So here you go:

Chapter six

Who knew

All was quiet for what seemed like an eternity…Kagome did not know what to say to him. 'Will we ever have any peace? I hope this is not a trap, oh Inuyasha.'

'I guess I have no choice, it could very well be a trap but I have no choice something has to be done. I cannot continue to let Naraku get his way. I must risk it for the safety of everyone, and maybe we can finally go home.' He turned to look at Kagome. Concern was written all over her face. "Kagome we have no choice I have to go and find this part of me that is missing. I have to risk it."

"Inuyasha we'll go together, I knew you'd make the right decision. I don't know what we may find out there so please don't disagree, I wouldn't want to be sitting here worrying about for God knows how long you would be gone."

"Kagome I…"

"Inuyasha don't fight with me on this you won't win. I'm going and that's final."

He laughed to himself inward, it was impossible to change her mind when she was set on something. "Ok"

She smiled, "Thank you."

"Besides don't worry about the village, we'll look after it for you," Sango said walking up to them. "That is Miroku and I, Kaede's herbs are incredible. He's already walking around groping the women in the village that leech."

"Sango, you heard?" Kagome asked.

"Somewhat, I caught the last part of what you guys were saying to each other, something about journeying some where for Inuyasha to find his missing part. Just do not make me worry about you. Come back soon," she said kneeling next to Kagome and embracing her. "I just got you back and you're leaving me again. Be careful, ok?"

"Don't worry Sango; Inuyasha is with me nothing will happen. We'll be back before you know it."

"Yeah, I hope so."

"Anyways, we are not leaving for another three days. So don't even think about turning the water works on now," Inuyasha said glaring at Sango.

They both turned to look at him and laughed.

"What?!!!"

"Nothing!" they said in unison. Inuyasha was completely dumfounded as to why they were laughing.

"Women" he murmured.

"Can't live with them, can't live without them," Miroku continued putting his arm on Inuyasha's shoulder.

"Ack!!!! What…where..Oh never mind," Inuyasha said.

Sango and Kagome just continued to laugh at him, Miroku joined them. Soon everyone was laughing including Inuyasha. This was one of those rare moments where they could all enjoy each other's company in peace.

Two peaceful days followed everyone relaxed and had fun. It wan now the night before Inuyasha and Kagome were to leave and Kagome and Sango where bathing in the hot spring.

"So Kagome, Inuyasha and you have become really closed since coming here."

"Yeah, he is back to the little boy we all knew and loved. It makes me wonder if he will change when we get to returned home. I hope not…I really care about him a lot."

"I wish I could say the same about Miroku, but at least he's being to me."

"I thought he was always nice to you then, except for all the groping."

"Oh I know, that's not what I meant. I was referring to the groping. He does not grope me as much but I cannot say the same for the women of the village. I swear he can't keep his hands to himself."

Kagome laughed, "Jealous are we? Missing all the special attention."

"WHAT NO WAY!!!"

Kagome continued to laugh, "Uh hu sure you're not."

"Kagome!!!" then she began to laugh too. They started a splashing war we each other. Then they heard a rustling in the bushes.

"Kagome did you hear that?"

"Yeah, it better not be Miroku."

"OH THAT DAMN PERVERT!!! MIROKU THIS IS NOT FUNNY!!!" Sango shouted throwing a rock in the bush, but nothing happen. Usually he would come out or complain about being hit with a rock.

"Miroku?" the questioned. "This is not funny," they said getting on and rapidly changing into their kimonos.

They crept closer to bush, as they approached, they noticed a pair of red eyes starring back at them.

"A youkai!!!" they yelled springing back. It came out of the bushes and sprang at Sango.

"Kyaaaaa!!!" she screamed dodging it, for some reason it kept flying at Sango. "Kagome!!"

"Uhm…Sango what is it?"

"I would tell you if I could but I can't see it very well, it's small though. Either way I don't care, just get it away from me."

"What's going on here?" Inuyasha said as he landed next to them, he had heard Sango's scream. He sensed the presence of youkai too.

"A youkai," Kagome said. "It's after Sango, it keeps springing at her. It's too dark we can't tell what it is, can you see it?"

"It smells like a cat youkai, it's strong but I don't sense an evil aura from it."

"What does it want?" Miroku asked standing next to Sango.

"How do you keep doing that?" Sango asked.

"Doing what?"

"Never mind Sango said as it sprang at her again," she dodge it and Inuyasha was able to catch it by the tail.

"This is what you were getting all excited about?" he asked holding it out in front of her. It was small youkai that resemble a cross between a cat and a fox with two tails that had stripes on them.

"Awww how cute," Kagome and Sango said looking at it.

It clawed at his hand and he dropped it. It bounced to the ground and sprang at Sango landing in her arms.

"You look familiar," Sango said looking at the small youkai in her arms. "Do I know you?"

As if to answer her question it meowed at nuzzled her neck.

"He he that tickles," Sango cried. Then it her, she knew who it was. "Kirara!!!" she said holding her to close to her. "Oh my gosh, how did you find me. I am so glad you are alive, I had forgotten about you. I'm so sorry."

"Sango you know this youkai?" Kagome asked.

"Yes, we use to travel together in the past exterminating youkai."

"Oh wow, I'm so happy that she found you then. Sango this awesome," Kagome exclaimed.

"Yeah," she said happily.

"Aww Sango if only you would hold me like that," Miroku said with a pervert look in his eyes and we all know where his hand went.

Rub rub, "Pervert!!!" Sango yelled.

"Miroku!!!" Kagome and Inuyasha said unison clobbering him in the head. Kirara sprang from Sango landing softly on the ground.

"Kirara? What is the matter? Don't tell me you're leaving me already."

She meowed at her and motioned for her to follow with her tail. "Ok"

They all followed Kirara to the middle of a small clearing not far from the village. "Ok now what?" Sango asked.

Without warning, she transformed into her larger form startling everyone but Sango. Inuyasha sprung in to action mode ready to fight if necessary.

"Inuyasha calm down," Sango said. "She is not an enemy and this is not a trap. Kirara conceals her form to save energy and only transforms when necessary."

He was not convince but Kagome held on to him telling him to calm down, he did so reluctantly. They all looked at Kirara waiting to see what she would do next.

She began digging a whole in the ground, making them all jump back. She dug for what seemed like forever until she found what she was looking for. When she came out she had two things in her mouth. A staff and a giant boomerang.

"Hiratsou!!" Sango screamed. (I have no idea how to spell that) "How did you know it was there? I had no idea what happened to it."

"My staff," Miroku chimed.

Kirara dropped their weapons to the ground and began to close the whole she had made in the ground. Meanwhile Sango and Miroku were inspecting their weapons.

"It's exactly the same as I left it, nothings change." Sango said. "Thank you Kirara."

Miroku said nothing. He remembered why they were buried there, and did not feel like talking about it. Kirara walked over to him once she was done, and nudge him with her head but he did not respond. He only padded her head and turned to leave to the village. Everyone stared after him.

"What's the matter with him?" Kagome asked. She stepped to go after him, but Inuyasha stopped her. She looked up at him confused but he only shook his head. She was about to asking him why but he put a finger to her lips, mouthing tell you later.

Sango watch him go, asking her self the same question. She walked over to Kirara and they all started walking back to the village quietly.

They walked into Kaede's hut but found that Miroku was not there. Inuyasha left to go find him while Sango and Kagome settled in for the night.

"Kagome what happened out there, one minute he's fine and the next he gets all quiet?"

"I have no idea but I'm sure he'll talk to us soon, you know how he is. Give him time he'll talk to you."

"I hope so."

"Yeah," Kagome yawned. "we'll that was an eventful night and I have an interesting day tomorrow so I'm off to bed. Goodnight Sango,"

"Night Kagome," she yawned going into the room that strangely enough had now become hers and Miroku.

Meanwhile outside by a hill overlooking Inuyasha's forest.

"Miroku? Why did you leave? I remember what happened and how they came to be there but you have to know that it was not you fault. You have to tell her, it would be best," he said walking up to him from behind.

"I know Inuyasha but I was just overwhelmed by the memories. That old pain just resurfaces and I needed to get away. I don't know how to tell her what happened."

"Miroku," he said sitting down next to him.

"Inuyasha, I never got the chance to tell her how I felt then. I do not want to screw it now but I cannot control myself when I am around her. I do not know, what if she blames me for what happened. How can I tell her, how can I look her in the eyes."

"Miroku…you know it wasn't your fault. No one blames you, not even kirara and if she does not blame you what makes you think Sango will. Miroku we have been give a second chance, do not let pass you by. Tell her how you feel, let her know what happened. Believe it or not, Sango really cares about you. She will understand, but you will never know unless you tell her. Believe in her, believe in yourself."

"I know but I need time,"

"Yeah I know but don't take forever. We never know what tomorrow brings and with the way things are around here, you know when Naraku will attack. Don't let history repeat itself," with that, he gave him a pat on the back and walked back to the hut.

"Thanks Inuyasha," Miroku murmured. He staid there starring into the forest before heading back to the village. "You can come out you know, I know you've been there the whole entire time."

Kirara bounded out from the bushes and jumped into his arms. She meowed and licked his face in comfort as if to let him know that she indeed did not blame him. "Well at least I know you are on my side, but I need time for Sango." Kirara gave him one more lick before settling in his arms as he walked to the hut.

Inuyasha walked into his and Kagome's room to find her struggling with something in her sleep. Ever since Naraku's last attack she had been having nightmares, which she claimed she didn't remember when he woke her up. The strangest thing is that she only had them when he wasn't near her, as soon as soon as he got to close her she would calm down.

"Kagome," he said as he gently shook her. "Kagome wake up, Kagome."

She continued to struggle. "Stop…leave me alone…it's not true, never!!!" she shouted before she opened her eyes. She found herself looking into the golden orbs she loved most in the world. "Inuyasha," cried as she threw her arms around him.

"Kagome why won't you tell me what's in your dreams, I'm really worried about you. How can I help you if you won't tell me?"

"I don't remember what happened?" she lied turning her head away from him. "I just don't remember," she said burying her face in his chest, holding onto him tightly.

"Kagome," he said holding her tightly. 'I wish she would tell me, I know she is lying but there is nothing I can do until she tells me. Why won't you tell me? What is he doing to you?' "Let's get some sleep, we have a long journey ahead of us starting tomorrow."

"Yeah," she said holding on to him. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be, I know you'll tell me in time."

"Night, sweat dreams my love."

"Sweat dreams Inuyasha."

In the morning…

"OH Kagome take care…don't hold back on stuff and let Inuyasha help you in any way he can," Sango whispered to her as she they hugged.

"Same to you, give Miroku a chance. Talk to him and let him know how you feel," Kagome replied.

"Yo Miroku remember what I said. We'll be back before you know it."

"Yeah I know…it'll be hard but it has to be done. Take care don't let anything happen to Kagome."

"I will," he said looking at Kagome. "Come on Kagome we better get going."

"Ok" she said letting go of Sango. "Kaede please look after Miaka. I don't know where she is so I can't say goodbye to her. I know how she feels," Kagome said.

"I will child. Take care and have a safe journey. Don't worry everything will be alright."

"See ya soon!!!" she waved back as they started to leave the village.

"Bye!!!" Sango called from where she stood next to Miroku, until they were no longer in sight. "I hope they will be alright."

"They will be, we have to be hopeful."

They headed back into Kaede's hut to prepare for the day.

"Inuyasha I feel bad about Miaka. I know what she is thinking and I know she keeps having those dreams that we will leave her like her parents. I feel awful," Kagome stated as she walked beside him.

"I know…she's hiding. She didn't want to see us off. Don't worry she'll be all right, we won't be gone long I hope. Kaede will look after her. Though like you I would have liked to have said something to her," taking a hold of her hand.

"Yeah," Kagome said.

"Wait a minute," he said as he sniffed the air. "I smell her, she is nearby. Very close to, be precise. Miaka where are you? Come out I can smell you I know you are here," he called.

"Come out sweetie, talk to us. We didn't want to leave without saying something to you. Would you talk to us?"

"You are leaving me," she as she stepped out from the bushes she was hiding in. "You promised you wouldn't leave me like my parents."

"We are not leaving you Miaka," Kagome said she walked up to her and picked her up. "We are only going away for a little bit and we'll be back before you know it. We wouldn't leave you, we love you too much."

"I don't want you to go. Please don't go," she cried as she held onto Kagome. "I'll be all alone."

"No you won't," Inuyasha said whipping her tears. "You have uncle Miroku and aunt Sango here with you. They'll be there for you while we are away. They love you as much as we love you."

"Please don't go. I'll be a good girl, I won't hide from you, please!!" she continues to cry.

"Miaka…look at me," Inuyasha said. She didn't look at him she had her eyes closed and clung tightly to Kagome. "Come sweetie look at me."

Slowly she opened her teary eyes and looked at him. "I love you sweetie. You are like a daughter to me, you have to believe me when I say that we will never leave you. We are going away for a few days to take care of some business but we will return."

Kagome passed her onto Inuyasha as she reached out for him. This child was extremely attached to him and Inuyasha was the only one that could calm her down when she felt sad. She loved Kagome but loved Inuyasha even more. "Promise!!!"

"Would I lie to you," he smiled as he held her. "I promise I'll come back!!!"

Miaka continued to cry, "I'll miss you. You have to play with me when you come back. Please don't let anything happen to you…remember you promised…you too sister Kagome."

Kagome gave a quick kiss on the forehead and stroked her hair gently before Inuyasha took off to take her back to the village. When he landed in front of Kaede's hut Kaede came out surprised to see him back, but she understood once she was Miaka.

"Be a good girl or I won't play with you when I come back. I want to hear nothing but good news. Remember I love you," Inuyasha stated as he gave a quick hug and a kiss on the forehead.

"Be back soon. I'm going to really miss you," she continued to cry.

"Wait I know," he said as he took off to his room. He went to where his uniform was and took out a ring he used to wear from his pocket. He found a string and tied to make a necklace with the ring hanging off of it. He came back and gave it to her saying, "when you get sad and miss me keep this and it will be like I'm there with you."

She smiled as she held it in her small palm. "Thank you"

"Now no more crying," he said as he wiped her tears with the sleeves of his fire rat kimono.

"Okay,"

"Love you very much," and with that he was gone to meet Kagome.

Well hope you guys liked it…the next chapter will be up soon as my brain gets back to working order. I'm done no more finals and school I can get ready to enjoy my summer. You guys know what to do…thanks.
