Kagome and Mina kept on walking. Kagome had just realized how far she had ran. It was dangerous in the woods. She could have been hurt. But the fact that she had one more friend, comforted her. It gave her the urge to talk. And so she did.
Kagome: Sometimes I wish I could fight. I want to help Sango, Miroku, and InuYasha, but I can't.
Mina: You don't have to fight to help. They find the jewl shards faster with you.
Kagome: I know, but that's all I have, besides my arrows. I can't even aim. I feel worthless.
Mina: If you were worthless, you would'nt be here.
Kagome: I guess so...
They both had been walking for a while now.
Mina: You're pretty sad, are'nt you?
Kagome: Ya. Ever since I saw InuYasha and Kikyo together, its just been this way. I want to be happy, but I can't. Inuyasha does'nt know I've been crying like this. Please don't tell him.
Mina: Don't worry. I won't.
Kagome: Mina? Have you ever been in love?
Mina: Once. But I was little, and it was a silly crush that I ended up regreting.
Mina and Kagome reached a break in all of the trees. Light shined through. The village that Kagome was staying at came into view, and the sun was high in the sky. It only took a few minutes to walk down a hill of rolling grass, and to the camp. Miroku was sitting under a big tree resting, but InuYasha and Sango were nowhere in sight. Miroku opened his eyes.
Kagome: Alright. I'm going to go take another nap. Miroku, please intorduce Mina to everyone else. She'll be helping us find the jewl shards.
Miroku(grinning): My pleasure.
Kagome: Make yourself at home, Mina.
Mina: Sure...
Kagome went inside and closed the door behind her, leaving the two alone. Mina walked closer to Miroku and their eyes locked.
Miroku: I have'nt seen you in a long time.
Mina: I tought you were dead. I tought your dad's windtunnel got you.
Miroku: I'm alive.
Mina bent over and gave Miroku a hug. They both held on to each other tightly. Mina closed her eyes. Memories came flooding back to her. She remembered the day when she tought he was gone.
****Flashback****
It was a sunny day. The forest was beautiful. There were flowers of ever color, and it was so peaceful. A younger Mina was training in the woods, which she had been doing for awhile. Her claws were slashing in every direction. She paused suddenly and aimed for a tree. She hit the target, snapping it in half. She fell to the ground, exausted. She was breathing heavily, taking in air at every moment she got. She finally managed to catch her breath.
Mina: Danm...
After that, silence hung in the air. But the peace was soon broken. The ground began to shake. She looked up in the sky, and there was a cloud of dust whirling around. It was in the the direction of where Miroku lived.
Mina: What?!
Mina realized what was happening. Miroku or his father were useing their wind tunnel. The power of it was too great. That meant that one of them was being swallowed up. It was most likely Miroku's father. She ran towards it, but was forced to turn back. It was too dangeous. She did'nt want to be sucked in too.
The next morning Mina visited the sight. Miroku's home was destroyed. Also Miroku was nowhere to be seen. That meant that he had been sucked in too. He was gone. Forever. Mina dropped to the ground and began to cry.
****Flashback End****
Mina opened her eyes. They were still hugging. Miroku could'nt take it anymore. He got the better of himself.
Miroku: Mina?
Mina: Yes?
Miroku: Would you consider bearing my child?
Miroku's hand slowly moved from Mina's back and down the her butt.
Mina: YOU ASS! You're still the same!
Mina jerked back and slammed Miroku into the tree. She got up and left leaving Miroku wimpering in pain.
Kagome: Sometimes I wish I could fight. I want to help Sango, Miroku, and InuYasha, but I can't.
