Lost and Alone


Miroku returned to the campsite regretfully alone. Sango was out there somewhere he wanted to be with her, to be able to explain things better. She was wrong, he didn't hate her, and he wanted to correct her and tell her that he was madly in love with her. But he knew that she needed her time. 'She'll be back by morning' he thought to himself, staring up at the stars and falling into a light sleep.

Miroku awoke early, to only look around the camp and find that the only person that he wanted to see was not there. Dashing over to Inu Yasha and shaking him vigorously Miroku blurted out in a worried concerned tone, "Inu Yasha, we have to go look for Sango. She hasn't come back since last night."

"She's a demon exterminator, she can handle herself." Inu Yasha said groggily as he fell back to sleep.

'It's not the demons I'm worried about,' was Miroku's unspoken response.

Sango awoke, only to look around her and find that she was next to a hot spring. She didn't remember where she was. She was so upset last night that she just ran through the forest until her feet were sore and she found a safe place to sleep. It just so happened that there was a hot spring around and she bathed in it before she fell asleep. Which she remembered she was having problems doing. So again as usual she had cried herself to sleep thinking about how Miroku never have and never will love her and that she will be alone forever.

"I've been crying a lot lately, I must be getting soft." She spoke aloud to herself as she looked around for some clue as to where she was. She found none, "Where the hell am I?" she questioned no one. She looked to see if she could find her footprints to follow back to camp. But she was unable to. Sitting against a rock by the spring she mumbled to herself, "Inu Yasha and the others will find me. I'll just wait right here for them."

Back at camp Miroku was waiting impatiently for everyone to wake up. Kagome woke up first to make some breakfast before Inu Yasha woke up and started to complain. "Lady Kagome," Miroku called to "...Lady Sango has not returned from the other night, I think, that today instead of looking for the shards we should look for Lady Sango."

Kagome just gave him a glare that just said 'one more word and your dead.' "So, I take it Lady Sango told you what happened between the owners daughter and me?"

Kagome gave him an uncertain glance unsure of where he was going with this. But Miroku explained it all to Kagome. "She was so forward, she lured me into the room with cheap tricks pretending to be hurt and when I went inside she pounced on me forcing her self on me."

Kagome's eyes grew wide in concern for the violated Miroku. "Did you tell Sango this?" She decided she was talking to him again.

'I am glad that she is talking to me again' he thought to himself. "Sort of..." he trailed off at the end thinking to himself, 'I didn't want to tell her the truth and sound like a fool and seem that I am easily taken advantage of.' "I think today we should put the shard hunting on hold and look for Lady Sango"

"She hasn't returned, now that's odd..." thinking to herself that it was probably because of Miroku and certain daughter, "...but Miroku it is very important that we find the shard before Naraku does. Inu Yasha will insist we look for the shards first. And besides Sango is very capable of handling herself, she is stronger than most females in this time."

"That's true, but-"

Kagome cut Miroku's sentence short. "Miroku, there are no if, ands, or buts about it, Sango can handle herself. If she wants to go off on her own then we cannot stop her. You should have faith in her and trust her she is our friend." 'She will come back when she is ready to' she thought to herself.

"I know, however..." Miroku paused to look over at an infuriated Kagome and he just gave the most angelic of smiles and continued. "...However I do not feel that Lady Sango is herself lately. I do trust her with my life, but because of recent events I feel that my trust in her is not as strong as it was before"

That day they searched for shards, and by that night Miroku was so worried. Kagome tried to comfort him, "She needs her time to sort things out, she will probably be back by morning." And with that they all turned in to go to sleep.

Sango didn't move far from the hot spring, she knew that when your lost you should stay in one spot so that people who are looking for you could find you. She was always told when she was younger 'if you lost hug a tree' she remembered her fathers exact words. She did leave for a bit to find food but even then she didn't go far.

'Where the hell are they?' she mentally thought. 'It's getting dark' she didn't want to admit it but her mind kept telling her that her so-called friends probably didn't even realize that she was gone. Admitting to that would mean that she had no one, not even a friend in this world. Tears started to well up in her eyes as she lay on the grass trying to fall asleep. Eventually she fell asleep but not before the tears fell and left salty tracks down her cheeks.
