Sango made her way back to the campsite, and sure enough everyone was back.

"Sango!" Kagome smiled. "You're back! Come eat, it's getting late already." She handed Sango a fish.

"I know, it gets dark so early here." Sango sat down beside her. "So did you have any luck?"

Sango felt Miroku looking at her, but she avoided him.

"Sadly no, no scent as of yet." Kagome sighed and began eating her fish.

Sango noted how Inuyasha seemed tired and annoyed, and tried to cheer him up.

"Hey, it's alright. I'm sure it'll show up sooner or later and then you can take him down." Sango took a bite of her fish.

Inuyasha just sat and watched the fires flame flicker.

"Yeah." he replied softly, already done eating. He looked up at Sango and spoke. "So, did you do anything interesting today?"

Sango blushed, embarrassed. "No not really."

The campsite became quiet and they all ate in silence before Shippo spoke up.

"So." Shippo's tale bounced. "What's with the tension?"

No one replied, but Kagome looked at shippo in confusion.

Sango took the chance to pass a glare at Miroku, who froze and awkwardly ate his fish.

"Oh I get it." Shippo folded his arms.

"What, no you don't!" Inuyasha narrowed his eyes. "You're just a kid!"

"I might be a kid but you're the clueless one!" Shippo retorted.

"Who are you calling clueless?" Inuyasha shot back.

"The person who can't see the OBVIOUSLY Miroku was flirting with the village women again and he upset Sango, AGAIN." Shippo poked Inuyasha in the nose.

Sango felt herself becoming more and more annoyed, and she suddenly stood up.

"Miroku, mind if we take a walk?" Sango could tell by the tone of voice he could see she was mad.

"S-Sure thing Sango." Miroku scrambled to his feet.

They walked away from the camp as Inuyasha and Shippo argued on about who's fault it was.

Sango looked up at the night sky, as if someone pulled a blanket of blackness over top of the village.

"It really does get dark fast here." Sango muttered as her and Miroku walked into the forest.

"Hm? What'd you say?" Miroku looked over to her.

"N-Nothing." Sango stayed awkwardly silent.

They walked together in awkwardness, not having much to say to each other.

Sango was feeling nervous, but decided to go for it anyway. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the stones, stopping and looking at Miroku.

"What are those?" Miroku asked looking down at the little hearts. "Stones?"

"Yes, the woman who gave them to me said I should give them to the person who I- - uhm. Who I'm closest with..." Sango felt her face grow hot. "So here, have this rock for tonight because come tomorrow I have something to do with it."

That much was true, Sango wanted to see if she could ask the old lady something about these rocks and the legend about them.

"Oh I see." Miroku took the rock in the palm of his hand and smiled. "I do suppose the woman who gave them to you said to give it to the person you love didn't she?"

Sango's face went red.

"H-How did you know?"

"The Aiko-ka legend, I use to hear that one a lot." Miroku blushed in return. "Thank you, Sango. I'm sure tomorrow you'll go back to the woman who gave you these stones and ask where the tree is, am I right?"

Sango blushed again, but turned away.

"Shut up." She brushed her hair to the side.

"I'm afraid I don't know where the tree is, but for now..." Miroku took a hold of Sango's hand. "Will you walk with me to try and find it? The stones light up when we're near it so we'll know."

They walked side by side again, deeper into the forest.

"But the stones only work if the two people love each other." Sango said, remembering all the cheating Miroku did in a day, let alone a week.

"I know." Miroku suddenly pulled her close and under his arm. "That means they should light up just fine."

Sango blushed and put her head on his chest.

Maybe we can be in love after all...

After a half hour of walking, they gave up for the night and returned to the campsite where everyone was already fast asleep. Miroku handed the rock back just before they entered the clearing where everyone was staying.

Inuyasha popped his head up as they walked near him, but shortly rested his head back on his shoulder to return to sleep.

Miroku wished Sango a good night and laid down, not even a few moments after and he had already drifted into sleep.

Yet Sango couldn't sleep, she was too deep in though about the stones and the legend. She tossed and turned next to Kagome, envying that she could just lay there and sleep soundly with out a care in the world.

Restless, Sango got up again, remembering a small pond she saw earlier.

"Maybe one more short walk won't hurt." Sango half hoped it would tire her out enough so she could come back and sleep, but by the time she arrived at the pond she was much awake.

She was awe struck at the beauty of it all, the navy dark water that was sparkling as it reflected the night sky, the big moon in the sky that shone down giving all the plant life around the pound a beautiful natural glow.

Even the stars shone brighter, perhaps because the night sky was much darker. Heavy winds began to blow, and Sango watched the tree's and flowers dance in the wind until the wind it self picked a flower right from the ground and blew it across the hill of long green grass. It landed softly near Sango's feet, and she reached among the soft lush grass and picked it up. It was a beautiful flower, with long light purple pedals flecked with darker spots and big dark green leafs sprouting a long thing stem.

Sango's mind drifted as she stared at the flower and realized she was beginning to nod off. She got up sleepily and walked herself back to the campsite one more.

"Maybe now I can sleep." Sango murmured as she came to the clearing again. She untied her hair and starred at the flower, twisting and turning it between her fingers.

It twirled one way and back the other, and Sango just stared at it's perfection. It smelled sweet, and Sango thought she had never seen a more perfect flower in her life.

There was a soft sigh to the left of her, and she turned her head surprised to see that Inuyasha was up, looking right at her and watching her with fascination in his eyes.

"O-Oh!" Sango blinked, wondering how long he was watching her for. "Inuyasha. I didn't wake you did I?"

"Uhm. N-no." Inuyasha blushed and looked to the ground beside him. "Why are you up, aren't you tired?"

"Yeah I am. But I was having trouble sleeping." Sango twirled her flower again. "What about you?"

"Just thinking... Try and get your rest though, just incase the demon comes, seeing as I'll be no help." Inuyasha sat back trying to get more comfortable.

"No help?" Sango was confused, but followed his gaze up to the moon. "Oh, you'll be human any moment now, hu?"

"Yeah." Inuyasha sounded bitter to his half demon back ground.

"Hey, you aren't useless when you're human, you know that, right?" Sango knelt so she could move closer to him. "Just because you're a half demon, it doesn't mean that you're any less important."

Inuyasha looked down to her, staring into her eyes for a moment. "You think so?"

"Of course."

"Hm." Inuyasha looked back up to the moon. "That's a pretty flower you have." He leaned over and gently took it from her hand. "But.. it would look a lot nicer.. if it was on you." He tucked the stem just behind Sango's ear , and his cheeks turned a little pink as he sat back down.

Sango blushed, seeing as how she's never seen Inuyasha be so affectionate towards her before. "T-Thanks."

Now Inuyasha's face really was turning red, Sango wasn't seeing things.

"Get some rest." He said softly. "Goodnight, Sango."

"Goodnight." Sango smiled and laid down in her bed. It was nice being treated so kindly by Inuyasha, it made her heart feel light and her head go clear.

She was finally able to get some rest.
