~*~

Have you ever been able to control your feelings? By feelings, on someone who you think was who you’ve been missing all that time? For _____, those feelings come and go on the infamous leader of the wolf clan himself, Kouga. It’s like...a beautiful flower fading to wilt, and then a new one growing.

_____, as usual, isolated herself from the gang, who were all absorbed in their discussion of their next strategy to get at Naraku after relocating himself again. It was frequent, for _____ to not take part in their discussions. Only after she sees something unpleasant with Kouga. A few days later, she would behave normally again, as if the incidents with Kouga never happened. No matter how many times it happens, it always wonders the devil out of Inuyasha.

As _____ finally joined the gang around the fire, ‘grilling’ caught fish by it; she caught interest in the situation. Apparently, Naraku had temporarily settled somewhere in the west. Inuyasha’s plan was only to get there as quick as possible, while he intended to leave the moment the sun rises the next day.

“Are you serious?” asked _____, blinking in confusion. Inuyasha nodded, looking serious. “And what do you intend to do when we locate Naraku?”

“On the way, we’ll try to think of a way to get past the barrier and get to Naraku and his reincarnations. Or we try and get them to us.” Sango explained, looking at Kagome, Shippo and Miroku, who nodded. _____ twitched her eyebrow in fascination. These people can be incredibly clever when the situation sometimes calls for it. Not always. 

“I get it now.” Said _____, looking down as she was handed her done fish by Shippo. Kirara sat by her feet, treating herself on her own pieces of the fish. _____ smiled as she reached out to stroke behind Kirara’s ear, only dreadfully reminding herself of Kouga and his furry features. She was snapped out of her thoughts when Kirara purred in pleasure, putting another smile onto _____ ‘s face and she begins to dig into her fish.

The next day, everyone got up (more like struggled) to wake up at immediate sunrise. Well, to be clear, Inuyasha was the first one to get up and shoved the rest to their feet. Until Shippo whined about not having any food so early in the morning.

“Shut your trap. We’ll find some food on the way.” Said Inuyasha bluntly, slipping his arms into the sleeves of his kimono as he began to lead the group while searching for any familiar scent. Shippo wasn’t convinced and turned to _____ and Kagome as they walked next to each other.

“Kagome, do you have any snacks for me?” asked Shippo shakily. Kagome and _____ looked at each other and sighed. 

“I do, but they’re not appropriate for having in the morning. Why not just try looking for some safe berries or fruits during the journey?” Kagome smiled, not wanting to hurt the little fox demon. _____ just stared at the pair, bewildered at the fact that this short conversation was going in all directions.

“Can I have a say in this?” _____ asked, putting up her hand as the group looked past their shoulders towards her. “Do we even know where we’re going?”

“West, of course.” Shippo pointed out. 

“And how would you know if this direction was west?”

.....

“_____ actually has a point.” Said Miroku, causing Inuyasha’s ear to twitch. “Do you still have that compass the village head gave you, _____?”
