Chapter 9: The Curse

"How did he get it?" Kagome questioned.

"I don't know." Bankotsu responded.

"He has it because of the curse I put on him…" a malice voice presented Naraku by the door. On impulse Ayame stood in front of her new love, while Kagome hid behind Koga who was against the wall with Inuyasha. Naraku was taller and his aura was more powerful and lethal then before. "If you wanted more pets, Ayame-chan, then as my wife, you should have come to me first. Now as punishment, all of you male pets shall be neutered." He smirked as his victims went into shock. As Naraku muttered something, both Inuyasha and Koga were lifted into the air by a bright blue light. When it went away they felt small, defensless, and… cute? When they opened their eyes and looked at each other they ran around Kagome. Inuyasha was a puppy with large golden eyes and silver fluffy fur with a small tail that wouldn't stop waging. Koga was a wolf pup with large baby blue eyes and brownish-blackish fur with a thick, bushy tail that was slightly wavy.

Kagome picked up both of the pups and looked into their eyes. "koga-kun...teme..?" The two pups nodded their heads, understanding what she said. "Naraku, what did you do to them?!" she questioned.

"it's just a curse. Ayame if you want your friends to remain alivem then they have to stay in this form. As for your sister, she will have to stay here. Ayame looked at Kagome and the pups in her arms and nodded. "As for your fisrt pet..." he looked at the boy she was hiding behind her. "I do believe Kohaku told you eaiirlier. His spirit will have to be further broken to the extent that it can't be repaired." With that he waved his hand and the said boy was lifted into the air. Ayame tried to stop him, but he locked her in the room and took Bankotsu away. The poor girl fell to her knees in shock as teardrops formed in her eyes. Kagome walked up to her little sister and tried to comfort her. The two pups turned their heads to the side, cutely, in confusion.

"Ayame-chan, I'm sure he'll be alright."

"No he wont. He almost died the last time Naraku took him away. He's under a curse; I've seen him go through pain late at night because of it." she cried.

Bark! Bark!

Bark! Bark!

"Translation please..." Kagome sighed.

---One Month Later---

The doors opened to Ayame's room and several maids walked in to give breakfest to the sisters and two pups. After they ate, Naraku walked in holding a chain in his hand. "My sweet, I bring you back your original pet..." he announced, pulling on the chain rather roughly. Bankotsu walked in with the chain attatched to a coller around his neck. He looked really different from the last time she saw him. His dark brown eyes were now dull and almost red, and he wore something similar to what Kohaku wore except it had a purple trim instead of green.

"Bankotsu, are you alright...?" Ayame asked silently as she approched. As soon as she was a yard away, he automaticly got on his knees and lowered his head to the ground.

"I am fine, Mistress. Master mearly has shown me the error of my ways." he reported. Ayame and Kagome gasped as Koga and Inuyasha began to growl, while Naraku laughed. Bankotsu never moved from his position on the ground and remained emotionless.
