"Bah! He always runs away! He's so scared of me! That's why it's so hard to kill him, he always chickens out and runs!" InuYasha stopped as he felt like he was talking to no one. "Hey! Kagome are you listening?" InuYasha twitched his nose and waited.
Kagome looked up. "I'm sorry… I'm just worried about Sango." Kagome turned to the room behind them with the door open by a couple of inches. All she could see was Miroku sat at Sango's side on a chair against her bed. Kagome stood and InuYasha twitched his nose again. "I'm going to see how she's doing." Kagome walked towards her bag.
InuYasha stared at her with a puzzled look. "But the room is over there."
"Oh I know it's just I think Miroku must be quite hungry by now I mean it has been a day, he hasn't even slept in that time and has had very little to eat and drink. Also we need to change Sango's bandages and…" Kagome stopped; she'd got out some food for Miroku, which she had made with great care earlier in the day however she could find no aids to treat Sango. "Oh no! Damn it! I've run out, and I can't go back home to get some…" Kagome remembered Sango's words, 'it's a one way trip,' she swallowed and stood up.
Miroku turned to hear a polite knock at the door. He waited to see who was going to enter. He smiled as Kagome walked in, carefully carrying her prepared meal on a paper plate.
"How's she doing?" Kagome questioned even though she had a rough idea of her condition.
Miroku sighed, "she hasn't moved at all or woken up since she fell unconscious, I've stayed by her side but I don't know what else I can do for her." Miroku saw Kagome place the plate of egg-fried rice in front of him. "Kagome, what's all this? It looks delicious." Miroku complimented.
Kagome smiled, "you must be hungry, I'm sorry but it's all I had left from the future world to cook. I think you should get some sleep too." Kagome advised.
"Thank you, but I can cope I will stay awake until Sango awakens, and thank you for the food, you'd make a great wife someday being able to cook like this." Miroku helped himself to the meal.
Kagome turned red again. "Speaking of wives, linking to relationships, it's obvious you have strong feelings for Sango. I mean you don't often do this and you look so worried about her, more worried than you did when you heard Mushin was going to die, I mean he was your foster father. You don't have to be afraid to accept your feelings." Kagome waited for the reply.
"I don't know where you got this whole idea from but we're just good friends. Her condition is very serious and I'm afraid that she might die. I want to do everything I can to help her. I think she needs some more bandages." Miroku swallowed the last of his food and waited for Kagome to hand him the future aids.
Kagome lost her smile, "I'm afraid I have none. I can't go back to my time to get some either." She looked out the window at the small village. "Perhaps that village will have something I should go and check." Kagome stood.
"No wait!" Miroku shouted. Kagome turned. "I'll go, I need to do something to help. Kaede can watch Sango and us four will go to the village." Miroku shook Shippo awake.
