Note: I do not own InuYasha and crew. Well thanks Ben for the...um...help? I
really do appreciate it. I have some ideas on where to take this story but
I don't know what way to go! I need help AHH! ...this sucks... This chapter is
from Miroku's point of view so keep it in mind please! Oh well now to the
chapter.
The monk was sleeping soundly in his room, deep in...thought. He was in a grand palace with two servant girls attending to his every...want. He finally surfaced from the mass of covers gasping for air. "Now ladies it has been three days! I don't think I can keep this up much longer." The two beautiful ladies looked heartbroken.
"Oh please Miroku! We wish to bear your sons!" With that they clutched on to his arms sobbing hysterically.
"We'll I suppose it's my duty..." With that the girls cheered wildly.
Back in the real world noises started coming from the monk's door. Quietly it creaked opened as a shadow slowly made its way to his bedside.
"Ladies really this is great, just stop licking my face! I mean really stop!" With a jerk Miroku sat up in his bed. To his side he discovered Ki la-la in his lap scratching.
'Damn it, just a dream.' "What's wrong Ki la-la, where's Sango?" Once he wiped the sleep and slober from his eyes he realized something was not right. There was danger in the air, a demon was near.
"InuYasha, Sango, Kagome! Hurry there is something wrong here." Once he got outside he realized Inuyasha and Kagome were already outside staring at the animals fleeing around them.
"Look at them all." Kagome cried as the creatures charged out of the forest region.
"Well we will just have to check it out! Common Miroku lets get going." Inuyasha stooped over indicating for Kagome to climb on his back.
"Wait a minute, where is Sango?" Kagome asked. She ran back into the hut in search of her friend.
InuYasha started to get very angry with this "We have no time for this Kagome! Get back here now!"
Pretty soon Kagome came running back out of the hut. "Guys she isn't there! You don't think she went after the demon alone do you?"
'No, why would she do that? She could be hurt!' Miroku signaled for the others to start running. "Then we have no time to waste she could be in serious trouble!" Flashes of situations rolled through Miroku's mind. Sango could be left for dead, in the control of a demon, or worse another man. She could be dead right now for all he knew. He knew Sango was one of the strongest women he had ever known, but still. Anything could happen and no one was there to protect her, especially him. 'Damn your pride Sango!' was all he could say as they all ran towards the evil aura.
After quite a bit of distance they noticed a great amount of blood starting to appear. "Is this human blood?" Kagome asked quietly expecting the worse answer.
"No, this is all animal blood. Its too strong to sense any human mixed in." Miroku informed her. "Do you smell her Inuyasha?"
"There is a lot of her blood here...close." Inuyasha said sniffing the air.
Miroku took a second and quietly scanned the surrounding area for any sign of her aura. He finally hit the spot/ "She is over that way! Hurry!"
They all followed Miroku as he lead them to Sango and the Demon. Soon they heard her scream fill the air. 'No! Sango! Please don't let us be too late' As he ran into the clearing he saw her spread out on the ground as if she fell from a good height.
Miroku tried to run to her side as the demon hunched over her body. Experience told him that the ape demon was a hypnotic one; he couldn't let him get any closer. The demon turned her head towards him and stared deeply into her eyes. 'No!' Miroku yelled to himself this cannot be happening.
Though Sango was struggling not to let the demon control her she was so weak from battle she did not hold up for long. A piercing scream left her lips as her mind became tapped. Miroku finally reached her and used his staff to wack the demon alongside the head.
This spiraled the demon across the clearing. Inuyasha and Kagome finally caught up with the monk. "Did you get him out?" Inuyaha asked. "No I am afraid he has already gone in" Miroku responded. 'Damn him!' "You two need to defeat the demon. Then maybe the spell can be reversed!" Kagome said. The two just stared at the girl unsure of what to do. "Are you two deaf? Go and fight already! I'll stay with her." With that the two raced after the ape.
Once Inuyaha and Miroku got up they realized that the ape had escaped. "Damn it all!" InuYasha cursed once the realization of the situation set in. "We need to get Sango to safety." Miroku stated picking up Sango in his arms.
"Miroku do you want me to carry her?" Inuyasha asked. He paid the half demon no mind and started back to the hut.
Back at the hut they layed down Sango's body on the closest mat. The effects were starting to show on her body. She was sweating hard and obviously trying not to toss around. Lady Kaede soon entered their hut and looked over the body.
"This is not well." The priestess stated as she started examining the battle scars.
"What exactly is happening Kaede?" Kagome asked "What is happening to Sango?"
Miroku butted in before Kaede could answer. "The demon has looked into Sango's soul. He has put her inside her worst memories all at once. It's your own personal hell. Insanity then goes through the victim and they literally tear themselves apart. You'd be better off dead then having to duffer through this curse."
"How is it you know so much monk?" Inuyasha asked "You seem pretty damn cocky if you ask me."
"It is none of your concern Inuyaha!" Miroku replied angrily. He gripped onto his staff tightly out of frustration.
Kagome was furious "How could you say something at a time like this Inuyasha! We need to do something...anything. It can't be too late, can it?"
"There is something we can do..."
