Chapter 7
I awoke beside the stream. I felt lightheaded, and my thoughts were fuzzy. I tried to get up but quickly fell back down because of the terrible pain. I hurt everywhere, and my body was extremely stiff.
I slowly pulled myself into a sitting position. Pain shot through my upper body. Looking down I saw a jagged gash running across my stomach and chest, and then everything that had happened came back to me. I was overwhelmed by guilt. Hot tears streamed down my cheeks.
For hours I sat there thinking about all of the suffering that I had caused. I had lost the only true friends that I had left. And it had all been because of Naraku's influence on me. I wished that Sango had really killed me, instead of just wounding me. It would have made everything so much simpler. Besides there was no reason for horrible life like mine to continue.
If at that time I had the strength to kill myself I'm sure that I would have, but I was hurt to badly. I also realized that all of my memories that I had tried for so long to uncover had came back. That must mean that Naraku's hold on me was gone.
I came out of my trance when I heard someone walking toward me. I looked up and saw that it was Sango.
I was surprised to see that instead of having a vengeful expression on her face, she actually looked sympathetic. She stopped about eight yards away from me. " Katsu?" She asked questioningly. I immediately knew what she was asking.
" I have all of my memories back." I said. " That means Naraku doesn't have control over me anymore."
She looked a bit confused at this but nodded, came closer, and sat down. " Why are you here Sango?" I asked. " Why after all I have done to you?"
" You know the answer to that Katsu. What you did wasn't your fault. Just like it isn't Kohaku's that he killed all of our family and friends. All of us realized that, even Kagome, who by the way is going to be okay. The only reason I had to injure you like I did was because you were out of control."
I nodded, feeling a little bit better. " But I still don't understand why you came Sango."
" I came because we all need to know the truth. I need to know what happened in your life that connected you with Naraku."
" Okay." I said." I suppose that's the least I can do. Before I begin my story I need to explain something about my ancestry. My mother told me this when I was fifteen. I have demon blood in me, just like Inuyasha except where he is half demon, I'm only about one tenth demon. So I don't really have the preternatural strength or fighting ability. But I do have a longer life then most people, which is why I still look young even though I'm sixty years old."
" Three years after I found this out, Naraku came to our village. At this time he was not very powerful. Being a shape shifter he disguised himself as a human from our village for a long time. I heard later that he was probably hiding from an old monk that he fought. But about three years after I learned about my demon blood, Naraku somehow found out about my secret."
" He saw that he could use me and tried to take over my mind, but I still had all of my memories. As long as humans have hope they an fight their way out of anything. So because I still had my memories I was able to fight his influence and win the battle."
" After that Naraku disappeared and I gradually forgot about him. It was during that time that I Kanule. We fell in love and were married when I was twenty. A year later I woke up in the night to find that the entire village was burning. The villagers that were not killed by the flames were slaughtered by a horde of demons led by none other then Naraku."
" He made sure that I was not killed, but he some type of spell on me that made me completely paralyzed. So I had to watch as my family, my husband, and my friends were killed. That was Naraku's revenge against me for disobeying him."
" Naraku then took me to his castle, and for the next three years I was guinea pig for his experiments. I resisted them all until he found a way to erase all of my memories, then I had nothing to fight for. And that is how he could control me. That's why I knew that he wasn't controlling me when you came."
" I did Naraku's bidding for thirty years. A year ago he let me go free, since he didn't have any use for me. Except he didn't give me my memories back. It was shortly after that when I met you. I suppose that when Naraku found out he saw a was he could use me." My eyes filled with tears again. " I'm sorry, I have betrayed you. And even though it was not my fault you will never be able to trust me again."
Sango stood up. " There is one way you could redeem yourself." I looked at her, surprised. " Take us to Naraku." She said.
