He looked around to see if any of the others had noticed, but they were all too caught up in their own thoughts. Shippo knew everybody was hiding their feelings under a mask.

Inu-Yasha always acts so gruff and mean. He rarely shows an ounce of emotion, but he cares about us. He definitely cares about Kagome, but he cares about the rest of us, too. He just never shows it. I know he cares about me, even if he bops me on the head a lot. He purposely got run through by Sesshomaru just to save us. He was more worried about Kagome, sure, but thatÕs only because she was hurt. The others are also wearing masks. I can see through them. At this he smiled. Kitsune tricks fool the eye, but the Kitsune itself can see what is beneath the illusion. (for example, a kitsune turns a rock into a leaf. another kitsune can tell that the leaf is a rock) That enables him to tell what is under the shell of each person, although it doesnÕt tell him what Inu-Yasha is thinking about.

Sango, she always acts so cool and calm. She says that Kohaku is not her brother, just a weapon, and she will kill him. She acted so.. like.. I donÕt care about it, but in truth, he is still her brother, and it will take her a lot of effort to kill him. She loves him, but she also loves us. What could she do? I feel bad for her.

What of Miroku? He truly is a lech, nothing fake about that, but he always acts so nice about everything. So.. perverted. Ok, so that is part true, but inside, every day... The hellhole on his hand could eat him up any day, and he fears it. He fears it much. Kill Naraku, or die trying. What kind of stupid choice is that? And if he doesnÕt, he dies from a stupid void in his hand!

Kagome hides her feelings the least, she says them out loud. Like the fact that she thinks Inu-Yasha only likes her because she looks like Kikyo, she said it right in his face. But she wears masks sometimes also. Sometimes, when she is acting cheery and we set off on a trip for shards, she is actually thinking about her home on the other side of the well. She thinks about ÒtestsÓ or something. Under her smile is actually a worried face, wondering if she has enough time to study.

Even I do. He grinned guiltily at himself. Inu-Yasha is the only one that knows, I think. But it gives me a lot of advantage. Putting up that innocent look makes Kagome stand on my side when Inu-Yasha bops me. Of course, if I didnÕt have that innocent look, he might not bop me that much all the time, but... But the fact that Inu-Yasha and himself puts on masks doesnÕt explain what Inu-Yasha is thinking about!

Past experience told him not to ask. He would probably get no answers and a bop on the head. On the other hand, his kitsune curiosity encouraged him to ask. Ask him! No, he wonÕt tell me anything, and IÕll just get bopped. Ask him! Ask him! No! IÕll get bopped! SangoÕs voice startled him, and evidently the others were startled also, for they all looked up suddenly. ÒKirara,Ó Sango commanded, and the cat transformed into youkai form and Sango hopped on. He followed and helped Kagome get up. Only Inu-Yasha didnÕt go on.

ÒInu-Yasha, do you want to ride?Ó Kagome asked softly. Inu-Yasha mumbled something and jumped on, suprising everybody. Sango apparently was still uncomfortable from startling everybody, so she explained, ÒI was getting sort of tired, so I decided to ride on Kirara. It is faster.Ó It was so obvious that Inu-Yasha didnÕt hear that Shippo couldnÕt resist and poked him. ÒInu-Yasha, what are you thinking about?Ó

ÒNothing,Ó he mumbled, but Miroku asked, ÒWhat is it, Inu-Yasha?Ó ÒItÕs OK if he doesnÕt want to tell,Ó said Kagome. Arrg! Kagome! And I can tell that you want to know too! You are just way too nice to him.

Inu-Yasha finally said, ÒI was just thinking about how many shards that bastard Naraku had and how long it would take for this quest to end.Ó Shippo could tell he wasnÕt telling the truth, and couldnÕt resist adding, ÒItÕs a wonder you can even think!Ó and received a bop on the head. ÒInu-Yasha! DonÕt do that!Ó Kagome exclaimed, scooping Shippo up.

I knew he was going to hit me! I feel so stupid! Why did I do that? IÕm always annoying him for no good reason! I am always the burden dragging him down! Instead of protecting him and giving him help, he has more work trying to protect me also! Why am I so useless? I didnÕt even avenge pa! He did! KagomeÕs voice cut Shippo out of his thoughts.

ÒWeÕre there,Ó she said.


Miroku peeked over at Sango. She was deep in thought, as was everybody else. Suddenly a look of confusion, pain, and hatred flashed across her face. Miroku barely suppressed a sigh.

Poor Sango. What the hell did that Naraku mean anyways? ÒIt is not I who made him forget. It is he who does not want to remember.Ó Well geez! Just said to make poor Sango feel bad, isnÕt it? By telling her her own brother doesn't want to remember her. Damn you, Naraku! A wasp buzzed by his head, forcing him to look up. Oh yeah, I have to find a way to deal with the Saimyoushou. But thatÕs impossible. Unless we kill Naraku today. But that means I wonÕt have to deal with them! IÕll think about that later.

He snuck another look at Sango. How can she even walk with that Hiraikotsu on her back? It looks extremely heavy. He started to daydream. I wish the Jewel never existed. All of us are here because of the Jewel. No use wishing now. We are walking towards our fate. He was mad at himself. Why am I being so glum? We never actually lost a battle before, and we arenÕt gonna start now.

Some crows fluttered down, and he kicked at them. He could see Inu-Yasha stomping into them, knowing them for what they are. Sango stared at the crows, obviously angry at their bad luck. Kagome looked at them with a look of amusement in her eyes, and then turned away. Why? DoesnÕt she know.. Of course. She doesnÕt. I donÕt think crows still stand as a death omen in her time. Or maybe they do, but she just doesnÕt know.

ÒKirara,Ó Sango said, startling him and everybody else. He looked at her and found that she was blushing, apparently embarrassed. He hopped on and helped Kagome on. Good idea, Sango. Faster and less tiresome. He vaguely noticed Inu-Yasha jumping on. Wow, first time he actually did. Shippo poked Inu-Yasha and asked what he was thinking about. Inu-Yasha refused to tell them.

ÒWhat is it, Inu-Yasha?Ó He found himself asking. Kagome said something about not telling is OK. Darn, sheÕs too nice to him. As he thought, Inu-Yasha said something about killing Naraku, which Miroku was pretty sure was not what he was thinking. Hey, Shippo looks disappointed too. I wonder if heÕll... He wasnÕt suprised when Shippo said something and got a bop on the head.

So, this is it. Kill Naraku, or die trying. WonÕt he be suprised when he is sucked into the curse that he set upon me. You will not live, Naraku. You will be killed, even if I must die for it. He jerked forward. Kirara had stopped.

ÒWeÕre there,Ó Kagome said.
