Hah!!! It's on time!!!!! Kinda short, true, but it's ON TIME!!!! lol Well, I'll go ahead and let you read the ON TIME chapter!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Inuyasha group walked along on a path in the forest in the usual formation; Inuyasha leading, Kagome right behind him with Shippou on her shoulder, Miroku and Sango walking side-by-side behind her, and Kilala(little form) walking beside Sango. They had just left the village, and each were silently wrapped up in their own thoughts.

'Where in the world are the jewel shards?!'

'I'm hungry!'

'I wonder what I'll get on my math test....'

'I wonder what really scared Sango-sama? It must've been something other than a squirrel, otherwise she wouldn't have been so scared and come straight into my arms....I wonder what she's thinking about right now....'

'Houshi-sama probably suspects that I lied to him about the squirrel....But what can I tell him? There was a rustle in the bushes and I got scared and ran away? That'd make me sound too much like a coward....I wonder what he's thinking about right now....'

'Mew mew mew mew mew mew mew. Mew mew mew mew mew...?'

Finally, two of the six present decided to voice their thoughts.

"Where in the world are the jewel shards?!"

"I'm hungry!"

"Let's stop and have a picnic," Kagome suggested, ignoring Inuyasha's comment.

"That sounds great, Kagome-sama," Miroku said.

"Yes, that'd be wonderful right now," Sango said.

"A picnic?! But we need to find Naraku and the rest of the jewel shards!!" Inuyasha complained. He was ignored, of course, as Kagome got the supplies out of her bag and started cooking.

"After this, we'll keep going," Kagome promised.

"Fine," Inuyasha grumbled. He sat down on the ground and crossed his arms, waiting grumpily for the food to get done.

Once dinner was over, they continued on their journey, just as Kagome had promised.

----------------------------------------

A little while later......

----------------------------------------

"Sango...." a voice whispered.

Sango froze. The others stopped as well.

"Sango-sama?" Miroku said. "What's wrong?"

Sango opened her mouth as if to say something, but no words came out. 'Am I the only one who hears it?'

"Mew?"

"Sango...." the voice whispered again, a little louder this time.

She slowly turned her head toward where the voice came from. The voices from the others faded out, and the only thing she could hear was the rustling of the bushes beside the path and the voice that persisted in calling her name.

"Sango...."

She took a step towards the bushes. She didn't want to, but something was pulling her.

"Sango..." the voice was getting louder.

Red eyes could be seen glowing from the bushes. She stopped. "No!" she cried, shutting her eyes tight.

"Sango!" This was a different voice....

She opened her eyes. "H-houshi-sama?" She looked into his concerned face, then at his hands that were on her shoulders.

"Are you alright? What happened?"

"I-it was nothing," Sango replied. She looked back at the bushes, only to see that the red eyes had dissapeared.

"Are you sure?" Miroku asked. He was obviously very worried.

"I'm sure," Sango said, looking back at him.

"Maybe you should ride Kilala," Kagome suggested.

"Okay," Sango replied. Kilala transformed to her larger form and Sango climbed on. Sango would've continued walking, but she was too shaken up and felt as though she wouldn't be able to if she tried.
