Worth a Sister's Randsom
"Tonight's the night of the new moon." Kagome announced, "Where are we staying?" "Feh. Somewhere where no one can see me." Inuyasha replied. "I've heard there's a very good inn in the town over." Miroku put in, "I could always make up some dark cloud and get us all free rooms." Sango sighed. "If they've got nice warm baths that would be great." She said, "Normally I'd tell you off for your plan, but not tonight."
The group had been searching for jewel shards for over three weeks with no stop. They were finally on their way home to Kaede's and the Bone Eater's Well.
"But what about me?" Inuyasha asked, "I don't want to be seen!" "Then you'll just have to get into the room before sunset and leave after sunset." Kagome said, "There's nothing to it." "Fine." He replied, "Whatever." "Then let's go!" Shippo said, "I'm hungry." "You're always hungry." Inuyasha mumbled.
As Miroku had thought, the inn was very prosperous and willing to give them board and food for a night if Miroku would get rid of the 'dark cloud'. "Not a bad haul." Miroku said looking around the room. There was plate after plate of food on a large table in the middle of the room. The others were already eating.
"The food's good!" Shippo exclaimed, "Come try it, Miroku!" "I believe I will." He replied taking a piece of sushi. "How many shards did we get from this search?" Sango asked, "It didn't seem like many." "Five." Kagome replied holding up her little jar, "One of them is really large too! It was worth the trip."
She got up and looked out the window. "Such a pretty night." she commented sighing happily. "How can you say it's pretty?!" Inuyasha exclaimed, "It's the new moon! Doesn't sound so pretty to me!" "But it is!" she insisted, "The sky's clear. No rain. It's the perfect temperature. Everything's just right." "Except the moon's missing." He pointed out. She scowled at him and turned back to the window.
There were some clatters of hooves and wheels outside. "There's a carriage coming." Kagome said. There was. The carriage looked as if it belonged to someone very rich. It was painted a dark royal blue. The wheels were golden. It was pulled by two pure white horses. The group gathered around the window.
"Who could be in there?" Shippo asked. "Someone rich and important." Miroku replied. "Well that's obvious!" The kitsune replied. "If this place is good enough for rich and important people, we're leaving as soon as possible." Inuyasha said. "Why?" Kagome asked. "Places like this make me think of Sesshoumaru." He replied. "And you don't want to think of him." she finished.
"You've got it." Inuyasha said nodding, "I'm going to sleep so that I wake up not helpless a little sooner." "What ever you want to do." Shippo said, "I want to see who's gonna get out of the carriage!" "It's too late." Sango said sighing, "It's out of view. We'll never know." "Ooooh!" he whined. "It's your bedtime anyway." Kagome said. "It's everyone's bedtime." Sango corrected yawning, "Knowing Inuyasha he'll have us up before the sun, looking for more shards."
