Woo! Next story. Basically its about Inuyasha and the gang adventuring in the mysterious Mountain of Dreams, which is, you guessed it, associated with dreams. Enjoy, and R&R!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of its characters.
Bright sunlight fell over the gang as they travelled on the road, wondering how long it would take to reach their destination.
"Shippo! Hurry up, will ya? You're lagging behind!" Inuyasha yelled, irritated that he had stopped to lick his lollipop.
"Ok, ok! Jeez." Shippo responded, running and jumping onto Kagome's bike. "What's got you so worried, anyway?"
"Nothin! I just want to get to that damn mountain before everyone else does, that's all." Inuyasha said, stomping his foot.
"Well could we at least stop and rest for a while? We've been traveling for so long and my feet are killing me." Kagome suggested, stopping her bike and taking out her comically large backpack.
"Agreed," Miroku stated, sitting down and breathing out a sigh of relief. Inuyasha had been insistent on traveling as fast as they could to this so called "Mountain of Dreams". They had been traveling for five days, and with very little rest as well.
"No." Inuyasha snapped impatiently.
"I've got Ramen…" Kagome sang.
"Umm, maybe for just a little bit then!" Inuyasha said, snatching the cup o' noodles from her hand.
"I wonder if what that traveler said was actually true…" Sango pondered, gently petting Kirara.
Flashback-
The gang had been resting at a village when a mysterious traveler had come by, saying that he had great and important news for all the land. He had said that a wondrous mountain had sprang up from nowhere, and it housed a weapon of great power: Ken Dorimu, the Sword of Dreams. It's power was said to be so great that its user could make his opponent mentally insane with one swing of the sword, rendering him a helpless infant, and that it could grant its user's wishes. But, it was also said that a great and terrible demon resided over the sword, killing all trespassers who attempted to attain Ken Dorimu. Some said that even the mountain itself protected the sword. Regardless. commoners and nobility alike had flocked to the mountain, either with their own person, or with their great armies and respective warlords. None had returned. Of course, Inuyasha had immediately decided that they were going to go check it out, lest the sword fall into the hands of someone unworthy.
"And you call yourself worthy?" Shippo had asked, intent on teasing him.
"Why you…!" Inuyasha barked, chasing Shippo around with a fist poised to strike.
"Wahhh! Kagome!" Shippo had cried, desperately trying to run away.
"Osuwari!" Kagome yelled, Inuyasha crashing into the ground face first. And so their travels began.
End of flashback-
"I agree with Sango," said Miroku. The sword that that man had described, it seems too farfetched. And a mountain forming in the blink of an eye? Impossible."
"Well I guess we gotta go see for ourselves then." Inuyasha stated while devouring the cup of ramen in four slurps.
"Yes, I suppose so…" Miroku said sighing and idly leaning over to Sango…
"At least we got to rest. And from the looks of it we've almost reached the mou-" Sango's face turned cherry red. A slap reverberated through the forest. "Keep your hands to yourself, lecher!"
"Sorry, sometimes it just seems if my hand has a mind of its own… hehe." Miroku said nervously, scratching his head as he did so. Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other, thinking the same thing: He'll never learn.
Meanwhile, Sesshomaru walked through the forest, Jaken, A-Un, and Rin in tow. Rin gasped, looking at the mountain coming into view. "Look at the mountain, Sesshomaru-sama! It's so pretty!" She chirped.
"Lord Sesshomaru does not care if the mountain is pretty or not! He only cares of the sword within! If you actually knew Sesshomaru-sama, you would have known that. Jaken squawked, looking smug.
The great dog demon paused. "You are right, Rin. It is quite beautiful." Sesshomaru stated, which caused Jaken to gape at him. "Does this surprise you, Jaken? That this Sesshomaru can appreciate beauty?"
Jaken stammered. "O-of course not, my lord!"
In truth, the mountain was a sight for sore eyes. It was tinged a beautiful pink an purple, with small snow drifts dotting its side and its peak. It truly was magnificent.
"Rin, get onto A-un. We must reach that mountain by nightfall." Sesshomaru said.
"Yes, Sesshomaru-sama!" She chirped while clambering onto A-Un's back, with Jaken following suit.
With the group all in tow, they all flew towards the Mountain of Dreams, wondering what it had in store for them.
"Finally!' Inuyasha yelled, elated that they had reached the mountain. "Let's go!"
"Wait, Inuyasha." Said Miroku. "I sense a barrier around the mountain. And the none of the many travelers that were supposed to have flocked the mountain are nowhere in sight. I fear that this may be too dangerous of a quest."
"Hah! Like one silly demon can kill me!" Inuyasha snorted, jumping through the barrier. To everyone's surprise, he disappeared as soon as he did.
"Inuyasha! Get back here!" She yelled angrily, jumping in after him. Sango and Miroku looked at each other, shrugged, and leapt in after them, Kirara and Shippo flying in after them.
They emerged in a field of flowers, all landing on top of each other.
"Oof!" They all uttered, wondering where they were.
"Hey, where's the mountain?" Inuyasha said as he stood up. And he spoke the truth as well. The mountain had completely disappeared. Everyone else stood up as well, wondering where the mountain could have gone. All, except for Kagome. She had attempted to stand up, but had ungraciously fallen to the ground.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled, catching her as she fell.
"Oh, my ankle doesn't feel so good…" she murmured, wincing in pain. Inuyasha looked at the ankle she had described, finding that it was bent at an unnatural angle.
"Here, get on my back." Inuyasha suggested. Agreeing, Kagome looped her legs through Inuyasha's arms and rested her head against his shoulder. Unbeknownst to her, that had caused a slight blush to mar the hanyou's cheeks.
"Hey! Where did Kirara and Shippo go?" Sango pondered, looking around frantically.
"I guess they did not come through the barrier." Miroku speculated. "I wonder why, though."
"Whatever. Maybe if we walk in one direction we'll find em." Inuyasha stated while walking to the east. Suddenly, they felt the ground rumble.
"Hey, what was th-"
The ground crumbled beneath them.
