The woman, starting to get into her plan, asks, "So Sango, how long have you been with your group?"

"About a year. Maybe two. I really like being with them, they're all nice, even with all their little quirks," replies Sango.

The woman stares into Sango's eyes for about ten seconds then asks, "How long have you loved a member of your group? It's in your eyes."

Sango, with an odd look on her face replies, "Oh, you must mean Miroku. Umm, I'd have to say….never! Why would you want to know anyway?"

The woman with a wide smirk on her face, replies, "Only because I deal with matters of love very well. Only last month I helped a young girl. But, never mind that, it's time to help you." The woman starts chanting and singing. After about ten seconds of listening to her chant, Sango passes out.

Sango awoke to the meows of Kirara. She looked around for the woman, but she was nowhere to be found. "Oh well. But I still wonder why I fell asleep…. Huh?" She looks at her hand and sees a black spot on her hand. She tries to wipe it away, but as her finger passed over the spot, she felt a tug. "Hmm. I wonder what this is." She then puts some dirt into her hand and watches it vanish. "Uh-oh. I have a bad feeling about this. Let's go Kirara." Kirara meows in acknowledgement.

She picks up her clothes from near the burnt-out fire and a note falls out of one of the pockets. The note reads, "Sango, I have placed a curse upon you to help your relationship along. Someone in your group knows how to deal with this. I'm only being so courteous because I feel for you. Anonymous."

"Well, now I know what this spot on my hand is, it's a Wind Tunnel. I was afraid of this." Sango says to Kirara. "Now I have to figure out who has gone through this in my group…" She remembers back to what the woman said, "Only last month I helped a young girl." Sango thinks to herself for a second and quickly realizes she meant Kagome. "Come on Kirara, we must hurry to Kagome."

They run to the village and look around for Kagome. They find her in the hut next door to Kaede's hut. Sango, out of breath, tells Kagome, "Kagome, I'm in trouble, I've been cursed by a woman in a black cloak and she indirectly said you may know something about ho to deal with it. Do you?"

Kagome replies, "Oh no. Do you remember last month when I was changed, well that was part of the curse placed upon, even though it did bring Inuyasha and I together. (giggles) But anyway, the only way to break the curse is to completely fall head-over-heals in love with the guy you love, which is most likely Miroku. (giggles) So what did the woman do to you?"

Looking at her hand, Sango replies, "She cursed me with a Wind Tunnel. I guess that is what she wanted to use to make Miroku and I get together. (shudders) But anyway, is that all she's using because I doubt that will get Miroku's attention."

"No, the curse will become progressively worse over time and since Miroku and Inuyasha are out looking for Naraku, I don't know how long it will take to break the curse. Luckily, Kaede took Shippo out, so we don't have to worry about them for a while," Kagome replies with a concerned look on her face.

Sango replied, "What's the worst that could happen…?" She'll regret the day she ever said that.


I know the chapters are short but they seem to cut off at the right point. R&R. Thx
