Cursed I: To Bleed
Summary: Two months after Naraku's defeat, the group stumbles across a demon named Talika, who seems to have a sinister plan in hand… with Sango as the key player.
Chapter One: Curses, Blood, and Time Hopping
Talika crushed the orb with her fist and let the shards fall onto the ground. An evil laugh hummed from her throat, but she was careful not to release it. There were humans around. Carefully masking her scent, she moved ever closer to the wedding party.
"How's marriage feel, Sango?" the cheery miko asked. Talika wanted to stick her claw down the skimpy girl's throat but knew it wouldn't do. Her plans would fail if she did.
"It feels good, Kagome... So... are you going to ask him, or not?" Sango asked her. Talika nearly snarled.
"I think so... But enough of that now... We've got a wedding to enjoy here." Kagome said, pulling her best friend along. Talika acted quickly, pulling her son along.
"Miss... I'm looking for my son's father... Do you happen to know where the monk Miroku is?" Talika asked Sango. Sango blanched before running over to her husband.

Kagome looked at the woman in horror. She had a child with Miroku! Trying to calm down, she looked at the child and came to a realization. He had to be at least ten. Unless Miroku was having heirs at eight years old, the child couldn't be his.
"What kind of person tries to break up two people in love on their wedding day with lies!" Kagome hissed. The woman smirked.
"I'm not human, idiotic miko... and they deserve to die, as well as you and Inuyasha for killing my father..." the woman whispered in Kagome's ear. Kagome let out a blood curdling scream, bringing Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku rushing to her side. The demon's son had his hand through Kagome's back and out her stomach.
"Until later, my dear..." the demon said, disappearing with a burst of wind, the child with her.
"Sang... He was...not... Miro-" Kagome said as blood poured out of her wounds and mouth.
"The well! Hurry Inuyasha!" Sango cried. Inuyasha swiftly picked up the dying girl and ran to the well, jumping in seconds later, enveloped in a blue light.

Sango cried into her husband's robes, hugging him tightly with no sign of release. Miroku gripped her tightly as well, showing no release, scared for their friend as well.
"I left her, because I was so mad at you. I thought you really were his father. It's all my fault!" Sango sobbed. Miroku kissed her forehead.
"It's not your fault, Sango. It's the fault of that woman's mother for ever giving birth to her..." Miroku told her. An idea forme in the monk's head, and her groped his wife.
She nearly slapped him before she realized what he was doing.
"Mir.. keep distracting me..." Sango rasped pulling him down onto the floor as she went down.
-
Inuyasha raced into the main house, searching for Kagome's mother. She would know what to do. Seeing a note on the counter addressed to Kagome, he read the parts he could, and knew where to go. He just hoped he could make it there in time.
-
Talika watched as the couple slept on, unawhere she was watching... always watching. Smiling evily, the young demon stepped through the warded doorway and up to the sleeping lovers.
"Sango the tajiya, wife of the monk, Miroku, once carrier of the accursed Wind Tunnel, I curse you to bear a terrorful burden. I curse you to..."

End of Chapter One...
What did you think?
I wanted to answer questions about this, but I'm afraid I don't want to spoil the storyline. There will not be any more of Inuyasha and Kagome except in mentioning and thoughts later on, until otherwise stated. I'd say when they return, but that would ruin my wonderful plot.
If you want spoliers, just say so in a review or email me, and I'll send a few on.
And a clue. My penname is based on Sango's curse.
