INUYASHA VERSION OF THE RING

~*~Chapter Three: Reunited; Sadako~*~

~Disclaimer: I do NOT own InuYasha, Miroku (T.T), Sadako (DEFINITELY NOT!), or The Ring! Or any of the other InuYasha characters. NOPE! Well, dang it. . .that makes me feel awful!! A/N: This chapter is a LITTLE bit of a lemon. . . . .nothing detailed!! Do not worry!! Nothing detailed!! LOL Anyways, PLEASE R&R!! ENJOY!! ^^

"Kagome! I've told you this a million times!! IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT THAT THE TAPE YOU GOT OUT WAS CURSED!!" Sango screeched. "I KNOW! I just feel responsible. . ." Kagome sighed. "Well. . .DON'T!!" "HOW CAN I NOT FEEL RESPONSIBLE IF I WAS THE ONE WHO PICKED IT OUT?!" "JUST DON'T FEEL RESPONSIBLE!! UGH!!" Sango sighed in frustration and fell on her bed, pulling a pillow over her face. There was a knock at the door. "Hello? Come in, whoever it is." Sango asked.

"Hello, Sango, Kagome." Miroku walked in. ". . .Hey. . ." Sango sighed. "Well, why is my Sango feeling so glum? Hmm?" Miroku cooed. "Well, you remember what we were talking about on the phone, don't you, Miroku?" Sango said, taking the pillow off her face. "Of course I do." Miroku sat on the bed, wrapping his arms around Sango. Kagome noticed that Sango felt more relaxed in Miroku's embrace. She smiled. 'I wonder where InuYasha is? I haven't seen him for about two weeks. . .' Kagome wondered sadly. "Hey, Sango, I'm gonna go ahead and fix my bed for the night, okay?" "Sure! Sounds great, Kagome-Chan! I'll meet you up in a little bit." Sango chimed. Kagome nodded and walked out the door.

"Miroku-Sama. . .I'm really worried about this tape. . .it says that I have seven days. . .to live. . ." Sango embraced Miroku, crying. "Miroku, I'm not ready to die!! I want to at least live longer to have a family!!" 'That can be arranged. . .nah, better not. . .She'd get really angry with me. . .' Miroku thought. "There, there, Sango-Chan. . .it'll be all right. . ." Miroku returned the embrace to Sango. She looked up at him and faltered a smile. But the smile didn't last too long until it turned back into a frown as she cried. "Sango, I know right now isn't a good time to ask. . .but, do you think I could, uh, well. . .stay the night? I dropped my keys as I got out of my car and it's too dark to see, and my HOUSE keys were in there. . . - " " - Sure, of course you can. It's all right. . .with me." Sango smiled and stood up, opening her arms for another hug. Miroku smiled.

"Hello, Mrs. Ikumi. Would you know where I can find some pillows and blankets?" Kagome asked the old woman as she came down the stairs. "Oh, hello, Kagome. Yes, just go down that hall-way and the first door on your left has pillows and blankets. Just make yourself at home, dear. Oh, and tell that nice man that he's welcome to stay here, too." "Okay, thank you, Mrs. Ikumi." "Mm-hmm." Kagome opened the door and gathered some blankets and pillows for her and Miroku.

Kagome knocked and opened the door. She practically jumped in surprise as she saw Sango and Miroku lying down in the bed, together. (o.O)

::Somewhere. . .::

InuYasha sat down under a tree, sound asleep, with the little kitsune, Shippou, nestled beside him in a pile of grass in the park. InuYasha suddenly awoke. Something was wrong. . .he just knew it. He could SENSE it. He HAD to go see Kagome. He didn't know WHY he didn't follow Kagome when she was going to stay with Sango for the week.

"C'mon, Shippou. Get up. I said, GET UP!!" InuYasha stood up and kicked Shippou. "WHAT, WHAT, WHAT?? WHAT WAS THAT FOR, INUYASHA? Sometimes, you can just be a plain yoro." Shippou cussed. "Don't you DARE call me a yoro, you - you yoro!" InuYasha grabbed Shippou by the scruff of his neck and ran to go find Sango, Kagome, and Miroku.

"Well, can you pick up their scent? Can you, InuYasha?" Shippou asked, anxiously. "NO! AND YOU'VE ALREADY ASKED ME THAT ABOUT TWENTY TIMES IN LESS THAN ONE MINUTE!!" InuYasha growled. "Huh?" InuYasha dropped to the ground and sniffed the grass. "It's Sango's scent!! She must've been here! C'mon, Shippou, you slowpoke!"

::In Sango's Neighborhood::

InuYasha and Shippou finally came into a quiet neighborhood. "Hmm. . .this MUST be where Sango lives. . .I smell her. . .and. . .KAGOME!" InuYasha snatched Shippou and crawled over to a house and hid in the bushes as they heard a door open. Mrs. Ikumi opened the door and set out an empty bottle for milk. "Wha. . ." Shippou mumbled. Mrs. Ikumi walked back inside.

The two walked around to the side of the house and started to climb the ivy that weaved its way up to a window. There was a light coming from it. InuYasha poked his head up and looked in the window. He saw two figures on a bed, but couldn't tell who it was. . .finally, he recognized the two. "Oh, shit!! What the hell are they doing?!?!" InuYasha cussed. "What? What're they doing? I wanna see, InuYasha! Lemme see! Lemme see!!" Shippou whined. "NO! You can't see, Shippou! You're too young." As InuYasha looked closer, he heard a slap and then an "OW-W!"

"Oh, uh-h, hi - hi, Kagome. . .uh, you got those blankets? It - it's pretty cold. . .ehehe. . ." Sango stammered nervously, chewing on her finger nails. She felt pretty awkward to see Kagome seeing Miroku and her in her bed. Miroku stood up abruptly, bright red in the face. "I - I'll be right back. . ." Miroku murmured. Miroku ran out of the room. Kagome gave Sango a sly look. Sango turned her face away so Kagome couldn't see her.

"Sango? Wha - What were YOU and MIROKU doing?? You don't like him, do you?" Kagome questioned, hoping to get the answer she wanted to hear. "Uh-h, nothing, nothing at all. And why would I like that lecher, Miroku?. . .Oh- h, Kagome. IT'S TRUE!! I DO LOVE HIM!!" Sango exclaimed in a hushed voice. She paused. "You know, I haven't seen InuYasha for quite a while. . .what happened, Kagome?" "Well, I really don't know. . ."

InuYasha leaped inside the window, Shippou clinging to his back. "KAGOME!" Kagome turned around. "INUYASHA! Oh, InuYasha. . .I missed you!" "I did, too, Kagome. Oh, and by the way, what the hell were you and Miroku doing, Sango??" Sango didn't reply.

Miroku walked back in the room. "About TIME!" Sango exclaimed. Shippou jumped from InuYasha's back to Miroku's shoulder. "HIYA, MIROKU!" "Uh-h. . .hi." Kirara after hearing all the commotion from the friends being reunited, rose from her bed and walked over to Sango and Miroku. "Kirara! Hiya, girl!" Shippou exclaimed.

"InuYasha. . .we have something to tell you. . ." Miroku suddenly said. InuYasha looked at him with a look on his face. "Oh, you didn't make Kagome PREGNANT, did you?? Because if you did. . ." Miroku seemed shocked, but continued anyway. "No-o. Well, see, Lady Sango and Lady Kagome have watched a cursed video and are going to die in seven days." InuYasha seemed lost in thought after hearing this and stared at the ground, muttering. "Oh, damn. . .damn it all. . ."

Sango decided to let InuYasha sleep with Miroku, and Kagome sleep with her in her bedroom. "Hold on, guys. I'm gonna go to the bathroom for a sec. Okay?" Miroku sighed and nodded.

Sango walked from her bedroom and walked in the bathroom, closing the door shut behind her. As she stepped on the linoleum floor, she stepped in a large puddle of water with her bare feet. "Huh. . .guess Mrs. Ikumi forgot to mop the floor. . ." Sango shrugged and reached for a comb. She brushed her hair and looked in the mirror. She smiled but then frowned. She saw something almost invisible moving behind her. It resembled a little girl with straight black hair that covered her face and was wearing a white gown, as white as the girl's pale face. "What?" Sango turned around. . .but nothing was there. . .'Oh, damn! What's going on??. . .' Sango thought, worried. She ran back to the room, slamming the door shut, and embraced Miroku.

"Miroku, I - I saw something in the bathroom. . .a - a little girl, in the mirror, showed her reflection, but nothing was there!!!"

Miroku was shocked that Sango came in so quickly and was up so close to him like this.

"Sango. . .you. . .obviously have seen Sadako. . .she is the one who calls people and tells them they're going to die in seven days. . .and, well. . ." "Miroku, I don't want to die!!" She sobbed and was held close to Miroku. She relaxed to the sound of his heartbeat.

"Well, at least you didn't see Sadako." Sango muttered. "Sadako? Who is this. . .Sadako?" Kagome questioned. "Well, I was in the bathroom, and in the reflection of the mirror, I saw a little girl in white with straight black hair that covered her face, but, there was no one in the bathroom. . ."

Kagome's face turned glum and pale. "Shit. . .I'll get rid of that damn busu if I have to!!" InuYasha growled. "InuYasha, we don't even know what or who she is!" Miroku blurted. "True. . ." Sango agreed. Miroku pulled her close again as she trembled. "Somehow, just somehow, I'll figure out a way to save you, my dear Sango. . ." Miroku told himself. "I promise."
