The Zodiac Curse

-Chapter 5-
Another Person Knows the Secret

Miroku was looking at the clouds outside of his window. He was trying to picture Sango with the clouds. But it was no use. He wants to see Sango, but he has no idea where she lives. Maybe Kagome knows. He closed his window and ran out of his door, finding Kagome doing the laundry.

"Kagome! Do you know where Sango lives?" Asked Miroku.

"Yes, but why should I tell you?" Answered Kagome with a question.

"She...left her homework in class so I want to give it back to her!"

"Yeah, right! Tell me the real reason."

"Okay! I want to ask her out on a date! Is that such a crime?"

"To Sango, yes!"

"Please! I need to date her!"

"For what reason?"

"Because she's nice, attractive, popular, who doesn't know about the secret, and she has a big butt, and..."

"Okay! That's enough for me! Just let me write it down first." Kagome didn't get a chance to get paper because Miroku already had paper and pencil with him when he came. "Uh...o...kay!" She started to write it down on the flat surface of the dryer. When she was done, she gave it back to Miroku and he ran out of the door.

But someone stopped him before he left.

"Where are you going?"

Miroku stopped getting his shoes on and turned around and saw...HIM!

"Uh, well! I'm going out on a date!" Said Miroku.

"Who said you can go out?" Asked Sesshomaru.

"Well, it's only a date! What's the harm of it?"

"You blow our cover by accidentally hugging your date with no thought in that thick skull of yours!"

"Relax! I won't hug her!"

"Aren't dates suppose to be at night?"

"Well, she has an early curfew!"

"What time?"

"Six-thirty!"

"Fine, go! Be here at seven or I'll rip your head off!"

"Uh...okay!"

He put on his shoes fast and ran out of the door before Sesshomaru question him some more. Sesshomaru just stood at the door, looking at the run-away- Miroku! He turned around to walk in the halls and bumped into something that created pain in his stomach. He bumped into a basket of laundry, which was carried by Kagome.

"Sorry! I was going to go to your room and drop off your clothes!" Said Kagome.

"Just make sure you don't get it dirty again!" Said Sesshomaru. And he walked past her.

Kagome turned her head and saw him going into the kitchen. He must be very pissed.

"I would be careful if I were you!" Kagome turned and saw Inuyasha at the staircase. "He doesn't really like anyone washing his clothes except him. Especially if it's the underwear!"

"Do you really need to tell me that!"

"Yes, it's just a warning!"

"I mean the underwear part!"

"Yes, just making sure so he won't kick you out."

"Why do you care all of a sudden?"

"I'm not caring! I'm warning!"

"Yeah, whatever! Here's your laundry!" She pushed the basket into his arms.

"I thought this was Sesshomaru's laundry!"

"It's yours too!" She went upstairs and slammed her door. She jumped and landed on her bed. She looked out of the window, thinking of her family again. She loved her family, so what did she do to deserve this? Nothing, so why should she be the one to lose her family in a car accident instead of some other kid?

This is not fair!

(Sango's house)

Sango just heard the door bell and quickly went downstairs to open the door. She wasn't really paying attention because she was listening to her CD player. When she opened the door, her mouth was wide open; she couldn't believe HE is at the door.

"Hey, want to go out on a date tonight? I was wondering because I really like you and I want you to know something. My second biggest secret! So what do you say?" Asked Miroku.

Sango used her hands to take off her head phones and had a confused look on her face. "What? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you, I was still listening to my music," said Sango.

Miroku was shocked. His eyes and mouth was wide, he just told her all of that stuff and she didn't hear a word of it! Should he tell her the whole thing again, or just ask her out? Tough decision for the Pervert Miroku!

"Aren't you going to tell me something?" Asked Sango.

"Oh, yeah..."

"Well?"

"I was wondering if you would like to go out on a date."

"When?"

"Is it a date?"

"That depends on when."

"Right now!"

"What?"

"Please?"

"Fine, I do have an early curfew any way."

"You do?"

"Yes, I have to be home at seven. Let me go upstairs and change."

Miroku was shocked once again. He never knew she had an early curfew. He just made that all up to Sesshomaru, except that her real curfew is seven, not six-thirty. He can't believe it's real. He was getting really hungry so he should take her out on a fast food restaurant.

He heard Sango coming downstairs, wearing a simple shirt and pants. He smiled and they went out. ( I wonder what will happen to them.)

(Sesshomaru's House)

He was just drinking his tea while reading a paper. Smoking for some reason. ( He seems to be like Shigure!) He was just reading the old stuff, sports, news...etc. But then he found something of what caught his eyes. It was an article on a family of three getting into a car accident about a week ago. "The wife was killed instantly; the husband who was driving was drunk died on the ambulance.

The little boy died at the hospital a few hours later. The little boy's older sister was there for him, but he didn't make it. After the doctors lost him, the older sister cried and cried with no one to support her or comfort her. She only cried the reporters tried to get something from her. But she only said: 'The only thing I'm saying is that I should've died in the car with them because I'm all alone right now!'"

"She wishes to die with them...?" Questioned Sesshomaru.

Just then, Sesshomaru heard a knock on the door, he put the cigarette in the ash tray, smashing it in the ash tray so it won't be lit. He put the paper down and stood up. He walked to the door and opened it. He couldn't believe what he say, his eyes were wide open and his hand that was on the door knob fell to his side.

It was Sango with a brown monkey in her arms...

"He told me to take him here!" Said Sango. She took her arms out, with Miroku in her, Miroku just stared at Sesshomaru. The next thing Sesshomaru did, he formed his hand into a fist and banged Miroku's head.

"What the hell is wrong with you, you idiot?" Asked Sesshomaru.

"Why did you have to hit me?" Asked Miroku.

"Because you revealed the most important thing to this whole family! You imbecile!"

"But..."

"Is that why you went out with her? To hug her so she could know about this!"

"What's going on?" Asked Sango.

Sesshomaru stopped banging Miroku's head and faced Sango. But that's when the pile of smoke appeared and Sango saw a naked Miroku. She quickly screamed and turned around.

After that, Sesshomaru told Sango everything. And also about how Kagome found out about this. Sango was very surprised. She didn't know what to do now. But Sesshomaru stood up and was heading to the door.

"Where are you going?" Asked Miroku, after when he got his clothes back on.

"I'm going to Akito, I'm not sure if he can handle another truth," answered Sesshomaru, and he left.

A few minutes has past after Sesshomaru left. Sango didn't know what to say to Miroku. But she sure wants to question him.

"How come you hugged me?" Asked Sango.

"Because I wanted you to find out, just like Inuyasha wanted Kagome to find out about this," answered Miroku.

"I don't get it."

"I care about you; I wanted you to find out about this. Inuyasha is different. He wanted someone to know besides Tohru, but he never wanted Kagome to find out about this. Ever since she found out, Inuyasha has been a little nicer to her for some reason."

"So you're the monkey, and Sesshomaru is the dragon or sea horse, then what is Inuyasha?"

"The dog."

"How cute!"

"You don't think the monkey is cute?"

"Well, I haven't been around monkeys yet but I have been around dogs a lot! I wonder...Hey Inuyasha! Can you come down here?"

"What are you doing?"

"I want to see what he looks like! Inuyasha!"

"Shut up! I heard you the first time! Let me come down!" They heard pounding coming down the stairs, when Inuyasha came to the living room, he saw Sango with a weird smile on her face. "What do you want?"

Sango had a bigger smile, she stood up. "This!" She ran to him and wrapped her arms around him. Inuyasha was shocked, that's when the pile of smoke occurred and Sango fell forward. But then Sango sat on her knees and looked at Inuyasha. She saw a white, black dog with golden eyes. She knew it was Inuyasha.

But that's when Sango held him really tight! "He's so CUTE!" Cried Sango.

"Hey woman-I can't breathe!"

(The Main House, Akito's)

"WHAT?" Screamed Akito.

"I knew you would act like this," said Sesshomaru.

"Another person has found out about the secret! Did she mean for it to happen?"

"No, he hugged her. It seems like he wanted her to find out about us."

"Akito, why don't we just erase the memories of the people who know about the secret who are outside of our family?" Asked Naraku.

Akito was so angry that he smashed a vase into pieces. Maybe he needs to take anger management class. Or maybe he just needs to sleep for a couple of days; maybe he should have his memories erased!

"No, I won't erase their memories yet. But if I hear about another person finding out the secret, I'll do more then erase their memories," said Akito.

"What would that be, Akito?" Asked Naraku.

"I'll tell all the Sohma's who has the curse tomorrow night. Contact all the Sohma's who have the curse, Naraku."

"Why me?"

"Hatori and Shigure would help if you don't get started."

"Fine! I will!" Naraku left the room and has left Akito with Sesshomaru there.

"Sesshomaru."

"Yes?"

"You tell Inuyasha and Miroku to come too. Of course you're going."

"I already know that. But why call up the people who have the curse? What are you thinking? You're not just going to erase their memories are you?"

"I'll tell you all tomorrow night. I'm tired of people find out about the curse."

"You're not thinking..."

"You don't know what I'm thinking. Leave before I decide to erase your memory."

Sesshomaru got up and started to leave. Things weren't good now. Something bad is going bad.
