Disclaimer: As much as I hate it, I don't own Inu-yasha or any of the characters, Rumiko Takahashi does. However, Starlin Genesis, Valkirie, and Vixen are my own characters. Please do not use them without asking my permission and at least giving me a little credit. Thanks:o)
P.S. Okasan, is what Shippo calls Kagome in his thoughts and sometimes, not only in his thoughts. If something is in bold, then it means that is the person's thoughts. "quotes" is them talking. Underlined is telepathy. If it's like this, bold, then it means that it is the person's conscience, or in the case of youkai and hanyous youkai side, talking. stars are my thoughts on something I just wrote. (camera) is when the focus shifts. underlined and stars is the 'blue vile bond'.
Attention: To all my loyal readers, this is a revised edition and I changed a couple of minor things. Mostly just slight details, spelling mistakes, and grammar mistakes. I hope you enjoy.
The Mirror Prologue"Come on, Inu-yasha. It's just a cave! If you don't get in here right now I'm going to say it! 1, 2, 3...Inu-yasha...4, 5! SIT, BOY! Get in here, now! You're the one who's always so eager to get the shards. Now, when faced with us having to go into a little cave, you don't want to go in. Not even to get the shard I sensed." It's moving around so much I'm surprised that it hasn't come across us already. But, yet, if it had, then we wouldn't have to go into this cave at all. I HATE caves. They are so dark, and if you get lost then it's possible that you'll never come out. She looks at Inu-yasha and Shippo, staying just outside of the cave, along with Kirara. Well, I guess I can't blame those three. They can probably smell my fear. It's probably making them even more nervous then they already are.
She sighs. "Inu-yasha get in here right now, or I'll say the 'S' word again. You too, Shippo, I think it would be safer if you are with me." Plus, I would feel safer, but no need to tell him that it would just make him even more nervous, besides, it would make Inu-yasha jealous. She stifles her laughter, but she's sure that at least Inu-yasha has heard her. Shippo look at Kagome, then at Miroku and Sango, then Inu-yasha, then finally back to Kagome. He sees her fingering the flap of a pouch that Kaede had made and given to her.
That decided him and he ran over to Kagome and jumped onto her shoulder, then changes his mind and climbs into her backpack and curls up in it. He knows that she has been training with Kaede for quite a while. I think that I better go in; I really don't want a rosary like Inu-yasha's around my neck too. And she's really mad right now, she might just do it. I don't think I'd like that much. A thought that he doesn't like much pops into his head. Or even worse, Okasan might not bring me any more of that candy she always brings for me.
Miroku and Sango look at the pair, then at each other. Miroku has a suggestive smile on his face and motions towards Kagome and Inu-yasha with his head. Sango rolls her eyes then stands up, and calls Kirara. "Kirara, come, please." Kirara walks hesitantly into the cave, then jumps onto Sango's shoulder. They continue to watch Inu-yasha and Kagome arguing.
"Get in her now, Inu-yasha! Look at Shippo; he came in." She smiles at him then continues. "Are you too afraid to come in, Inu-yasha? That's it, isn't it? You ARE afraid. Aren't you" He starts to growl at that comment, then changes his mind when he sees the glint in her eyes that usually means that she's going to Sit him until his back breaks unless he does what she tells him to. He gets up, and walks into the cave, looking like he had planned to go in all along. When he passes Kagome, he mumbles something that she can just barely understand"...uso, stupid wench." She looks at him, he could tell that she had heard him, but she let the comment go. She was sick of arguing with him about it
I wonder what's wrong with Kagome; normally a comment like that means that I would get Sat quite a few times. Snort. Why should I care? It's not like she means anything to me anyways. She's just a shard detector. Besides, a few less sits is always good. But you love her. She's not just a shard detector, to you. You don't really mind getting sat so much if she is just there with you. As long as she stays by your side, you don't care what she does to you. You love her. No! I love Kikyo.
All of sudden, a slight breeze blows a bit of Kagome's scent towards him, and he can smell a faint trace of fear in it. She's afraid, but why? There is nothing for her to be afraid of. It's just a cave. Yet, you were afraid to go in it to. Weren't you? Caves make you uneasy, especially this one. But she doesn't know that. Maybe she's afraid of being in closed places. Or maybe, she just doesn't like caves. If you want to know, then you'll have to ask her. I can't ask her, then she'll think that I care, which I don't. Besides, if I ask her, she'll just Sit me and tell me that's it's none of my business and ask me why I care. It's so cute when Inu-yasha tries to lie to himself about Kagome. He always fails so miserably, yet he still tries. He snorts, then turns around and looks at Kagome. She's still standing by the cave's entrance. "Aren't you coming" She gets that glint in her eyes again and he knows that he's gone to far this time. Kuso! Here it comes...
He winces with out thinking about it and she loses her temper. "SIT! Sit, sit, sit, sit, and sit" She storms past the impression in the ground and takes off her backpack, She gets a lantern out of it then puts her backpack back on. She turns it on and sits down on a rock while she waits for the spell to wear off.
Meanwhile...(the camera swings back over to Sango and Miroku.)
Inu-yasha's an idiot. He can't even see that he loves her, or that she loves him. Stupid monk, too. Yes, he is stupid, but you still love him. If he ever asked you, you would say yes to bearing his children. You wouldn't even think about it first. You'd just answer. You know that it's true. I know I love him, butI don't know about the bearing his children part. I tried so hard not to fall in love with him, I told myself not to, yet I did anyways. I'm such an idiot sometimes. All of a sudden she feels something touching her butt. I think we all know what that is. lol. She stiffens, looks around for her boomerang, realizes that the ceiling is too low for her to use it, then decides to just use her hands.
"Hentai" Miroku has a bright red handprint on his face, his eyes closed, and he sighs. The noise draws Kagome's, Inu-yasha's, and Shippo's attention; two of them just sigh and roll their eyes, while the third one just snorts. Kagome tries not to laugh as she whispers something quietly. "Poor Miroku; that one had to hurt. Well, he shouldn't have been trying to grope her; he knew that she would hit him. So I guess he got what he deserved. But still, I just can't help feeling a little bit sorry for him."
"Can we please go already? I don't like this cave, Kagome. It scares me." Kagome looks at Shippo, she is holding him in her arms now and she notices that the fur on his tail is standing on end and that he is shivering. "Okay, Shippo. And don't worry, it scares me too, but Inu-yasha will protect us." Shippo calms down a little bit, but his fur is still standing on end. He isn't shivering anymore though. Kagome grabs the lantern and they all start walking deeper into the cave. They have only walked about a yard before they all hear a rumble coming form deep inside the ground and then everything goes black.
