Sango woke up with Miroku's hand on her thigh. Rolling her eyes, she shoved him away and yawned drowsily. She paused for a second before shaking Miroku awake.

"Wha..?" he mumbled, sitting up, his hair mussed in a way that made him look absolutely adorable.

Sango ignored it and instead said in a panicked voice "Where's Kagome and Inuyasha?"

Miroku's eyes snapped back open and his hand moved away from Sango thigh and back to his side "Shit."

They simultaneously heard the faint screams coming from the paddock beside them.

As they sprinted in the direction of the voices, the screams became clearer and they could hear the words.

"…you…you BASTARD! I can't believe I ever thought…"

"Me?! You're the one that ran off with that MUTT without even explaining…"

Sango and Miroku got there just in time to see Kagome's face contort into an incredulous expression.

"I ran off?!?! SIT!" she yelled moving closer to the fallen hanyou "After all that you said last night, you left to your precious Kikyo!"

He gaped "How did…"

"SIT! I saw them, you idiot! SIT! You didn't even tell me the truth!" she yelled, tears welling up over her eyelashes "She's dead! Why can't you move on Inuyasha?! I'm here and I'm alive…"

Miroku gasped at the mention of Kikyo being dead. If there was one way to set the hanyou off completely, this was a sure fire way.

"What?! You?!" Inuyasha scoffed, his eyes flashing red "We don't need you here Kagome" he spat her name like it was poison "You're just a nuisance."

"Th…that's not what you said last night" she stammered.

"Kikyo's a better fighter than you; she's the REAL protector of the shards. YOU'RE NOT NEEDED! YOU'RE AN ANNOYANCE!" he yelled at her.

"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" Kagome screamed, her tears flowing freely now "Fine you love-sick asshole! I'm going and I'm NOT coming back."

She headed towards the forest, running as fast as she could. Sango tried to follow her but knew that it was no use, she couldn't keep up with her and it was probably better that she had a couple of hours to herself. She would have to come back through their camp to get to the well and then they would talk.

Miroku took one look at the groaning Inuyasha, still rooted to the ground and walked away in disgust, not bothering to help him up or even talk to him.

Miroku went to find Sango and saw her on the each of the forest, Kagome having disappeared into it. They walked back to the camp together in silence. Inuyasha had disappeared and they were glad otherwise things could have got quite nasty.

Night started to fall and Inuyasha returned and sat by the campfire. He ignored Sango and Miroku, who ignored him in return. Miroku could feel the heat of Sango's anger coming off her in waves and decided this was not the time to feel her up and risk getting beaten to death.

Kagome had still not returned.

They tried to stay awake until she returned but they ended up falling asleep, Sango's head on the monks shoulder.

Inuyasha fell asleep soon after. At around about 3am, Kagome walked into the camp. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying and she was exhausted to the point of nearly fainting, but she didn't rest. Instead she knelt beside her best friend and the monk and placed 4 letters onto their laps, one for each of them, one for Shippo when he returned, and one for Kouga.

She kissed them both gently on the cheek and smiled as Miroku's hand crawled up Sango's leg, which Kagome swatted away for her friends sake.

She collected some of the stuff she had to take back and went to leave. Halfway to the well she stopped and put her stuff down. With hot tears running down her face for the millionth time that day, she walked over to the sleeping hanyou. Bending down, she carefully undid the enchanted necklace around his neck, knowing that it was only she who could remove it. She put it on the ground beside him to do with it what he wanted.

"Now" she whispered "There is nothing connecting me to you."

And she left.

A/N Hey just so you guys don't kill me, you need to remember that this story isn't supposed to be non stop funny and the next few chapters are quite serious! I'm sorry but I couldn't think of any other way to do it!
