Kagome skipped merrily back to the village. She was happy. She had passed her tests, had some fun with her friends, and hadn’t been bothered by her sometimes pesky hanyou. Now she was back, and ready for some shard hunting (as well as some time with her hanyou). She took no notice of everyone’s expressions, and she cheerily handed out the many goodies she had brought back. She paused only when she noted a lack of a certain red clad boy.
She straightened, and looked at Sango. “Where is he?” She asked, but she knew.
“He went to ask Kikyou if she had any information on Naraku’s whereabouts.” Sango told her friend- her sister- honestly.
Kagome looked at her for a bit before she nodded a curt nod, and then her smile was back as she reached into her pack, and her hand found purchase on one last item. She pulled out the glorious present. It was Sango’s birthday in two days, and while the woman had insisted Kagome do no celebration, she hadn’t forbade her from getting her something special. Kagome grinned as she handed the package to Sango, and then plopped down to watch her open it.
Sango eyed it warily. It was beautifully wrapped. “Kagome?”
She couldn’t help but grin. “Your birthday present.”
“But-“
“You said no party, but nothing about a present. Please, just open it.” For good measure Kagome also gave her the puppy eyes.
Sango looked at her for a moment before she began to tentatively open the paper. She uncovered a box, and pulled of the lid. There was another wrapped box sitting on top of some crinkly almost see through paper. She lifted the box, and opened it too. She gasped when she saw what it was. She ran her finders along in intricate designs carved into the lovely wood. “What kind of wood is this?” she asked softly.
“Mahogany, open it.”
Sango glanced at her. The box wasn’t the present itself? She opened it, and her eyes widened. Inside was an excellent kit for the care of her katana she carried. It was so beautiful, and still so functional. She vaguely remembered saying she needed some new care supplies, but everything she found was so substandard. This wasn’t. She was touched that Kagome remembered, and had found something so wonderful. “Thank you Kagome.” She said breathlessly as her eye roamed over it. She nearly cried when she saw the inscription inside the lid, ‘For my beloved sister’.
“That’s not all. Move the paper.”
Sango reluctantly set the box aside after once more running her fingers over the exquisite wood. She looked box that still sat in her lap. She carefully pulled aside the crinkly paper, and froze. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Kagome-” she choked out, but got no further. She didn’t see Kagome’s beaming expression, only the contents of the box. She set the box on the futon, and slowly pulled out the fabric as she stood. It was the loveliest Kimono she had ever seen. She held it to herself wondering if she would ever want to wear it for fear of ruining it. Then a thought struck her. “I could wear it for my wedding!”
Kagome grinned, and jumped to her feet. “I knew you’d love it.”
Sango crushed Kagome in a hug. “Of course! Thank you so much!” then under her breath she whispered, “Sister.”
Kagome hugged her tighter, “Sister.”
They separated, and Kagome helped Sango refold the kimono into the box, and place the tissue paper around it. They chatted after for a bit. As the conversation lulled a bit, Kagome felt a familiar tug on her soul. She glanced toward the door, and standing in it was Inuyasha. He was watching her with an odd expression on his face. Kagome stood, keeping her eyes locked with his.
“You’re back.”
“Yes.”
He looked at her a moment longer and then finally glanced to the others in the hut. He turned and was gone.
They looked to each other, and wordlessly made ready to leave. It wasn’t long before they were on the road once more in the search of Naraku.

Inuyasha was unusually quiet has he led them on. They followed almost equally as silent. The odd mood pervaded through the night and the next day. It was unsettling for Kagome. She hated it, but somehow felt it necessary. The monotony didn’t last. It was on the eve of the second night on the road when a demon attacked with the intent of acquiring jewel shards. The demon was easily dispatched, and they set about moving to a new camp site.
The next morning when the set out once more. Kagome walked beside Sango. She smirked, and then whispered something to the slayer. She watched as Inuyasha ear twitched in effort to hear what she said. Kagome giggled. Sango smiled, and slowed her pace until she walked alongside the monk. She waited until Inuyasha was listening to something ahead, and whispered in the monk’s ear. She was slightly surprised when he failed to grope her, and only nodded. Then Miroku caught up with Kagome. Once more one of Inuyasha’s ears was swiveled back in effort to know what was going on. Miroku waited for a length of time, and then quickly whispered to Shippo.
Inuyasha halted, and turned to them. “Alright! What the hell are you whispering about?!” He yelled. He was annoyed.
Shippou stood in the basket. “Sheaven sliviks ate monkeys and makles!” He told Inuyasha.
Inuyasha stared at him confused as the others lost their composure, and burst out laughing. “I don’t get it.” He said much quieter.
Kagome halted her laughing enough to explain to him between her gasping, “It’s a game called telephone. You whisper something to one person, and they pass it on. At the end you see how jumbled the message gets.” Finally everyone had stopped laughing enough to begin walking again.
“What what was the real message?” Inuyasha asked as they walked. For a bit he had forgotten about Kikyou and her plight. It was a relief.
“Seven shielded knights and mounts,” Kagome told him.
Everyone was silent for a moment before Inuyasha stooped and whispered to Shippou. The kit smiled, and beckoned Kagome to lean down. She did so with a grin.
Inuyasha saw Kagome looking at him, and gave her a little smile. No need to worry her yet.
**
Kagome sat away from the others a bit thinking. She knew something was up with Inuyasha, but she didn’t know what. She always felt it was better to give a person time to sort through thing, and talk when they needed, but she felt like she was running out of time. Something was going on here, and she feared what it may mean for her and her hanyou, but there was nothing she could do to intercede. She knew she had to let life play out as it would. Her hands were tied as they had been since she had fallen through the well the first time. She was to live as the fates deemed to atone for the sins of her past life. Kagome rose, and, snagging her pack, went in search of some solitude. She knew what she had to do. She would love Inuyasha with all her heart for as long as she could, and simply hope for the best. She wanted to believe that he loved her. She wanted to believe that all she had done wasn’t in vain. Her fingers traced her scars as she remembered all her times with him. She knew that he had had a rough life, but she wanted to believe that in the end he could look past it.
She sat in the dark wood where the moon barely shone. She closed her eyes, and prayed to the Kamis that it would be ok. She prayed that when the time came Inuyasha would make the right choice for both of them, and she wept. She wept because she felt that that he wouldn’t. She knew the time was coming and she was afraid with all of her heart. She loved him enough to live a life that wasn’t meant to be hers just to be with him, and she knew that he would likely throw it all away.

Three villages, and seven demon exterminations later they found themselves heading to a small temple. It was a sacred place with many wards, but Inuyasha had no problem passing through any of them. They reached the hidden little place a few hours before dusk, and decided to proceed ahead.
They paused as it came into view, and Kagome shuttered. Something didn’t feel right about the place. All around the valley there was wild growth to the point it seemed like a jungle. But still in the distance was the small stone temple untouched by the wilds. Kagome felt as if the place was hungry, but for what she was unsure; she didn’t think she wanted to know. It seemed to her that though the place was sacred, it wasn’t holy. She felt a knot in her stomach. Why had Inuyasha led them here?
“Come on wench!”
The call pulled her from her silent musings, and Kagome picked up her feet, and moved to catch up with her friends. They moved into the valley, and Kagome scanned the walls around them. She could tell as she walked that there was no way out but the way they came in. She prayed that this wasn’t a trap.
There was a fairly well maintained path that wandered through the trees, but it forced them to walk single file. Kagome walked with Shippou on her shoulder since she left her bike back at the beginning to the valley. Even with the warmth of the fox kit clinging to her she still felt chills and the continued closer to the little temple. Kagome wrapped her arms about herself in order to try and warm herself as she looked into the trees. Even though it was several hours till the sun set it was still dark and scary to her. She couldn’t see too far into the woods, and knew anything could be lurking in there. It was like dusk in the valley. Kagome glanced up, and wasn’t heartened by the tiny glimpses sky she got. Sure it was still bright, but down her the sun didn’t touch.
She swung around with a gasp as she heard leave shuffling behind her to her right. Her eyes searched desperately for anything as her hands went to her bow and arrow. The leaves had stilled already, but that didn’t fool Kagome.
“What the hell is the hold up?!”
Kagome didn’t turn at Inuyasha’s yell. “Shippou, you heard it too right?” She whispered to the demon perched on her shoulder. He nodded.
Kagome was wrenched around by Inuyasha. “What the hell is your problem?” He demanded.
“I heard something in the brush.” She pointed indicating where she had heard the noise.
Inuyasha scoffed, but at Kagome’s expression looked at the brush anyway. “There ain’t nothing there anymore. Now let’s get moving.” He turned without another word, and went back to leading their pack deeper into the valley.
Kagome gave one last glance at the brush, and then trotted to catch back up. Behind her there was another rustle.
