Chapter 3
Whirling the Hiraikotsu over her head she sent it hurtling at the demon that held Miroku. Slicing off its arm at the shoulders, she watched as Kilala picked him up and brought him back to her.
"I told you to be more careful, monk," growled Sango as Kilala landed.
"I know, but since Kagome left us we need to be more reckless if we plan on winning," replied Miroku, gingerly stepping down off Kilala. As his feet hit the ground, he fell hard, twisting his ankle. Sango rushed over to him and helped him to sit up.
"Its nothing, the demon just hurt my leg," said Miroku, lifting his robes to show his injured leg.
"More like sliced open your leg. You won't be able to stand for weeks," said Sango. Then she remembered something Miroku had said, "What exactly do you mean by 'since Kagome left us'? And by the way, where's Inuyasha?"
"Sango," asked Miroku, looking at her funny. "Kagome went back to her Era three years ago after pinning Inuyasha once more to the Sacred Tree."
"What?!" exclaimed Sango. "But we're not done collecting the jewel shards and haven't destroyed Naraku!"
Miroku raised an eyebrow and inquired, "Are you feeling all right? We obtained the jewel and destroyed Naraku. Kagome took it back to her Era three years ago."
Sango stared at him and then heard thrashing behind her. Whirling, she found the demon she had hit running towards them. Suddenly she remembered something. This was all a dream. She wasn't supposed to be here. She was supposed to be talking to her father.
"Father! We must talk!" cried Sango as the demon was nearly upon them.
The landscape melted away the same way when water was splashed on an oil painting, leaving her in utter darkness. A bright light flared and Sango's father stepped out of the light, regarding her with angry eyes and crossed arms.
"Why have you summoned me so earlier?" said her father, voice becoming louder with every word. "We talked no more then twenty minutes before and that is hardly enough time to make it to the Prince's Kingdom, Sango."
"Father, I cannot meet the Prince. Miroku has already proclaimed his love to me and I cannot, no, will not–"
"I do not care whether your monk has proclaimed his love or not. Will you bury an old man's wishes so easily?" cut in her father.
"No, father. I just wish for you to know that I will never love another li–"
"You will go to the Kingdom at dawn; you will meet the Prince, and then you shall tell me your decision."
Sango stared up at her father with tears in her eyes. She couldn't do it. She had to do as her father wished. He was dead after all. "Yes, father," she said meekly.
"That's my girl. Now, wake up and leave for the Kingdom. It's about a two-day fly on Kilala. Good luck, daughter," kissing her forehead, he vanished.
Sango sighed and woke herself up.
"I'm going to look around," said Miroku suddenly. He stood and brushed himself off.
"What for? You already left once already. What do you need to go look at?" asked Inuyasha, opening one eye.
"Nothing, it's nothing. It's almost dawn and I have things to do," smiled Miroku. Inuyasha glared at him but didn't stop him as he vanished into the trees.
Kagome watched him leave and stood suddenly as well, eyes worried.
"Don't tell me you want to leave too?" barked Inuyasha.
"Miroku's acting strange. I'm gonna follow him," Looking back at Inuyasha, she saw him glowering at her. "You can come too."
"Damn monk," muttered Inuyasha as Kagome left. "Shippo, watch the camp. I'll be back soon."
"But Inuyasha!" cried the young fox demon as Inuyasha ran off into the forest after Kagome. "It's not fair! Why do they get to go play around and I have to stay here?" Pouting, Shippo crossed his arms and glared into the trees.
"You're late," said Sango, placing the Hiraikotsu on her back. Kilala was still partially asleep and was trying to stand.
"I'm sorry. Inuyasha wanted to know why I had to leave, so I had to take a different path in order for him not to follow," replied Miroku. Glancing at Kilala he sighed, "You're really going to go to the Northern Kingdom?"
"I must. It's my fathers' wish, even if…" biting her lip she moved closer to him. "Forgive me for leaving you. The Prince will not be able to win me over so easily."
"I hope not. If you don't return in a week to this very spot, I'm coming after you," said Miroku, wrapping his arms around her.
"Deal."
"Look! Miroku found Sango!" exclaimed Kagome in a surprised whisper. Inuyasha was beside her, on his stomach, trying unsuccessfully to move the Tetsusaiga sheath out of his ribs.
"I knew she had to be around here. I could smell her," retorted Inuyasha. Kagome lifted an eyebrow at him and gave a surprised gasp when Miroku embraced Sango.
"She did it! She took my advice!" murmured Kagome happily. Inuyasha stared at her and then at the two below.
"Lecher," muttered Inuyasha to himself. "Any minute now, he'll grab her ass and she'll slap him and then we can all continue our journey."
But what Inuyasha had thought, never happened. Instead, Miroku kissed Sango deeply before watching her leave on Kilala.
"What the h–" exclaimed Inuyasha, but was cut off as he hit the ground hard. Kagome was staring at him, eyes fuming with anger as she muttered the 'Sit' command over and over.
Miroku looked back at them and took a step back. How long had they been watching? Inuyasha was on the ground, the imprint of his body clear against the dirt and grass. Kagome was above him, anger fuming through her. Miroku laughed weakly and walked the other way, hoping they hadn't seen too much or heard too much.
"Miroku you ijit! You let her fly away without stopping her!" howled Inuyasha, standing and then sliding down the mountainside with Kagome not far behind.
"How long have you been there?" asked Miroku, rubbing the back of his head.
"About five minutes. Now let's follow her! She told you where she went; we saw it; so tell!" shouted Inuyasha. Miroku stepped back, laughing weakly and waving his hands as Inuyasha tried to pound on him. Kagome was looking at the ground and finally picked up a small sheet of paper.
"She went to the Northern Kingdom, Inuyasha. Leave poor Miroku alone," said Kagome, standing.
"The Northern Kingdom?" Inuyasha dropped Miroku onto the ground and walked over to Kagome.
"Yeah. Sango left this note in case Miroku decided not to tell us," shooting a glare at Miroku, she read, " 'My dear friends, I am terribly sorry for leaving without saying anything except to Miroku, but I must travel to the Northern Kingdom. My father said that he betrothed me to a Prince and this Prince lives in the North. I should be back in a week, to this very spot. Do not fret, I will be fine. Sango.' " Kagome looked up from the note and then passed it to Inuyasha for him to read.
"I can't believe you let her leave, Miroku. I'm gonna–"
"Sit!" shouted Kagome.
Inuyasha fell to the ground before he could finish his sentence, moaning as he struggled to get up.
"Will you stop doing that!?" snarled Inuyasha. Kagome crossed her arms and glowered at him before saying to Miroku, "Why didn't you stop her?"
"Well," scratching the back of his head, he laughed weakly, "She told me it was for her father, and I'm not one to criticize the dead."
"I highly doubt that, monk. I saw you kissi–"
"Sit!"
"STOP IT!"
"What Inuyasha meant to say, was that you two seem to be getting along pretty well," said Kagome, glaring at Inuyasha. Inuyasha was struggling to get up. This was beginning to become a nuisance. Kagome never said the 'S' word so many times unless she was angry, or wanted her way. Inuyasha edged closer to her.
"Yeah, we are getting along better. She hasn't slapped me in a while," said Miroku, blushing. They knew.
Inuyasha lunged and put his hand firmly over Kagome's mouth. Kagome was surprised and brought her elbow back, hitting him square in the gut, and then kicking him in the shin. She finally whirled and stopped just an inch from his nose where she was planning on breaking it and backed away.
"Don't EVER do that again Inuyasha," growled Kagome. "You know what's in store for you now that you pulled off that little stunt"
"No please, Kagome. I didn't me–"
"Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, SIT!" snarled Kagome. Inuyasha stayed on the ground then, too afraid to move.
"Now, where was I? Oh yes, Sango's leaving. You know we have to go after her. If she sees this Prince…" Kagome trailed off as she walked back up the hill and into the forest.
Inuyasha jumped up, ears lying flat on his head as he began to growl. Miroku was behind him, watching with an amused grin.
"She sat you at least ten times, Inuyasha. I think that's a new record!" laughed Miroku.
"Watch it, monk. And no that's not a new record. She's sat me a lot of times, you just weren't there when she said it on the hill," cracking his neck, he winced. "I think my back is going to be out for a week."
"Come now, she only did it because she didn't want you interfering," said Miroku, beginning to climb up the hill.
"Interfering my ass. She just wanted to put me into the ground!" whispered Inuyasha, following. He would get her for this, that was for sure. He would get her when she didn't even realize it.
