Starting Out Fresh

Chapter 17: What's he up to?

'Inuyasha! Why is it that you've been going out with Kikyo so often all of a sudded without us?" Sango asked suspiciously. Every since Kagome left, Inuyasha brought the clay pot and was always leaving with her for days at a time, while Miroku and Sango stayed be themselves. Even though they liked being together, it was kind of suspicious.

"It's because I'm able to do more things than you can." Kikyo said. Sango glared at her and was always ready to kill her. They all sat down for dinner. Inuyasha was ogling over Kikyo, because, well, he didn't have to choose anymore. Sango glared at them in disgust everyonce in a while and Miroku kept silent.

''I'm going to bed.'' Inuyasha said after eating to his fill. Kikyo followed him with emotionless eyes. I've got to find out what he's up to,before its to late! Sango thought. She waited for a couple of hours, which wasn't very hard because you could hear the moans and screams Kikyo and Inuyasha were making for a while. Once Sango was sure everyone was asleep, she started to look around. Growing frustrated, she went to ask for help.

''Miroku!'' Sango hissed into Miroku's ear.

''Huh? Let me stay in for five more minutes...'' Miroku mumbled. Sango sighed deeply.

''No! Miroku, get up NOW!'' Miroku started to rub his eyes and sat up straight.

''Miroku, I think something is going on that Inuyasha doesn't want us to know about. I mean, he's leaving with Kikyo for hours and is alway angry when he comes back. And he's never letting us come with him when he leaves.'' Miroku nodded in agreement. ''Can you help me look for some clues, because something horrible will happen to Sesshomaru and Kagome if we don't, I know it!''

''Sango, we've been looking for forever!'' Miroku whined. They had been looking for a while, and it was about midnight.Sango rolled her eyes.

''Well, we don't need to keep on looking.''

''Why do you say that?''

''Because I think we found our answer.'' Sango said while silently motioning Miroku over. Miroku came to where Sango was and looked in amazement.

''Wow, he got all these Shikon Shards with Kikyo! I can understand that Kikyo can see the Shards, but Inuyasha defeated all those demons!'' Miroku said to Sango. There was about third of the shards in a small glass bottle.

''He must be up to something. Inuyasha couldn't have gotten all those shards in a few weeks when it took us weeks to find a shard! We have to tell Sesshomaru and Kagome. We'll bring the shards to them and see if they can think of anything that Inuyasha might be trying to do. We have to leave now, because once Inuyasha figures out we took the shards, he won't be able to sniff us out.'' Miroku nodded and started bringing their things. ''Kirara! Transform! We have to leave now.'' Kirara obeyed her master and transformed into te ferociuos tiger demon.

''I have everything.'' Miroku said. Sango nodded and put the things on Kirara's back and the two hopped onto Kirara as they left the camp site.

Inuyasha woke up late in the morning and cursed under his breath. ''Sango! Miroku! Why the heck did you let me sleep in so late?'' he began putting on his clothes.

''Inuyasha, why are you up? Stay here with me.'' Kikyo said to him. Inuyasha ignored her and left to see where the two were.

''You guys are going-- huh?'' Inuyasha looked around while Kikyo cam up to him.

''I think they left you. Their things are not here anymore.'' she said. Inuyasha growled.

"Well, at least we have the shards.''

'' I don't sense them.''

''WHAT!'' Inuyasha went toward the hiding spot and saw that the shards were not there. ''Come on, Kikyo, we've got to find them, before they find out what we were doing when we left.'' Kikyo nodded while Inuyasha started to sniff around, hoping to find their scent.

''He probably will find out what happened soon enough. But he can't find us now.'' Sango said. She noticed Miroku was shifting around.

''I need to go to the bathroom.'' Sango rolled her eyes.

'' What is it?''

''Number two.''

''Fine, but hurry up!'' Miroku dashed to the closest tree once Kirara finally stopped. After a while, Miroku cam back, looking very relieved.

''You feel better?'' Sango asked in a frustrated tone. Miroku nodded.

''Yeah, let's go.'' Miroku said while bring his hand toward Sango's butt. Sango smacked him, but not very hard. If Inuyasha heard the slap, they would be found for sure.

''You'll never learn! I'm so dissapointed, you had a no groping streak for a whole six days!'' Sango said shaking her head. ''Come on, Kirara, let's go.'' Kirara leaped foward and they started to travel again.
