A.N. Ok, just so everyone knows…this is only my second or so fanfic. I'm not very good at it but I'm trying. I want to thank SanMirInukag for giving me my first review! Thank you so much! Also, Kagome's note is a song by Whitney Houston called I Will Always Love You. On to the next chapter..

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha and company, nor do I own the song in this chapter.


Chapter 2: The notes.

Sango stared at the cackling flames of the orange fire with eyes that were glazed over. She couldn't believe it. She still held the note Kagome had left for her in her left hand. She couldn't figure out why Kagome would think that or why she felt she had to do what she did…

Flashback

Sango walked into Kaede's hut with Hiraikoutsu (spelling?) strapped onto her back. She just got back from training in the woods. She was lucky today and came across a very weak demon with a jewel shard.

She looked around the hut and narrowed her eyes as a certain houshi creeped up behind her putting his hand where it didn't belong…

"HOUSHI-SAMA! YOU ARE SUCH A HENTAI!" Sango screamed as she whirled around and planted her hand right on his left cheek. She pulled her hand away and smirked at the large red handprint she left on his face. Then she walked to her sleeping bag and sat on it. She set Hiraikotsu down and leaned it against the wall.

She pulled Kirara into her lap and scratched behind her ears listening to her little cat demons content purr.

Sango glared at the monk who sat down across the room from her. Then she looked down to where his gaze was. It was on two pieces of parchment that were lying on the floor a few feet away from them. On one was scribbled the name 'Miroku' and on the other was 'Sango'. The monk grabbed the parchment that had his name on it and stared at it. The penman ship was excellent. Sango quickly grabbed hers and tore it open.

End Flashback

Sangos' eyes began to water at the memory of the letter.


Miroku didn't sit very far from Sango but his mind was, surprisingly, not on her ass. He glared at the wall as if it would bring his friend back. He looked down at the simple parchment that had been left for him and then glared at that. How could Kagome do this to them? How could she just…no, he wouldn't think about it now. Now was the time to try and cheer up his love.

Miroku looked over at Sango in time to see her shudder. She had been depressed since they got back from the woods...well, since she got back from the woods. She didn't know he was following her. Then his violet gaze drifted to the young kitsune who was curled up in a ball next to the large fire neko.

He felt pity for the kitsune. Kagome was like another mother to him. Miroku's thoughts drifted back to Kagome and how she just up and left them all to suffer. He doubted that she even thought about how this would affect them. He crumpled the parchment and threw it over his shoulder and into the fire.


Inuyasha sat in the Goshinboku staring at the parchment. He didn't want to read it. For the first time in his life he was afraid…afraid of what a simple letter might say. He could tell from the other members of his pack that whatever it said wasn't good. And damn everything to hell if he was going to sit around and let whoever was hurting his pack keep putting them in such depression.

Suddenly his mind drifted back to Kagome. Was the letter from her…no, it couldn't be. Kagome would never hurt anybody like his pack was hurt now…but then, where was she? If she went home she would have told him. Right?

He glared at the simple piece of parchment and then sighed. He couldn't deny it any longer. The parchment reeked of Kagome's beautiful scent. But then something made his nose twitch. He brought the letter up to his nose and took a whiff. The letter was covered in Kagome's tears.


A.N. I'm sorry these first couple of chapters are so short! I'm suffering from writers block right now. Please R&R! I would really like to know what everyone thinks of this story.
