When Kagome entered Keade’s hut Miroku was holding Sango back. “Are you insane!? Miroku and Keade are working so hard to bring Kagome back and you run off to see Kikyo!? You say Kagome is still here, that she’s with you, how do you think she feels now!?” The girl ripped herself away from the monk and grabbed Inuyasha’s hand with the band on it. “Does this mean so little to you!?” She screamed into his face before storming out of the hut. Inuyasha watched her go before turning to Miroku.
“What happened Inuyasha?” The monk asked. “Kikyo wanted to know what happened to Kagome. She asked me to join her since Kagome was gone… I turned her down and she just kinda smiled and laughed and said okay and to take care of Kagome.” Miroku couldn’t fight his grin. “You turned Kikyo down?” The man’s cheeks darkened but he nodded. “I’m proud of you Inuyasha.” The hanyou looked up in surprise. “Proud?”
“You loved Kikyo. She was your first love and it’s hard to let go of that. You however, showed how you feel about Kagome through your actions and for that I’m proud.” The hanyou blushed and turned his back to the monk.
“When will Keade be back?” Inuyasha finally asked after several minutes of silence. “Tomorrow.” The man nodded before leaving the hut.
Miroku walked outside to look for Sango. He found her sitting by the creek that ran near the village, cleaning her weapon and muttering darkly. “Sango.” She looked up and glared at him. “What?” She asked. “He made a choice.” The woman stood and pulled her weapon up, the anger in her face promising death for the hanyou. “He chose Kagome.” The demon slayer paused before looking back to the monk. “He did what?”
“He decided to stay with Kagome.” Sango set her weapon down and looked up at the monk. “What happened?” Miroku sighed heavily before sitting beside her to tell her the story.
Inuyasha was sitting back in the branches of the sacred tree staring at the locket when Kagome reached him. “Can you hear me yet?” She asked, floating beside his ear. He didn’t move and she growled. “If I could sit you every time you ignored me…” She trailed off when he started to speak. “I miss you Kagome. If I get you back… When I get you back I will never make you sad again.” She chuckled and shook her head. “You didn’t make me sad!” Her smile turned down when she said that. “Okay you didn’t make me sad all the time.” She nodded to herself. “Tomorrow Kagome, tomorrow is the day. I’ll get you back.” He held the locket to his chest. She settled down beside him and smiled. “Tomorrow it is then.”
“I wish I could tell you were still with me!” He shouted after several minutes of silence, causing the girl to jump. “Look at your hand stupid!” She replied. He grumbled and did as she’d told him. “I know this is here for a reason but… will it connect through the well… Are you even here?” She pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. “Can you really not sense me? Are you that blind to me!?” She shouted. He growled and rubbed his forehead. “My demon blood’s going crazy, you must be here.” She winced and tried to calm down. “I’m sorry. I don’t want to hurt you.” He laid back in the tree and sighed. “Tomorrow Kagome… Tomorrow.”
Miroku paused in his steps and Sango turned to him. “What is it?” She asked. He held his staff out and confusion passed over his face. “It feels like Kagome… It’s the same aura from yesterday…” He sighed before smiling at Sango and continuing towards Keade’s. Could it be Kagome? I cannot get a good read. It’s there for a moment and gone the next. He shook the thoughts away before settling into a meditation, needed to clear his mind so he could figure out what the aura was.
“Miroku?” The demon slayer asked quietly pulling him from his meditation. “Yes Sango?”
“Why don’t we just tell Inuyasha what we are sensing and he can tell us if Kagome is near. Didn’t he say he could feel her with him?”
“Yes but that was also when he could hear her too. I don’t want to get his hopes up and it not actually be her. That would be cruel.” Sango nodded and settled back into her thoughts.
Inuyasha sighed as he watched the sun beginning to set. How long have I been in the sacred tree? I haven’t eaten since yesterday… Kagome would worry if I don’t eat something. He sighed again before whispering, “I’d think it had all been a dream but I can still smell her in my cloths. I know I held her.” He jumped down and headed to the hut for some food to go, he didn’t want to leave the tree for long.
