Sango had appeared after fifteen minutes to find Miroku, she didn't look happy nor sad. She jogged over to the monk who was asleep against a tree, and poked his forehead until he finally woke up,

Miroku sputtered in his sleep, and tossed and turned, and after three minutes he woke up, saliva dripping from his mouth, "Wah?" he asked stupidly, "Sango-kun?" he added.

Sango nodded slowly, grabbing some of his robes to wipe off the saliva, "We need you back at the campsite, now," she said sternly, getting up, and jogged back to the campsite.

Miroku sat there for a minute, 'We?' he thought, 'As in Sango, Kagome, and InuYasha?' he asked himself, and rose to his feet slowly, and walked idly to the campsite. Entering the clearing, he looked around, there was no Kirara or Sango in sight, what's wrong?

"Where's Sango-kun and Kirara?" he asked, Kagome was half sobbing, "She had to leave.... Read this," she said bitterly, handing Miroku a large and heavy letter, opening in, he read the words, "Sango..." he said softly, the letter had read,

"You're going to be at the shrine at 9 o'clock tommorow, you can't hide anymore from me, you're family would be disopointed if you were hiding from me. I'll crush their remains if I have to, Taji-Ya-San! Family rivals will kill each other, the last one standing will uphold their family honor!

I'll even kill your loved ones-- Miroku the monk, Kagome the human, and InuYasha the hanyou! That's how far I'll go just to see your boomerang, blade, and that pathetic neko youkai, and you here at the shrine! I will go that far!" he read, and felt his legs go weak.

Kagome sighed, "And she left a note here for you, she left one for all of us, but she requested you not look at it 'till next Thursday, not even a peak. She also told InuYasha and I that if she ever makes it out alive, she'll be back in a year to five years," she said sadly, looking at Miroku's disbelieving horrific face.

Miroku said, "I know she'll come back, I just know she will... But couldn't we follow her?" he asked, and InuYasha shook his head, "And she said not for us to follow her, she knew that's what you'd think, monk," he said, irrated, "I'm hungry by the way," he added.
