The rain spilled from the grey clouds covering any hope of finding a sent to lead the group in the right direction. Sango and Kagome talked under one pink and black umbrella as they followed along at the back of the group. Shippo sitting asleep in Kagomes folded arms and Kirara resting upon Sango's shoulder. The four made a cute, yet very funny picture. As they laughed and seemed to be unaware of the comedy in front of the most funny of the group is the half-demon Inuyasha as he knelt on all fours with his nose to the ground. His silver hair soaking mud and water from dragging beneath him ; and his red fire rat clothing soaked with rain water. Made the cute puppy look even more cute. Instead of a drowned cat the group has their own drowned puppy. A very unhappy drowned puppy. Miroku Leaning over Inuyasha staring intensely at the mud in front of inuyasha's face. The three traveling elder men, slowing inching their way around this odd yet very comical group. Couldn't help but feel fear as they hurry to get away.
" damn it, I can't get nothing now that the stupid ground is covered in water. Damn rain just had to fall right here. Right when I get that bastards sent!". Said Inuyasha as he jumps up from the ground nearly sending Miroku fly forward.
"So I can assume that means that we once again are lost?". Asks Miroku as he stands strait and takes a step back.
" We are not lost Miroku! The Rain Washed away the sent!". Inuyasha yells as he crosses his arms and turns to the path.
"What's going on guys?". Sango asks and the four other group members reach the two males.
"The rain washed away Narakus sent. It seems a storm is coming. We are going to have to take shelter and try to find another sign of him once the storm passes.". Says Miroku as he looks to sango.
" It looks like a thunder storm. We should hurry to a place that is safe.". Kagome says as she moves the umbrella and looks at the dark grey clouds. Then a loud boom follows and startles Shippo awake. Everyone looks to Inuyasha.
"There is a cave not far from here about half a mile back. I will carry Kagome and Shippo. Kirara can take Sango and Miroku. Inuyasha says and moves to let kagome onto his back.
" Kirara is still injured from the last battle. Take Miroku I will catch up. I remember where the Cave is.". Sango yells over the wind that has begun to grow.
" What are you saying? I can not let you travel alone.". Miroku argues as he looks to inuyasha for help.
" Mirokus right you three follow behind us. We will meet at the cave.". Inuyasha answers then jumps forward and continues on in a run. Giving Sango no time to argue.
Sango let a sigh escape as she watch Inuyasha disappear down the path with Shippo and Kagome. Then began to walk down the path in the same direction. With the thick forest on both sides of the dirt path. An hour past noon and the ever growing dark sky. Night seemed to fall. Yet this was another simple illusion created by nature. The three walked in awkward silence toward the cave they had found not more then an hour before.
"Sango, I've been meaning to speak with you alone.".
" I have nothing to say Miroku.".
" Well then, will you listen?".
" What could you say to me that your actions could not?".
" I'm sorry.".
" Sorry? For betraying my trust? For misleading me? I gave you everything. I said yes when you asked me to marry you. It was not enough. You did not stop in your lecherous ways. Then on the night that you promise me, that you would stop; I find you in the arms of another. You lied, you cheated, and now you wish for me to forget your wrongs against me with a simple sorry?". She says with cold eyes.
" Your right I do not deserve you.". His shame was visible on his face and in his body language as he whispers these word back to her.
" I ended our engagement, I ended us that night. I want nothing more than your friendship now Miroku. Yet even that will take time for me. Nothing you say to me now or in the future will change that. If you care for me like you say you do. Let it end with this please. I can't handle anymore heartbreak.". A tear slides down her cheek and blends with the rain; as she turns her face from his view and walks faster.
Sango stops and raises her hand to her Hirakotsu. Miroku also feeling the aura of a demon stops and tightens his hand around his staff.
" It is most fortunate for me, that this storm has caused you to split up. It makes this so much more easy.". A Dark voice sings from the right in the thick brush of the brown and green trees.
"Naraku, Show yourself!". Sango hisses back at the taunt.
" Oh but I have my dear Sango.". Naraku answers as three golums and a swarm of smayoshou move out of the trees and surround Sango, Miroku, and Kirara.

" Inuyasha do you think it was a good idea to let them be alone?". Kagome asks from the Hanyus back.
" Why not? Aren't they engaged?".
" Do you not know what happened? Miroku didn't tell you?".
" Tell me what? What are you talking about women?"
" He is such a jerk! Sango broke off the engagement two weeks ago. Miroku cheated on her with one of the villager girls from the last village we were at. She walked in on him. I can not believe he didn't tell you they were no longer to be married.".
" Serves him right damn lecher.".
" Inuyasha! Your so insensitive!".
" Will you stop screaming in my ear wench!".
" What did you call me!".
" Shut it And stop yelling at me damn it!"
" If you were not holding me I would SIT you BAKA!"
The ground shook when they hit. A crater the size of Inuyasha was left in the middle of the path. A couple of seconds pass, then minutes. In the crater you can see a flat hanyu with a surprised Kagome and Shippo sitting on its back. Then the crater explodes as the hanyu jumps to his feet and Kagome lands on her bottom with a snickering shippo in her arms.
" What the hell was that for wench!". A furious inuyasha yells at the still surprised girl sitting in the Inuyasha shaped crater.
" It was an accident. I'm sorry.". She said as she stood and walked out of the crater.
" Accident! Stupid wench!". He yelled.
" Don't call me that BAKA! She yelled back.
" Feh, whatever!" He said and turns to walk to the cave only a few feet away.

Lightning struck a tree catching it on fire. Black blood soaked the ground as sango and Miroku fought against the golums of Naraku. They had already defeated one but the other two were proving to be a problem. Both had received a fare share of wounds. Miroku was having trouble being unable to use his wind tunnel. Sango trying to protect Kirara and fight was having trouble defeating the golum that stood at least ten feet taller than she. The rain and wind made it almost impossible to aim her giant Hiraikotsu. So she had lost it during a previous attack. Now she was just using her katana. Holding Kirara in her left hand and her Katana in her right she fended off the many limbs of the gullom. Yet no matter how many she cut they continued to grow back. Leaving each of her attacks useless. The sound of Mirokus cry distracted her. She watched him fall unconscious. What was she going to do against two powerful golums? If the situation could get any worse, it did. The wound on her side was causing her a lot of pain and the blood loss was blurring her vision.
" Give up and I will leave the monk alive.". Naraku said through one of the gollums.
" What do you want from me!". Sango asks through clenched teeth.
" Become my slave sango.". He said back with a snicker.
" I have no choice but to give up.". A frown followed her words as she drops her katana.
Following her surrender to save the monks and Kiraras lives. The gullom struck the back of her neck and the last thing she heard was Miroku calling her name as the world of unconsciousness took her. What was going to happen to her now. Would she be able to see Kohaku who was currently being held by Naraku?
