Chappie # 10

The end?

The bell rang, so the game begins.

Sango and Miroku tore their gazes away from each other and shifted it towards the door. It was time. They had to solve the mystery that plagued their minds, what did Naraku have in store for them? It has been a week and yet there has been no sign of Naraku on the island. Where was he?

"Miroku? We have to go." Said Sango. She had a worried expression plastered on her face.

"Remember Sango, there are no rules to this game. We can use that to our advantage so do what ever you have to do." Sango nodded and both began to dress. Slipping through the door, the last few remaining people gathered, Koga, Kagura, Shippo, Sango and Miroku.

"Okay, here's the plan. You all know what is behind the wooden shoji right? Well, I'm sure that Shippo has told you all. When what ever is coming for us this time we must split up and destroy the monsters. It's pretty much 'every man for himself' now in this situation that we're in. This isn't going to be over until sunrise and that is exactly how long it's gonna take for us to solve this problem." Stated Miroku. Many heads nodded in agreement.

It was dark out on the balcony. It was chilly too. The wind steadily blew and rattled the leaves on the pine and oaks. All the while the lamplights flickered and swayed with the hum of the wind. Far off I the distance the sound of moaning floorboards can be heard crying in the night. A hush blanketed the group as they waited.

The waiting came to an end.

Looking up at the full moon figures appeared. Their faces were blocked by the shadow cast from the moon. As they came closer the group squinted their eyes to clear the images coming forth.

They were grotesque. Worm like. They writhed their flesh colored wings and wiggled their short stubble like bodies. Large blood shot bulging eyes shifted from side to side anxiously. Dilated pupils settled on the group.

"Oh my… I hate bugs." Mumbled Koga in a dumb founded voice. The largest bug youkai's mouth opened wide and revealed several rows of yellow dagger like teeth saturated with blood that corroded its probably once pearly white fangs. Drool dripped off from the side of its mouth.

"Every one split up!" Miroku yelled out. Every one sprinted their own ways. "Sango you're coming with me." Miroku grabbed for Sango's hand and dragged her down a flight of steps. While running both grabbed metal sticks that they happened to pass by. Turning around to the three of the bug youkai that followed them they swung the metal object and struck them down. As they squealed and writhed, Miroku and Sango stood over the mounds of flesh. Sango looked down and grabbed another stick. Miroku and Sango quickly pierced them through the heart with the sticks.

The youkai's eyes flickered out and the red eyes dulled leaving a glassy look behind. Pulling the sticks out they realized something was happening. The bodies, they were throbbing and glowing a faint blue color. What was happening?

"Miroku, run behind that corner!" Running behind the corner that Sango pointed towards Sango ran behind it also. They peaked over the sides to determine what was going to happen next. When they was about to turn the bodies burst. Slimy green ooze flung out everywhere catching Miroku in the arm of his robes. It sizzled and cackled leaving a large black burned hole in the sleeve. There were holes left all around the floors and walls too.

"Lets go." Miroku grabbed Sango by the hands and led her down another corridor. One by one they heard screams echo through out the house. Did the others get captured already? Worry flickered in both of their eyes as the glimpsed the wooden shoji door. It was now that was mystery was going to unfold.

Narrowing his eyes Miroku reached out and slammed the door open. Kami what they saw was horrific.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha… I see that you two have finally come." Naraku said as a tentacle plunged into Kagura's chest and pulled out her beating heart. A terrified look dawned on her face until her eyes finally closed in silence. "Kagura!" Sango yelled and reached out.

A/N: Yes I know this was a very short chappie but I felt lazy and that I should keep everybody in suspense. Once again I am very sorry for taking so long to update. I didn't have any time to.
