Staring at her wall. 'I love you.'
InuYasha glared at her. "Ignore her she got a life size poster of the band MCR…what ever that stands for."
'My Chemical Romance…how many times must I explain?'
InuYasha sighed. "Stop staring at your wall long enough to write this, eh?"
'Of course! I shall thank you all properly now! Starting with the fan that sent me that wonderful review I was talking about.'

Ghost of You
Chapter 10
Sense of Direction
"You think she was poisoned?"
Miroku nodded at the hanyou's quick reaction. "I don't sense a demon presence and you said yourself you couldn't smell anything at on her. It probably came quick at her like an attack."
Kirara mewed and stretched in Sango's lap and got a scratch behind the ear. InuYasha's own fluffy ear twitched. Poison? Could that be possible? Yes it was very possible…
Miroku continued. "A demon or person for that matter, could have attacked her, paralyzed her, and then poisoned her. If you let me inspect her, I think I could prove my point."
InuYasha narrowed his eyes at him. "I'm not letting you near her, bouzu."
"Then what about me?" Sango's voice came out small and weak. She looked extremely tired and a little frustrated. Her hair was frizzled and there were dark circled under her eyes. "What if I took a look at Kagome?"
"Why are ya asking me? You're not Miroku so I don't give a damn what you do!" InuYasha growled at her. Sango didn't flinch, sigh, or get mad. She just sat there, eyes glued at the floor. "Good then." Kirara jumped out of her lap and Sango left the hut.
InuYasha covered his eyes with his hand. "Damn it this is frustrating."
"We're only trying to help you InuYasha. You realize that?" InuYasha looked up at the houshi but quickly averted his gaze. "Yeah yeah. How many times have I heard this from you already?"
Miroku sighed. He was tired as well, no doubt the whole group was. Shippo was already asleep in the far corner, curled up in Kagome's sleeping bag. InuYasha leaned p against the wall. "Tomorrow we go and look for the rest of the shards, got it?"
Miroku rubbed the back of his head. "Wha? You wanna leave tomorrow?" He sounded more like Shippo in his tired exhausted voice. "InuYasha I know you want to complete the sacred Shikon Jewel but you realize we wont get it all done in one day!"
The hanyou bowed his head, his silver bangs covering his eyes. Miroku chose this point to continue, trying to get through to the hanyou. "And maybe there's another way to do it. We all have things we want to do with the jewel. Me, I see nothing I can really use it for so I'm out. Maybe Shippo would like his father back, hm? Sango her brother and father and the rest of her village? We could bring everyone that Naraku has slaughtered back to life.
"Don't take it the wrong way InuYasha, I love Kagome and I wish nothing more than for her to be back and walking around. Do you get it yet?" Miroku tilted his head up a little more. InuYasha's breathing was heavier almost like a small growl. At first the houshi thought InuYasha was upset with him. But upon father inspection—poking with the staff, tugging at the ear, snapping his fingers—Miroku found that InuYasha had fallen asleep.
He sighed, shoulders sagging. "I should have known. Well I guess it's best for him." Miroku stood up carefully not wanting to wake either demons and snuck quietly out of the hut. Had Miroku not even noticed the sleeping neko with the small snot bubble purring away? Guess not.
Sango felt along the younger girls back bone. From her tail bone and up, the bones and spine were perfectly in place. Until she reaches the neck. The spine had been dangerously pushed inward, making Kagome's neck a frightening shade of blue. Also where ht bones has broken so easily, Sango noticed a red blotch on the miko's skin spreading down her back and outward on her arms like small tiny vanes creeping along her back.
Sango sniffed back unwanted tears. She didn't feel like crying now. Slipping Kagome's miko shirt over her body, Sango laid the girl on her back again covering her toe to chest in blanket. She shook violently, sobs racking her entire form. This was not a good place to be right now.
The sunlight had streamed through the entire hut since someone had knocked the bamboo curtain down. Most likely InuYasha. But the sunlight from Sango's face had been blocked by a figure standing in the door way. The taijiya looked up. Make that two figures.
In front of Miroku stood old Lady Kaede. "Oh my. What happened to her?" Kaede gasped at Kagome's fallen form. Sango stood and bowed respectfully. "Kagome has been killed Kaede and we need find the remaining shards."
Miroku was about to start his hour long speech about how they could use the jewel for different purposes but he cut himself off. Was Kagome really more important than any of those things?
"I see. But ye look exhausted and ye plan to venture out tonight?"
Sango looked at Miroku, who shook his head. Sango turned back to Kaede and replied with a quick, "No not tonight."
"And where is InuYasha in all of this? Surely he is heart broken…" Kaede peered around the hut to find her search for the hanyou to be futile.
"He and Shippo are both resting right now, Lady Kaede." Miroku answered half smiling. They had all she their share of tears. How could he be the strong one when this was so damn hard?
Kaede discussed their plan for a few short moments before getting called off to tend to a patients wound. Sango tried pushing past Miroku but he wouldn't budge. "Houshi-sama I need to—."
"Sango what do you want to do with the jewel?" The question threw Sango completely off so Miroku explained. "If you had the completed Shikon no Tama in your hands, what would you wish for?"
"Kagome." Sango nodded. "My father and the village are dead and I've learned to accept that. Besides, this is InuYasha's decision, not mine."
Miroku looked puzzled. Sango continued. "The jewel did originate in my village, yes, but this is InuYasha's choice and I stand by that choice."
"You think it's Kagome?"
"I know it is Houshi-sama. It's a gut feeling." Sango squeezed Miroku's arm and he let her pass. The houshi stood there for a long moment turning over what Sango had told him in his head over and over again. If that truly was the decision he stood by it 100 percent also.
"Good bye Kagome." Miroku bowed, said a quick prayer, and then slowly walked back to the hut.
Somewhere in the edge of the woods stood a very lonely looking figure. A woman by chance. She stood about five feet nine inches tall with her long black hair pulled into a wavy pony-tail. Her dark black kimono with fire red trimming made her almost unnoticeable in the dark woods. A small cat/snake creature curled around her feet, up her spine, then rested on her head. "The girl is dead, Gouka?"
The creature hissed, its fangs showing, the tips dark red like blood. The woman's lip curled into a smirk, her black creamy lip stick seeming glued to them. "Good. Now…we kill that hanyou. They'll pay for killing my beloved Naraku." Ren's black claw smeared away the blood from her creature's fangs. "They both will. One after the other."
Ooooooh………if you don't know how Ren is, check out Resurrection or my friend's stories. Her SN on is NarakusMate. Anyway, now we know who's done it and what they're motive is. Now we need to know one more thing…who stole my bag of skittles?
InuYasha slowly walks off the set. Shel growls. "Review while I'll kill him." Grabs her shovel. "INUYASHA GET BACK HERE!"
"No way!"
…oh and for those of you who want to know... Resurrection is on lay-away…I might discontinue it…
