Here's another chapter. I hope you will like it. Also:
Rules of Inuyasha Relationships and Stuff listed by MissKatress:
-If a rival gives his crush a flower, he gives her 10 bouquets.
-If you see that an another man gives your crush something she likes, it makes sense to buy her at least 1,000 of those things. Another maybe that if a rival gives your crush some food, you give her a feast.
-Maybe if you see one spider it's considered Naraku/Naraku's followers, thus needed to be killed xD
-If you see Kana yell Bloody Mary xD Shippo sees Shippo does xD (monkey see monkey do).
-If you see another man flirt with you chick, do what is necessary to rid of the man.
-Sesshomaru buys Kaori and Kagome kimonos so Inuyasha buys her a wardrobe.
I really like this list. It is amusing! xD *clapping* Good job, MissKatress. Amazing! Wonderful! I love you! *huggles*
Warnings: Possible slight oocness like always, cuteness perhaps, paragraphs of what is happening more than actual talking sort of, reference to the Hunger Games, and grammar errors are possibly in this chapter :P *sings Nobody's Perfect by Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus*
Chapter Fifty-Three: Nightmares
The gang was inside a very creepy looking forest. Inuyasha was sniffing the ground while the others walked behind him.
"Well, Inuyasha? Have you found a way out of this forest yet?" Shippo asked, standing right in front of Inuyasha.
"Shut up! I'm trying to concentrate," Inuyasha said, moving so Shippo wasn't in front of him anymore. He sniffed around some more.
"That is never not cute," Kaori thought.
"Yeah, I know, but you've been at it since morning and it's getting late," Shippo stated. He started to shake a lot.
Inuyasha looked at Shippo, curiously. "How come you are shaking like that?"
"Ah..." Shippo sweat dropped a little.
"Miroku, I knew I didn't like this forest," Sango commented.
"Yes, I'm sure of it now. We're in a demon's territory," Miroku said.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise that scared everyone...but Inuyasha. Shippo jumped onto Inuyasha's head as Inuyasha stood.
"I really don't like this place..." Kaori said slowly.
Kagome looked at her bike. "Oops. Blew a tire again."
"Why do you even drag that around?!" Kaori exclaimed. "You don't ride it and if something happens, Inuyasha or myself can get you out of here!"
"I forgot about that," Kagome stated.
"Eh?" Kaori sweat dropped. "That's...nice."
Kagome gasped a bit and turned to look a certain direction. "Did you feel that? Something evil is heading this way."
"Looks like we're about to finally meet the demon that reigns over this forest," Miroku stated.
"Hopefully, it's nothing we can't handle," Sango said.
"Mhm," Kaori commented.
A swarm of moths headed their way and flew around them.
"Hmph. This demon should be easy enough to get rid of," Inuyasha said. He threw Shippo off of him and pulled out Tetsusaiga. "Quit stalling and show yourself!" Inuyasha sent an attack towards where the demon was coming from. The attack didn't reach the demon since he counter attacked.
Garamaru chuckled evilly. "Welcome to my Forest of Sorrow."
"I don't believe it," Miroku said.
"Kagome, don't we know him?" Shippo asked.
"Yes. That's Gatenmaru," Kagome said.
"Uh... I don't think so, Kagome," Kaori said.
"Heh. So you know Gatenmaru. He's the benign of my tribe of moth demons. I hear he banded together with humans and then got himself killed by a half demon," Garamaru said.
Inuyasha smirked, standing in Garamaru's line of sight and standing in front of everyone else. "A half demon did kill him. The one standing right in front of you. IF you are looking to avenge his death then I'll gladly take you on."
"Avenge? Heh, he deserved to die. I could care less about him," Garamaru said.
"Yeah, whatever buddy. You still gotta die," Inuyasha said. He then attacked Garamaru.
"Inuyasha, be careful!" Kaori yelled.
Garamaru shot blue orbs out of his mouth which Inuyasha dodged. Inuyasha attacked Garamaru more but Garamaru would either block the attacks or dodge them. Inuyasha heard his friends yell and turned towards them. Blue orbs were stuck to their bodies.
"It's moving!" Sango exclaimed.
"It won't get off!" Shippo exclaimed.
"What is this thing?!" Kaori exclaimed.
The blue orbs entered their bodies, making them all suddenly weak. Inuyasha ran towards his friends, mainly Kaori, but Garamaru spit out some substance at Inuyasha's friends and mate, trapping them in poison cocoons. Inuyasha tried to cut them out but Tetsusaiga couldn't cut through the cocoon. Garamaru laughed evilly. Inuyasha clawed at the cocoon to try and tear it open but he couldn't.
"By morning, a part of me shall take over their hearts and souls," Garamaru said.
Inuyasha wasn't giving up on getting everyone out of the cocoons. "I'll use the Wind Scar. It's my only option." He thought about what could happen. "No, I could end up killing them. I have no choice but to get rid of that damn moth demon."
Meanwhile, the rest of the gang were having nightmares from their worse memories. Sango's nightmare was of when Kohaku had died (before he was brought back with the shard), Miroku's nightmare was of witnessing his father's death, Shippo's nightmare was of seeing his father dead, Kagome's nightmare was of Naraku getting to her era, and Kaori's nightmare was of Inuyasha leaving her for Kikyo.
Inuyasha began to fight Garamaru. He easily cuts down Garamaru, however, the moth demon still lives as he will use Inuyasha's friends and mate to make a new body. Inuyasha proceeded to go back to trying to break open the cocoons.
"Break open, damn you!" Inuyasha clawed at the cocoons but his claw marks vanished as quickly as they appeared on the cocoons. "Kaori! Kagome! Shippo! Miroku! Sango!" he yelled, trying to get through to everyone.
None of them could hear him. Sango's nightmare continued as Kohaku killed Kirara and Kagome causing Sango to have to attack him and resulting in Kohaku harming her. Miroku's nightmare continued as younger him became current him and his hand swallowed Kagome, Sango, Shippo, and Kaori before it began to swallow him. Shippo's nightmare continued as he was being chased by lizard demons. Kagome's nightmare continued as her school is attacked by Naraku. Kaori's nightmare continued as Inuyasha makes out with Kikyo while Naraku captures Kaori and begins to have his way with her.
Inuyasha continues to try and cut open the cocoons. "Kaori! I'll get you and the others out of these things! I swear I will! Don't let the nightmares take away ll of your strength!" He clawed the cocoon that Kaori was in. "Wake up, Kaori, or that damned moth demon is going to devour your soul and take you away from me!" He continued to claw at the cocoons.
In Sango's nightmare, she is about to kill Kohaku and plans to kill herself afterwards, but Inuyasha appears to help her and keeps her from killing Kohaku and herself, causing her to awaken inside the cocoon. In Miroku's nightmare, Inuyasha grips Miroku's hand that contains the wind tunnel and yells at him, causing him to also waken. In Shippo's nightmare, he hears Inuyasha's voice and defeats his nightmare enemies, awakening soon afterwards. In Kagome's nightmare, she is running from Naraku and Inuyasha saves her, causing her to awaken as well. In Kaori's nightmare, Inuyasha pushes Kikyo away and saves Kaori from Naraku, thus allowing her to be the last one to wake up.
Everyone started to break out of the cocoons. As soon as Kaori was out, Inuyasha had her in his arms in seconds.
"You did it. That's my girl," Inuyasha said softly, kissing her forehead.
Kaori smiled. "Let's get out of here."
Inuyasha nodded and let go of her. He pulled out Tetsusaiga once again and using the red Tetsusaiga, he breaks through the barrier around them with Wind Scar. Th creepy forest they had been in vanished, revealing living trees and clear meadows.
"The forest is gone," Shippo said.
"It was just an illusion?" Kagome wondered.
Miroku nodded. "Yes, it appears so. It was all an illusion created by Garamaru."
"I am so glad that is over. That nightmare was horrifying," Kaori said, shaking her head as if that would make her forget it.
Inuyasha held her in his arms again. "I'm glad all of you guys are okay. Especially you, Kaori. I was afraid you wouldn't make it."
"Always worrying," Kaori said. "I'm not leaving anytime soon."
"I love you," Inuyasha stated.
"I love you too," Kaori told him.
The two shared a loving kiss as their friends watched. Not wanting to ruin the couple's moment, they whispered amongst themselves.
"They really are perfect for one another," Kagome whispered.
"Didn't we have this conversation before?" Sango whispered.
"Probably," Kagome whispered.
"We wasted a lot of time with Garamaru," Miroku whispered.
"It's more like Garamaru wasted our time than we wasted time with him," Shippo whispered.
"We should tell them that we need to move onward," Sango whispered.
"I don't want to ruin their little...reunion after what happened," Kagome whispered.
"Let's give them a few minutes," Miroku whispered.
After a few minutes, Inuyasha and Kaori were still kissing.
"So... who's going to interrupt their make-out session?" Kagome asked in a whisper.
"I volunteer Miroku as a tribute," Sango whispered, pushing Miroku towards the lovely couple.
"Why me?" Miroku whispered.
"Because who cares if they hurt you," Shippo whispered.
Miroku glared at him before moving closer to Inuyasha and Kaori. "Uh... sorry to interrupt, but we need to get movi-" Inuyasha pushed Miroku away from them while he continued to kiss Kaori. Miroku landed on his ass.
"We're going to be here for a while," Sango whispered.
"Yep," Kagome whispered in agreement.
"Ow..." Miroku groaned.
