Kagome' POV:

It was very quiet as we all sat around the fire. No one spoke; we just stared at the multicolored flames we sat around. The dead silence was killing me, someone had to talk eventually. The past few days had been rough, we ran into Naraku several times, and Sango had run into Kohaku. Everyone was exhausted, and sleep deprived. Even though everyone was in a bad mood, I had to get everyone talking.

"So," I said awkwardly. "How was the ramen?"

Everyone's gaze was now on me, their faces showing mixed emotions. "It was excellent Kagome, thank you." Miroku said giving me a slight smile.

"Yes Kagome, thank you. I think I'm going to get some rest now, it has been a long day." Sango said going to her spot, curling up with Kirara next to her.

When I looked over at Shippo he was already passed out on the ground. I sighed and smiled a little. I got up off of the hard ground, and gently picked Shippo up. He was probably the most exhausted out of everyone; after all he was the youngest out of all of us. I quietly walked over to my sleeping bag, and carefully set Shippo on it. He squirmed a bit, but then got comfortable and began to snore. I giggled; Shippo really was the cutest thing.

Once I made sure Shippo was okay, I returned to everyone else, but there was no one to return to. Everyone was fast asleep, and Inuyasha was sitting in a tree. I took a deep breath, and walked over to him. We had gotten into an argument about Kikyo again, and we weren't on speaking terms. "I'm gunna go to bed." I said looking up at him.

He sighed, and turned his head so he could look at me. "Okay." He said then looked away. I began to walk away when I heard him talk again. "Ka… Kagome?" I turned, hearing my name. "I'm sorry; I shouldn't have acted that way." He never moved from his spot on the tree.

"Its okay, I know you didn't mean to yell at me like that. Goodnight." I said walking back to my sleeping bag. As I turned I saw a slight grin on his face.

Once at my sleeping bag I slowly slid into it, pulling Shippo closer to me. We slept like this every night, but I didn't mind it. My mind was empty, not sure of anything anymore. As I laid there I thought about Sango, she missed her brother a lot and it showed. I began to feel my eyelids droop, and they suddenly became heavy. They slowly covered my eyes, and I was soon fast asleep, not knowing what was to come.

Inuyasha's POV:

When I opened my eyes I felt terrible. Even though she said she wasn't, I knew Kagome was still mad at me. She would never say it to my face; she was too kind hearted for that. I turned my head to see her sleeping peacefully. Her arms was wrapped around Shippo as she held him like a teddy bear. As annoying as he could be, I thought of him like a little brother. I would never tell anyone that though.

As I looked around I noticed that the others were still asleep. There was no need to get up at that very moment, so I rested my head on the trunk of the tree I was perched in. The last time I saw Kikyo she seemed very weak and tiered. I couldn't stand seeing her like that, it made me angry. I didn't know if I still had feelings for her, my emotions were screwed up.

Before Kagome I had never felt kindness, or friendship or any of that. She showed me how to trust people, and how to make friends. I appreciated her for that; I just didn't know her place in my heart yet. I knew I cared for her, but was it more then I cared for Kikyo? I shook those thoughts out of my head. I didn't need to be thinking about this.

I decided it was time for Kagome to wake up, so I quickly jumped out of the tree, and walked over to her. She did not move as I walked towards her. She seemed like she was in a very deep sleep. Shippo noticed me approaching, and his eyes flew open.

"Hey Inuyasha, what are you doing?" he asked wiping his eyes.

"I am going to wake Kagome up, go wake the others we need to get moving." I told him.

He nodded, and broke free from Kagome's grip; she still didn't move an inch. I crouched down next to her, moving a piece of hair out of her face. "Kagome." I said gently shaking her. "Time to get up." I got no answer what so ever. "Kagome you need to get up." I said a little bit louder, but she still didn't move.

I was worried now, why wasn't she moving? I shook her harder now, hoping she would open here eyes. "Kagome, seriously it is time to wake up!" I almost yelled. I heard the others walking towards us.

"What's with all the yelling?" Miroku asked, still half asleep.

"Kagome won't get up, she hasn't even moved. I don't know what's wrong with her." I looked at her as I said this, if she didn't wake up soon we would have to take her to Kaede.

Miroku became more serious, and walked closer. He bent down, and put his palm on Kagome's head. "She does not have a fever, and she seems to be breathing normally." He closed his eyes, concentrating on something. His eyes flew open, and he looked at me with worry. "We need to get her to lady Kaede right away. I think she might be trapped in the spirit world."

An: So there you are, please tell me how you like it!
