A New Freedom: Chapter Four
"They're still not back...." Miroku said. It had been three days since the girls had left and he was starting to worry. "Don't worry. They probably just went to some nearby town." He said, reassuring himself and Inu at the same time.
"I don't think they did. They wouldn't stay so close to us...They'd know we'd find them in a snap." Inu said. "And the only person who can get through the well now is Kagome."
"Wouldn't they? They would think that we would think that they would want to go far away. So they would stay close knowing we wouldn't check the close villages."
"Those damn, conniving, resourceful wenches...." Inu said, scowling.
"So... We check the close villages first,then the ones farther away..." Miroku said. "Since when do I take orders from you?!?" Inu asked, abruptly.
"Okay then... What do you say we do?"
"I say we check the close villages then check the ones further away..."
Miroku starred at him blankly.
"What?!"
"That's exactly what I said!" Miroku complained.
"No it's not..."
"Fine. Whatever. Let's just go."
"Keh... Fine."
he guys walked to and checked all of the closer villages. No one in them had seen or heard of the two girls. They were just out of luck.
"Well....That worked well, genius..." Miroku said.
"Hey! It was your plan!"
"Oh...So now you admit it...." He said sarcastically.
"Uh-oh.... I smell trouble." Inu said, looking around. The wind was so gusty today. He couldn't figure out what dirrection it was coming from.
Two wolves, closely followed by Koga, came bounding out of the woods behind them almost silently. They were unseen by Inu and Miroku, yet heard by Inu.
"Koga..." Inu growled, spinning around.
"Great..." Miroku grumbled inaudibly, also turning.
"Right, dog-turd! Where's Kagome?" He damanded.
"She went somewhere." He said almost calmly, but with a slight growl.
"Don't give me that bull shit! Where'd she go?!"
"We don't know, Koga... So leave us alone..." Miroku said calmly.
"How'd you make her mad this time?" Calming down and talking as if they were friends now.
"We got into a fight..." He said, defeated.
"What about you monk? Where's your woman...?"
"She's with Kagome." He didn't complain about the 'his woman' remark. She was basically his. They were basically, what Kagome would call, dating.
"Right.... Well... I need to talk to her... You have no idea where they went?"
"Not a clue" Inu said.
"But we checked the closer vilages to ours... and were just about to move onto the others." Miroku added.
" Right... Well.... You two have just gained a new traveling companion."
"Great..." Inu said, trying to sound gloomy. But really he was glad. It was something more to keep his mind off of Kagome and the trouble she might be getting into.
"Okay then..." Miroku said, not wanting trouble.
"So... why do you need to talk to Kagome?" Inu asked curiously.
" I... um.... it's nothing... really...." Koga muttered.
"Right..." Inu said, disbelievingly. He'd ge it out of him later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Over the three days that Sango and Kagome had been in the present (should i call it future or present...?) Kagome had taught her a lot of things. Sango asked almost no questions anymore. She had gotten a weeks worth of out fits. (atleast 7)
"I think I'm actually starting to understand this now...." Sango said, trying to find something to watch on t.v. "It's still wierd though..."
"It'l probably be wierd for you for a while... " Kagome told her. Her mom had gone out with some of her friends and wouldn't be back until late. If she came back at all...
"Probably..."
"So.... What d'you want to do?" Kagome asked, bored.
"I don't know..."
"I wonder what the guys are doing..."
"Probably looking for us..." Sango said.
"So soon?"
"Yeah... Miroku would've started to worry by now." She was no longer paying attention to the t.v..
"Yeah. Probably. I know this might sound really evil of me... But I'm seriously sure that they deserve to wory for once. Well... I know they _do_ worry... But not for the right reasons.... They worry because if something does happen and they were'nt worried about us and we find out about it... They'll get hurt... or something..." She paused. "Did that make any sense...?"
"Well, I think so... But that might just be because I've spent almost a week with you." Sango said.
"Right. Well, I'm going to go get a drink... Want anything?" Kagome asked, standing up from her comfortable chair.
"No thanks... I think I'm gonna go take a nap though..."
"Alrighty then... Have fun..." She told her. Then watched her walk up the stair to her bedroom. It was actually the spare bedroom that Sango was staying in until they went back to the fuedal era.

"OI!!!!!!" Inu yelled, trying to get a farmers attention.
"He must be deaf or something, Inu" Miroku said.
"Let's just go into the village." Koga added.
They were standing on the outskirts of a village and Inu figured if they actually went in they'd end up scaring people.
"Feh..."
"Right... Come on" Miroku said leading the waya.
They walked along the path until they came into the village.
Miroku stopped at the first shop he saw some one at. "Have you seen two girls come through here?"
"Sonny..." She said. " I see tons of girls pass through here everyday..."
"Right. Well one is a demon exterminator with long hair and the other is a miko with short hair. So...? Have you seen them?"
The elderly lady took so long in answering, Miroku had started to think that she hadn't heard him.
"Yes.... I did see them... They passed through here and stopped at my shop a few hours ago... Why, may I ask, are such ruffians like your selves, looking for two lovely ladies?"
"Personal issues." Koga said simply.
"Right. Well they were talking to eachother of going to Westport." She told them, naming a city in the west.
"Thank you very much ma'am..." Miroku said.
"Show off..." Inu murmured as Miroku grinned.
"It's not my fault I know how to handle women..." He said.
"Yes... But when _you_ handle women, you _handle_ them." Koga said. Inu laughed and Miroku mocked a hurt expersion.
"Hmmph..."
"Oh quit your grumbling and let's go!" Inu said, after he stopped laughing.
