Kagome Stomped in the village, clenching her fists tight from her argument with Inuyasha. She was looking for a certain someone else though. Someone far out from Inuyasha.
"Miroku?!" She yelled as she came across some graveyards. "Where are you?!" She looked around and couldn't find that monk. Grr…She thought. What if he was in the hut where Sango lay and he could be…? "Gross" Kagome whispered trying to get some certain pictures out of her mind. She bit her lip and yelled again. "Miroku?!" She heard someone clear their throat. Kagome turned around.
"Inuyasha! Did you see Miroku?" Inuyasha glared and scratched his head.
"No, because I just got back from having my face in the ground eating dirt!" Inuyasha spat. Kagome glared back.
"Argh! I should have known not to leave you in charge of leaving that perverted monk with Sango." Kagome said pouting. Inuyasha smirked.
"Yeah you should have." He teased. Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Do you want me to command you to-?"
"No!" Inuyasha yelled. "Anything but that." Kagome smiled. She looked away; this gave him the chance to sigh. Inuyasha sniffed the area. "He better not be in the hut, or his head's mine." Inuyasha said. Kagome scoffed.
"And mine." She corrected. Kagome looked in the clearing and saw someone approaching. She smiled and waved.
"Hey Kaede!" She yelled. The old women waved at the Miko. Inuyasha looked at Kaede carrying some herbs and fabric in her hands. The women couldn't really hold her balance. It's a miracle she was still alive, and healthy to say the least… Kaede approached.
"Hey child." She smiled. "Hey Inuyasha." She said loud enough for him to hear.
"Hi." He simply replied. Kagome rolled her eyes and then looked back at Kaede.
"Kaede, have you seen Miroku?" Kaede laughed. In the distance Kagome heard someone else approaching. It became clearer and she saw Miroku coming with a pile of wood in his hands. "Miroku?" Kagome asked surprisingly. She looked at Inuyasha with a confused look. Inuyasha returned the look back. Miroku came near to Kagome and almost dropped a chunk of wood on her foot.
"Yeah?" He asked nearly out of breath. Kagome laughed.
"Where have you been?" She asked. Miroku sighed.
"Let's see…After you left, I went to help Kaede, and then I went to help Kaede, and after that, I helped Kaede…Again…" Miroku said. "Why? Did you miss me?" He asked a twinkle in his eyes. Kagome clearly giggled.
"Not exactly." She replied. Miroku frowned. Kaede moved a bit farther from the group and told them a goodbye.
"Well I have to deliver these herbs to one of the huts down the village, so I'll be seeing ye in a bit…And Miroku, please keep your hands to yourself. And assure Lady Kagome to the other stack of firewood." Then she was gone. Kagome looked at Miroku.
"I have to get some more firewood, but I can do it myself." Miroku said. Kagome smiled.
"No it's ok, I'll help." She answered and grabbed a handful of wood, then turned to Inuyasha. "Do me a favour, and check up on Sango. See if she's doing fine, and don't do anything stupid." She said sounding serious. Inuyasha nodded.
"Yeah yeah…" He said and drifted off to see the slayer. He walked towards her hut that she lay in and quietly moved aside the curtains, and entered. His eyes widened as he stared at an empty bed. Where the hell was Sango?! Inuyasha began to panic. His heart kept beating on and on. He felt as if it would pounce right out of him. He turned around and ran out of the hut. He stood sniffing. He didn't really care if he was acting all worried. This was an emergency. She was ill, she was weak…and she was gone. She couldn't have brought a weapon with her. She was far to injured to even hold a stick in her hands. Inuyasha got a small scent of the slayer, and dashed out in the woods. When he was far enough to not be heard he drastically called her name.
"Sango?! Sango where are you?" He called. He dashed into some other parts of the forest and felt a stick stab into his foot. He let out a small cry of pain. He stopped running and tried to feel her presence once more. It was the exact same. Too little of a presence to sense out. He cursed.
"Damn! Where the hell are you stupid?!" Inuyasha felt some anger built out. He ran again into another part of the forest and looked around. There was still no sign of her. He kept on running for another ten minutes, and then stopped in the last part of the forest. He imagined how far away he could have been from the village. He didn't care. Inuyasha looked around, and saw nothing but a bunch of trees and a clear blue sky. He walked over to a tree, held up a fist and pounded the snot out of it.
"You stupid girl!" He yelled. He hit the tree yet again. "Why'd you leave that hut? Thinking you're so strong to leave on your own…" He growled. "Damnit Sango!" A sweat drop fell from his forehead. He went to wipe it off, but his ears twitched and he looked around the corner. He saw a figure walking emotionless around the trees. His nose started tingling and he slowly walked towards the person. He was close enough that he put a hand on the shoulder, and turned them around quickly until he was eye to eye with the person.

Meanwhile
"Ow!" Kagome screamed. Miroku dropped the lumber he was carrying and ran to her.
"What is it?" He asked. Kagome held a finger to his face.
"Another sliver!" She said. He began to laugh.
"Your third one already." He teased. Kagome looked at him with sad eyes. She put her finger in her mouth and tried to take the wood out of her finger. Miroku looked over her and saw the piles of lumber she collected. He smiled.
"You're better than me at these things…" He said. He made it sound like he was disappointed. Kagome looked over his shoulder. She saw a smile pile of lumber. She giggled.
"I guess I am." She took her finger out of her mouth and looked at the cut. Miroku took her finger and lowered his right hand in a pocket and pulled out a sharp pin. Kagome yanked her finger away.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Relax." Miroku reassured and took her finger back. "It won't hurt too much." Kagome shut her eyes tightly and mumbled a
"I hope you're right…" Kagome looked at him. She wondered how Miroku could act so brave, when deep down she knew he was aching from the confusion happening around the group. She felt sympathy for him, for she was facing the same tantrum he did. He loved Sango, and she loved Inuyasha. The thought of her best friend, and the guy she loved sort of made her depressed in a weird way. But there's Miroku…The cool and calm one. She laughed slightly. Out of every women that he asked to bear their child, he saved the last question for his favourite person…Sango…She wondered if Miroku even knew about Sango and Inuyasha. Possibly no…but then again, no one but she and Kirara knew this…
"I got it!" Miroku cried with glee. Kagome jumped in shock. She looked at the pin and her finger.
"Yeah you got it." She replied smiling. Miroku was practically dancing of his accomplishment. "Slow it down Elvis." She laughed. Miroku stopped dancing and looked at her.
"Who?" He asked. Kagome giggled.
"Nothing" She replied, and yanked his hand. "Let's head back to the village. You can teach me something's about the Buddha paper things you have." Miroku smiled with glee.
"Yeah!!" He said and pulled her as he walked quickly back.

Meanwhile
Inuyasha turned the person over, and he went breathless.
"Sango!" He said. She was shaking. He figured she was cold. But she wasn't really in reality. Her eyes were closed and she was mumbling something's really weird. Inuyasha held her face. She'd been sleepwalking.
A tear escaped her lids. He took his thumb and brushed the tear away roughly. He held her waist and felt her shiver in his touch. How long had she been out here for? How long has this sleepwalking disaster start? Inuyasha embraced her. Hopefully to calm her down, and for him to provide her warmth. He picked her up bridle style and clutched on her clothing hard enough so she wouldn't fall off. Inuyasha ran back to the village. He could feel Sango move in her sleep. The pain in her head made her want to cry again. Another small tear fell down her face. She indicated that she wanted to be held tightly from her squirming in his grasp. He did tighten his grasp and Sango fell unconscious in someway again. Inuyasha made his way out of the forest and walked into the hut. He wanted to place her on the bed, but as he lowered her body, she clutched hard onto his sleeves and shoulder. He stopped motioning her to the bed, and sat down himself with her in his arms. She clearly couldn't handle any non supervision. He leaned against the wall with her and let her rest on his chest. He looked down at her. He took in the bruises and scars all around. He touched her cheek. There was a long cut on her chin that made its way to half of the neck and a couple of more above her lip and on her nose. She was pale. Without realizing Inuyasha held her tighter and shut his eyes. Without trying to or intending to…He fell asleep. The girl in his arms suddenly awoke.
