Rays of light scattered over the ground, peeking through the trees as the sun rose up from the horizon. The early morning light cast a glow upon the area. A pair of amber eyes scanned over the clearing, stopping to rest on a sleeping girl.
A small smile tugged at the corners of InuYasha's lips. As fast as the smile came, it was gone.

He sighed , `She'll have to go back to her own time soon. The jewel is completed. There won't be any reason for her to want to stay here anymore.' He glanced at the sleeping kit, snuggled next to her.

`Even if she were to stay, it would be only to take care of the runt. Even if I wished it for other reasons… `

'Wait, what? Where did that come from?! Damn it, InuYasha, you're getting too soft!'

`You know you want her to stay. You could always just ask…'

'What? No. She wouldn't want to stay here… with me…. Would she?'

A sudden wave of guilt washed over him. He frowned,'What about Kikyo? I completely forgot about her.'

`What about Kikyo? You know you want to be with Kagome.'

'What?! Even if I wanted to be with Kagome… I owe Kikyo!'

'You owed it to her to avenge her death, you don't owe her your life. A life you want to spend with Kagome…'

'Shut up. It doesn't matter… Kagome wouldn't want to spend her life with me.'

'But you know-`

'Shut up!'

He growled. `This is fucking dumb. I'm fucking talking to myself. I've gone crazier then the old man Kagome lives with!'

A movement below the tree he was perched in caught his attention. Gazing down to the ground, he noticed that the group he'd come to know as friends, were awakening.
Kagome sat up, careful not to wake Shippo. She stretched and smiled up at InuYasha.
He smirked, `Atleast she thinks I'm better company than that old fart'

A /N: Yeah, so that was pretty short. This chapter was sort of.. pointless. I gave Kagome's POV last chapter.. so I just thought I'd have a chapter to do with InuYasha. I guess this was just sort of a transition chapter, to get the story going a bit.
