The reunion was tearful.
And joyous.
"We thought you were dead! It's been months!" Sango cried; strong arms wrapped around Kagome's neck.
"Sorry, Sango," she whispered. "It took longer than I thought it would."
"Did you find what you needed, Lady Kagome?" Miroku inquired as Kagome was handed into his embrace.
A smile. A nod.
A twitching eye.
A resounding smack.
"Lecherous monk!"
Meanwhile, Rin was trying to keep her emotions behind a mask.
But her lord could see through her.
"Rin."
A sweeping arm opened gracefully.
And she ran into his embrace with fervor.
"I'm so glad you're back."
