Chapter 6: Sunset and Sunrise

Keelala strode through the sunset in a fiery blaze. Sango and Kagome hung on as the fire cat sped across the pink and red sky.

"Kagome!" shouted Sango through the rush of air, "we can't get there today! We'll have to stop!"

"Ok then, I can see a clearing down there!" Kagome yelled back.

Sango nodded. "Keelala, down!" With a friendly roar, Keelala dove towards the clearing. Diving rather quickly, Sango in the front slipped her hands firmly into Keelala's silky fur. Kagome put her arms around Sango's waist and turned her head away from the rush of wind.

When all three of them had all of their feet firmly on the ground, Kagome could hear a familiar voice. "WIND TUNNEL!" it screamed as a whooooooosh was heard. "Miroku!" Kagome shouted. Suddenly, the whooooooosh stopped.

Kagome, with no explanation to Sango, ran towards where she had heard Miroku's voice. Her childhood friend (and Inu Yasha's) stood pulling the blessed beads onto his wrist.

Miroku looked up. "K-Kagome?"

"MIROKU!" Kagome shouted as she threw herself into his arms. Sango came up behind her.

Miroku let go of Kagome as he eyed Sango. "Kagome, who is this?" he asked.

"Ah, this is Sango, the Demonslayer. She's been helping me."

Mirkou smiled warmly. "pleased to meet you," he said pleasantly.

Sango blushed lightly and held out her hand. "Th-the pleasure's all mine."

Miroku and Sango shook hands and Kagome said, "Miroku, what were you doing out here?"

"Looking for you, of course! What else? Seshomaru is around here too, and-"

"Is Inu Yasha here too?"

"No, his mother's put him under lock-down. He knows about Kikyo, but his mother just thinks he's getting cold feet. She's forcing Inu Yasha to marry Kikyo because she thinks Kikyo is you!"

Kagome's eyes widened. "But, Inu Yasha isn't falling for it, is he?"

Miroku shook his head no. "Kaji isn't falling for it, either."

Kagome thought of her fiery chestnut stallion. His eyes would roll and his body would shake if someone tried to touch him. Instantly, Kagome's eyes started to tear up.

"Kagome, don't cry!" exclaimed Sango. "We'll get there in time! Don't worry!"

"Yes," agreed Miroku. "But for now, we'll need to make camp and find Seshomaru."

"No need."

Kagome and Sango turned to see the older royal prince standing there, with his pointy ears and claws and dangerous golden eyes that threatened anyone who would dare to cross him.

"Seshomaru!" exclaimed Miroku and Kagome. Sango bowed lightly before the prince. Seshomaru nodded.

"Kikyo almost got herself trampled by your horse, Kagome," Seshomaru stated. His eyes twinkled and his straight-as-a-line mouth curved at the edges into an easy smile.

"Seshomaru…" said Kagome. "The wedding is tomorrow morning, yes?"

Seshomaru nodded. "But we can't go back tonight, Kagome."

Kagome nodded. "We'll have to make camp," declared Sango for the third time that day.

Soon, the four young people were sitting around a fire, warming themselves under the stars. Miroku and Sango were talking, and Kagome had fallen asleep, holding Keelala. Seshomaru just sat there, staring at the abyss of the night sky.

Brother, he thought to himself, I'll get her to you as soon as possible. I promise, Hold the wedding as long as you can… or her heart will surely break…
