Over the Rainbow

Chapter 2: The Yellow Brick Road

"Follow the Yellow Brick Road?" Kagome repeated. That didn't sound hard.

"Yup. You need to follow the Yellow Brick Road to reach the Emerald City of the Wizard of Oz." Gramps explained.

"Didn't someone paint parts of the Road green at some point? Or was it black?" Sango asked, trying to remember.

"I think it was black..." Gramps replied thoughtfully.

'Ok. It's getting complicated.' Kagome thought.

"Anyways. the Wicked Witch of the East will surely try and take the Jewel. You must protect it!" Gramps exclaimed.

"I will go with Kagome to help her." Sango said, trying not to appear to excited.

Kagome nodded, happy to have someone to help her find the way.

Gramps smiled. "I have something to help you on this trip." He held up Kagome's cat Buyo. "I'm sure he will be of use."

Kagome and Sango stared first at Buyo and then at Gramps. 'What good could this floppy cat do?' Sango pondered.

"Uhhhhh. Thanks." Kagome said slowly, taking Buyo in her arms. They left the throne room, after saying goodbye.

Kagome looked out on the city and for the first time she noticed the Yellow Brick Road. It started in the middle of the square at he center of the city and swirled around until it finally reached a back gate. Kagome moved toward the gate but Sango grabbed her arm and dragged her to the start.

"We have to follow the Yellow Brick Road. That means no short cuts!" Sango lectured.

They stepped onto the beginning of the road and more munchkins popped out and started singing in their squeaky voices.

"Follow the yellow brick road, tra la!

Follow the yellow brick road, tra la!

Follow! Follow!

Follow the yellow brick, follow the yellow brick

Follow the yellow brick road!

If ever, oh ever, a Wizard there was

The Wizard of Oz is one because

Because because because because

Because of the wonder he does!

Oh, you're off to see the Wizard,

The wonderful Wizard of Oz!

You'll find he is a whiz of a Wiz

If ever a Wiz there was.

If ever, oh ever, a Wiz there was

You're off to see, you're off to see

The wonderful Wizard of Oz!"

Kagome and Sango walked quickly along the road. They came to the gate and rushed through leaving the singing midgets behind.

Sango and Kagome looked at each other and started to giggle. They were on the ground, laughing like maniacs.

When they finally regained control, Sango excused herself and went behind a bush. There was a blinding pink light and Sango stepped wearing forest- green pants and a brown shirt.

Kagome stood there with her mouth open, 'What happened to her fluffy pink dress?' She wondered.

"God! I hate that dress!" Sango said with relief. "I only wear it because it fits the image better."

Kagome nodded, not really understanding. She looked at Buyo in her arms and wondered if she should just let him go.

"Let's go!" Sango called, already down the road.

Kagome noticed an old basket but the side of the road and picked it up. She flopped Buyo inside and put it on her arm. That taken care of she walked toward Sango wondering if she really was totally sane.

Sango and Kagome walked along the Yellow Brick road for what seemed like hours. They finally came to a cool stream and decided to rest beside it for a few minutes. Kagome lay down on the grass and took off the high heels which were really pinching her feet.

"Ahhhhhh! These shoes weren't made for walking. I'll probably never walk again because of them." Kagome moaned.

Sango didn't hear Kagome because she was busy looking at the darkening sky. Clouds rolled in, covering the sun and turning the sky black. Sango felt uneasy, this looked a lot like a dramatic entrance of the Wicked Witch of the East.

"Kukukukukukukukukukukuku!" Whispered through the trees. "Kukukukukukuku!" It was getting closer.

Suddenly the black silhouette of Naraku, the Wicked Witch of the East, appeared before Kagome and Sango.

"Kukukukukukukukukuku!" He laugh cheerily. "Give me those shoes or I will be force to kill you!"

"Stop Naraku! You wicked witch!" Sango yelled. "You can't just go around stealing shoes from innocent people!"

"I'm the Wicked WARLOCK of the East! NOT A WITCH!" He screamed. "And anyways I CAN so go stealing shoes from innocent people. Who going to stop me? They look really expensive. And the quality...wow! I must have those shoes."

Kagome sweat dropped. This is the 'witch' they were supposed to be scared of? he seemed like and idiot to her.

The darkness seemed to increase around Naraku. He laughed louder, the sound echoing off the trees.

Sango looked worried. "Oh oh! We're in trouble!" She whispered.
