Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up, I had a hell of a lot of trouble trying to figure out what I was going to put in this chapter. After all, I kind of zipped through this story, skipping a hell of a lot of things in the movie, and now I think the only thing pretty much left is the hair tying itself, the staircase in the greenhouse breaking, and Miroku's death.

Speaking of Miroku's death, here are some things regarding Miroku's death (if it comes of course)

1. I'm not killing him becuz he's a pervert (that's actually why I like him). I may kill him because in the movie, Luke dies when he's in a fireplace, and a lion statue thingy comes swinging down and knocks his head off, and of course, Miroku is kind of "playing" Luke.

2. I got a review that suggested that Miroku come back as a spirit if he dies. If he dies, I might bring him back, but it won't be obvious (hey, its Inuyasha after all. It's like a soap opera, where the people come back to life, and twins have different fathers.)Anything is possible!!!

I think that's it.

Here's the story.

The Haunting of Youkai Castle

Chapter 11

Dying for only finding the truth Everlasting darkness consumes you And the one you loved before Takes your head Hell awaits your arrival

After Sango and Miroku left, Kagome had spent the next hour trying to get the door in the fireplace open. She just had to get it open, to show that she wasn't going crazy. Many blisters later, she finally gave up, and went over to her bed, flopping down on her back.

'How come nobody believes me?' she thought to herself. 'Sango was there with me when we heard the moaning and the scream, and Miroku thinks... no not thinks... KNOWS that Naraku was a monster who killed his children. Why do people think I'm going crazy?'

After screaming at herself for a good 10 minutes, she shot up, and said out loud, "I have to figure out a way to get them to believe me, and to save the children...*yawn*... but I'll do it tomorrow." and she quickly fell asleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hello Kikyo,"

The voice made Kikyo's skin crawl, and made her hand stop turning the pages, and just turn around. Naraku was standing right behind her.

"Hello darling," he said calmly to the frightened woman. She suddenly jumped up, and grabbed a candle off the wall, holding it towards Naraku.

"Stay back you monster!" she cried. "I know what you did to my children, and all those others that worked for you."

"So you know do you? Well, sadly to say, no one should ever know about this. I told you not to come here Kikyo, I can't have you out in the world telling everybody." and he started to inch closer and closer to the trembling woman. When he got close enough, Kikyo threw the candle at her husband, grabbed Shippo, and darted out the door, running as fast as her legs can carry her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Around midnight, Kagome woke up to the sound of thunder. Opening her eyes, she looked out the window, seeing trees scraping against the window, and lightning flashing across the dark night sky. Kagome tried to go back to sleep, but the noise outside made it impossible. Suddenly, the window sprang open, letting rain, and a fierce wind come pouring into the room. Kagome ran out of bed, and immediately shut it. She started to go back, but felt a strong chill in the air. She went over to her bureau, and got out a heavy sweatshirt. Realizing she wasn't sleepy, she took her brush, went over to the vanity, and started to brush her hair.

Not long after, a chill started to run up and down Kagome's spine. She just shook it off, and continued to brush her hair.

After brushing her hair, she put down the brush, and stared into the mirror. Staring at her reflection, she noticed that she was paler than usual. 'Probably from the lack of sun.' While gazing at her reflection alone, she failed to notice the figures forming behind her. Though they appeared to be transparent, one took the shape of a small boy, maybe 2 years old, and another took the shape of a tall boy with short hair tied back into a ponytail

Still not noticing the two boys behind her, they took the chance, and each grabbed a piece of her hair. Kagome felt the tug, flattened out her hair, and picked up the brush again. As soon as she put it down again, she felt once again, her hair being played with. A puzzled expression crossed her face, but she flattened out her hair, and brushed it out. Suddenly, her hair started to twist, and it was soon in a low ponytail. She scrambled up, untwisted her hair, and ran over to her bed.

She soon noticed that the album was open on her bed. She reached for it, and looked at the picture. It was a single picture of a door. Kagome never really noticed the picture there before. Why was it there now?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After the whole incident with Kagome, Sango and Miroku had gone to find Kaede. Throughout their whole stay there, Kaede would always go off to some unknown place, and leave the three alone to deal with any situation that came their way.

Anyway, Sango and Miroku had been looking for her ever since they left Kagome in her room. They needed advice on what to do with the hysterical girl.

"Lets search in the kitchen," Miroku suggested. "That's where she usually is."

"Alright," Sango answered, and they headed towards the kitchen.

When they pushed open the kitchen door, they found the room deserted.

"I guess she's not here," Miroku said.

"Yeah, lets..." and then Sango spotted something black on the table.

"What is it Sango?" Miroku asked.

"What's that on the table?"

"I don't know, why don't we go over and see what it is." When they got closer, they saw that it was a small black tape recorder. 'I wonder if its Kaede's?' Sango thought.

"So, why don't we listen to it?" Miroku suggested.

"No way, it's an invasion of this person's privacy."

"What's your point?"

"DON'T LISTEN TO IT DUMBASS!"

"Well... I'm listening to it anyway," Miroku said ignoring Sango. Without warning, Miroku placed his hand on Sango's butt, causing her to turn around and slap him. However, missing her target, Miroku used the opportunity and picked up the tape recorder, and ran as fast as his legs could carry him out the door.

"Get back here you perverted hentai!" Sango called after him, but he just kept running and running. Finally, Sango caught up with him. She jumped him, and slapped him hard.

"Phew.." Sango said. "I feel much better. Thanks Miroku."

Miroku didn't answer, he was unconscious. Sango picked up the tape recorder, and fingered it for a while, deciding if she should listen to it. Finally, Miroku woke up, and pushed the play button for her.

"Hey why did you..." but the tape recorder was playing.

'I took Kagome to the greenhouse today, but soon after, fled, being found unconscious later. Even since the picture incident, she has become paranoid, and the others are noticing the changes in her behavior as well. I will be conducting more trial and error experiments on the girl for the remainder of the study...' but they heard no more.

"Oh, poor Kagome," Sango said.

"How could Kaede treat her like that?"Miroku said in shock. "Well, at least we know why Kaede hasn't made a big deal out of all of Kagome's condition."

"Kaede just thinks of her as an experiment, not a human being."

Then an awkward silence.

"Should we tell Kagome about this?" Miroku asked suddenly.

"No, she's already having a rough time as it is."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As Kagome was trying to get to sleep later that night, voices kept calling for her, from the castle's depths. She tried to ignore the cries for help, but they just kept getting louder and louder.

"Help us Kagome, Help us!" Then a loud ear shattering scream was heard, and it rung in Kagome's ears, forcing her to get up.

"I'm coming," she called to the voices. "Don't worry, I'm coming," and she set off following the voices.
