MIROKU AND SANGO

(Guess what? I made it to chapter two:D I hope you've liked it so far. :p)

CHP 2

The Blood That Has Been Shed

Where am I? Huh? It's Sango. She looks so pale, and there is blood all over her. What did Naraku do to her?

"Sango? Are you alright?" asked Kagome.

"K-kagome?" muttered Sango.

"What happened to you Sango?"

"Naraku he struck my face several times. But it's nothing. How did you get here?"

"He took me and Umi."

"But does he know that your-" Sango stopped short. Naraku walked though the door, an evil smile lit his face.

"Well, well your finally awake. My plan is now set in motion. With you three gone, it's enough to send Otherworld into chaos."

"You'll never get away with it Naraku, when you took me you more than likely enraged Miroku, and now you've taken Kagome and Umi. Now you've enraged InuYasha and Sesshoumaru. I told you Miroku would come for me, and I am not wrong. But I also know InuYasha and Sesshoumaru will come for Kagome and Umi."

"Silence." Naraku's claws slid across Sango's face, blood flew all around her. Sango hung her head down low and let the blood fall to the ground. Kagome wanted to do something to help her friend but her hands were chained to the wall. She watched in horror as Naraku then began to slap her over and over again. Kagome couldn't bear to watch it, so instead she looked over at Umi. She noticed Umi was also bloody and was breathing heavily. What had he done to Umi.

"Leave her alone!"

"Hmmm... let me think that over for a minute. No." He continued to strike her.

"Stop it!"

"You know you are becoming quite the nuscence." He moved away from Sango, and made his way over to her. Gently he tipped her chin up and forced her to look him in the eye. "Maybe I should give you the same treatment as her. I'm sure you don't want that."

"You can hurt me all you want just leave them alone."

Naraku began to laugh. "I'm going to hurt you all."

----------------------------------------------------------

InuYasha rolled over in his bed, and yawned. He opened his eyes to find Kagome missing. He sat up, and felt the covers just to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. Where was Kagome. He shrugged she probably went downstairs to make breakfast or something. InuYasha quickly threw on his clothes and ran downstairs.

"Kagome, hey Kagome. Are you down here?" He looked everywhere for her still he couldn't find her. Finally he ran into Sesshoumaru. "Hey Sesshoumaru have you seen Kagome."

"No."

"Oh, well if you find her tell me."

"You idiot... She's gone."

"Huh? What are you talking about Sesshoumaru?"

"Haven't you been in the kitchen? Naraku's scent is everywhere. So is Umi's and Kagome's scents."

"You mean he..."

"Yes, he took them."

"Grrrr... I'm gonna kill him."

"Good morning you two." smiled Kari.

"It's anything but a good morning, Kari." smirked InuYasha.

"Huh? Why what happened?"

"Never mind it. Where's Kurama?" stated Sesshoumaru.

"He's playing with our son, why?" Sesshoumaru and InuYasha began to walk off towards the courtyard.

"You'd better come with us." Kari, confused, followed after them. They were walking like there was an emergency or something. Wait a second; Kari hardly ever saw Sesshoumaru parted from Umi, what was going on. Before she knew it she was standing next to Kurama.

"Sesshoumaru, InuYasha, what is the meaning of this?"

"We need to talk now." Sesshoumaru simply stated. Kurama looked at Kari, and then back at his son. Slowly he put him into Kari's arms.

"I'll be back as soon as I can. I promise." Kari just nodded. Kurama turned his back and began to follow the two brothers' before she could say anything. He had no idea where they where taking him, but he still followed. They led him far away from the castle, and into a forest.

"Alright we're here."

"This had better be worth it Sesshoumaru. What is it that you need?"

"We need your help."

"What for?"

"Naraku took Umi and Kagome."

"So now he's taken them too."

"It's not surprising. But we can't just let him get the best of us. We can't just let him take them from us."

"Wow, I didn't know you had emotions like that Sesshoumaru." Smirked InuYasha.

"Ha. Ha. So funny InuYasha. I'm amused."

"So what's the plan?"

"I say we storm the place and take them back." suggested Miroku as he walked up to them. "It could be our only chance."

"No that would be too reckless. We only end up getting killed." Sesshoumaru snorted. "Why are you even here monk? No one important to you has been taken."

"No one important? Sango was taken! She's the most important person in my life! I may not show it, but she is." InuYasha suddenly turned around and walked over to the bushes behind them. He punched them.

"Oww... what was that for?" Kari stood up out of the bushes, her son held tightly in her arms.

"Kari, why did you follow us?"

"Because I needed to know what was going on too, Kurama."

Kurama nodded. "I see."

"Then we'll stick to my plan?"

"Yes, but first we must find out what Naraku is planning."

---------------------------------------------------------

Sango slowly opened her eyes. Every muscle on her body seemed to be screaming, she could feel the dried blood on her face. Sango turned to look at Kagome; she looked in really bad shape. This wasn't good, not good at all. Sango pulled at the chains, they just wouldn't budge. She tried as hard as she could, but still nothing happened.

On the opposite side of the room, Umi began to stir. Umi found it hard to open her eyes, all she could feel was pain. Something was wrong; she never felt pain, unless. Umi came to a horrible realization, she had become so weak that she had morphed back into her human form. She tried to change back into her hanyou form but she just couldn't do it.

Sango looked over at Umi, she looked worse than Kagome. "Umi... are you alright?"

"No, I'm not. I can't change my form, and I can barely move. Plus I hurt like hell."

"Concentrate Umi, and you'll manage it."

"All right I'll try again, but I don't think this is going to work." Umi bared her teeth, no matter what she had to do this. Suddenly Umi was enveloped in a strange light, she began to change. Slowly she took on the shape of her half-demon self. "I don't believe it. I did it."

----------------------------------------------------------

Kari sat quietly in her room, waiting for Kurama to come back. Tenki was sleeping in her arms. He was like an exact replica of his father, when she looked at him, tears slowly began to slide down her face. "Please come back to me Kurama."

Kari hadn't noticed, but Naraku was sitting on her windowsill. "Hello, Kari. Long time no see?"

Kari gasped. "Naraku! What are you doing here?"

"I'm grasping the moment." Naraku's cold hands reached down and pulled her off the ground. "I'm taking you and your son." Without hesitation he knocked her out with his bare hands. Tenki began to slip from her arms, but Naraku grabbed him. Laughing he threw Kari over his shoulder, and held her son in his arms.

----------------------------------------------------------

"Kari, I'm back! Kari?" Kurama opened their door, he saw no one. "Kari?" He walked over to her bed, what he saw was blood, Kari's blood. He quickly changed into Yoko and sniffed the air. Naraku's scent was everywhere. Yoko shook his head and turned back into Kurama. Kurama wasn't shocked, just upset. He stormed out of his room and went to find the others.

He found them talking in the living room. As he walked in they all stopped talking and looked at him.

"Kurama what is it?" asked Hiei.

"She's gone, and so is my son."

"Naraku's done it again." smirked Hiei.

"This isn't a laughing matter Hiei. I'm going to find them, now."

"Wait Kurama, I'll go with you." Miroku quickly said as he got up.

Kurama nodded. "Fine, is anyone else coming?" One by one they all began to get up, except Hiei. "Aren't you coming Hiei?"

"Well someone has to stay behind to make sure nothing happens to the rest of our children and mates." They nodded, Hiei was right. All of them, except Hiei, followed Kurama through the front gates.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Huh? Where am I?"

"Your in Naraku's castle." choked Sango, barely able to speak.

"Where's my son?"

Umi shook her head. "We didn't know he was taken too."

"No..."

"Don't worry Kari, we'll get him back." Umi assured her. Kari didn't seem to be listening, tears started to roll down her cheeks. Umi shook her head, she had meant what she said.

"Kari don't cry. Your not the only one here who has children."

"But you don't have any, Kagome."

"No yet, but I will. If I die though, this world will not lose one life but two. For my child's sake I will survive. You must survive too, Kari. What will happen if you die?"

"They will just go on living."

"No, they won't. You know that without you Kurama has no reason to live."

"He has Tenki."

"But it would never be the same for him."

"Arrghh.. I'm tired of listening to you feel sorry for yourself, I'm getting us out of here." Umi's eyes began to glow as she pulled at her chains. They just snapped. She broke them completely off her arms. Then she moved to the others and broke their chains too. When got to Sango she was able to see just how beat up she was, in fact she looked barely alive. Once she freed her, she fell to the ground. It didn't look like she'd be able to get up, but slowly she made it to her feet. "Do you think you can make it Sango?"

"I don't know but I'll try." All, but Kari began to walk towards the exit.

"We can't go yet, my son is still in there with Naraku."

Umi nodded. "Kagome, get Sango to safety. I'll go back with Kari."

Sango walked straight up to Umi. "No, I'm not going anywhere. I will fight, after all look at what he did to me."

Umi looked shocked, but nodded her head. "Fine, but then Kagome you should go get help."

"Alright I will." Kagome ran as fast as she could, she had to get back, she needed to get help. She ran into a forest and tripped, she fell right on her face. Kagome couldn't get up; she had done something to her ankle. What use to her friends was she now. Kagome closed her eyes, she had given up, she could go no farther. Suddenly she felt warm hands on her face, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"InuYasha... I..I.."

"Shh.. it's alright I'm here." He pulled her into his warm embrace, and gently kissed her lips. Kagome slowly pulled away.

"InuYasha, the others they need help."

"I know, but Kurama and them guys can handle it." InuYasha picked her up off the ground, and held her tightly in his arms. He sped off towards the castle.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Umi, do you know where he is?"

"Yes I do Kari."

"We should do a sneak attack from behind. We might be able to catch him off guard." suggested Sango.

"Let's try it." Sango and Umi slowly circled around Naraku until they were behind him. Sango cautiously moved along the rocks that covered the floor, careful not to make a sound. Umi did the same moving in the other direction. Sango quietly picked up a rod lying on the ground, and crept closer to Naraku. She could see Tenki, wrapped up in his blankets, sleeping silently on the ground. Sango signaled Umi to tell her where the baby was, and leapt into a deadly attack. When the rod was just inches from Naraku's head, he turned and grabbed it, forcing Sango to the ground. Then it was Umi's turn. Umi tackled Naraku and began to go at him with her claws. She managed to scratch him a few times before he caught her hands, and held her there.

Umi struggled but it was no use, Naraku kicked her off of him. She landed on the cold stone floor, and fell unconsouis. Naraku smiled, and turned to face Sango, who was coming at him again. This time when he caught the rod he broke it in two. Naraku closed his hand around Sango's neck and held her up off the ground, she tried to fight his grip, but she was just too weak. But she couldn't give up now, not after they had come so close. From a hidden compartment in her cat suit Sango drew a knife. She thrust the blade into Naraku, his eyes went wide. Everything around Sango began to plunge into darkness. The last thing she saw was Miroku rushing into the cave.

Miroku charged at Naraku, flinging his staff into his face. Blinded he dropped Sango, and just before she hit the ground, Miroku slid under her and caught her in his arms. He looked down at her face it was torn and bloody, and she also had multiple wounds all over the rest of her body. What had he done to her.

"You will pay for this Monk!" screamed Naraku as he vanished into thin air.

Miroku feared that Sango was dead, sadly he picked her up and began to walk out of Naraku's base. Miroku could feel her blood running down his fingers and it sickened him.

He looked down at her, and slowly tears made their way down his face. Miroku buried his head in her shoulder.

"I'm sorry Sango. I'm so sorry. I've failed you, and now you're gone forever." sobbed Miroku.

"Miroku... don't be silly... you.. didn't... fail..." muttered Sango.

"Sango your alive! I was afraid I'd lost you."

Sango gently smiled and looked up at him. "Miroku... I..."

Miroku put his hand over her mouth. "Don't speak, I know."
