Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
Inukai: Oh jeez this was a really REALLY long wait…crap I really have to read the last chapter…
Inuyasha: OMG am I really I mean r-really back!
Sango: Wow look I never remember it being so bright before!
Inukai: You guys it hasn't been that long…
San & Inu: YES IT HAS (Breaks down crying)
Inukai: Ugh (rubs eyes) let's get this show on the road…
Imouto-san…
"Of course not my child I would never do that to you." He said cupping her face with sympathetic eyes.
"No I-I can't believe that…" She said wiping her face away she started to back up into the cross she was held by and look dangerously at Mashinomoi.
"Inumi stop this right now listen to me." He said and stood, she self-consciously wrapped her arms around her stomach as he lowered himself down to her crouching form.
"M-Mashin-sensei…" She whispered in fear his eyes turned full blood red and started to glow.
"Act that way Inumi and I'll make you remember everything." At this point in time he didn't care if Inumi thought of him as the villain he just wanted to get rid of her and her pesky friends.
"No stop!" She said trying to look away but Mashinomoi took a firm grip on her chin.
"Inuyasha if we drag on like this we'll become just sand and bones." Kagome said in dread. Everyone was dragging themselves behind Inuyasha who seemed to be the most persistent to find Inumi.
"Don't you guys care about her! She's stuck with a maniac!" He said snapping at his groups whining. They were taking back and sighed so they picked themselves up and started out of the hole once again.
'4:03 a.m only…it has been day three in this place and I'm surprised we're not dead yet.' Kagome thought to herself looking at her watch.
"Come on Kagome we have to move quickly." Ayame said holding out a hand for her friend. Kagome took it and pulled her way up. She looked around and found her self running into the gate.
"It seems that these holes are also portals to different levels." Kanna said observing.
"So does this mean we've caught an advantage?" Inuyasha asked hoping for a yes.
"No it doesn't if the holes mean a portal that means they can transport us right back to level one. We should only use them when absolutely necessary." Sango explained to her mate. Inuyasha just 'oh'-Ed and grabbed the handles of the gate.
"Here we go level five Pride." Nimsay said looking at the mantle of gold above the gates. "Okay so these should be weak." She said and proudly walked in.
"Umm there's nothing here but a throne…" Shippou said stepping in cautiously.
"Still be careful anything might happen." Kanna warned and her mirror glowed "Don't let your guard down they're souls every where."
"What where I can't see them!" Inuyasha said panicking.
"Inuyasha get a hold of your self cool down! We'll figure this out. Okay so these souls have found out their invisibility power correct?" Ayame asked slapping Inuyasha.
"Correct everyone stick out your arm and if you feel the slightest brush of any thing attack immediately." Kanna replied. Everyone did as told and a whole mega load of attacks happened!
"Okay…" Nimsay sighed but everyone was still attacking so she became irritated.
"OKAY FUCK I THINK WE GOT THEM JEEZ!" She said screaming at the group they all laughed sheepishly and she sighed.
"Okay everyone RUN!" Kanna screamed out of no where.
"What why!" Inuyasha asked confused running along side Kanna.
"Why do you think there was a throne? Why do you think they call it pride?" She said voice trying to emphasize the point by quivering.
"Umm still do not under stand over here." Shippou said puzzled.
"We are running from the king the one who think he's the best, the boss, the honcho, the mafia leader, Bill, Dr. Evil, do you get my drift!" She said a little frustrated.
"So he's the stro-…AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Shippou screamed falling into a pit.
"Oh crap Shippou!" Kanna yelled and dove into the pit everyone else followed suit and a white light engulfed them.
Everyone slowly regain consciousness but Nimsay was the first to get a grip.
"Holy shit you guy's look." Nimsay said pointing at another gold mantle atop the gates everyone turned and their eyes widened in surprise.
"We went through another portal but this one turned out good…" Sango whispered in disbelief of what was happening to them everyone one seemed hesitant to nod afraid it will all go away as if in a dream but Shippou believed it.
"We're in Wrath…"
Inumi was on the floor bleeding from numerous cuts and gashed along her arms and back. Mashinomoi was walking around the room with a whip dragging across the floor occasionally he would crack it against the air just to see Inumi's eyes dilate in fear and her body shake.
Her eyes were now a midnight blue color and broken she was extremely frightened and seemed that every sound would make her jump in fear she looked frantically all around her, her breathing was shallow, and she was clutching the dirt right under her ear hoping for some type of comfort. She just stayed there lying on the floor…beaten, defeated, she had lost the battle.
"So you didn't want to remember any of it?" Mashinomoi asked. When she didn't answer right away he cracked the whip again.
"N-no I did not!" She said quickly in terror.
"Do you want me to take away the memories?"
"Y-yes…"'
"Which ones do you want to eradicate?"
That question flustered Inumi. She heard the laughter and kindness of her friends in her head and loved every moment of it but the pain and anguish that Mashinomoi and others had brought her had seemed to of equal the effects of her friends. She was afraid that her she would crack.
She just didn't know anymore…
"All of them…take away all of them…"
"As you wish."
"Wow they're so quiet." Kagome said observing the souls she was avoiding.
"Shh." The grouped hushed her and they continued on.
Inuyasha was in a whole other world. He seemed to of forgotten about avoiding the souls and just let them phase through him. He was trying to think of the good times he had with Inumi and Mashinomoi and hoped that she would be okay.
Flash back time yippee!
"Inuyasha-nii-chan I would like you to meet my awesome teacher Mashinomoi Yujiro!" A little happy girl said bouncing out of a grand ice temple.
"Hello Inuyasha-sama fancy meeting you." Mashinomoi said and put out a hand Inuyasha gratefully took with two. He ruffled his hair and Inuyasha giggled and blushed. "Good kid isn't you?" Mashinomoi played around and Inuyasha who still giggled nodded his head.
"Inuyasha-nii-chan let's go play inside for I while I want you to meet Tsuyouki-sama oh and Kasumi-chan said to tell you she missed you and…" Inumi started to trail off as she dragged her brother into the temple but it was clearly seen that Inuyasha had obliged to the invitation.
A woman in a long beautiful kimono came up to Mashinomoi with a small smile. She had long silky black hair and nice soft eyes.
"How is she doing so far? With her condition and all," The lady asked.
"Izyaoi I don't think your daughter has brain damage or anything of such. It has to do with her pow-…"
"She was not granted powers! She was sent here to train that curse that was passed down was not put inside her! I refuse to believe it!" Izyaoi yelled in a tantrum. She took a seat on a crystal bench and sighed. Mashinomoi joined her and patted her back.
"You'll have to accept it Izyaoi. The only way you'll help control her "them" is if you love her and support her." He finished calmly feeling as though using them instead of powers would have calmed Izyaoi.
"I-I understand…" She said and walked toward the temple to call her husband and children out.
"Mother what was that about?" A little boy that was a little similar to Inuyasha and Inumi but a little taller asked.
"Nothing Sesshomaru, don't bother your self about it." He nodded at his mother's request and looked as his father and siblings came out. He prepared himself for the glomps of his hyper active siblings.
"SESSHOMARU-SAMA!"
"Momma why'd you call me out I was whopping Nii-chan's ass in Red Faction."
"Sit down sweety AND WHO TOLD YOU TAUGHT YOU THAT WORD!" Izyaoi screamed at her daughter.
"Don't be mad at me Okaa I over heard Chichioya yelling it at Sesshy-sama and Inuyasha-nii-chan."
"I'll get him for that later…any ways Inumi you know your powers…"
"Yes the curse brought down?"
"No I-it's not a curse but it's not a blessing it's just one of those things that had to of happened. You see… (Sigh) here take this." She said and put a locket over Inumi's small head.
"Huh? What is think Kaa?" She said fingering the locket. She was about to pry it open with her claws until her mother slapped her hands off. "Itai…gomen Okaa-sama…" She said looking down.
"No sweety I'm sorry it's been very stressful lately you know what never mind I'll tell you the secret of the locket. Not only can you track Sakura down just incase it also holds a power inside it that nothing and I mean nothing can match. The legendary gods, goddesses, priest, priestess, monks, and miko's put all their power in that one necklace and it got passed down to me. It may open and grant people an odd power at times put that doesn't mean that's its real potential. Remember that Inumi."
"Hai."
Flash back end
"INUYASHA LOOK OUT!" He heard a voice behind him. He broke back into reality to find one of the souls about to attack him with furious red eyes. He blocked a punch he was about to deliver with his arm but still screamed in pain.
"Inuyasha what's wrong are you alright?" Sango said worried as she looked over Inuyasha's arm. The punch seemed to of exploded into Inuyasha's arm causing a hole that didn't go through the other side but was deep.
"Shit what are we going to do!" Shippou said coming over.
"Um here Inuyasha I think she left this for you." Nimsay said. She opened Sakura and they heard a rattle. She brought out the necklace that Inumi always wore and put it over Inuyasha's head.
"It made Sakura stronger but now it hasn't really been doing much. So when your arm got hit it finally started to react so I think it needs you or actually you need it." She said and the puncture wound started to heal slowly.
"Sango you stay with Inuyasha, Shippou, Ayame, and I will go fight off the demons so Kanna you can go with Kagome and try to get to the gates. We'll protect you." Nimsay said getting ready for the ride of her life.
"This is the end we're going to get to her this time…" She whispered.
