Name of Chapter: Partings.

"Where do you plan to go from here, Misa?" Kayo asked me a few days later as we stood outside, surveying the damage. It was the only time we were allowed out of bed by Akio, but only for a little while. We were still injured badly, Kayo worse than I.

I had just told her Sesshomaru and I was leaving in a few days to continue our journey. I could tell from the way he looked, he didn't like being in the company of so many humans at once. Neither did Jaken.

"I do not know," I replied, kicking a burnt chicken out of my path. I grimaced. I didn't like my poultry well done. "Sesshomaru is looking for a sword that will defeat his father in battle and who knows where a sword like that is."

"He wants to kill his father?" Kayo asked with a raised eyebrow.

I nodded, looking at her.

"Why would he want to do that? It's not like his father is forcing him to marry some cat demon or something!"

I laughed a bit. Laughing too much still hurt my stomach.

"Why would any demon want to kill someone? For power, I guess." I answered once my laughter subsided. "Anyway, I'm not really sure. He hardly talks at all. When I ask Jaken, he just says I'm not worthy enough of knowing that information."

"Maybe Jaken doesn't know himself."

"I'm going to go with that one. It seems more plausible."

We both laughed.

"What are you two laughing at?" Akio's voice came from behind us. We froze.

"Oh no, it's the General." I said in a joking tone.

"Shoot." Kayo replied. "We better turn around and not run."

"Yep." I tried not laugh as we turned around and looked at Akio, whom had his arms crossed against his chest and looking sternly at us. I resisted the urge to laugh.

"Yes, what is it, my dear?" Kayo asked in sweetly joking tone.

"You and Misa are supposed to be resting," Akio said to us.

"Yes, we are." Kayo replied, smiling more. "But we're not."

"I think we should look around more." I told him. "We need fresh air and survey the damage around this place."

"Which everyone else, who is not injured, will be doing," Akio replied. "You two need to rest."

"Do not." Kayo and I both said in unison.

"Do too."

Akio gave us a glare.

"That look won't work on us." Kayo told him, smiling sweetly.

"Does it ever, love?" Akio asked. Kayo's cheeks tinted pink.

"No, not really," Kayo replied. Akio chuckled, twining his hands with hers.

A thought occurred to me. I started looking around; trying to spot his figure anywhere but I didn't see it.

"Where is Sesshomaru?" I asked.

"I don't know. Haven't seen him since yesterday," Akio answered. "He was heading into the forest."

"Why do you ask?" Kayo gave me a curious look.

"I'm just wondering." I retorted, glaring at her.

"Right. What ever you say." Kayo giggled as I growled at her.

"I know what you're thinking and that is not the case." I told her, gritting my teeth. "I am just simply wondering where he is!"

Kayo giggled innocently. I glared at her more.

"You are so evil. I'm not even thinking about him in that way!" I exclaimed.

"Thinking about whom in what way?" Akio asked, looking bemused. So typical of a male to not know what females are talking about.

Kayo and I stared heatedly at each other, our arms crossed against our chests, not bothering to answer Akio's question.

"You should be resting."

I nearly jumped out of my skin at the sound of Sesshomaru's cold voice coming from behind me. I hate it when he scared me.

I groaned, not wanting to through this whole "You need to rest" ordeal again.

"I'll rest when I am good and dead." I snapped. Sesshomaru's expression didn't change, as if he expected my outburst. "When I die, that's when I'll rest. So, kill me!"

"I can do that." Jaken said with an evil glint in his yellow eyes.

"Try it, frog. I dare you." I said, glaring at him.

"You disrespectful wench," Jaken cried, shaking his fists at me. "How dare you call me a frog?"

"You know, Akio." I head Kayo say before feigning a yawn. "I think I will rest, rather than listen to Misa argue with a frog."

"I AM NOT A FROG!"

"I am not arguing with a frog!"

"All right," Akio replied. He picked Kayo up bridal style and began walking away.

"I can walk you know, right?" Kayo said to Akio.

"I know. You're still too injured to walk, though."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Oh, be quiet."

The days passed. I healed enough to walk, which meant it was time for Sesshomaru, Jaken, and I to leave. I was getting anxious to be on the road again. I hated being in bed all day, doing nothing. It was boring. The only time I was allowed to get out was to get fresh air and use the chamber pot.

I was glad to be leaving, and yet, sad at the same time. I had to leave Kayo, after reuniting with her after over two years. I didn't need to worry about her, though. She and Akio were going back to our village to live. But still, I couldn't help worrying, though. She's my best friend.

"This is for you." Kayo began moments before Sesshomaru, Jaken, and I were to leave. She handed me a white obi with red stitching at the ends. I looked at them. The words courage and love were embroidered on it.

"Thank you, Kayo." I said, smiling. Tears burned my eyes. I quickly took off the red one I had on and tied the white one in its place. I was wearing the outfit I bought in the village where I saw Mikio again. Fukio had found it in the laundry room and washed it for me. Early that morning I was looking for the white obi but could not found it, so Fukio had found me a red one from one of the Geisha rooms.

As for the other kidnapped girls in this house, they were either going back to their villages or staying here to repair damages and turn the house into an inn for travelers.

I wrapped my arms around Kayo in an embrace.

"I'll come and visit, okay?" I said to her, hearing my voice break.

"You better." Kayo replied, returning my embrace. I laughed.

We broke apart. I looked at Sesshomaru's back. He was facing away from us, his golden eyed gaze looking into the forest.

"If he lets you get killed, I will kill him." Kayo promised, seeing my gaze. I laughed, knowing she would fall through with her promise. Sesshomaru didn't act like he heard her. Jaken gave her a glare.

"I'll hold you to that." I replied, laughing more.

"It was good to meet you, Misa." Akio said to me, holding out his hand and smiling.

"You too, Akio," I replied, shaking his hand. I glared at him threateningly. "And if I find out you hurt Kayo in any shape or form, I will be your personal nightmare."

Akio's eyes went wide with fear at my threat. I was pleased to see I scared him. I looked at Kayo with a sad smile.

"We better go." I said at last.

Kayo nodded.

"I'll miss you." She said, embracing me again.

"I'll miss you, too." I replied, returning her embrace.

After a while, we let go and I began backing away with my bag over my shoulder and Nara tucked in my obi.

"I'll see you soon." I told her.

"You better." Kayo called back.

I laughed, waving as I walked backwards more.

Finally, after a while, I couldn't see her anymore. I turned around and began walking forwards, facing the life threatening journey ahead of me.
