Chapter 5: Deficient Emotions

Dawn approached quickly and each member of the group woke and decided to let Kagome sleep in. Miroku and Sango walked near Inuyasha who stood by the small stream staring off into the deep blue open sky.

�So, Inuyasha� What did you do to Kagome last night to allow her to return so late?� Miroku had an evil grin on his face. Inuyasha closed his eyes and folded his arms rather annoyingly.

�Feh. I gave her a present for her birthday. What�s it to ya?� Inuyasha slit his eyes and looked at Miroku without turning his head. One of Miroku�s evil grins landed on Inuyasha�s face. �Besides, what were you and Sango doing to be awake at that hour anyway?� He knew very well what they were up to. He could smell it all over them. Sango�s face became bright red and Miroku simply smiled an innocent, but not really innocent, smile.

�We were trying different��

*SMACK*

Sango left her usual red and pulsing mark across Miroku�s left cheek.

�That is personal, if you don�t mind.� Sango crossed her arms and looked away. A few more hours passed by as the group prepared to set off in search for the remaining sacred jewel shards. Kagome awoke alone in Kaede�s hut. � Alone again, huh?� The memories from the previous night flooded her mind and tears threatened to fall. Kagome took in a deep breath and slowly let it out. �I�m not waiting, nor will I come in second! I will finish finding the jewel shards, but when it�s complete�� She paused. �I will decide what to do when that time comes. I can�t stay though. I don�t want to stay. I know that Inuyasha will run back to Kikyo. I�ve been hurt too many times before. No more! I will collect the jewel shards, but I will not be hurt by anyone anymore!� Kagome sat up and looked toward the door. Once again her eyes grew cold and hollow. Outside, the sun was very bright, causing Kagome to squint as she stepped out of the dark hut.

�Kagome! You�re finally awake!� Shippo jumped into Kagome�s arms and hugged her. �Are you almost ready to leave?� Shippo looked up at Kagome and noticed her empty eyes. �Um� Kagome? Are you ok?� Kagome looked down at Shippo with a blank expression.

�Yes, I�m fine. Let�s go.� There were no feelings in her words. They lacked their usual bounce and warmth. Shippo jumped down from Kagome�s arms and ran to the approaching exterminator. He whispered in her ear when he bounded up to her shoulder.

�Sango, I think something is wrong with Kagome. She�s not acting like herself.� Sango left the kitsune behind as she walked to Kagome.

�Are you alright Kagome? You seem a little distant today.� Kagome looked over at her with the same empty eyes and blank, but pale, face.

�Yeah, I�m fine. I�ll be starting my cycle soon, sorry. You know how it is.� Sango nodded and walked back to the waiting Shippo. It wasn�t a complete lie, her period would be starting soon, but she was far from alright. Sango bent down and whispered to the worried kitsune with a small smile.

�She�s fine. She is still tired from the festivities yesterday. She was out all night and needs some more sleep. How about we leave her alone today?� Shippo agreed and scurried off to find Inuyasha and Miroku and tell them of their plan to let Kagome alone. The group headed north toward a small village that was having problems with a boar youkai. The village was a full day�s walk from Kaede�s, and the group left Kagome to herself. The sun was about to set when Sango looked back at Kagome. Her face was still very pale and she hung her shoulders low. She stared at the ground merely three feet in front of her and brought up the rear of the group by herself. Kagome�s usually bouncing hair hung low and she breathed through a small slit in her mouth as if she were out of breath. Sango ran up to Inuyasha worried.

�Hey Inuyasha, how about we find a place to rest for the night? Kagome doesn�t look well, and I was hoping I could find some time to speak with her privately.� Inuyasha glanced back at the lagging girl.

�Yeah, fine. I can smell a hot spring a little ways ahead. We�ll stop near it so you two can talk.� Sango turned to walk back to Miroku�s side, and his wandering hand, while thanking him.

�Sango�� Inuyasha paused for a moment and looked down. �Can you find out why she�s so depressed?� Sango gave him a gentle smile.

�Yeah.� She fell back to Miroku and after another ten minutes of walking, Inuyasha stopped near five good size trees that covered the sky above. Good source of protection from demons and the elements.

�We�re setting up camp here tonight. Miroku, can you build a fire while I catch some fish from the stream we passed?� Kagome dropped her backpack with a thunk and sat near the base of a tree, still silent and gloomy. Inuyasha glanced at Sango and tilted his head to the left. Sango knew what he meant and kneeled next to Kagome.

�There�s a hot spring nearby, why don�t you join me?� Kagome looked up into Sango�s pleading eyes and shallow smile. �You can show me what to do with that pink thing with a blade.� Sango desperately tried to show some enthusiasm. For the first time that day, Kagome slightly smiled and nodded. Sango was too excited that Kagome seemed to be returning to herself, that she didn�t notice the void that she held in her eyes. �Great! Let�s go while they�re setting up. I�m tired.� Sango gathered Kagome�s bathing supplies from her backpack and walked in the direction that Inuyasha nodded to earlier. Kagome slowly raised and shuffled toward Sango.
