Sad smiles.

The darkness surrounded him,
he was not sure where he was but he was aware of some
type of
familiarity,
he was sure he had been to this place before.
He tried to stand but it was as if someone was holding
him down,
he wanted to struggle but there was nothing left of
his strength so he
remained seated on the cold floor.
He moved his head slightly,
his eyes searching for something that would tell him
where he was,
but there was nothing.

Miroku opened his eyes and sighed, 'that dream again', he thought. 'What can it mean?' Every time he dreamt the dream it got alittle further on and he knew the next time he dreamt even more would be revealed. He yawned and stretched his arms above his head. From the position of the nearly rising sun, he figured it to be alittle after five, too early to wake the others, so he stayed where he was and closed his eyes. 'Where is it going to end? What can it mean?' He asked himself again, immersed in his own thoughts. He all but jumped to his feet when he felt something rub against his arm. His eyes shot open to see that it was only Kirara. He laughed quietly to himself and shook his head as he petted the creature.
"You have no idea how much you scared me then." He whispered. Kirara did not seem bothered and instead jumped into the monk's lap and started padding a soft spot to sleep. Miroku watched her, his left had rubbing her behind the ears. "I wonder, Kirara, what do you think about?" He asked, a lazy smile on his lips. Kirara just purred happily in his lap, quite content to listen to the monk as long as he continued rubbing her ears. "Do you think of your village as Sango does?" He continued, not really talking to the demon cat anymore, just thinking out loud. "Do you miss the people there?" He sighed and looked over to where the sun was slowly gaining height in the sky.
"Kirara? Kirara!" Miroku open an eye to see what he had already guessed, Sango struggling to get out of her sleeping bag thing, her eyes disparately
searching for Kirara.
"It's ok Sango, she's right here." He called to her in a quite voice. Sango gave him a puzzled look as she finally freed herself from her bag and made her way over to him. She stood behind him and peered over his left shoulder to see her pet now fast asleep. Miroku smiled and turned to her. "She wondered over a short while ago and we made a deal." Sango crouched next to him and gave the demon a tender pat. "She will listen to my woes so long as I rub her ears." Sango laughed which caused Miroku to smile again, so rare was it for her to laugh it was worth even this small token of recognition.
"I have made many a deal with her myself." She said, sitting beside him now. "She's a very good listener and she doesn't answer back either." Miroku nodded, his right hand still rubbing Kirara's ears. "Sometimes that can be a bad thing you know." This time, he looked at her.
"Is that your idea of subtlety?" He asked, unable to hide a smirk. She smiled at him then looked away.
"Just be thankful I'm not Inuyasha!" She said. Miroku let out a laugh, she was right, Inuyasha was about as subtle as a sledge hammer. "So?" She asked. He sighed and signed himself to the fact that he was going to end up telling her whatever happened. 'Might as well just give in' he thought.
"I had that same dream again." He began in a quiet and careful voice, not taking his eyes away from the sleeping form in his lap. "Every night there's alittle more, almost like a premonition, I get to see more every time I sleep."
"What exactly is this dream?" Sango asked. Miroku thought for a moment, he was not quite sure how to answer that question, he had not really thought about it in terms of 'what happened?', more like 'what can this mean?'
"I'm really not sure, it's very dark and I can't move. I know this place but I can't remember where from, not in the dream or when I wake."
"Maybe it is a premonition?" She said, hugging her knees to her chest. "Maybe all you can do is keep dreaming until you find the end." Miroku nodded but remained silent. 'The end?' He thought. 'I wonder what the end will be?' "Houshi-sama?" Sango asked. He shook his head and looked back to her, trying his best to appear unfazed but his words betrayed his appearance.
"I don't think I want to know the end." He whispered.
"What was that?" Sango asked, leaning closer to make sure she heard this time. Miroku smiled his sad smile and his right hand found her rear... "SUKEBE!!!"

Inuyasha sat on the roof of Keade's hut where he had spent the night protecting Kagome and Keade. He was wide awake now but was well aware that he needed less sleep than they did so he stayed put so as not to disturb them. He smirks to himself. 'Maybe I have gone soft' he thought. Time was when he had not cared less if someone was trying to sleep. Infact, since when did he care about anything or anyone aside from himself and what he wanted? 'Kagome, baka.' He thought again, but he continued to smile to himself. From the looks of the sun it was late morning, maybe ten thirty. Kagome had told him she wanted to run some things by Keade and then they could leave to catch up to the others although he doubted that they would leave that day, probably spend another night here and make a fresh start in the morning that way should be able to catch up with the others before sunset. He stretched his arms above his head and yawned before jumping down from his perch.
"Oh my! Inuyasha! You made me jump!" He smirked again.
"About time you woke up." He said in a neutral tone but he could not hide his amusement from Kagome. She smiled back sweetly and continued searching in her bag eventually finding a plastic case which she slipped her camera into.
"Inuyasha?" She asked, still kneeling and looking at her bag. He waited. "Would you do me a small favour?"
"Nani?" He asked. She stood up and smiled at him again.
"It's nothing really, I just wanted to go back to my time and see how this pictures came out." She looked at him and as soon as he opened his mouth to reply, she added; "You don't have to come I just want to go and wanted you to wait for me? Please? I really want to show the others when we catch up with them." Inuyasha watched her for a moment then picked up her bag and started walking.
"Ok." He called back to her. Kagome frowned, but ran after him as he walked towards the well.
"A-arigatou, Inuyasha." She said when they reached their destination. "I promise we won't be there long." He nodded and took her hand as they stood on the rim of the well.
"I don't mind. I didn't think we'd be leaving here until tomorrow anyway, just as well get you pictures and maybe get something to eat..." He broke off and looked at her hopefully. Kagome laughed and nodded.
"Of course! You can have as much reman as you can eat!" Inuyasha's eyes widen.
"As much as I can eat huh?" He thought for a moment. "We may have to visit that 'superstore' place then!" This time they both laughed and jumped down into the darkness.

Shippou was confused. He looked at his companions one at a time. Miroku looked sad but like he was trying to hide the fact. Sango looked very angry which scared Shippou, and with good reason. He had seen her take her anger out on many a demon that happened across her path when she was in such a mood. Kirara looked almost as annoyed as Sango did, she walked ahead of them all as if she were trying to make a point of some sort. Shippou continued to be confused.
"Sango?" He asked for the fifth time since they had started moving that day. "Why is everyone so quiet?" Sango scowled and narrowed her eyes, she could feel her fists clenching but she did not want to take her annoyance out on Shippou.
"I expect we are all just tiered." She said finally. "I don't think any of us slept well last night without Inuyasha to watch over us." At least this was partly true and even her mood was partly to do with lack of sleep. 'Mainly to do with some damn monk' she thought to herself as she felt her fist clench again.
"How come Miroku looks so sad? Is he sick or something?" Was the next question asked by the inquisitive kitsune. Sango almost laughed out loud. 'Sick is not the word I'd use.' She thought but replied.
"I hadn't noticed. Maybe you could go and ask him?" Shippou nodded and disappeared from Sango's side. She sighed and continued walking, enjoying the quiet for now, she knew that it would not last long. 'Trust that monk to go and ruin everything as usual.' She thought, kicking some fallen leaves as she walked. 'Every time I think he's being honest with me or we are having a good time he always has to go and ruin it!' She found herself scowling again and her gentle kicks of the leaves were now taking chunks of soil from the ground.
"Sango!" Shippou screamed just seconds after landing on her shoulder. "He's gone! I turned round and he wasn't there so I walked back alittle and he's just gone!" Sango sighed. She was not in the mood for his stupid games especially with the lack of sleep she had from last night.
"Houshi-sama!" She shouted, stomping back in the direction they had just come from. "We don't have time for this! Houshi-sama!" She stopped and looked all around her but there was no sign of him. She stood with a puzzled look on her face and her hands on her hips while Shippou peered behind a tree alittle way from them. "He really is gone." She whispered to herself. She frowned and looked around again, her heart starting to race as her mind conjured up endless horrible scenario that could have befallen the monk. "Kirara!" She called and waited as the demon cat transformed and let her and Shippou climb on to her back. "Damn you Miroku." She muttered as they took to the skies.
