Next Day
Sango was still a human. yawn... She relised Kyoji was downstairs. She stayed in bed, thinking. Kyoji was sitting on the couch. Amy was lost in her thoghts.
Next Day
Sangos yellows eyes opened. Kyoji was snuggled against her. Yawn she rolled away from him and walked down stairs. Saiyu and Amy where on the couch, watching tv. Sango ploped down. Her ears twitched. She looked around. "I swore I smelt a demon...hmm...must still be half asleep. Im going for a walk." She walked out the door. Kyoji dashed out the door after her. "oh, hi." "oh, hi. Common...hug..." Kyoji viced onto her. Sangos eyes bulged out. "o-ow-cant-breath-" "oh...sorry." "its ok..." the dark clouds overhead burst open. Lightning lit the sky as rain poured down."its raining...common kyoj-*uhH!* Sango was thrown violently forward by an unseen force.she slammed into a tree, cracking it in half. Sango fell to the ground. "Sango!" Kyoji ran over. Sango felt pain ripping threw her gut. One of her ribs was broken. She stumbled up. A ring of metal rang out as she whipped out her sword. "where is it!" "I don't know!" Kyoji was worried. UH! Sango felt a fist drill into her stomach. Her sword clattered to the ground. She slumped over. Blood dripped from her mouth. She stumbled up. "who are you." "take a guess-" a loud familiar voice boomed. "shindu...rhh-" "you guessed it." "and its not a puppet this time..." "Saiyu will-" "shes dead Sango...I broke her neck...just like Hinoki...heh heh..." "Saiyu is-" "yep.." "il kill you..." she said in a tear choked voice. "IL KILL YOU!!" She ran at him as the figure apeared. Her sword clashed with his. The sound of clanging metal echoed threw the woods. Kyoji ran back to the house. He flung open the door. Saiyu was watching tv. "Saiyu!your Alive!?" "yeah...whats up with you?" "Sango's fighting Shindu, and shes loosing bad!" Saiyu flew out the door. "SHINDU!" he grabbed sangos arm and flung her threw the air into Saiyu. Amy wasn't far behind. im nothing but an inconvinience to them...safer back here...I cant help. Sango crashed into Saiyu. The two where knocked back into the ground. Sango got up. She saw a flash of shindus face then everything went black. He slugged dher in the face as hard as he could. She crumpled and landed with a splash in the dark mud. Red blood flowed from her nose. Saiyu whipped her sword at him. He dodged it, whirling over her and slashing. She dodged as well. The two clashed swords and exganged blows for 30 seconds. Saiyu was hurled into a tree. She collapsed onto all fours, her palms sunk into the cold mud. UH- she felt his elbow slam into her lower back, over her kidney. She could hardly breath as pain wrenched threw her. Shindu laughed. His red scars iluminated by the flashing lightning. Saiyu stumbled up, only to immediately be slammed down into the ground again. She looked over at sango. I-I have to keep going until shes contious...or we'll both die... she thoght, as the rain slid down sangos face, mixing with blood. Saiyu dodged Shinus next punch. They shot threw the woods at lightning speed, exganging blows, and dodging. Amy and Kyoji stood anxiously by the house. Sango rose out of the mud. "Sango-Help!I cant keep fighting like this!" "Sango?" She stood there, expretionless. A red needle was imbedded in her shoulder. She flew at Saiyu, her sword drawn. The razor sharp steel blade whipped threw the driving rain. "Sango?!" She ducked. Barely dodging Sangos sword. Her yellow eyes where cold and emotionless. Shindu sliced as well. It missed Saiyu, but cut deep into Sangos side. She didn't flinch. "Sango!what wrong with yo-*Crunch*AU- AughhHHHH!!!" She felt shindu break her lower arm clear in two. Sango was bleeding badly. Saiyu dodged Sango and Shindus Slashed and blows, but barly. She already had a deep cut along her arm, and her left arm was disabled. "Shindu slashed Madly. The blade cut threw her chest and down her back, slicing her leg. Saiyu was shaking. Sango had 3 new cuts. Saiyu lauched toward her. She slashed. Sango blocked. Perfect She grabbed the red needle and threw it away. Sango collapsed to the wet dirt. rhh... She stumbled up slowly. Shindu didn't have one cut on him yet. "You've gotten soft Sango...and Saiyu,n you've just plain gotten weak..." "Shut up..." Sango said glaring. Shindu suddenly flew at Sango. Sango raised her sword to block. A loud ping echoed threw the woods. Shindus sword crashed threw Sangos, shattering it into two pieces. The blade sliced down right over Sangos Right coller bone, cutting halfway down her body. Blood gushed from the wound. Sango collapsed. She lay, shaking, wide eyed in shock as she felt the blood run out of her. Sango shook, blood gushed from the wouldnd. She tensed up, relaxed. Her eyes where wide, shocked. I-im going numb... "That wound is fatal Sango, even for you...don't worry, you should bleed to death in 3 minutes..." "Damn you!!" Saiyu shot after him. He just laughed, dodging her blows like they where nothing. Sangos Yellow eyes where beginning to dull. Amy and kyoji dragged her back to the house. "Kyoji, get me the hose" "ok-" he came back with the hooked up garden hose. Amy tore her kimono oped over the wound. She shot water over her, cleaning the dirt and mud out of the woulnd. Amy then proceeded to tape her shut with 5 roles of gause and medical tape. They maneged to stop the bleeding. Sango was ghost with, uncontious. Her pulse was erratic as well. Saiyu skidded across the muddy stone steps, cutting her open. The right and left sleeved of her kimono where shredded. Blood leaked from the dirty scrapes and gouges. She had maneged to cut shindus left arm deeply. He had his share of bruises and cuts as well. "Shindu..." "Saiyu...you've gotten good...now...lets end this!!" He charged at her. The two exploded into a blur of slashes and punches. "Sango...?" Kyoji asked. She had stopped breathing 4 times, but they maneged to bring her back. She was out cold.
20 Minutes later
Saiyu had been run threw. She had a hole in her chest. It missed her heart by 1 cm. But she was bleeding badly. "Saiyu, your slowing..." "heh..*ckk*" blood spurted from her mouth. "so are you..." they charged and exploded into another wave of punches. Saiyu was knocked to the ground. She hung limp. Shindu pulled her up by her wet hair. "Augh-ugh..." Lightning flashed threw the pitch black sky. Shindu raised his sword and placed the tip in the left side of her upper back. "goodbye Saiyu" "UHH!" Saiyu gasped as she felt the three foor lenth of steel rip threw her back, and out her chest. The blade slit a major artery. Saiyu began going numb. Blood leaked from Shindus mouth. Her sword was rammed threw his heart. "It was a great fight saiyu...rhh-" He fell backwards. Pulling the sword out of her Back. He was dead. Saiyu pulled herself threw the cold rain. Her vision was getting distorted. She reached the door. She hit it once. She fell uncontious.
2 hours later
Saiyus eyes opened. "rhh..." She looked around. There was blood all over the floor. She couldn't see sango. "A-Amy...rhh-w-wheres Sango?" "She-" Saiyu went dead cold. "S-Shes upstairs...are you ok?" "il be fine...how is she?" "shes ghost white...uncontious...wheres Shindu..." "H-Hes dead...for good...there wont be a body, he will have phased back to his time..." "Good...im tired.."
5 Days Later
Saiyu was healed. And Sango was still in bed, messed up. "Sango?" Kyoji asked softly. "rhh!w-what..." "just wanted to say hi..." "ok..." Kyoji curled up by her, snuggling up to her. "Kyoji I-" "cuddle..." "Kyoji im serious it hurts!" "Cuddle..." "Damn it!Augh!" She winced in pain. "aww...sorry......Cuddle..." "I give up..." Sango let him cuddle up next to her. Smiling lightly as she fell asleep. Kyoji wrapped his arms around her, as he slipped off to dreamland.
Sangos eyes opened. She felt a bit of a draft. *hmm?" she looked down. A old grining preist had her pants pulled down. Amys grandfather. He noticed she was awake. She was staring daggers at him. "oh phooey.." CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK The old mans head swole up as he bumbled down the stairs. Kyoji was laghing. CLUNK "ow...man are you violent this morning..." Sango stood up. "rhh-" She dropped to one knee. "you ok?" Kyoji asked. "im fine..." She stumbled up and walked down the steps. She walked out into the kitchen. Amys mother was their. "oh,Hi Sango!hows our local Half demon?...you look beat up..." "its nice to see you too...and beat up? You have no idea...im fine.." "well, here, il fix you four some breakfast..." "thanks..." "You know Sango, you've gotten much more polite and open since the last time I saw you...well, I was gone for 2 months..." "don't push your luck..."Amys granpa walked into the kitchen. "hello..." he said oogling sango. CLUNK "give it up old man..."
Amy was in her room finnishing her homework. She put her books in her backpack and looked out the window. It was almost summer again, she had known Sango and Saiyu for 7 months, and Kyoji almost as long. I cant wait until summer vacation... she thoght putting away her Algebra books.
12:00
Kyoji was feeling happy. He climbed into bed. "huh...oh, kyoji...heh, hi..." "Cuddle..." "oh come on-" "cuddle..." "ok, we'll cuddle..." Sango snuggled up next to him. She smiled. this is so nice...for the past couple weeks weve had battle after battle...now, finnaly, Shindu is dead, and I can relax... Kyoji squeezed her tighter.
Morning.
Sango woke up, still cuddled tightly against kyoji. She relaxed on the soft matress. She was feeling a bit better. The warm sun beamed threw the window. Sango didn't want to get up. She didn't want anyone to see her. She was human, but not because of the lunar cycle. She was much weaker than normal. She tightened up. Her eyes turned a blood red and her pupils a sick, neon green. Her ears re-appered.She was full demon. Her fangs got longer. She tightened up again. Her eyes turned brown and her ears and claws dissapered. She was human. She rolled off the bed and dropped to the floor. "rhhH!!AughHH!!" her eyes turned red again as she returned to her full demon form. She stumbled dowm the stairs. "S- Saiyu, Amy!-Help!AughHH!" her eyes turned yellow. She was half demon. She kept rapidly changing forms. "Sango!" Amy ran over. Sango went ridgid. The shifts occurred 4 times each second. "au-augh-aughhH!!!" she suddenly collapsed to the floor. "Saiyu!Help Me!" Sango was shaking violantly. "Damn!I knew this was bound to happen sometime!" "What!what is it!?" "Its called Psyco-Glory. All half demons go threw it once a year, her normally sealed demon blood is sealed, and unsealed at a eratic rate, so she goes from her normal half demon form to human, to full demon, her mind cant handle the demon blood so she goes insane, shes very dangerous...it only lasts an hour or so thogh, wel have to hold her down until then!" "Psycho- Glory? Ha, no wonder!?rhh!" Sango turned full demon in a blast of heat. "rhh!!let me go!!damn you!!!" they could barely hold her down. Kyoji walked down. "Whats going on!? Whats wrong with her!? Sango??!" Sango slashed her claws across Kyojis face. "rhh!" "Sango!" "RHH!!!!AUGHHHHHH!!!!"Sango hurled amy and Saiyu into the wall.her eyes burned red, her sick green pupils turned blue. Sangos fangs grew a bit longer. "RHH- RRHHH!!AUGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Saiyu tried to restrain her. She was slnanmmedn violantly back threw the door. The wood splintered. She fell against the stairs. Her hands wrapped around the wood railing. "R-RHHHH!!!AUGHHHHH!!!" she tightened up as the railing splintered. "AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!- UG-" she returned to human form and fell limp to the floor gasping. "Amy are you ok?whats wrong with her?" "Shes going threw a stage, half-demons go threw it once a year, its called "Psycho-Glory"." "that's a freaky name...from what iv seen so far it sure fits..." Sangos eyes flicked open. They where yellow. Her ears where back. She looked at kyoji. He had a deep clean razor cut along the side of his face. Red blood leaked from it. "d-did I do that?" "rhh...yes, yes you did.." "Sorry...heh, but if I ever catch your hands on my chest when helping my up, I will do much worse..." "I didn't!I mean.." pervert" Kyoji blushed, scratching the back of his head. "heh heh...it wasw an accident" "pervert..." Amy rubbed her back. "Sango, you used one finger and hurled me into the wall, I thing you gave me a huge bruise...your full demon form is incredably powerful, how did you turn full demon anyway?" "im sorry...im only half demon, because the part of my demon blood that allows me to become full demon is sealed. My mind cant handle it...im to weak..." "Psycho-Glory,Just like christmas, it comes but once a year..." Amy said grinning oddly.
Sango tightened again, her eyes turned red. "oh crap!its not over. Hold her down!" "RHH-" Sango fell back uncontious, still shifting. They carried her up to her bed. Sangos brown eyes opened. "rhh..." She was shaking lightly, she felt weak. She stood up. Her legs barley held her up. She fell back down to the bed, gasping. Her eyes finaly phased back to their normal yellow color as her ears and claws re-appered. She collapsed back onto the bed, tired. She fell asleep. Amy was on the couch, drinking soda and watching a movie. Kyoji next to her. Amy yawned. She fell asleep, leaning against the armrest. Kyoji sat eating a doughnut and watching tv. Saiyu walked in. She surveyed the sceane. that's sad...heh she sat down on the couch and lay her sword across her lap. She took out a stone, and began sharpening it. "Saiyu, do you think shindus really dead?" "yeah...it was the real thing this time...the cave wall gate should be closed...Say, kyoji, how did yo uend up coming threw that thing?" "I was just walking when I saw two demons fighting...I got caught in the middle, and then Shindu sent those Shadowfoxes after me, and they chased me threw the gate..." "ok...I just don't understand it...your always so light hearted about everything, no matter how bad things get." Amy said. "well I half to compensate for Sangos gloomy never show emotion attitude..."
5 minutes later
Amy had drifted asleep. Kyoji sat, watching tv, thinking. the well gates closed...we can all lay back and have fun for once...no worries about demon attacks. He drifted off to sleep. When he woke up it was 2:00 in the afternoon. He saw Sango, asleep in a ball on the floor.Her red kimono rose and fell as she breathed softly. He carefully stept over her. He walked up the wooden steps. Amy was at her desk, slumped over her Algebra books. Saiyu was reading a book on her bed. Kyoj iwalked in. "oh, hi kyoji! I didn't want to wake any of you, we havent got much sleep latley..." "I know...so, you wanna take a walk? Its nice out." "sure." The two walked out the door. the bright sun warmed their faces. "Saiyu, I don't want to spoil the calm happy mood, but I need to ask you about something..." "sure, go ahead Kyoji." "Im preetty sure she doesn't want anyone to know about this, but being the chronic midnight snacker I am, I noticed this...Amy, you sleep in the same room with her, but iv also noticed you're a very deep sleeper. But Amy, in the middle of the night she tosses and turns, sweating. Then when she wakes up she's shaking, scared...I just want to know if you know whats going on..." "iv never noticed it before...but then again I sleep like a rock, or so people have told me...il aske her about it..." "Thanks...shes like a sister to me...I just want to know why shes having nightmares." "I understand, I feel the same way..." they walked back to the house. Sango was walking towards them. "Hi Sango" "Hey..." "Beautiful out isnt it?" Kyoji asked. "its ok" "hey..look!" A butterfly landed on sangos right dog ear. She twitched it, making it fly away. Kyoji hugged her. He relesed. "well, don't I get a thank you?" "whatever..." "Shes ok..." Saiyu wispered. "yep.." "Hey, kyoji...your right, it is beautiful..." "wow, did Sango wake from her nap sunny side up?" Saiyu smiled.
9:00PM
Amy and Sango where awake, watching a movie, and Saiyu was upstairs in her bed, sleeping, And Kyoji was in his bed sleeping. "Hey Amy, what happened to your dad?" Amys flinched. "um...I-...he was hit by a car when I was 5, he pushed me out of the way...I would have been run over, killed...I watched him bleed to death on the pavement..." "Amy...im sorry, I shouldn't have asked..." "its ok Sango..." "I-I kinda know how that must have felt...before I fell asleep, sealed in that cave, Shindu held my little sister, Hinoki, up to me, and broke her neck..." "im sorry, I-I have to go to sleep..." Amy walked slowly up the stairs and slipped under the covers. Sango sat on the couch. Hinoki... She walked into her room and lay down by Kyoji. She fell asleep.
She was in the cave, pinned to the wall. Shindu held Hinoki up, stroking her cheek. She was crying. "Sango..h-help...ple-*Crack*" He jerked her head to the side. Hinoki went ridgid and wide eyed then fell limp. Sango shot up. "Hinoki..." "rhh...Sango?" Kyoji woke up. "Whats up? Something wrong?" "no,of course not, im fine, why wouldn't I be?" "Nice try Sango...I know you, and I know that long sad look, whats wrong?Common Sango..." "im fine...just leave me alone..." She curled up tight into a ball. She slipped back into dreams. She was 13. She was in her human form so she could go into villages, it was dangerous to do that, villages where warring with each other. She threw a ball back and forth with a little 5 year old girl, Hinoki. Her little sister. She played with her for hours. Then night came. She ran out the Vilage gates as her ears and claws returned and her eyes turned yellow. Sangos eyes slid slowly open. I cant sleep...why am I acting like this...shes been dead for almost a year...to me anyway... Sango lay there thinking of all the times she had played with Hinoki, then the image of the wide eyed look of pain and shock as she felt her neck snap seeped into her mind. Tears streamed from her cheeks. Kyoji looked over at her. "Sango? Are you crying?" Sango rolled over. "no.of course not." "Sango whats wrong?" "I don't want to-" "Sango..." "I-I was just thinking of someone...my little sister, she was killed by Shindu, before I fell asleep in the cave...Amys dad died saving her from getting hit by a car...it-it just jogged some memorys...im sorry" "Sorry for what Sango?" "im so weak...I should just get over it. Shes gone, and I cant change it, that's all there is too it. Demons do not cry." "Sango, your half human too..." "I-..." Kyoji wiped a tear from her eye. "Sango, its not to comforting to see you cry, you never cry about anything..." Sango felt sick. "im weak...im just a halfbreed..." "Well you have cute ears!" he said happily as he wiggled them. "Pleae...stop.." "im just teasing Sango, im trying just to cheer you up." "im ok...I-I need to take a shower..." Sango walked out into the dark hallway and into the bathroom. She removed her kimono and stepped into the tub, closing the curtain. She turned the handle and closed her eyes as the warm streams of water hit her soft skin. She just closed her eyes and relaxed. She washed her hair with shampoo, witch she thoght was a odd thing to do, but it seemed to work. She spent 15 minutes standing in the shower relaxing. She turned the water off and dryed herself off. She was half asleep. She picked up her kimono and walked sleepily into her room, put on her kimono and fell asleep.
Next Day
Saiyu was walking threw the woods. She stopped and leaned against a tree, breathing hard. She felt unusualy tired. She collapsed and sat down under the tree. Her eyes slid closed, she slumped over limp. The sun rose high into the sky, shining down threw the trees creating a web like pattern over everything. Saiyu lay on the ground. Her brown eyes opened. She felt horrible. Chills shot threw her. She shook lightly. She felt the warm dirt underneath her face. She pushed herself up. She stumbled 6 feet then collapsed. She fell to the ground uncontious.
4 hours later-6:00pm
"Hey Amy? You seen Saiyu anywhere? Shes been gone awhile.." Sango said silently, perched on the couch armrest. "Shes right Amy, I havent seen here for about 6 hours, you think shes ok?" "Shes probebly doing something..." "even so, il go look for her.." Kyoji said as he walked out the door. it was dark. The warm humid air coated the shrine. "Saiyu?" he said walking threw the dirt trails in the woods. He saw the lights from the distant city glow below the horizon. "Whoa!!" he tripped and fell on his face. "ow..." what did I trip on? He felt it. Cloth. He could feel a warm body under it. "Saiyu?" he picked her up and carried her limp form over his shoulder to the house. "Kyoji? Saiyu!" He placed her limp form on the couch. Her Black kimono was soaked in sweat. Sweat trickled down her face and neck. She was breathing raspily. "Saiyu?" Amy said shaking her. "rhh-A-Amy...? I-I don't feel good..." "your sick, take it easy." "I-im not going anywhere...rnn-" "Its not like it will kill her..." Sango said, cross armed, leaned against the wall. "she has the flu Sango. Its not impossible, sadly, not unlikley if it gets any worse." This got sangos attention. She looked at Saiyu, watching her chest rise and fall iregularly. Kyoji put a wet rag on her forehead. "nN!" Saiyu went ridgid. Her breathing got much raspyer. She could barely breath. "oh no..." Amy said worried. "What is it?" Kyoji asked concerned. "I think she has pnemonia as well...get her something to drink while I get the thermometer...Sango?" "huh?" "keep her company" "ok." Saiyus brown eyes slid open slightly. "nn...Sango...hi..." "hey" "l-lean down here for a minute-rhh." Sango did. Saiyu, threw all the pain in her body, reached up and plucked a piece of a leaf off her left dog ear. "leaf...nn-" Saiyu fell back down. Sango twitched her left ear. "Saiyu..how do you feel?" "worse...im cold...nn" Amy came back wit ha thermometer. She put it in Saiyus mouth. She took it out. "one hundred and six..." "I still don't understand much of this fancy electro stuff, but is that bad?" Kyoji asked. "well, average is ninty eight, and if it hits one hundred and twelve..." "What then?" "then she'l die..." Kyoji was worried, so was amy. "Die?" Kyoji asked worriedly. "yeah...we have to keep her cool..." Kyoji and Amy went to get a towel and ice. Sango watched her worried. Saiyu felt herself getting dizzy, fading in and out of contiousness. " "S-Sango...rhhh!!c-come here...please..." "What is it?" Saiyu groaned as she sat up and tightly hugged Sango. She held onto her as long as she could, then it got to painful. "I-rhh-" Sango felt her grip loosen as she collapsed to the couch. She cant die...she just cant... Sango looked at her. She watched her chest rise and fall. Suddenly she stopped. She just stopped breathing. "Saiyu?" "Amy!" "what is it?" "Saiyus stoped breathing!" Sango was scared. A feeling of fear and dredd coursed threw her. "S-Saiyu?" Sango stumbled back. She fell down onto her butt. She was shocked. shes gone... Sango coulod feel her emotional wall cracking. Amy began giving her artificial resperation. After 3 minutes, she began breathing again. "Sango shes breathing for now...but-but I don't know for how long..." "S-Saiyu?" Sango felt her forehead. It was burning. Kyoji watched Saiyu worried. It was 10:00 "I have to go to bed, I have school tomarrow...you two keep watch over her, make sure one of you is awake all the time...goodnight..." Amy walked upstairs. Kyoji hugged sango. "She wont die..." He said, trying to re- asure himself. "S-Sango...I-I feel kinda numb..." "your fine" "n-no...im not...its like muy life is just slipping away..." "shut up...your fine..damnit!y-your just fine, you cant die...y-you wont die...you wont..." Sango said in a angry voice.Saiyu lay back, coughing hardly, then gasping. She faded into sleep.
1 week later
Saiyu had fully recovered after that. Kyoji had teased Sango relentlessly for almost crying. "Aughh!!!" Sango tore down the stairs. Kyoji was chasing her. "CUDDLE!!!" "Raving Psyco!!" Saiyu sat on the couch holding a strange stone."Saiyu what is that thing?" "I was out in the shrine digging threw some very old artifacts, it's a very old jem...I've heard of it, but I never thoght it really existed...its made from the souls of a hundred pureified demons...it cane, if the ledgends are true, bring one person back to life..." "Really? Cool..." Kyoji said stareing at it. "wow...a hundred demons...in that thing?" "supposedly yes.." Thunder shook the house. Rain poured down. "More rain? Man..." Amy said disapointed. She fumbled the little blue jem in her hand yawning. "Whats a little rain? Im going outside..." Kyoji said walking out the door. "bye bye....don't come back for a long time..." Sango said jokingly. Kyoji walked up the slick mud path and into the woods. The warm rain drenched him. He walked threw the trees until he reached the cave. He walked into it, looking around. He saw the room where Saiyu and Sango had been held. He looked around on the hard floor. He walked as far back as the cave went. He found another seal. He picked up a iron key like thing and put it in a apperent key hole. He turned it. He heard a strange ping, a red glow filled the cave, then died away. Kyoji walked back to the house. "Hey guys! I found another seal!" "oh crap!you didn't open it!?" "no, I tried, a red glow, then nothing." "oh no..." "Why? Whats in their?" "I-it's a Demon, a polymorphic demon..." "a what?" amy asked strangly. "a perfect creation by Shindu, it was so incredibly evil, millions of times as powerful as Shindu himself...but it turned on him, and he sealed it away...Amy, if you thoght those other demons where strong...their bugs compared to this thing...before he sealed it away, he-he massicred villages, tortured children...unspeakable things...I-it takes 4 hours for him too be freed, hes too powerful...he'l desimate everything...he can re-generate tissue, he can duplicate, he can become a giant behemoth his power is unfathomable! There is no chance of us beating him...none at all..." Saiyu said worried. "Oh bah, he cant be that bad, the ledgends exagerated him!" Sango said. "Amy, Kyoji...I-if he sees you, he wont care, hel tourture you until you die of pain...Me and Sango, we can fight him at least, but humans just arnt strong enogh...hide in the basement...please..." Saiyu said. Onal ideas about throwing yourself in front of an attack, shut up, I will kill you myself if you try." "ok!point taken, point taken..." "is this thing really that powerful?" "yeah..." Kyoji stood up. "ok!is it just me, or does it always rain and storm outside when you fight?" "heh, it does..."
Later
"we have five minutes, get in the basement." Saiyu said sharpening her sword. They heard a muffled explotion come from the derection of the cave.
The rain slammed down in driving waves from the gray sky. "Sango, you ready?" "yeah, you?" "yes..." A man walked out of the woods in a black robe. "huh?" "Ahh...demons..." Sango raised her sword. Saiyu did the same. "Are you shindus creation...are the ledgends true?" "they are..." "You are his creation...the rumors where true..." Saiyu said. "oh stop waisting time, lets kill him!!" Sango said charginge him. He split into two copys. Their eyes widened. "huh?-rnnNN!" they slamed her face first into a tree. Saiyu slashed at them. They dodged her strikes, one connected. It ripped them in half. They watched in awe as The two halves of each one oozed back together. The thing got up and smiled sickly. The two things fused into one. "now...lets play" Saiyu and Sango flew up the mountain side, drawing him away from the house. They zipped threw the rain as it slipped over the leaves on the trees. The two ran threw the dark forest, the sound of mud splashing as they demon persued them. They exploded out of the dark forest as lightning broke the sky. They stood on a flat 50 by 200 foot perfectly flay stone cliff top. There was a 900 foot drop to the shrine, not quite a drop but a very steep hill, almost straight down. The thing swept up threw the trees. "you two...your fast. Especially you...and the one with the ears, the halfbreed...she seems to get hurt easyly" "shut up!" "Hes so calm...this is fun for him..." Sango said. She was driven into the ground. "rhh-HHH!!" Sangos shoulder snaped. "aww...broken bonens already? Halfbreeds are fragile little things..." he said fliping over her and back onto his feet, sliding to a stop in the rain. "shut u-HU"he stomped on her stomach. Saiyus sword was already in flight straight down on him. He dodged. Saiyu and the thing fought in a blur of blows. Sango jumped in. the two fought him for 12 minutes in the heavy rain. Strong wind whipped the water like needles threw the air. Saiyu was breathing hard. The thing just smiled, relaxed and calm "W-What the hell are you?" she asked angrly. "better then you" it said kicking Saiyu in the gut and punching Sango in the face. She fell down stunned. She felt the thing grab her arm. It squeezed her elbow. Sango felt it crunch under the pressure. She screamed. She shot her free arm up, driving it threw him. Sango pulled it out. "heh...rhh...not so tough now are y-huh?" he melted back together. He dodged. Saiyus sword blade whistled threw the air, missing his head. He knocked her back. She skidded across the slipery wet black stone. He looked at sango, kicking her stomach, and elbow.The thing grabbed her neck and squeezed, shutting off the airflow, silencing her screams. The thing punched her in the stomach. The force was unbelevable. Blood filled her throat. His choking hands kept it from being expelled. It slipped down her windpipe. It slugged her again. And again. Sangos eyes fogged over. She slowly began going limp. He relesed. She fell to the ground, violently coughing and gaging as blood spewed from her mouth. Saiyu watched as he walked toward her. She tried in vain to cut him, when she did, he melted back together. Saiyu was punched flat in the chest. She felt her sternum crack, knocking the wind out of her. She slid across the wet stone, almost falling over the edge. Her chest exploded with pain. She stood up. "Damn it! Shindu created you, you turned on him!your not a person, you a machine!" "yes...a perfect, killing, machine..." "you have no emotions at all do you!?" the thing was suddenly reduced to cubes. Sangos claws where bloody. She stood. "im fine...how the hell do we kill him!?" "heh, you cant..." The demon said as he restored himself. Rain poured down on them. A cold wind blew over. "now Saiyu...I think il kill you" he punched at her. She dodged it slicing him in half. He re-formed. "give up you fo-AUGH!" Sango drove her sword threw him. "rr!" blood dripped from his mouth and the woulnd. "but...il kill the anoying halfbreed first!" It punched at her. Sango dodged it. Saiyu jumped in. the three fought none stop for 13 long minutes. Saiyu was weak, but Sango was falling apart. She had broken bones, and her liver and stomach where opulverized. The internal bleeding began to take its toll. The demon dropped down and swept his leg under Sango, causing her too fall back into a puddle. He launched after Saiyu. Saiyu saw the man fly at her, his shape becoming clearer threw the cold driving rain. She fought on. Sango was feeling faint. The blood she coughed up was almost jet black. She stood up. The thing threw Saiyu to the ground. She cryed as her smashed chest was compacted. Sango stood up, disoreinted. She stumbled, trying to stay upright. She felt light headed. Blood flowed from her cuts and gouges. He wet kimono was almost shredded. "rhh...huh?" she said looking a a shadow aproching in the thick hard rain. She felt its foot slam into her stomach. She oddly enogh didn't feel pain. She relaxed. She felt her feet skid across the stone, then the ground slowly dropped away from her. She fell, seemingly like a feather, off the side of the cliff. I-im falling... She felt strange as she fell. She slammed into a rock, snapping her ribs, she rolled threw the dirt, smashing into rocks and trees. She flipped threw the air limply. she rolled and flipped at a increddable speed. She felt her bones break with every new impact. She skidded over rocks, slicing deep into her flesh. im just falling...peacful...quitly falling...She was too delirious to notice. She felt light some how. She flipped off into the air, into a 600 foot straight down drop. She slammed into a large rock with a series of loud cracks. She kept rolling threw the trees, still awake. She slid down the slick wet muddy grass hill to a stop by the side of the house. She couldn't move. Her arms, legs, ribs were all smashed. Her inerdes where crushed. The basement door opened. "Sango?" "Sango!" Kyoji and Amy ran over too her. She was staring up at the rain. Blood leaked from the hundreds of dirty cuts she had. "A-Amy...K-Kyoji... "oh god...Sango?" Amy felt her arms and chest. All her bones where smashed. She pressed her chest. She could feel the bone fragments grind against eachother. blood seeped threw her kimono. Blood flowed from her mouth. "...I-its kind of relaxing...I-I feel weird... like im floating..." Amy held her hand. "S-Sango?" "Sango?" Kyoji felt her cheek. "Sango...how bad does it hurt?" Kyoji asked in a tear choked voice. "I-I don't feel much..." "good..." his eyes wattered up, as did amys. He put his hand on her shoulder. "i...rnnn..." She slowly relaxed. Sangos eyes where open, staring blankly up at the sky. Sango?" Amy asked. She just lay their, the rain sliding down her face. "S-Sango?!" "Sango?!!" "S-Shes dead...Sango is dead..." Kyoji said shocked. He fell back onto the grass. Amy began crying, the sound drowned out by the pouring rain. "S- Sango..." Kyoji held her limp form in his arms, hugging her. He set her down. "G-Goodbye..." He said softly.
Saiyu stumbled up. damn it! "rhh.." "you cant beat me...il just keep coming..." Saiyu had a idea. if I can just...perfect.... "ok!were going for a ride!!" She tackled him and pushed him back and off the cliff. She controlled the roll down the hill so she landed by the cave. She got up and pumbled him back into the chamber he was in. she grabbed the arrow that had held her in and nailed him to the wall. "ha! Stupid girl...all that for a arrow in the chest? Your not to-hey...he I cant get it off-I-" the thing became a imprint in the stone. The wall re-appered, re sealed. Saiyu stumbled down the hill to the house. Kyoji was holding Sango. "Is she ok?" she asked threw the pain. "Saiyu...she...shes dead...Sangos dead." The words hit her like a freight train. "s-shes dead?I cant...wait...yes!" "what?!" they yelled scolding her. She ran into the house and came back out with the blue jem. She ripped Sangos Kimono open. She slit her stomach open. She pushed the blue jem in. Sango jerked. They heard a sick grinding noise as her bones fused back toghether and her flesh healed. She shot up. "HUH!?" She gasped. "Sango!" Kyoji hugged her. "huh? I-whats going on..." she felt her ribs and chest. They where healed. She looked around. "how did I-" "The jem...we healed you with the jem...heh, the ledgends where true..." "What happened to the Demon?" "I sealed it back in the cave." "good..." Kyojis eyes where watery. "c-cuddle?" Everyone fell over. "just playing...glad your back sango..." He huged her. "I-I cant breath!y-you can l-let go now-" Kyoji relesed. "heh...oops, sorry..." He said. He reached up and flicked her left dog ear. "ow..." she twitched it. "do that again and il beat you senseless." "ok...ok..." Amy and Saiyu hugged her. "rhh!" "Saiyu?" "my chest is still really busted up. Give it two days, theres a lot of broken bones..." "its just amazing how fast you demons can heal..." amy said. "Amys right, I mean When shindu last came, Sango here had her liver, right lung, stomach, all her right ribs cut straigh in half...she almost bled to death, but in 8 days, it was all but gone...hey, why don't you get scars?" "I don't know, we just don't." Amy spoke up, "your blood cells must reproduce at a humongus rate of speed, a human would have bled to death in 30 seconds from that woulnd." "what are cells?" she asked curiously. "nevermind."
Later
Sango was perched on the couch rest, as rain poured down outside. Amy was sleeping in a heap with Kyoji. Sango lay down on the couch, and drifted off to sleep. Saiyu was laying up on her bed, asleep quietly. It was raining harder, the wind had been gusting heavly as well. Sango slept softly. She was dreaming of a thunderstorm, she was standing in the middle with her sword. Not for any peticular reson however. A boy walked toward her threw the darkness. Kyoji. She woke up and looked down at him, sleeping like a rock. She lay back down. It was 10:00pm. She got up and walked up to her bedroom, floped down on the bed, and fell asleep. The moon rose high into the sky. Her ears dissapeared. Her eyes turned brown. Amy curled up in her bed, next to Saiyus. Kyoji was groggy. Her wondered half-awaqke up the stairs and fell into bed. Sango was already out like a light. Kyoji curled up next to her. She punched him by reflex. "ow...she wants to beat me even when shes asleep..." he fell asleep, dreaming of food.
Morning
"wow...im not late..." Amy said as she looked at the clock. She took her time getting to school. Kyoji woke up. The bright sun beamed into his eyes. He turned away. "aughh..." He looked at Sango. She was human. He watched her red kimono rise and fall as she breathed softly. He smiled. He put his hand on her shoulder. to think...she was dead... "Kyoji?" Saiyu asked from the door. "Saiyu? What are you doing? You shouldn't be up, demon or not, lay back Down, your ribs arnt healed yet." "im fine..." she waked downstairs. "Saiyu-" Kyoji followed her. She collapsed on the couch. "oww..." "now Stay put..." "k-kyoji...the blue jem we saved sano with...theres a catch, you havve to take it out within24 hours...or she dies." "WHAT?" "you have cut open her stomach and take it out..." "But shes human!" "look, it will hurt her a lot, but I don't have the physical control...I keep colapsing, so you'l half to do it..." "but i..." "go get her, we have mabye one hour..." "oh man..." She walked upstairs. "Sango?" Her brown eyes opened. "come downstairs" "ok..." she walked down to the living room. "ok, now get undressed" "what! You little!" CLUNK "OW! I ment open your upper kimono, so your stomachs showing..." "why?" "Sango, he has to take the blue jem out...or you'l die...he has to cut you open." "what? No! " "But you'l die..." "i...whatever, ok..." "Kyoji, you half to tie her down somehow, shes human so she wont break free." "ok.." He got some rope and tied her down to the couch legs and the door frame. "Im sorry sango..." "I-im not that weak..." "Saiyu are you sure.." "there." She said putting her finger on her belly, right where the ribs stopped. "right there, cut there..." "I don't.." "shel die in 30 minutes if you don't." He went out and got a razor blade. "right there?" "yeah..." "ok Sango ready?" "sure" she said pretending to be calm. don't scream. Don't scream. If you scream they'll know you're a weakling.don't scream. Don't scream she thought as he placed the razor over her stomach. "its not long enogh" Saiyu said. "get a knife. A very very sharp knife." Kyoji went out into the kitched and got a long thin, super sharp fillet knife. "ok..Kyoji, put it there, and just press in until you feel almost no resistance...then cut her open.im sorry sango..." "ok..here we go" He pushed the bladeb lightly down. It sunk into her skin. "rhh-" its not that ba- he jabbed it threw her stomach. "ouh-aughHH!" "Cut her open!now!" he yanked d it down. Sangos head lurched back as she cried. Tears leaked down her cheeks. "ok...reach in and find the jewel." "but I" "the quicker you do it the less pain shel feel! She crying!" "he reached in. he felt his hand being coated by warm blood. He felt around. Sango gasped, screaming. He yanked it out. "aughHH!HH!" she wailed. "ok...now the bandag-" "no...Amy told me about this...her wound will get infected easily, shes a human...get alchohol..." he went and got some. "ok...now Amy said this hurts...but the discriptions of deseses you can get wernt pretty..." "ok.." Kyoji dumped half the bottle onto her cut. Kyoji covered his ears as the loudest, most bloodcurdling scream he had ever heard filled the room. It stopped. Sango had passed out. "ok, seal her up..."
12 Minutes Later
Sango was on the couch holding her stomach. Kyoji was holding her. "im sorry..." "rh-rhh...." Tears leaked down her cheek. "it hurts so much..." "easy..lay down..." Saiyu stood by her. Sango had blood in her mouth. "im sorry..here.." Kyoji helped Sango up the stairs to her room. She lay down on the cool sheets. Kyoji lay down by her.he snuggled next to her. She was in to much pain to resist. "augh-" "im sorry.." he rolled away. He watched her as she fell asleep. Poor girl...I feel horrible...well at least shes not dead...
4 hours later
Amy had gotten home and the group had explained dit to her. It was 9:00PM
"just kidding!just kidding!" "il kill you!" "aughh!help!Saiyu!" CLUNK "ow..." "call me stupid again and il-" "ok...I surrender! Im sorry Sango...your not stupid...im really sorry...cuddle?" CLUNK "ouch!"
That Night
Sango tossed and turned in her sleep. She was in the middle of a dark space, nothing but darkness surrounding her. People all around her where dieing, being tourtured. Saiyu was burning alive. Amy was being eaten alive, and kyoji was being crushed to death. Sango lay curled in a ball surrounded by the cries of everyone she had ever known as they screamed and wailed. It was too much for her. She covered her ears, but the sounds only got louder. Laughter filled the back ground. She heard knashing teeth and the sound of crunching bones. Sango shot up. She was scared almost to death. Tears rolled down her cheeks as the images and noises continued to flash threw her brain. stop!stop it! She was getting even more scared. Kyoji woke up. "sango?" "I-*rhhH!*" she threw herself on kyoji and held onto him like she would be sucked away into a void if she let go. She cried and cried. "help me! H-*rhhH...*" She pressed her face into his chest, weeping. "Sango...whats wrong..." She didn't answer, she was to terrified to listen. shes scared...I'v never seen anyone so terrified...shes holding me so tight... "its ok sango..." He patted her back. The images flashed threw her head. Her friends being eaten alive, the looks on their faces, their screams. Kyoji was standing in flames,his face was twisted, his eyes hissed with steam. "Sango...easy..." he said rubbing her back. "K-kyoji..." "it was just a dream...its ok Sango..." "Kyoji...I-it was horrible..." "are you ok?" "t-the pictures...the souds they wont go away!help me...I-im so scared..." She uried her face in his chest, trembling. Sango... Sango wanted to melt into Kyoji, to run away. The images got worse and worse. She held him tighter, weeping. "its ok..." He held her. She scooted onto his lap, as much as she could, and curled tightly into a ball, like cat would. "Sango..." She was shivering. He held her against his chest, wraping is arms around her. One hand was over her butt, unintentionaly.. "I-I wish I could hide inside you...I-im cold...it wont stop...it wont...those noises...rhh...I-im scared..." "Sango your crying..." A loud thunderbolt shook the air. She tightened up suddenly. "Sango...whats wrong with you...this isnt you..." He finnaly noticed something. Her dog ears wher gone. "your human...but still Sango...what I s this?" He reached back and found a long thin needle in her back. It was gold. "what is this..." Sango sat up. "Kyoji? What am I doing here...and why am I crying..." "this thing I guess..." "oh crap...I remember, I leaned against it...it's a tool used to purify demon souls, locking away all negative things...oh no...what did I do?..." "you cried like a baby and im not kidding...my kimono is soaked...iv been holding you for 2 hours..." "I-I did not!" "you did too..." "I didn't! its impossible!" "you wept and cryed a river, holding me like I was life itself..." "I didn't! no!" "it was sweet..." "I-...whatever!" She rolled over.
Meawhile
Amy was sitting up, awake again. dad...it was today...five years ago...he died...il go visit his grave today... "What you thinking about?" Saiyu said as she sat up. "you look lost in your thoghts..." "today...it was today...five years ago my dad died. Say, Saiyu, would you like to come with me to his grave today? I could use a friends company..." "Sure...what happened to him? Oh, im sorry Amy...if it upsets you you don't have to answer..." "I was walking home from school, I remember it like it was yesterday...it was a hot, beautiful summer day, and I was exited because I got a A on a big test, and couldn't wait to show him..." she said in a sunny voice. "I was so proud of it...I saw him across the street and I ran out into the street...I didn't see the car...I stoped when I did. He ran out and pushed me out of the way...the car hit him...he died saving me..." "Amy...I shouldn't have asked im sorry..." "its ok Saiyu..." "And yes...I will go with you to see his grave..." "Thank you...you the best frend iv ever had..." She said smiling.
Morning
Amy got up and put on her black kimono, just as Saiyu did. It was still dark out. "Amy, you want to get going?" yawn "sure..." They walked out the door. the cool morning breeze felt nice. "So what was your dad like?" "I don't know...nice, I remember a lot of nice things..." "I bet you wish you had a sister or brother..." "nn.." "Amy?" "I-I did...My little brother...he got sick and died...I-I don't want to talk about it..." "im sorry...I know how you feel..." "I know...its weird...he died on my 13th birthday...he was six..." "its really nice out isnt it?" Saiyu said in a attempt to change the subject. "it is..."
10 Minutes Later
Amy walked threw the rows of graved and found her fathers.Amy, set the flowers down.
Meanwhile
Sango was up and about, wandering around. yawn... "Sango, you look like a gargoyle perched on that armrest...a angel of a gargoyle but a gargoyle..." "don't even say that word." "what? Gargoyle?" "Angel...don't say Angel..." "ok, I take it back, your not that nice...far from it..." "Angels arnt nice..." "yes they are, they have halos and"
A type of demon...horrifyly powerful and ruthless. They arnt very comon, its estimated only 7 exist in the world, but their unstoppable...I had a run in with one once." "Cool? What happened?" "forget it..." "ok. Lets watch a movie!"
Saiyu and Amy walked down the street. "it was here..." Amy said stoping. "lets go..." the two walked up the shrine steps. "whats up?!" Kyoji asked from the door. "Kyoji, why are you holding Sangos kimono?" "oh...ha! She took a shower and I nabbed her clothes...heh, shes still up there." "Kyoji! Im gonna tear of your head!" "come down and get them Sango..." "Kyoji...give her her clothes back." Amy said lightly snickering. "I hear that! Stop laughing!" "ooP!"
Later
Kyoji was uncontious. Sango had decked him out cold. "a bit to rough...but he deserved it...Amy?" Saiyu asked. She was sleeping. "weird." "whos weird?" "don't worry sango..." "ohh...Sango, you didn't half to hit me that hard." "you steal my clothes again..." "hey, I was just kidding..." "Kyoji, I should beat you..." "well you already did that...ow...halfbreed, half brain..." "shut up."
Sango was sleeping on the couch. Kyoji was sleeping too, leaned up against her, and amy and saiyu were both asleep in a heap of pillows. Saiyu turned in her sleep. She was in a huge bloody field, surrounded by bodies, the tall grass was on fire, the flames roared upward. Saiyu saw them fighting. The demon brahma and her older sister where fighting. The rest of her family were slaughtered, there blood staining the field. "katsumi no!" she cried as she saw her sister get sliced clean in half in a shower of blood. Brahma stood there, his eyes burning red like the embers that filled the night air, laughing sickly. He began looking around. "I don't sense it...its not here...where is it..." he said looking around. A movement in the grass. Saiyus eyes widened. Her little sister, nami. She had gone missing hours ago. "mommy? Mommy!!" she saw her shredded body. Nami..no...stay hidden...no- Brahma picked her up. "whao are you?!" she said crying. "you a demon...die!!" he threw her into a tree. He shot an arrow into her neck. She fell limp. Dead. Saiyu shot up in a cold sweat. It was dark. It was 1:00AM. "Nami...damn it...I keep having this dream...why? Brahma was looking for the key...the nemisis key, that I wear around my neck...my family is dead for it...and I don't even know what it is..." She looked at the blue crystal shard around her neck. "what could this thing do that's so damn important...my family was murdered for this stupid thing..." "watcha thingin bout?" Amy asked as she woke up. "nothing..." "ok...you've been acting a bit weird latly, and iv seen you crying in your sleep..." "i...its just a nightmare. Iv been having it over and over latley..." "about what?" "my family...being slaughtered its like I have to relive it everynight..." "im sorry..."
The Fuedal Era
Two cloaked figures stood inside a shrine by a lake. The sun set behind a mountain as a cold breeze blew by."this is becoming annoying..." Shindu said, wrapped in a cloak. "which is the reason I sought you out...you see, you have aquired a reputation...for phantom puppetry...you will be payed well..." "what is the task you wish me to preform?" the cloaked figure asked darkly. "I want you too eliminate a group of demons...there is one demon, Saiyu, a huge annoyance, be carfull, but kill her slowly. There is a halfbreed, Sango, she has interfeared with my plans to many times, before I sealed them in the cave. There are two humans, a boy and a girl, they are harmless, but have saved the two demons from bleeding to death many times, and are annoying. Be Carful around the Human girl, avoid getting her furious, she seems to have untapped power...it matters not. Kill them. Kill them all.As for my choice of puppets...the Human boy. Saiyu will not kill him, because he is human, she would mearly try to dissable him...and, the halfbreed seems to have a certain...how shall we say, affection, for the human boy, she couldn't kill him...use him." "very well. I will return withing three days." "good.now go." He walked into the cave and threw the wall.
"OH NO!!!!!" Kyoji wailed in greif. "t-theres no more dounuts!!!there all gone!!" He ran to Sango. "Hold me." She peeled him off. "jees...go bug amy..." Saiyu smiled. Sango stood up. Yawn "Im going for a walk..." Sango walked out the door and began walking up the stone steps to the shrine. what a nice day...its been so peaceful around here...nice, peaceful summer...weve gone too the beach a few times, and just had fun...the last few battles ive been in thogh, iv been hurt real bad... Amy, Kyoji, and Saiyu have saved me a lot...Amy, she still has those nightmares of her fathers death...and Saiyu, Nightmares as well, but they both remain happy...Kyoji...I don't know much about his deep past, his parents, and...and how he got that huge scar...he tries to hide it...I know hes got some very dark secrets...but his light hearted, happy attitude toward everything concels it...one of the reasons I like him... she reached the top. She jumped up, onto the shrine roof and just watched the sun set. I wake up at night, and hes tossing in his sleep, sometimes he cries...he wakes up, and I tell him to shut up and clonk him over the head for it...when I had those terrable nightmares, and woke up crying, he hugged me, made me feel safe somehow...and I hit him over the head...mabye I should ask him whats wrong...but then id look like a softy...oh well...hes always nice to me...but I don't like playing the counseler... She saw him walking up the steps. He jumped up by her. "hi Kyoji" "hey." "Kyoji, iv been meaning to ask...how did you get that scar on your back?" "huh?you mea-" "look, I noticed it over 6 Months ago, how did you get it?" "i..." "Kyoji? Ok, don't talk" Kyoji held her hand. "huh?" hes to nice to me...to soft-what the? He grabbed her wrist. "Kyoji?" "Stand up Sango." "ok..." He looked at her. "now Sango...cross your arms and legs." She did. "ok...the point of this is what?" "heh, you look ridiculous.stupid halfbreed." He said smirking amused. "Kyoji, what are you doing?" "shut up. Heh, you're a freak, ya know that Sango?" "Listen. I think you know how easly I could kill you" She said holding her claws up. "I know. But you just a mutt...you killed your own mother sango, a piece of halfbreed trash..." "listen Kyoji! Anymore and il- " "youl what?" he said smirking. "youl kill me? Then do it dog girl.common you four eared freak. Do it. Murder me. Kill me like you killed your mother..." He shoved her off the roof. She flipped and landed on her feet. He followed her. "well Sango, say something..." he pushed her again. "That's it!" She whipped her sword out and pressed the tip against his shoulder. "Any more and il-" no.no, sloppy girl. Your stab here." He moved dit over his throat. "kill me.don't dissable me.common, kill me.do it! common!you cant can you? You weakling halfbreed moron...you CANT! Your to overcome by your pathetic human emotions...your so weak its funny." He pushed her down onto her back and kicked her gut. "Kyoji?" "ha,did you think I loved you? I gained your unbreakable trust over the period of almost a year...I could never love a halfbreed piece of shit like you...ha.your blind. Shindu offered to pay me quite hansomly for the time I have invested. I played you like a fool, and you followed like an obedient dog, just like you are...I despise you halfbreed...I loath you from the very depths of my being...now, I wont kill you...il leave you, in this cold wind...ha,what a fool..." he said smirking. "il kill you." She whipped her sword out and slashed his arm. He looked at it, rubing the blood between his fingers. "wow.you gave me a paper cut...im going to do much worse..." "try it.." "very well-" a cloud of gas exploded from his robe, surrounding Sango. She coughed. Her vision got blurry and it became hard to breath. "poison gas!!" "Aww...hard to breath? Is the wittle halfbreed overcome?...heh" "Kyoji il-" He unshethed her sword and sliced her arm with it. He slashed her manicly, blood flying everywhere.
4 Minutes Later
Saiyu ran up the steps. "What the hell?" Gas exploded directly in her face as she was inhaling. She fell to her knees, gasping. "Kyoji?...uhn..s- sango? Whats g-going on...uhn-" She couldn't stand up. Kyoji began wildly whipping Sangos sword at saiyu. She dodged very slowly, then stood still. He kept slicing her until she fell gasping. "gas is such a nice toy, very effective on demons...heh...well Saiyu, I expected a much better fight from you...the halfbreed was so easly ovecome by the gas." Sango stood up in her blood stained Kimono. "DIE!" She slammed him into the ground She began choking him. She felt his throat begin to crush. She stopped, shaking. I-I cant do it...weakling!!he betrayed you!!kill him!but...I cant....i just cant... "Your pathetic. You cant even kill me. Love is such a weakness...even to save yourself...how can you possably feel so much affection for me. Your to emotianal sango. Your too human." "Shut up. You may look like kyoji. But the kyoji we knew was a fraud!I have no feeling for you whatsoever now. Now kyoji, belive me...I will kill you..." he smiled as blood seeped between sangos fingers as her claws sliced into his neck. "t-that's it....kill me....murder me..." "You decived me and Amy into beliving you where our dear friend...and you saw an even better opertunity didn't you...a little bonus. A halfbreed demon that was in love with you. Il tell you this, she had never been as happy as she was around you, she never showed any powerful emotions very often before. The character you created tore down that wall, she openly expresed her affection to you, she loved you. And you turn out to be one of shindus henchmen. She isnt crying now kyoji. Shes not crying for one reson. Shes to shocked. She will later on. You didn't break her heart kyoji, your punched your fist into her chest tore it out, and crushed it in front of her. For that. For that I will kill you. Sango may not be able too kill you.but I asure you. I can." Saiyu said angrly. Her eyes shined a brilliant white. "Saiyu..." Sango stumbled away, in pain from the cuts. She sat down by the shrine. it was all a lie...all of it...I fell in love with a lie...but that's impossible...no one can pretend that well... blood pooled around her. She hadent noticed it before. The throbing pain from her liver. "heh...to think he would be the one that finnaly finished me off..." "So, sango...how do you like my latest puppet?" the voiceof shindu asked. "I knew it..." "il relese him now. But first for sango...saiyu, don't you dare move," she was paralized. "a-afreeze wave...damn it..." "Sango...il freeze you too." "now sango, I belive, you are familiar with a spot on your body...its not very big at all...but it is very, very sensitive..." He said, using his sword to pull her pants down. "Shindu don't you even..." "where is it...ah, right here..." he said placing his sword blade on herabdomin. He slid the cold steel up her stomach, to her lower left rib. "its called the sun-spot..." "Shindu you bastard..." she said, not liking this one bit."oh yes. The pain is so intense, people have begged to die...who better to kill you than you're the human you love so much..." He jabbed the dice sized area with his sword. Sango let out the most blood curtling scream she ever heard. "Stop it!!your killing her!" Amy cried. "yes...the pain is said too be 500 times worse than having your stomach exploded from the inside...shes tough, il give the fool that...most would be dead by now.." Sango winced. Sangos eyes widened. She fell limp, her eyes fogged over. "well. I will take my leave of you now, this bores me...and you, thank you for the work, we shall return now" Shindu said re- sheathing his sword. A black cloaked figure dropped from a near by tree. They faded away. Kyoji stumbled foward. "h-how did I get out here? Sango...Saiyu...blood... ...did I miss something?" Saiyu explained everything. Sango was still uncontious.
3 Hours Later
Sango was still in pain, but could talk. "Sango...you ok?" "im fine..." Kyoji poked her ribs her eyes widened as she doubled over, coughing blood. ."Kyoji!don't even bump her there. Not for 2 days! The pain she gets from that area once the skin is broken, or if its jit at the right angle, is the equivelent of 5 times the pain nyou would reseve if you balls where smashed." Kyoji crossed his legs. "Sango...im sorry..." he said blue faced, sheepishly.
Sango was still a human. yawn... She relised Kyoji was downstairs. She stayed in bed, thinking. Kyoji was sitting on the couch. Amy was lost in her thoghts.
Next Day
Sangos yellows eyes opened. Kyoji was snuggled against her. Yawn she rolled away from him and walked down stairs. Saiyu and Amy where on the couch, watching tv. Sango ploped down. Her ears twitched. She looked around. "I swore I smelt a demon...hmm...must still be half asleep. Im going for a walk." She walked out the door. Kyoji dashed out the door after her. "oh, hi." "oh, hi. Common...hug..." Kyoji viced onto her. Sangos eyes bulged out. "o-ow-cant-breath-" "oh...sorry." "its ok..." the dark clouds overhead burst open. Lightning lit the sky as rain poured down."its raining...common kyoj-*uhH!* Sango was thrown violently forward by an unseen force.she slammed into a tree, cracking it in half. Sango fell to the ground. "Sango!" Kyoji ran over. Sango felt pain ripping threw her gut. One of her ribs was broken. She stumbled up. A ring of metal rang out as she whipped out her sword. "where is it!" "I don't know!" Kyoji was worried. UH! Sango felt a fist drill into her stomach. Her sword clattered to the ground. She slumped over. Blood dripped from her mouth. She stumbled up. "who are you." "take a guess-" a loud familiar voice boomed. "shindu...rhh-" "you guessed it." "and its not a puppet this time..." "Saiyu will-" "shes dead Sango...I broke her neck...just like Hinoki...heh heh..." "Saiyu is-" "yep.." "il kill you..." she said in a tear choked voice. "IL KILL YOU!!" She ran at him as the figure apeared. Her sword clashed with his. The sound of clanging metal echoed threw the woods. Kyoji ran back to the house. He flung open the door. Saiyu was watching tv. "Saiyu!your Alive!?" "yeah...whats up with you?" "Sango's fighting Shindu, and shes loosing bad!" Saiyu flew out the door. "SHINDU!" he grabbed sangos arm and flung her threw the air into Saiyu. Amy wasn't far behind. im nothing but an inconvinience to them...safer back here...I cant help. Sango crashed into Saiyu. The two where knocked back into the ground. Sango got up. She saw a flash of shindus face then everything went black. He slugged dher in the face as hard as he could. She crumpled and landed with a splash in the dark mud. Red blood flowed from her nose. Saiyu whipped her sword at him. He dodged it, whirling over her and slashing. She dodged as well. The two clashed swords and exganged blows for 30 seconds. Saiyu was hurled into a tree. She collapsed onto all fours, her palms sunk into the cold mud. UH- she felt his elbow slam into her lower back, over her kidney. She could hardly breath as pain wrenched threw her. Shindu laughed. His red scars iluminated by the flashing lightning. Saiyu stumbled up, only to immediately be slammed down into the ground again. She looked over at sango. I-I have to keep going until shes contious...or we'll both die... she thoght, as the rain slid down sangos face, mixing with blood. Saiyu dodged Shinus next punch. They shot threw the woods at lightning speed, exganging blows, and dodging. Amy and Kyoji stood anxiously by the house. Sango rose out of the mud. "Sango-Help!I cant keep fighting like this!" "Sango?" She stood there, expretionless. A red needle was imbedded in her shoulder. She flew at Saiyu, her sword drawn. The razor sharp steel blade whipped threw the driving rain. "Sango?!" She ducked. Barely dodging Sangos sword. Her yellow eyes where cold and emotionless. Shindu sliced as well. It missed Saiyu, but cut deep into Sangos side. She didn't flinch. "Sango!what wrong with yo-*Crunch*AU- AughhHHHH!!!" She felt shindu break her lower arm clear in two. Sango was bleeding badly. Saiyu dodged Sango and Shindus Slashed and blows, but barly. She already had a deep cut along her arm, and her left arm was disabled. "Shindu slashed Madly. The blade cut threw her chest and down her back, slicing her leg. Saiyu was shaking. Sango had 3 new cuts. Saiyu lauched toward her. She slashed. Sango blocked. Perfect She grabbed the red needle and threw it away. Sango collapsed to the wet dirt. rhh... She stumbled up slowly. Shindu didn't have one cut on him yet. "You've gotten soft Sango...and Saiyu,n you've just plain gotten weak..." "Shut up..." Sango said glaring. Shindu suddenly flew at Sango. Sango raised her sword to block. A loud ping echoed threw the woods. Shindus sword crashed threw Sangos, shattering it into two pieces. The blade sliced down right over Sangos Right coller bone, cutting halfway down her body. Blood gushed from the wound. Sango collapsed. She lay, shaking, wide eyed in shock as she felt the blood run out of her. Sango shook, blood gushed from the wouldnd. She tensed up, relaxed. Her eyes where wide, shocked. I-im going numb... "That wound is fatal Sango, even for you...don't worry, you should bleed to death in 3 minutes..." "Damn you!!" Saiyu shot after him. He just laughed, dodging her blows like they where nothing. Sangos Yellow eyes where beginning to dull. Amy and kyoji dragged her back to the house. "Kyoji, get me the hose" "ok-" he came back with the hooked up garden hose. Amy tore her kimono oped over the wound. She shot water over her, cleaning the dirt and mud out of the woulnd. Amy then proceeded to tape her shut with 5 roles of gause and medical tape. They maneged to stop the bleeding. Sango was ghost with, uncontious. Her pulse was erratic as well. Saiyu skidded across the muddy stone steps, cutting her open. The right and left sleeved of her kimono where shredded. Blood leaked from the dirty scrapes and gouges. She had maneged to cut shindus left arm deeply. He had his share of bruises and cuts as well. "Shindu..." "Saiyu...you've gotten good...now...lets end this!!" He charged at her. The two exploded into a blur of slashes and punches. "Sango...?" Kyoji asked. She had stopped breathing 4 times, but they maneged to bring her back. She was out cold.
20 Minutes later
Saiyu had been run threw. She had a hole in her chest. It missed her heart by 1 cm. But she was bleeding badly. "Saiyu, your slowing..." "heh..*ckk*" blood spurted from her mouth. "so are you..." they charged and exploded into another wave of punches. Saiyu was knocked to the ground. She hung limp. Shindu pulled her up by her wet hair. "Augh-ugh..." Lightning flashed threw the pitch black sky. Shindu raised his sword and placed the tip in the left side of her upper back. "goodbye Saiyu" "UHH!" Saiyu gasped as she felt the three foor lenth of steel rip threw her back, and out her chest. The blade slit a major artery. Saiyu began going numb. Blood leaked from Shindus mouth. Her sword was rammed threw his heart. "It was a great fight saiyu...rhh-" He fell backwards. Pulling the sword out of her Back. He was dead. Saiyu pulled herself threw the cold rain. Her vision was getting distorted. She reached the door. She hit it once. She fell uncontious.
2 hours later
Saiyus eyes opened. "rhh..." She looked around. There was blood all over the floor. She couldn't see sango. "A-Amy...rhh-w-wheres Sango?" "She-" Saiyu went dead cold. "S-Shes upstairs...are you ok?" "il be fine...how is she?" "shes ghost white...uncontious...wheres Shindu..." "H-Hes dead...for good...there wont be a body, he will have phased back to his time..." "Good...im tired.."
5 Days Later
Saiyu was healed. And Sango was still in bed, messed up. "Sango?" Kyoji asked softly. "rhh!w-what..." "just wanted to say hi..." "ok..." Kyoji curled up by her, snuggling up to her. "Kyoji I-" "cuddle..." "Kyoji im serious it hurts!" "Cuddle..." "Damn it!Augh!" She winced in pain. "aww...sorry......Cuddle..." "I give up..." Sango let him cuddle up next to her. Smiling lightly as she fell asleep. Kyoji wrapped his arms around her, as he slipped off to dreamland.
Sangos eyes opened. She felt a bit of a draft. *hmm?" she looked down. A old grining preist had her pants pulled down. Amys grandfather. He noticed she was awake. She was staring daggers at him. "oh phooey.." CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK The old mans head swole up as he bumbled down the stairs. Kyoji was laghing. CLUNK "ow...man are you violent this morning..." Sango stood up. "rhh-" She dropped to one knee. "you ok?" Kyoji asked. "im fine..." She stumbled up and walked down the steps. She walked out into the kitchen. Amys mother was their. "oh,Hi Sango!hows our local Half demon?...you look beat up..." "its nice to see you too...and beat up? You have no idea...im fine.." "well, here, il fix you four some breakfast..." "thanks..." "You know Sango, you've gotten much more polite and open since the last time I saw you...well, I was gone for 2 months..." "don't push your luck..."Amys granpa walked into the kitchen. "hello..." he said oogling sango. CLUNK "give it up old man..."
Amy was in her room finnishing her homework. She put her books in her backpack and looked out the window. It was almost summer again, she had known Sango and Saiyu for 7 months, and Kyoji almost as long. I cant wait until summer vacation... she thoght putting away her Algebra books.
12:00
Kyoji was feeling happy. He climbed into bed. "huh...oh, kyoji...heh, hi..." "Cuddle..." "oh come on-" "cuddle..." "ok, we'll cuddle..." Sango snuggled up next to him. She smiled. this is so nice...for the past couple weeks weve had battle after battle...now, finnaly, Shindu is dead, and I can relax... Kyoji squeezed her tighter.
Morning.
Sango woke up, still cuddled tightly against kyoji. She relaxed on the soft matress. She was feeling a bit better. The warm sun beamed threw the window. Sango didn't want to get up. She didn't want anyone to see her. She was human, but not because of the lunar cycle. She was much weaker than normal. She tightened up. Her eyes turned a blood red and her pupils a sick, neon green. Her ears re-appered.She was full demon. Her fangs got longer. She tightened up again. Her eyes turned brown and her ears and claws dissapered. She was human. She rolled off the bed and dropped to the floor. "rhhH!!AughHH!!" her eyes turned red again as she returned to her full demon form. She stumbled dowm the stairs. "S- Saiyu, Amy!-Help!AughHH!" her eyes turned yellow. She was half demon. She kept rapidly changing forms. "Sango!" Amy ran over. Sango went ridgid. The shifts occurred 4 times each second. "au-augh-aughhH!!!" she suddenly collapsed to the floor. "Saiyu!Help Me!" Sango was shaking violantly. "Damn!I knew this was bound to happen sometime!" "What!what is it!?" "Its called Psyco-Glory. All half demons go threw it once a year, her normally sealed demon blood is sealed, and unsealed at a eratic rate, so she goes from her normal half demon form to human, to full demon, her mind cant handle the demon blood so she goes insane, shes very dangerous...it only lasts an hour or so thogh, wel have to hold her down until then!" "Psycho- Glory? Ha, no wonder!?rhh!" Sango turned full demon in a blast of heat. "rhh!!let me go!!damn you!!!" they could barely hold her down. Kyoji walked down. "Whats going on!? Whats wrong with her!? Sango??!" Sango slashed her claws across Kyojis face. "rhh!" "Sango!" "RHH!!!!AUGHHHHHH!!!!"Sango hurled amy and Saiyu into the wall.her eyes burned red, her sick green pupils turned blue. Sangos fangs grew a bit longer. "RHH- RRHHH!!AUGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Saiyu tried to restrain her. She was slnanmmedn violantly back threw the door. The wood splintered. She fell against the stairs. Her hands wrapped around the wood railing. "R-RHHHH!!!AUGHHHHH!!!" she tightened up as the railing splintered. "AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!- UG-" she returned to human form and fell limp to the floor gasping. "Amy are you ok?whats wrong with her?" "Shes going threw a stage, half-demons go threw it once a year, its called "Psycho-Glory"." "that's a freaky name...from what iv seen so far it sure fits..." Sangos eyes flicked open. They where yellow. Her ears where back. She looked at kyoji. He had a deep clean razor cut along the side of his face. Red blood leaked from it. "d-did I do that?" "rhh...yes, yes you did.." "Sorry...heh, but if I ever catch your hands on my chest when helping my up, I will do much worse..." "I didn't!I mean.." pervert" Kyoji blushed, scratching the back of his head. "heh heh...it wasw an accident" "pervert..." Amy rubbed her back. "Sango, you used one finger and hurled me into the wall, I thing you gave me a huge bruise...your full demon form is incredably powerful, how did you turn full demon anyway?" "im sorry...im only half demon, because the part of my demon blood that allows me to become full demon is sealed. My mind cant handle it...im to weak..." "Psycho-Glory,Just like christmas, it comes but once a year..." Amy said grinning oddly.
Sango tightened again, her eyes turned red. "oh crap!its not over. Hold her down!" "RHH-" Sango fell back uncontious, still shifting. They carried her up to her bed. Sangos brown eyes opened. "rhh..." She was shaking lightly, she felt weak. She stood up. Her legs barley held her up. She fell back down to the bed, gasping. Her eyes finaly phased back to their normal yellow color as her ears and claws re-appered. She collapsed back onto the bed, tired. She fell asleep. Amy was on the couch, drinking soda and watching a movie. Kyoji next to her. Amy yawned. She fell asleep, leaning against the armrest. Kyoji sat eating a doughnut and watching tv. Saiyu walked in. She surveyed the sceane. that's sad...heh she sat down on the couch and lay her sword across her lap. She took out a stone, and began sharpening it. "Saiyu, do you think shindus really dead?" "yeah...it was the real thing this time...the cave wall gate should be closed...Say, kyoji, how did yo uend up coming threw that thing?" "I was just walking when I saw two demons fighting...I got caught in the middle, and then Shindu sent those Shadowfoxes after me, and they chased me threw the gate..." "ok...I just don't understand it...your always so light hearted about everything, no matter how bad things get." Amy said. "well I half to compensate for Sangos gloomy never show emotion attitude..."
5 minutes later
Amy had drifted asleep. Kyoji sat, watching tv, thinking. the well gates closed...we can all lay back and have fun for once...no worries about demon attacks. He drifted off to sleep. When he woke up it was 2:00 in the afternoon. He saw Sango, asleep in a ball on the floor.Her red kimono rose and fell as she breathed softly. He carefully stept over her. He walked up the wooden steps. Amy was at her desk, slumped over her Algebra books. Saiyu was reading a book on her bed. Kyoj iwalked in. "oh, hi kyoji! I didn't want to wake any of you, we havent got much sleep latley..." "I know...so, you wanna take a walk? Its nice out." "sure." The two walked out the door. the bright sun warmed their faces. "Saiyu, I don't want to spoil the calm happy mood, but I need to ask you about something..." "sure, go ahead Kyoji." "Im preetty sure she doesn't want anyone to know about this, but being the chronic midnight snacker I am, I noticed this...Amy, you sleep in the same room with her, but iv also noticed you're a very deep sleeper. But Amy, in the middle of the night she tosses and turns, sweating. Then when she wakes up she's shaking, scared...I just want to know if you know whats going on..." "iv never noticed it before...but then again I sleep like a rock, or so people have told me...il aske her about it..." "Thanks...shes like a sister to me...I just want to know why shes having nightmares." "I understand, I feel the same way..." they walked back to the house. Sango was walking towards them. "Hi Sango" "Hey..." "Beautiful out isnt it?" Kyoji asked. "its ok" "hey..look!" A butterfly landed on sangos right dog ear. She twitched it, making it fly away. Kyoji hugged her. He relesed. "well, don't I get a thank you?" "whatever..." "Shes ok..." Saiyu wispered. "yep.." "Hey, kyoji...your right, it is beautiful..." "wow, did Sango wake from her nap sunny side up?" Saiyu smiled.
9:00PM
Amy and Sango where awake, watching a movie, and Saiyu was upstairs in her bed, sleeping, And Kyoji was in his bed sleeping. "Hey Amy, what happened to your dad?" Amys flinched. "um...I-...he was hit by a car when I was 5, he pushed me out of the way...I would have been run over, killed...I watched him bleed to death on the pavement..." "Amy...im sorry, I shouldn't have asked..." "its ok Sango..." "I-I kinda know how that must have felt...before I fell asleep, sealed in that cave, Shindu held my little sister, Hinoki, up to me, and broke her neck..." "im sorry, I-I have to go to sleep..." Amy walked slowly up the stairs and slipped under the covers. Sango sat on the couch. Hinoki... She walked into her room and lay down by Kyoji. She fell asleep.
She was in the cave, pinned to the wall. Shindu held Hinoki up, stroking her cheek. She was crying. "Sango..h-help...ple-*Crack*" He jerked her head to the side. Hinoki went ridgid and wide eyed then fell limp. Sango shot up. "Hinoki..." "rhh...Sango?" Kyoji woke up. "Whats up? Something wrong?" "no,of course not, im fine, why wouldn't I be?" "Nice try Sango...I know you, and I know that long sad look, whats wrong?Common Sango..." "im fine...just leave me alone..." She curled up tight into a ball. She slipped back into dreams. She was 13. She was in her human form so she could go into villages, it was dangerous to do that, villages where warring with each other. She threw a ball back and forth with a little 5 year old girl, Hinoki. Her little sister. She played with her for hours. Then night came. She ran out the Vilage gates as her ears and claws returned and her eyes turned yellow. Sangos eyes slid slowly open. I cant sleep...why am I acting like this...shes been dead for almost a year...to me anyway... Sango lay there thinking of all the times she had played with Hinoki, then the image of the wide eyed look of pain and shock as she felt her neck snap seeped into her mind. Tears streamed from her cheeks. Kyoji looked over at her. "Sango? Are you crying?" Sango rolled over. "no.of course not." "Sango whats wrong?" "I don't want to-" "Sango..." "I-I was just thinking of someone...my little sister, she was killed by Shindu, before I fell asleep in the cave...Amys dad died saving her from getting hit by a car...it-it just jogged some memorys...im sorry" "Sorry for what Sango?" "im so weak...I should just get over it. Shes gone, and I cant change it, that's all there is too it. Demons do not cry." "Sango, your half human too..." "I-..." Kyoji wiped a tear from her eye. "Sango, its not to comforting to see you cry, you never cry about anything..." Sango felt sick. "im weak...im just a halfbreed..." "Well you have cute ears!" he said happily as he wiggled them. "Pleae...stop.." "im just teasing Sango, im trying just to cheer you up." "im ok...I-I need to take a shower..." Sango walked out into the dark hallway and into the bathroom. She removed her kimono and stepped into the tub, closing the curtain. She turned the handle and closed her eyes as the warm streams of water hit her soft skin. She just closed her eyes and relaxed. She washed her hair with shampoo, witch she thoght was a odd thing to do, but it seemed to work. She spent 15 minutes standing in the shower relaxing. She turned the water off and dryed herself off. She was half asleep. She picked up her kimono and walked sleepily into her room, put on her kimono and fell asleep.
Next Day
Saiyu was walking threw the woods. She stopped and leaned against a tree, breathing hard. She felt unusualy tired. She collapsed and sat down under the tree. Her eyes slid closed, she slumped over limp. The sun rose high into the sky, shining down threw the trees creating a web like pattern over everything. Saiyu lay on the ground. Her brown eyes opened. She felt horrible. Chills shot threw her. She shook lightly. She felt the warm dirt underneath her face. She pushed herself up. She stumbled 6 feet then collapsed. She fell to the ground uncontious.
4 hours later-6:00pm
"Hey Amy? You seen Saiyu anywhere? Shes been gone awhile.." Sango said silently, perched on the couch armrest. "Shes right Amy, I havent seen here for about 6 hours, you think shes ok?" "Shes probebly doing something..." "even so, il go look for her.." Kyoji said as he walked out the door. it was dark. The warm humid air coated the shrine. "Saiyu?" he said walking threw the dirt trails in the woods. He saw the lights from the distant city glow below the horizon. "Whoa!!" he tripped and fell on his face. "ow..." what did I trip on? He felt it. Cloth. He could feel a warm body under it. "Saiyu?" he picked her up and carried her limp form over his shoulder to the house. "Kyoji? Saiyu!" He placed her limp form on the couch. Her Black kimono was soaked in sweat. Sweat trickled down her face and neck. She was breathing raspily. "Saiyu?" Amy said shaking her. "rhh-A-Amy...? I-I don't feel good..." "your sick, take it easy." "I-im not going anywhere...rnn-" "Its not like it will kill her..." Sango said, cross armed, leaned against the wall. "she has the flu Sango. Its not impossible, sadly, not unlikley if it gets any worse." This got sangos attention. She looked at Saiyu, watching her chest rise and fall iregularly. Kyoji put a wet rag on her forehead. "nN!" Saiyu went ridgid. Her breathing got much raspyer. She could barely breath. "oh no..." Amy said worried. "What is it?" Kyoji asked concerned. "I think she has pnemonia as well...get her something to drink while I get the thermometer...Sango?" "huh?" "keep her company" "ok." Saiyus brown eyes slid open slightly. "nn...Sango...hi..." "hey" "l-lean down here for a minute-rhh." Sango did. Saiyu, threw all the pain in her body, reached up and plucked a piece of a leaf off her left dog ear. "leaf...nn-" Saiyu fell back down. Sango twitched her left ear. "Saiyu..how do you feel?" "worse...im cold...nn" Amy came back wit ha thermometer. She put it in Saiyus mouth. She took it out. "one hundred and six..." "I still don't understand much of this fancy electro stuff, but is that bad?" Kyoji asked. "well, average is ninty eight, and if it hits one hundred and twelve..." "What then?" "then she'l die..." Kyoji was worried, so was amy. "Die?" Kyoji asked worriedly. "yeah...we have to keep her cool..." Kyoji and Amy went to get a towel and ice. Sango watched her worried. Saiyu felt herself getting dizzy, fading in and out of contiousness. " "S-Sango...rhhh!!c-come here...please..." "What is it?" Saiyu groaned as she sat up and tightly hugged Sango. She held onto her as long as she could, then it got to painful. "I-rhh-" Sango felt her grip loosen as she collapsed to the couch. She cant die...she just cant... Sango looked at her. She watched her chest rise and fall. Suddenly she stopped. She just stopped breathing. "Saiyu?" "Amy!" "what is it?" "Saiyus stoped breathing!" Sango was scared. A feeling of fear and dredd coursed threw her. "S-Saiyu?" Sango stumbled back. She fell down onto her butt. She was shocked. shes gone... Sango coulod feel her emotional wall cracking. Amy began giving her artificial resperation. After 3 minutes, she began breathing again. "Sango shes breathing for now...but-but I don't know for how long..." "S-Saiyu?" Sango felt her forehead. It was burning. Kyoji watched Saiyu worried. It was 10:00 "I have to go to bed, I have school tomarrow...you two keep watch over her, make sure one of you is awake all the time...goodnight..." Amy walked upstairs. Kyoji hugged sango. "She wont die..." He said, trying to re- asure himself. "S-Sango...I-I feel kinda numb..." "your fine" "n-no...im not...its like muy life is just slipping away..." "shut up...your fine..damnit!y-your just fine, you cant die...y-you wont die...you wont..." Sango said in a angry voice.Saiyu lay back, coughing hardly, then gasping. She faded into sleep.
1 week later
Saiyu had fully recovered after that. Kyoji had teased Sango relentlessly for almost crying. "Aughh!!!" Sango tore down the stairs. Kyoji was chasing her. "CUDDLE!!!" "Raving Psyco!!" Saiyu sat on the couch holding a strange stone."Saiyu what is that thing?" "I was out in the shrine digging threw some very old artifacts, it's a very old jem...I've heard of it, but I never thoght it really existed...its made from the souls of a hundred pureified demons...it cane, if the ledgends are true, bring one person back to life..." "Really? Cool..." Kyoji said stareing at it. "wow...a hundred demons...in that thing?" "supposedly yes.." Thunder shook the house. Rain poured down. "More rain? Man..." Amy said disapointed. She fumbled the little blue jem in her hand yawning. "Whats a little rain? Im going outside..." Kyoji said walking out the door. "bye bye....don't come back for a long time..." Sango said jokingly. Kyoji walked up the slick mud path and into the woods. The warm rain drenched him. He walked threw the trees until he reached the cave. He walked into it, looking around. He saw the room where Saiyu and Sango had been held. He looked around on the hard floor. He walked as far back as the cave went. He found another seal. He picked up a iron key like thing and put it in a apperent key hole. He turned it. He heard a strange ping, a red glow filled the cave, then died away. Kyoji walked back to the house. "Hey guys! I found another seal!" "oh crap!you didn't open it!?" "no, I tried, a red glow, then nothing." "oh no..." "Why? Whats in their?" "I-it's a Demon, a polymorphic demon..." "a what?" amy asked strangly. "a perfect creation by Shindu, it was so incredibly evil, millions of times as powerful as Shindu himself...but it turned on him, and he sealed it away...Amy, if you thoght those other demons where strong...their bugs compared to this thing...before he sealed it away, he-he massicred villages, tortured children...unspeakable things...I-it takes 4 hours for him too be freed, hes too powerful...he'l desimate everything...he can re-generate tissue, he can duplicate, he can become a giant behemoth his power is unfathomable! There is no chance of us beating him...none at all..." Saiyu said worried. "Oh bah, he cant be that bad, the ledgends exagerated him!" Sango said. "Amy, Kyoji...I-if he sees you, he wont care, hel tourture you until you die of pain...Me and Sango, we can fight him at least, but humans just arnt strong enogh...hide in the basement...please..." Saiyu said. Onal ideas about throwing yourself in front of an attack, shut up, I will kill you myself if you try." "ok!point taken, point taken..." "is this thing really that powerful?" "yeah..." Kyoji stood up. "ok!is it just me, or does it always rain and storm outside when you fight?" "heh, it does..."
Later
"we have five minutes, get in the basement." Saiyu said sharpening her sword. They heard a muffled explotion come from the derection of the cave.
The rain slammed down in driving waves from the gray sky. "Sango, you ready?" "yeah, you?" "yes..." A man walked out of the woods in a black robe. "huh?" "Ahh...demons..." Sango raised her sword. Saiyu did the same. "Are you shindus creation...are the ledgends true?" "they are..." "You are his creation...the rumors where true..." Saiyu said. "oh stop waisting time, lets kill him!!" Sango said charginge him. He split into two copys. Their eyes widened. "huh?-rnnNN!" they slamed her face first into a tree. Saiyu slashed at them. They dodged her strikes, one connected. It ripped them in half. They watched in awe as The two halves of each one oozed back together. The thing got up and smiled sickly. The two things fused into one. "now...lets play" Saiyu and Sango flew up the mountain side, drawing him away from the house. They zipped threw the rain as it slipped over the leaves on the trees. The two ran threw the dark forest, the sound of mud splashing as they demon persued them. They exploded out of the dark forest as lightning broke the sky. They stood on a flat 50 by 200 foot perfectly flay stone cliff top. There was a 900 foot drop to the shrine, not quite a drop but a very steep hill, almost straight down. The thing swept up threw the trees. "you two...your fast. Especially you...and the one with the ears, the halfbreed...she seems to get hurt easyly" "shut up!" "Hes so calm...this is fun for him..." Sango said. She was driven into the ground. "rhh-HHH!!" Sangos shoulder snaped. "aww...broken bonens already? Halfbreeds are fragile little things..." he said fliping over her and back onto his feet, sliding to a stop in the rain. "shut u-HU"he stomped on her stomach. Saiyus sword was already in flight straight down on him. He dodged. Saiyu and the thing fought in a blur of blows. Sango jumped in. the two fought him for 12 minutes in the heavy rain. Strong wind whipped the water like needles threw the air. Saiyu was breathing hard. The thing just smiled, relaxed and calm "W-What the hell are you?" she asked angrly. "better then you" it said kicking Saiyu in the gut and punching Sango in the face. She fell down stunned. She felt the thing grab her arm. It squeezed her elbow. Sango felt it crunch under the pressure. She screamed. She shot her free arm up, driving it threw him. Sango pulled it out. "heh...rhh...not so tough now are y-huh?" he melted back together. He dodged. Saiyus sword blade whistled threw the air, missing his head. He knocked her back. She skidded across the slipery wet black stone. He looked at sango, kicking her stomach, and elbow.The thing grabbed her neck and squeezed, shutting off the airflow, silencing her screams. The thing punched her in the stomach. The force was unbelevable. Blood filled her throat. His choking hands kept it from being expelled. It slipped down her windpipe. It slugged her again. And again. Sangos eyes fogged over. She slowly began going limp. He relesed. She fell to the ground, violently coughing and gaging as blood spewed from her mouth. Saiyu watched as he walked toward her. She tried in vain to cut him, when she did, he melted back together. Saiyu was punched flat in the chest. She felt her sternum crack, knocking the wind out of her. She slid across the wet stone, almost falling over the edge. Her chest exploded with pain. She stood up. "Damn it! Shindu created you, you turned on him!your not a person, you a machine!" "yes...a perfect, killing, machine..." "you have no emotions at all do you!?" the thing was suddenly reduced to cubes. Sangos claws where bloody. She stood. "im fine...how the hell do we kill him!?" "heh, you cant..." The demon said as he restored himself. Rain poured down on them. A cold wind blew over. "now Saiyu...I think il kill you" he punched at her. She dodged it slicing him in half. He re-formed. "give up you fo-AUGH!" Sango drove her sword threw him. "rr!" blood dripped from his mouth and the woulnd. "but...il kill the anoying halfbreed first!" It punched at her. Sango dodged it. Saiyu jumped in. the three fought none stop for 13 long minutes. Saiyu was weak, but Sango was falling apart. She had broken bones, and her liver and stomach where opulverized. The internal bleeding began to take its toll. The demon dropped down and swept his leg under Sango, causing her too fall back into a puddle. He launched after Saiyu. Saiyu saw the man fly at her, his shape becoming clearer threw the cold driving rain. She fought on. Sango was feeling faint. The blood she coughed up was almost jet black. She stood up. The thing threw Saiyu to the ground. She cryed as her smashed chest was compacted. Sango stood up, disoreinted. She stumbled, trying to stay upright. She felt light headed. Blood flowed from her cuts and gouges. He wet kimono was almost shredded. "rhh...huh?" she said looking a a shadow aproching in the thick hard rain. She felt its foot slam into her stomach. She oddly enogh didn't feel pain. She relaxed. She felt her feet skid across the stone, then the ground slowly dropped away from her. She fell, seemingly like a feather, off the side of the cliff. I-im falling... She felt strange as she fell. She slammed into a rock, snapping her ribs, she rolled threw the dirt, smashing into rocks and trees. She flipped threw the air limply. she rolled and flipped at a increddable speed. She felt her bones break with every new impact. She skidded over rocks, slicing deep into her flesh. im just falling...peacful...quitly falling...She was too delirious to notice. She felt light some how. She flipped off into the air, into a 600 foot straight down drop. She slammed into a large rock with a series of loud cracks. She kept rolling threw the trees, still awake. She slid down the slick wet muddy grass hill to a stop by the side of the house. She couldn't move. Her arms, legs, ribs were all smashed. Her inerdes where crushed. The basement door opened. "Sango?" "Sango!" Kyoji and Amy ran over too her. She was staring up at the rain. Blood leaked from the hundreds of dirty cuts she had. "A-Amy...K-Kyoji... "oh god...Sango?" Amy felt her arms and chest. All her bones where smashed. She pressed her chest. She could feel the bone fragments grind against eachother. blood seeped threw her kimono. Blood flowed from her mouth. "...I-its kind of relaxing...I-I feel weird... like im floating..." Amy held her hand. "S-Sango?" "Sango?" Kyoji felt her cheek. "Sango...how bad does it hurt?" Kyoji asked in a tear choked voice. "I-I don't feel much..." "good..." his eyes wattered up, as did amys. He put his hand on her shoulder. "i...rnnn..." She slowly relaxed. Sangos eyes where open, staring blankly up at the sky. Sango?" Amy asked. She just lay their, the rain sliding down her face. "S-Sango?!" "Sango?!!" "S-Shes dead...Sango is dead..." Kyoji said shocked. He fell back onto the grass. Amy began crying, the sound drowned out by the pouring rain. "S- Sango..." Kyoji held her limp form in his arms, hugging her. He set her down. "G-Goodbye..." He said softly.
Saiyu stumbled up. damn it! "rhh.." "you cant beat me...il just keep coming..." Saiyu had a idea. if I can just...perfect.... "ok!were going for a ride!!" She tackled him and pushed him back and off the cliff. She controlled the roll down the hill so she landed by the cave. She got up and pumbled him back into the chamber he was in. she grabbed the arrow that had held her in and nailed him to the wall. "ha! Stupid girl...all that for a arrow in the chest? Your not to-hey...he I cant get it off-I-" the thing became a imprint in the stone. The wall re-appered, re sealed. Saiyu stumbled down the hill to the house. Kyoji was holding Sango. "Is she ok?" she asked threw the pain. "Saiyu...she...shes dead...Sangos dead." The words hit her like a freight train. "s-shes dead?I cant...wait...yes!" "what?!" they yelled scolding her. She ran into the house and came back out with the blue jem. She ripped Sangos Kimono open. She slit her stomach open. She pushed the blue jem in. Sango jerked. They heard a sick grinding noise as her bones fused back toghether and her flesh healed. She shot up. "HUH!?" She gasped. "Sango!" Kyoji hugged her. "huh? I-whats going on..." she felt her ribs and chest. They where healed. She looked around. "how did I-" "The jem...we healed you with the jem...heh, the ledgends where true..." "What happened to the Demon?" "I sealed it back in the cave." "good..." Kyojis eyes where watery. "c-cuddle?" Everyone fell over. "just playing...glad your back sango..." He huged her. "I-I cant breath!y-you can l-let go now-" Kyoji relesed. "heh...oops, sorry..." He said. He reached up and flicked her left dog ear. "ow..." she twitched it. "do that again and il beat you senseless." "ok...ok..." Amy and Saiyu hugged her. "rhh!" "Saiyu?" "my chest is still really busted up. Give it two days, theres a lot of broken bones..." "its just amazing how fast you demons can heal..." amy said. "Amys right, I mean When shindu last came, Sango here had her liver, right lung, stomach, all her right ribs cut straigh in half...she almost bled to death, but in 8 days, it was all but gone...hey, why don't you get scars?" "I don't know, we just don't." Amy spoke up, "your blood cells must reproduce at a humongus rate of speed, a human would have bled to death in 30 seconds from that woulnd." "what are cells?" she asked curiously. "nevermind."
Later
Sango was perched on the couch rest, as rain poured down outside. Amy was sleeping in a heap with Kyoji. Sango lay down on the couch, and drifted off to sleep. Saiyu was laying up on her bed, asleep quietly. It was raining harder, the wind had been gusting heavly as well. Sango slept softly. She was dreaming of a thunderstorm, she was standing in the middle with her sword. Not for any peticular reson however. A boy walked toward her threw the darkness. Kyoji. She woke up and looked down at him, sleeping like a rock. She lay back down. It was 10:00pm. She got up and walked up to her bedroom, floped down on the bed, and fell asleep. The moon rose high into the sky. Her ears dissapeared. Her eyes turned brown. Amy curled up in her bed, next to Saiyus. Kyoji was groggy. Her wondered half-awaqke up the stairs and fell into bed. Sango was already out like a light. Kyoji curled up next to her. She punched him by reflex. "ow...she wants to beat me even when shes asleep..." he fell asleep, dreaming of food.
Morning
"wow...im not late..." Amy said as she looked at the clock. She took her time getting to school. Kyoji woke up. The bright sun beamed into his eyes. He turned away. "aughh..." He looked at Sango. She was human. He watched her red kimono rise and fall as she breathed softly. He smiled. He put his hand on her shoulder. to think...she was dead... "Kyoji?" Saiyu asked from the door. "Saiyu? What are you doing? You shouldn't be up, demon or not, lay back Down, your ribs arnt healed yet." "im fine..." she waked downstairs. "Saiyu-" Kyoji followed her. She collapsed on the couch. "oww..." "now Stay put..." "k-kyoji...the blue jem we saved sano with...theres a catch, you havve to take it out within24 hours...or she dies." "WHAT?" "you have cut open her stomach and take it out..." "But shes human!" "look, it will hurt her a lot, but I don't have the physical control...I keep colapsing, so you'l half to do it..." "but i..." "go get her, we have mabye one hour..." "oh man..." She walked upstairs. "Sango?" Her brown eyes opened. "come downstairs" "ok..." she walked down to the living room. "ok, now get undressed" "what! You little!" CLUNK "OW! I ment open your upper kimono, so your stomachs showing..." "why?" "Sango, he has to take the blue jem out...or you'l die...he has to cut you open." "what? No! " "But you'l die..." "i...whatever, ok..." "Kyoji, you half to tie her down somehow, shes human so she wont break free." "ok.." He got some rope and tied her down to the couch legs and the door frame. "Im sorry sango..." "I-im not that weak..." "Saiyu are you sure.." "there." She said putting her finger on her belly, right where the ribs stopped. "right there, cut there..." "I don't.." "shel die in 30 minutes if you don't." He went out and got a razor blade. "right there?" "yeah..." "ok Sango ready?" "sure" she said pretending to be calm. don't scream. Don't scream. If you scream they'll know you're a weakling.don't scream. Don't scream she thought as he placed the razor over her stomach. "its not long enogh" Saiyu said. "get a knife. A very very sharp knife." Kyoji went out into the kitched and got a long thin, super sharp fillet knife. "ok..Kyoji, put it there, and just press in until you feel almost no resistance...then cut her open.im sorry sango..." "ok..here we go" He pushed the bladeb lightly down. It sunk into her skin. "rhh-" its not that ba- he jabbed it threw her stomach. "ouh-aughHH!" "Cut her open!now!" he yanked d it down. Sangos head lurched back as she cried. Tears leaked down her cheeks. "ok...reach in and find the jewel." "but I" "the quicker you do it the less pain shel feel! She crying!" "he reached in. he felt his hand being coated by warm blood. He felt around. Sango gasped, screaming. He yanked it out. "aughHH!HH!" she wailed. "ok...now the bandag-" "no...Amy told me about this...her wound will get infected easily, shes a human...get alchohol..." he went and got some. "ok...now Amy said this hurts...but the discriptions of deseses you can get wernt pretty..." "ok.." Kyoji dumped half the bottle onto her cut. Kyoji covered his ears as the loudest, most bloodcurdling scream he had ever heard filled the room. It stopped. Sango had passed out. "ok, seal her up..."
12 Minutes Later
Sango was on the couch holding her stomach. Kyoji was holding her. "im sorry..." "rh-rhh...." Tears leaked down her cheek. "it hurts so much..." "easy..lay down..." Saiyu stood by her. Sango had blood in her mouth. "im sorry..here.." Kyoji helped Sango up the stairs to her room. She lay down on the cool sheets. Kyoji lay down by her.he snuggled next to her. She was in to much pain to resist. "augh-" "im sorry.." he rolled away. He watched her as she fell asleep. Poor girl...I feel horrible...well at least shes not dead...
4 hours later
Amy had gotten home and the group had explained dit to her. It was 9:00PM
"just kidding!just kidding!" "il kill you!" "aughh!help!Saiyu!" CLUNK "ow..." "call me stupid again and il-" "ok...I surrender! Im sorry Sango...your not stupid...im really sorry...cuddle?" CLUNK "ouch!"
That Night
Sango tossed and turned in her sleep. She was in the middle of a dark space, nothing but darkness surrounding her. People all around her where dieing, being tourtured. Saiyu was burning alive. Amy was being eaten alive, and kyoji was being crushed to death. Sango lay curled in a ball surrounded by the cries of everyone she had ever known as they screamed and wailed. It was too much for her. She covered her ears, but the sounds only got louder. Laughter filled the back ground. She heard knashing teeth and the sound of crunching bones. Sango shot up. She was scared almost to death. Tears rolled down her cheeks as the images and noises continued to flash threw her brain. stop!stop it! She was getting even more scared. Kyoji woke up. "sango?" "I-*rhhH!*" she threw herself on kyoji and held onto him like she would be sucked away into a void if she let go. She cried and cried. "help me! H-*rhhH...*" She pressed her face into his chest, weeping. "Sango...whats wrong..." She didn't answer, she was to terrified to listen. shes scared...I'v never seen anyone so terrified...shes holding me so tight... "its ok sango..." He patted her back. The images flashed threw her head. Her friends being eaten alive, the looks on their faces, their screams. Kyoji was standing in flames,his face was twisted, his eyes hissed with steam. "Sango...easy..." he said rubbing her back. "K-kyoji..." "it was just a dream...its ok Sango..." "Kyoji...I-it was horrible..." "are you ok?" "t-the pictures...the souds they wont go away!help me...I-im so scared..." She uried her face in his chest, trembling. Sango... Sango wanted to melt into Kyoji, to run away. The images got worse and worse. She held him tighter, weeping. "its ok..." He held her. She scooted onto his lap, as much as she could, and curled tightly into a ball, like cat would. "Sango..." She was shivering. He held her against his chest, wraping is arms around her. One hand was over her butt, unintentionaly.. "I-I wish I could hide inside you...I-im cold...it wont stop...it wont...those noises...rhh...I-im scared..." "Sango your crying..." A loud thunderbolt shook the air. She tightened up suddenly. "Sango...whats wrong with you...this isnt you..." He finnaly noticed something. Her dog ears wher gone. "your human...but still Sango...what I s this?" He reached back and found a long thin needle in her back. It was gold. "what is this..." Sango sat up. "Kyoji? What am I doing here...and why am I crying..." "this thing I guess..." "oh crap...I remember, I leaned against it...it's a tool used to purify demon souls, locking away all negative things...oh no...what did I do?..." "you cried like a baby and im not kidding...my kimono is soaked...iv been holding you for 2 hours..." "I-I did not!" "you did too..." "I didn't! its impossible!" "you wept and cryed a river, holding me like I was life itself..." "I didn't! no!" "it was sweet..." "I-...whatever!" She rolled over.
Meawhile
Amy was sitting up, awake again. dad...it was today...five years ago...he died...il go visit his grave today... "What you thinking about?" Saiyu said as she sat up. "you look lost in your thoghts..." "today...it was today...five years ago my dad died. Say, Saiyu, would you like to come with me to his grave today? I could use a friends company..." "Sure...what happened to him? Oh, im sorry Amy...if it upsets you you don't have to answer..." "I was walking home from school, I remember it like it was yesterday...it was a hot, beautiful summer day, and I was exited because I got a A on a big test, and couldn't wait to show him..." she said in a sunny voice. "I was so proud of it...I saw him across the street and I ran out into the street...I didn't see the car...I stoped when I did. He ran out and pushed me out of the way...the car hit him...he died saving me..." "Amy...I shouldn't have asked im sorry..." "its ok Saiyu..." "And yes...I will go with you to see his grave..." "Thank you...you the best frend iv ever had..." She said smiling.
Morning
Amy got up and put on her black kimono, just as Saiyu did. It was still dark out. "Amy, you want to get going?" yawn "sure..." They walked out the door. the cool morning breeze felt nice. "So what was your dad like?" "I don't know...nice, I remember a lot of nice things..." "I bet you wish you had a sister or brother..." "nn.." "Amy?" "I-I did...My little brother...he got sick and died...I-I don't want to talk about it..." "im sorry...I know how you feel..." "I know...its weird...he died on my 13th birthday...he was six..." "its really nice out isnt it?" Saiyu said in a attempt to change the subject. "it is..."
10 Minutes Later
Amy walked threw the rows of graved and found her fathers.Amy, set the flowers down.
Meanwhile
Sango was up and about, wandering around. yawn... "Sango, you look like a gargoyle perched on that armrest...a angel of a gargoyle but a gargoyle..." "don't even say that word." "what? Gargoyle?" "Angel...don't say Angel..." "ok, I take it back, your not that nice...far from it..." "Angels arnt nice..." "yes they are, they have halos and"
A type of demon...horrifyly powerful and ruthless. They arnt very comon, its estimated only 7 exist in the world, but their unstoppable...I had a run in with one once." "Cool? What happened?" "forget it..." "ok. Lets watch a movie!"
Saiyu and Amy walked down the street. "it was here..." Amy said stoping. "lets go..." the two walked up the shrine steps. "whats up?!" Kyoji asked from the door. "Kyoji, why are you holding Sangos kimono?" "oh...ha! She took a shower and I nabbed her clothes...heh, shes still up there." "Kyoji! Im gonna tear of your head!" "come down and get them Sango..." "Kyoji...give her her clothes back." Amy said lightly snickering. "I hear that! Stop laughing!" "ooP!"
Later
Kyoji was uncontious. Sango had decked him out cold. "a bit to rough...but he deserved it...Amy?" Saiyu asked. She was sleeping. "weird." "whos weird?" "don't worry sango..." "ohh...Sango, you didn't half to hit me that hard." "you steal my clothes again..." "hey, I was just kidding..." "Kyoji, I should beat you..." "well you already did that...ow...halfbreed, half brain..." "shut up."
Sango was sleeping on the couch. Kyoji was sleeping too, leaned up against her, and amy and saiyu were both asleep in a heap of pillows. Saiyu turned in her sleep. She was in a huge bloody field, surrounded by bodies, the tall grass was on fire, the flames roared upward. Saiyu saw them fighting. The demon brahma and her older sister where fighting. The rest of her family were slaughtered, there blood staining the field. "katsumi no!" she cried as she saw her sister get sliced clean in half in a shower of blood. Brahma stood there, his eyes burning red like the embers that filled the night air, laughing sickly. He began looking around. "I don't sense it...its not here...where is it..." he said looking around. A movement in the grass. Saiyus eyes widened. Her little sister, nami. She had gone missing hours ago. "mommy? Mommy!!" she saw her shredded body. Nami..no...stay hidden...no- Brahma picked her up. "whao are you?!" she said crying. "you a demon...die!!" he threw her into a tree. He shot an arrow into her neck. She fell limp. Dead. Saiyu shot up in a cold sweat. It was dark. It was 1:00AM. "Nami...damn it...I keep having this dream...why? Brahma was looking for the key...the nemisis key, that I wear around my neck...my family is dead for it...and I don't even know what it is..." She looked at the blue crystal shard around her neck. "what could this thing do that's so damn important...my family was murdered for this stupid thing..." "watcha thingin bout?" Amy asked as she woke up. "nothing..." "ok...you've been acting a bit weird latly, and iv seen you crying in your sleep..." "i...its just a nightmare. Iv been having it over and over latley..." "about what?" "my family...being slaughtered its like I have to relive it everynight..." "im sorry..."
The Fuedal Era
Two cloaked figures stood inside a shrine by a lake. The sun set behind a mountain as a cold breeze blew by."this is becoming annoying..." Shindu said, wrapped in a cloak. "which is the reason I sought you out...you see, you have aquired a reputation...for phantom puppetry...you will be payed well..." "what is the task you wish me to preform?" the cloaked figure asked darkly. "I want you too eliminate a group of demons...there is one demon, Saiyu, a huge annoyance, be carfull, but kill her slowly. There is a halfbreed, Sango, she has interfeared with my plans to many times, before I sealed them in the cave. There are two humans, a boy and a girl, they are harmless, but have saved the two demons from bleeding to death many times, and are annoying. Be Carful around the Human girl, avoid getting her furious, she seems to have untapped power...it matters not. Kill them. Kill them all.As for my choice of puppets...the Human boy. Saiyu will not kill him, because he is human, she would mearly try to dissable him...and, the halfbreed seems to have a certain...how shall we say, affection, for the human boy, she couldn't kill him...use him." "very well. I will return withing three days." "good.now go." He walked into the cave and threw the wall.
"OH NO!!!!!" Kyoji wailed in greif. "t-theres no more dounuts!!!there all gone!!" He ran to Sango. "Hold me." She peeled him off. "jees...go bug amy..." Saiyu smiled. Sango stood up. Yawn "Im going for a walk..." Sango walked out the door and began walking up the stone steps to the shrine. what a nice day...its been so peaceful around here...nice, peaceful summer...weve gone too the beach a few times, and just had fun...the last few battles ive been in thogh, iv been hurt real bad... Amy, Kyoji, and Saiyu have saved me a lot...Amy, she still has those nightmares of her fathers death...and Saiyu, Nightmares as well, but they both remain happy...Kyoji...I don't know much about his deep past, his parents, and...and how he got that huge scar...he tries to hide it...I know hes got some very dark secrets...but his light hearted, happy attitude toward everything concels it...one of the reasons I like him... she reached the top. She jumped up, onto the shrine roof and just watched the sun set. I wake up at night, and hes tossing in his sleep, sometimes he cries...he wakes up, and I tell him to shut up and clonk him over the head for it...when I had those terrable nightmares, and woke up crying, he hugged me, made me feel safe somehow...and I hit him over the head...mabye I should ask him whats wrong...but then id look like a softy...oh well...hes always nice to me...but I don't like playing the counseler... She saw him walking up the steps. He jumped up by her. "hi Kyoji" "hey." "Kyoji, iv been meaning to ask...how did you get that scar on your back?" "huh?you mea-" "look, I noticed it over 6 Months ago, how did you get it?" "i..." "Kyoji? Ok, don't talk" Kyoji held her hand. "huh?" hes to nice to me...to soft-what the? He grabbed her wrist. "Kyoji?" "Stand up Sango." "ok..." He looked at her. "now Sango...cross your arms and legs." She did. "ok...the point of this is what?" "heh, you look ridiculous.stupid halfbreed." He said smirking amused. "Kyoji, what are you doing?" "shut up. Heh, you're a freak, ya know that Sango?" "Listen. I think you know how easly I could kill you" She said holding her claws up. "I know. But you just a mutt...you killed your own mother sango, a piece of halfbreed trash..." "listen Kyoji! Anymore and il- " "youl what?" he said smirking. "youl kill me? Then do it dog girl.common you four eared freak. Do it. Murder me. Kill me like you killed your mother..." He shoved her off the roof. She flipped and landed on her feet. He followed her. "well Sango, say something..." he pushed her again. "That's it!" She whipped her sword out and pressed the tip against his shoulder. "Any more and il-" no.no, sloppy girl. Your stab here." He moved dit over his throat. "kill me.don't dissable me.common, kill me.do it! common!you cant can you? You weakling halfbreed moron...you CANT! Your to overcome by your pathetic human emotions...your so weak its funny." He pushed her down onto her back and kicked her gut. "Kyoji?" "ha,did you think I loved you? I gained your unbreakable trust over the period of almost a year...I could never love a halfbreed piece of shit like you...ha.your blind. Shindu offered to pay me quite hansomly for the time I have invested. I played you like a fool, and you followed like an obedient dog, just like you are...I despise you halfbreed...I loath you from the very depths of my being...now, I wont kill you...il leave you, in this cold wind...ha,what a fool..." he said smirking. "il kill you." She whipped her sword out and slashed his arm. He looked at it, rubing the blood between his fingers. "wow.you gave me a paper cut...im going to do much worse..." "try it.." "very well-" a cloud of gas exploded from his robe, surrounding Sango. She coughed. Her vision got blurry and it became hard to breath. "poison gas!!" "Aww...hard to breath? Is the wittle halfbreed overcome?...heh" "Kyoji il-" He unshethed her sword and sliced her arm with it. He slashed her manicly, blood flying everywhere.
4 Minutes Later
Saiyu ran up the steps. "What the hell?" Gas exploded directly in her face as she was inhaling. She fell to her knees, gasping. "Kyoji?...uhn..s- sango? Whats g-going on...uhn-" She couldn't stand up. Kyoji began wildly whipping Sangos sword at saiyu. She dodged very slowly, then stood still. He kept slicing her until she fell gasping. "gas is such a nice toy, very effective on demons...heh...well Saiyu, I expected a much better fight from you...the halfbreed was so easly ovecome by the gas." Sango stood up in her blood stained Kimono. "DIE!" She slammed him into the ground She began choking him. She felt his throat begin to crush. She stopped, shaking. I-I cant do it...weakling!!he betrayed you!!kill him!but...I cant....i just cant... "Your pathetic. You cant even kill me. Love is such a weakness...even to save yourself...how can you possably feel so much affection for me. Your to emotianal sango. Your too human." "Shut up. You may look like kyoji. But the kyoji we knew was a fraud!I have no feeling for you whatsoever now. Now kyoji, belive me...I will kill you..." he smiled as blood seeped between sangos fingers as her claws sliced into his neck. "t-that's it....kill me....murder me..." "You decived me and Amy into beliving you where our dear friend...and you saw an even better opertunity didn't you...a little bonus. A halfbreed demon that was in love with you. Il tell you this, she had never been as happy as she was around you, she never showed any powerful emotions very often before. The character you created tore down that wall, she openly expresed her affection to you, she loved you. And you turn out to be one of shindus henchmen. She isnt crying now kyoji. Shes not crying for one reson. Shes to shocked. She will later on. You didn't break her heart kyoji, your punched your fist into her chest tore it out, and crushed it in front of her. For that. For that I will kill you. Sango may not be able too kill you.but I asure you. I can." Saiyu said angrly. Her eyes shined a brilliant white. "Saiyu..." Sango stumbled away, in pain from the cuts. She sat down by the shrine. it was all a lie...all of it...I fell in love with a lie...but that's impossible...no one can pretend that well... blood pooled around her. She hadent noticed it before. The throbing pain from her liver. "heh...to think he would be the one that finnaly finished me off..." "So, sango...how do you like my latest puppet?" the voiceof shindu asked. "I knew it..." "il relese him now. But first for sango...saiyu, don't you dare move," she was paralized. "a-afreeze wave...damn it..." "Sango...il freeze you too." "now sango, I belive, you are familiar with a spot on your body...its not very big at all...but it is very, very sensitive..." He said, using his sword to pull her pants down. "Shindu don't you even..." "where is it...ah, right here..." he said placing his sword blade on herabdomin. He slid the cold steel up her stomach, to her lower left rib. "its called the sun-spot..." "Shindu you bastard..." she said, not liking this one bit."oh yes. The pain is so intense, people have begged to die...who better to kill you than you're the human you love so much..." He jabbed the dice sized area with his sword. Sango let out the most blood curtling scream she ever heard. "Stop it!!your killing her!" Amy cried. "yes...the pain is said too be 500 times worse than having your stomach exploded from the inside...shes tough, il give the fool that...most would be dead by now.." Sango winced. Sangos eyes widened. She fell limp, her eyes fogged over. "well. I will take my leave of you now, this bores me...and you, thank you for the work, we shall return now" Shindu said re- sheathing his sword. A black cloaked figure dropped from a near by tree. They faded away. Kyoji stumbled foward. "h-how did I get out here? Sango...Saiyu...blood... ...did I miss something?" Saiyu explained everything. Sango was still uncontious.
3 Hours Later
Sango was still in pain, but could talk. "Sango...you ok?" "im fine..." Kyoji poked her ribs her eyes widened as she doubled over, coughing blood. ."Kyoji!don't even bump her there. Not for 2 days! The pain she gets from that area once the skin is broken, or if its jit at the right angle, is the equivelent of 5 times the pain nyou would reseve if you balls where smashed." Kyoji crossed his legs. "Sango...im sorry..." he said blue faced, sheepishly.
