Chapter 6: Naraku's Effect

Meanwhile, Sango and Miroku have gotten married and has had 1 child, the 7 year old Yukato. They are out on a walk in the forest. Miroku is still the same hentai, as they walk, Miroku's hand some how slips down to Sango's butt. After a few slaps on the face, they continue to walk on. By their side, Yukato, is happily kicking rocks down the pathway. From out of nowhere, a small demon appears, Miroku and Sango have trained Yukato well in the art of fighting, so they are not worried, Miroku just hands Yukato his staff, "There you go, son, you go ahead and take care of it, you should be able to do it alone," Miroku says as he looks back at Sango for her approval, she shakes her head and agrees. Eagerly, Yukato runs up to the demon and swings the staff, easily killing the youkai.

As he starts to walk back to his parents to receive praise, the wind starts to pick up. Miroku, all of a sudden, feels a sharp pain in his right hand, he looks down, and to his shock and surprise, a strange, yet familiar mark has appeared. Sango is very puzzled as she looks at Miroku's expression, she then looks down and sees the vortex forming too. Miroku quickly pulls out some prayer beads that he has been holding on to, and wraps them around his hand. He then remembers that he had two sets of beads, as he pulls out the other set. Then, Miroku looks up at Sango and Sango stares at him, "Yukato....." they say together, as they then look at their son in horror. Yukato then stops and looks at his own hand, on his hand too, a hole starts to form. He doesn't feel pain, but somehow he knows this is not good. Quickly, Sango grabs the beads from Miroku and runs to her son, and wraps his hand in the beads. "Mommy, what is it, what's is this on my hand?" Yukato asks. "Yukato, everything has now changed for you, please understand...." Sango starts to explain, but she starts to cry.

Miroku is behind them, then he falls to his knees and bursts into tears. "Mommy, what's wrong with Daddy?" Yukato asks again, but his mother doesn't answer, she is too busy crying. Finally she stops and looks up at Yukato, "Your father is now.......well.....son, your hand," she says as she takes his right hand, "you must never take these beads off of it, for if you do, something bad will happen. Please listen to my words and obey them." "Okay, mommy." Yukato says quickly. Sango then brings Yukato over to Miroku, bends down and holds them close. "Miroku, it's okay," Sango says as she tries to comfort her husband. "But.......huh...how....is.........it....back..... unless.........huh......Naraku....." Miroku says as he is breathing deep and crying in between each word. As Miroku had said that name, she suddenly realizes, "Huh, it is, Naraku, he is back, but how?! Here, we have to go back to the hut, now!"

She gets up, then pulls her two men up from the ground. They start to walk back to their hut, Yukato is not that upset about this new addition to his hand, but he is a bit worried about his father. Miroku rests his arm over Sango's shoulder as they walk. Yukato, looks back, his parents are watching him, so he runs ahead. He then remembers that he still has his Dad's staff, so he pretends he is his father, and swigs it around. To his surprise, another demon appears, even though this one is a bit bigger than the other, he knows that he can defeat it. He gives a big grunt as he swings the staff as hard as he can, destroying the demon in that blow. "Awesome, I am getting good at this, pretty soon, I'll be as good as my dad!" he says as he proudly stands and praises himself.

As he walks on, so far ahead of his parents, he looks back and cannot see them, he stops. A few feet in front of him, is a familiar demon. His mother and father have told him a lot of stories about demons, but he has heard the most about a hanyou named Inuyasha. "He looks exactly like that Inuyasha demon, lets see, they said he has silver hair, and he does. Wears a red kimono, and he does. Has dog like ears, and he does. They also said he has amber eyes, well, he is backwards, so I can't tell, but if he has everything else, then that must be Inuyasha." he wonders. "Hey, Inuyasha!" he calls out to the demon. Inuyasha hears the small voice and turns around, showing his red, blood shot eyes. He then runs towards the small boy and strikes him, knocking him to ground.

Miroku and Sango are still far behind, but they hear their son's voice. "Huh, Inuyasha, but he is with Kagome?" Sango is confused, but she knows that her son would be able to spot him. Miroku is still in shock, so, wanting to see if Inuyasha is really here, Sango pulls him harder and goes faster. They get to where their son was at, looking at Inuyasha from behind, a few feet away. "Inuyasha, it is you, your really here, but where's Kagome, didn't she come with you?" Sango questions him. Miroku comes back to reality, as he looks up at Inuyasha, Inuyasha then turns, again, showing his red eyes. They see Yukato in his grasp, "Inuyasha, no, what are you doing?!" Sango yells to him. Inuyasha then drops the now, unconscious boy, and goes for Sango. All of a sudden Miroku then stands up, gets in front of Sango, holding out his hands to protect her, "Inuyasha, stop, get ahold of yourself!" he yells. Inuyasha easily knocks the still shocked monk. As Miroku is knocked to the ground, he looks up, Sango is running from Inuyasha, but he is much too fast for her, she then pulls out her Hiraikotsu and starts to fight with him. Inuyasha knocks the huge boomerang away, leaving Sango open for an attack.

As Inuyasha is about to attack Sango, Miroku has no other choice. He reaches down to his hand, with the familiar vortex, and starts to remove his beads. Just then, we hear another voice, "Hey, Inuyasha, Kagome is worried about you," its Shippou, but he is unaware of Inuyasha's form. He stumbles into the opening where Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Yukato are. Inuyasha then hears the small kitsune's voice, and suddenly forgets all about Sango. He then takes off after the small demon, who has no idea what Inuyasha is doing. "Inuyasha, what are you doing, ahh!!" Shippou screams as they run out of sight.

Sango breathes a sigh of relief, "Whew, Shippou, we owe you big time. Miroku are you okay?" she says as she runs to her husband. "Yes, but what about Yukato....." Miroku says in a very worried voice. They both rush over to their son, who is bleeding and still unconscious. Miroku has regained most of reality, so he picks up Yukato and Sango and the two them walk off to their hut.
