InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Eight-Fold Path ❯ Calm Before the Storm ( Chapter 11 )

Calm Before the Storm

 

 

Haruo lay dead to the world, snuggled between his sisters.

 

Sango knelt over their oldest, tucking him against the growing cold.

 

Miroku watched from under heavy lids, pulled from meditation from the sound… of nothing.  A rare sound, this was not the silence of repressed anger or the heavy weight of sorrow.

 

This was the caress of contentment.

 

There was something on its way… something foreboding, something dangerous.  InuYasha had been on edge, torn between investigation and remaining with the heavily-pregnant Kagome.

 

In time, they'd be on the road.

 

But for now, they were content.  That was enough for him.
