I wrote the first chapter into the sequel! Well this could be a unconnected story but maybe it connects with the original somehow. Hope u like this!
Chapter 7, Strange village
Walking alone... in the darkness where no human has gone before... was Kohaku. Sango tried to follow her, without arriving to him... She called out of him, for nothing... her voice didn't reach him, her legs didn't move to him... Kohaku turns around, looking at her with eyes full of sadness... She cries him to come back but he just continues walking.
"Kohaku wait! Do not go!" She yells to him, without a voice of her own... There's no air to lead the voice to Kohaku... Sango feels everything fading away, her brother's figure disappears and it gets harder to breathe... She cannot even scream...
Sango woke up, sweating and gasping air. They were on a forest and she was sitting next to Miroku, who slept against a tree.
'Another bad dream...' Thought Sango and closed her eyes again. Then she fell asleep, trying to forget the feeling that she couldn't breathe.
Some weeks after the night in the mountains they had arrived into a forest full of springs. Sango kept seeing nightmares about Kohaku and they just didn't go away. That's why she was very tired in the mornings.
"Why do you think you see those dreams?" Asked Kagome in one day, when they were traveling again.
"I don't know. Maybe cause I killed him?" Suggested Sango. She had gone over his brother's death already.
"It would be possible." Said Miroku. Inuyasha stopped and smelled the air.
"What is it now?" Asked Kagome.
"I smell something strange." Answered Inuyasha and continued walking, faster and faster.
"What strange?" Asked Sango.
"Here's village near... I can sense evil spirits." Mumbled Miroku.
"Oh man..." Mumbled Kagome.
They walked some time until they arrived into a lake. On the opposite bank of it did huge walls envelop a village.
"What is this place?" Asked Sango and looked around.
"There's something wrong in that village." Growled Inuyasha.
"Let's go and see what is it." Suggested Kagome, and so they walked into the gates of the village.
"Who goes there?" Asked the guard, with angry tone. He was standing on the wall.
"We're friends, just searching a place to rest." Answered Miroku.
"Why is he so angry?" Whispered Kagome.
"Maybe he's bored to his work." Suggested Sango quietly.
"Why do you want to come here?" Asked the guard.
"To rest and eat, I said already." Told Miroku, a bit dumbfounded about the guard's tone.
"Find another village. Outsiders are not allowed here." Grunted the guard and was about to walk away, when suddenly a beautiful woman appeared next to him.
"Why don't let them in, my guard?" Asked the woman, with soporific tone. "They needs a place to rest and eat something."
The guard seemed to fell into trance. "Of course, My Lady. I'll let them in."
"Fine. Lead them into my mansion, I'll be waiting there." Said the woman, and glided away just as suddenly as she had appeared. The guard opened the gates and the four walked in.
There were creaky houses and empty streets in the village, and somewhere was even skeletons on the ground. It was creepy.
"Who was that woman?" Thought Kagome.
"This is not going to be good." Mumbled Inuyasha. "There's no people here."
"He's right. We should be careful." Agreed Miroku.
"Will we go into that woman's mansion?" Asked Sango.
"I think it would be better... maybe she gives us some answers." Answered Inuyasha.
And so they followed the guard into the big building on the edge of the village.
Gimme time to write! I may be so slow when I have other stories incomplete!
