"I miss her touch, that piercing feel of the slaps. I wish she were here now," said Miroku, as he knelt on the floor by my body.

"But I am here, don't worry, I'll never leave you," I said aloud, even though I knew he couldn't hear me.

*Sob... sniff... whimper*

"Kagome? Wait, Miroku??? Your crying, I didn't know you cared for me that much. I can't believe it."

"Why her, I could have been me or someone else. She was the only one I could go to with my problems," I heard Kagome's voice from the doorway.

"It's okay. We all cared for her in some way. Even I am sad that she like this now, and that's a hard thing to make me do," Inuyasha said. I looked over, and saw Kagome still in Inuyasha's arms.

"I'll be fine, won't I? I can't be that badly injured. Yeah, I hit my head on a rock after falling, like, 20 ft, but still not that injured," I said, having doubts about making it back into my body. "There's got to be some reason why this is happening."

I had been having doubts before what everyone thought about me, but I still didn't know. Then I knew that Miroku really did care about me, I was the only person Kagome could come to with her problems, and even Inuyasha liked me as a friend. But sometimes I felt like I was invisible, even before I had that experience. And when I truly was, I decided to use it to my advantage, find out more, until I had to return.

Soon Shippo came in and sat down. His eyes were filled with sadness, and even he looked as if were about to cry. "I want Sango back. She was like a big sister to me, I loved like a sister, too. Inuyasha, do you think she will die?"

"No, she won't. She's strong, she'll pull through this. I know she can," he replied

'Wow, I never knew he thought that. He thinks that I am strong. That could be considered a small miracle. He doesn't think anyone is that strong but him,' I thought.

Morning came, and everybody had tried to rest, but some of their eye's were bagged with lack of sleep. They left for the river and I followed. 'What a day this is going to be,' I thought. We were walking on the road, when a group of ladies passed by. I looked a Miroku to see what he would do. I was very shocked to see he didn't even look up at them, let alone smile or do something perverted. Even Inuyasha noticed, and his mouth opened so wide I could probably shove my fist into it.

"Miroku, are you feeling okay? A group of fine looking ladies just walked by, and you didn't even look up from the ground," said Inuyasha.

Kagome jabbed him in the ribs, mumbling "Don't say anything about ladies."

"That was interesting. I've never seen him do that, and I've never seen Inuyasha comment on that sort of thing, unless he's making fun of him," I said.
