---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Chapter five;
Darkest hours.
It took Sango no time at all to reach Keade's hut where she had hoped to find Kagome and Inuyasha or at least find out where they were so she had not been pleased to learn that they had gone to kagome's time, the only possible place she could not follow them. She sighed and looked into the well for the forth time since she had gotten back to the village, still no sign.
"Damn it!" She yelled, wishing she had something to throw. 'I wonder what he's doing right now?' she thought, sitting back down and leaning her back against the wall of the well. 'I hope your safe Miroku, where-ever you are.' She sighed, drawing her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around them. It was starting to get cold but she did not want to go inside just incase they came back, it seemed unlikely at such a late hour but the sooner they arrived the sooner they could start their search and she did not want to have to waste any time. She shivered slightly and pulled her arms tighter, wishing that she had a blanket or at least a small fire nearby but as it was her only light came form the stars and they certainly were not giving off any heat she could feel.
"Sitting outside in this weather won't get you anywhere." Sango jumped slightly before recognising the voice that spoke as Keade's. The old priestess was carrying a blanket and had an understanding smile on her face. "Except maybe it'll catch you a cold." She draped the blanket over Sango's shoulders and sat down beside her.
"Arigatou." She said, smiling weakly. She was grateful for Keade's care but knowing she was right was not going to help her stay watching by the well especially with her sitting next to her.
"Houshi-dono will be fine Sango, he's a strong fighter. I would give your pity to those who have him if such an incident has indeed occurred. They will surely need it more than he with that Kazaana of his." Sango mirrored the older woman's smile, knowing she was right.
"Hai, I know." She whispered, snuggling into the blanket alittle more, she could feel herself warming up already it was becoming a struggle to stay awake.
"Yet you still worry?" Keade said. "He is your comrade, it is to be expected." Sango nodded dimly. That much was true. "Inuyasha and Kagome will be back tomorrow and the four of you can start your search for him. If he hasn't returned on his own by then of course." Sango looked up at the priestess.
"Do you think he will? Come back before they I mean?" Keade's shrugged.
"I know nothing for certain, only that he is safe, I know that much."
"And how do you know even that much?"
"I feel his energy, his spirit." Keade replied, closing her eyes. "He is more than safe, he is at peace." Sango mouth fell wide open.
"At peace?!" She asked. Keade smiled.
"Not dead at peace, his soul is happy. Where-ever he is, it makes his soul smile to be there." Keade opened her eyes again and smiled at Sango, laying a hand on her shoulder as she stood. "You will find him and he will be well, that I am certain of. It seems silly for you to wait out her in the cold knowing that he is safe and well, don't you think?" Sango sighed, she had to agree she could do with a good night's rest.
"Hai." She nodded wearily, using the well to pull herself up. Keade nodded.
"Shippou and Kirara are both asleep already, you must have had quite a journey." Sango nodded again, she was finding it hard to talk right now without betraying just how worried she was. It was safer to nod and shake her head, anything more came out as a high pitched squeal or just plain panicked nonsense. The two women walked towards keade's hut, not saying much else to each other. Sango stared down at the ground, her mind wondering just what had happened that day. It all seemed to have blurred into a mass of shouting and panic. She shock her head, wishing she had not been quite so hard on Miroku when she had seen him last. 'I didn't have to hit him' she thought sadly. She pulled her blanket tighter, feeling a cold chill all of a sudden. "You will feel better come the morning." Keade was saying. "Things always look there darkest before the dawn." Again Sango just nodded as she walked through the door of the hut. Keade moved some things to make a space for Sango by the fire in the middle of the room. "You rest your head here." She said, gesturing to the newly cleared space. "The morning will bring with it hope but only if you let it." Sango was not sure exactly what that was supposed to mean, but she took up her place by the fire as she had been told. 'I'll never be able to sleep with all this going on.' She thought ot herself, but she need not have worried, sleep claimed her before she had a chance to think much beyond that, infact her only remembered thought after that one was for Miroku, and his safe return.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha was having a hard time keeping a straight face, not that he thought the situation was funny, just ridiculous.
"So, you lost him?" He repeated for the third time. Sango was far from amused at Inuyasha's inability to take what was happening seriously.
"Hai, I lost him and hai, it's highly amusing. Now can we actually DO something about finding him again?" Kagome stepped in-between the pair after noticing Sango reaching for her Hiraikotsu while Inuyasha laughed hysterically. The girl put her hand on her friend's shoulder and smiled.
"Don't worry Sango-chan, we'll find him." Sango smiled back at her, glad that at least someone was taking the situation seriously. She cast another look at Inuyasha and sighed. Kagome smiled. "Baka." She said simply before calling out to him. "Inuyasha? OWASURI!" Now it was Sango's turn to laugh, she turned to her friend, smiling happily.
"Arigatou Kagome-chan." Kagome nodded, joining in with her friend's laughter. Inuyasha came stomping over, growling to himself but otherwise being uncharacteristically quiet.
"Damn baka girls." He mumbled when he was close enough for them to hear. "One goes losing people and the other using that word for no reason! I'm not the one who lost that damn Bouzu you know!"
"OWASURI!"
"FEH! Stop that already!" He growled pulling himself back to his feet for the second time. "Are we gonna go search for that baka Bouzu or not?" Sango nodded.
"I'll go find Shippou and Kirara and they we can show you where he was when we last saw him." Inuyasha just nodded, figuring it was just safer that way and he, along with Kagome, watched as sango walked off, weapon in hand. When she was out of site, Inuyasha turned to Kagome and glared at her.
"Nani?!" She asked. Inuyasha growled again causing Kagome to sigh. "Okay okay! Gormen nasai Inuyasha but you were being just alittle insensitive weren't you?"
"Me? Insensitive? I just don't see the problem! Miroku is strong, he can take of himself and it's not like he was captured or they would have heard something! He's probably hauled up with some village girl or something and laughing at us as we run about looking for him!" Inuyasha could not help but think that sometimes Miroku had the right idea. "And why is Sango so edgy anyway?! You would think she'd be glad to not have him around groping her!" Kagome sighed.
"You don't understand one bit, do you?" He raised an eyebrow and waited for kagome to continue. "She's worried about him! Baka!" Inuyasha shrugged, indicating he still did not understand. "Baka! She likes him!"
"Nani?! You've got it all wrong kagome, she always shouts at him and slaps him when he touches her! There is no way she likes him! NO WAY!" Kagome's smile broaden as an idea began to hatch in her mind.
"We'll see Inuyasha." She replied, walking in the direction Sango had moments earlier. "We'll see!"
