The Curse of a Half-Demon
-Chapter 16-
Trapped Inside the Heart

"Sango? You haven't told us about you're past or why you're here? Not even how you came here?" Questioned Kagome.

They were in the living room. Everybody was sitting on the floor. Sango just looked away from Kagome and just looked down at the floor. She didn't want to answer her questions. (_ Sango is wearing her pink kimono and the green cloth.)

"My people were killed...my brother Kohaku escaped somehow and came to me when I was in the middle of training with Kirara. He was near death and with his last words he told me what happen. He said a woman with black hair and red eyes with a fan came and destroyed our village..." explained Sango.

She stopped because she was crying. She didn't want to continue on with her story. Miroku came to her and put his arm around her to give her some comfort. She continued on. (_ That was quick!)

"The woman's name was Kagura...she told my people she was sent by Naraku to destroy the village and the Demon Slayers. Kohaku told me everything...how our village came to defeat and how our father died. He...died in my arms after he told me everything. I buried him and went on to look for Kagura and Naraku. But I heard Kagura was killed by Sesshomaru and that's what lead me to here. I went to find Naraku but that's when he turned into Inuyasha."

Kagome felt sorry for her. She started to think about her dad. The reason he wasn't around was because he died in an accident at the mountains doing some research. (_ They never say anything about her dad in the original story so I'm making this up!)

Sango and Kagome were silent. It was too quiet and the others didn't like it! Kirara tried to rub Sango's arm but she didn't pay attention to her. She was too deep in thought. Kagome was just thinking about her dad.

"Oy...I would like it rather be a little noisey then that! It's way too quite!" Said Inuyasha.

"I agree!" Said Miroku.

Still nothing. They were both still silent.

"Arrgh! Forget it! Forget about them! They're both thinking in space! I understand Sango but not Kagome," said Inuyasha.

"I wonder what is wrong with Kagome!" Said Shippo.

Still nothing. But in the walls of the living room were 2 demons. No one wasn't paying attention. They just flew past them and went inside Kagome's and Sango's chest.

Kagome and Sango fell to the floor and past out. Have they fallen asleep? Inuyasha and Miroku went to check on them. They were asleep. But why?

"What happend to them!?" Said Shippo.

"I have no idea!" Said Miroku.

"Inuyasha! Do something!"

"Me!? What am I suppose to do!?" Asked Inuyasha.

"Kiss Kagome like Sleeping Beauty!"

Inuyasha banged Shippo's head with his fist. "There's no way I'm going to do that! And besides, she's not the Sleeping Beauty! Something just went inside of their bodies!"

*~*~

Sango was giving Kagome a light smack to wake her up. It worked and she began to wake up. Kagome put her hand on her head because of the headache she got.

"What happened? And, where are we?" Asked Kagome.

"I don't know what happened. But I do know where we are. We are inside our hearts. I guess our hearts were somehow combined into one and we came into one place. Demons could only do this kind of stuff," answerd Sango.

"Why in our hearts? Does the demons want to show us something in here?"

"Probably something of how we feel deep inside about others."

They were in a pitch black area. But they could only see each other in there. But then some images came in there. About Miroku....(_ Now that's a scary thought for me!)

"Ah Sango? Is that Miroku? You always leave Miroku at the bottom of your heart? So you really like him after all!" Said Kagome.

"Ah, no! That's not true!" Said Sango. She kept blushing when she keeps seeing the images of Miroku. Every time they show it, it makes her blush even more. It kept showing it and she couldn't take it anymore. "All right! I do like him! He's cute, he's funny but a real PERVERT!!"

"Hee-hee! I knew it!"

But then images of Inuyasha appeared in front of their eyes. Sango was wondering why.

"Well? Do you LOVE Inuyasha? He is at the bottom of your heart after all!" Said Sango.

"Ok...I admit! I am IN LOVE with Inuyasha! I...want him to be in love with me! But don't worry! I'll tell him when the end of two months is up!" Said Kagome.

They both laughed at each other and at themselves about their true feelings. But they stopped because they heard evil laughes.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" Commanded Sango.

Two demons came out of the darkness and showed themselves. Both of them was an ugly green demon with brown hair on top of their heads.

*~*~

Miroku, Inuyasha and Shippo are just starring at the two girls that fainted on the floor. (_ What are they? Perverts? Don't tell me Inuyasha and Shippo are being like Miroku.) They were wondering when they are going to wake up. Probably in awhile.

"Are we just going to stand here and watch them until they wake up?" Asked Shippo.

"Yes! I want to ask Sango something when she wakes up!" Said Miroku.

"What? To have sex with you!?" Asked Inuyasha.

"No! It's something else!"

Is he going to ask her to marry him? Or to ask the question Inuyasha asked him? Miroku just continued to stare at Sango.

*~*~

"We are the Shadow Demon Brothers! We're the ones that put you into sleep and make you come into your own hearts," said brother1.

"We show the hearts of you two!" Said brother2.

They were showing the images of their fears. Sango's fear was her dying and Miroku dying with her. How she was beat to death by Naraku and so was Miroku.

Kagome's fear was about all of her friends getting killed by Naraku and her family of being killed by Naraku too. They were screaming and covering their eyes of not to see. But they couldn't. They kept seeing the blood of the ones they love, spilling all over the place.

"INUYASHA!!!!!" Screamed Kagome.

"MIROKU!!! SHIPPO!!!! HELP USSSSSSS!!!!!" Screamed Sango.

*~*~

Inuyasha thought he just heard something. He thought he heard Kagome's scream somewhere but how can that be? She has fainted. But he also heard Sango's scream. She was screaming out Miroku's name. Why would she be screaming for Miroku?

"Is something wrong, Inuyasha?" Asked Shippo.

"I thought I heard screams!" Answered Inuyasha.

"Whose?" Asked Miroku.

"Kagome and Sango! I don't know why!"

He continued to listen. They were saying something like "help us" and "save us from the demons!" He couldn't take it anymore and just listened to them. After he heard what they were both saying, he told Miroku and Shippo.

"What should we do then?" Asked Miroku.

"I don't know!" Answered Inuyasha.

"Maybe we can call out their names!" Suggested Shippo.

They both looked at him. "Why?" Asked Miroku.

"Maybe if they here our voices, they can fight back the fear and get out of there! We might give them enough strength for them to fight back!"

"I agree! Let's do it! Sango! It's me, Miroku! You can do it. Fight back the whatever you're fighting!!"

"[This is stupid!]" Said Inuyasha. But he did it anyway. "Kagome! Don't be a weak human and just die like that! Get your butt up and fight back!!"

"You can do it guys!!" Said Shippo.

*~*~

Sango and Kagome were still screaming. The demon brothers were trying to hurt them by the images. But they stopped screaming. They were hearing the guy's voices.

"Go Sango go!" Said Miroku.

"What are you waiting for!? Get your butt up!" Said Inuyasha.

"Come on and fight those demons! We all don't want you to die!!" Said Shippo.

They looked at each and smiled. They got up and face the demon brothers. They were shock on how Kagome and Sango wasn't scared anymore.

"Why aren't you scared!? You should be screaming in pain!" Said brother2.

"Yeah!" Said brother1.

Somehow, they got their weapons. Sango had her black fighting clothes on. And Kagome got her arrow and faced it at them.

"The reason we're not scared because those images haven't happened yet!" Said Sango.

"We're not going to be scared by just a couple of images that haven't happened yet! We may be scared at first, but it went away when we heard their voices," said Kagome.

They prepared their weapons. (_ The truth is, those demons are weak! So this battle won't take long!)

"You take the one on the right! I'll take the one on the left!" Said Sango.

"Got it!" Said Kagome.

"Hiraikotsu!!" She threw her boomerang and got rid of her target.

Kagome got 2 arrows and aimed it at her target. She shot it and hit it! The demon brothers have disappeared. (_ Wow! That was REALLY quick!)

*~*~

"I'm getting tired of yelling out to them!" Said Inuyasha.

"I'm not! Come on Sango!! I love you!!!" Said Miroku.

Inuyasha and Shippo just stared at him. Did he actually just said that? Miroku noticed them staring at them and was very puzzled.

"What?" Asked Miroku.

"Did you just said what I think you said!?" Said Shippo.

"Yeah! I did say 'I love you' to Sango!" Said Miroku.

"[Maybe I should say that to Kagome.]" Said Inuyasha. He was about to say the same thing. But it was too late. She already woke up. But he doesn't know that...hee-hee! "Kagome! I-"

"Sit boy!" Said Kagome. He hit the floor flat on his face. Her and Sango sat up. Sango just looked at Miroku with a strange look.

"Did you just actually said that to me?" Asked Sango.

"Uh...yes! But don't hurt me! I thought I was going to lose you so I just said it!!" Answered Miroku.

He was begging for Sango not to hurt him. Like smack him or punch him or hit him in the head with her big boomerang. She just smiled and didn't do anything.

"I'm not going to hurt you!" Said Sango.

"[Phew! That was close!]" Said Miroku.

He was sitting on the floor feeling relieved Sango didn't hit him this time. Sango was just smiling at him and just blushed.

Kagome was just waiting for Inuyasha to sit up. She had her arms crossed and still was waiting for him. Shippo was just watching her. Finally, Inuyasha sat up!

"What did you do that for!?" Asked Inuyasha.

"You were yelling to much! So I had to do something to shut you up!" Answered Kagome.

"By saying that 's' word!?"

"Yup! But don't worry about it! I didn't mean to do that." She smiled at him and noticed something. "Inuyasha! Your bangs are messed up! Let me fix them!!"

"I'll fix my OWN bangs!" (_ What the heck is he doing!? She's only trying to get close to him!)

Inuyasha moved his bangs around for awhile. When he was done, Kagome just stared. The bangs weren't right again. She sat a little closer in front of him.

"Your bangs are still messed up! Let me help!" Said Kagome. She moved his bangs the way she likes them. They way they were before she fainted. To show his golden eyes and his cute face. Cute!? Did she actually thought of that!? (_ Or maybe I'm thinking of that! Hee-hee!)

When she was done, she leaned in forward to give him a kiss on his right cheek. Inuyasha was shocked and surprised and he couldn't move. Did the woman he loved that he almost killed is kissing him on his right cheek? He's in love with her but he wanted to know if she's in love with him.

He just kept looking at her and her lips were still on his right cheek.

Miroku, Sango and Shippo were staring at them. After a few seconds, her lips went away from Inuyasha's right cheek. But Inuyasha didn't want that, he liked the warmness on her lips that touched his face.

Kagome stood up and grabbed Sango out of the room to go upstairs. She kept dragging her until she got into her room. When they got to Kagome's room, she locked the door so no one would interfere.

"What was that about?" Asked Sango. "You just leaned in and kissed him on the cheek! You must really love him!"

"Yeah...I really do!" Answered Kagome. She used both of her hands to cover her face. Also to cover her face from blushing a lot.

*~*~

"You're lucky Inuyasha! You got kissed by Kagome! I wanted to get kissed by Sango!" Said Miroku. He was looking at the ceiling wondering why Inuyasha always gets the good stuff and he doesn't.

"I can't believe it either, Miroku! She just leaned in and kissed my cheek. But I don't mind if she did it again! I actually liked it," said Inuyasha.

"So you're in love with her?" Asked Shippo.

"Ah....Kirara! Can you get over here!" Commanded Inuyasha. We all know he's trying to change the subject. Kirara ran to Inuyasha and jumped to lay on his lap. He began to pet her. "Y-Yeah! I....love her!!"

"OOOOOOOOOOOO!! *Singing* ~Someone is in love! And the person in love is our Cursed Inuyasha!~" Said Miroku and Shippo.

That annoyed Inuyasha very much. He accidently grabbed Kirara's tail and squeezed it real hard. He didn't notice that he was hurting her.

"Will you two shut up! You guys are bad at SINGING!!!!!!!" Shouted Inuyasha.

"MEOW!!" Cried Kirara. She scratched Inuyasha's face and ran off upstairs to go to Sango.

Inuyasha kept covering his wound from Kirara. If Kagome comes down, he would want her to put a bandage on it.

While Miroku and Shippo were still singing.

"~Inuyasha should go and make a move! Before she says the word 'sit' to him!!! Inuyasha! Go and tell Kagome you're in love with HER!!!!!!!!!!!~"

"SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shouted Inuyasha.
