Chapter 2: Help from Kaede
Miroku looked over his shoulder to Sango as he ran through the forest.
'What could have made Sango pass out like that," Miroku thought to himself with concern.
"Sango, hang on," he softly said. Kagome watched on the back of Kirara, 'Wow, I've never seen Miroku run that fast,' she thought wide-eyed.
Miroku picked up some speed as Kaede's village came into view and he ran right past all of the villagers. He didn't even stop at any of the girls that were whispering to one another about the handsome monk. Miroku finally stopped at a halt at Kaede's hut.
InuYasha and Kirara arrived behind him. "Lady Kaede," Miroku called a slight urgency in his voice.
Kaede appeared from behind the hut door. "Oh my, what happened," Kaede asked as Miroku walked past her and carried the demon slayer inside.
Kagome and Shippo got off of Kirara then the three of them, along with InuYasha, followed. Miroku laid Sango down on the floor gently and made a comfy place for her. "What has happened," Kaede asked again.
"Sango was fighting this demon that was made out of some bluish smoke, she used her Hiraikotsu and the demon disappeared and when she came back down she fainted," Kagome explained quickly.
"I see," Kaede said while in thought, "bluish smoke ye say," she asked. Kagome nodded.
"What does it mean, Lade Kaede," Miroku asked wanting to know answers.
Kaede looked at Sango in concentration, "Ye say when she hit it will her weapon it disappeared," Kaede asked trying to get all the details.
"I suspect that this was no demon," Kaede started looking up at the group.
The others were surprised, "What do you mean," Miroku asked frowning.
"I believe this was a spirit and it seeped into Sango's body, obviously to take over her soul," Kaede explained, concern written on her face.
"Her soul," InuYasha repeated bewildered. Kaede nodded.
Kagome looked as if she was about to cry.
Miroku stared at Sango with worry. He did not want to lose her; he was not going to lose her.
"What do we do?" Miroku asked determination in his voice.
Kaede looked up at Miroku, "There is only one way to detach the spirit from Sango's body before her soul is consumed, but it takes one of high spiritual powers, even then death could come to the one trying to extract the spirit," Kaede told him in her wise voice.
Miroku looked at Sango again, "Tell me how," he finally said.
InuYasha, Kagome and Shippo looked to their friend, "Miroku," Kagome said sadly.
'Even if Miroku could save Sango, he could die,' Kagome thought.
'Miroku sure has guts, I'll give him that,' InuYasha thought.
Kaede took a deep breath, "Very well, get Sango and follow me," she said standing up.
Miroku did so and the others followed behind them.
"Where are we going," Kagome asked as she followed InuYasha, Shippo on her shoulder.
"To the waterfall of healing," Kaede simply said leading the friends on their way.
