"Inuyasha? Hey Inuyasha, I have come to deliver some food to you." A bowl full of rice and another filled with roasted fish was served on a wooden tray as it was placed on the grass at the foot of Kagome's grave. "Inuyasha? Don't you want to come down from here once in a while? You haven't been moving too much didn't you? It would be great to stretch your legs once in a while."

I paused to see if at least there were any response from him this time but after a moment of silence, I let out a sigh.

"Well then, I will put the food here then as usual." I turned to take my leave but I turned back to face Inuyasha again. "By the way, in case you have forgotten, Miroku's and Sango's wedding would be tomorrow. I don't know if you would come but all of us would appreciate it if you do."

I paused and again, silence. Anger boiled inside me and without thinking, I threw my fire magic on his head. As it hits his head, I waited for a reaction but he just tilted his head towards me.

"Oh, come on, Inuyasha! At least hit me back or something like how you used to!" I let out a loud grunt and stomped away, shouting, "You're a lost cause, Inuyasha! Just choose to drown yourself in the past Inuyasha. I bet you won't even come down tomorrow. You're such a horrible friend!"

That fool, Inuyasha, he had never been the same ever since Kagome's death. All he had ever done for the past eight months that had passed was sitting by Kagome's grave and mourn. I understand his pain but I don't understand why he did the things he did to himself. He never did come down to the village after that day. He had not even moved from that spot and the only time I did saw him was when he was at the Bone Eater's Well, resting his arms and chin on the edge of the well, staring at the bottom of the well like those times he would wait for Kagome when she went back to her time. He was acting so ridiculous and if wasn't for the reason he was grieving, I would smack that dog demon's head and laugh it off.

"You're back, Shippo. Have you sent the food to Inuyasha? How is he?" Sango inquired the moment I stepped in the hut.

"Yeah, I have sent it to him and of course, he's the same as always. Still sitting there like a zombie." I sighed at my own words. It's weird without Kagome, even now, what was not normal had become a norm and that is to see Inuyasha sitting so still unlike eight months ago in which he would keep nagging at us to keep going on our journey whenever we took a break. Well, another thing would be that you could hit him as much as you want and he would never fight back anymore.

"So, have you..?" Sango's voice brought me back to the present as I nodded to her question.

"I have reminded him of your wedding but I'm not sure if he had taken that information to his faraway mind."

Sango just nodded and gave out a sad smile, "You know, I don't think I would mind him not coming to the wedding. After all, though he is still grieving over the death of Kagome, here we are holding out a joyous event.

"It's not wrong, Sango. It's just him not getting over Kagome's death."

"But having this wedding will make it look like I'm over Kagome's death, in which, I'm not. Kagome was my best friend; she's even like a sister to me. So to lose her is like losing Kohaku and I don't think I could ever get over losing her. Still, here I am holding out a wedding tomorrow. I'm such a hypocrite."
