InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Evil Eye, The Serpent's Tongue ❯ The Evil Eye of Neko ( Chapter 10 )

The Evil Eye of Neko

 

 

“You might as well give up, because I am never going to help you!”

 

Ryu smiled and sat near Kagome and Inuyasha, watching Neko size the demon-hunter up. He turned to her friends and chuckled. “Allow me to explain what is going to happen.”

 

“Save your breath demon.” Inuyasha hissed. “We could care less about what you have to say.”

 

“Oh, but I think you do.”

 

“Feh!”

 

Ryu shrugged as Neko ran the back of her hand over Sango's cheek. Sango tired to bite down, but Neko was too quick. She purred and licked Sango's head, causing the woman to cringe away.

 

“You see hanyou, we are no different then you. Neko and I merely want to live our lives. Sadly, there are some rather nasty humans that want us dead, like your little friend Kagome.” He smiled. “No offense.”

 

“None taken.” Kagome said with a roll of her eyes.

 

“To do that, we need allies, and Sango is now our ally.”

 

“Sango is our friend!” Shippo said loudly. Ryu snapped his head at the fox demon, and Shippo hide under the lumber. “Just saying the truth.”

 

Ryu shrugged and leaned back as Neko began to hum softly. “Ah, but you are about to see Neko's true power.”

 

“True….power?” Miroku managed to gasp.

 

“Yes. Neko has the Evil Eye. It is a spell, passed down from demon to demon, until only she was left, the sole creature with its knowledge.”

 

Kagome frowned, wishing she could grab her arrows. “What are you going to do with Sango? What are you going to do with our friend?”

 

Ryu smiled. “Unleash her dark heart.”

 

***

 

Sango opened her eyes, looking around quickly. She was in a white room, though she had no clue if it was truly a room. It seemed as if it were endless, with no walls or doors or anything.

 

“Hello?” She shouted. “Kagome? Inuyasha? Shippo? Kirara…Miroku?” She frowned. “Where am I?”

 

“would you be quiet?”

 

Sango turned, watching as Kagome appeared. And yet…

 

“Kagome?” She asked hopefully.

 

“I told you to be quiet.” Sango looked at her, shocked. “God, is all you can do is talk?”

 

“Kagome…what are you…”

 

“I mean, sure, it's great to have someone to bathe with. But can't you have one skill? Miroku has his wind tunnel. Inuyasha has his sword, I have arrows. Even Shippo has an attack! What do you have? A child's toy!”

 

Sango took a step back, her friend scaring her. “But Kagome.”

 

“Not to mention how she screws everything up.” Inuyasha said, appearing behind her. “You helped naraku! The being that killed off your friends, family.”

 

“I thought he was telling the truth…”

 

“I thought, I thought!” Inuyasha mocked. “You can't even see evil when it is in front of your face!” He smiled and moved up to Kagome, Grabbing hold of her and ignoring Sango. “She is the last demon Hunter, and she can't even do that right. It takes a half demon to do her dirty work.”

 

“She is pathetic, isn't she?” Kagome purred, nuzzling his neck.

 

Sango looked around rapidly. “This is a trick! Some sort of spell…”

 

“This is no spell Sango!” Inuyasha said. “This is the truth. You appear all big and strong and tough, but you are a scared little girl.”

 

Sango frowned. “You lying bastard!” Her hands went from her weapon. “I am stronger then all of you!”

 

“Useless little woman!” Kagome shot back. She picked up a small cage that had appeared, Kirara mewing sadly. “we'll be taking this…you don't deserve her. You don't even know how to use her correctly.”

 

“You bring back Kirara you whore!” Sango shouted. She screamed and ran at them, trying to attack them. “You bastard, you bitch, you two timing pieces of shit! You can't talk to me like that! You get back here Inuyasha, you lousy half demon! You too Kagome, you stuck up little slut!”

 

“let them be.” Miroku said, appearing behind her, restraining her, his hands grabbing her in places that made her blush. It felt like he had a thousand hands. “I know why you are upset Sango.” He leaned in and whispered. “see, they are holding hands, kissing each other…they have love. What do you get? A grope from me. And even then, I don't enjoy it. You don't deserve love. All you are is a body, a tool…and a weak one at that.”

 

Sango whipped around. “I'll kill you, you stupid lecherous monk! I'll kill all of you! How dare you talk to me like that! I am strong, I am powerful, and I don't need you so called `friends' berating me!”

 

At that moment, Sango heard a roar, and her three friends ran away, Ryu and Neko appearing beside her. Growling and scaring them away. The two circled her, keeping her guarded. She blinked, not understanding why they were helping her.

 

“I told you Sango…they don't care for you.”

 

Sango nodded slowly. “You…you were right. They…were using me.” Her voice broke and Neko gently held her as she began to cry.

 

“But Sango…we do care about you. We'll be your friends.”

 

“You…you will?” Sango asked, hope in her eyes. “You'll be my friends…and care about me? Respect me?”

 

“Yes. And then..we'll kill those people that hurt you. Naraku, Inuyasha…Kagome.” Ryu smiled and stroked her hand. “We are your friends Sango…they are the enemy.”

 

Sango glared at the retreating forms. “Yes. We'll damn the lot of them.” She smiled. “We'll burn them and everything they love to the ground….just tell me how!”

 

Neko smiled. “Open your eyes.”

 

***

 

ROAR!

 

Kagome's head snapped to her left, her jaw open. She watched as Sango struggled, Neko stepping away from the demon-hunter…and Sango roared.

 

She had roared!

 

Inuyasha even grew quiet as Sango began to scream and curse, her eyes focused on them. Neko smirked and walked away as the demon-hunter cried out in anger.

 

“Sango, what is wrong?” Kagome asked.

 

“What's wrong?” She hissed, acid in her very words. “What's wrong is that I am stuck here and not killing you, you bitch!”

 

Kagome's eyes grew wide. “Sango! How…how could you say such a thing! I'm your friend, remember?”

 

Sango laughed. “Some friend. You were always jealous of me…of my strength. That's why you all used me…to insure you didn't have to face me in battle!” She let out another roar, or as best a human could make one. “You and your little hanyou boyfriend over there…you may appear all nice, but I see now who you really are!” Sango struggled again. “Ryu, Neko, let me free so we can finish this!”

 

“Ryu and Neko!” Inuyasha shouted. “They are the enemy.”

 

“To you. But to me, they are my best friends, the only two people to care about me!” She growled, and broke free of her weapon, shattering it. “I am going to tear you to shreds!”

 

“Stop Sango!” Ryu said, leaping in front of her. “Not yet.”

 

“Why not?” Sango asked. “Don't you want those….things…gone?”

 

`Yes.” Ryu said with a smile, stroking her hair. “But not like this…you need help.”

 

“Stop touching her!” Miroku yelled, struggling to his feet. Neko high kicked him, sending him flying next to Kagome. He moaned and tried to get up, but could only watch, like the rest of them.

 

“You see Sango…to fight with me and Neko…you need to lose something.”

 

“Lose what?”

 

Ryu smiled, and opened his hand to reveal a jewel shard. Sango smiled, her now dark heart beating faster. She licked her lips, taking the jewel, then looking back at Ryu, her heart only holding love for him and the cat demoness next to her.

 

“Your humanity.”
