Chapter IIII "Boredom and a Surprise Guest"

The new day dawned bright and golden, though the moods of those inside the small hut were somewhat stormy. Breakfast was eaten in silence, and even Shippou seemed agitated. But when you had spent half the night being caught in the crossfire of arguments and the throwing of everything imaginable, you never woke up in a pleasant mood. Kaede finally shooed everyone out of the hut, annoyed with the young people lazing about. The youth sat outside, Inuyasha in a tree surveying everyone from above, while Miroku leaned against a log and Shippou lay atop it. Sango was sitting on the grass playing with Kirara, whilst Kagome lay on her back staring blankly at the clouds. Silence prevailed for several minutes until Inuyasha exclaimed in an annoyed and whining tone- "Kagome! Can't you sense a shard er somethin'?" Kagome closed her eyes for a split second then shook her head "nope..." "Well what are we supposed to do then?" Miroku wondered aloud, looking about in boredom. Shippou groaned "I swear you people always have to have something attacking you to make you happy don't you?" His reply was simply the following: "Hey Kagome...." "Hmm?" "Sense one yet?" ".....nope...." "Grrrr" Shippou growled and rolled over trying to fall asleep. A young traveler came upon the scene; he stumbled towards them and fell to the ground from dehydration. Kagome gasped and began asking him if he was alright while Sango ran to fetch Kaede. Inuyasha growled in slight jealousy, as Kagome lifted the man's head onto her lap and brushed the raven black strands of hair from his handsome face. He uttered a few incoherent words before falling back into unconsciousness; Kagome squinted her eyes and cocked her head "I could have sworn he said something about Sango..." Kaede quickly came to kneel beside the man, feeling his wrist for a pulse and looking at his eyes. She instructed Inuyasha and Miroku to carry him inside and Kagome to go fetch some water. Inuyasha hoisted the man over his shoulder, happy to get him away from Kagome, who ran in the opposite direction to get a water bottle from her bag. They all surrounded him in the dimly lit hut in curiosity, after giving him some of Kagome's water, and a green tinted herbal mixture, Kaede said he needed rest now. Sango had gone to fetch some lunch since Kaede was currently busy with her patient, and suddenly came through the door. She placed the food beside Kagome and looked at the man "Is he doing O- ......" her sentence stopped midrift as she stared at him in shock. "Shi-Shirou?" she whispered hoarsely, her eyes filling with tears as she brought a hand to her mouth. "You know him Sango?" Miroku asked rising to place a hand on her shoulder. Sango just grabbed Kagome's shirt sleeve and pulled her outside the hut. Miroku watched for a moment in surprise before looking back to the man and wondering what his significance once was in Sango's life.

Sango pulled Kagome to sit beneath a tree and gasped for a breath she had been holding. "Sango what's up? Do you know him?" Kagome asked lightly placing a hand on her friends shoulder caringly. Sango sighed "Remember the guy I told you about? The one I was to marry?" Kagome nodded and a feeling of illness came with realization. "The one that cheated on you?" Sango nodded softly looking at the ground, and sighing. "But I thought you said you beat him up and it was over." Kagome reasoned "You don't still love him do you?" Sango sighed and looked up at her friend "That's the version of the story I like to tell....but he actually left after he knew I found out, he said he couldn't stand seeing me so sad......we all got word he had been killed so I got over him....I had no idea...." Tears suddenly flowed freely from her tight hold on them and she tried to regain her breathing yet again. Kagome comforted her friend the best she could before escorting her back into the hut and telling her to take a nap for her own good.

Miroku looked back to the young man lying on the futon "Interesting..." one could hear fragmented shards of jealously dancing on the edge of his voice. Kagome had come and explained about Sango's long lost love in seriousness. Shippou looked to the mans face and sighed "He certainly is going to be surprised to see her again..." As if it were a signal his eyes popped open and he blinked for several seconds before sitting up in a flurry. He looked around then reached out to grab Kagome collar and asked "Where am I?" Inuyasha detached his hand in anger and explained "We saved yer life, you could be little nicer ya know!" His face softened and he apologized "Forgive my adruptedness fair maiden, but I was fearful of waking up in an unfamiliar place." Kagome giggled and flushed 'He can't be that bad if he's got such great taste!' Inuyasha tried to swallow the welling jealousy, but Kagome's lack of sits oddly had caused his back and muscles to be tighter than usual. "I....I thought I saw a woman I once knew before I passed out, can you tell me of you know a Sango? She is most likely a demon exterminator as her family, but I went to the village and all that was there was a bunch of graves, the place was completely demolished." Kagome felt ill, she wasn't sure she could tell him how everyone had been slaughtered, and she didn't know if Sango could handle him here. Miroku seemed to sense this and explained for her, but not telling him Sango was there. "I see..everyone killed?" He murmured, staring at his slightly trembling hands. "What of Sango?" He said looking to them desperate for an answer. "She's napping in there right now, but maybe you can see her lat-" Shippou stated only to be nearly trampled as he jumped up and ran towards the place Sango slept. Miroku and Inuyasha tried to stop him but he was too fast, and was by Sango's side instantly. Her chocolate eyes fluttered open and she looked confused for a moment "Shirou?" she murmured. He took her hand tightly in his and nodded "I'm here Sango-chan, don't worry, I'll never leave you again." She sat up and stared at him for a moment before he enveloped her in a warm hug, causing those at the door to stare. Kagome almost melted onto the floor and in a slightly envious tone murmured "Why do all the futile aged girls get all the romance?" Inuyasha growled "Kagome get you mind outta the gutter.....baka onna!" This resulted in a full fledged argument with Kagome barely reframing the many 'sits' who sat lonely in her mouth. Miroku meanwhile watched the scene before him and felt his cheeks coloring. He couldn't help but see himself holding the girl, her eyes closed and a slight smile on her face as she rested her head on his shoulder, still slightly groggy from sleep. He excused himself in a rush, leaving Shippou to watch the heated match, and romantic scene. "Why?" He murmured inhaling deeply the fresh air outside. "Why does she make me feel so differently.......other girls, I never have felt this way........I actually want to protect her, instead of use her." The monk had never felt so confused in his life, and the jealousy and hopelessness just kept coming as the sight of Sango in Shirou's arms kept coming back to him. He frowned and sighed deeply "Women.......what a oddity..."
