"That's awful!" Sango cried, trying to comfort the witch as she sat by her side, completly understanding how the woman felt at the moment.

"Naraku also has dear Sango's brother captive, as well." Miroku admitted, watching as Yukiko looked to the slayer with a questionable glance.

Sango nodded her head, looking to the sky as her thoughts fluttered to her younger brother, Kohaku.

"He's had him for quite some time now... I miss him terribly."

Yukiko stared at the slayer with a saddened expression. Her eyes then strayed over to the priestess of the group, the girl named Kagome. Her eyes softened greatly as she saw the great burden she had caused. She looked over to the hanyou, who was staring at her.

"What?" He asked, sounding somewhat annoyed at her.

"Oh, I'm sorry... I was just going to ask for my bag." She blushed, hanging her head as she tried not to make eye contact with the hanyou.

"Feh, like it makes any difference to me." He snorted, tossing her the bag. She yelped falling over as she barely caught it.

"What are you doing, Yukiko-chan?" Rin came up and asked, sitting next to her as Shippou followed suite.

"I'm looking for my spell book." She admitted, pulling out the giant brown book.

"Spell book? What is that for?" Shippou asked, leaning over top of Rin's head to look into the book.

Yukiko smiled and looked over to the slayer, then to the dog turned priestess.

"I've got to make this right!" She smiled with determination, burrowing her nose into her book.
