Confusion

"If I wasn't a monk I would swear," Miroku sighed kneeling down to sit upon a log. Lightly, he fingered the rosary that sealed away his wind tunnel. Violet hues looked up once delicate fingers paused his fidgeting.

"InuYasha never seems to rest. Nether does Kagome and both just keep barking at each other," Sango twitched, sitting on the log just a little ways of the monk. She removed her hand with a slight blush and looked up to the sky thoughtfully.

Nodding, he looked up to the sky as well. "I think it's a sign of-"

"SIT!!!" A few birds scattered off the trees. With the yell, leaves fell from a fall bearing branch that hung above them.

Miroku shook his head to rid himself of a few leaves and continued, "A sign of love between the two. They act like a married couple bickering like that."

"I think a married couple would probably act better," Sango groaned, looking over her shoulder towards the campfire. It was a lone light in the dark forest, but just enough for anyone to tell there were beings there, two of normal size.

A small chuckle was heard before Miroku nodded in agreement. He brushed a bang away as his hand slid across his handsome face. Leaning lightly on that hand he looked over his shoulder.

Kagome's red-faced form stalked through the bushes and towards the other two. At sight of them she relaxed and smiled, "I think I felt something. There maybe a jewel shard in the next village if that rumor was right."

"Wonderful! Lets head for it in the morning." Miroku stood up, brushing his robes with his hands. The staff jingled a bit as he followed Kagome back to the campfire. "But you haven't felt any dark auras either? The rumor did include the maiden warrior…"

"Yeah but…" Kagome's voice faded away she walked out of hearing.

Silence, Sango closed her eyes, listening to the silence of the world around her. Though she could hear clearly the growling voice of InuYasha and the fierce voice of Kagome. "The stars are so beautiful tonight, I hope nothing disrupts this." Sango smiled weakly. She knew that this next village was the one nearest to her own. The deserted village of demon slayers of people like herself. Standing up, she lightly followed the path the monk and miko had taken.

As she thought, InuYasha was growling up in a tree that overlooked the campfire below. Sango sighed, retreating to the comfort of her demon companion, Kirara. "Fero!" was the kitten's call as she jumped upon the shoulder of the taijiya.

Kagome looked up to see Sango, smiled then went back to stirring ramen within a pot she had brought. It was almost like a ritual now. For Kagome and InuYasha to fight, Sango and Miroku leave, come back when the argument was done, then eat dinner or something like that.

The monk, inches away from Sango, sat happily munching on potato chips. After one of his chews he looked to Sango. "Is there something the matter? You didn't follow us when we left."

"No, I'm just fine. I was watching the stars for a bit." Was this really true or was she trying to hide the thoughts of passing her once thriving village? Ether way it wouldn't matter. They all knew of her past and its troubles. Unlike InuYasha, who's past still seemed distant to them.

The young miko seemed to take notice of Sango's attitude and changed the subject, "so Miroku how do you like them?" She set the ladle down and poked at the fire a bit.

"These chips potato are very splendid! But even if they weren't they would still be food of the heavens."

Kagome twitched then spoke flatly, "I didn't make them."

Sango let out a small giggle before covering it up with the fur of Kirara.

"It's still splendid!" the monk gave a fake smile and continued to crunch on the chips. He was too oblivious sometimes.

A timer went off, signaling the ramen to be done and a quick appearance of InuYasha upon the ground. "Here you go...InuYasha?" Kagome blinked. The hanyou was nowhere within sight.

Miroku looked up, blinking his violet hues. Lightly, he poked the empty air with his staff. He quirked his brow then furrowed it as he folded his staff and arms across his chest. "It would seem that InuYasha has deserted us."

"He would never do that!!" Kagome protested, eyes raged. She looked to the ground, ebony tresses cascading over her shoulders and in front of her face. Her aura easily counterfeited her normal cherry self with that solemn look, dark and uninviting.

A hand gently placed itself on Kagome's back, patting in a sense of comfort. The demon slayer's smile appeared in her face, soft and hopeful. "He'll come back, Kagome," Sango reassured though she still wasn't sure herself.

"Kagome, what exactly were you two talking about while we were gone?" the monk asked, itching the chin of the neko youkai. Kirara purred lightly and crawled up to sit on his shoulder.

She sniffed, looking up slightly. Did she have to remember? "We were talking about…" her voice softly spoke, sad and torn. She really didn't like that subject.

Miroku twitched, looking over to Sango. Kirara mewed and jumped over to her companion. He watched for a few for any reaction from the demon slayer until nodding his head for Kagome to continue her story.

"Well, for some reason he wanted to talk about her, I think. He said he was talking about someone else but…" Kagome sighed, clutching herself.
