Two to Love
Ch. 10
The Strong will Fall
"Here drink this, you be thirsty by now."
She shook stubbornly and looked away denying her own desires to drink with the fear of poison. It had been two days since her capture as Sango currently found herself bound by her wrists and ankles in the sickening dungeon of Naraku's castle.
The walls were thickly coated with grease and ash while debris littered the sludge-covered floor. A foul odor like that of decaying flesh oozed from the walls making it difficult to breathe.
"Do not be afraid, Sango. My master, the one you call Naraku, has no desire to kill you as of now."
The boy held the drink up to her parched lips, but she only knocked it away with her shoulder as her arms were bound behind her. The boy watched emotionlessly as the cool liquid quietly flowed into the grimy filth on the dungeon floor. "You should not waste water. It is hard to come by at this elevation."
A demonic presence covered in baboon skin appeared beside the boy, "So sad it is that you can not trust your own brother." He stood a moment later and both he and the young demon slayerleftSango alone in her cell.
'That girl is a feisty one. She is quiet unlike her companion who only sits quietly in a corner and meditates.'
Sango sat quietly passing the time with only thoughts and memories to amuse her. Movement would only cause her to waist precious energy that she could not afford to loose. She lowered her head as the painful and long forgotten memories began to flood her mind.
"Kohaku, what are you doing here? You should be back inside the village."
He jogged lightly to catch up with his older sister. "I know, but there is something that I want to talk to you about."
Sango smiled at her little brother kindly, "What is it and can't it wait?"
He shook his head and looked at her sadly, "Sango, I don't want to fight demons. I'm afraid of them."
Sango was shocked for a moment before a warm smile crept over her face. She bent down to his level and carefully looked him in the eye, "Kohaku, everyone is afraid of something."
Kohaku was shocked at her words, "Youdon't mean that. You aren't afraid of anything."
"Of course I am Kohaku, but that doesn't mean I have to let my fears weigh me down. Bravery means that even though you are afraid, you still go and fight your fears so that in time you may overcome them. Otherwise, the weight of your uncertainties will only get heavier and heavier until it overpowers you."
She stood up and patted him on the head, "We should head back to the village now. Father will be worried." Standing, she began to walk away.
"S-Sango, what are you afraid of?" Kohaku looked at his feet as he began to follow his sister.
The demon exterminator stopped and smiled at her younger brother, "Why loosing you of course."
A tear quietly rolled down her cheek as the exhausted girl rested her head on the wall behind her. She slowly began to drift off to sleep as her eyelids gently slid shut.
"I must be…brave."
"Still not eating Miroku?"
Miroku did not look up at the demon that now stood before him, "Kagura, to what do I owe for this unexpected visit?"
"It's been eight days since your last meal. Surely even you are hungry."
He smirked, "I can go far longer then eight days."
"Oh cut the crap already. You're starting to give me a headache." Miroku raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
"I have an offer for you…"Shehesitated,"Should you find someway to escape with that girl from Naraku's clutches, I request that in doing so you also free myself and my sister Kanna."
"And what reason would I for even to consider doing so?"
"I shall grant you the freedom from that curse that Naraku has bestowed on your family generations ago. I can heal that accursed hole in your hand."
Miroku laughed insanely at this, "You heal me. Don't be absurd."
Kagura was unfazed as she calmly continued, "Since I am a sorceress of the wind, by powers enable me to control any wind. Given enough time, it is possible that I can permanently seal off your vortex."
Miroku was laughing hysterically now kicking his feat into the air like a child as another bout of giggles overpowered him. Sighing, Kagura quietly left him deciding it best that she only return when he was in a sane condition.
'The lack of food and the evil aura is slowly starting killing him. At this rate,it will be in his death bed in a matter of days. I must act quickly least I turn them over to the grave.'
She spotted Kohaku leaving Sango's cell, Narku beside him. Waiting until their self proclaimed master left, She approached the emotionless boy."Kohaku, does the girl still refuses to eat." He looked into the cell that he had just left, "She is sleeping now, but she still will not speak to me. Now she has started to refuse even water to drink."
"They are slowly killing themselves."
"Yes…" Kohaku whispered, "They will be seeing theirdeath by tomorrow."
