"Sango! Sango!"
Miroku looked desperately around for her, but she was nowhere in sight.
"Inuyasha!"
-
Inuyasha's ears perked up.
"What is it Inuyasha?"
"Miroku. He sounds stressed..."
Kagome rose from her spot next to him. Looking at the door.
"Sango's missing..." she said.
Inuyasha looked up at her.
"How do you know?"
"I could feel it in Miroku's aura."
Inuyasha stood and took her by the hand, walking out of the room. They met up with Miroku after Inuyasha sniffed him out.
"What's the problem monk?"
Now Kohaku seemed worried too and was standing beside him.
"Me and Kohaku had gone out to go pratice our fightening skills, and well...We came back and Sango was gone."
Inuyasha sniffed the air.
"Her scent is faint, but..."
He sniffed again, "Do not worry she is with Kirara."
He nodded, "But she forgot Hiraikotsu."
Inuyasha took the boomerang from Miroku, since it seemed the monk was about to fall over with it.
Inuyasha sniffed again and turned.
"Follow me."
-
"Hello!"
Sango's voice echoed off the walls of the cellar. She didn't understand but behind the painting was this enormous shrine. And the women's painting was everywhere withen there. She didn't now how it was possible but it was Kagome. The odd thing was, she was dressed in her miko's outfit. 'How could Dedorou know about Kagome without meeting her?'
She looked at the new painting above the shrine. The women, or Kagome, looked sad. Like she had lost something she always wanted. Her tears were obvious in the picture. It hurt Sango, because most the time it was Inuyasha who made her cry.
"What are you doing here?"
Sango spun around to see a little old man, about the size of Jaken coming closer.
"You shouldn't be here..."
"Who are you?"
"I am master Herou. The protector of this shrine. Why have you seeked it out?"
"I stumbled upon it. Why do these painting look-"
"You do not need to know of such nonsense."
"Nonsense. She looks like my friend!"
"That's because she is."
"What?"
-
Inuyasha came to a dark part of the castle. He looked behind at the group. They had caught up with Shippou and Kome awhile ago and now they ended up here.
"Stay close guys."
They all nodded. He sniffed to a door way. He couldn't see so when he stepped forward he fell. He realized too late that it was a staircase and was now at the bottom.
"Inuyasha!"
He rubbed his head, "Watch your first step!"
"Okay!"
Kagome was the first he saw, then Miroku, Kohaku, Shippou and Kome. Inuyasha was telling Miroku to calm down, because the monk seemed to be hyperventilating. He heard a rash gasp come from behind him. He turned to see Kagome before apainting. Finally realizing too, thenthe wholegroup gasped. Inuyasha sniffed it.
"This is where Sango's sent ends."
"Why does it look like me?"
"I don't know, but i'll be having a good talk with Dedorou later."
Miroku went up to it, "There's something weird about this painting..."
He touched it and the wall moved. They all gasped.
Shippou scratched his head, "How?"
"It's a secret passage." said Kagome, "Lets go through."
They pushed the wall more and soon came face to face with a shrine. They all gasped.
"Is it me, or does it seem someone admires Kagome?"
Inuyasha growled. Kagome gasped and ran. Their heads flew in the direction she ran. There laying soundly was Sango. Kirara seemed to be missing, but no one knows where she went. Miroku ran over too. They all sat around her as Miroku put her in his lap. He shook her.
"Sango? Sango? Wake up."
She didn't show any signs of waking so Miroku got up with her in his arms.
"Something's not right about this..." said Kohaku.
"Definately, Kagome seems to be the main reason for this shrine, but why?"
"Ah, the legendary miko at last."
They all turned to see the old man Sango saw before. He walked up to Kagome.
"This castle has been waiting for you..."
Inuyasha stepped inbetween them.
"What do you want with Kagome?"
He laughed, "I don't want her. But she is needed here."
"What are you talking about old man?"
"Simple. She is legendary miko. The powerful goddess of this shrine. Her power alone could eliminate the world of youkai forever."
"I would never hurt Inuyasha, Shippou, Kome, or Kirara!"
The old man laughed. He picked up something in his cloak. Out came Kirara in his hands. He threw the small two tailed on Sango.
"They tried to attack me, but I did well to prevent that."
"What have you done to them!"
"Quiet monk. I have done nothing but put them to slumber."
The old man took something out of his pocket. He whispered low enough for the hanyou to hear.
"Mark my words hanyou. The miko becomes hurtthen your world will fall apart, right before your eyes."
Before Inuyasha could say anything the man threw a smoke bomb. The smoke rose in the air. Inuyasha covered his nose from the stench and heard his companions coughing. The smoke cleared and the room was empty. All that was left was a little stone with an inscription on in. Kagome picked it up and read it.
"The ones you love most, may hurt you the worst"
Inuyasha snatched it from her hands and chucked it, the stone shattering on the wall.
"Inuyasha!"
He turned away and growled, coming out of the room and stomping up the stairs. They watched him walk off, Kagome became worried and followed after. Miroku brought Sango up and Kohaku followed behind with the two small youkai.
What did that man mean by what he said to Inuyasha, Shippou?" said Kome.
"I don't know."
