Chapter 10

"Kagome sure is taking a long enough." InuYasha said angrily.
"Ye need not worry InuYasha" Kaede reassured.
"Who said I was worried"
Sango sat in silence. Miroku who sat next to her, felt guilty he could not comfort her, but he tried his best to help Kohaku. His motionless body still lay there submerged in a deep state of unconsciousness.
"Sayuri…… I……" Kagome couldn't think of what to say.
Sayuri quickly turned away from her. She was silent for a moment and then spoke as if nothing had ever happened.
"How is the boy"
"Alright that's it! I'm gonna go look for her"
InuYasha was very important and was tired of waiting.
"I don't think that will be necessary…." Miroku said, staring though the doorway.
Kagome and Shippo were approaching the hut slowly with Sayuri by their side.
"She came back! I didn't think she would." Miroku said referring to Sayuri.
"Yea me neither." InuYasha agreed, thinking that Miroku was talking about Kagome.
They entered the hut in silence. They took the water to Sango and Kaede, who immediately used to change Kohaku's bandages.
As Sayuri had entered, she whispered with her head hung down in shame.
"I only came back to see how Kohaku was. Will he…… Did he"
For the first time since the strange happening that caused Sayuri to struggle for her very life, Sango spoke.
"Thank you so much Sayuri." He voice was shaking and tears were filling her eyes, "Thanks to you, I may once again have my little brother. I want to repay you but I have no idea.-" "I don't want you to repay me and I don't want to talk about it, please." Sayuri sat down. She looked tired and her voice sounded tired to. Her eyes were fixed on the boy's body. Sango realized that it wasn't that she was tiered but that she was deep in thought, filled with so many things that she was probably afraid to talk for fear of releasing those thoughts.
Later, Kagome and Kaede were preparing supper while Miroku and Sango watched over Kohaku. InuYasha was instigating a fight with Shippo, and Sayuri was sitting in the corner, with her chin on her knees, wandering in her own thoughts.
"Shuddup Shippo! It's not like you're the sharpest tool in the shed"
"Yea…. Well, I bet you don't even know what that means!" Shippo fired back.
"Oh yeah, and I'm sure YOU do?" InuYasha asked sarcastically. "Master InuYasha, I advise that you not make enemies of your allies," Myoga said, appearing suddenly on InuYasha's shoulder.
Kagome stopped stirring. "Myoga! Where'd you come from"
"It figures you show up now we can't do anything until He wakes up." InuYasha said pointing to Kohaku.
"What makes you say that?" Myoga asked with false innocence.
Sayuri silently rose to her feet and walked outside. InuYasha noticed and rose as well, dropping Myoga to the floor He flattened the flea as he fallowed Sayuri out the door.
"Where are they going? Sango questioned.
"Shhh!" Miroku scolded. "I can't hear what they're saying!" The two girls rushed to his side to listen in as well.
"Sayuri… Sayuri! Look at me!" InuYasha grabbed her shoulder as she wheeled around.
"What!" the anger resonated from her threat.
Miroku whispered to Kagome, "It seems as though they are arguing"
"Things are not always as they seem." Myoga commented. "Just listen"
"You told me they were gone"
"They were! But they've come back"
"Why"
"I don't want to answer that! I don't have to so I'm not going to"
"I don't care if you want to or not! You told me that it stopped. You Lied! Answer me… Why did they come back"
"Don't Be stupid! You know Why! It's different than before……" Sayuri stopped yelling and now, the three who were listening had to strain their ears to hear what was being said. "There's no one to keep them away now. Back then I had good memories, Now, I have only the bad and I'm fighting this on my own. I'm in this alone so it's a lot harder"
InuYasha sat down next to Sayuri who had been sitting to explain why her visions in her sleep had returned. Miroku turned to Myoga who was sitting on Kagome's shoulder. "Do you know anything about this"
"A bit…. Sit down and I'll explain"
