Secretly, though InuYasha probably wouldn't want to admit this terribly, he wanted to get Miharu some way to at least pass messages back to her own time. He hadn't quite developed an idea yet, but he figured that maybe she could share letters through the well. They'd appear on the other side or something like that.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, he'd been reluctant to admit that just yet, because of the fact that he didn't want to look too soft at all.<br/><br/>Anyway, though, he was finally meeting up with her and he wanted to, well, do as he always did when greeting her.<br/><br/>Smirking a bit, especially once he was chastised for not helping her up, InuYasha folded his arms and scoffed. "Why, you can't get up by yourself or something?"<br/><br/>It would have seemed that the good old times were back.<br/><br/>Admittedly he was glad to see how close Miharu and Shippou had bonded, but honestly he wasn't going to come out and say that either. She would have clearly known from his expression, but he wasn't going to say that at all.<br/><br/>Turning with a thoughtful nod, Ken'ichi swallowed and exhaled, "Has he caused harm to anyone?" Rather than think of his own reasons, involving the hole in his hand, to question any sense of activity with Naraku, Ken'ichi immediately concerned himself with the well being of others who might have been harmed by him.<br/><br/>Irrespective of this, though, he soon stood and bowed politely to Miharu. It seemed liked everyone was glad that she was back.<br/><br/>Grumbling a bit, InuYasha finally did say one thing that was genuine. "Mi-chan, if you want to keep things going smoothly, it's going to take work from each of us to keep things going."<br/><br/>Apparently he had been admitting that he was going to have to keep his personality in check with the same breath that he was telling her to. Maybe he was right, though, and if they did everything with a little respect things would go much more smoothly.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the monk stood up properly and looked toward Miharu. "While Lady Kaede does grow weaker, and won't be accompanying us, she has promised her support. We should be seeing a bit more of her as a result."
