Chapter 2: The Curse (Revised)
An hour later the Inu gang decided to stop, checking out the small village they had arrived at.
“It looks deserted.” Miroku said as they slowly made their way into the empty village.
“Hmm, wonder where everybody is?”
“Something's here, I can smell it.” Inuyasha snarled, his sharp golden eyes roaming picking up every detail of his surroundings, watching for any suspicious movements.
“This is creepy, it's like a ghost town.”
Kagome shuddered, taking a small step closer to Inuyasha.
Just then, she felt something jump onto her shoulder and without looking; she started to scream bloody murder. Turning around, Inuyasha unsheathed the Tetsusaiga. Intent on a fight, he looked for the person who dared lay a hand on his Kagome. All he saw was Shippou on her shoulder. Snickering, he re-sheathed his sword.
“Kagome stop that, it's only Shippou!”
Kagome stopped screaming. She looked at her shoulder seeing a laughing Kitsune kit, then looks back at a smirking Inuyasha.
“Stop looking at me like that! I thought it was something else.” Turning to Shippou, Kagome says, “Shippou don't ever scare me like that again! Especially in a creepy place like this!” She shuddered.
“Sorry Kagome I didn't mean it.” Shippou said, the guilt shining in his eyes.
“It's okay Shippou. Just don't do it again.”
Kagome patted Shippou on the head, smiling.
“You're so stupid sometimes I can't believe a little thing like that scared you!” Inuyasha retorted, starting to laugh.
Hurt danced in her eyes, soon replaced with blazing anger. Snickering, Inuyasha was unaware of the death glare leveled at him by Kagome.
“Sit boy!” thud!
“What the fuck? You stupid bitch, what the hell did you do that for?!” Muffled murmurs were heard from the head buried in dirt.
“Because you were making fun of me.” Kagome pouted.
“Well if you didn't act so stupid all the time, I wouldn't laugh at you so much.”
Sighing, Miroku and Sango turned from the two fighting figures and started to look around for any signs of life.
All the sudden, a dark cloud started to form above the village. Looking up from Kagome, Inuyasha smelt the air, and tensing up, pulled Tetsusaiga from its sheath.
“Kagome go hide! Now!” Inuyasha yelled now completely serious. Kagome blinked in confusion but then slowly picked up Shippou, not sure if he was being serious or not. He glanced back at her.
“What are you waiting for? I told you to go hide!” He hollered.
Turning immediately, Kagome went searching for a place to knock her bow, to be ready assist the hanyou.
As Kagome ran into the forest, a dark figure appeared out of nowhere.
“Are you the Hanyou who goes by the name Inuyasha?” a voice asked in a harsh whisper.
“Who's asking?”
“I am the dark priestess Anbu, and I have been looking for you.”
“Yeah, what for? So you can get your ass kicked?”
Shaking her head, the priestess smirked.
“I was warned of your attitude, but I must admit it is quite amusing, that you think you can beat every demon that comes across your path.”
“I can! I have! And you're no different, so don't get full of your self”
“Well, luckily for you, my purpose is not to kill you. Instead I was hired to place a curse on you. And place a curse on you I will.”
“Hmph, like a stupid curse would hurt me!” He said arrogantly, resting his sword on his shoulder.
“Inuyasha, be careful! You cannot defend against curses! Her aura gives me the impression she is indeed an incredibly powerful dark priestess.” Miroku warned Inuyasha.
“I can see that Miroku. And I don't need your help with a stupid curse” A fast wind blew through; drowning out all voices except for Anbu's.
“I place this curse on you, Inuyasha. You will irrevocably hurt the person that loves you the most! And you will not remember what you have done until it is too late!”
Suddenly a dark cloud flew from her hand and straight to Inuyasha, surrounding him. Then just as fast it appeared it vanished along with the priestess.
“Hey were did she go that coward,” Inuyasha yelled, not seeming to notice the cloud that had just surrounded him.
“Inuyasha are you okay? What did she say? Why was that dark cloud around you?” Kagome asked, running over to him.
“What cloud? I didn't see a cloud.” Inuyasha asked, looking confused.
“Inuyasha, that priestess has put a dark curse on you. What was it she said to you before she vanished?” Miroku asked.
Pausing, he tried to remember the priestess's last words. His mind was blank.
“I don't remember, something about not remembering something I did.” Inuyasha answered thoughtfully.
“Oh this is bad. We should return to Keade's village. She might be able figure out this curse and break it.” Miroku said, warily watching Inuyasha.
“No! I will not go back just because of some stupid curse, plus I feel fine, lets just keep going we have already wasted enough time waiting around here anyways.”
Looking down, Miroku sighed in frustration.
“I really think we should go back…” He insisted.
“Well I don't! Let's get going so we can find a place to stay before dark. I don't trust this place.”
Inuyasha turned around and headed off not looking back, clearly ending any further discussion on the subject.
“I guess we have no choice but to follow.”
Miroku said, looking back as if sensing someone watching them.
Picking up their belongings, the rest of the group wearily followed the stubborn hanyou.
In the shadows piercing gray eyes watched as the group headed off.
“Yes Inuyasha, don't pay attention to the curse until it's too late. Then you will destroy the one that loves you, finally being alone again. I will finally get my revenge on you for what your father did to me.” A raspy voice said chuckling.
Then the shadow disappeared leaving an echo of laughter in the thick fog of silence.
A/N: Ooooh who is this guy? Why did he put the curse on Inuyasha? What will happen during the night? You'll have to wait until the next chapter.
See ya!
