A girl sighed as she walked under the trees. She was strong, many
years of hardship had made sure of
that, but the latest tragedy in her life was testing her yet again. She
briefly wondered how it felt to have a
normal life bereft of possessed family members and dieing friends. She sat
down and began to care for her
weapon when a sound alerted her to another prescence beside the stream. It
would have been dead already
had it been a demon, but without turning she greeted her friend.
" Hello, Miroku."
"Greetings, Sango."
"Still no word from Kagome?"
" You know that if there was you would be the first to know. You have been hanging around the well for days now. You need to calm down. Pacing around is not helping anything. Kagome is safe in her time. She needs time to heal before she can come back." Sango let out a frustrated breath of air. She watched Miroku sit down cross- legged style, as always, adjusting his robe as he did. They were both drained, mentally and physically. Sango had never been as close to Inuyasha as Kagome had, but he had been her friend and she was still grieved to have lost him. She looked over at Miroku, who had closed his eyes. " How long has it been since Kagome went into the well?" " Three days." "Are you sure she got there all right?"
"You know I saw her off safely."
Miroku sighed. Yes, he had seen her off. There were still demons in the area and he knew Kagome wouldn't have her gaurd up , so he followed her to make sure she got to the well. The last thing he had seen of her since then was her face, tear-stained and full of pain, as she jumped into the well. He hated seeing wmen cry, he had that in common with Inuyasha. He remembered the look on her face as she reached forhim as he fell. How she held on to him for all her heart after she knew he wasn't coming back. It didn't surprise him at all that Inuyasha had died that way. Protecting the person he loved in battle would have been the way he would probably have preferred it. He knew it was just a matter of time
before someone went after Kagome to get to him. Inuyasha just wasn't a safe person to love, and he knew it. He suspected that that was why Inuyasha had hid his developing feelings. Developing, yes, but they were there. He had proved it. That was just the way Inuyasha was. He expected no breaks from the world, and got little. He felt a surge of respect for Inuyasha. Miroku saw Kagome, sobbing next to him and holding on to his haori as if she would bring him back through sheer force of will, as weapons and attacks flew above her head. That was the way Kagome was. Think of Inuyasha first, and revenge later. But by the time she had reached for her arrows to seek vengence for Inuyasha, Naraku was long gone, of course, his work having been done. Miroku knew that if he had stayed, he would have died. That was all there was to it. Kagome had murder in her eyes when she turned to find him gone. At this point, Miroku renewed his vows. He would do everything in his power to help bring down Naraku. He would be there for her, to complete the mission they had all started, even if it meant doing it without one of thier own.
I do thank the people who have reviewed. It means a lot to me. Thanks, you guys! But as for the plot, now that we know what happened from everyone's point of view, we can get to it. Oh, and Houseki, you are completely mental. But that's okay. Everyone's got to be just a little mental. Or they'll go insane.
Inu Youkai-Hime: I am so glad you are enjoying it! Thank you so much. Reviews like that just make my day.
Mustard Yellow Sunshine: oh dear. I made her sad again. (air-mails jumbo economy-sized kleenex box) Well, i guess that's good. I'm supposed to be making you people sad. That's why it's a tragedy! I will take your sadness as an indicator of how well i'm doing. (bows)
fireash: I love your screenname! I intrigue you? cool! ( mental image of fireash stroking goatee) sorry that I couldn't update soon like you asked, as explained above, but will try harder!
Houseki: hello oh insane one. THE SQUIRRELS ARE RULED BY NO ONE! SPIKEY MIKEY MUST BURN! AND THE PENGUINS WILL NEVER SUCCEED!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ahem. Thank you for your insanity. It is very refreshing. curse word? what curse word? i never heard any curse word. (twiddles fingers) oh but wouldn't we all like to curse the clay pot?
Mustard Yellow Sunshine: Who the hell said I was going to have a happy ending? (hee hee hee hee hee) And yes, the world must be ending because Miroku hath failed to grabbeth anyone's ass. (my boyfriend doesn't seem to have a problem with it, though)
lizzie: I have reasons for making my chapters so short. Most of them lie with my bad case of A.D.D.
forever sleeping peacefully: As explained above my plot is long, rambling, and makes no sense. So just read the explanation above and you will be confused no more.
cheeseplease: I must say I love your penname
