Sorry bout not updating earlier… I
was so TIRED after the summer holiday had started.
Chapter
10, Acting strange
Inuyasha crushed against the trees once again. The demon turned
towards the others and Sango threw her boomerang towards it, but
missed. The demon smashed the ground, but the others sidestepped. The
demon managed to make a wound onto Sango's leg.
"Sango!" Miroku cried out.
"I am
okay. Look out!" She yelled when the demon attacked towards him.
Miroku didn't have chance to defense when the demon hit him on his
stomach, making him fell backwards.
"Miroku!"
"We
have to get out of here! Kirara!" Yelled Kagome, and Kirara turned
big. They all climbed onto her back and flew away, leaving the demon
to the island.
"Damn... they escaped." Thought the demon, then looked at its
blood-covered claws. "Still, I have the blood from that girl...
this may be a good chance."
The
others returned to the hut to take care of their wounds. Sango's
wound wasn't so serious but Miroku had a bad-looking bruise on his
stomach.
"What
about you Inuyasha?" Asked Kagome.
"I am
a half-demon, of course I'm okay." He swore.
"Alright..."
"I am
okay too. Miroku?"
"I
will fare."
The
night was cold and rainy. Sango had a nightmare again. She heard
someone calling her, with an alluring voice.
"N-no... I shouldn't listen..." She thought, but the voice got
stronger and she couldn't deny it anymore.
In the
morning Kagome woke up first. She lied on her bed and looked out of
the window. The sun was rising and colored everything into gold.
'This
village is so beautiful.' She thought. 'IT would be even more
beautiful without that demon…'
When
the other woke up, they all decided to go find something to eat.
There were no people out and all the shutters were closed. The whole
village seemed to be dead.
"Why
in the heck they won't come out?" Mumbled Inuyasha.
"Maybe
they're afraid of the demon." Suggested Kagome.
"I
don't think so. Yesterday they all were out." Reminded Miroku.
"Why
are you so quiet, Sango?" Asked Kagome after a moment of silence.
"My
head's aching, that's all." Answered Sango.
"Maybe
you should go back to our hut." Suggested Inuyasha.
"He's
right. Miroku can come with you." Agreed Kagome.
"Okay
then…" Said Sango, and they two started to walk towards the hut.
After arriving there they sat outside, looking at the sky and saying
nothing.
Suddenly Sango heard something. A voice inside her head, becoming
louder and louder. She put her hand onto her temple, and Miroku
noticed it.
"What's
wrong Sango? Are you okay?" He asked, very worried.
"Don't
listen to him…" Said the voice. "Because of him your
brother is dead… kill him…"
"NO!"
She yelled. It was too late to realize that the demon was controlling
her.
"Talk
to me Sango!" Said Miroku and grabbed her shoulders. "Are you in
pain?"
"You can have your brother back if he is dead… listen to me and you can be free from that pain of your brother's death." Said the demon. He had read Sango's mind so he knew what had happened to her earlier.
"Kill him… kill Miroku…"
"Sango… why are you crying?" Asked Miroku after seeing the tears in her eyes. "Honestly, tell me what's wrong! Please!"
"M-Miroku… run." She said, before her eyes turned no-seeing and she lost control of herself.
Action at last! What's going to happen now..?
