CH.2
That night about 3 in the morning, the girl's eyes slowly fluttered open. She moaned and reached up with one hand to feel of her aching head. There, she found a big lump. "Owww ", she moaned as she gently touched the lump on her forehead. She then felt thirsty and decided to get up and get something to drink. She tried to sit up, but barely made it two inches off the ground. Her head swirled and spiraled with dizziness. She moaned once again and as she waited for the dizziness to go away. "Need some help?" she heard someone say. She opened her eyes a bit and glanced in the direction of the voice to see who it was. There in the corner of the hut sat Inuyasha, his eyes wide open as he waited for a reply. She simply shook her head no in reply and closed her eyes once again. "Humph, have it your way." He said, and closed his eyes to go back to sleep. The girl sighed and closed her eyes. Soon sleep over took the two but not before the hanyou silently thanked God that the girl was back to him, and that she was ok.
The next morning Sango awoke first. She quietly got up from her place on the floor and walked over to a window that had a ragged, old, sheet covering it. She pulled it back to find the window covered in show. It had snowed so much last night it reached the window and closed it up. She sighed and pulled the sheet back over the window. She then walked over to the fire and added a bit more wood to it. It had gotten small over the night and the hut was a bit chilly. She then found the yellow backpack and began digging through it for something to eat but she found nothing. She sighed and set the pack back on the floor. She then walked over to where she had been sleeping and folded her blankets and placed them on some old shelves in the hut. After doing so, she walked over and sat down near the fire and let her mind wonder.
Miroku's eyes opened slowly. His body ached for more sleep but he needed to get up. He wouldn't allow himself to sleep all day. He sat up and yawned as he stretched. He noticed Sango sitting by the fire. She seemed to be deep in thought. He got up and made his way over to her side and sat down. "Good morning." He said in a low voice making sure not to disturb the others sleeping. "Good morning to you too." Replied Sango while keeping her gaze on the fire. "How's Kagome doing?" Asked Miroku trying to start a conversation. "I'm not sure. I haven't checked on her yet this morning." Replied Sango. "I see." Said Miroku. Then all got quiet as both lost themselves in thought.
Inuyasha opened his eyes to see Sango and Miroku sitting by each other near the fire. Both of them seemed to be deep in thought. He glanced over at the sleeping girl near the fire. 'She's finally awake.' He thought happily to himself. He was so glad she wasn't passed out any longer, and that she was only sleeping. He got up from his place in the room and walked over to the little window that Sango had looked out. He removed the rag and saw how high the snow was. He then made his way over to the girl. Sango and Miroku awoke from their thoughts and watched, as Inuyasha looked the girl up and down. He sniffed a couple of times then made his way back to his corner. Sango and Miroku watched with curiosity until he sat down. "Inuyasha, how is she?" Asked Sango. "She's getting better." He replied, and then closed his eyes to take a nap. He knew that once she was awake, she would be gone. And even though he couldn't blame her, he couldn't let her go.
