Chapter 3: Enter, Sangya

The Feudal Era duo was shocked. After hearing the tale of Sangya, they asked where the part-demon girl and if they could see her. Shicanto took them to a room in the southern area of his family's property. They came to a stop outside a screen door decorated with a bamboo pattern. Through the door a soft moaning could be heard, pierced every so often by a thud.

"If either of you are easily alarmed, I suggest you should go back to the main house," Shicanto warned. When neither InuYasha nor Kagome moved, he slid open the door. It opened silently to reveal a medium sized room, dark now because of the new moon. The dark-haired girl that lay in the middle was the source of the pained groaning and thuds. Kagome gave a soft gasp. The girl, Sangya, her appearance was shifting. One moment, her face had gold-brown feathers, the next the feathers were replaced by silvery fur.

The sight of such a young girl even made the battle-hardened InuYasha want to look away. She just looked so much like Kagome.

Shicanto broke them out of their reverie with, "The sun's about to rise."

As if on queue, the sun threw its first rays over the horizon. The two hanyou's auras pulsated and the silver came back into their hair. Within 30 seconds the now-demon boys looked up with golden eyes, and they understood each other perfectly.

"How do we heal Sangya?" InuYasha asked.
