Kagome got back to the task at hand...the letters. Once again a smile came to her face...she pulled out another letter....this time from Miroku.

My dearest kagome

we miss you greatly...your absents is deeply affecting everyone..even myself. Inuyasha has not left the well...shippo is still crying and Sango is very upset. We are all kinda at a lost. We are thankful for you help..but one might ask if it was worth losing a great friend. Inuyasha has asked us to write you letters...so my cursed hand is not on Sango's behind but writing you..you would be proud.

the monk Miroku.

Kagome's smile was even bigger...leave it to Miroku to write a cool letter. Once again she pulled out another from him and read it out loud for Sesshomaru to hear.

Dear Kagome~

Things have not changed much....but on good news I plan to ask Sango to marry me...wish you were here....Inuyasha comes and goes still. Sango has been doing a little better..I hope by showing her my love for her that she will be able to be somewhat happy. Wish me luck!

It was short..but he had writin her more letters...so on to the next one.

kagome!

It has been awhile since I wrote.....I saw Lord Sesshomaru the other day and it reminded me that I had forgotten to tell you something...Sango said she did not write you about it either. Kagome stopped reading and looked at Sesshomaru...then went back to reading Lord Sesshomaru came into camp not long after you left...looked for Inuyasha..and you. Odd how he acted....his Lordship would not shut up enough for us to tell him what had happen....he kept coming up with his own thoughts...I was able to get it out what had happen...but then...he just left...Odd don't you think?

anyway...miss you still Lady Kagome

Kagome put the letter away and looked at Sesshomaru "Do you remember that?"

"I remember everything Miko"

"Well"

"Well what miko?"

"What was that all about?"

"It is of no importance"

She gave him a flat look "I merely wished to ask the half breed on what his plans were"

"Mmmhmm" She didn't really understand..nor at this point did she care...he was right it was of no importance. Kagome then pulled another letter out from Miroku.

My lady Kagome

Sango is baring me a child!! You would come in hand right now :) Inuyasha comes and goes still...I'm not sure if you are reading my letter first or his...anyway...Sango I know wishes you were here. I will keep you posted. We gave not seen Shippo or Lord Sesshomaru in a long while...we pray they as you are in good health.

"Miroku sure did write short letters"

"It would seem the monks hand was better used in groping women" Sesshomaru said...he was not being funny but Kagome that it to be a good joke and laughed. Sesshomaru just raised a eyebrow. Kagome stopped after a moment and went on to read more

Dear Kagome

we have baby's! We are naming one of them after you....that's write I'm sure Sango told you...TWINS! I do hope these letters reach you. I have not seen Inuyasha...but he told us what to do with the letters when we were done with them. well I must be going...children call.

Then his last letter...

It has been years since I wrote...my children are grown Kagome...we pass Lord Sesshomaru time to time. I'm afraid I'm am living longer than I need time in place I wish to leave. I no long see Inuyasha...nor Lord Sesshomaru..or Shippo....I guess you want to know why Sango only wrote you a few times....she..she is not longer with us...and I hope that soon I can join her in the other world. We love and Miss you Kagome....and while you still breath and live many years past us...we die. love your monk Miroku.

Kagome slowly lowered the last letter from her friend...she was heartbroken all over again. "Sesshomaru?" She whispered. He knew what she was asking. "The slayer-

"HER NAME WAS SANGO" She said hard..not looking at him. "The one you call Sango died...not long after giving birth to there last child..one they named Inuyasha"

Kagome knew they would die...but it still hurt "She lived long for being a human in that time Miko..she was 39 I do believe"

"What...what about Miroku?" Kagome turned to Sesshomaru "He died long after her..protecting his youngest son Inuyasha....he was 57"

Back then those ages were old...in this time those ages were young...Kagome missed Miroku and his cursed hand....Kagome could miss him....Kagome could miss a monk from 500 years in the past...why? Because you can miss a monk you knew and traveled with...even if it was not in your time.
