 

Inuyasha had to think about what the kitsune said. He has been alone with the exception of Shippo, his brother and Myouga and a few concubines. The first three years was on the quest to find the Jeanie and make himself a youkai, the second half had been to reconnect with his brother. Now he's done both. Was Shippo right?

 

“So, are you ready then Shippo?”

 

“Huh, ready…for what?”

 

“To get on with your life. Look, you don't have to stay with me, I understand, your wanting a mate, go ahead.”

 

Shippo walked over to him and sat down.

 

“Oi, it's not that. I'm not ready to settle down yet…but Inuyasha I just want for you to find happiness like your brother and you don't need to wait several eons before you do that. What will happen when we get to Kagome's century and you see her again, are you going to attack her like you did me?”

 

Inuyasha didn't respond and Shippo sighed.

 

“I'm going back to the village, I have to visit Keade's grave, I think you should do it too and visit Kikyo's while you are at it.”

 

“I suppose your right, I will meet up with them again…but…damn it all…they really…”

 

“I know Inuyasha, but I was there, it was a mistake. I'm on your side, remember, but, I still can't hate them and you shouldn't either. You need to move on I think if you did, you wouldn't be so angry.”

 

“When did you get so smart Shippo?” Inuyasha said with pride. He did have a hand at raising the kitsune. It made him think about all the others too who helped and his heart grew heavy.

 

“I've always been this smart. Foxes are known for their cleverness.”

 

Inuyasha smirked.

 

“Is that so?” Both of them started running around again feeling young. They decided they would leave in a week's time to visit the old village.
