Chapter 3- Contract
"Sango!? Sango!?" yelled miroku as he approached demon slayer who was standing next to the well. "Sango what's the matter?" The monk said placing a hand on the girls shoulder?
"I-Im not too sure but I think Inuyasha might've of been a bit more upset about Kagome leaving than we initially thought." She said as she crouched down and picked up the Tetsusaiga. "Look" she finished.
A look of worry adorned both Miroku and Shippo's face as they began to realize what she meant.
"Y-you don't think Inuyasha might of….." spoke Shippo
"No…at least I sure hope not." Miroku said gripping his staff "Inuyasha!?" "Inuyasha if you can hear me please respond!" he began yelling towards the forest.
"I don't think he's here, Kirara would've picked up his scent if he were miles within the area." Sango spoke stopping the monk from continuing.
They looked over at the young fox to see him gathering the beads that were scattered about on the ground all while sniffling in an attempt to hold back his tears.
"We should inform Lady Kaede about what happened." Miroku said, Sango nodded in agreement and they both began helping Shippo with gathering the remainder of the necklace.
….
A few moments later
…
Kaede gasped and nearly jumped out of her skin when they told her the news of what went down.
"And what've Kagome? Was she able to return to her home safely?" asked the old priestess
"I've no doubt that no matter the situation, Inuyasha would never do anything to hurt Kagome. Im sure of that." Miroku affirmed.
"This all such horrifying news" said the old woman taking a seat before she collapsed the schocking news
"W-What should we do?" Sango asked not really sure what their next move was going to be.
"I don't know." Miroku answered.
"If what you say is true, then I fear there's a possibility that Inuyasha might have used the sacred jewel to grant a wish." Kaede stated
"D-Do you really think he would do that?" Sango questioned her voice a bit shaky at the thought. The idea had crossed her mind. It had crossed all their minds they just hoped they were wrong.
"Like she said, it's possible." Miroku answered "A person can make rash decisions while grieving and if he couldn't bare the feeling, he might have decided to just not feel anything at all." He finished

6 years later
Sango looked out the side of the wagon and saw the village in the nearby distance.
"Just a few more minutes." she thought to herself and she began to gather her things.
As they approached the village the sound of people bustling about could be heard. The old man stopped the wagon and the slayer jumped off.
"Are you sure you want to stay here?" asked the old man
"Yes, thank you." Replied Sango.
"Well then we'll be on our way, don't get your self killed out here demon slayer." Said the old man as the wagon began moving.
"Goodbye dear" said the old woman and with that they were off on the road again.
"It's rather lively around here." Sango thought to herself
"E-excuse me did I overhear him call you a demon slayer?" came a random voice, it was a passing villager who look to be in his mid twenties from the looks of it he seemed to be a farmer.
"Yes he did." She answered.
"I know this might be a bit sudden, but could I ask for your help with something?" he said
"It depends, what it might be? Is there a demon around here?" Sango asked
"Aye, there's been a recent string of events." Spoke the villager earning a puzzled look from the demon slayer.
"String of events?" she questioned him.
"Some mysterious things have been happening around here lately, livestock has been disappearing, odd noises heard at night, and some say they've spotted a silhouette roaming around the nearby hunting grounds in the woods. I'd say it's all the work of a lousy good for nothing demon."
"Sounds more like a common thief than anything else." Sango replied
"Nonsense! There's no reason for any of the villagers here to steal. Everything we have we share amongst each other!" the villager retorted.
"It's a demon. Of that I'm certain. So how bout it can you help?"
'Well….I did say I needed work" Sango sighed quietly and to herself.
"How much will this job pay?" she asked.
"Uh….I don't have any gold or silver to offer, but I can give you a place to stay and a warm meal until the job is done. I'll also talk to some of the other villagers and see if I scrounge up some coin for you." The man stated
"That's sounds fair enough." Replied the demon slayer
"It's a deal then."
A/N: Hope you enjoyed, if not leave me a review to let me know what I could be doing to make the story better. I know my writing could use tremendous amounts of work but he you gotta start somewhere right? I really need to start coming up with names for these people. Any suggestions? 😊
