Kagome followed Miroku back to the well. He was still the most likely to sense her. If he was going to the well, maybe he'd try meditating again. If he did, maybe he'd see her again... There was a lot of maybe's in her hope. Still, it was worth a shot.
Besides, he was the most interesting so far.
The days since Inuyasha had left were boring. Nothing happened around the village. Kaede had returned to her daily tasks, Sango was either helping Kaede or going off to the other side of the village, presumably to practice, and Shippo alternated between following Sango and playing with a couple of local kids. Miroku had spent most of his time helping Kaede or meditating by the side of her hut.
At least now, he had moved to where she could get close.
She watched impatiently as he settled in the same spot as last time. She plopped in front of him, waiting for him to notice her. A breeze rose around them, affecting one and not so much the other. The breeze died. A bird settled nearby and set to calling. It eventually flew away. She huffed. Seriously, how long did it take for him to reach whatever zen he was trying to get to?
"Aaaaaaarg!" she groaned as she flopped backwards.
"Ah!"
Kagome shot back up. Miroku had his eyes open and was scanning the area around them. She, too, looked around them.
There wasn't anything there.
Hope filled her. "Miroku! Can you see me?"
