Chapter 4: Big Friends
Emerging out of the well, Inuyasha called out for his friends. "MIROKU! SANGO! SHIPPOU!"
"Inuyasha, please don't shout. My ears are still ringing." Kagome said, placing her hands on her ears.
Inuyasha looked around and started sniffing the air. "They should be here soon, Kagome." Inuyasha said.
Sango was the first to appear. "Inuyasha, where's Kagome?" Sango asked.
Inuyasha approached Sango. "Stick out your hands." Inuyasha said.
Doing so, Inuyasha then placed Kagome onto Sango's hands. "Kagome?!" Sango let out upon seeing Kagome.
"Watch her for me, will ya?" Inuyasha asked as he located Miroku and Shippou.
"Kagome… what happened?" Sango asked.
"I don't know. I really don't." Kagome said.
Inuyasha, Miroku and Shippou took off immediately. Setting Kagome down near the tree, Sango sat next to her shrunken friend.
"So, what do you want to do while the others search for Kikyou?" Sango asked.
"Is there anything I really can do?" Kagome wondered aloud.
"There has to be something to do to pass the time. Who knows how long it'll take them to find Kikyou…" Sango said.
Kagome merely sighed and remained silent. Sango just couldn't think of anything to cheer her friend up. They could be waiting for days or even weeks or maybe even longer until the guys found Kikyou.
"Say, do you want to just relax?" Sango asked.
"Huh?" Kagome let out.
Sango picked Kagome up. "Kirara." Sango called out to her youkai partner. Kirara emerged from the forest and Sango bent down. Kirara seemed shocked when she saw Kagome.
"It's okay, Kirara. Inuyasha and the others have gone to find someone to help her." Sango told her partner.
Kirara transformed into her giant form. Sango let Kagome down on Kirara's back and then climbed on herself. "You okay?" Sango asked, bending down to hear Kagome.
"Yeah, I guess…" Kagome answered.
Kagome was so nervous about riding on Kirara. Kirara looked so huge when she was in her small form that Kagome felt very uncomfortable. She held on to Kirara as tight as she could, but was comfortable that Sango was there with her. Kagome noticed that Sango was looking around.
"Kirara, down there." Sango said and pointed to something Kagome couldn't quite see.
"Kagome-chan, close your eyes." Sango instructed as Kirara began to lower itself to the ground. Kagome shut her eyes and waited as she felt Sango pick her up. Waiting for Sango's instructions to open her eyes, Kagome imagined where she could be. Certainly not Sango's hometown. That brings back too many painful memories. Kagome finally felt Sango gently place her on something.
"Open your eyes." Sango instructed.
Opening her eyes, Kagome could see the beautiful sky. She was on the edge of a cliff overlooking a forest. "Isn't the view just gorgeous?" Sango asked.
"Yeah…" Kagome said, taking in the beautiful sight.
Looking over the cliff made Kagome forget how small she really was. "Thanks. This really is helping me." Kagome said.
Sango had bent over and smiled at her little friend. "I'm glad you're cheering up. Being depressed just isn't you." She said.
Sango moved to pick up Kagome when a large gust of wind blew. "Look at you, you really are a little girl now." Kagura's voice called out.
Kagura appeared over the edge of the cliff, flying on her feather.
"Hee, I know somebody that wants you…" Kagura taunted.
"KAGURA!" Sango shouted out and threw a gas pellet that she had kept in her kimono.
"Oh please." Kagura said and released a gust of wind that knocked Sango back.
Kirara moved into attack but Kagura avoided the monstrous creature. Kagome tried to run but Kagura swooped down and grabbed her.
"Hee… This is gonna be something. That bastard Inuyasha really has no idea, does he…" Kagura said to Kagome.
