INUYASHA VERSION OF THE RING

~*~Chapter Two: The Tape~*~

~Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha, or the characters in that show, or The Ring, or Block Buster. Man, that sucks! JK Rumiko Takahashi, I'm so glad you made InuYasha!! InuYasha rocks!! YAY! Oh yeah, and I don't own "the tape". (o.O) Enjoy!!~

It was Saturday. (Sango looked up at the clock. 6:00 PM.) Sango had taken out her scrapbook again and reminisced when Kagome took pictures of Miroku and her. She felt a big tear roll down her softly-curved face. It plopped on the page, making a small stain. She looked at the picture once more. "Oh, here's that one picture I loved the most. . .we were all at the park together. . .it was a perfect day. . ."

::Flashback::

Sango, Miroku, Kagome, InuYasha, and Shippou, had all gone to the park together since it was bright outside. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping. . .everything was great. Then, Kagome took out her camera. "Hey, Sango! Miroku! Look up here!" Sango and Miroku looked up, and as Kagome started to take the picture, Miroku wrapped his arms around Sango and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Sango blushed a bright red.

::End of Flashback::

"Oh, Miroku! What have I done??" Sango cried. She ran to her phone and dialed Miroku's phone number. It started to ring.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Miroku!"

"Oh, hi, Sango!"

"Listen, I wanted to apologize for. . .getting angry with you. . ."

"Well, you wouldn't have gotten angry if I hadn't been very "naughty" with
my hand!!"

"Haha! I guess you're right!"

"So. . .whatcha doin'?. . ."

"Hmm, not much. Just getting ready for Kagome to come over. We're going to
watch movies."

"Oh, sounds. . .nice! Yeah. Well, I'm just really sorry for what happened today. That must've been really embarrassing for you. . .as well for me!"

"Aw, that's okay! I really don't mind!"

". . .Y-You. . .don't?"

"Well. . .no."

"Okay. . .heh."

DING-DONG.

"Oh, I better go. Kagome's here. I'm gonna drive us over to the Block
Buster in my new Ferrari and rent a movie. I just LOVE MY NEW CAR!!"

"Cool. Well, I'll see you later, like, sometime on the weekend?"

"Sounds great, Miroku. Ciao!"

"Ciao, Sango-Chan!"

CLICK.

Sango ran down the curving flight of stairs, rushed to the door, and opened it, greeting Kagome with a warm welcome. "You look tired, Sango! What'd you do, run away from Miroku from your bedroom again??" Sango frowned at Kagome's remark and sighed, "You know how long the flight of stairs are!" Sango pointed at the winding stairs leading up to her bedroom. She practically had skipped two steps at a time, almost tripping over herself. "Uh-huh."

Sango hopped in the driver's seat of her Ferrari and unlocked the doors for Kagome. From the corner of her eye, Sango saw Kagome admiring the inside of the vehicle. "Yes, it IS a new car, huh?" Kagome nodded in approval.

::At Block Buster::

"So, this is the movie you want, right, miss?" the worker at the counter said, scanning the ID code on the back of the movie case. Sango nodded. "So, this is what we're getting, Sango-Chan?" Kagome whispered in Sango's ear. Sango nodded. It was her favorite movie in the whole wide world.

It was a film about a Korean boy who goes to visit his old, mute grandmother. It's called, "The Way Home". (This is a real movie; many people probably haven't heard of it; I don't own this movie! It's pretty good, even though the boy is a brat.)

Kagome poked Sango in the back. "Psst! Sango! Sango-Chan! Psst!! Can we get this?" She held up a tape. It was FLCL. "You know, Miroku likes that show," Sango paused. "are you two getting close?" Kagome frowned. Sango laughed, "Okay, okay, we'll get this, too!" Sango paid for the tapes and walked out with Kagome. "Thanks." "You're welcome, Kagome-Chan."

::Back at Home::

"You will love this movie, Kagome-Chan. My father showed it to me when I was a little Tajiya." Sango sighed. Sango put in the DVD disk in her DVD player upstairs in her room. Sango dimmed the lights and she and Kagome flopped down on her bed.

~An Hour-and-a-Half Passes By~

The ending credits showed up on the screen. "You were right, Sango-Chan. That IS a good movie." Sango nodded and opened up the VCR tape of FLCL. It looked blank, but she still put it in the VCR anyway. (Kagome looked up at the clock. 7:00 PM.) "That's strange. . .it looks blank. . ." Sango grumbled. "Oh well. Put it in!"

Sango put in the tape and sat down on her bed. The screen crackled for a few minutes, then went blank for 10 seconds, then something came up on the screen. It was. . .strange. . .many different scenes that weren't remotely close to FLCL. Then it came up to the scene of a woman falling off a cliff. . .a ladder falling from a wall. . .a chair. . .right in the middle of a room. . .an old abandoned well. . .dead horses lying on a beach. . .then the screen finally said, "If you don't want to die. . ." Sango was too scared to see what it said after that and turned off her TV.

"What. . .the HECK. . .was THAT?!" Kagome shrugged. She looked behind her and saw Sango huddled up by the wall. "Sango-Chan, you're not really. . .scared. . .of that film. . .are you?" Kagome seemed pretty scared herself. "I'm. . .gonna call Miroku. . ." Sango whispered, her hand trembling as she reached for the phone. She pressed the speed-dial button for Miroku and it rang.

"Hello?"

"Miroku, it's me. Sango."

"Sango? What are you doing calling me this late?"

"Miroku, I - I'm scared. . ."

"Sango? Sango, what's wrong??"

"Well, you see, we, uh, er, well, Kagome and I went to Block Buster, right? So, I was renting one of my favorite movies and all, and Kagome wanted me to rent FLCL, don't laugh, Miroku. I KNOW you watch that show. Anyways, we put in FLCL, and, well, the TV screen was fuzzy and static was all over the screen, then it went blank, then it showed all these weird scenes, like dead horses lying on a beach!! Then, when it got close to the end, it said, "' If you don't want to die. . .'", but I turned it off!!"

"I don't mean to scare you, Sango-Chan, but. . .at our school, I've heard people talking about some freakish, supernatural tape. . . . .and it says at the end exactly what YOU told ME. . ."

"Oh, God. . ."

"Then, I heard, that one of the students who went there. . .watched it, got
a phone call, then, in a week, they, well, uh. . . . . .died. Sango?
Sango?"

". . .I - I - I better get off, Miroku. . . . ."

"Yeah. . .bye, Sango. . ."

CLICK.

"Oh. . .my. . .gosh. . .Kagome. . .we - we're. . .cursed. . . ."

RING.

"I'll get it. . . . .hello?"

". . . . .Seven days. . .you will die. . . . ."

". . .WHO IS THIS?!"

CLICK.

"Kagome. . ." Sango sighed. "Wha - What? What is it, Sango??" Kagome asked. "You shouldn't have picked out that movie. . .that wasn't FLCL, obviously, but it was some supernatural tape that when you watch it, you. . ." Sango trailed off. ". . .You what?" ". . .Die. . ." Sango whispered. She started to cry and slumped down in her beanbag. She shook as she sobbed, trembling violently. "Sango. . .I - I'm sorry. I - I didn't know. . ." "Of course you didn't know, Kagome. It's not your fault. It's mine." "DON'T SAY THAT! IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT! IT WAS MINE!! I'm the one who shouldn't have picked it out. . ." Kagome sighed.
