Fateful Curse
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of these characters sadly. Lucky Rumiko Takahashi does though. I love you Inuyasha!
Please read and review this story. I will try to update as soon as I can but I will only do that when I get some reviews. At least 5 or 10 reviews for the first chapter, then I will try and post the second chapter. I hope you like reading this story because I enjoyed writing it.
Basically, this story is about Miroku and him struggling with the curse that was put on his family and passed on through the generations. He has to try to conquer his fears and grab hold of the feelings that will take him through an unexpected course of life.

Chapter One- Fears
Miroku's Point of View
::It might consume me whole one of these days. It might consume us all. It might even consume the adventurous travelers who have now become my loyal and trusting friends:: I've been with them so long I consider them my family- almost. There's Lady Kagome, a joyful teenager from the future, who always seems to have a smile on her face that melts anyone's heart. There's Inuyasha, a fierce and proud half-demon, who seems to hide his emotions and thoughts behind a cold shield around his heart, but I don't really blame him too much. There's Shippo, a hungry little kitsune, who loves Kagome like a mother and he tries to protect the ones he loves. Then there's my dearest Sango, a beautiful raven-haired demon slayer, dare I say more.
All five of us sat around the blazing campfire after a long day's work of killing a strong snake demon to get one or two of the shards broken apart from the Shikon no Tama, a sacred and powerful jewel willing to grant a wish for anyone who holds it in their possession. The sun was just starting to set and the sky was brilliantly lit up with the colors of violet, scarlet, pink, and orange. The smell of the 'instant ramen' was heavy in the air. It was surprising that Inuyasha wasn't drooling because of his sensitive nose picking up his favorite meal's scent. Kagome was trying to prepare the meal but Shippo was hanging over her shoulder wanting to dig right into the delicious treat in front of him. Overall everything was normal except for the fact that Sango kept glancing at me, when she thought I wasn't looking, as if I had done something wrong. Actually, I didn't really know what was going on because I was so deep in thought to really notice any of my surroundings.
::I know it's going to happen soon. I feel a stab of pain shooting through my entire arm every once in a while and that can't be a good sign. I don't want to put anyone in danger, especially my friends. They've all protected my life once or twice in battle, and I can't just repay them by taking them all to death with me. We've almost gotten all the jewel shards, but Naraku, that evil psychotic jerk, has some of them. We need to defeat that guy! He's such a bastard! He's put every one of us through hell and he needs to pay for all our suffering! He MUST be defeated!!::
"Hello? Miroku? Are you all right?" Sango asked me, waving her hand in front of my face. None of the words she said seemed to register in my mind.
"Huh? Oh, yeah... I'm fine," I mumbled. "You know, I'm not really that hungry so I think I'm just going to bed now. Goodnight everyone." I got up off the hard ground and walked away from camp to the bark of the tree that was far away from camp but I could still see the fire and the people who surrounded it.
I looked up to the sky, and noticed the bright colors of the sunset were gone. They were replaced by the sparkling diamonds, that were millions of mile away. Every star seemed so bright tonight and they all twinkled with a shiny glow. Everything seemed to have quieted down and all you could hear was the faint sound of the wind as it rustled through the thick, green grass. Even though it was the beginning of August, everything in nature still seemed to bloom with life. A light breeze swept past but I barely felt it.
I sat there against the tree for a long time with many thoughts rummaging through my head. I kept thinking about the future, if I even had one to come. I could die at any second, any minute or anytime at all. Could we defeat Naraku in time and have my family's curse lifted? I'm not ready to leave this world but if I must, I will. I guess we can't really choose our fate.
SNAP!
My thoughts were broken. I tore my gaze from the sky to glance at where that noise come from. There was Sango, standing right in front of me. Her expression on her face was the expression of concern. She sat down right beside me.
"Are you all right Miroku? You've been acting strange lately. I've... I mean... we've all been worried about you. Is there something on your mind?"
"I'm fine. I just need some time to myself."
"Ok, if that's what you want. I just want to help you. Goodnight." Sango tried to get up but I grabbed her wrist before she could and she fell into my lap. I embraced her with a hug and I felt her tense up with surprise. After a few moments of feeling her body against mine, I remembered what I was going to say.
"Thank you for caring," I whispered in her ear.
She relaxed a bit but before she was about to return the hug, I pulled away and released her from my embrace.
"Goodnight Sango." I closed my eyes and leaned against the tree. I heard a few rustles and the grass and I felt the warmth that was beside me moments ago, was now gone.
I opened my eyes and looked up to see Sango's figure walking back to camp. She stopped walking and turned around to face me. Our eyes met at that moment. A faint blush spread across her face. She looked so beautiful. She turned back to walk to camp, a little embarrassed. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep with an image of Sango that burned in my mind.
