Heart of Tensaiga
Searching
Inuyasha sniffed around the area once again as he tried to catch any hint of Kagome's scent. They had been searching for almost an entire week now with nothing to show for it. It was as if she disappeared. He let out a sigh and rubbed a clawed hand down his face. This wasn't supposed to be happening to him again. He could not let himself fail someone else that he cared about. He nearly jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"We will find her Inuyasha," Miroku encouraged. He gave him a small smile though the look of sadness was still there. They all knew the odds of finding Kagome now were slim no matter how hard they looked for her.
Sango came up to stand beside the monk and smiled softly at him. "Miroku's right Inuyasha, no matter how long we have to search we will find Kagome." She knew more than most, with her woman's intuition, that the half demon was affected by this more than anyone probably knew. To him, he had failed someone he loved once again. Not that he would admit his feelings to anyone, especially her.
Shippo had taken it the worst though. Sango held him in his arms as he had cried himself to sleep during the day. To him, he was losing his parents all over again. He mumbled something in his sleep and Sango held him closer.
"Come on, let's continue on then," Inuyasha sighed to the group.
