No Surrender: Tragic swordsman, Yuukanmaru
*episode 2*

*flashback*
“He went where!?!” Kagome pulls her friend off of the old monk who is clearly hangover. She says, “Calm down Sango. Let Mushin speak.” Picking himself up off the floor, Mushin says, “Miroku has gone on a pilgrimage. In the middle of the night he summoned that raccoon-dog of his and left for the shrine of Yume Uta. Yume Uta is an ancient sanctuary of contemplation for monks and shrine maidens faced with difficult decisions.” Kagome asks, “Did he say why?” The monk says, “Presumably he had a decision to contemplate; also I think he was afraid of what this young lady was going to do to him when his injuries healed.” Mushin indicates Sango. The demon slayer asks, “Where is this shrine?!?” The monk says, “He made me promise not to tell you.” Kagome grabs her friend and holds her back saying, “Look Mushin, if you don’t tell us, then you’re going to have to worry about what Sango does to you.”
Several minutes later, the group is assembled. Kagome says to Sango, “Look, what ever happened between the two of you; it’s not safe for Miroku to be out there on his own, not with so Naraku active and his windtunnel not yet healed. We have to go after him. Now, only Kirara and Kagura have a chance of catching up to Haji. Kirara was just injured, so that means Kagura’s it. But she shouldn’t go alone.” Sango says, “I’ll go with her!” Kagome says, “Look Sango, someone has to stay with Kohaku and Kirara. Aside from that, Miroku still hasn’t recovered so I think you should put off seeing him yourself. Inuyasha and I will go. You stay here with the others, ok?” Shippo asks, “I’m coming too, right?” “No,” Kagome says, “I want you to stay here and help Sango watch over Kohaku and Kirara.” Shippo whines, “But Kagome…” Inuyasha says, “You been paying attention or not? I’m going along. You be happier stayin here.” The foxling looks up with hurt eyes. He turns around and says, “Idiot.” “Hey, what’s your problem!?!” Inuyasha shouts. Kagome says, “Inuyasha, drop it, now. Look Shippo, we’ll only be gone a day or two. Just help Sango and we’ll be back before you know it, ok?” Relutantly, he nods. After Kagome has packed her bag and given Sango what she’ll need; the three set out riding Kagura’s feather.
