2 princes Chapter 7
K, i will not bore you with an author's note today. This takes place immediatly after the end of the last chapter.
Sango was worried. She and Miroku had sent Shippu and Kagome off that morning, with the promise that they would be back to Sango's for dinner. Sango was on the road a lot, obviously, but she had thought it wise to have a place to stay in the village. And it was not raining, and it was getting late, and Kagome had not come back.
Shippu had come back, dripping wet, saying that Kagome would be right in. That had been over an hour ago. The storm had worsened.
"Maybe I should go after her." Sango had never seen Miroku so worried about another person. He could not sit still.
"no. Inuyasha is probably with her. It would not be good to lose all of you to the storm..."
Just then, the door burst open. It had been kicked forcefully. Lightning falshed, and a tired, haggred Kyu entered. He held Kagome in his arms. She was unconsious. Both were sopping wet.
"here... get her dry.... I have to go..."
"NANI? Go where? In this storm? You'll catch your death of cold!"
"I have to go... to find Inuyasha... I... his arm... it looked broken..."
Sango looked at him for a minute. She saw that this was important to him. And Kagome needed care, they couldn't bicker with him for half an hour...
"Go, then. But promise me you'll come back. For her sake."
"I promise. Tell Kagome.... that I love her.... if I'm not back when she wakes up."
"you WILL come back?"
"I will. It may take me a while. I'll be alright. I have to go find him... and a Hanyou can hide very well... Take care of Kagome for me..."
And he turned and left. Sango immediatly turned her thoughts to her friend. "Miroku! We need a stronger fire than that if we want to get Kagome warm! And I'll grab towels and clean clothes. Set up a cot first, then tend to the fire." And she went into her bedroom to find things for Kagome to wear.
They set up a cot in front of the fire and laid her flat on it. They did their best to dry her off, and Sango made Miroku leave the room while she put drier things on her. Finally, the warmpth rousd Kagome. "Wha... Where.... Inuyasha...."
"Kagome! you're alright! Kyuketsuki brought you in a while ago, sopping wet. He went out to look for Inuyasha. He promised he'd be back, and said to tell you he loved you. I've been so worried! Do you need anything? are you hungry?"
"no..."
They sat on her cot for a while, still waiting. Shippu fell asleep at the window. Finally, Kagome said, tentitivly, "Sango?"
"yes?"
"I.. I'm.. I..." and she burst into tears. And Sango came over to the cot and sat on it, and held her friend until the tears subsided. And the two women waited, holding on to each other, waiting for Kyu or Inuyasha to come through the door.
Near midnight, they heard a small knock. They looked at each other, then Sango opened the door. Outside stood Inuyasha. He looked into the small room, a half-wild look in his eyes.
"Kagome..." he said, then made a small wimpering noise and stumbled into the room and onto her cot. His arm was at a funny angle, probabaly broken. And he was in his human form, as it was the full moon. He looked scared and alone and... small. He and KAgome embraced, and held each other, until Inuyasha fell asleep. They set up another cot for him, next to Kagome's. And all seemed well, and after a while, Kagome fell asleep. But one man did not return to Sango's that night.
