Chapter Seven

The journey wasn't that hard, considering that the place was quite close. Kirara was having some problems with Kagome on her back, and her dead master also. She could smell the scent that Sango carried; Kagome was all over her blood. She concluded that Kagome had tried to hurt her, and several times she had tried to shake her off, but scoldings from Inuyasha and Miroku were stopping her.

Kirara was worried for her master. She hoped that this demon would help them and that he would revive Sango. Hopefully.

When they reached the plains that Yoru lived, Inuyasha grunted and said, "Do I really have to do this...?"

"Yes, if you want Sango back." Miroku said, all calm. 'I bet it's because HE doesn't have to do this...' Inuyasha thought angrily.

"...fine. Whatever. I'll do it. But only for Sango. Keh!" Inuyasha was still grumbling. He stood up a little more ahead of the group, and started the poem,

"Oh Yoru oh Yoru come out for me

The others are calling so you can see.

Please come out; I have a favor to ask

And I need your help, so please come help me do my task."

All the while, Inuyasha was thinking this:

"Oh Yoru oh Yoru come out for me

'His name can be substituted for yarou...

The others are calling so you can see.

'What kind of demon wants to be called out like THIS?!'

Please come out; I have a favor to ask

'Or I'll kill you'

And I need your help, so please come help me do my task."

'I hate this guy already...'

When Inuyasha thought that it couldn't get any worse (he had heard Kagome and Miroku's surpressed laughter coming from behind him), the demon Yoru came and he started to growl. 'Why the heck does this "Yoru"... why is he so familiar...? It couldn't be..!'

Kurai stepped out of the shadows, smirking.

--I would leave here, demo.... I'll be nice cause that wasn't long--

"YOU!" Inuyasha and Miroku shouted at the same time. This just made Kurai's smirk spread more across his face, and he almost started to laugh.

"Yes, it's me. I'm Yoru. Hahaha... did you actually think that you destroyed me with that little excuse for a sword?!" He started to cackle evilly as he looked around at the group and stopped at Sango.

"Sango..?" He asked quietly, his eyes widening. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO SANGO?! Why is she like that?! Why is the smell of death surrounding her?!"

"Yea baka. That's why we came to you. A miko suggested that we go to you to help heal her." Inuyasha snorted, thinking that even Kurai wouldn't save her and waiting so another battle would come. This time he would KILL him for good.

'Sango... Sango... death...' That was all that was echoing through Kurai's mind, and then he came to his senses. He now had the power to heal, and Sango was hurt. Surely... he could do this for his once former mate, even if she DID go away from him. Go with the monk. It had torn him apart, seeing her go with him.

'Surely he has some compassion, atleast to heal Sango. He once cared for her... once. If he doesn't... We'll have to go to Sesshoumaru, who would rather die than heal a HUMAN.' Miroku thought, staring hard at the shadow demon.

"Fine. I will heal her, only because I cared for her once, and I long to see her eyes again." Kurai answered, and everyone stared at him in shock. He was actually going to heal Sango!

"K-Kurai..." Kagome started.

"No! Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted, but she waved her hand at him and he was silent. Kurai cocked his head a little, asking with his body language.

"It.... it was me. I... still can't believe it, but... I... k-kille...d... Sango..." Kagome had tears running down her face again, and the saltiness stung Inuyasha's and Kurai's noses.

Kurai barely noticed the smell. The worlds were just sinking in. 'She... killed Sango..?!' he thought. 'She killed that youkai tajiya? The strong girl who broke of my trance first...? Died...'

He lunged at her, swiping his claws at her and narrowly missing. "I will not kill you... but I want you to die!" he shouted, swiping as Inuyasha leaped in front and took the blow. He fell over, grunting in pain.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted and ran over to him.

Kurai was now panting and ready to cry. "I will not kill you... not now. I need to heal Sango, and now you Inuyasha. Let's go inside." He pointed to a cave.

"Keh! You don't need to heal ME, I'll be FINE." Inuyasha stated coldly.

Kurai nodded and led them inside and they sat down. He explained the needs to heal Sango.

"We have to go into the spirit world to bring her back. The only problem is, we need two people of the opposite sex that are closest to her. There, she will decide. The shadows have touched her; you need to convince her to come. I will perform the ritual, and I will stay. Inuyasha and the monk, you will go. Kagome..." He growled her name, but kept still. "You will stay. I promise I won't hurt her," he added to the other two.

Kirara meowed, and everyone looked at her.

"Nani?" Kagome asked.

Kirara just growled at Kagome and narrowed her eyes and communicated to Kurai.

"She says that if I don't kill her, she would kill Kagome herself for hurting her master." Kurai looked wide-eyed at the neko youkai, who just looked back.

"Kirara... I really... I'm sorry... I really am... Please, forgive me." Kagome said.

Kirara looked at her, and then looked at Inuyasha and Miroku. They both nodded slightly, and Kirara looked at Kagome and snuggled against her.

"She forgives you." Kurai said. He then started gathering all the supplies needed and started to do the ritual.

"Let's begin."

A/N: YAY! If you guys haven't read Demon Aura, Kurai's from there. Those that have.... BWAHAHA! HE'S BACK!Kind of. I didn't really like him in the other story, but here... I guess he's okay. But yea. The poem that Inuyasha had to shout out was HORRIBLE I know I suck at poetry, and I wasn't really paying any attention.

I think this is the longest chapter ever!! See what boredom in the morning does to you?! T.T ::cries::

Well, I worked hard on this. ONEGAI, R&R!! I want reviews. ::smile::
