Chapter 7
Miroku was in the garden picking some herbs to cure Hachi's little cold. When Miroku threw him out of the bath he caught a cold. Miroku kind of felt bad because it was his fault his friend has a high fever. Once Miroku got the herbs he took a wooden basket and put nice cold water inside. He took a damp rag and placed it on Hachi's forehead. Miroku stepped outside and stretched out his arms and yawned. When he finished yawning he saw a small figure in the skies above. The figure kept getting bigger until Miroku was able to identify it. It was Kilala.
"Kilala? Why is she here? Hey Kilala where is Sango? Why have you come?" Miroku asked.
In Kilala's mouth was a piece of paper from Prince Sekanta.
"What is this?" Miroku asked.
Miroku took the piece of paper and began to read it. Miroku's eyes began to widen in fear.
"How can this be happening?" Miroku asked himself.
The letter said:
Dear Half demon and others,
I have your friend Sango and her brother in my hands. If you want to see them ever again, I suggest you hand over the Shikon no tama. Meet me at swamp Kashinotsu. If you fail to do so your friends will die in the hands of me, Prince Sekanta. If the monk uses the wind tunnel, her fait will die from him. Be here by sun down or death will take over the evening.
Sincerely,
Prince Sekanta
"Damn it!" Miroku tightened his fists.
Miroku threw the paper and grabbed his staff. He then jumped on Kilala and rose to the sky.
"Sango hold on I'll save you" Miroku thought aloud.
Kilala roared to see if Miroku would understand her. Kilala's head pointed to the direction of Kaede's village.
"Kilala we mustn't put Kagome in danger. Remember this guy wants her and the Shikon jewel. If we get her she will surely die and if I can rescue Sango we won't have to get them involved. Kilala do me a favor. If I don't succeed, please get Inuyasha and Kagome. Let's go Kilala!" Miroku spoke to the demon cat.
It was now noon and the sun was getting lower by the hour. Miroku had to reach the swamp in time or Sango was going to die.
"Sango I never told you but I really care about you. If anything should ever happen to you, I would have to blame myself for not being there to protect you. You just reunited with your brother Kohaku and this happens to you. The only thing is that I don't have the wind tunnel anymore. If I had it I would have to gamble on your life though. Would I really take that chance? The only way I can save you now is only with my spiritual powers. Hope they're enough" Miroku glazed at the sun without blinking.
Back with Sango:
"Err, Damn I can't break free from this slime" Sango tried to wedge free.
"What are we going to do sis. I doesn't matter what we do. We just aren't strong enough" Kohaku said in fear.
"Kohaku stop talking such nonsense and try to get free. Why must you doubt everything" Sango was getting impatient of her brother's remarks.
"It's not nonsense and you know it. You just can't admit defeat, can you?" Kohaku began to yell.
"Just shut up and stop being a wimp!" Sango burst out with anger.
"Sango…I've never seen you so mad at me before. Why now?" Kohaku was stunned.
"I guess I'm afraid to die and it's just getting to my head. I'm sorry" Sango began to shed tears.
"Did I make Sango cry?" A familiar voice came from the shadows.
"Prince Sekanta! Let us go now!" Kohaku built enough courage to argue with the demon.
"Oh, the quiet one as finally talked. How surprising. You better hope that cat of yours is getting the woman and the jewel. If she should fail, well you know" Prince Sekanta got close to Kohaku's face.
"Stop toying with us and just let us go" Kohaku said in combat.
"I have to admit you have some guts to speak to me like this. I could just kill you with one strike but that would be too easy" the prince said.
"Wait until you meet Inuyasha. You are already dead to him and he can beat you. Do you even know how much power he has? He can beat his own brother and he's a full demon. So what makes you so special" Sango cut into the conversation.
"You know you're kind of cute in a twisted way. How would you feel becoming my princess? You can have the most incredible power than any mere human. What do you say or think?" Prince Sekanta came up with a crazy idea.
"Like I'm going to marry a demon like you. I would have to be crazy to do that. And anyway, I'm in love with somebody. Sorry but I'm already taken" With this Sango spit onto his face and looked the other way.
"Ah, you are so damn stubborn! You know how to treat someone" Sekanta rose his hand and was ready to smack Sango.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Miroku came in on Kilala and hit the Prince's arms.
The Prince fell to the ground and struggled to get up.
"Miroku you're here" Sango said with happiness and joy.
Miroku put one of his sacred scrolls on the slime and it began to break. Sango got free and stretched. Prince Sekanta got up and opened his hand and pointed it at Miroku. Sango saw what was about to happen.
"Miroku watch out!" Sango moved in front of the monk.
The slime got them together and stuck them to the wall. Miroku's staff was stuck on the ground so that didn't help much. The prince began to laugh for his victory.
"Bastard!" Miroku shouted with anger and fire in his eyes.
"Make your self at home because you're going to be here for a while. Wait you can't you're stuck to the wall" The prince laughed some more.
Kilala knew what she had to do next. She had to get Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippou as fast as should can. She took once more glance at her friends then took off.
Kilala did a lot of thinking while she flew over the grounds of Feudal Japan. She can remember when Sango's father handed her over to Sango. She can picture Sango's face when she saw her. Sango's face was full of joy and happiness. Kilala wasn't about to give up yet. She wasn't going to allow Prince Sekanta to kill her best friend. Kilala started to fly faster. She was heading to Kaede's village where Inuyasha and Kagome were. The sun was getting lower and it was almost the hour when the sun sets. Kilala looked back and saw the sun lowering. She was getting close to the village but she was hurrying anyway.
Flash Back When Sango got Kilala:
"Father who is this?" little Sango asked.
"This is Kilala" Sango's father replied.
"What a pretty kitty" Sango held Kilala in the air.
Kilala finally reached the village. She walked through the village but no sign of Inuyasha or Kagome. Kilala began to walk faster.
"Hey, isn't that Kilala" a village woman remarked.
"Yes. That's lady Kagome's friend's cat demon" a village man said.
Kagome was walking down the path and saw Kilala.
"Kilala?" Kagome ran towards Kilala.
Kagome brought Kilala to Kaede's hut.
"Hey Kilala. What are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked.
Kilala stood up and bit Inuyasha's kimono. Kilala dragged Inuyasha outside and knelt down. Inuyasha smelt another demon scent on Kilala. He knew something was up so he went back into the hut and got Kagome and Shippou.
"Inuyasha where are we going?" Kagome asked while Inuyasha pulled her out with her bow and arrows.
"Something is wrong. Kilala wants us to go some where. I think Sango might be in trouble. I picked up another demon scent on Kilala so something is defiantly is going on. I also saw some battle marks on her that looked familiar. Come on and get on Kilala" Inuyasha informed the confused Kagome.
"Okay" Kagome answered back.
"Okay Kilala lets go. Fly us where you want us to go" Inuyasha told the two tailed cat.
The sun was getting close to the sun setting and they only had not much time. Kilala was going as fast as she could. Inuyasha noticed that Kilala was in a worried stage. They needed to get to swamp Kashinotsu before sun down. The sun had met the mountains and was about to hide behind them.
"It seems that your cat has failed to save you" Prince Sekanta said while looking at the sunset.
"Kilala…I know you tried your hardest" Sango's eyes began to water.
"Say good bye to your pathetic lives. Hah…" The prince stopped.
The prince's hand had a slit in it by someone. Another person was with them.
"You cocky bastard!" The voice said.
Cliffhanger!hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
