Portrayal Of Deception
Chapter One: The House
In Feudal Japan; Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and InuYasha sat in a circle around a camp fire discussing what they needed to do, well, it was more like Kagome trying to convince InuYasha to follow her plan.
"Come on InuYasha, it won't be that bad" Kagome said.
"No, I'm not going" InuYasha replied stubbornly.
5 MINUTES LATER
"Kagome, are you sure we can do this?" Shippo asked her worried.
"Have any of you ever tried?" Kagome challenged. Shippo shook his head.
"Just follow me" Kagome replied and jumped into the well. InuYasha jumped in after her and then Miroku, followed by Sango and Shippo. To their surprise they all came through to Kagome's time. Once there they proceeded to follow her through a forest though Miroku, Sango and Shippo were lagging because they were amazed by everything they came across.
"Are you sure it's here?" InuYasha asked annoyed.
"Yes, I'm sure it's some creepy demon" Kagome said looking around for the house. Deep into the middle of the forest they stumbled upon the mansion that Kagome was searching for. They came in peacefully, by opening the door, much against InuYasha's protests.
Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were surprised by the structure of the building and how big it was. The group split up; InuYasha with Kagome and Sango, Miroku, and Shippo together. InuYasha and Kagome went upstairs to see the bedrooms and whatever else lurked up there, while Miroku, Sango, and Shippo searched the first floor and basement. The house was big maybe four stories or more. It was covered in dust and cobwebs and smelled like rotting and burning wood. The floorboards creaked with any weight that was placed on it. Using one word to sum it all up that word would be, creepy.
Suddenly the ground began to shake knocking everyone off their balance and also knocking things off shelves. And then all the guests in the house saw black.
Sitting in Koenma's office the four boys waited for the prince to arrive. Yusuke sat in a rather uncomfortable position with his legs carelessly thrown over the back of the couch with his head almost touching the floor. Hiei stood in the back of the room with his arms crossed across his chest. Kurama sat in the upright position in a chair in the corner near where our fire demon was lurking, calmly surveying everyone else. Kuwabara was asleep on the floor on the opposite side of the room, and snoring quite loudly I might add.
Just then Koenma walked in carrying a bag that apparently looked like it held very precious and heavy items by the way Koenma struggled with it. Everyone looked up at his sudden presence; they hadn't expected him for another hour or two. Koenma usually took his time getting to his detectives unless the case was urgent and they really needed him or else he just relaxed; ate, drank, exercised, and ect. Koenma sat down and put the heavy bag down with a thud.
"WAKE UP KUWABARA!" Koenma snapped. The detective awoke with a start sending Yusuke into hysterical laughter. The black clad figure opened his eyes at the disturbance and glared at the ruler that sat before him. Kurama also looked in the same direction that Hiei was but his eyes were on something else. That bag. Youko nagged in the back of his mind to steal whatever was valuable in it but Suiichi, our little do-gooder, kept the fox in check while Koenma spoke.
"Your mission is to find a house that has been giving off a demonic aura and then exterminate this demonic entity," Koenma told them.
"After you exterminate it, report immediately back to me, and then explain to me what exactly this spirit was doing there" Koenma continued but the uneasiness he had been trying to keep out of his voice shone brightly through his words anyway. Giving him weird looks the boys traveled out of the office. Catching on the way out where this house was located.
In the middle of the dark, dank forest they located the mansion. Yusuke walked up to the door and powered up his Spirit Gun to blow it down but before he pulled the trigger Kurama walked up and gently opened the door the normal way. Yusuke was very disappointed. As they entered the door they saw five people. Two appeared to be demon. And the rest human.
They just stared at each other not believing that the others were there. Then Kurama and Kagome both stepped forward at the same time.
"He's going to get himself killed sometime," Hiei mumbled to himself as he watched the fox step forward.
"Er..Um.. My names Kagome this is InuYasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kilala, Are you friend or foe?" The one called Kagome asked.
"It depends if you are foe then we are, but if not then we are friends and mean you no harm" Kurama replied. Kagome sighed.
"We are friends then" She announced.
"What are your names?" Kagome asked.
"I am Kurama, this is Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara." Kurama introduced. Kagome nodded. They began to talk about themselves and why they were there. Still keeping their darkest utmost secrets from each other. Suddenly the house began to move almost like it was breathing. Bending the walls and moving them into different places. And then the guests went unconscious again.
Slowly waking up Sango shook her head and looked around her the room was very dark and she could just barely make out the figures of two things breathing. She squinted to see better and saw Kilala. And then the figure of a man. What did they say his name was? Ah yes, Kurama. Sango crawled over to the boy and proceeded to shake him to try and wake him up. He didn't respond at first but then she shook him harder and he began to wake up.
"What a way to wake someone up" Kurama commented as he was being violently shook.
"Sorry" Sango replied sheepishly.
"It's OK, Where are we? Where are the others?" Kurama asked her. Sango just shrugged and looked around.
"Looks like we're somewhere else in the house" She said.
"Well I guess we had better just make the better of it and not go looking for the others until morning" Kurama suggested. Sango nodded and stood up and began walking around the room. Her and Kurama began to continue the talk they had started earlier and began to become friends.
InuYasha sat up holding his head in his hand he moaned. How long have I been out? He wondered.
"About time" Hiei commented from the corner. InuYasha looked towards the crimson eyes demon and glared.
"Where are we?" InuYasha asked trying his best to ignore Hiei's comment.
"Leprechaun land, where does it look like fool?" Hiei said very sarcastically.
"I was just unconscious for who knows how long I just woke up and you expect me to know where I am?" InuYasha asked Hiei.
"Hn." Hiei said. "We'll have to stay here until morning when we can look for the others." He continued.
"So you expect me to stay here with you?" InuYasha said almost not believing what he was hearing.
"No I expect nothing of a incompetent fool like yourself" Hiei replied. And they continued arguing through the entire night.
Miroku woke suddenly at a very loud noise. Looking to where it came from Miroku saw Kuwabara screaming in a corner. Miroku ran over to see what he was screaming about and then he saw that Kuwabara had accidentally broke his finger. They began to talk about fights they had been in and Miroku was amazed at Kuwabara. Not that Miroku thought he was strong or something like that, he was just amazed at the thought of how much this man had been through and yet he was screaming about a broken finger.
Of Course in the other room they were getting along just as well as Hiei and InuYasha were. Kagome and Shippo were on the opposite side of the room Yusuke was on and she was panting heavily. This boy just didn't stop. She had had enough of his pervertedness and was now going to stay away from him.
Well eventually they all got tired and slept wherever they dropped. And then they began to dream.
