The Haunting of Youkai Castle
by Usagi Kurari
Chapter 8
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sometimes you find yourself in such an unbelievable situation,
that you just want to pinch your arm, and snap out of fantasy.
Sometimes you see things you wish you hadn't seen,
and you try to erase the memories.
Sometimes you wish you hadn't done something,
and you try to reverse time, and do all again.
But sometimes, you just can't change what has already occured
and the fun begins...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sango and Miroku were in the den, sitting by the lit fireplace that night. They were worried about
Kagome. When they had entered the castle, she had run off, and they hadn't seen her since.
*FLASHBACK*
Sango and Miroku had lost Kagome a while back, and they still couldn't find her. They were
running around the woods, calling her name, but so far, no one had answered the calls. Suddenly,
they came across Kagome. She was walking towards them, with a scared look in her eyes,
"Guys, lets get out of here!" and she started to run back the way they came.
*END FLASHBACK*
Raindrops started to fall, and make a pitter patter sound on the castle windows. They started off
soft, but soon started to fall faster, and heavier. The once beautiful day, had become dark and
depressing in a matter of minutes. Soon, a lightning bolt shot through the sky, illuminating the
dark and dreary castle, soon followed by a loud boom. Thunder. A storm was coming closer.
Sango moved closer to the blazing fire, along with Miroku, who was shivering, and sweating at
the same time. He showed an emotion in his eyes that Sango had never seen before.
Fear.
"Miroku, are you okay?"
"Remember what my phobia was?"
"Oh yea."
Silence once more.
"Miroku, I have a question."
"Yea."
"Why are you afraid of storms?"
"My dad was killed by a tornado."
"I'm sorry."
Silence again.
Sango got lost in thought. 'He just opened up to me. Like it was no big deal. Does he trust me
that much?'
"Sango,"
She snapped out of her thoughts. "Yeah?"
"Remember when we first arrived here, and I groped you?"
"What about it?"
"Well, when I did it, you tried to put on an angry face, but I could see in your eyes, a look of fear.
What did I do that scared you?"
"I don't want to say anything."
Miroku started to inch his way over to Sango. She saw what he was doing, and allowed him to
keep on going. As soon as he got right next to her, he took her shoulders, and pushed them into
his chest, holding her very close.
"You don't have to say anything now Sango, but remember, you can tell me anything."
Soon, all that could be heard was the crackling of the fire. Sango felt so safe in Miroku's arms. It
felt so right, so natural. She wanted to tell him, she wanted to be honest with the one who made
her feel at peace.
"It happened when I was 8 years old."
"What happened?"
"I was raped."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She needed to get out of here. She wanted to run all the way down the mountain, and back to
civilization. Maybe Totosai could take her? No, he was already long gone, and he wouldn't be
back until the morning. What's a girl to do?
When Kagome had entered the castle, she had run to the front door, only to find out that it was
locked. She wanted to get out of here, she wanted to escape. She wanted to...
Umph!
Kagome had accidentally bumped into Kaede.
"Kagome, what's wrong?"
"Nothing doctor. I'm just..." 'Come on Kagome, think of something quick. "...just going to the
greenhouse."
"I'll join you then."
'Phew, close call.'
They had walked to the greenhouse in silence, Kagome kept wanting to turn back, but she knew
that she would just upset Kaede more. They finally opened the greenhouse doors, and stepped
inside. For a while, they just stood there at the front, staring into space.
"Why do you come here Kagome?" Kaede asked.
"I don't know really," she replied. "I feel uncomfortable in here that Rin and her mother died in
here, but for some reason, the flowers just put me into relaxation. I kind of forget that people died
in here."
Kagome spoke too soon, she looked up, and at the top of the greenhouse, there hung a woman,
with a rope around her neck, attached to the roof.
Kikyo.
