Naraku and Koga sat outside in a bush in front of Sango's home. Narkau pushed the branches out of his veiw and smiled. Naraku was dressed in formal clothing along with Koga. He had his long black hair tied back, and made sure he looked perfect. Koga appeared in front of Naraku and chuckled.
"Heh! Oh boy! Sango gonna get the suprise of her life, huh Naraku?" Koga smiled.
"Yep. This is her lucky day." Naraku beamed.
Naraku let's go of the branch he was holding up, letting it swing back and smack Koga in the face leaving leaves in his mouth. Naraku steps up to a band, wedding guest and others, apparently out of sight of Sango's hut. Naraku smirked at his suprise proposal and wedding.
"I'd like to thank you all for coming to my wedding. But first, I better go in there and...propose to the girl!" Naraku laughed.
Everyone laughs along with Naraku as some of the village girls begin to cry over there lose of Naraku's heart. Naraku slowly turns to Koga and points at him.
"Now, you Koga. When Sango and I come out that door..."
"Oh I know, I know!" Koga says turning to the band. "I strike up the band!"
Koga says as he starts the band as they start to play the music to "Here Comes the Bride." Naraku quickly hits Koga over the head with one of the insterments.
"Not yet!" He shouted at Koga.
"Sorry!" Koga said as he rubbed his head and looked away.
Sango was sitting on the ground waxing her Hiraikotsu when Naraku knocked on the side of the hut. She sets it to the side and walks over to the door and peeks out through a hole in the wall Kohaku had made for her to see through before she were to walk outside. She saw Naraku and growned and slowly move the hanging grass only for Naraku to walk in without her permission.
"Naraku, what a pleasant...surprise." She says making a face.
"Isn't it though? I'm just full of surprises. You know, Sango, there's not a girl in this village who wouldn't love to be in your shoes. This is the day..." Naraku passes a bucket of water and makes sure he looks perfect. "This is the day your dreams come true."
Sango backs up away from Naraku as he came towards her.
"And what do you know about my dreams, Naraku?" She asked with an annoyed tone.
"Plenty. Here, picture this." Naraku smirks.
Naraku sits down and throws his muddy boots on her Hiraikotsu, and starts kicking off his boots and wiggling his toes as Sango plugged her nose.
"A rustic hunting lodge, my latest kill roasting on the fire, and my little wife, massaging my feet." He says wiggling his toes again. "While the little ones play with the dogs. We'll have six or seven." Naraku smiled.
"Dogs?" Sango hoped.
"No, Sango! Strapping young boys, like me!" Naraku said standing up full of pride.
"Imagine that." Sango said rolling her eyes and wipping off her Hiraikotsu, then let's it stand against the wall.
"And do you know who that wife will be?" He asked following her.
"Let me think..."
Naraku quickly corners Sango against the wall looking down at her.
"You, Sango!" Naraku says getting close to her face.
Sango quickly ducked under Naraku's arms and runs to the front of the hut backing up.
"Naraku, I'm speechless. I really don't know what to say." Sango said.
Naraku pushes a small chair out of the way as he makes his way towards Sango. Once he gets close to her he corners her against the door frame.
"Say you'll marry me." Naraku said as he tried to kiss her.
"I'm very sorry, Naraku, but I just don't deserve you." Sango said moving out of the way.
Naraku tummbles out the door and into the mud. To where only his butt was not covered in mud. Koga imedently began the band when the door first flew open. Sango moved the grass door and threw out Naraku's boots, and blocked the doorway. Koga continues the band then notices Naraku in the mud. He quickly cuts off the band as the head of a pig pops up. A second later Naraku's head popped up with the pig on top of his head. He tilts his head and the pig slides down his back, and he looks at Koga.
"So, how'd it go?" Koga asked knowing how it went.
Koga may have done almost every thing that Naraku asked, but he even knew Sango would never settle for someone as ignorate as Naraku. Naraku stands up and grabs Koga by the front of his wolf demon armor.
"I'll have Sango for my wife, make no mistake about that." Naraku growled as he threw Koga into the mud.
"Touchy!" Koga whines as the pig grunted with agreement.
Koga enjoyed it when Naraku didn't get his way, but he hated that Naraku would take his anger out of him. Naraku walks off, dejected, as he wipes the mud off his face. Sango sighs and slowly pokes her head out the door.
"Is he gone?" She asked looking at some of the chickens her and Kohaku owned. "Can you imagine, he asked me to marry him. Me, the wife of that boorish, brainless...jerk!" She said talking to the animals in the pen.
"Lady Naraku, can't you just see it! His little wife." She groans. "No not me, I guarantee it. I want more in life, adventure, freedom, and to find someone I actually want to marry."
Sango turns to the back to the hut and run abit ways into the forest before coming to a meandow with a long river that passes through the mountains near by. Sango looked around and sighed.
"I want someone to understand me...I want more than what I am seeing now...I want a man who loves a woman who can fight..." She sighed as she slowly sat down and picked the white flowers she and her brother loved.
A horse cries as Takuto comes running at her.
"Takuto?" She asked running to him. "What are you doing here? Where's Kohaku? Where is he, Takuto? What happened.?" She asked as she brought him to the hut. "Oh, we have to find him, you have to take me to him!"
Sango quickly ran inside grabbing her Hiraikotsu and ran out and jumped on Takuto after unhooking the machine. She wrapped a hooded cap around herself as they rode off into the forest. Later that evening they arrived at the entrance to the village. She looked at the gloomy temple and hesitated for a moment. Sango slowly climbs off Takuto and looked around.
"What is this place?" Sango asked looking around.
Takuto snorted, then began to back up as if something was scaring him. Sango softly coos him.
"Takuto, please, steady." Sango said looking at the horse.
As they reach the front gates a small stable was to the side. Sango placed Takuto there so he wouldn't run off and entered the temple gates. As she entered she saw a piece of Kohaku's clothing that the wolves had ripped off around his boot.
"Kohaku." She said looking at the temple.
Inside the temple Myoga was jumping around Miroku discussing what happened the day before.
"Couldn't keep quiet, could we. Just had to invite him to stay, didn't we? Serve him tea, sit in the master's chair, pet the cat." Myoga complained.
"I was trying to be hospitable. I am a monk after all." Miroku fought back.
As they fought a room some place in the temple, Sango walked in the front of the temple doors.
"Hello? Is anyone here? Hello? Kohaku?" She asked as she got to the stair case and slowly started to climb the stairs. "Kohaku? Kohaku are you here?"
Sango climbed the floors looking for her brother or anyone for that matter. In the kitchen the young fox kit ran to the elderly lady that was washing some of the other village children in a tub.
"Kaede, there's a girl in the temple!" He shouted running over to her.
"Now, Shippo, I won't have ye making up such wild tales." She said as she shooed the other children away.
"But really, Kaede, I saw her." Shippo continued.
Kaede sighed and picked Shippo up taking his clothes off.
"Not another word. Into the tub." She said placing him in there and washing him.
Just then a girl came running in.
"Kaede!" She called.
"Aye Kagome what is it?" Kaede asked looking at her.
"There's another girl in the temple! And she is not from the village!" Kagome said looking at her.
Shippo popped his head out of the water and spat some out.
"See, I toooold ya!" He beamed happy he had been right.
By now Miroku tired of Myoga's squabaling and headed out into the hall. Myoga following after him as Miroku mocked every word he said.
"Irresponsible, devil-may-care, waxed eared, slack-jawed..." Myoga continued.
"Kohaku?" Sango said interupting them and walked pasted them.
"Did you see that?" Miroku asked running to the end of the corner and looking down the hall with Myoga. "It's a girl!"
"I know it's a girl." Myoga said annoyed.
Miroku smiled and followed her with Myoga at foot.
"Don't you see? She's the one. The girl we have been waiting for. She has come to break the spell!" Miroku smiled.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Myoga shouts.
Miroku quietly sneaks up behind Sango and opens a sliding door she passed. He quickly slipped in as Sango turned hearing the door move.
"Kohaku? Kohaku?" She say walking in as Myoga hides behind the door and Miroku rushes down the corridor in the shadows to where Sango couldn't see him. "Hello? Is someone here? Wait! I'm looking for my brother!" She called chasing the shadow figure.
Sango climbs the stairs to a tower after seeing the light from a candle Miroku lit half way up the stairs. Miroku left the candle on a ledge and hid in a small room next to the ledge. Sango slowly turned the corner to see the candle on the ledge that lead to a dungeon tower.
"That's funny, I'm sure there was someone...i...i...is there anyone here?"
"Sango?" Kohaku's voice echoed through the cell.
Sango ran to the cell that was holding Kohaku dropping her Hiraikotsu, and grabbed his hands.
"Oh Kohaku!" She cried with delight to see her dear brother.
"How did you find me sister?" Kohaku asked as he coughed.
"Oh, your hands are like ice. We have to get you out of here." Sango said trying to see how to open the cell.
"Sango, I want you to leave this place."
"Who's done this to you?"
"No time to explain. You must go...now!" Kohaku warned her.
"I won't leave." Sango said.
Just then Sango was grabbed by her shoulder spining her around as a roar was set through the tower, and the candle blew out.
"Run sister!" Kohaku shouted.
"What are you doing here?" The figure growled.
"Who's there? Who are you?' Sango asked looking around in the dark where only a little light shined.
"The master of this temple!" He roared again.
"I've come for my brother. Please let him out! Can't you see he's sick?" Sango begged.
"Then he shouldn't have trespassed here."
"But he could die. Please, I'll do anything."
"There is nothing you can do. He's my prisoner." The figure said walking away.
"Oh, there must be some way I can...wait!" Sango called as she held her hand out for him to stop.
The figure slowly turned around just barely looking over his shoulder as his golden-amber eyes reflected off the small amount of light.
"Take me, instead!" Sango said looking at him dropping to her knees.
"You!" He growled then slowly his tone became soft as if he was shocked. "You would...take his place?"
"No Sango! You don't know what you're doing!" Kohaku begged.
"If I did, would you let him go?" Sango asked looking at the golden-amber eyes that now stared at her.
"Yes, but you must promise to stay here forever." He said slowly.
Sango slowly starts to thing about the situation then notices that she hasn't seen the man other than his eyes. She slowly tilts her head and squinces her eyes trying to see him in the dark.
"Come into the light." Sango asked still looking at him.
Slowly the figure stepped into the light. His silver hair glistened as the light hit it as his dog ears perked up. He wore his red kimono with a sword strapped to his side. His long hair fall past he rump, and his face seemed to be filled with anger yet seemed to be confused in a way. Sango's eyes widen and she turns to Kohaku realizing he was a half demon.
"No, sister. I won't let you do this!" Kohaku shouted.
Sango slowly stands up regaining her composure and steps into the light with the young half demon as it gave her a very innocent look.
"You have my word." Sango said with her eye closed.
"Done!" He shouted.
Sango covered her face and fell to the ground. The half demon unlocked Kohaku's cell and he ran to her hugging her.
"No, Sango. Listen to me. I will be fine don't worry about me..." Kohaku tried to convince her out of it.
The young man grabbed Kohaku by his shirt and pulled him away from Sango. He dragged Kohaku away with yelling for him to wait only for him to ignore her. He pulls Kohaku to the front of the temple and whisles.
"No please spare my sister!" Kohaku begged.
"She's no longer your concern." He said knocking Kohaku out.
The small cat demon showed up at that moment. She transformed in to a giant sabor tooth cat. He threw Kohaku on her back gowling.
"Take him to the nearest village, Kirara." He ordered the cat.
Kirara was the only creature other than Takuto, which he had no knoledge of, that was not bound by the spell only because she came to the village months after the spell had been casted. He growled as he walked back into the temple making his way to the tower.
