Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
Chapter 7
It was exactly sunrise when Sango woke up. Groggily, she stood up and went to where Kagome was sleeping. She gently woke up Kagome and told her to wake up the others. Kagome complied and went to wake up Kaede.
Sango sighed as she strapped Hiraikotsu on her back. She looked at Miroku's staff that was next to Kagome's backpack and frowned. 'We have to find the cure to Houshi-sama's curse. If we don't, he will never revert back to normal.'
"Sango, are ye ready to go?" Kaede asked with Shippo on her shoulder and with her bow and arrows. Kirara jumped on Sango's shoulder as Inuyasha and Kagome walked out the door.
"Yes, I am ready. Let's go!" Sango shouted and went outside. Kaede and Shippo followed her and waited for Kirara to transform. Kirara transformed and Sango, Shippo, and Kaede hopped on its back. Then they took off into the sky. Inuyasha and Kagome were already protecting the hut that Miroku was in and waved goodbye to the group.
They waved back and concentrated to go to Kaede's friend's place. "Kaede, what direction is your friend's house at?" Sango asked.
"To the northeast, we'll fly in that direction until we see a village with a large stream next to it. We will land in that town, and walk to a huge building that has all of the books. My friend would be there and he will allow us to bring any books back with us." Kaede explained.
"How long would it take to get there?" asked a curious Shippo.
"The rate we are going, about 1 hour." Kaede replied.
"Okay, did you hear that Kirara?" Sango asked. Kirara nodded its head and sped up towards that direction.
Back to Inuyasha and Kagome
"GAH, THIS IS SO ARRVIGATING!" Inuyasha shouted. "HE"S NOT EVEN DOING ANYTHING!"
"Inuyasha, SIT!" Kagome shouted. "Do you want to fight Miroku-sama like that?"
Inuyasha said nothing to that and sat back up and said, "He's still sleeping."
"Yeah, but poor Sango-chan. She is doing everything she can to revert him back to normal, but it isn't working." Kagome said sadly.
"Yeah, I hope they come back soon. This is starting to irritate me." Inuyasha mumbled.
"Inuyasha, SIT!" Kagome shouted.
Back to Kaede and the rest
After an hour of traveling, they made it to the village without trouble. After finding the large building, they knocked on the front door. The building itself was about two stories high but it was very plain looking. The door opened and an average sized man with gray hair stepped outside.
"How can I help you?" the man asked. Kaede then stood in front of the group and said,
"Do you remember me, Malin?
The old man's eyes lit up. "Is that you Kaede-san?"
"Yes, it has been 10 years now since we last saw each other. How are you doing?" Kaede asked.
"I'm doing fine, but why are you here?"
"I need to find information about the curse that turns humans into demons."
Malin's face darkened, "Why do you need that information?"
"One of my friends got turned into an insane demon by the spell." Kaede replied.
Malin's face showed sympathy, "I am sorry to hear that. Come in, I have a couple of books that might help you." They all then followed Malin into the house and shut the door. The library was large and the inside was beautifully decorated with paintings.
"It's beautiful." Sango breathed.
"Thanks, now let me find the book. It is not in my regular book place because I thought that the information was not to be seen by others. Follow me. " With that, Malin went to a wall that was behind all of the book shelves. The others followed him when Shippo said,
"There is only a wall here!"
Sango told him to hush while Malin pushed the wall that revealed a secret passage. Malin went down and the others followed him. They finally came to the bottom and there were only about 20 books that were stacked on shelves. Malin got two books from a shelf and handed one to Kaede and one to Sango.
"Those are the only books I have about the curse." Malin said. "I hope you find what you need in them. You can take them back with you."
"Thanks a lot Malin-sama." Sango said.
"Yes, thank you old friend." Kaede nodded.
"No problem." Malin stated and everyone went back up the stairs. Malin closed the door and led Kaede and the others back outside.
"Good luck and I hope you can cure him." Malin said and closed the door.
"What a nice guy, when did you meet him Kaede-sama?" Sango asked.
"Back when I was training to be a priestess, but that is not important right now. We must return to Miroku and the rest."
"Okay, Kirara!" Sango shouted and Kirara transformed. Everyone hopped on and Kirara took off back to Kaede's village.
'Don't worry Houshi-sama, we're coming'
Back To Inuyasha and Kagome
Inuyasha and Kagome were just sitting quietly waiting for Sango and the rest to come back. Kagome yawned and said,
"It's almost noon and he hasn't woken up yet."
"Keh, he probably is dead then."
"INUYASHA, SIT!"
BAM!
"Oi wench, I was joking. How is he though?"
"I don't know, but let's find out."
Both people went to the door and peered inside. Miroku was still in the same position sleeping. Both of them sighed and went back to guarding the door. Inuyasha suddenly tensed and stood up. He grabbed Tetsusaiga and looked around. Kagome stood up too and grabbed her bow and arrows.
"Inuyasha, I feel an evil presence coming towards us. It has three jewel shards."
"I know Naraku or one of his offspring is coming towards us. His disgusting scent is always easy to tell."
"It can be a golem, since it only has three shards."
"Yeah, but get ready and be careful. Make sure Naraku doesn't get to Miroku."
They both nodded and prepared for the worst.
Back to Kaede
They were flying through the sky while Kaede and Sango were reading the two books that they acquired. The books were not that long they each were only a few pages long. Kaede sighed as she read hers and said,
"This book is not helpful. It only describes who can use the spell and what it does."
Sango nodded while reading hers. Her book only had one page of information, but it was very helpful. "Kaede-sama, this book is really helpful, I'll read it to you."
"Thou that has the curse on him can not be cured by magic or spells"
"He shall become stronger with each passing day"
"He will be more insane as he stays in that state."
"His only goal would be to become stronger and to kill people. He'll have no other will."
"His powers will become stronger and stronger until he dies or thy world is destroyed by him." "Thou will never be able to tell from friend or foe."
"Thy only way to revert him to normal is with true light and emotions that darkness can not grasp."
"Well, that is all in this book. But it gave us plenty of information." Sango replied. Kaede nodded and said,
"I think I know what the book is trying to tell us."
"Really? What?"
"Well, Miroku can not be cured my any magic or spells. He will be stronger with each day goes by. He'll become more insane as he stays in that state............."
Sango nodded with tears building in her eyes. Shippo could smell the tears but decided not to say anything.
Kaede continued to explain, "He will live only to be stronger and to kill others. He won't stop becoming stronger until the world ends. Lastly, he can not tell his friends from his enemies."
Sango had tears rolling down her cheeks, but she hastily rubbed them off. "What about the last sentence, "Thy only way to revert him to normal is with true light and emotions that darkness can not grasp?"
Kaede sighed and replied, "Unfortunately, that is the only verse that I can't understand."
"Well, at least we know what is going to happen to Miroku." Shippo stated.
Kirara growled suddenly though. Kaede narrowed her eye as she felt an evil presence at the same direction they were going. Shippo smelled a familiar scent that he hates. Sango looked worried and told Kirara to go faster. Kirara complied and went faster.
Everyone said the same thing at the same time, "Naraku."
To Inuyasha and Kagome
They both tensed as Naraku, Kagura, and a horde of demons came down a few feet away from them. Inuyasha could tell that was just a puppet Naraku and told Kagome. She nodded and got an arrow ready.
"Inuyasha, the fake Naraku has three jewel shards in his hand." Kagome said.
Inuyasha nodded and shouted, "What do you want? The jewel shards that we have?"
"No, I don't want your shards. I came here for the monk." Naraku yelled back.
Kagome looked puzzled. 'Why would he want Miroku-sama? Unless he knows about the transformation!'
"Why would you want him for?" Inuyasha yelled.
Naraku smirked, "I know about his little transformation. He will prove to be a helpful minion."
"YOU BASTARD! YOU"LL HAVE TO GET THROUGH ME FIRST!" Inuyasha shouted and used the Wound of the Wind.
Naraku, Kagura, and a few demons escaped but the rest of the demons were killed by the attack. The weaker demons went towards Kagome while Kagura battled with Inuyasha. Naraku flew towards the hut in hopes to command Miroku as a minion. Unfortunately for him, he ran into the barrier that was around the hut.
"COME BACK HERE NARAKU!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Watch who you're fighting with! Dance of the Blades!" Kagura shouted. A few wind blades were shot at Inuyasha from Kagura's fan. Inuyasha blocked them with Tetsusaiga and used a Wound of the Wind on her. Kagura jumped out of the way and attacked Kagome with her Dance of the Blades. Inuyasha saw what happened and jumped to where Kagome was standing. He blocked the attack on time and killed all of the demons that Kagome was battling.
"Kagome, can you shoot an arrow at her while I use my Tetsusaiga on her?"
Kagome nodded and fired an arrow while Inuyasha jumped high above Kagura. The arrow missed her and prepared to use Dragon's Dance. Inuyasha already saw what was happening and used a Wound of the Wind from the air. The attack hit Kagura and burned her back. Kagura jumped out of the way and escaped on her feather and she flew to the opposite direction that Kirara was going.
Naraku was able to tear off the holy charms after burning his hand against them. He ran inside and saw the changes of Miroku. 'Perfect, a minion that is strong and will do everything I say.' Before he had the chance to take Miroku, Inuyasha and Kagome burst in and ready to attack.
"Humph, you can not stop me from taking the monk." Naraku then had tentacles grow from the bottom of his baboon pelt. Some of the tentacles then shot towards Inuyasha and Kagome.
'Damn, I can't use my Wound of the Wind because Miroku is too close to him.' Inuyasha thought.
'I have to use my arrow, but what if I miss?' Kagome thought. 'I have to try or Miroku-sama will be taken.' With that, Kagome shot an arrow at Naraku's forehead. There was a blinding light, but his head was still on and he continued to attack. The tentacles all went straight to towards Kagome at a fast speed.
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha shouted and grabbed Kagome and jumped out of the way. However, one of the tentacles was able to take Kagome's bow and break it in half.
'Crap.' Inuyasha thought and told Kagome to stay behind him while defending against the never-ending tentacles.
"It seems that you can't save your little friend here. I'll take him then." Naraku said. He then used one of his tentacles and wrapped it around Miroku's waist. Naraku brought Miroku back to him and smiled evilly. "Goodbye pathetic fools."
Just then, Sango and the rest crashed in through the door. Kaede and Shippo went to Inuyasha and Kagome while Kirara and Sango prepared to attack.
"You will not take him without going through me first." Sango said and began to run with Kirara near her side.
"Fools!" Naraku shouted and used his tentacles to attack Sango and Kirara.
"Kaede, Shippo, protect Kagome, I need to help out Sango." Inuyasha said and ran to where Sango was battling.
"Sango, get Miroku from him. I'll let you kill him this time. Kirara and I will take care of the tentacles." Inuyasha said and killed a tentacle. Sango nodded and ran towards Naraku with her Hiraikotsu ready. Before she could attack him, Naraku raised Miroku in front of him as a kind of shield.
"If you attack me, I'll use the houshi as a shield instead." Naraku smirked. Sango kept running and jumped over Naraku and used her boomerang to cut him in half. All of the tentacles stopped moving but Naraku's upper half was still moving. Naraku glared at her and grabbed the tentacle that held onto Miroku and flew through the ceiling with the tentacle in his free hand.
"Don't worry, you'll be seeing Miroku real soon, as a puppet under my control!" Naraku shouted and disappeared into the night sky.
Sango fell to her knees with tears streaming down her face, 'I failed you Houshi-sama, and it is all my fault.'
