Chapter II

Seriously, I might have to re-write this entire fiction before I can update anymore. Seriously, if any readers have the documents saved to their computers, I am BEGGING you!

Disclaimer: i only own Sonshi. that's it...now quit looking at me that way. Lets continue with the story, alright?

A black raven soared calmly in the miasmic air that could choke any normal creature without special abilities. Her velvetty wings slowly flapped until she saw it. The castle. She swooped down gracefully and landed on the soft dirt quietly. At the second her scaly feet touched the dirt, a cloud of dark red and black grew over her and dispersed quickly as Sonshi appeared infront of her older sister. Kagura glared at the newest incarnation of Naraku, sighing. "Where have you been?" The wind sorceress demanded, fwapping out her black fan, bringing it up to her chin as she tapped the ground with her foot. Sonshi smiled.

"I've been playing with the monk."

Kagura sighed deeply, and brushed past the raven woman and yelled out. "I am done baby-sitting your newest incarnation, Naraku!" She called, and was soon answered by a swirling venomous cloud that was Naraku. He stepped out of the thick, choking miasma and smirked at his detatchment. She frowned at his sudden appearance and was about to leave when she found her body frozen in a stance. "What the...?" She asked herself, looking at her creator.

"Kagura." He muttered her name as he held out his and towards her. "I release you." His strong fingers curled away from a red glowing mass of meat that was her heart. It beat continuously without an owner. Suddenly, the wind sorceress fell forward as she regained control over her body.

She landed on the ground with a slight 'thump' and then stared up at Naraku, and then to his hand where nothing but air swirled around it. Her heart. Where was it? Her question was soon answered by the own feeling of her life sorce beating inside her chest. "Naraku?" She asked in wonderment, feeling where her heart beat. He looked down at her plainly.

"Leave this place..." He turned away from her as she stood up. "Before I change my mind." Kagura nodded and picked a feather out of her bun. The small thing grew to an enormous size until it stopped and the wind sorceress stepped upon it and flew off, staring back at him the entire time.

When she knew she was out of sight, she turned to face the front of the feather and finally realized it. She was free!

Sonshi stared up as did her creator, then she turned to Naraku confused. "Why have you set her free, my lord?" She asked, earning a strangely warm and calm look from his blood eyes. He walked towards her slowly, looking down slightly. He cupped a cold hand under her chin and looked into the same eyes that she shared with him. A smile spread across his face as he said the four words that Sonshi had dreaded.

"You have replaced her."

She followed her creator quickly through the dungeons and rooms in the large castel Naraku inhabited. They came to an abrupt halt when a large door, unlike the papryus stood infront of both of them. Naraku waited for a few seconds and slowly, it opened with a large creak. Sonshi was reluctant to step inside. It was too dark to see anything, and she was afraid of Naraku. She had seen what he had done to some men in there. Fearing her life if she didn't, Sonshi stepped inside the dark room.

It was pitch black until a single flare of light went up into her face where Naraku had lit a candle. It was then when she looked around the place and realized she was in a torture chamber. What had she done wrong! Knives and metal tools hung all around her, as did a few boxes of what she guessed was more, smaller ones. There was a small mallet by a fireplace where it would be heated and burned on flesh. Her skin tingled and her heart beat quickly inside her body. She was the only incarnation so far that had her own heart. You're not going to take my heart, are you? She wondered.

She could hear a little racket from behind her and decided it might be a rat. Naraku was nowhere in sight anymore. The candle sat on a little shelf in the room just lighting up a little area of vials and bottles.

"Sonshi."

The raven woman jumped in fright as she felt a hand upon her shoulder. Suddenly, she twisted around to come face to face with a sliver of what seemed to be black rock. Naraku held it up to her face, and then instructed her what to do the next time Miroku and her met...

Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, and Sango all hovered around the monk that seemed to be having a terrible nightmare. His body shook and sweat covered his body like he had jumped into a pool of water. His black hair came loose from its previous pony tail and spread over the crook of his neck and parts of his collar. Only pants covered his body as the top of his robes had been soaked with his own sweat. The wind tunnel was gone, seeing the prayer beads were thrown across the forest floor and his arm was free of the lavender arm brace. It was then when Inuyasha noticed something. "Kagome."

"What? What is it, Inuyasha?" She asked him, moving closer to the hanyou. He pointed to the left side of Miroku's neck where there were two puncture marks, only about an inch apart. Kagome crawled over to where the bite marks were and stared in astonishment. "Inuyasha... I think he was attacked by something. Or atleast bitten..." She said, inching her hand close to the holes.

"Keh. Miroku might be stupid but he's not weak. I think he was just the victim of a demon in the form of a woman, dont you think?" He suggested clueless to Sango's upset experssion. Kagome stared at Sango.

"Inuyasha...sit boy." She said plainly as the hanyou was smashed into the ground as the rosary took power over his soul. Kagome turned to Sango again. "He probably just had an accident or something. Miroku's not like that kind of person." She tried to manage a smile out of the demon slayer.

Slowly, eyes opened, staring straight up at the luminous sky. Shippo was the first to realize it. "You guys, Miroku woke up!" The friends rushed to his side as he looked around confused. He didn't seem alert at all. The tiny fox demon crawled over to Miroku and tapped his forehead. "Miroku. It's us, there's nothing wrong."

Shippo...I-I cant feel my body...

Miroku struggled to stand as he pushed off the ground, closing his eyes. I'm not doing this, I-I don't have control over my body! His mouth opened as if to say something, but the only thing anyone heard was a harsh gasp and strange look. I can't speak! I cant move it on my own--it must be somebody else! He wobbled over to Sango in a drunken posture and then collapsed onto her front, causing them both to fall to the ground.

"Miroku, what the hell?" Inuyasha asked as he saw Sango's confused expression.

"Miroku...g-get off of me!" She screamed as he leaned in close to her face as if he were about to kiss her. Suddenly, she pushed him away with as much force as throwing the Hiraikotsu. His body was limp and fell to the ground as if he were a rag doll or noodle. Slowly, his body stood up wobbling once again. He wobbled over to Inuyasha and then did the same thing he did to Sango as the two fell to the ground together.

"Get off of me!" Inuyasha pushed the limp body off of him as he stood up. This time, the monk didn't move, or even seem to breathe. He stared at the ground with his eyes half pried open as if he were paralyzed. Kagome stared at Inuyasha, then shook her head at the dumb hanyou. Sango went over to Miroku, and brushed hsi cheek with her hand, trying to get a reaction out of him.

If only I could move my body...

Miroku thought, disappointed at the time his body had to fail him. Sango was right there! And she was carressing hisface! If he could smile, he would havea long time ago. "He must've been poisoned slightly. I dont recognize it, but I'm sure it's nothing that could hurt him." Sango stated, bringing the attention back from Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo.

He followed the shrill sound of a raven screaming into a clearing that almost seemed to be touched by sheer evil. It was night again, and only two days past the time when he was bitten by the vampire like woman. The slight paralysis had worn off after a few hours and he regained his strength. The group had begun looking for Naraku, but they found no trace of him. And Miroku spoke nothing of what had happened with Sonshi. Earlier he had left the rest to go as he said, 'To find some firewood' for their camp.

As Miroku came closer to the raven's call, it became so loud to his sensitive ears, that it felt as if the cubicles inside them were being fried. Miroku covered his ears, groaning to the sound of his enemy's screaming. As if by his wishes, the horrid sound dispersed into the air as a raven landed near the monk's feet. Miroku just stared down at it, not really knowing why it was there. "Why, hello there." he said, leaning down to it. To his astonishment, the bird didn't move, it just let him pet her feathers. All of a sudden, she remembered something.

'Naraku...' his name rang in her mind as she remembered her task. 'Implant this shard into our monk's body, which will make his spirit ours.' Naraku had said to her before sending her off to do the job she was assigned. The raven then had to escape Miroku's hands and using her wings, she waved them near the dirt, making it fly up into his face. Miroku coughed and brushed dirt from his eyes as the raven flew behind a large patch of bushes.

After trying to rub all the sand and dirt particles out of his eyes, Miroku saw Sonshi appear before his eyes. Through blurry vision, he was sure the raven transformed into the incarnation. "So...we meet again, Miroku..." Sonshi's voice seemed to hiss. The monk, as smart as he was turned to leave, but was stopped when flames went up right infront of his face. Miroku immediately stepped back when he saw a ring of fire surround him and Sonshi.

"What do you want...?" Miroku demanded, holding his staff out, pointing to Sonshi's chest. She just smiled mysteriousley and chuckled.

"You know what I want..." just like the feeling of being burnt, the bite marks on Miroku's neck stung horribly. He groaned, holding his neck with his left hand, falling to his knees. Sonshi cocked her head to the side and without using her feet, she zoomed to eye level with him.

"What did you do to me!" Miroku yelled, bring his left hand, seeing and feeling fresh, warm blood.

Sonshi just smiled, "I did not do anything; it is my power inside your blood that is burning right now. It's calling your dark spirit out."

"I do not have a dark spirit." Miroku shook his head as Sonshi circled him very closely.

"Really...?" she leaned very close to his right ear and hissed, "Is that you or your dark side talking...hmm...?" Miroku shook his head more and tightened his right hand into a fist.

"I do not have a dark spirit!" Miroku yelled, throwing his fist at her, wanting to destroy her with a sutra he pulled out of his gi. Instead of them exorcizing her, the spell scrolls burnt his hands like fire and he immediately threw them down.

"You can no longer resist the power of holy men anymore. You are becoming a dark one; just like Naraku and I." then, as she pulled out the dark shard, Miroku realized she was another incarnation.

"Naraku..."

He repeated. But just before he could move, he felt another pain in his neck. It didn't burn, it felt like his blood was boiling and about to explode as the dark shard was implanted in his neck. Sonshi just chuckled deeply inside her throat. "I keep on telling you that Naraku and I are gaining control over your body, and now...you are ours..." her voice trailed off as he no longer felt her presence. The ring of fire surrounding him just disappeared in the air, not leaving any burnt ashes. The pain in his neck was gone, and it looked as if nothing had happened.

"I've gotta stop going places on my own," Miroku mumbled, getting up. But a random spasm over his body made his mind feel shocked by electricity. He stumbled back and figured he got up too fast. But as he stood, he no longer had control over his body and his knees buckled, causing him to fall the ground again, unconscious.

Okay, so that's the second chapter of the soon to be about 10-15 chapters of this story. I seriously don't know, though. Just I need your (reviewers and readers) Help! Please R&R and tell me what you think about the revisions!
