Chapter 6

The Inuyasha group was traveling through the woods as fast as they could. They had to go a little slower since Kirara was too injured to fly. During the entire time, Sango could not rest and she couldn't stop thinking of Miroku.

'Houshi-sama, please revert back to normal. I hope Kaede can cure him some how.'

"Hey Sango, hurry up, you're falling behind." Inuyasha said.

Sango looked up and found out that she was behind them. 'I guess my thoughts slowed me down.'

"Sorry, I am coming." Sango replied and ran towards them.

They have been traveling for hours so far. 'Good thing that Kagome's miko powers knocked Houshi-sama out. I wouldn't know what to do if Kagome wasn't here.' Sango thought.

"I can see Kaede's village. We're almost there." Kagome happily said. It was sunset, it took them awhile but they made it. Everyone nodded and ran to where Kaede's house was located. Sango breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Miroku. He was still unconscious on Inuyasha's back.

"HEY, WITHERED MIKO! GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!" Inuyasha shouted. Kagome would have 'sat' him if he didn't have Miroku on his back.

"Inuyasha! Be nice!" Kagome shouted.

"How can I help ye, Inuyasha? Kaede asked as she got out of her house.

"Kaede, Miroku-sama turned into a---." Kagome couldn't say it. She was too depressed and saddened by it.

"Ye, what happened to Miroku?" Kaede asked.

"He turned to a damn insane demon!" Inuyasha shouted angry.

Kaede narrowed her eye and went towards the young hanyou. She looked at what was on his back and gasped. She saw all of his changes and commanded everyone to go into her hut. She grabbed all of her medical items and holy stuff and motioned Inuyasha to place Miroku on the mat. He complied and placed him where Kaede pointed. She then placed Miroku on his stomach. Then she gathered her medical equipment and went to heal Miroku's back wound.

"What happened here?" Kaede asked while cleaning the wound. The group explained their entire journey and battle to the old miko.

"I see. I have heard of such spells before, but only in legends that I read in my books." Kaede explained and finished wrapping Miroku's wounds with bandages. "I thought they were myths but I guess they aren't."

"Is there any way that we can revert him back to normal?" Sango asked.

"Not that I know of, but we are going to research by going to the ancient book place of my friends tomorrow." Kaede said.

"Where's Shippo?" Kagome asked out of the blue.

"He's sleeping his friend's hut right now." Kaede responded. Kagome let out a small "oh."

"I AM STILL INUJRED IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED!" Inuyasha yelled while he placed Miroku's sandals on the ground.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about you. Kagome can you dress his wounds?" Kaede asked.

"Sure no problem. I'll dress mine as well and Kirara's." With that, Inuyasha and Kagome walked out of the hut. Kaede sighed and gave her medical supplies to Sango.

"Are ye hurt Sango?" Kaede asked.

"Not anything grave. I'll bandage myself and I'll be fine by tomorrow."

"Okay, that's good to hear." Kaede said and gathered her holy items. Sango then began bandaging herself, thinking deeply about the whole situation. Kaede then stood up and placed holy charms and stuff outside of the hut near the door.

Sango looked at Miroku's sleeping form. 'He doesn't look as insane when he is awake. Why am I looking at him anyways?!?! BAD SANGO!' Sango blushed deeply and looked up as Kaede reentered the hut.

"I placed charms around the hut that will last until tomorrow. It will keep him in until then." Kaede said.

"Okay and during that time we'll try to find more information about the spell." Sango stated. Kaede nodded in agreement.

"I am tired right now, so I am going to sleep in a spare hut. Tell the others to meet me there." Kaede explained.

"Okay, I'll get them right now." Sango answered and went to find Inuyasha and Kagome. They were sitting just outside of the hut and relaxing with a bandaged Kirara by their side. Sango smiled and said,

"Hey guys!"

"Hey Sango-chan!" "Feh, hi" "Meow"

"We need to meet Kaede at a spare hut right now." Sango explained. They all followed Sango to the spare hut that was right next to her original hut. All three sweat dropped but decided to say nothing.

They went inside the hut and sat next to Kaede.

"Ah, all of ye are here." Kaede stated.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Kagome asked.

"What we are going to do tomorrow." Replied Kaede. Everyone listened intensely in what she was about to say when............................

"KAGOME, YOU'RE BACK!" squealed a happy voice. Everyone looked back to see Shippo jump on Kagome's shoulder and smile.

"Shippo! Glad to see you're okay." Kagome said.

"Shippo was worried about ye and was looking out for you." Kaede replied.

"Thanks Shippo I really appreciate that." Kagome smiled and hugged him. Shippo smiled and hugged her back.

"OKAY ALREADY! WHAT IS THE DUMB PLAN?" Inuyasha shouted.

"Okay, well---." Kaede was cut off when Shippo yelled,

"Why do you need a plan?"

They all sighed and told the young fox demon what happened. "Oh" was all he could say and became silent.

"Anyways, this is the plan." Kaede explained.

"Everyone will need to wake up at sunrise." Everyone agreed to this.

"Then I will go with Sango, Shippo, and Kirara to my friend's place since it has a lot of books. There, we will be researching more about the spell." Everyone nodded, even Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha and Kagome will watch over the hut and make sure that Miroku doesn't brake out." They both said "okay."

"We will return before sundown and I'll place new charms into the hut to keep Miroku in" Kaede said.

"Hopefully, we will find the information we need to cure Miroku." Kaede finished explaining.

"Sounds like a plan." Sango said and prepared to go to sleep. Everyone nodded and also prepared to go to sleep.

"Night everyone." Kagome said and fell asleep. Everyone mumbled night and fell asleep too.

During that night

Sango could not sleep at all. She is having a nightmare that is worse than any one that she had before. She tossed and turned and was breathing heavily.

The Nightmare

It was the final battle against Naraku. Everyone was tired but all of them fought bravely. Inuyasha used a Wound of the Wind that destroyed Naraku's lower body. Kagome shot an arrow that pierced his tainted heart. Sango used her boomerang to cut all of the remaining tentacles. Miroku used his oufdas to stun Naraku's arms and body. With all of their combined powers, they defeated Naraku at last. Kagura and Kanna died with Naraku but were thankful to be freed from his control.

Kohaku then jumped to Sango's arms, crying in happiness to be freed from the demon. "Sango, I can remember now! I'm so sorry though." Kohaku cried. "Shh, it's okay Kohaku I'll always love you." Sango replied.

Inuyasha and Kagome were so happy that they hugged each other fiercely. Both saying "I love you."

Miroku tore off his prayer beads and saw a complete hand that no longer held the void. Shippo danced with Kirara and smiled happily.

However, the complete Shikon Jewel grew blacker and darker with each passing second. Then it lunged straight towards Miroku and dug deeply into his back. Miroku gasped in pain and a dark aura grew around him. He transformed into his dark insane demon side and quickly killed Shippo and Kirara in one attack. He smiled and flew to where Inuyasha and Kagome were hugging. He slashed both of their throats quickly, killing them both. He flew towards Sango and Kohaku and raised his claws.

Sango was unaware that Miroku transformed, so she continued to hug Kohaku. She then felt flood pooling all around her and the ground. She looked at Kohaku and gasped. He was dead; a hole torn right threw his stomach. She looked up to find Miroku with his hands covered in her family and friend's blood. She gasped and tried to run away, but he was too quick for her.

He grabbed her neck with one hand and lifted her into the air. Sango was crying but Miroku seemed completely unfazed by it. Miroku smiled insanely and said,

"Are you afraid of me?"

"Yes................."

"Good." And with that, he squeezed Sango's neck until she died.

End of Nightmare

Sango woke up from the nightmare and looked around. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her friends alive and well. 'It was just a nightmare, stop thinking about it.' Sango went to sleep thinking one thing,

'I hope it was just a nightmare and not a promotion of the future.'

Somewhere in a castle

"So, that houshi now is an insane dark demon that kills anyone that crosses his path and his powers are great?"

A pale girl nodded.

"He can be very useful to my plan and as a minion. He will be stronger than you or my other ones. The houshi will gather the Shikon Shards and kill my enemies, excellent." It said while looking in a mirror.

'All I need to do is add a Shikon shard in his body. Then I will have complete control over him and command him to kill everyone that I hate. Then the exterminator will suffer and watch all of her friends die by the one she loves. Perfect.'

A/N: Hmm, this chapter turned out shorter than I thought. Oh well and review please.
