"Kami Sango!" he shouted "Please---please tell me that we aren't lost?!""

Sango turned from his glare, deciding to remain silent for the moment as she quickened her horse a distance from Inuyasha's.

Maybe she didn't know exactly where the castle was but she felt her guess was just as good as anyone's. When Kagome and herself would go to the castle they'd be traveling by carriage. And though Sango may have been more awake during the travel then Kagome....they hadn't been there for years! Give her a break already!

The sound of horse shoes surrounded her as Miroku came to one side and Inuyasha and Kagome took her other

"We're lost" Inuyasha stated simply

"We are not" she defended trying to spare some pride "See up there? There's a village" all looked ahead accordingly to the approaching roof tops "We'll stay there for the night....I know exactly where we are..."

Maybe it was a bit of an overstatement but the place did seem at least a bit familiar. Looking around she knew she had been near it before, it gave her some hope at least.

It had been two weeks since the group had started traveling together and she had to admit, despite little quirks here and there, she enjoying the company of everyone. Like they had formed some kind of pack.

Miroku was pleasant and bearable and she often found herself enjoying the conversation they shared on the road. A lot better than his cheesy pick up lines. And Inuyasha and her had reached some point of understanding, for they were no longer at each others throats.

All in all she loved the group to pieces.

That's why she was probably feeling a little bad that she didn't have the exact notion to where they were. She sort of knew, but sort of.....ah hell, she was clueless.

"I hope they have a hot spring here" Kagome voiced "I could really use a bath....Inuyasha too. He smells"

"Keh"

"I hope they have beautiful ladies here" Miroku chipped in "I could use a good---"

Whack

"Stupid hentai" Inuyasha murmured as his hand found it's way back to the reins "Don't see why you still keep doing that....how many rejections have you gotten?"

Sango looked pointedly to the injured monk. He had been adding a new thing to his lines and pick ups. Now instead of whisking them away with wondrous words he simply said "Will you bear my child?"

The first time the group had heard him ask--well, they had nearly been kicked out of a hotel. Miroku had received five lumps to his head. One from each his traveling buddies and one from the manager’s daughter, a huge one from the manager. He seemed to have taken that phrase now and though they tried stopping it the group ended up just rolling their eyes.

The village did look vaguely familiar, though. As they rode through she could have almost sworn that she had traveled through it before. There was an unsettling feeling coming over her now.....

"We'll stay there" Inuyasha pointed off to a nice looking hotel as the three followed him to it. After a moment he raised an eyebrow "Is it me or does everything look familiar....?"

"Just you!" Sango cut in a little nervously "After all the villages all start to look alike after a while, don't they?" she laughed nervously causing the group to give her a look "I mean once you've been to one town you've seen them all right?"

After tying the horses down Miroku and Kagome waited outside while Sango and Inuyasha went to seek out rooms. While walking down the hall, Sang began to feel a little uneasy...it was familiar....

"We've been here, Sango"

"Don't be silly!" she said hardly "You've been here, but I know I haven't"

He raised an eyebrow as she tried to muster back a most serious look, though once he turned she flinched. Crap.

Ringing the little bell on the counter a man instantly appeared to greet them. His face sprung into a smile "Ah lord Inuyasha!" he exclaimed "You guys have returned from your trip already?"
