She brought a tray of cupcakes as a peace offering.
Miroku answered the door, surprisingly enough, and when he saw her, let out one of his largest grins.
"It's good to see you again, Kags. Sango's been sulking for weeks." he winked, letting her know that he didn't hold anything against her.
"Yeah." she smiled wanly. "I've missed you guys. It's been too quiet."
Miroku became more serious, and he gently stroked one of her cheeks, nothing but concern in his eyes.
"Don't do something like this again, alright?" he chided. "We're worried about you."
"Sorry." she managed to plaster on a cheerful smile. "I'm trying. It's just a little hard, is all."
"Miroku, who's at the door?"
Miroku snatched the tray of cupcakes out of Kagome's hands while calling over his shoulder, "Why don't you come find out?"
Sango appeared momentarily, looking, to put it mildly, like hell. She looked haunted, but as she saw Kagome, her eyes widened.
"Kags?" she whispered, looking vulnerable in that single moment.
"Hey, Sango." Kagome replied, tears clogging up her throat. "It's been a while."
Before she knew what the hell was going on, Sango had thrown herself at Kagome, wails erupting from her in nonsense.
"I'm sorry!" she cried. "I'm so sorry!"
Kagome wrapped her arms around her best friend and hugged tightly.
"I know." she whispered.
