Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi does. But I can say I own Kimisa, and I own this story, so don't steal it!
That disclaimer went nicely...now lets get to the part you've been waiting for...the chapter! (Hoot! Hoot!)

Finding What Was Lost
By: Sanci J
Chapter 5: Kimisa's Gaze and Sango's Anger
-
Last Chapter...
Miroku hadn't heard Sango, and if he had, he was completely ignoring her. He stared into Kimisa's mesmerizing dark eyes and found he couldn't look away. He didn't want to look away. 'She is so wonderful...I...I think I...love her.'
End of Last Chapter.
'He can be such a jerk!' Kagome thought as she stepped out of the shower. 'I should have sat him, after all he did deserve it...calling me wench. He meant it as an insult too.'
Kagome held her peach colored towel close to herself and took out her toothbrush. 'Why is he so annoying? Does he try to be? I wonder why I put up with him. Usually he's much nicer in his human form. Maybe it's because he's at my house over night. He was nicer than usual for a little while earlier though, so I can't really complain.' She blushed to herself, remembering when she woke up to find Inuyasha sleeping next to her. 'It was really nice. He was so warm and being there with him was so comfortable. I hated having to get up. But I was embarrassed when she caught us like that. It makes me feel like I was doing something terrible. I didn't like proving her point from earlier either.'
Kagome smiled widely and brushed her teeth. 'What am I doing, thinking about Inuyasha this way? Remember, Higurashi? He told you to your face, he chose Kikyou, and he loved her too. Give up on him already.' She mentally scolded herself. 'Never mind Inuyasha, I should be thinking of Hojo. Or...Kouga. They actually have feelings for me, and they're always nice.' She cleaned her brush and put it away.
She shivered, her skin was getting goose bumps. 'I've got to dry off quickly. It's freezing in here.' She lifted her right, slippery leg onto the toilet and used her towel to quickly dry it off. The foot slipped along the edge and fell off, making her lose her balance. She fell, her head hitting the bathtub and her legs bouncing off of the sink and toilet. It make a nasty sounding clunk. Loud enough for a certain half-demon or half- human to hear.
Her head racked with pain, as did her back. She held her forehead in her hands. "Owwww...that hurt so bad!" she whispered, not wanting Inuyasha to witness a second disaster by her. 'I am such an idiot!'
"Kagome? Are you okay? I heard a loud noise...did you fall?" Inuyasha's voice muffled through the door.
She didn't hear him, she was too busy trying to make her head stop hurting so she could get some clothes on. ( Author: Remember, Kagome is naked still!)
"Kagome! If you don't talk, I'm coming in there!" Inuyasha yelled through the door.
This time she heard. "I'm fine...fine." She whimpered right before the door crashed open and all Inuyasha could hear was Kagome's screaming.
"Fine, you idiot. Stay here then with...her!" Sango yelled angrily. "And don't you dare come back until you get rid of her!" She couldn't believe she had lost her cool. 'What's wrong with me?' She thought frustratingly as she stomped her way back to Kaede's.
Miroku blinked out of Kimisa's powerful gaze, and turned towards where Sango went off to. 'What happened to her?' he thought, confused.
He looked back at Kimisa. "Why did Lady Sango leave like that?"
Kimisa only stared into his eyes, then turned and walked away. 'This gets them every time.' She thought and smiled to herself.
"Hey! Where are you going Lady Kimisa? Answer my question!" He said running after her. He grabbed her delicate wrist and she stopped walking.
She turned her dark violet eyes on him. "I have errons, then I am going home, my houshi."
Oh, how he loved when she called him that, using that endearment. He had to...he just had to do it. Miroku pondered this. 'I don't want her to leave. I want her to stay.' He took her soft pale hands in his. "Lady Kimisa. We are meant for each other. Will you bear my child?"
Kimisa blinked in surprise. 'Is he serious?' "I will see you tomorrow, houshi." She said and walked away slowly. Actually, she sauntered away, making sure Miroku saw the sway of her hips. Oh, he did. And anybody could tell by the way he stared after her.
'She didn't hit me...and she didn't say no.' He was astonished by her reaction and laughed gaily. Usually every time he asked a woman to bear his child, he was smacked and hit, sometimes until he was unconscious. Some would just look at him in disgust and say no. But none, (that were old enough for him) had said yes-wait...no. Kimisa hadn't actually said yes. But she hadn't said no, either. She hadn't done anything. 'Wait, how can she say she'd be meeting me tomorrow if she doesn't know where I'll be?' She was already gone.
He sighed and noticed the sun was setting already. It was late, and Inuyasha and Kagome were probably back. Good. They needed more people to look for Shippou. The day was already passing, and him and Sango had had no luck.
He was solemn and in thought as he walked back to Kaede's through the forest. The wind blew, making a shrill sound. 'Something is wrong here. I sense an evil aura nearby.'
He ceased walking and waved his staff. All of a sudden the wind stopped and he paused, feeling puzzled. 'The feeling is gone.' He frowned and began walking faster towards Kaede's. 'I have to get to Sango. Ever since she ran off saying-what? What was she saying? I don't remember...I was too busy thinking about Lady Kimisa. She seemed pretty angry. Oh, man have I really done it this time...I thought she was beginning to have feelings for me too! I ruined it all...'
He remembered something and laughed. 'She was jealous! She really does care for me...trying to get Kimisa away from me! I should have noticed.' He grinned and began to sprint, making sure his sandals stayed on. 'Once I get back, I'll apologize to Lady Sango and then we can search for Shippou together.'
Sango called angrily for Kaede. "Miroku was doing it again! He obviously doesn't care any of us, let alone Shippou's safety!" Sango felt a wave of sadness and disappointment, but she hid her face in the darkness so Kaede couldn't see.
"Sango, try to stay calm." Kaede said, mixing some herbs. "I will try to find him as quickly as possible. First, ye need to wait for Miroku to return." She stirred the concoction.
Sango didn't know what was happening to herself. 'It's because Shippou has disappeared.' She glared at the opening of the hut. 'When Miroku shows up...' She clenched her fists and grabbed her boomerang. Kaede looked up.
"What are ye doing?" Kaede carefully stood. "Sango, running off to find him yerself isn't wise."
"Lady Kaede...I don't care right now. Miroku doesn't even want to help. I already had words with him and his recent sweetheart! I'm going to find Shippou. The longer we wait, the harder it will be to find him." She walked to the opening. "I'll try to be back by morning." Kaede opened her mouth to speak, but Sango held up her hand. "You cannot talk me out of it, either."
"Hurry then. It is not safe to go by yerself this late Sango. Here is some bread. I hope it will last you." She handed Sango the bread and she put it in her kimono next to Kagome's cell phone.
"It will. Thank you Lady Kaede." Sango attempted a smile.
"I worry for young Shippou also, ye know. Be careful." Kaede hoped Shippou was safe as she watched Sango leave.
Sango felt a harsh wind blow at her when she walked out and almost lost her balance. 'How did it get so windy already?' She usually didn't mind the extra breeze, but it became too chilly and it made an eerie sound, as if an evil spirit was near. She listened for any distinct sounds, but the only sounds she heard were natural ones.
The wind stopped all of a sudden and Sango shivered. It wasn't the cold shiver, but the one you get when you feel like someone's watching you. She looked to all of her sides, but there was no one.
She came to a clearing. There were two paths. One into a forest, or the other into the village. Her mind told her to go to the village, it was safer. But for some reason she was drawn to the dark forest. 'Which way would Shippou have gone? If he ran away, he would have come back by now. He's too scared to be on his own. Either he's kidnapped, or gotten lost. Please, let Shippou be okay!' Without another thought, she ventured into the dark forest.
"Shippou!" she called out.
No answer.
"Shippou!" she yelled even louder, cupping her hands over her mouth.
Still no answer.
The sun was disappearing quickly and it became difficult for her to see. She jumped when she heard a few twigs snap. Swiveling in the direction of the noise, she almost crashed into a tree. Jumping back, she gripped her boomerang. Her protection.
"Shippou, is that you?" Sango asked nervously and stepped forward slowly, letting her eyes adjust to the darkness.
