Disclaimer: The lawyers came to my house this morning. They knocked me
unconscious, and told me to come to their side, that together, we could
destroy anyone who thought they could own Inuyasha, and the Haunting. I
said no, and they inserted a bug into my belly button. Then I woke up.
Anyway, I obviously don't own Inuyasha, or the Haunting, so lawyers can't
do anything to me! HAHAHAHA!

Me-who I might add, reviewed 3 times!
Wow, I can't believe all of the new people who came and read the story. I feel so happy, I'm dancing inside! This is the most reviews I got for a chapter since like the third chapter! But sorry for the people who were waiting for the update. I know it took a while for it. I just got a little sidetracked. (Aka. Writers block nd second chapter of my secret window story) I promise that I wont take this long to update again!
OK, I had no idea where I was going at this point, so I'm just gonna forget about the Haunting, and add my own ideas. The pressure is driving me insane!
Ok, that's enough of that, here's this chapter.
Enjoy!

The Haunting Of Youkai Castle
by Usagi Kurari
Chapter 16
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sango, what are you doing?" Kagome asked the frightened girl.
"What does it look like? I'm leaving!"
"Why are you leaving? You know you can't."
"Oh yeah Kagome," Sango said, looking up at her friend. "Who's going to stop me? Kaede? She can barely walk, yet stop me. I can leave if I want to, and I'm leaving now!"
"But Totosai..."
"Who? Oh, you mean that old loony man?"
Kagome looked up at Sango and gave her the creepiest stare she ever saw. It sent chills up and down Sango's spine. "Totosai said that no one can leave. No one would hear us if we called for help." Her tone was soft and cold.
Kagome wasn't being herself.
Forgetting about what she was doing, Sango placed down the shirt she was folding, and looked up at her friend. "Kagome, are you alright?"
"I can't leave. I want to, but I can't."
"What do you mean?"
"The children."
'Here we go again' Sango thought to herself.
"Sango, you might not believe this, but remember when I told you about Kikyo?"
Sango remembered that conversation perfectly. "Yeah."
"I think I might be her reincarnation."
Sango had the sudden urge to laugh, but held it in for Kagome's sake. "Don't tell me you actually believe in that stuff?"
"Well, we are in a house with ghosts and a one of them is evil and is out to get me, you and Miroku."
She did have a good point. Suddenly, Kagome got up, and started to walk to her room.
"Where are you going?" Sango asked.
"I want to show you something," Kagome answered back, and walked briskly into her room. When she came back, she had three big books in her hands. Three very big, very old books. She went over to Sango's bed, and dropped them onto the mattress. She then opened up the one on top, and opened to a picture.
It was the one of Inuyasha.
"Awww, he's so cute," Sango exclaimed. "But what's with the ears?"
"Let me show you his father," and she turned to the picture of Kikyo's first husband.
"Oh, that explains a whole lot. The guy looks like some person out of a fairytale, or a japanese myth."
"I know. Now, I'm going to show you a picture of Kikyo, and you have to tell me whatever comes to your mind about her okay?"
"What are you talking about?" Then Sango's eyes caught a sight of the picture of the Kikyo.
"Oh my god, she looks like you Kagome!"
"And that is why I think she I am her reincarnation."
Sango then looked at Kagome, and a look of pure amusement spread across her face. "You know, she can just be an ancestor. You don't have to be her reincarnation."
"I can be both!"
"God Kagome, your getting so into this!" Then Sango remembered what she was doing. "Oh yeah, I remember now, I was leaving." She placed the rest of her clothes in the suitcase, closed it, and walked towards the door. "Bye Kagome." she said, and she went out the door. Kagome followed Sango's retreating figure out the door, and watched her disappear down the hallway.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Miroku was sitting on his bed, reading a magazine, when Sango came barging in, with a suitcase in her hand.
"Hey Sango," he said cheerfully. Then he realized that she looked tired and out of breath. The smile on his face disappeared as worry grew up inside him for the woman standing in front of him. "Is something wrong?"
"I'm leaving," she said bluntly.
"You can't leave now," Miroku said, standing up, placing his magazine on the bed. "Totosai said.."
"I know, Kagome told me the same thing, but I can't stay here anymore. I'm leaving, and you are coming with me."
Miroku practically tripped over his own two feet walking towards her. "What? Are you nuts? I can't leave!"
"Why not?"
"Its..."
"Yes?"
"It's raining."
"Oh give it a rest would you? It's just rain." Then Sango remembered why Miroku was here in the first place.
His father had died in a tornado.
"I'm sorry Miroku. I guess I kind of forgot," Sango said apologetically.
"Don't worry about it. I'll come if you want me to,"
"You mean it?"
"Yeah, but I want to check up on Kagome and say good-bye before I leave."
"Sure, I'll wait here for you okay?"
"Okay, I'll be right back," and Miroku walked briskly out the door. As soon as Miroku had left, Sango sat down on his bed, looking around, waiting for Miroku to come back. After about 2 minutes, she started to feel really cold. She pretty much ignored the feeling, but pulled her jacket tightly around her. As the seconds ticked by, it got colder and colder, and Sango just kept bundling herself up tighter and tighter. The rain pounded down of the windows.
Pitter Patter
Pitter Patter.
Sango was becoming very uncomfortable, and just wanted to get out. Leaving her suitcase behind, she ran towards the door, but only having it to close on her, and locking itself. She pulled at the handle, but it didn't budge. She tried to unlock it as well, but every time she was able to turn it, it seemed to lock itself again. She finally gave up, and turned around, placing her back straight against the wall.
That's when she saw a boy standing behind her.
Sango started become very cold again. She soon started to shiver, and every time she breathed, she could see her own breath. She was very scared. She turned around and started to pull at the handle again, but once again, it didn't budge. As she pulled, the boy came closer and closer. Soon, she collapsed on the floor, and started to cry. She had never been so scared in her life. Not since...
Since that time when she was 8, when she was raped.
The memories haunted her now.
She started to cry out for her father, and her brother, who had barely escaped with his life.
Her brother.
Strangely, this boy reminded her of her brother so much.
Kohaku.
Then she realized the strange boy had gotten down on his knees, and was centimeters away from her face. She could feel her lips becoming frozen, and her breath was almost smoke. All of a sudden, he went even closer, and disappeared completely. Sango thought it was over, when her body started to move on its own. She felt her self walk down the hall towards Kagome's room, where she saw Miroku having an in depth conversation with Kagome.
"Hi Sango," Kagome called out, recognizing her friend. Then her face changed from happy, to concern.
"What's wrong Sango? You look really pale."
Sango tried to say something to Kagome, but her lips weren't moving. 'Kagome,' she wanted to say. 'There's something wrong. My body won't move, I can't speak. Kagome, Miroku, listen to me!'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome had watched Sango come down the hall. Kagome had waved to her, but something was terribly wrong with her. She didn't seem like herself. For one thing, she wasn't actually walking, she was more like stumbling like a zombie of some sort. As she got closer, she noticed Sango was really pale, and her lips, and her cheeks were a deep purple. She also had deep circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept in days.
"Sango, what's wrong?" Kagome asked.
Sango didn't answer her, she just walked, or more stumbled, past them, and kept going down the hallway. Kagome and Miroku looked at each other, and went after Sango.
Sango kept leading down many hallways, corridors, and through many doors. How Sango knew where she was going, was unknown to Miroku and Kagome, but they trusted in her, and continued to follow her.
She finally stopped in front of a dead end. Miroku and Kagome were about to turn back, when Sango placed her hand on the wall, and revealing a door. Going inside, they found a small concealed bedroom. Compared to the other rooms in the castle, it was very plain. Everything in it was white. The bed sheets, the walls, everything was white, all except for a lonely mirror standing on the dresser. It was a rounded mirror that had a blue frame, and it was standing on a glass stand. Sango didn't stop, she went right over to the mirror. She picked it up, handed it to Kagome, and collapsed.
