Chapter 13:
Sango was sitting on the ground, crying, with Hojo right in front of her. She heard footsteps coming towards her and figured it was Kagome. She turned to tell Kagome what happened but she didn't see Kagome. Standing next to her was Sondri.
"Sondri?" Sango asked standing up. "What a shame" Sondri said looking at Hojo, "A friend of yours?" she asked sango. Sango nodded, refusing to look at Hojo again. Sondri Tsk Tsked. "Some people don't know what's good for them, following the same path I did" she looked at Sango, "You don't think someone…scared him, do you?"
Sango looked at her, "You…you did this to him didn't you?" Sango became angry when Sondri didn't answer. "Didn't you!?!" she yelled. "Oh please, Sango. After all your investigations, you should know that the only way I can get pleasure out of my pain, is to bring pain to others pleasure." she gave a deadly smile.
"Sango" Sondri said in a sing-song voice, "You shouldn't be wasting time, how do you know if you friends are safe?" she said sarcastically. Sango gasped. She had forgotten that Kagome and Miroku were still there.
"Sondri," Sango said taking a hesitant step toward her, "I know what happened. I know it wasn't fair. I'm going to help you find peace in all of this. But I cant if you keep distracting me with my friends. Please leave them alone, let me help you. I need you to trust me"
Sondri face softened, "You really want to help me?". Sango smiled "Of course, so please let me help you" Sondri looked down, then disappeared. Sango starred at where Sondri had left before turning and walking to the room.
She turned the corner and came face to face with Sondri who grabbed her and threw her against the wall. "You are just like the others! You don't want to help me! You cant!" she threw sango against the wall again. Sango put her hands on Sondri's shoulders and pushed her away.
Sango took off running to the room, hoping that Kagome and Miokru were ok.
Kagome stopped walking and faced Miroku "I have no idea where I'm going!" she said frustrated. "Well, I don't hear sango anymore, so either she's ok…or….." miroku said. Kagome shuddered at the thought.
They started walking again and turned a corner. She almost hit head on with a door that was wide open. She pushed the door shut and glanced at the room number. It was 313. "Didn't we just leave here?" Kagome asked.
"I think something wants us to come back" miroku said walking to the room. They both stepped inside to have the door immediately slammed behind them. "Not again.." kagome said.
They sat in silence expecting the worse when nothing happened. "Maybe it was a false alarm" Kagome said walking to the door. She jerked it and it opened. "Yep" she said walking out. But when she got out the door slammed again, locking Miroku inside.
"Miroku?" Kagome called, trying to open the door but this time it was stuck. She could hear Mirokuyelling inside. Kagome tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge. She heard someone running toward her. She turned to the side to see Sango.
"Sango! Miroku's trapped inside. Something's going on" she informed sango. Sango checked behind her to see if Sondri was still chasing her but didn't see anyone. She knew Sondri could become invisible but right now she didn't care.
Sango ran to the door and tried to open it but even with the two girls pulling on it, it wouldn't open. They could hear Miroku yelling and things being thrown around and breaking. "I need to get in there to undo the spell!" Sango said to Kagome.
Kagome thought for a minute, "The girls bathroom!" she said. "What?" Sango asked. "There's a vent that comes unattached in the girls bathroom, it has to lead to this room. And you know how big the vents are, you could fit.
Sango wasted no time, she ran to the girls bathroom and looked for the vent. She found it above the sinks. She climbed up the sinks and opened the vent. She peered inside before pulling herself in it.
Sango climbed through the vent, looking down through the vents, trying to find the right room. She heard ayell that sounded like Miroku's so she knew she was close. She came up to a vent and looked inside. She saw Miroku being attacked by Sondri. Sondri had a knife and she was trying to kill him.
Sango knew she couldn't waste time. She grabbed the screen and tried to lift up but it wouldn't come off. "Damn it" sango said quietly. She looked at the edges to see if it was locked or stuck but nothing was holding it. Noting she could see of course.
Sango was mad. She needed to be in that room to undo the curse and Sondri knew that. Its like she wanted the curse to be left alone. Sango thought back to there conversation. Sondri said "the only way I can get pleasure out of my pain, is to bring pain to others pleasure." that explains it. Sondri wants the curse to be left on so she can kill everyone in that room.
Sondri shouldn't be pitied, she should be hated. Sango now understood that she focused her mission on helping Sondri when Sondri was really the one that she should be destroying. But how can Sango fix this when she cant get in the room?
Sango thought a minute. Technically, she was in the room, just on top on it. It was worth a try. Sango crawled to the vent where she saw Miroku still fighting off Sondri. She knew Miroku was getting tired and she shouldn't be wasting time.
"No one gets out alive" she said quietly then stared to say it backwards over and over again. "alive out gets one no, alive out gets one no" Sondri noticed her saying the spell. She walked over the vent and saw Sango, with her eyes closed, undoing the spell.
"Stop it!" sondri yelled "No don't!". Sango blocked her voice out. She only focused on 5 words "alive out gets one no, alive out gets one no" Sondri started shaking and slowly disappeared. Sango said the spell once more before wiggling out of the vent and down the hall to the room.
She saw Kagome sitting on the ground, tired from trying to open the door and depressed because she thought she was going to die. She saw sango running to her and she stood. Sango smiled and gave her friend a hug. "Its all over" Sango said breaking the hug and running in the room.
She ran to Miroku and hugged him. It was finally over. She heard people walking around the hallways and the squeaking of stretchers outside the room. Miroku looked down at Sango and kissed her, which she didn't protest.
