Chapter 4
"I'm always here when you need me. Don't worry."
The sky turned dark pink and purple and golden. It was beautiful. The sky was sparkling with stars. I sighed. This night was the perfect way to spend the night away. Oh. I forgot to wake Inuyasha up. I leaned over and tapped him on the shoulder. I breathed into his ear.
"The sun is up, Inuyasha," He moaned softly. His eyes stirred lightly before opening widely.
"This is... beautiful..." He never saw one before. At that moment, I felt sad for him. He was an orphan. He never grew up with all the love he was supposed to be cherished with. Instead after a few years of birth, his father died in a fight with the Dragon and his mother died afterwards, or at least that's what I heard. I felt sorry for him. I wanted to be the mother he deserves. I wanted to be the mother who was supposed to be there for him. But I can't be in this period of time forever. I have other issues going on in my time. School and life and stuff. My life is a big jumble of a mess.
We lay there, watching the sun come up slowly. The stars were slowly disappearing. That was the disappointing part. Later, the stars will represent us living beings and we will also disappear slowly when the sun disappears. Well, that's just what my grandpa said. He is the weirdest. Well, the sun's high in the sky and now the stars are all gone. The pink stayed in the clouds, though. It was pretty.
I think Inuyasha was getting restless now that the sun rose. He didn't have any action in a long
time. I stood up. My hair was tangled up from lying on the ground too long. Inuyasha's hair was usually long and tangled, but it's always fun to laugh at tangled hair.
"You hair looks funny Inuyasha," I grinned.
"I don't care. Let's just get back. My back's hurting,"
"Geesh. You're such a fun-spoiler."
He growled.
When we returned to the hut, Miroku were talking to a person I have never met
before. The woman looked fairly young. A look of concern was on her face.
"He told me he was going to have a look at the fields before the mountains. I waited for
numerous days, but he never came back! I am so worried about him..." Her eyes were teary as they looked at Miroku. He always attracted young women.
"But Michiko, please do not worry. We will make sure we find your husband and return him safely back to you." He added. "If only you were unmarried..."
I'm sure Sango was glowering at him, but she was looking out the window. I went over to her. I was sure I could help her get over the feelings she was having right now.
"Hey Sango. Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'm okay,"
"Hey, everything's okay, right? Miroku does that to every woman he sees. That womanizing lecher. He's never going to realize when he should stop,"
"I know. It's just that he doesn't realize what he's doing to me every time he walks up to a woman and starts with her. I just can't stand it, you know,"
"I know. Why don't you talk with him? I think he'll understand, I mean, for you,"
"I guess I'll try."
Sango and I returned to Miroku and Michiko. Miroku stood up and faced us.
"I will be leaving to search for Michiko's husband. Will you be joining me?" He looked at
Inuyasha.
"Yeah, sure,"
"Kagome? Sango?"
"Of course," I looked at Sango, expecting a no. I was wrong.
"I'll come," I moved in closer to Sango and whispered through her ear.
"Why did you say yes?"
"He might get in trouble. I just want to make sure he's safe," I knew she was half-lying. She
wants to be there to help Miroku when he's in trouble. I know.
We walked toward the mountains. They were gigantic, so we knew where we were heading, I think. After about an hour of running, we arrived at the start of a thick fog. There Miroku gave us dark green bracelets.
"You'll need this. Don't take it off," He put one on himself. Then he started running through the fog. Inuyasha and I ran after him. Sango was following us.
Okay, that's about all. I'm sorry if it was too short, but it took an immense amount of energy and time and imagination to type this all down. So, R&R quickly!! Again, sorry for taking so long!!
