Autumn: Inuyasha do us all a favor and SHUT UP!

Inu: And what are you going to do? Spank . . . uh oh. -gulp-

Autumn: -holds up an even larger wooden paddle than before-

Kag: How much do you wanna bet that Inuyasha gets swatted on the head first?

Miroku: I'll bet that if Inuyasha gets it on the head, the paddle will break. Lady Autumn is on fire today.

Shippo: Autumn's not on fire. I don't smell smoke.

Sango: Not that type of fire Shippo-chan. Her temper is on fire that's what the pervert means.

-CRACK . . . WHACK . . . splinters flying everwhere- -

Autumn: All right, now I feel much better.

Telepathic Talking

Chapter Three: Through The Looking Glass

Deep in the heart of the Northern mountains, under millions of tons of heavy rock, granite, molten gold and sulfer, a strange tomb stands, surrounded by brimestone and hot magma. The tomb was glowing a dark black color which made the surrounding rocks give off a gruesome, stomach renching smell. All the energy was coming from a single, solitary figure. A tall shadowed dragon, sitting on a throne of volcanic ash and lava.

The dragon was red in color, but its scales were stained black from being down in the tomb in which he had been sealed. The dragon's dark emerald green eyes flickered in contained anger, and also curiosity as he looked through a white bubble type image. "So, she has been resurrected. Just like the old hag said. Kenjin," the dragon bellowed. A tall, green scaled, yellowed eyed serpent demon slithered into the room, his yellow eyes glowing.

"Yesssss Masssssster? What issss your command?" The serpent hissed.

"Send them now. I want to see just how strong she is." The dark malevolent voice said. "Asssss you command." The serpent youkai nodded and disappeared out the tomb door. "We'll see just how strong you are, my dear great granddaughter."

Sesshomaru sat there next to the fire, clearly he was amused at how Miroku still got slapped and chased around for groping Sango. It was, indeed, a sight to see. Miroku was running around in circles with his arms in the air, shouting how he couldn't stop his hand, Sango waving her boomerang in the air, just mere centimeters from Miroku's head, and Kohaku running behind Sango, trying to stop her from killing Miroku. Akima was sitting there, next to Sesshomaru, laughing hysterically, while Kagome and Inuyasha shook their heads.

"Will he never change?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha snorted and then rolled his eyes.

"Not in this lifetime, or the next." Inuyasha muttered as he stuck out his foot, causing Miroku to trip, thus resulting in Miroku toppling to the ground with a thump. At this, Akima laughed harder. She was laughing so hard, that she needed to lean on Sesshomaru's shoulder for support.

"You people are so funny!" Akima laughed and then wiped her cheeks, where tears of laughter, had fallen. This is almost as funny as the time Miroku got chased by that giant skunk youkai! Akima said to Kagome. At the memory, Kagome started laughing as well.

"That was funny." Kagome said as she and Akima both calmed down.

Akima suddenly stopped laughing and her head snapped towards the North. Something's coming, its... uh oh... "Dragoons." Akima growled. (A/N: I have no idea where I got the word, but if you know where it came from please let me know.)

Sesshomaru caught the nearly inaudible growl and immediately he went on high alert. "Prepare for an attack." Sesshomaru said as Akima ascended into the air, eyes a blaze of apple green.

"Here they come!" Akima called.

Autumn: Sorry for such a short chapter, but hey, it's better than nothing.

Inu: ..... -still rubbing lump-

Kag: Well Inuyasha, at least you didn't get your hair singed off.

Miroku: I'm not going to comment on that statement.

Sango: I still think you should have given him a good swat on the ass.

Sessho:I have to agree.

Autumn: -is carving out a larger paddle- If he keeps on talking about my reviewers and my writing he'll end up being human permanently.

Inu: O-O... NO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!

Autumn: Oh I can... and I will if you don't shut up and tend to your knot. -glares menacingly at Inu.-

Inu: -gulp- Feh!
