Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters. Remember, if you
sue, you get the the rubber band, the paper clip, and the straw I love so
much. That and a nickel will get you a hot cup of JACK-SQUAT! (Guess what
show that's from and you win a prize!)
Summary: Kagome Higurashi is sent to an ancient castle for a study that could change her life. What she finds can leave her to believe that many bad things happened there, and the battle is still raging.
Guess what? I learned something knew today. I learned that if you update more often, you get more reviews. How about that? And I figured that out all by myself!
Screw the 5+ reviews thing. I'll make it 4. I really want to write.
Thank you to the people who reviewed.
brighteneddarkness- you should really watch the movie. It's not that scary, but it's a classic! Well, here's the next chappy!
Zump!- It came up the stairs CLANG CLANG CLANG, and gave you another chappy. YAY
EJ- Did you really not know where the quote was from, or were you being sarcastic? I hope your brain comes back soon ok?
Kai-Aki Ti- Its official, you are my new bestest buddy. I read some of your other stories, they are awesome! I just finished reading... well, I don't remember, but I remember I cried, and I couldn't review it. Does it ring a bell?
C, I'm loved!
This is just a word of advice: There is a limit of 3 swear words per review ok? In the past, I have gotten reviews with at least 17 or more swear words. I do except flames, but no "You suck, and you can't write for f*ckin beans" kind of things ok? I take the insults as a reason for me to get better in writing, which is good. OK?

The Haunting of Youkai Castle
by Usagi Kurari
"What was that about Miroku?" Kagome asked.
"What was what?" he answered, looking a little confused.
"With the groping thing stupid!"
"Well, I just can't help it if there is a beautiful lady in my presence. It runs in my family."
"Whatever," and Kagome went off to look for Sango, who had ran off after Miroku groped her. She had reached their room, when Sango popped out of nowhere and grabbed Kagome's hand.
"Come on, you've got to see this!" She started running, going through many doors, around many corners, and down many hallways, until she finally reached a door. "Come inside, its so cool!" She seemed excited, so Kagome went in.
It was a room of mirrors. A whole room full of mirrors! It was like a funhouse.
"This is amazing." Kagome exclaimed.
"I know, I just found it." Suddenly, the floor started rotating. Sango and Kagome toppled over by the sudden movement.
"I didn't know such an old house could have technology like this." Sango said.
Kagome was a little puzzled by that, but she didn't really care. This was a great house! Unknown to Kagome, right outside the room, someone was watching, but disappeared as the girls came out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They walked back to their room in complete silence. It was uncomfortable, so Kagome tried to strike up a conversation.
"So Sango, I never got the chance to ask, why are you here?"
"The same reason you're here," she answered. "I have a phobia."
"I know that," Kagome said. "But what kind?"
"Well, I've kind of got two."
"TWO!"
"Well, not exactly. I've got acrophobia, which means I'm afraid of heights, but it really isn't a big case. I just get a little queasy if I'm at a certain height. The other..." and she cut off.
"Well," Kagome said, anxious to know. "What else?"
"I don't know why, but when Miroku groped me just now, I got really scared. I felt the room starting to spin, and a young child screaming inside my head. That's why I ran away."
"You don't know why?"
"No, I've gone to a lot of psychologists, but no one could tell me what was wrong. I heard Dr. Kaede hypnotizes people, maybe she could help me. That was another reason why I signed up for this. She encouraged me to come." Kagome didn't want to ask anymore.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Dinner was where they finally got to know each other a little more. Miroku just got out of college and was looking for work. He had anemophobia, which meant he was afraid of wind, or hurricanes. His father died in a tornado, so he was always afraid after that. Sango was an artist. She didn't mention her fear of people touching her. She thought this was just a secret between her and Kaede, and that Miroku didn't really need to know. After dinner, Kaede called Sango away from Miroku and Kagome, and went to a empty room.
"Sit down," Kaede commanded.
Sango sat.
"I think we should start with the hypnotizing now, while everyone else is busy. That way, we could uncover what happened in your past that makes ye so fragile."
Kaede started the hypnotizing.
(AN: I looked this up and yes, this is one method of hypnotizing people. I tried it on myself once too. Also, this isn't really important, I just felt like putting it in here.)
"Relax your body Sango. Lets start with the head. You feel your head relaxing. Your mind is clearing. Relax. Now relax your face... your jaw...relaxing. Now relax your neck...your shoulders...your arms...your hands...your torso...your hips...your legs...your feet. Now ye are totally relaxed."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Miroku and Kagome were sitting in total silence, but it wasn't uncomfortable silence. Kagome now had some time to think. The house, she got a weird vibe from it. Every time she entered a new room, a chill ran up and down her spine. She always felt like someone was watching her, from some unknown hiding place. Miroku probably felt it too. His eyes showed so much emotion, that she couldn't tell what he was thinking. Maybe he did feel it. Or maybe it was because it was raining outside.
"Sorry Kagome-chan," he said getting up from the chair. "I have to go." Kagome knew he was afraid but she just nodded and said she had to go to her room too. Before they could leave the room, Kaede showed up at the door with a very pale Sango.
"Before you leave, I must give ye the medication. This medication will help ye control your fear. One pill every 12 hours." She handed out the pills, and then sent them off to their rooms.
On the way, Kagome was able to catch up with Sango, who was still very pale.
"Sango-chan, is there something wrong?" she asked. "What Kaede want with you anyway?"
Sango didn't answer. She just went into her room, and slammed the door in Kagome's face. Kagome just sighed and went into her own room, got into her pajamas, and went into bed.
*Dream*
A tall black haired man went up to the tall castle holding his new bride, a beautiful maiden with long straight ebony hair. Behind them followed 3 small children. They were running around playing tag. A small boy with long silver hair and golden eyes was "it" and was chasing a small girl with long dark brown hair tied up into a half ponytail on the side of her head, and an older boy with short black hair tied back. The man opened the door to the newly-finished castle and set his bride down gently on her feet.
"Oh darling," the woman said. "This is so wonderful."
"I know," the man replied. "And its all ours. We will grow old here, raise a large family here, and die here, together. Also, I will be able to work the mill from here because it is nearby, and I could spend more time with the one I love. Now, why don't you get the children settled in their beds, and we could have more time for ourselves." The woman soon left with the children, leaving the man alone. He then left the entrance hall, went down a long hallway, which led to the library, and took out a small leather book. He flipped through the pages, which were full of cross outs, and came to a blank page. He wrote something down, and closed it. He then went to one room at the end of the hall, and closed the door tightly behind them. His evil laugh could be heard echoing throughout the castle.
*End Dream*
Kagome woke up very cold, and went to the bureau to put on a sweater. She was still cold. When she breathed, she could see fog. She just decided to climb back into bed. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep once again.
As the room went into darkness once again, something could be heard breathing in one of the corners of the room. From the shadows stepped a small boy, around 8 or 9 with long hair and wide eyes. That was all that could be seen in the dark. He walked up to Kagome's bed and crawled into bed with her. If you saw this, it looked like he was waking her up.
"Kagome, Kagome." he called out in a soft voice, almost a whisper. She stirred a little, but pretty much ignored it. He went to try again, but he had disappeared.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
SOO, what did ya think? I'm sorry it's a little short, I'm trying to make the chapters longer. I made them a little longer. But, that means there will be more chapters. HEHEHE. Anyway. Pleez Review ok?
