The Haunting: Ghosts, Chapter 1
By Seabreeze
A/N: I came up with this concept last night at my friend's sleepover out of nowhere. I'm pretty proud of it, but as a warning it's. how do I put this? If you're not flexible, you WILL NOT like this story. You just kinda have to go with the flow. it'll turn out all right in the end. Go to my brand spankin' new site if you like Inuyasha (
Disclaimer: As usual, I own nothing but the concept of which I am very proud. So BACK OFF! Just kidding. I can't really claim ownership of much, can I?

Kagome had sensed a shard or two in the nearby village, so that's where they were headed. For several days, there had been an absence of anything- any battles, any freak demons, any new shards. Naturally, everyone was quite ready to head for this village. But even as far off as they were, they could all see the great damage that was being done. Sango looked at Kirara, who was already transformed. She nodded.
"I'm going to check it out," she said, mounting Kirara and spurring off into the sky. Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Shippo sat down in the shade of a great tree while they waited for her to come back.
"I just hope she doesn't get involved in the battle without remembering us," Miroku commented. Inuyasha scowled.
"She better not." he muttered. Kagome glared at them.
"Oh, come on, guys, Sango would never forget us."
*~*~*
Sango watched over the chaotic village, squinting. The wreckage was terrible, but something had the demon at bay. The demon was some indistinguishable hairy 6-legged mammal with a spiked tail for whipping ('probably poisoned,' Sango thought) and a mouth that was a slit ¾ of the way through the creature's head. As she urged Kirara closer, she saw that the demon had large, blood covered teeth and eyes that were red and bleeding. The eyes stared hungrily and insanely at everything around it, focusing next on Kirara and Sango.
It lunged into the sky, having incredible speed and height in its leap. Kirara, too, leapt nimbly about 30 feet out of reach of the springing demon. The demon fell back to earth and crouched again, ready for another attempt, but suddenly a small group of darkly dressed people ran at it, and with a sharp thwack it had screamed. Someone had shot it with a crossbow. Sango waved her thanks and squinted at the people.
Her heart seized in her chest- they were demon exterminators. There were about 11 of them, ranging from about age 12 to 50 or so. She was so shocked she didn't realize that her breathing had deepened and quickened dangerously and that her balance had begun to fail. Kirara shifted her shoulders, and Sango gripped the fur.
"Let's go get them, Kirara," Sango said, though she didn't remember actually saying it. Kirara turned and headed back.
When they saw her approaching them, they stood up excitedly.
"Think they could use our help?" Kagome asked eagerly. Kirara landed and Sango dismounted shakily, stumbling when she hit the ground. Concerned, Kagome grabbed her arm. Miroku, too, had stepped forward looking concerned, but she shook her head and steadied herself.
"I think they might need a little help," she replied after a minute. Inuyasha and Kagome exchanged looks.
"What are we waiting for, then?" Inuyasha asked, his eyes gleaming. He waited for Kagome to get on his back and sprung off towards the village.
"She looks like she saw a ghost." Kagome whispered to Inuyasha.
"Heh. Yeah. If it's that bad, I can't wait. It's been so dull lately!"
Sango remounted Kirara and looked at Miroku, who was searching her face. He got on behind her and Kirara raced after Inuyasha.
"What's wrong, Sango?" Miroku asked. Sango shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell him, it was that she wasn't sure she could handle saying it.
"Nothing." She answered, and urged Kirara faster. The cat demon quickly caught up and paced with Inuyasha. He looked at them sideways and grinned, and Kagome smiled at Sango. Sango smiled back at Kagome, but it was obvious her mind was elsewhere.

A/N: So. how do you like it so far? There's going to be a lot more. I swear. Please review, arigato! (
