Chichiri4488: Ok more reviews is good!
Shippo: You only got 2.
Chichiri4488: But it's 2 more than what I had! ^-^
Shippo: Are you always this optimistic?
Chichiri4488: No... not really.
Chapter 5
~Home and Pain~
Home. The one place most people strive for. Just as Odysseus had to come home to Ithaca, Miroku had come upon his own doorstep after the years.
~*~*~*~Miroku's POV~*~*~*~
I couldn't even believe I was at my own house. The last time I had come here was to gather up a few belongings to start traveling as a pianist.
The night that Sango had died... they couldn't even get me out of the hospital without her. Then I sat in the morgue just holding her hand.
This house holds so many memories. Too many memories.
I opened the front door to enter into a dusty and small entryway. Sango's and my bedroom stood off to the side as I walked down a hallway into the kitchen. I set my suitcase down only for a cloud of dust to rise.
For some reason the dust caused me to fall back. I felt giddy, and an ache appeared in my neck for a second, and then disappeared again. Perhaps I'm allergic to the dust.... I'll ask Inuyasha later as he is a doctor.
Then I saw something and took in a gasp of air as I slowly stood and walked towards another section of the kitchen.
A picture of Sango and I holding each other sat atop a desk in the corner. We were both smiling and happy. That had been one of the summers at the lake with Inuyasha and Kagome during college.
The picture itself was in a fine condition as well as the frame that held it.
'Now that's a picture I need with me.' I thought.
I glanced at my watch to see that it was well past noon. I had told Inuyasha that I would arrive today at 11. I suppose this is late as late can get....
I had been in the home for 2 hours and yet it had seemed that only 3 minutes had passed. Odd.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ (End Miroku's POV)
"It's about time slow poke." Said Kagome as she opened the front door. Miroku embraced her and smiled as the two children raced down the hall.
"Uncle Miroku!" they shouted. Shippo leapt into Miroku's arms and Shira clung to his leg.
"I think they missed you." Said Inuyasha coming down the hall.
"I never would of guessed." Miroku replied.
Shira and Shippo continued to remain held tight to him and bombard Miroku with question from "How much do you weigh", to statements of "I have a thousand pennies!" Of course what else can be expected with a three year old and a 6 year old?
Miroku sat on the couch with Shira and Shippo on his lap, while Inuyasha took a large armchair across from them. Kagome returned to the kitchen to finish up the Thanksgiving feast.
"Is Sesshomaru coming as well?" asked Miroku.
"Yeah. He, Inori, and Rin will all be here." Said Inuyasha.
"Inori?"
"She's really cool uncle Miroku! She has a guitar and stuff!" said Shippo.
"And she nice and funny!" laughed Shira smiling.
"Sessh is dating Inori now. Apparently they've been going out for almost a year." Said Inuyasha.
"I look forward to meeting her." Said Miroku, "She sounds like an interesting person."
"She is." Said Inuyasha.
"What does she do for a living?"
"She's a writer believe it or not. She actually wrote a best seller and 3 other books. I can't think of the titles though." Said Kagome.
"How has Rin been doing with Sesshomaru?" asked Miroku.
"Great. It's almst lk thhhheeeeey weeeeeeerrrrrrrreeeeeeee-"
"What?" asked Miroku shaking his head. Everything was slowing down.
"I saaaaaaaaiiiddd Ittttsssss alllllmoooosst l-"
"What's going on? Ow! My head!"
****Miroku's POV*****
I couldn't hear anything. It was like a movie, and going by in a very slow motion. The words could barely be understood.
Now my head hurt. And badly. Pain rocketed through my skull.
What was going on?
"Miiirrroookkuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
No more. The pain hurt too much.
I yelled.
Chichiri4488: Now that's a short chapter.
Shippo: You idiotic moron! What kind of a cliff hanger can that be!? You'll have flames in no time. Bazookas and cannons are headed this way right now!
Chichiri4488: Aw! You care! ^___^
Shippo: I'm chained here! If you go then I go!
Chichiri4488: The cliffhanger wasn't that bad. It's not much of a cliffy right?
Shippo: The guys in serious pain and cant hear anything, and we have no clue what could happen! How is that not a bit of a cliff hanger!?
Chichiri4488: It could be worse.
Shippo: I know. -_-
Chichiri4488: Well anywho.... thank you very much reviewers! I got more! ^______________________^
Now let's have a few more! ^_^
Shippo: Don't push your luck genius.
Chichiri4488: ;_; Thank you very much to SM together, and rain angst for reviewing! Have cookies!
Have a cookie everyone! Readers and Reviewers! However, if you're a reader, then you should become a reviewer! I want YOU to review today! ^_^
Shippo: You are so lame. -_-
Chichiri4488: Oh. I've already written half of the next chapter, which will be out very, very soon. The story is coming to an end, and the last chapter will be posted on Christmas Eve. The story is supposed to be this short, but if you want to read a longer story of mine, I have 2 more stories in progress right now. ^-^
Reviews are always welcome in my world. ^-^
