Miroku was standing in the doorway watching this touching reunion of two of his best friends, now thoroughly missing his own girlfriend. Just then Miroku's phone rang.

Miroku: Hello? Voice: I've got her and if you ever want her back bring me back Kagome. Now. click

"Oh shit" said Miroku his phone still drawn up to his ear, staring off into space.

Chapter 9 (Realization)

In the shadow of a small room, a man flipped a cell phone closed and sundered over to the middle of the room which held a girl tied to a chair and gagged. She was just sitting there, staring off into nothing, refusing to look at her captor.

"Well girly, I think I've given you boytoy enough of a scare to come and find you...then I'll have whats mine, and he'll have whats his. It's all very fair" said the voice.

"You don't own her." spat Sango

"Oh, I think your wrong there, I can control her with a flick of my hand...if that's not ownership, I don't know what it. I can tell you it's certainly not love"

"You know nothing! Of love or of anything" Shouted Sango

"I think it's time for you to take a nap, your getting cranky" and with one great heave of his arm, he jarred Sango into submission.

Kagome glanced up from her resting place on Inuyasha's shoulder."What is it Miroku?"

Miroku swallowed once, and tried to continue "I...I think your dad has...Sa.." but he couldn't finish before falling to his knees, still staring off, only now a single tear was falling down his cheek.

"Has what, exactly Miroku?" asked Inuyasha.

"Sango" whispered Miroku.

Both simply stared at Miroku for a second, then Kagome put her head back on Inuyasha's shoulder and started to cry out things like "oh my gods, what could he be doing to her?" and "it's all my fault". Inuyasha on the other hand just sat there, holding the back of Kagome's head and thinking. Thinking of all the different kinds of ways he would cause pain to Kagome's dad when he got to him.

Ok, this is too good of a place to leave off for me to pass it up. Well, so maybe im not back full steam...short chappie and all...but I'll try you guys! till next time.

Cheers
