Supreme Power, Sealing Your Fate

Miroku and Sango showed up and found Kagome alone and out cold. Sango noticed Kagome's torn panties but said nothing, but she didn't want Miroku to see it.

"Miroku, hurry, tell Kaede we are coming."

"Right," and he left running.

Sango picked Kagome up, yeah, she was heavy, but Sango was strong.

"Kirara!" The demon cat transformed and let Sango place Kagome on her, and then Sango climbed on.

"Let's go, Kirara." The cat roared and leaped into the sky.

Kaede was waiting outside with Miroku and Shippo when Sango made it back. Sango held Kagome and walked inside of Kaede's hut.

"What happened to her, do ye know?"

Sango looked at the two men standing there watching. Kaede got the hint and turned to look at them. "Would ye men please leave us? This is of a female matter."

Miroku would make a joke but now was not the time, nor did he know what they were talking about.

"Come on, Shippo, my friend, let us be off now."

Shippo jumped onto Miroku's shoulder, and they walked out and away. Sango made sure they were far off before talking.

"Sango, are ye all right, child?"

"Kaede, I didn't want to say this in front of them, but when we found Kagome, I took note that her underdressing was torn!"

Kaede moved her head and leaned over a bit and took note that Kagome was indeed not wearing anything under her skirt, and there was blood. Kaede had once asked Kagome about wearing that skirt, asked if she was afraid of someone seeing her; Kagome giggled and said no, that she would not give anyone a chance to.

"So ye think, maybe?"

"I dont know, we never hear her scream; I mean, she was not that far away im sure we would have at least her scream from that far off."

Concerned grew. First, who, then, was it wanted? Or was this forced?

"There are scratches on her leg," The old Miko noted as she started ringing out a wet towel to clean it.

"Demon," Sango said,

"Ay,"

"What should we do?" Sango asked,

"Nothing, child, we shall watch her; we will not ask her of what happened; we do not want to be cruel. It may be that she did give herself away."

"I doubt it, Kaede, she has not met anyone that I know of, and she would not just give herself to anyone."

"I'm afraid ye might be right, but we do not know for sure, and we cannot ask her, for it would be cruel. If she wishes to talk about it when she awakes, then we will go from there; for now, she needs rest."

They both sighed; Sango thought that maybe once Kagome came to, she would confide in her, and Kaede hoped that Kagome also would confide in Sango so they could all protect her.

Sango went outside and looked at the boys; she knew she would have to tell Miroku, he would know something was up, and she didn't want to lie to him.

"Miroku can I speak to you in private?" She didn't want Shippo to hear; he was way too young.

"Why yes, my darling Sango, so you ready to proclaim your love for me!"

"Monk!"

"Kidding, Sango, kidding!"

"Hey, why can't I hear?" Sango didn't know what to say.

"Shippo, me and you will have a man-to-man talk about women one day; this matter is of a female nature," Miroku said

Shippo crossed his arms and huffed; he was always being left out of the adult conversations. Miroku and Sango walked away.

"Thanks," Sango said to him, and he smiled. "You're welcome."

They walked far enough so that the little fox demon would not be able to hear, and Sango told Miroku everything that went on and was said in the hut.

He agreed until Kagome said something; there was nothing they could do but protect her and be there if she needed them. If something was wrong, she would tell them. Or at least, she would tell her best friend, Sango
