Here's chapter 10... I've been writing in class...again... enjoy! I have 1 paragraph of the next chappy written, but it will take time before its done (unless I keep procrastinating in my school work that is...) I still have all my other stories to write ...geez, I'm stressing myself out for nothing here... (Smiles)

Chapter 10: Winds Of Change

"Oh no! The wind tunnel!" Cried Sango in shock as she watched Miroku screaming in pain and fear on the floor.

"Hurry up! Find the beads Miroku!" Said Shippo as he ran around in circles.

"I'm looking! They're in here somewhere!" Said Miroku as he dug through his pockets. His right hand moved around like an out of control hose.

"Midoru! Get the younger ones out of here!" Said Sango.

"Ok!" replied Midoru as he lead his younger siblings outside.

The walls of the hut started to sway from side to side and the boards stared to crack. The hole in Miroku's hand grew bigger and bigger and the sucking wind got stronger and stronger. In a matter of seconds, the walls finally gave in and collapsed.

The broken boards of the hut and everything inside, except for Sango, Zoria, Shippo and Néo, who were crouching on the floor, was sucked in the hole in Miroku's hand.

Zoria had a hard time believing what she was seeing. His hand acted very much like a vacuum. She gripped to the floor tightly with her claws, using her new strength to avoid being lifted by the strong sucking wind.

she screamed as she was lifted off the ground. Her fear accelerated with the beat of her heart. Shit! I'll be sucked in for sure! She closed her eyes, screaming louder that a train horn, scared of what it was like once sucked into the mysterious wind tunnel.

She heard everything go silent and the strong wind stopped pushing her around. She was falling. She crashed onto the ground, landing on some splinters and slid for quite some distance.

"Found it!" Said Miroku in an exhausted manner, as he fastened the beads on his arm.

"Are you ok, Zoria?" Asked someone.

Zoria opened her eyes. Midoru held her in his arms carrying a concerned look on his face. She felt a hand stroke her behind.

"Hands off me you hentai! I can take care of myself very well, thank you!"

Kirara stood nearby, in her enlarged form, shielding the younger children.

"Are you ok, Miroku?" Asked Sango worriedly.

"I'm just fine, Sango, no need to worry about me!" Reassured Miroku.

"H-how did it stop?" Asked Zoria in confusion.

"Oh you mean the wind tunnel?... oh, this hand has always been cursed. The only way to stop the wind tunnel from working are these beads... I wonder why its back though... the curse ended as soon as Naraku was defeated... " explained Miroku. Kirara growled at the sound of Naraku's name.

"Naraku?" Zoria was still overwhelmed by all the strange happenings that happened.

"The only way that Miroku's curse could return is if Naraku is alive, since he put the curse upon Miroku's grand-father over 65 years ago..."

"Then if he put the curse upon his grand-father, why does Miroku have it?" Asked Zoria.

"The curse was set that it would be carried on from generation to generation until Naraku gets defeated." Explained Sango.

"But it's impossible for the wind tunnel to return! We defeated Naraku with Kagome and Inuyasha, remember?" Said Shippo.

"We know Shippo." Said Miroku as he stared at his right hand. "That's what makes this all strange."

"Whoa! What the hell happened here?" Exclaimed a passing villager.

"Yeah, it looks like a tornado passed by Miroku-san's home!" Exclaimed another one.

A small group of nearby villagers gathered around the rubble, curious about the previous happenings.

"Maybe she did it!" Said an angry villager pointing towards Zoria.

"After her!" All villagers headed towards Zoria, ready to attack her with their shovels, garden tools , and even their own hands.

"No! Wait! She didn't do it!" Cried Shippo.

"Kill that demon!... how dare you attack innocent people you beast!"

"No! Shippo's right... the girl had-------" said Sango.

"So you want to fight me?" Said Zoria to the angry villagers, cutting Sango off. Zoria heald the Tetsaiga, ready to wield it.

"Don't do it! Zoria! You idiot!" Yelled Shippo. "Besides, you can't even wield that thing properly!"

"Just watch me!" Said Zoria as she pulled out the Tetsaiga. As soon as it was out of its sheath, she was immediately pulled down by its weight. The villagers jaws dropped in awe at the colossal sword Zoria held.

"Get one step closer to Miroku and the others and I'll slice you all to oblivion!" Said Zoria, with slight over-confidence.

"Heh... Are you kidding demon? It doesn't look like you can even lift that thing!"

"Yeah! I'd like to see you try!"

"Oh yeah?" Zoria was ready to attack them. "HAAAAAAA!" Zoria was now ready to strike.

"Stop that now, Zoria! You don't know what your getting yourself into!" Commanded Néo.

"Idiot!" Said Shippo.

Zoria lifted the sword slightly charged towards the angry villagers who were ready to defend themselves with their shovels and garden tools. The Tetsaiga flew out of Zoria's hand, shrinking to its normal size, standing straight in the sand as Zoria tripped on a root that sticked out of the ground. Zoria fell on her back.

"You're pathetic!" Said one of the vilagers as they all stopped.

"We were wrong for blaming you for this, sorry." Said another one. They all went back to what they were doing before, minding their own business.

"You better be sorry for blaming me like that!" Said Zoria, now sitting down shaking her fist at the escaping villagers.

"Zoria! You idiot! What were you thinking?" Said Shippo as he rushed to her aid.

"I was simply trying to protect you guys from these rabid villagers!"

"But they're harmless!"

"Harmless? You call that harmless? Did you see how they came after me like that? They came after me like I was some kind of menacing demon or something!"

"You ARE a demon!"

"A quarter demon!.. besides, they jumped to conclusions without knowing what was going on?"

They kept on arguing for a while. It started to sound like something like this:

"Well, you have dog ears on your head"

"Yeah? Well you have a fox tail! Beat that!"

"Guys! Can you PLEASE cut it out! Wether you have dog ears of fox tails doesn't matter at the moment!" Ordered Sango in irritation.

"Yeah... we need to know why the curse has returned to my hand." Said Miroku.

just then, a silhouette swooped by and took the Tetsaiga.

"The Tetsaiga!" Cried Zoria in worry. "Shit! My dad will kill me if he discovers that I lost it!"

Kirara suddenly swooped underneath Zoria, pushing her onto her back, and started flying after the mysterious shadow that took the Tetsaiga.

Zoria was confused.

First, I'm mysteroiusly brought here, then a hole appears in that guys hand and almost sucks eveything around it up, and now a flying cat who can grow and shrink?

"Kirara!" Said Sango.

"Zoria!" Cried Shippo.

What will happen next? Well, wait and see... will update as soon as I can... I'm not guaranteeing a soon update though... don't be afraid to give me suggestions... And don't forget to REVIEW! desperate?... Nah!... (smiles)
