Chapter four

Kagome's P.O.V.

The sun wasn't even up when I awoke. At first I was confused to were I was until I faintly heard the rustling of moving cloth over my head. On instinct I shot up and grabbed the thing that had awoken me.

In my befuddled state I had automatically picked up a rather sharp stick.

Shaking my head I heard my name spoken very quietly.

"Kagome," someone rich contrello voice spoke.

Raising my smoky blue eyes up in confusion I saw that I had pinned down Inuyasha to a tree. Thankfully no one else was awake.

"Sorry," I murmured as I dropped the stick to the ground.

He grinned and said, "Happens all the time."

I raised my eyebrow at this but said nothing as he laughed softy at my expression, "I didn't mean to wake you I was trying to wake Sango."

I looked over to the small form of a woman I barely knew but felt strangely drawn to. It was like the wake a sibling was bonded to his or her own sibling, if you get my meaning.

"Leave her be, she is very weary and tired. I'll take watch with you." This time it was him who raised an eyebrow at me.

"Just because I said I didn't want to touch a weapon didn't mean that I can't defend myself."

He chuckled and said, "Trust me, I believe you. I sense that there is more than meets the eye with you young one."

Inuyasha's P.O.V

Nothing else was said as we said into the starry night to watch the dawn slowly approach. The fire died out before anyone started to stir. Sango was the first to wake and quietly scolded us when she realized that I didn't wake her.

Kagome came to my rescue and said that she had told me no to wake her because she seemed to weary and needed the extra sleep.

Miroku didn't come back to camp until about mid-morning and nothing was said as we left. Hojo dispelled the protection barrier and we moved out. It wouldn't take very long to reach the next village. If all went well we could get their before night fall but if our group was attack by a lower-level demon than we would have to wait till morning to enter the village.

Sango's P.O.V.

Luckily Lady Luck was on our side when we set out. We weren't attacked by any demons and we made it to the next village before it was too late to use the front gates. That girl, Kagome, was as quite as ever yet she seemed to be regaining some life as we went along.

Once again Miroku got us a free night of room and board at one of the best inns in town. I've given up caring how he did it. When we first married I cared, but now I'm just tired.

No matter what anyone said I've made my mind up to help the strange girl named Kagome, that we found mere hours ago.

Miroku's P.O.V.

I knew my wife was planning on something but for the life of me I couldn't even fathom on to why. Kagome had said it herself that she had no wish to be taught martial arts, but the way she said it puzzled me.

It was rarer than a day to find someone who was not set on revenge. I knew Sango was and I had, in a way, help fuel that burning want for revenge. Anymore now I believed that was all she lived for.

Inuyasha's wife had been killed and he betrayed, then there was Hojo who had had a sister who had been so utterly mind wrecked by the demon named Naraku, that she had killed herself, and Kouga had had his entire pack killed. Then there was Sango who had had her entire village slaughtered and her brother had been killed before her very eyes. The air rip was my curse and it had taken the life of my father and grandfather and who eventually take mine.

Now there was Kagome who from what I had seen had just lost her entire village, yet I didn't understand how she survived. The Ninth Tribe killed all, never before had I heard of a case where there was a survivor.

Shaking all unpleasant thoughts for my head I tried to relax. My students were already about to get to bed and I vaguely realized that Kagome had left the room soon time ago before I fell into a dreamless sleep.
