The team kept on heading deeper and deeper into the forest.
"Man, it's too dark to see if we're heading in the right direction," Miroku stated. "Can any of you guys see what we're heading into?" asked the monk. They all turned to face Miroku while they walked into the complete darkness that lied ahead. Inuyasha was about to say something when everything turned dark. Sango was the first to notice them heading into it. "WATCH OU-!"Sango stopped her yelling when she didn't hear anything come out of her mouth. Sango tried to reach her boomerang for defense when she couldn't feel anything. She tried to feel her face but it was as if she wasn't even there. Sango froze. She felt wind and wanted to cry out as she thought that she was falling into a bottomless pit. All she could sense was her falling. And no one could hear her when she shouted for help. She was all alone.
"Inuyasha?" asked Miroku. Inuyasha stood there frozen as if he was going to say something but didn't. Soon Inuyasha started disappearing into little pieces. "Ah!" Miroku shouted in disbelief. He tried to grab him and fell to the ground as he disappeared. Miroku was speechless until he turned around and saw Shippo and Kirara tearing into little bits the same way. "Wait! This can't be happening!" Shouted Miroku is desperation as he ran toward Shippo only for him to disappear in front of his face. No! Miroku thought. But it was worse than he feared. He turned to see Sango growing smaller and smaller in the distance. He ran after her shouting her name. "Sango!" "Don't leave me Sango!" he shouted.
Inuyasha looked at Miroku and was about to say something when he didn't sense any living feeling from him. He was standing there frozen, not blinking, breathing, talking, no nothing. This is too strange. He turned around only to find his comrades in the same state. They all were frozen. He turned to look at Sango and she had a face of horror, as if she was distraught. Her mouth was positioned in a way as if she was screaming. He turned back to look at Miroku and he had his eyes wide open and was mouthing something towards Sango. He was in a position of reaching for her as if she was leaving him. This is way too weird. Inuyasha then looked down to see Shippo curled in a ball shivering. Kirara looked at Inuyasha with big sad eyes. "Mew," Kirara said. I don't know what's going on either but I know it has to do with Mariban and us getting closer to his hideout. Inuyasha picked up Shippo by the tail and said "What are you worried about your not hurt." Shippo looked up in disbelief and with teary eyes he jumped on Inuyasha and hugged him. Inuyasha was about to pull him off and tell the little runt to get off but all he did was look at him and knew what he was feeling....He missed her too....
