Eternity seemed to small at word for how long it seemed to take her to get over to Inu-yasha. Her shirt was starting to get wet from the river of tears that flow. Finally she reached Inu-yasha and looked around, "Why don't you use the Tetsaiga!?!?" She was punching and clawing at the beast stomach as Inu-yasha had once done. "You stupid wench! Don't you think that I would have used it? That stupid sword won't transform!"

Sango looked at him. "But Kagome isn't human anymore Inu-yasha." Laying a hand on his shoulder. "No, but what about the other villagers that may have been eaten alive as well!?!"

Miroku felt like his legs would give out, *Kagome can't be gone... * Seeing Sango with tears in his eyes brought his strength up to help her. He pulled Sango into his arms, "Shhh..." He stroked her hair with loving care.

Inu-yasha felt warmth on his cheeks and ran into the forest. *Not again! First my mother, then my father, and now Kagome! NO! *

Hoseki seen her parents come over and ran to them crying. "Oka. Ota... Kagome is... she is...Ohh!" She began sobbing into her mother's shoulder. Her mother smiled, but no one seen. Pulling on a sad face her mother looked at Hoseki. "Kagome had someone in the Western Lands that she really cared about right? Shouldn't you tell that person what happened to Kagome? Now you listen here Hoseki. Do you think Kagome would want you to grief over her? No she would want maybe one thing, for you to and her friends to move on. She wouldn't want you to cry like this." With a new courage in her eyes Hoseki stood straight. "Your right. Kagome wouldn't want this. Do you think you could rebuild the village without me?" Her mother raised an eyebrow jokingly, "Do you really think that we can't? Please!" Smiling a little at how her mom tried to cheer her up Hoseki went to the others. "Hey you guys. Kagome had some friends in the Western lands and I need to tell them what has happened." Miroku, Sango, and Shippou all nodded silently. "We will come with you." With a rustle from the bushes Inu-yasha appeared. "We have to let all of Kagome's friends and... family, that she is ...gone." No one really wanted to say it, but Inu-yasha finally said it and Shippou began crying. "NO! MAMA CAN'T DIE!" Shippou was back to his little self and was crying into Sango, who was currently holding him.

Hoseki looked around and grabbed Kagome's bag. "It's almost dawn. We should sleep a little while and get a fresh start in the morning." Everyone nodded, but everyone also knew there would be no sleep.

In the morning with heavy hearts they headed off. No one was speaking to one another. Their trek was not that far, for they had just left hours before they had come upon the gang and then the battle. It would not be long before they hit their destination.
