Hi hun!! Me again, +InuYashaBishi334+! Sorry for the postage delay!!
~*~Chapter Five: The Betrayal~*~
~Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha except for one volume of the manga.~
". . .We'll meet again soon, InuYasha. . .I promise. . ." Those words continued to ring, over and over and over, in InuYasha's head. He shook his head, trying desperately to be released from those words, but to no prevail. Worst of all, KOUGA said those words! AND, he tried to go and steal Kagome! That yaro. . .
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WOLF!! GOD, HE MAKES ME SO MAD!!" InuYasha howled, causing birds to fly from the trees so quickly. Kagome and I looked over, surprised, at InuYasha, whose face was red from anger. I could've sworn he had steam coming from his ears. . .
"InuYasha. What's the deal, huh? Are you trying to makes us DEAF??" I questioned, still rubbing my ears painfully.
"Feh." Was all he said.
I decided to ignore his ignorance, and walked over to Miroku. As he touched my arm, I gasped in pain. It was still sore from Kohaku's blow. Blood slowly started to rise up once again, but I squeezed it, making it stop. "Why won't it stop?"
Little did we know that Kohaku's weapon had poison on it. . .
Under the hot, blazing sun, I started to feel woozy. I thought it was just from the ridiculous amount of heat, but it was really the poison, and it was slowly starting to kick in. . .
Suddenly, a voice came into my head.
'Kill them. . . .now. . .'
The voice happened to belong to Naraku. Of course.
I raised my hands to my head and fell to my knees, trying to get Naraku's command out of my head. Suddenly, it was like my body was all of a sudden, a kugutsu. No longer did I control it, at least for this little while. I unsheathed my sword, and looked at the tip, sharpening it on a rock. My body suddenly started advancing on unsuspecting Miroku! My arm raised itself, with my sword in hand, and it came dangerously close to his neck. Suddenly, I had my own mind back again, and I stopped just as the sword was close to jabbing him.
Miroku looked at me and saw that I had my sword unsheathed, and it was close to his neck! "Um, Sango, why do you have your sword out?" "Uh, no reason at all! I was just, seeing if there were any nicks on the blade, you know." 'Oh, God. I could've stabbed him! Damn Naraku!' I thought angrily. Miroku nodded and turned back to face InuYasha.
I smacked myself in the face.
"Kill them, Sango!"
'NO! I WON'T!'
"You must do it!"
'NEVER!'
As I opened my eyes, I noticed I was on the ground with a face staring at me, nose-to-nose. "Sango-Chan, are you sure you're feeling all right?" I looked up at Miroku, who had a very worried look on his face. "Well, now that you mention it, no."
Miroku nodded and tapped InuYasha on the shoulder, making gestures towards me, looking back at InuYasha each time.
"Sango-Chan, what's wrong?" Kagome kneeled down beside me.
"Kill Kagome, Sango!" Naraku's voice once more came to my mind.
"NO!! I WON'T!!"
"What're you TALKING about??" A very shocked Kagome asked me.
++++++++
I must've fallen asleep, because when I opened my eyes, I was in a cottage. It was a small cottage, with two windows along with very tacky polka dot curtains. A fire place was built in the middle of the wall, a couch placed in front, and two wooden chairs placed alongside it. There was only one room, which was brightly lit, and a curtain divided the room.
"Ah, ye be awake now." As I looked over to where the voice came, an old woman stirring a pot in the corner, wearing a handkerchief around her head, nodded at me. "There's a young monk outside, doing an exorcism for me, who seemed rather worried about ye. Are ye two close?" I narrowed my eyes. "What makes you say THAT?" "Well, I saw ye folk outside my window, and ye fainted and he be the first to notice, running over to ye, picking ye up in his arms. I just thought you two were close or something. . ." "Oh." I blushed uncontrollably as I saw Miroku's face pop up from behind the window, turning my head away so they couldn't see.
"Are the others in here?" I questioned, craning my head so I could see the old woman better. "Ye mean the man with the white hair and dog ears and that girl with the black hair, wearing that strange outfit? Yes, they be in the back of the house. They should be coming in soon."
Just at those words, Kagome and InuYasha came waltzing in. "SANGO-CHAN! YOU'RE AWAKE! You've been asleep for three hours!!" "Really? Well, it didn't seem that long. . ." I scratched my head.
"There's not much room up here, there not be. But there is plenty of room downstairs, that there be. Ye all can sleep down there, if ye like. . ." (A/N: It's Kenshin talk!) InuYasha nodded and Kagome picked up her belongings, tossing them down the stairs. I didn't notice it before, although that was because the couch was on top of it before the old woman moved it away. ". . .I have a bad feeling about this. . ." I mumbled to myself.
Behind me, a door opened and shut closed.
"Hello, Sango." "Hi, Miroku." Miroku turned to the old woman saying, "I finished the exorcism. Your house is safe now." As he walked down the stairs with me, I muttered, "I can't believe you black-mailed an old lady." "Ehehe. . ."
"EEEE!!!! I THINK I JUST SAW A RAT!!!!" Kagome shrieked, leaping into InuYasha's arms. Looking down at us, the old woman hollered, "Don't worry, hon. They don't bite!" Kagome just felt worse, and worse after feeling more worse when InuYasha dumped her on the cold, musty ground.
::Up where the old woman was. . .::
The old woman walked around the room, flopping down on a chair. She listened closely as a voice came to her ears.
"Good, Mai. They don't expect a thing. . ."
". . .Just doing as ye told me, Lord Naraku. . ."
"Kukuku. . .that's what I like to hear. . ."
The old woman nodded and walked over to where the fire place was. She pulled out a brick, concealing something inside. Mai reached her hand in there and pulled on a rope. She chuckled and ran out from the cottage.
::Back In The Basement::
There was a loud noise and everyone jerked up suddenly. "Look! The walls are moving in!" As we ran up the stairs to open the secret compartment door, InuYasha couldn't lift it up. Mai had moved the couch back over it. "DAMN! She betrayed us! I can't believe that teme!" ". . .This is Naraku's doing. . ." Miroku stated. InuYasha spat. "Of course we know he did, monk! Now tell us, what're we going to do to get out of here?!?!" Miroku sat on the floor, bowing his head. "MIROKU! THIS IS NO TIME TO GIVE UP!! Please do something!" I cried. Before Miroku could even do anything, InuYasha was tired of waiting and unsheathed Tessaiga from its scabbard, transforming into Tetsusaiga. He sliced through the ceiling walls, which were made of wood, and made an opening, big enough for all of us to crawl through.
As Kagome and InuYasha crawled their way up, I pulled Hiraikotsu out, and propped it up to the hole. Miroku thanked me as he ran up it. Nodding, I leaped up, pulling the giant boomerang out before the walls below could crash together.
Sprinting outside, we could see Mai sitting under a tree on a large stone, looking very pleased with herself. She looked as if she was talking to herself, but Naraku was in the branches above. "Well done, Mai. Finally, those fools are gone."
"Think again, Naraku! RRRR, 'WIND SCAR'!!"
Slicing the air in front of Mai and Naraku, Tetsusaiga ripped through it. Before it could envelop Naraku, he leaped away, shielding his face with the baboon pelt. Mai was destroyed by the 'Wind Scar'. "That's for betraying us, teme." InuYasha seemed proud of himself, and sheathed Tessaiga once more.
A rustle in the grass. . .
"I see you've defeated Mai, eh, dogbreath? Well, that old wench was nothing, compared to me. Give me my woman, or prepare for battle."
Kouga stood behind the tree where Mai once was, slicing it in half with his claws. "I'm stronger now, that my Lord, Naraku, gave me three extra shards. Keh." "Damn you, Kouga! I'm ready to fight! Are you ready to lose your life to my Tetsusaiga?" Without saying anything, Kouga was up in InuYasha's face, slashing him on the cheeks. "YARO!" InuYasha leapt at the wolf-demon, but was too slow. "Sango! Get Kagome out of here, and protect her!!"
I looked up at him. Blood trickled down his cheeks as his eyes glowed a luminous red. My eyes widened in horror. InuYasha was turning full demon! "R-Right!" Grabbing Kagome's wrist, I pulled her up the meadowy hill, jumping in the trees, branches slashing at us as we made our way through. My lip bled a little, but I wiped it away.
"Sango-Chan, where are we going?" "I don't know! Somewhere! ANYwhere!"
"Sango, kill Kagome. . .it's the only way to save Kohaku."
Naraku's voice filled my ears. I forced my mind to clear it, but it overpowered me as I slowed to a halt, slashing at Kagome's chest with my sword, pulling my Doku-fun (my gas mask) over my face as I dropped a gas bomb.
The poison had decided to kick in again.
"Sango-Chan! What're you DOING?!" "I-I'm sorry, Kagome-Chan! Naraku's taking over my mind!! It must be from when Kohaku slashed at me! Hunh?"
My mind flashed back to the memory of when Kohaku slashed at me when I killed Naraku's kugutsu.
Kohaku. . .his weapon. . .it had. . .POISON ON IT!!
"Kagome! You must get out of here! Naraku is controlling me!" "H-How?!" "Kohaku's weapon had poison on it! That's how! QUICK! Get out of here NOW!!" I flashed a dangerous look over at Kagome. She was very frightened, but she listened to my advice. "I-I'm so sorry, Sango-Chan!" "It's okay! Just. . .quick!" She leaped down onto the ground, running away from me as my eyes flashed. I began to sweat. But it was no ordinary sweat. PURPLE sweat. . . "POISON!" I wiped away as much poison as I could. I looked at my cut, which was turning a brighter purple. Knowing I would regret this, I took out my sword and slowly started to pinch at my wound, shrieking bloody murder in pain. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" I took out the sword, covered in blood on the tip. Almost immediately, the poison came pouring out. All of it. I sighed heavily before falling, my head hitting the tree trunk as I fell from my spot onto the grassy ground. I heard a short, sudden yelp of pain. Instinctively, I rushed to it.
Panting, I came to the top of the hill, to see three figures. Two standing, facing each other, and the other, curled up on the ground. I stumbled down the hill, coming upon the injured person.
I shook him, only to see blood pouring down from the shoulder, to their wrist. The body was too dusty to comprehend who it was, until I turned him over.
It was Miroku.
"HA! Teaches that monk to get in the way of our fight! Serves him right." Kouga howled. Frowning, I rushed up to him, holding Hiraikotsu up to his throat, causing him to choke. "How dare you. . .how DARE YOU!!. . .I. . .am gonna make you PAY, KOUGA!!" "SANGO! GET OUT OF THE WAY! HE'S MINE!" InuYasha growled. I flashed a glare in his direction. "True. But right now, for what he's done to Miroku-Sama, he's MINE!" I pulled my Doku-fun over my nose and mouth once more, motioning for InuYasha to move back with Miroku, and threw towards Kouga yet another gas bomb.
"CHEATER!" Kouga coughed. I took advantage of this and hit him square on the head with Hiraikotsu. With that, he was knocked out cold.
"SANGO-CHAN!" I whipped my head around to see Kagome running down the hill. "I'm sorry, Kagome-Chan, that I yelled at you, but Naraku was controlling me by the poison that seeped into my bloodstream from. . .Kohaku's weapon. . ." Kagome nodded. "Yeah, I know." I suddenly snapped to my senses and remembered Miroku. "MIROKU! Where's Miroku-Sama?? InuYasha? Is he all right??" I didn't see InuYasha anywhere, the smoke had not subsided yet. A dusty figure appeared in the clouds of dust.
"KAGOME? IS THAT YOU?"
Kagome ran into the dust. "It's me, Inu! Right here! Here I am! Where are you?" "RIGHT HERE! WITH MIROKU!" With that, I ran after Kagome. Kagome's shriek suddenly filled the air. Kouga had awakened from his unconsciousness and leapt on top of InuYasha. "Foolish Tajiya. Wha––What's going ON?!" Wind swirled around and absorbed the dust behind us. I turned my head and saw Miroku on the ground, his Kazaana uncovered, and he was sucking in all the dust. "Get OFF me, wolf!" InuYasha pushed Kouga off him with all his strength, trying to get Kouga sucked into Miroku's 'hell hole'. But Miroku did not, since poison venom wasps spread around us quickly. "Damn!" I heard him mutter as one was sucked in. The venom spread into his bloodstream and he fell into my arms. 'Miroku. . .' I thought anxiously. He didn't move.
Kouga stood up and ran off, with the extra shards he had been given. "Not so fast!" InuYasha sped after him. He swiped with his claws and the three extra shards plopped out into his sweaty palms. "Haha! Thanks, yaro!" InuYasha came speeding towards us before Kouga had time to think and react. Kagome took the shards and stuffed them into her knap-sack.
In the shadows of the forest, someone was watching. . .
