Chapter 5

As they walked, Shippo watched the sun begin to fall below the tree line, shadowing them in darkness. "Kagome?" He whispered quietly, gripping her shirt tightly in his tiny hands.

"Yes Shippo?" Kagome whispered back, one arm around Shippo, while her empty hand was against AhUn's side.

"Don't lag behind. I don't want to be left out here." He said, it was a comment about how earlier when they were walking and she began to grow tired, and in the process almost got left behind. If it hadn't been for AhUn, who'd turned back and nudged her onward, they would have been left in the forest.

Now, though, she was walking, leaning against the two-headed dragon, her eyes drooping, "O-okay Shippo.." She whispered, yawning afterwards.

Finally she gave in and crawled up onto the dragon's back. Since Rin had her arm's looped around Ah's neck, Kagome wrapped one of her arms around Un's neck and the other around Shippo, holding him close to her. Soon the miko and fox child were sound asleep.

Meanwhile an old priestess was explaining to a demon slayer, a monk and a half-demon that the miko they were worried about was out on her own in the forest with the kitsune kit.

"WHAT?" Shouted Inuyasha, slamming his fist into the floor. "You just let her go?" He exclaimed unhappily, his voice clearly showed how distressed he truly was about this.

"Yes. After i saw the broken look in her eyes and the way she was holding herself, I couldn't bare to make her stay. To make her unhappy. If ye had more of a heart this wouldn't have happened." Kaede explained, giving Inuyasha a look that only caused the angered hanyou to grow even more upset.

"Yeah! If you had any sense at all, you would have chosen the live, warm soul that truly loved you over some cold, dried up clay pot who borrows other dead women's souls." Sango hissed, allowing the sharp tone of her whisper slice through him

"She is not-" He stopped mid sentence and sighed, failing to defend the woman he 'loved'. "You don't know her." Was all he could come up with.

"And nor do I want to." Sango shot back, getting up and walking to the back of the hut and laying down, running her fingers through Kilala's soft fur.

"Does she really think that lowly of me?" Came the voice of no one other than the dead miko herself.

Before anyone could answer her, Sango had risen, stormed over to the dead priestess, glaring at her with eyes that were like two hurricanes, before she raised her right hand and flung it through the air, her palm connecting with the other woman's face.

Everyone was stunned as Sango slapped Kikyo, even Inuyasha, who was just sitting there wide eyed and shocked, failed to come to her rescue.

Leaning closer to her, Sango spoke in a growl, "First, never EVER speak to someone else about me like I wasn't there when truthfully I'm barely five feet away." Turning around Sango began to walk away, then paused, looking over over her shoulder at Kikyo, "And yes. I do think that lowly of you." With that Sango walked back to Kilala, laid down and closed her eyes to drift off. After that, no one said a single word about anything to each other.

Unaware of the fuss she was causing amoung her friend, Kagome continued to sleep on AhUn's back. Every now and then she'd mumble some random gibberish about something in her sleep before she'd grow quiet once more.

Once as she slept, she said, "The bunny took my pillow, but that's okay because its so... floofy." Then she had snored softly, then mumbled, "Sit." Before she started to snore softly once more. Her words had caused a pair of liquid gold eyes to fall on her, one eyebrow raised in humor.

'She truly is a strange creature.' Sesshoumaru thought, but only shook his head and turned back to the path he was taking, watching as the stone walls of his castle came into view, rising high into the night sky. 'Ah at last I am home.' He thought, and adjust the white pelt on his shoulder a bit as he walked, he wanted to go and sleep in his own bed, but first he;d have to get the girl and her kit a room but nevermind that it was no big matter really.

Sighing inwardly he began to think about all the paperwork he'd have to do as soon as he woke up the next morning, but maybe, just maybe, that with the strange miko around, things wouldn't be so dull. Maybe.

And that's the end of Chapter 5. Hoep you like it and please do Review! :) I'll have Chapter 6 up soon enough, and it should be a bit longer!
