Well, color me surprised, it seems that the review count has risen to fifty and more. Well, number fifty goes to Lylli Riddle. Thank you all for your reviews, and now on with the story.

Chapter 12

At dawn’s first light, the group of females, for all intensive purposes, headed back to Kaede’s hut. The trip itself was relatively silent due to an uneasy feeling of foreboding that hung in the air. Upon reaching their destination, Kagome ran to Shippou’s side. Miroku still sat in the corner, sipping tea.

"So you have returned." The archaic healer sat next to the worsened kitsune. Shippou had stopped speaking. In fact, he no longer did anything. Kagome picked up the comatose figure and looked to Midoriko.

"Are you sure you can help him?" Midoriko nodded and placed her hand on Shippou’s chest. The familiar white light lifted him out of Kagome’s arms. When all was finished, he landed gently in Kagome’s arms. When the light dissipated, Shippou took in a deep breath. No sooner had he released it, he began to scream.

"HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPP! Kanna took Kirara, and Naraku came out of her mirror, and he beat me, and he said the only reason he let me live was that someone had to be alive to tell them where Kirara was and .... and ... and." Kagome comforted him.

"Sh..sh...it will be okay. We have Kirara back, and Midoriko took care of Naraku."

"Sniff..sniff..sniff. Midoriko?" Shippou was clearly confused.

"Well, it seems that Inu Yasha is the reincarnation of Midoriko’s spirit, and she was brought out when Naraku hit her..er..him with the jewel shards." Shippou turned to look at his mentor. The orbs on his face grew with fear and surprise.

"Hi..his eyes." The white eyes clearly scared Shippou.

"It seems to be alright child. It was he..um..she who healed you." Kaede interjected. "By the way, over the past evening, it has become apparent to me, that our friend in the corner has lost his memory. I think that it is because of the injury on his head." Kaede made a jerking motion towards Miroku.

"I will do this, but I will need rest afterwards. The last healing took much out of me." Midoriko walked towards Miroku who swallowed deeply.

"What? When did you find this out?" Sango was almost devastated by this news

"Well, part of it had to do with his groping me, but I at first attributed this to delirium. The other was when he began asking all sorts of questions about who you were, and if you were with anyone." Kaede said to her.

"What are you talking about?" Midoriko asked curiously. Sh had Miroku against the wall with a ball of white energy against his forehead. "There is nothing wrong with his memory, his bruise just happens to be deep. It seems that he was fooling you."

"WHAT!" Sango thundered.

"Hee...hee. Um, how so I put this?" Miroku wanted to choose his words very wisely. " I overheard your talk with Shippou, and I was just enjoying your attention so much."

"You selfish, uncaring, ungrateful....ugh. Excuse me, Midoriko, but have you healed him as of yet?" Sango was fuming.

"Yes, and of you don’t mind I need rest." Midoriko headed to an opposite corner of the room.

"Good," Sango hissed, "Houshi, you have until the count of three to leave." She glared daggers at the doomed holy person.

"Let me explain." He was trying to bargain with her.

"One.." she pulled her weapon from her back and put it into both hands.

"Wait.." He was getting very nervous.

"Two.." She snapped it into attack position.

"Ahhh!" Miroku ran from the hut.

"Three!" She ran after her target with extreme vigor. "Monk, I hope you remembered how to pray because as soon as I catch up with you, you really will have damage to your memory." Repeated sounds of an intense beating could be heard outside. Kagome just laughed, she placed a now slumbering Shippou onto the floor and covered him with his blanket. She picked up another blanket and headed for Midoriko. Her eyes were in shadow, Kagome suddenly noticed her previously steady breathing become erratic. A claw reached up and grasped the hanyou’s chest. Suddenly, the shadow disappeared, and Kagome heard a low growl as she spotted red eyes.

Lylli Riddle - Thank you for all of your wonderful reviews. I’m grateful for the information. I’m still kind of busy with end of the year stuff at school, but in two weeks, I will be free, and I will be able to check out the site in it’s entirety. Thanks for the info.

Elvia - Wow! That’s kind of harsh, but you know you are in love when you can freely talk that way to each other. It is always wonderful to hear from you, and thanks for the twinkie, it was delicious!

Kikyou-sama - Well, here is the update. Enjoy!

Hawk Niag - Okay!

P.S. Dexter says yes, but is unsure if you want a super detailed version of the date.

silverstarlight - Glad the writer’s block is working itself out. When Inu’s on, it’s always worth it. The visuals make it completely worth it.

Until next time, this is
