Chapter one: The big box
________________________________________________________________________
It had been 1 year since Sango, Miroku, and Shippo had seen Inuyasha and Kagome. They remember them going into the well, saying good bye as the wanted to start a life of their own. They said they would come back soon. How soon? Sango didn't know, but every day she went down to the well...sitting beside it, hoping her friends would return. "Come on Sango, if they do come back they would find us, quit wasting your time." Miroku told her. She sighed. "Fine...maybe I'll visit the well only once a week!" It was Miroku's turn to sigh. Her obsession with the well annoyed him. She spent more time at them well then with him. Miroku was jealous. But of course he wouldn't tell her that!
Even through the past year, Sango and Miroku were still single. Shippo tried to hint to Sango about her and Miroku but got yelled at and thrown out the window by a blushing Sango who then started cleaning like a mad woman (which was unlike her). On the next trip down to the well (a week later), Miroku decided to go with Sango...and of course Shippo followed slowly behind, watching their every move. (Miroku called Shippo his little matchmaker ^_^) As they made their way towards the well, they all stopped. "!" They all ran into the bushes, including Shippo. Something was different this week at the well...and it wasn't good. "Inu-!" Shippo was cut off by Miroku who quickly put his hand
Over Shippo's mouth. "Shh! Hey, what are you doing here???" Miroku whispered harshly. "Um...I...wanted...to...come to?" Shippo lied quietly. "Hmph!" Was all Miroku said, but noticed Sango was gazing more intently at what was going on at the well. Inuyasha was standing there...holding something, they couldn't see, his back was to them, and there was something new at the well! There was a large rectangle box that looked...like...a coffin?!? Sango's heart skipped a beat. Miroku noticed it as well, getting nervous and tightening his grip on Shippo, who didn't know what was going on, and was having trouble breathing. Shippo bit Miroku's hand with his small sharp teeth to get free from his
iron grip. "OW!" Miroku said with a yelp, throwing Shippo at Sango, who caught him just in time. "Shut up Miroku!" Sango whispered to him. They looked back at Inuyasha. He must have heard something, for he turned towards them, his little white ears twitched. Even though Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were a good 50 feet away, Inuyasha had amazing hearing. When Inuyasha turned towards them they then saw what he was holding. Inside a bundle of white cloth, a baby lay in his arms. Sango gasped with delight. The baby had a few white hairs, large brown eyes, and...Small white ears? Shippo giggled seeing the baby's ears. "It looks like Inuyasha!" he whispered. Miroku wasn't looking at the baby.
"Guys...he's crying!" Miroku said with shock. It was true, they looked at Inuyasha's face and a few stray tears were running down his cheek, his eyes were filled with sadness as he turned back towards the box, and sat next to it, holding the baby tight. "Hey Sango?" Shippo said, his voice wavering. "What do you think is in that box?" Sango swallowed...she didn't think, she knew. The reason the box was there, the reason Inuyasha cried, the reason he held the baby so tight, the reason he was here. Kagome was dead. A tear slid down Sango's cheek. "I don't know Shippo..." She managed to say, before more tears fell down. Miroku knew it too. Shippo didn't want to believe it, Kagome
was like a mother to him...she couldn't be gone...what happened??? "Well....should we go down there?" Shippo asked looking at the place where Inuyasha sat. "No Shippo...lets just go home..." Miroku said standing up, Sango and Shippo followed. Sango took one last look behind her to see Inuyasha run off into the woods with the baby. "Wait you guys...he left." Sango said turning back towards the well. She walked out of the bushes. Miroku and Shippo followed cautiously behind her. "Sango are you sure, maybe we could come another day, and I mean, Inuyasha just left, he could be near by..." Miroku rambled. "She's our friend we have every right to see her and say our goodbyes!" Sango shouted at him.
They slowly walked towards the box (coffin!) and Sango saw it was beautifully detailed. It was a deep mahogany wood, with flowers carved into it every where. Sango smiled sadly, Kagome would have liked to see that. Sango reached for the lid. "Sango..." Miroku said slowly, but she threw a threatening glare at him, and started to lift it. Inside there lay Kagome in a gorgeous white dress, her raven hair smoothed out, one lock over her shoulder. Her hands her folded on her stomach, and she wore no shoes, but Miroku noticed underneath her head was one of Inuyasha's shirts, folded into a pillow. He smiled softly. "I'll miss you Kagome..." He said, and then saw Sango, sobbing with Shippo.
He closed the lid of the coffin. "Let's go home." Miroku said, picking up Shippo and holding out a hand to Sango. She looked up, and blushed a little, grabbed it, and he pulled her off the ground, and they walked home in silence.
Inuyasha watched them leave. "Good bye you guys…" he said quietly and ran off, deeper into the forest…
