Chapter 3: Lord Naraku's Deal
In the darkest castle, yet in the brightest town, lives Lord Naraku. He was after perfection of his life. He makes sure that everything, and he means everything goes to plan. If any of them fail, the consequences were hard to deal with. Lord Naraku is in the hallway walking down along in it. He comes to a door, and barges in. He enters the kitchen. A gurgling sound was coming from the other side of the room. "He's ready to talk." Said the lord as a guard has been holding a little kid with orange hair in a high ponytail, a pair of teal eyes, and a puffy tail of a fox. "Alright kid where is the half-demon?" Naraku demand evilly. The kid coughs a bit more of the gurgling. "Like I'm ever gonna tell you. You monster." He bitterly rejects the question. "I'm getting tired of this, kid. The half-demon is the only one who interfered with my life. "I haven't seen the half-demon." The kid said. Naraku walks around him. "My patience has reached its end, now tell me…" He said as he gets a pair of scissors about to cut off his tail. "NO, I'll tell you." Said the kid. "Good." The door is opened pretty fast. "My lord, we found it." Said the guard gasping for air. "Excellent. Bring it in." The guards bring in a huge mirror with a face in it. "You must know the reason I summoned you're here." Naraku said to it. The face hesitantly answers, "Yes, you want me to see if everything is right for you." Naraku grins. "First is this the most perfect kingdom of them all?" He asks. The face answers to him, "Technically you're not a king." Naraku glares, "Uh. Fugato?" Naraku turns to the man who has a little mirror in his hand, and breaks it to prove not to be punished. "You were saying?" Naraku asks again. "You can become one. In order to do so is to marry a princess." The face informs him. "Then show them to me." Naraku commands. The face sighs. "Here are eligible bachelorettes." He said showing three figures. "Bachelorette number one is Kanna who is young and sweet. She has a thing with her mirror, to make like her fullest." Some guards applauded for that. "Bachelorette number two is a girl who feels that's like the wind itself. And she might even blow you away. Please welcome Kagura." A few applauded for her. "Last but not least is a damsel in distress, who is guarded in a terrible feline guarded castle. She is looking for her rescuer, Princess Kagome." Some applauded as well. Naraku has to think which one will be the perfect queen for him. "I'll have to go with number 3." He declares his choice. "Lord Naraku, you've chosen Princess Kagome." The mirror said to him. "All I have to do is find someone in order to do it." Naraku mumbles. "After sunset…" The mirror said trying to get the lord's attention. " Naraku halts him, "I'll make Princess Kagome my queen, and this will be the perfect kingdom. Captain assemble your finest men, we're going to have a tournament." Naraku grins evilly.
Inuyasha and Miroku come to the outskirts of the village Miroku talked about earlier. "That big castle is where Naraku is. He's not the kindest person, the villagers said." Miroku said as they get into the village. A couple of villagers are heading toward the castle. "I wonder what's going on at the castle?" Inuyasha asks curiously. Miroku shrugs his shoulders, "Beats me, let's check it out." They follow the villagers to the castle. At the entrance, they find that they have to pay to go in. "Looks like we have to pay them." Inuyasha said with some annoyance. "No worries, I'll take of it." Miroku assures him. They come to the door of the castle. "We would like to enter." Miroku requesting. "I'll have to protest because of him." The guard said referring to Inuyasha. "What do you have against me?" Inuyasha angrily asks. "Relax, I'll take care of it remember." Miroku said reminding him. "He's my cousin. May we enter?" Miroku said while requesting with the lie of Inuyasha being his cousin. The guard sighs, "Fine." Miroku bows and pays him, "Thank you." He said as he and Inuyasha go further into the castle.
There was a noise coming from deep within the castle. "It's coming from the back." Inuyasha said twitching his ears to get an accurate location where the noise is coming from. Inuyasha and Miroku walk down the halls, until they find a commotion. They hear a voice coming from the back, "Everyone. I'm so grateful for you to risk your lives to do this dangerous quest to rescue the lovely Princess Kagome. It may cost your life to save her, but you must know how to save from where she was kept, if you are to save the both of you and her. If succeeded, I will grant you any wish your heart desires." Inuyasha cocks an eyebrow, "I wonder why he's after Princess Kagome?" They come outside to see an arena full of the village. Miroku sees a number of samurai warriors willing to be chosen for this. They come into the middle where the villagers gasp at the two, basically Inuyasha. "Who said that these two could be here?" Naraku yells seeing the two figures. "I don't recall a half demon and monk to attend this tournament." Naraku said. "It looks like we'll have to kick them out. Whoever can defeat the half-demon and the monk, will be champion." Naraku protest the samurais. Inuyasha rolls his eyes, "This guy is so stupid." Inuyasha mutters quietly. "It's been a while since I had a good fight." Miroku comments for what they're getting themselves in. "Let's go." Inuyasha yells as he begins the fight with his speed, While Miroku fights the other samurai warriors. Inuyasha finds a roll of rope and calls out, "Miroku!" Inuyasha said as he throws an end of the rope to Miroku. "Got it." He calls back. Inuyasha smirks as he runs around the rope around all the samurai warriors, "Looks like they're no match for us." Inuyasha said with a cocky smile. When they were all tired up, Inuyasha knocks them out with a huge hit on their heads. Unknowingly, the villagers applaud to them. Naraku glares at them but then smirks, "I'm proud to announced that you're on to a noble quest." He calls them. Inuyasha turns to him. "I want you to the get the mobs around my area to leave me at peace." Inuyasha demands to Naraku. "Why would I want to do that?" Naraku asks evilly. "It turns out I'm the big prize to them, when I'm just minding my own business." Inuyasha explains his reason. "Oh it was me who wanted you. That's why I sent those mobs after you." Naraku chuckles. "Exactly!" Inuyasha shouts back irritated. "I'll make you a deal. Go on this quest for me, and I'll resolve your mob issue for you." Naraku said to him. Inuyasha looks around the arena realized that there's a lot of guard about to shoot him. "What kind of quest?" He glares at Naraku.
