She opened her eyes to see an ugly green toad looking at her, tapping his foot. "AH!" Kagome fell off the sofa, dropping the box of letters. "Ow, my ears! must you yell, human!"

"Dont you know it's rude to stare at someone when they're sleeping!" She yelled back, sitting on her butt.

"Why you-" Jaken was cut off.

"Jaken,"

He swallowed hard. "Yes, Mi Lord?"

"Leave her be."

"Yes, Mi Lord,"

The toad left the room, still holding his staff and grumbling about stupid human women. Kagome watched him leave, then looked at Sesshomaru who was just standing there looking at her, his eyes burning. Kagome shook her head and started to gather the letters that had dropped. "I trust you slept well, Miko?"

She didn't look at him, she did sleep well. She had a dream of her friends, she had a dream about her being back in the past with them. "Yeah, fine." She had all the letters back in the box and sat down on the sofa. She blew her hair from her eyes and started to look through the box.

"Do you not require food?"

"Hu, oh, I'm really not hungry. I just really want to read these letters," She said, looking for the one she wanted.

Sesshomaru stood behind the sofa and watched her. "Ah ha!" She found the one she wanted. "It's from Sango!"

He said nothing.

"The slayer,"

"I knew of who you were speaking of, Miko."

She gave a flat look, he knew their names, but yet he never used them. Kagome rolled her eyes. "DO YOU MIND not standing behind me it's creepy."

Sesshomaru didn't know how to take that, but he moved to stand by the now not-lit fireplace. Kagome took in a deep breath and opened Sango's first letter.

Dear Kagome

Oh, how I miss you

My best friend the only girl I know. What am I going to do without you? After you left, we all cried. Shippo is the loudest, but dont worry, we will watch over him. Inuyasha comes and goes from the well; he misses you deeply. When he told us you wanted us to write you letters, we were confused, how would you get them, but then he told us the plan. I hope you get to read this one day. I hope I get to see you again one day. You will always be my best friend and thank you, Kagome.

Kagome folded the letter back up and grabbed another one from Sango

Dear Kagome

Inuyasha still goes by the well. I hope you can forgive me, I dont go as often. Shippo has left for training, and Miroku and I are finally getting married! I so wish you could be here for it. It's not fair. I think it's hitting Miroku harder now. We haven't lost hope, but it's been a long time, and the magic can always bring you back. Anyway, I hope to write you more letters. Ink is hard to come by, but we will keep at it! See you soon, Sango.

Kagome placed that letter away and got another one out marked from Sango

Oh, Kagome!

Me and Miroku are having our fist child! Oh, how I wish you were here! I could really, really use you right now! I would have loved for us to have babies together that would have been fun. If it is a girl we shall name it Kagome after you. I hope this pleases you. Inuyasha comes and goes here and there. We dont see much of him anymore. Shippo is still gone. I hope he is writing you letters. I need a woman to talk to, I need you. I had a dream about us the other night. I wish I could get letters from you, but it doesn't work that way. Well, till another time Kagome...

Sango

"Oh, I do hope she wrote about the baby!" Kagome grabbed another letter.

It's a girl! Her name is Kagome, but guess what? I had twins! The other is a boy. Wish wish wish you had been there. Oh, Kagome, they are so cute and small. I hope I'll be a good mother. Miroku is so happy. Shippo now has a wife; we haven't seen much of him, sadly. Inuyasha came by to see the kids, but he didn't stay long. He never does anymore. I fear we will lose him to one day. I will keep writing, though. Hopefully, you will get them all. Tell me this isn't the end. Why does it feel like I won't see you again?

Sango.

Tears came down her face. "I bet her kids were beautiful wish I could have seen them." Been there for her.

"Come, you need food,"

"But I have one more letter from her."

"Then bring it and come with me."

Sesshomaru walked out, and Kagome followed. They went down big halls, cold and dark. Sesshomaru turned down a hall and stopped. Kagome stopped; she was clutching the letter to her chest. Kagome looked at him and then at the painting on the wall. Kagome's hand went to her mouth. There was Miroku and Sango with twin babies.

"Oh, Sesshomaru, how did you get this?"

"When they died Rin wanted it,"

Kagome ran her fingers down the painting. The babies were beautiful. Kagome opened the last letter.

Dear Kagome

The kids are growing. They met Lord Sesshomaru the other day; it was interesting. He didn't have much to say per usual. Miroku has asked a favor, that he would pass this house without harm. Shippo also has kids! Inuyasha, it's been years, but hopefully, he will come by and get more letters. I know one day he won't return. War has broken out, im kinda glad you are not here right now. I was hoping that one day I would not have to write anymore, yet it hasn't come. I miss you, you are more than a friend you are a sister. Live well Kagome, just in case...

Love Sango

That was her last letter." She looked at it hard with tears falling on the paper. She missed Sango; she missed her best friend. The man next to her might not miss them; how could he? She could because you can miss something you had and she had a best friend she could miss Sango.
