The Zodiac Curse
-Chapter 3-
Memories

( For this chapter, half of it will be on what happened last night before Kagome woke up and got into a huge mess, then, it'll say on what she's going to do after that.)

As Sesshomaru and Inuyasha drove Kagome to their house, Inuyasha was just getting annoyed by sitting in the back just because of someone sitting in the front, taking HIS seat. It belongs to him right? So he should sit in it so Kagome could just lie in the back, resting until... Who knows what?

But it's not her fault she got a fever. Well, maybe it's her fault because she does live in a cold, dark cave all alone with no one to come by or visit her. So sad...

(Home!)

Sesshomaru put Kagome in his arms again, in the same position as before. Of course, Inuyasha had to open the door because his hands were full of a body. But once they got in, Miroku came running to them in the halls.

"Inuyasha! Tohru Honda just called!" Said Miroku.

"What did she want?" Asked Inuyasha.

"She wanted to know where Kagome is because Sango called her and said that Kagome's line was disconnected and-Oh! Never mind, I'll call Tohru right back! Please excuse me!" Miroku turned around and marched back to the living to dial Tohru's number. He reached her. "Tohru? Kagome is safe, it seems that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru found her somewhere."

"Do you know where they found her?" Asked Tohru.

"I don't know, let me check! Inuyasha! Tohru wants to know where you guys found her!"

"IN A CAVE IN THE PARK NEAR OUR SCHOOL!" Shouted Inuyasha.

"Tohru, Inuyasha said they found her in a cave in the park near our school... WHAT? INUYASHA, ARE YOU SERIOUS?"

"YES I'M SERIOUS!"

"Miroku? Are you alright?" Asked Tohru.

"Ah... Yes, Tohru! I'm f-f-fine!" Answered Miroku.

"Well, thank you very much! I'll call Sango to tell her what's happened to Kagome."

"Uh... Wait! Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Will you bear my child?"

There was silence over the phone. Miroku was hoping she didn't hang up. But Tohru wasn't like that kind of person. She's the kind of person who doesn't want to hurt other people's feelings or put people down. She doesn't yell at people, she cares about others and tries to like everybody even though they're mean to her. Or does she do all of that?

"Miroku..."

"Yes?"

"I don't want to hurt your feelings but..."

"Yes?"

"I don't want to bear your child! I'm not ready for that yet... Sorry."

"Its okay, Tohru! At least you're not like other girls!" She laughed. "See you tomorrow!"

"Bye!"

And they both hanged up the phone. Miroku still felt hurt but she at least didn't stomp on his heart and tell him that he's a pig! No, she just apologizes nicely and told him her answer and apologized again. It would be great if other people were like Tohru. But, there are hardly any people like that.

"She rejected you?" Asked Inuyasha.

"Yeah, but in a nice and honest way!" Said Miroku.

"You're lucky that she isn't like that kind of girl who smacks you when you ask that kind of question. If she was, you'll never hear the end of it. She might spread rumors that you had sex with every girl you met in your life so far that-OW! What did you do that for?" Angered Inuyasha because Miroku threw a book at his face. Why is everyone hitting tonight?

"One more word and I'll throw a desk at you!"

"Go ahead and try it you monkey!"

"Shut up before I kick you both out in the street!" Warned Sesshomaru.

"Why? So you can be alone with Kagome and have sex with her or-OW! Why is everyone hitting tonight?"

"Because you keep having nasty thoughts into that idiot head of yours! Girls will be calling you a pervert because you keep thinking about sex."

"That's not true!"

"Yes it is!" Claimed Miroku.

"How would you know? You're the one that touches girl's butts!"

"But I don't plan on having sex with a girl I hardly know!"

"But you still ask them to bear your child!"

"But he's the one that doesn't think like that as you do!" Said Sesshomaru.

"Shut up!"

"Can we just get Kagome-sama to bed?"

"Oh... YOU'RE NASTY MIROKU!" Shouted Inuyasha.

"Miroku, just get some ice!" Commanded Sesshomaru. He carried Kagome to a room and set her down on the floor, grabbing a blanket from the cabinet and putting it over her body. He went on one knee to look at her closely, but then she started to moan.

"Mom...?"

"No... It's just me, Inuyasha's older brother," said Sesshomaru.

"Oh... I thought she was back alive with my other family members..."

"Tell me what happened to them..."

"Last week... Mom, Dad, and Souta died in a car accident. It turned out my dad was drinking earlier and he crashed into a phone pole."

Sesshomaru just sat there listening. He didn't know what to say yet. She still needs to talk.

"I had no other relatives to take me in, but the orphanage took me in, but I escaped. I decided to live by myself, and still go to the same school. But lately, I have been a little grouchy at people. Like the time you came to my cave. I didn't know what to do... All I can do is... pray... hope... I'll get... some place to live." She went back to sleep.

Well, he didn't get much information out of her as he thought. But that's when Miroku and Inuyasha came in. In fact, they were listening to the whole conversation they were kind of talking about. Inuyasha kind of felt guilty... and he felt sorry for her. He never knew that. How come it wasn't in the news or in the paper?

"Strange... no wonder she's been biting people's heads off!" Said Inuyasha.

"You should always be careful of a woman. You can invade on a dangerous territory," said Miroku.

"You guys should get her things, but make sure you guys don't do it alone," said Sesshomaru. He turned his head to face them and saw their bodies glowing and so are their eyes.

"Humph! Don't worry, we will!" Said Miroku.

"You won't have to worry about us!" Then all kinds of monkeys and dogs came to them and they left. Sesshomaru looked back at them and stood up. He walked to the sliding door and closed it.

(The next morning, after what happened with the pile of smoke.)

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! SOMEONE DO SOMETHING! CALL AN AMBULANCE!" Screamed Kagome.

"This is really not GOOD!" Angered Sesshomaru.

"What? You can talk?" Asked Kagome."

"Inuyasha, this is your fault!" Said Miroku.

"My fault! She was the one who tripped and fell into you guys!" Said Inuyasha.

"But you were the one who was about to punch your elder, as me!" Said Sesshomaru.

"I don't care what you all say! IT'S STILL HER FAULT!"

Kagome just watched them fight over she doesn't know what! What the heck is going on here? She has to find out before she passes out. Or before something worse happens.

"Wait! Can you tell me what's going on?" Asked Kagome.

"Fine, you should know the truth because in this condition we can't lie to you. I'm a dragon of the Zodiac, Miroku is a monkey, and Inuyasha is a dog. It's a curse that has been in our family for generations. If we're hugged by the opposite sex or become really happy, we change into our Zodiac form. But we change back into an amount of time. Only..." Sesshomaru was hesitating to say the rest.

"Only?"

But then a puff of three different colors of smoke came into view. Kagome coughed in it and looked her way through the smoke. And saw something she didn't want to see until she gets married.

"We're naked!"

Kagome made herself face the wall, screaming, gasping for air! IT'S NOT GOOD AT ALL!
