Kagome rolled around. She couldn't sleep. How could she when a dream, so realistic, was in her head. Who was he? And why did it hurt so much? She wanted to cry yet she didn't want to wake her friend for her own worries and fears. She stiffled her cries but she could not stop the tears from rolling down her face. She wiped it away clickly as she sat up and went to the dieing fire. Kagome took a stick and started to poke at the fire to blaze brighter.

Kagome stared at the fire. It felt like there was a fire burning inside of her, ready to burst any minute. But something was holding it back, what was it? She could hear a sturr and took her sword quickly in her hands but only found Sango turning in her sleep. Kagome sighed lightly, letting her tension back away. Something was making her tense and stiff but she yet did not know what. She layed down next to Sango, taking her blanket and covering herself. She, unknowingly, started to stare at the fire yet again. The reds, orange and yellow danced around and soon Kagome found herself slightly tired and closed her eyes.

Kagome woke up at the sound of rustling and sat up. She sighed as she only found Sango clearing up the fire.

"Wow, you seem tensed Kagome. What's wrong?" she asked as she kicked the charcoal and leftover burnt wood spreaded out, making a small black part in the grass filled ground. Sango walked over and sat next to Kagome. "Was it that dream you had yesterday?"

"You still remember?" Kagome asked, slightly surprised.

"Yes, I still remember. We're best friends remember? I can't stop from worrying and wondering what was wrong." Sango lightly giggled than gave Kagome a soft yet assuring smile.

"Your right," Kagome said. She gave a slight smile and looked down at her fisted hands. "Its just, I never thought a dream could take such an affect on me. It felt like it was tearing me apart." she felt her eyes slightly warm and watery. Before she knew it, she was crying. All the tension that was there yesterday was pouring out as the tears slid down her face.

"Kagome... father always said to be strong and hold all that emotion in but sometimes, it can also be a strenth. I think is one of those times so cry all you want Kagome." Sango patted Kagome's back and stroked her hair as though Kagome was her younger sister. It was true, Kagome and Sango were with eachother since they were young and Sango was older than Kagome around one year. Yet, it felt as though they couldn't be any closer than they already are. But, in this case, they were even closer in that of sister-friend relative. Not lover, but really cared for one another. If one felt pain, the other would feel it too, and if one felt great happiness, so would the other.

Kagome's saphire eyes blurred and she felt wetness roll down her cheeks. She touched them and than her eyes. As she guessed, she was crying. But for what, she did not know. All she knew right than was that she felt immense sadness. So, the only that could be done there, she broke down in tears.

Sango fell in step near her. She patted her back, repeating that everything was okay and nothing bad would happen not as long she would be there. Kagome just coughed and swallowed, trying to speak words but all that came out of her was coughs and hacks, the effect os trying to talk, thus swallowing her saliva too fast. Sango also felt the immense urge to cry right than, seeing her younger sister/friend in such deep pain yet she could do nothing to comfort her. After Kagome had settled down, Sango laid her near their bags and took a blanket out of one of them and put it ontop of Kagome. Its morning... but I think Kagome-chnan will need this time of rest, Sango turned around and sat on the other side of the campsite.

She thumped down on the hard, soiled/grassed ground and stared at the floating clouds up above. She sighed, The clouds always made me feel calm for some reason. Maybe it was the odd shape, or the fluffy, white, smoked color. And maybe the rustling of the leaves near by also... wait, rustling leaves? Sango sat up instantly and grabbed her katana that was nearby. It had seemed the person or whatever was there had started running since she could hear the rustling leaves start ringing farther and farther away. "Oh no you don't..." Sango whispered and ran at her top speed. It seemed it was meekly trained since Sango could catch up to it so quickly. "Ha!" Sango jumped up and dived for what seemed to be the place of the intruder... and she hit her target. A whelp was heard.

Sango got up, having one hand on the thing and the other on her katana. The 'thing' was small, like a 7-year old human child, maybe even smaller than that. The 'thing' had also started crying since something wet was starting to drip down her arm and seeped through her demon-slayer clothe. She could also hear small sobs. She turned the bundle of fur towards her face and saw it looked to be only a kitsune pup. "Huh?" Sango choked out.

The kitsune pup just wailed louder. Sango slightly jumped and tried to sush it down. She started to hold it in a lovingly way and pat its back. She whispered comforting words in its pointy little ears. While she was doing so, she noticed the blood marks it had, the ripped, brightly colored hakama it wore with strange patterns on it."It will be okay kitsune pup. Now, calm down and tell me what happened." Sango slightly looked around and found a place to sit. She sat the kitsune pup on her laps and brushed its tears away.

The kitsune pup sniffed and helped brush its tears away. He wagged his tail deligentely and started to speak. "Aren't you a-a-a demon hun-ter? A-a-ren't you go-going to ki-kill me?"

"Shh.. shhh... I shall not kill you seeing how you are. There must have been a great incident for such a young pup to leave its parents. Kitsunes, only for their mischief, is said to be dangerous but inside, they are truly good. And, I can see in your eyes the you are true hearted. Now, tell me what happened and I might be able to help." Sango smiled softly and brushed his hair. "Also, start with your name first too."

"O-okay. I-I am Shippo of the e-earth kitsune c-c-clan. My f-f-father was t-the leader an-and..." He sniffed and broke out in sobs again. Sango sweat dropped and dug inside her pocket. She pulled out a sweet smelling tangy stuff that was wrapped in cloth and layered with shells. She took out a piece and handed one to Shippo. He stopped sobbing and sniffed it. Smelling its sweetness, instantly popped it into his mouth. A smile quickly appeared on his face. "Mm... did you make this?" He asked. "No, my friend, Kagome makes these with some of the cacao beans we find along our travels." Shippo quickly smiled and asked her again," When can I meet her? I want more." Now, more of a childish look adorned his round, tanned face.

Sango laughed," Soon enough. Now, continue with your story."

Shippo again frowned but stopped sniffing, sighed, and started. "Well..."
