In Which Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned
Lights aura: Hey everyone! I got a chappie within a week. (feels proud)
Amu: It's a miracle. She updated all her stories within a week and I didn't have to threaten her.
Lights aura: Anywho, I hope you enjoy the chappie!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. If I did then I could write for the rest of my life… that would be fun…
Tala was more than happy to take me to the others. In fact, I was beginning to wonder if it was a great idea to have Tala come. We were whipping by trees so fast, that I was beginning to get a headache. Shippo was holding onto Tala's tail screaming bloody murder.
I was tempted to yell High ho Silver but I figured that probably wouldn't be a good idea since Tala was in sort of a crazed state.
Within minutes we reached the others. Needless to say, Inuyasha was surprised to see us there.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Inuyasha demanded, "I thought I told you to stay."
"You did," I said as I jumped off Tala. "But I learned a new trick and thought I would help out." I quickly pulled out my sword. Keeping the image of Kit making fun of me, I formed the spirit sword.
Miroku's eyes widened. "How did you do that?"
"I just have to get pissed off," I said, feeling proud. The sword started to waver so I focused on Kit's image again. "Now stop making me feel proud. I'm trying to remain pissed."
"Then that will be easy," Sango said, "We have to go through that."
I felt my anger increase as I saw what was in front of me. Like Sleeping Beauty, there was a giant patch of thorny vines blocking our way to the castle.
"Oh boy," I said with a sigh.
"I feel like a human weed wacker," I said as I cut through a vine. Because Inuyasha and I had swords, we were the ones forced to cut through the vines. It was pretty easy to stay mad since these vines were so damn hard to cut.
"Keep going you two," Miroku said.
"Yeah," Shippo added, "put some backbone into it."
"Shut up!" Inuyasha and I said at the same time.
Shippo whimpered as he hid behind Tala.
After what felt like ages, we finally reached the entrance. Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I stuck Arashi back in its sheath. Cautiously, we made our way into the castle. The castle was quiet when we entered… too quiet for my tastes. The sounds of our footsteps seemed to echo loudly off the walls.
Inuyasha bent his head down as he sniffed the ground. "I've got Kagome's scent," he said as he stood up. "Follow me."
Leaning towards Tala, I whispered, "Man, I wish I could pick up scents. I bet I could find things I've lost a lot easier."
Tala snickered as we headed deeper into the castle. After a few minutes, the hallway dead ended at a double set of doors. Taking a deep breath, we opened the doors and stepped inside.
We were in a foyer with a grand staircase in front of us. Crammed around the edges of the room were coffins. In those coffins were women.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha said as he scrambled over to a coffin. We walked over as well. Kagome was in a white dress lying perfectly still.
"Is she…" I trailed off.
"No," Inuyasha said, relief evident in his voice. "Just sleeping."
"It's probably a sleeping drug," Sango said as she inspected Kagome. "A mild one is my guess. It will probably wear off in a little bit."
"I see you are admiring my collection of women," Gaagii said as he materialized behind us. "They are the best of the best."
I frowned. "Wait a minute. What's wrong with Sango and me?"
"Uh, Tori," Miroku whispered. "I don't think now is the time."
"Shut up Miroku," Sango said as she clenched her hiraikotsu. "I want to hear what he has to say."
Funny enough, Gaagii looked uncomfortable with our glares. "Well, you aren't good enough."
Sango's eyes widened. "Excuse me?"
"Oh, he is so going down," I said as I whipped out Arashi in its spirit sword form once more. "Are you with me, Sango?"
"Hell yeah," She said as she brought hiraikotsu above her head.
Inuyasha attempted to step towards us but was blocked by Tala.
"Beggin' your pardon Mr. Inuyasha but I do know a little 'bout women. When they're in this state, it's best to stay out of their way."
Surprisingly, Inuyasha didn't object. With a yell, Sango and I charged. Sango sent her hiraikotsu flying towards Gaagii. He tried to dodge it but he wasn't fast enough. He was slammed in the chest and sent flying into the opposite wall.
I jumped up in the air, Arashi over my head. Letting out a Xena war cry, I brought Arashi down on him.
Gaagii stumbled backwards, grasping his now bleeding chest. The jewel shard went flying out of his head and landed with a light clink in the corner. "I'm not going to deal with this," Gaagii wheezed. "I'm outta here." He hurled a smoke ball at us. Coughing and gagging, I tried to make out where Gaagii was. It was no use. By the time the smoke cleared, he was gone.
Glancing around, I noticed that everyone was starting to wake up. There was a gasp and I knew Kagome had awoken as well.
"What happened?" She moaned as she rubbed her head.
"You were kidnapped and Sango and Tori saved you," Inuyasha, disbelief evident in his voice.
"What?" Kagome said, "I must be dreaming then."
"No, it really happened." Shippo said. "It's a miracle."
Miroku smiled knowingly. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
Lights aura: Eh, I know, short chappie but at least it wasn't a cliff hanger.
Amu: (shakes head)
Lights aura: What?
Amu: Just ashamed at how pathetic you are.
Lights aura: (glares at Amu) I'm ignoring you.
In Case You Didn't Know:
1) I was tempted to yell High ho Silver: is a reference to the Lone Ranger. Never seen the show but love the line.
2)Like Sleeping Beauty, there was a giant patch of thorny vines blocking our way to the castle: is a reference to Sleeping Beauty. I love the Disney version even if it uses the word hell in a kid's movie.
3) Letting out a Xena war cry: is a reference to Xena: Warrior Princess. I had a friend was completely obsessed with her.
Alright that it's for now. Please remember to READ and REVIEW! Labans pentens until next chappie!
