Ch 9
Sango watch in discuss on how Inuyasha sweet talk with his new mate, she turn away at the disgusted scene before her. "Disgusting" she muttered bitterly.
"Is something the matter Lady Sango," a low deeper male spoke as it snap her attention of tall long hair monk as he sat beside her. He look like an older version of Miroku with his violet eyes holding both fatherly and holy wisdom, yet has the shine of amusement as he look over to scene she turn away. His robes were much the same except of a purple sash it was a navy blue. "I see. Are they the reason that has put my beautiful soon to be daughter in such a foul mood. It's not good for one so young and spirited like yourself to have mar her face with anger" he chuckled until he was suddenly slap.
"Pervert! Your just like Miroku. Both feeling up women with your so call 'curse hand' which by the way doesn't work any more. I can't believe you fondle your son's fiance"
"Like father like son. I only done it to distract you of what made you so angry. Tell me is it so hard to watch those two there to express their love with one another. They don't seem to object how Miroku spoke sweetly toward you," causing her flush red in embarrassment.
"No, it is not that. I don't know if you have heard but my best friend, Kagome, was in love with Inuyasha."
"Ah, yes beautiful young lady. Lady Kaede and Miroku had spoke to me that she is Kikyo's reincarnation and the one responsible of righting the wrongs Naraku has done toward so many, which resulted of me coming to life is it not?"
"Yes, you see during our travels on hunting jewel shards and hunting down Naraku. Inuyasha would verbally abuse her, comparing her to Kikyo almost every time, telling her she is weak, irresponsible, calling her bitch or wench, even had the nerve to call her ugly," she growl in anger.
"Such language that boy doesn't appreciate women in general. From what my son has described of your friend I have the very idea if she was in Kikyo's place fifty years ago before Naraku send them to their death and spell slumber none of this would happen. Lady Kagome would not have rush with accusation, she would have done all her power to find out the truth of the attack," Hiroshi spoke to her. Earning a smile from her knowing that was what Kagome would have done if she were in Kikyo's place.
She watch as her brother and Kirara spoke to Miroku, something on what Miroku replied cause both of them express conducement and worry. Standing up she rush toward them along with Hiroshi behind her sensing something is worrying his son and soon- to - daughter in law. "Miroku, what's wrong?" she ask.
Miroku turn to his love before looking over to Kikyo and Inuyasha as they entered the forest. "We should discuss this inside without Inuyasha finding out" as he led them toward Kaede's hut.
"Is something troubling yee, Miroku?" Kaede look up from her task in grinding the herbs for a tea Kagome had recommended her to ease her arthritis pain.
"Lady Kaede, have you seen Lady Kagome or Shippo recently?"
"Nay child, I have not seen Kagome yesterday nor young Shippo this morning or afternoon. Last this old woman seen Kagome when she went for a walk. I presume she went home when all of ye were asleep, but the young kit I have not seen until last night before Kagome's bag was gone."
"I told you, I found a letter this morning. You said we shouldn't worry," Kohaku pointed out.
"What letter is he speaking off? Miroku" Sango look anxiously to him
"The letter was written by Shippo I presume since he is learning to write by Lady Kagome. Referring that she would be returning home to spend time with her family, but Shippo didn't mention of himself. And I didn't say we shouldn't be worry, Kohaku, I meant not be presume hasty conclusions on our dear friends whereabouts," Miroku spoke. Miroku noticed his fathers brow drawing together with the look as if he was trying to remember something. "Father is something on your mind"
"Mmmm, there is something I have pondering on when Haji spoke to me what I have miss since my timely death with the curse wind tunnel. It's the tale of how Mt. Hakurei collapse that place me on edge but I have no idea what it is. Perhaps I should visit Monk Mushi perhaps he may know what worry me so. You should have faith in your missing companions, they will come back eventually for now you must wait for word of them. At least wait a day or two perhaps go visit the taiyaa village until my return," Hiroshi spoke before leaving the hut to call on Haji.
