Cursed To Be Alone

Chapter 5

Hoping You Are all right.

~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~*

The crisp cold air of soon coming pain and danger rang through the forest and mostly around the hut of the six companions, who where out to get Naraku, but now sleeping. Upon the few crickets chirping, most of them where scattered. The stars in the sky glittered as the night continued to pass on. The hut of the six companions would soon be awoken though, as two demons were floating in the air above the hut.

"Kanna, you must get the souls of the monk and demon exterminator so that I can use their soul-less bodies and use them to attack the other three that will be worried." Kagura, said, looking down at her older sister. She then landed in a tree, near the roof while her sister, Kanna, walked in front of the hut.

A white hair girl nodded slightly, nothing coming from her mouth though as she jumped softly from the feather in the air and landed a few feet away from the hut. She then walked over to the hut, holding her mirror in front of her. Aiming her mirror toward where the demon exterminator and the priest. Her eyes still hung dully.

Groaning slightly, green eyes opened slightly as the owner looked up. A gasp of horror came from the small kitsune's mouth. Two large white orbs were coming out of his friends, Miroku and Sango. He looked back to see Sayuri was asleep, Inuyasha was outside, a few yards away. He then ran out of the hut, in search of the hanyou who could help him stop this. He skidded as he saw Kanna using her mirror. "Fox Fire!" He yelled, a blue flame raced toward Kanna, only to be sucked up into the mirror. Looking over, he saw Kagura was busy. He then ran and continued toward Inuyasha's scent. He hoped the hanyou would smell the two incarnations of Naraku and open his eyes to the danger.

Ice blue eyes soon opened, only to see a demon exterminator over her, holding The Hiraikotsu right beneath the girl's chin. A monk was pointing the sharp edge of his staff a few inches from her neck. She looked at her friend's eyes; they were dull and lifeless. She then slowly slid down; their eyes still on her. Sayuri then slid underneath her friends then kicked them in their stomachs, just to knock them out.

Miroku and Sango's bodies then fell forward; the two large white circles were trying to force their way out of the mirror. Miroku and Sango's souls were fighting their way out of the mirror, and hold of Kanna.

Amber eyes snapped open as his nose twitched and a familiar scowl was on his face. He looked down upon the small runt. "Shippou, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be watching the others?" He asked, quite annoyed with the small fox runt.

"I-Inuyasha!" A tired kitsune panted, kneeling down a bit to gain his breath. "I am here because Kanna and Kagura are at the hut. Kanna has a hold of Miroku and Sango, I don't know about Sayuri. I got away while I could. I was watching them, but when I went to attack Kanna it got sucked up in her mirror!" He exclaimed.

Inuyasha then jumped down from the tree branch and picked up Shippou by the fur, "go and try to distract Kanna, I will see to the others." He said, leaping off. He narrowed his eyes and then placed Shippou behind Kanna, he ran into the hut, sensing Kagura there.

@~@ Sayuri's Point Of View @~@

I ran deeper into the hut as wind blades circled around me. I jumped up and then continued to run. I couldn't find Sango or Miroku, not to mention Shippou and Inuyasha. I think Kilala went out last night to get some shards. I searched frantically for my friends. `Sango! Miroku!' I thought and looked around for the other two. "Where are they?" I muttered. Then I saw it, my friend, Sango, with a blade, to my throat. `Inuyasha, please...help me.' She thought. She couldn't draw her sword because Sango would have slashed her neck off by the time she drew her sword. I then closed my eyes, "Sango-Chan; it is I, Sayuri. The new member of the group or as Inuyasha calls me the new wench added on." I said. Suddenly, I turned my head over, upon hearing a crash, and then my eyes widened and saw whom I thought I would never see.

@~@ Normal Point Of View @~@

Inuyasha crashed through the wall, and then tackled Sango. "Sango stop it!" He yelled, narrowing his eyes. He then knelt down and felt Sayuri get onto his back. He then stood up and ran outside, toward Kanna. He then slashed at her mirror with his Tetsusaiga, placing Sayuri down.

Kanna dodged his attack, and then held the mirror up to Inuyasha, aiming to steal his soul so her little sister, Kagura, could use Inuyasha's body and then kill him.

Sayuri ran in front of Inuyasha, she drew her sword and then slashed at Kanna, cutting a long slice through Kanna's arm. Hearing Kanna scream out in pain, Sayuri soon saw Kagura come out. The souls of their friends went back to Sango and Miroku.

Kagura then used the feather in her hair and picked her sister up onto the feather. "Naraku will not be pleased." She said, then Kanna nodded and they rode off, out to find Naraku's mansion yet again.

"Sango! Miroku!" Sayuri that yelled out to her friends, once they got their souls back, they stood up. Sayuri hugged Sango and smiled. "Oh it is so good to have you back Sango! You were under Kanna and Kagura's spell. Miroku was underneath the spell as well; you both just got back." She said, then ran over to Miroku and gave him a hug. She then twitched her eyebrow as a hand touched some where it wasn't supposes to. "Pervert!" She yelled, and slapped him onto the ground.

Sango laughed slightly. "I am sorry if I harmed any of you, Inuyasha, Sayuri, or Shippou." She said, and gave Shippou and Sayuri a hug. She then looked over at Miroku. "Monk you had that coming." She said, laughing slightly. She then looked outside.

"We still have a few hours until sunrise." A voice said, looking back, Sayuri, Shippou, and Sango saw Inuyasha speaking. "We should get a head start on hunting Naraku down. He is only fifteen miles away now. Which would also be two days if we walk only one if we run." He said. Everyone just blinked at him, it was odd to see or hear Inuyasha be smart.

Everyone, exclude Sayuri, had their eyes wide and their mouths dropped. Sayuri blinked, then smiled and nodded once. "Yes, It would be nice if we could get to Naraku sooner, but, Inuyasha, do you not think that walking would preserve more energy for the team other than running?" She asked, tilting her head slightly.

Miroku shook his head, then nodded. "Sayuri does have a point Inuyasha, if we do run then we would loose more energy that way and not be ready for what Naraku may have in store for us. We should walk all morning, then rest at night fall to preserve our energy." He said.

Sango and Shippou nodded in agreement with them. "Yes, they are right Inuyasha." Sango and Shippou both said at the same time then looked up at Inuyasha, smirking slightly.

Inuyasha snorted, he hated having weak humans for a group, but he knew in a way they were right. "You're all weak, but, fine." He then grabbed his hilt of the sword. He then walked outside of the hut, waiting for the rest of them to get ready.

Sayuri cleaned her sword quickly, then got a few blankets and pillows. She got the herbs and wrapping cloths as well. She knelt down, and Shippou got up onto her shoulder. She stood up and walked outside, she sheathed her sword and looked up at the sky. `So much has happened to me, to everyone. I hope, that, when we face Naraku, it is only a puppet.' She thought, then looked ahead.

Miroku and Sango got their weapons and Sango saw Kilala running up to her. "Kilala!" She smiled, Kilala then changed into her larger demon form and roared. Telling Miroku and Sango to get on. Miroku climbed aboard Kilala then helped Sango in front of him.

Inuyasha jumped down from the tree, he began to walk ahead, using his nose to scent out Naraku every few minutes. He didn't know why, but, he hoped that after the fight, all of them, plus Sayuri, would be all right. `This is moving so fast. I know we will win against Naraku though!' He thought and continued to walk. He began to stress a little bit though.

Miroku then placed a hand on Sango's backside; Sango yelled out and then slapped him. "Pervert!" She then looked ahead, making sure he was knocked out, and he was. She then blushed, but noticed that Miroku's hand was upon her own. She took it in her hand, placed it against her cheek for a few moments then placed Miroku's hand down beside his face. She sighed and looked ahead.

Sayuri noticed the stress on Inuyasha's face; she knew Miroku and Sango where a good bit behind them. She then also noticed Shippou asleep and she smiled. She then walked beside Inuyasha. "Hey, no need to be so stressed out Inuyasha. You're worried about the battle. I can tell. Everyone is, even I am. Listen, we will all make it through, I have this odd feeling that we will, I just know it." She looked ahead. "Don't worry, no one can hear what we are saying." She said.

Inuyasha looked down at Sayuri. He was slightly surprised that she knew he was stressed out, no one even knew he was before. "I'm not stressed out or worried wench. You are thinking wrong; maybe your brains broke." He said, poking his head, toward his brain.

Sayuri looked at him, knowing he didn't mean it, she smirked slightly. "If you say my brain is broke Inuyasha, then why are you pointing to your own head? Is your brain broke?" She asked, laughing slightly.

Inuyasha smirked inside, his ears twitched at the sound of her light laughter. "Stupid wench, you..." He couldn't think of a comeback. He snorted and turned his head forward. A small scowl on his face.

Sayuri smiled and laughed lightly, "Oh Inuyasha; I'm just joking." She said smiling. She saw his ears swivel, her eyes opened slightly wide as she sensed something. She then looked over her shoulder, seeing a large tiger demon with crimson red eyes. She stepped back and then placed a hand to her chest, a memory flooded back to her.

@-@ Flashback @-@

There was a small girl, a glowing red ball above her hand as she narrowed her eyes. A demon was in front of her, seeing this, he ran and tackled her down.

Her eyes in a glare, "OW!" She yelled, then looked at the demon. "Oh you did it now--" She was cut off, by the feeling of something hitting the back of her head. Her eyes closed, and her body fell, limplessly to the ground as the hit had made her knock out. Her hair covered her face and her hand landed by her face.

@-@ Flashback End @-@

"I-it's you!" She narrowed her eyes. "I remember slightly, but you knocked me out when I was a child!" She then felt Shippou awaken and jump off her shoulder. Sayuri then drew her sword and lunged forward at the demon, her eyes raged with anger.

The demon smirked, then tackled her down once again, only this time, his claws dug into her sides as she yelled in pain, and then she kicked the demon off of her and back into a tree.

Inuyasha growled lowly, then drew Tetsusaiga and ran in front of Sayuri and slashed at the demon, but instead of seeing it's bloody behind, all that they saw was smoke and one single drop of blood.

Shippou ran over to Sayuri, "Sayuri!" He yelled, seeing the blood rushing freely from the claw wounds in her sides. "Sayuri, please hold on." He said, looking at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha then sheathed his sword and hers as well. He picked Sayuri up, since Sango was slightly asleep on Kilala, Miroku had woken and was looking at Inuyasha, he nodded. "Shippou come here." Miroku said, then the small cub looked at Inuyasha, he nodded and ran over to below Kilala and jumped up, into Miroku's lap.

Inuyasha then ran to a river, he sat Sayuri down, she was unconscious he sighed lightly. `Since she helped me, I'm going to help her.' He thought, then began to clean out her wounds gently, making sure he got all the dirt and whatever he thought looked like poison. He then ripped some cloth from the healing cloth and then raised her shirt up so he could see the wounds. (A/N: He only raised it to the middle of her ribs.) He raised it and then rested it on the middle of her ribs. He then picked her up and sat her up; he wrapped her wounds and then sighed slightly. He placed her shirt down and then sat her down.

"M." A small moan came from Sayuri, opening her eyes slightly, then blinking a bit, she looked up at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, Where are the others? What are we doing here?" She asked, sitting up slightly, then winced a bit at her wound energy blast of pain. She sat up, then looked at her wounds, "did you?" She asked.

Inuyasha looked at her and then nodded. "I wrapped your wounds and cleaned them out; the others are in a clearing only a few minutes from here." He said. "'Sides, Sango was asleep, Miroku would have womanized you, and Shippou is to young to know what he is doing, so basically I had to clean you up." He said looking away.

Sayuri smiled, then sat beside him. "Thank you anyway Inuyasha. I hope that we get the demon next time." She said, and then rested her head on his shoulder; she was still a bit tired. She closed her eyes and she fell into a light sleep, in a way, this was her offer of saying `Thanks, I like your presence to.' As he had told her on the night of his human transformation.

Inuyasha looked down at her; he couldn't help but to blush slightly. He then looked away still, not wanting to move her. Then he looked up at the sky, thinking about the demon and what she said. `What did she mean, It's you? Did that demon kill someone she knew or something?' He asked to himself in his thoughts.

*~*Naraku's Illusionary Castle *~*

"Why didn't you kill them when you had the change Omaha?" Naraku growled lowly, his crimson eyes flashing as his black hair went over his shoulders and Kanna and Kagura sat at his side. He was talking to the tiger demon in front of him. Naraku had found out and planned that Sayuri would be the one Omaha used witch craft on sixteen years ago.

The black tiger demon with white stripes bowed his head in shame. "I am sorry Lord Naraku, if I would have stayed there any longer, that dog hanyou would have killed me!" He said, looking up at Naraku.

"It is all right, we will just have to go ahead and make another plan, but this time Omaha. I expect you NOT to MESS UP." Naraku said, standing up and walking over to his room.

*~* Sango, Kilala, Shippou, and Miroku *~*

Kilala and Shippou were asleep, Shippou on Sango's side and Kilala on Miroku's side. Sango had kept her distance from the womanizing monk, narrowing her eyes at him sometimes.

Miroku looked at her, "Sango, I said I was sorry." He then stood up and walked over to her, sitting in front of her. He then sighed and saw Sango's gaze look into his own eyes.

Sango looked at his eyes as he looked back into hers. "Miroku, you should not still be womanizing any way, it's disgraceful and wrong." She said. She saw Miroku's face coming closer toward her's. "M-Miroku what are you doing?" She asked, his lips were only a few inches from hers as they heard a scream, Miroku looked back, as did Sango. Miroku took this chance, then kissed Sango fully on the lips.

Sango's eyes widened, a wild hot blush covered his cheeks and then she got use to his lips against hers, she closed her eyes and kissed him back. She then pulled back and blushed, she stood up and got her boomerang, she then walked over to the scream only to see a man peeping on a woman. She shook her head, hit the man over the head, helped the woman out and protected her as she got dressed. She then walked back over to Miroku and fell asleep at his side.

Miroku smiled and looked up, seeing the stars having a kissing formation of him and her. He wrapped his arm around Sango, and was about to kiss her forehead, until he heard something.
