Crossing over eons of time, and,
By some mysterious miracle,

IronyChapter 6…

…Unexpected Arrival…

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Sango's gone…"

Those two words echoed in Miroku's head repeatedly.

He stared at the hanyou, dumbfounded. He blinked in confusion, not fully comprehending what was going on.

                Gone…

"Where… is she?" Miroku choked out, swallowing hard. This terrible feeling that he had, the feeling that made his stomach overturn.

Something was very wrong here…

The silence in the room lingered for a moment longer.

"Naraku…" Kagome finally spoke up, her eyes full of compassion as she gazed at the houshi.

Miroku's heart seized.

Naraku…

Just the mention of that bastard's name made his blood boil.

"…he took her" Kagome finished, letting out a frustrated sigh. Her eyes locked with the floor once more. You could tell she did not want to be the one to break the news.

The moment she had finished speaking, Miroku had felt his heart shatter into a thousand tiny pieces.

'I lost her…' Miroku didn't say anything for a couple of minutes, taking the time to grasp the situation.

"Miroku-sama?..." Kagome gazed questionably at the houshi, trying to decipher his reaction.

Miroku didn't answer.

In fact, he had never been so pissed, and yet so scared in his entire life. His eyes flared with anger and hatred.

'If he does anything to her…I'll…' That was it. He snapped.

This… wasn't supposed to happen!

He clenched his right hand into a fist, ramming it into the nearest wall with all his strength. The house shook slightly. Kagome and Koharu let out a gasp, slightly taken aback. Inuyasha just stared at the houshi in surprise, a query eyebrow raised.

Miroku, usually being the most calm and nonviolent person in the group was now acting like Inuyasha…

Koharu wasn't sure of what to say. She had never seen Miroku in such a state either. She was now sure that he loved the taijiya, as much as she hated to admit it to herself. Surely, Koharu was still very much in love with Miroku, but now she was sure that the feeling was no mutual.

"Miroku-sama, calm down, I'm sure--" she was interrupted.

"I'll get her back" Miroku stated, his voice unwavering. He sounded certain, there was no doubt.

He would get her back.

No matter what…

~*~*~*~*~*~

Sango was exhausted. Though her body kept walking, she herself felt as if she was about to collapse. She hadn't rested, eaten or drank in almost an entire day.

She let out a heavy sigh, her hand still clutching her sheathed katana. She had been trying to compose herself the entire time. Trying to stay calm.

'Nothing to panic about… I just need to remove the shard, and I'll be free… I just can't panic…'

'A village…?' she thought curiously, seeing the multiple numbers of cottages up ahead of her atop a small hill.  

She gasped as she felt her right arm release her katana. Instead, she reached up, hefting Hiraikotsu off her back, preparing to throw.

'Oh god…' Okay, now was the time to panic.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Kagome?" the hanyou asked as he watched her stand quickly. She furrowed her eyebrows, twirling around to face the screen door that lead outside.

"I sense it…"

She froze for a minute, as if to clarify what she was about to say.

"…a Shikon no Kakera is nearby. It's very close" Kagome said. reaching for her bow and arrows.

Inuyasha's face suddenly bore a slight smirk. This is what he had been waiting for!

He could go out, take his frustrations and anger out on some youkai, and even get a Shikon no Kakara as a reward…

Wait…

Inuyasha stopped, sniffing the air.

Was he imagining it or was this…

Sango's scent?

No. He wasn't imagining it. "It's Sango!" he called out before rushing out of the hut.

Kagome gasped. 'Sango-chan is here…' this could either turn out very good or very bad…

"Koharu-chan, stay here with Miroku-sama" Kagome added on before abruptly running out of the hut after Inuyasha.

Miroku was still in shock. This was all happening so fast! He had to see her…

He had to see Sango.

"Be careful…" Koharu shouted to the closing door. She sighed closing her eyes; she leaned against the wall to relax for a minute. Suddenly, she heard a shuffling noise.

She sighed again, opening her eyes to find herself alone in the hut.

Miroku wasn't there.
