Sango lie in her bed that night. She couldn't get to sleep. Who could? She was kidnapped by a bunch of mercenaries! She rolled over onto her side and frowned.
There was a light coming from the hallway. Sango slowly got up and opened her door and looked down the hall. The light was coming from a room.
As Sango got closer she could hear moaning coming from the room. She looked and saw Suikotsu rolling on the floor in agony.
"Umm… Suikotsu?" Sango asked. "Are you alright?"
But Suikotsu could only let out a cry of pain. Sango slowly tried to approach him. This was not normal, even for him. Something was definitely wrong with him.
Suddenly he sprung up and slashed his claws at her. Sango dodged it and made a break to the door but Suikotsu beat her to it. He stood there blocking her only way out.
Sango could see Suikotsu's eyes were glowing bright red. There was no doubt about it, he was possessed by a demon.
Normally, this wouldn't be a problem for Sango. She had dealt with many villagers being possessed. But they weren't bloodthirsty mercenaries.
Suikotsu dived and slashed at Sango again. This time, Sango wasn't able to dodge. He hit Sango and they both went bursting through the wall and ended up outside.
Sango scrambled to her feet and clutched her bleeding arm. Suikotsu got up and began inching toward her, his claws ready to strike.
Suikotsu slashed at her a few more times. Sango lied on the ground, unable to get up. Just as Suikotsu was about to strike, Bankotsu came from nowhere and blocked it.
"Suikotsu!" he shouted. "What the hell are you doing!"
Suikotsu only growled and tried to claw at Bankotsu. Bankotsu easily dodged it.
Sango began looking around for a demon charmer. She knew there had to be one near by. Then she saw it, sitting up on the roof.
She forced herself to get up and ran over to the demon. It leaped into he air and out of Sango's reach.
"I didn't think you were the type to betray us Suikotsu!" Bankotsu shouted. He lifted his Banryuu and was about to strike.
"Wait Bankotsu!" Sango cried. "Suikotsu is possessed by a demon charmer!"
Bankotsu looked at her strangely. "A demon what?"
Sango caught up with the demon and revealed her hidden blade. With one quick slash, the demon was destroyed.
Suikotsu's eyes returned to normal and he fell to the ground as the demon spirit left him.
Sango helped Bankotsu take Suikotsu back inside.
"It's OK," Bankotsu told her "I got it. Besides, you're badly wounded."
"I'm fine." Sango said, trying not to show how much pain she was in. She put one of Suikotsu's arms around her neck, and Bankotsu took the other arm.
Sango quietly winced at her wounds as they walked down the hall. There was a trail of blood behind her.
As soon as they reached Suikotsu's room, Sango set him down and went to her room. She sat down and began bandaging her wounds. Bankotsu came by to make sure she was OK.
"I can handle a few wounds." Sango told him. She felt a little uncomfortable as he watched her bandage her wounds. "Do you need something?" she asked him.
"Huh? No, I was just wondering… how do you know all of this stuff? Like when Suikotsu was possessed, or that there was a demon charmer near by?"
"I grew up in the demon slayers village." Sango explained, as she finished bandaging her last cut. "I've dealt with things like that before."
(A.N) Short chapter, I know. But yeah it gets more interesting in the next few chapters. Sango and Bankotsu fluuf, and Miroku comes! Horror Music I'll probably update tomorrow.
