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.
I only got two reviews, but I really wanted to write. I mean REALLY wanted to write.
Oh, I also noticed that people have put me on their author alert. I FEEL SO LOVED!
(Hears a crowd of people cheering.)
Wow, that's more than last time!
This chapter is going to be a little creepy. There's something I added that wasn't part of

The Haunting of Youkai Castle
by Usagi Kurari
Chapter 5:
Murder, most foul, as in the best it is, But this most foul, strange, and unnatural.
-William Shakesphere (Hamlet)
Kagome awoke to the sounds of shouting and arguing. Her vision was still blurry, so she
couldn't see, but she could make out the words.
"Why would you do this Miroku?" she heard Sango shout.
"You think I did this?" she heard Miroku answer. "Why would I do it?"
"I don't know. But you DO have really bizzare thoughts going through that thick head of
yours!"
"How do we know you didn't do it Sango?"
"I was with Kagome the whole time and..." That's when they noticed that Kagome was
waking up. They immediately stopped arguing and went down to help her.
"Kagome are you ok?" Sango asked.
"I'm fine," she answered. "What were you guys fighting about?"
"We were trying to figure out who wrote that on Naraku's portrait." Miroku answered. "I
heard screams, so I went to investigate, and I found you on the ground, the writing on the
painting, and Sango hovering above you, looking like she just seen a ghost."
"I was scared!"
"Can you two please shut up for a second!"
Sango and Miroku stopped.
"Look," she said getting up off the floor. "I don't know who did this, but someone is
obviously trying to scare me. Now, I'm not saying you did it, but I want a confession if
you did."
Neither of the two confessed.
Kagome was getting scared now. "If Sango didn't do it, and Miroku didn't do it, and I'm
pretty sure Kaede didn't do it..."
"Wait," Sango interrupted. "Maybe Kaede did do it. After all, we are test subjects in this
experiment of hers. She could of done it."
Kagome was shocked. "Why would Kaede do that? She's a sweet innocent old lady, who
just wants to help the world, not scare us out of our minds."
"Maybe that's just the image she wants you to see."
"Good point Sango," Miroku said.
"What point?" entered a new voice. It was Kaede. She was coming up the stairs towards
her three test subjects. Miroku, Sango, and Kagome all froze in their places and stared at
Kaede. Had she heard everything that they said?
"Kaede," Kagome said. "Did you hear what we were arguing about?"
"Hai," she answered. "You three are pretty loud. Your voices echoed throughout the
whole castle!" the three of them turned bright red. Kaede turned and looked at the words
on the painting. "I didn't do this." she stated simply and left the three alone.
"See," Kagome said aloud. "I told you she didn't do it! Someone isn't fessing up."
"Kagome, do you still think one of us did it?" Sango asked with surprise.
"I'm not blaming any of you, but you never know."
Miroku and Sango looked very angry. Then suddenly, Sango's face changed expressions.
From anger to fear.
"What if," she began. "What if the castle is haunted after all."
"What do you mean Sango?" Miroku asked, his hand slowly making its way down her
back.
"Get away from my ass, you bastard!" she screamed smacking him, leaving a big red
hand-shaped mark on his left cheek. "Anyway, when Kagome and I first got here, before
you did, we went exploring in the castle. A little before you showed up, we came across a
door. The hallway leading to it smelled like decaying flesh and blood, and as soon as we
came across the door, we heard this ear-piercing scream coming from behind it. It was so
horrible! We fled, and never went there again. However, we have been having some
experiences also, that have convinced me. Like the other night with the moaning, and the
coldness."
"So you think that all that stuff proves this place is haunted?" Miroku asked after Sango
had finished.
"DUH!" both girls screamed in unison.
"Oh," he said a little embarassed. "Well, someone obviously doesn't want us here. If I
were you Kagome, I would leave. After all, you appear to be the target."
"Thanks Miroku," Kagome said sarcastically. "I feel so much better."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
During the day, Sango, Miroku, and Kagome didn't speak a word to each other. Sango
spent most of the day either with Kaede, or in her room painting. Miroku spent time in
the library looking at the old fashioned books that occupied the shelves, and Kagome
spent most of her time in the greenhouse.
Now, while Kagome was in the greenhouse, some strange things happened that
convinced her even more that the castle was indeed, haunted.
Flashback to earlier that day:
Kagome had entered the greenhouse earlier that day. As soon as she entered the room,
she could of swore she could have heard a child laughing. She shook it off, and went over
to the tiger lilies. A few hours later, while looking for a rose that was wasn't wilted, she
found something orange dangling from one of the thorns. It was a piece of orange fabric.
'How that get there? No one in this house was wearing orange, or has come in here since
Kaede showed me.' She suddenly heard the laughing child again. This time, she felt a
chill go up and down her spine. Someone was in here with her! The child kept laughing,
so she followed the sounds. She found herself near the fountain. She turned around and
looked into it. In the reflection, she saw a little girl. She looked around 7 or 8, with
average length dark brown hair, with half of it tied up in a ponytail on the side of her
head. And she was wearing an orange and yellow kimono! Suddenly, the reflection
disappeared, and the water started to turn red. No, it wasn't just red, it was blood! She
wanted to get out, she wanted to run, but she couldn't move, she just kept staring into the
blood. Suddenly she heard a voice.
"Kagome, Kagome are you in here?"
It was Sango. Thank god!
"It's dinner time, come with me."
Kagome looked back, and the water had returned to normal.i
End Flashback
(AN: I thought that was necessary)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That night, Kagome and Sango had exchanged good nights, and had gone straight to bed.
Kagome had been getting a lot of hours of peaceful sleep, which she hadn't have had in a
very long time. Kaede's medication was really working!
The window had been opened, and the wind was flowing in, making the curtains dance
around. Soon, an image appeared, its body making imprints on the curtain. You couldn't
see the body, but you could see that it was a small boy. Soon, the image flew off the
curtain, and towards Kagome's sleeping form. As the boy's transparent image flew
towards the girl, the room started to shake, waking up Kagome. She turned around,
finding the boy. She immediately jumped out of bed and started to run, but the door had
slammed shut.
"Kagome, don't be afraid," the boy said.
"What do you want from me?" she asked, her face growing paler and paler.
"You need to help us."
"What do you need help with?"
"Kagome," was all it said before it disappeared.
"Wait, don't go!" but it was too late, the boy had disappeared. She was still staring at the
place where the boy had vanished, waiting for him to come back. Instead, the room
started to shake again. Vases and glasses started falling off the dressers and crashing to
the floor. She ran to the door to pull it opened, but it was locked. She looked up, to find
out that the images of the woman and the children had gone, and in its place, was a giant
spider. The painting of the giant spider suddenly turned, and looked down at Kagome,
red eyes glowing.
Kagome tried to scream, but no sound could be heard escaping from her throat. As if all
hope had been lost, the room started shaking, and returned to normal. She dropped down
on her bead relieved that it had all stopped.
But then she looked down towards the floor.
Bloody footprints.
Small child-sized bloody footprints.

Like it. R&R pleez.
Oh, by the way, Miroku is supposed to take the part of Luke in the movie. Luke dies in
the movie. Should Miroku die too? Review and tell me what you think.
