The Fourth Scroll. . .
Double Trouble. . .
Moving to the fourth chapter!Here we go!Let's see what happens next!
Kagome walked out around eight in the morning through eight thirty to see Inu-Yasha sitting on his usual limb,"Come on!We need to get an early start if we are going to find that shard!"
Eatting breakfast was no problem,ofcourse,on the account that Inu-Yasha had also snook into Kagome's chocalate stash again,she noticed that after about two seconds.
(Two seconds after Kagome checks her bag. . .)
"INU-YASHAAAAAAA!"she yelled.
"What?"he asked innocently.
(After about an hour of doddling and yelling. . .)
"I am never leaving my bag with you again!"muttered Kagome as she walked after Inu-Yasha down a path.
"Feh."was Inu-Yasha's only reply.
Shippo walked after them,he suprisingly had Misu on his head and he liked her there.
"What are you doing with that rat?"asked Inu-Yasha seeing it.
"I dunno. . .I guess. . .I just like it!"replied Shippo.
Kagome sweatdropped as they kept going,she had never heard Shippo talk so much baby talk before,after two hours it was getting kind of sickening.
"Oh Misu!You're so adorable!"said Shippo.
"THATS IT!"yelled Kagome,not being able to stand it any longer.
Shippo blinked slightly and smirked,"You jealous Kagome?"
"Me?Jealous?Of that!?"gasped Kagome,"NEVER!"she yelled.
Inu-Yasha shook his head still in thought about his dream as they walked along the path,not noticing how dreary their surroundings were becoming or the fact that the fog they had entered an hour ago was thickening,making it harder to breathe and harder to see.
---------
Shippo looked around with Misu still on his head,"Hey. . .where did everybody go?"
"Puu puuu. . .."said Misu slowly,getting scared.
"We have to find---dad?"asked Shippo suddenly seeing a figure in the fog.
The figure was his father. . .
"B. .. but how?Father!"he yelled running to him and hugging him.
"My son!"replied his father,though Shippo couldn't see it,a dark grin was on his father's face.
"Oh father!I thought you were. . .huh!?What the-!"yelled Shippo seeing his 'father' turn into a long,white,cold hand grab him and it formed into a tentacle and held him in the air.
"HELP!"yelled Shippo loudly,but no one could hear him.
Misu bit the tentacle but another one grabbed her,"PUUUUUU!"
--------
"Inu-Yasha?"called Kagome out now lost,she couldn't see the others or hear them.She was alone in a thick fog in the woods,"Shippo?Where is everyone!?Huh?. . .Inu-Yasha!"
Kagome ran up to Inu-Yasha suddenly and smiled,"Thank goodness I found you!I was so scared!"
"Don't be scared!I'm here now. . ."said Inu-Yasha wrapping his arms around her.
Kagome was a bit suprised by this suddeness,"What are you-"
"I won't ever let anyone harm you. . ."he said soothingly,"No one will hurt you. . .I'm here now. . .Kagome. . ."
". . .Inu-Yasha. .."said Kagome looking into his eyes,suddenly his grip tightened,"Huh?Ow!That hurts!"
"I love you Kagome!"said Inu-Yasha,suddenly he turned into a tentacle,a strange creature was laughing at her,all of the kids at school were yelling at her now,everything was spinning and the tentacle wrapped tighter around her.
"Inu-Yasha!Help me!"she cried feeling something cut her from the tentacle.
------------
Inu-Yasha looked around a minute a bit confused.He heard someone call his name,but who?He looked around slowly at first then noticed the others weren't with him,"Kagome!Shippo?Misu?Where are you?"he asked looking around cautiously.
He stood there very cautiously before he heard a familiar voice,"Hello there,brother."
"Sessho-Maru!"gasped Inu-Yasha gripping the Tetsusaiga in his hand now.
"Flattered."replied Sessho-Maru
"Where are Kagome and Shippo?What have you done with them???"asked Inu-Yasha in a rage,he looked angry.
Sessho-Maru floated in the air in silence smirking,his white hair falling to its usual legnth and his cold eyes sparkling a bit,"They are safe. . .for now."
Inu-Yasha's eyes widened,"If you do anything to them. . .I swear I'll-"
"Calm down,dear brother. . .if I did anything to them I would lose my Trump Card."smirked Sessho-Maru.
Inu-Yasha paused,"What do you want,bastard?"
"Quite touchy he is,m'lord!Would you like me to dispose of him?"asked Jaken looking at Inu-Yasha.
"You dispose of me?Hah!Never!"said Inu-Yasha smirking.
"No,Jaken.All I want. . .is the Tetsusaiga. . .and your life."said Sessho-Maru smirking,"If you survive the challenges ahead of you. . .come to the Ruins of Sephrim.We'll be waiting,and so shall your friends. . ."said Sessho-Maru smirking slightly.
"Errr!No!wait!"yelled Inu-Yasha as Sessho-Maru and Jaken vanished,he saw Kagome and Shippo vanish as well right before his eyes,"KAGOME!"
The mist cleared slightly,a boiling pool of acid was within what looked like a lake.Inu-Yasha fell to his knees,a tear streaming down his face,"This is all my fault. . ."he whispered outloud.
Suddenly a large bubble popped in the acid lake make a loud GLOP! noise.Inu-Yasha didn't care though,he was sulking,his untidy white bangs over his eyes.
A large tentacle shot out at Inu-Yasha who let it grab him and fling him around in the air.
~What's the point in fighting back. . .~he thought slowly then said outloud,"Without Kagome I'm nothing. . ."
A loud RIPPPPP SPLSH! was heard suddenly and the tentacle was flung to the shore,the creature letting out a roar of pain as it's tentacle was sliced off.
Inu-Yasha looked around a second,slowly standing,"What. . .happened?"
Kuro-Aki landed at the edge of the lake then jumped up again,"RAGING CLAWS!"she yelled,slicing another of the eight tentacles off of the creature which still remained under'water'.
"K. . .Kuro-Aki???"stuttered Inu-Yasha staring at her.
"Inu-Yasha!You have to help your friends!You can't give up!Kagome is counting on you!"she said as she took out two more tentacles with her "RAGING CLAWS" attack.
Inu-Yasha looked down thinking a second.He didn't see the huge tentacle with the stinging thorn at the end coming towards him.
FWAMMMMMMMM!
Inu-Yasha was pushed out of the way and rolled on the ground stopping seconds later to see Kuro-Aki took the hit for him and now had a bloody shoulder.She winced lightly but came back up again,ignoring her new wound.
"RAGING CLAWS!"she yelled as she jumped up,her claws extending again as she ripped through the tentacle,jumped off of another one and slashed through yet another,"Six down and two to go!"
Inu-Yasha jumped up into the air suddenly,"CLAWS OF STEEL!"he yelled,ripping a tentacle that was about to hit Kuro-Aki from behind.
"Is that all of them?"asked Inu-Yasha as the two landed back to back.
"No. . .one more left. . ."said Kuro-Aki.
"Well,let's get rid of it then!"said Inu-Yasha grinning slightly,though still serious.
From the lake came a huge creature,the head of a giant squid yes but only one tentacle remaining.It looked like it was made of fog except for the tentacle and it was raging.
"Split up!"yelled Kuro-Aki as the two both jumped different ways,avoiding the oncoming tentacle.
Inu-Yasha swung around,dodging two swipes from the tentacle before he sliced through it with his claws,causing it to fall to the groudn,evaporating instantly.
"Wha. . .it's not dead?!?"asked Inu-Yasha puzzled as he saw the squid become even mroe angry,it began to move about like a worm and two more tentacles splurted out.
"Hmm. . . . . . .oh boy. . ."sighed Kuro-Aki sweatdropping,"It can regenerate?!"
The two tentacles flew at the two with massive speed,however they dodged luckily and looked at the thing.It was huge and raging now,the acid began to splash and bubble.The two knew they had to do something to sustain it.
Then it hit Kuro-Aki in the head (an expression) and she looked to Inu-Yasha,"Inu-Yasha!Make the tentacle do a loop!"she yelled.
Inu-Yasha didn't have time to thuink,he just did what she said and then Kuro-Aki jumped right through it with the tentacle following behind her,making it tie a not in its own tentacles so that it couldn't move anymore.
The squid yelled and wailed like a baby but it couldn't get loose.Kuro-Aki looked at it a moment and sneered before turning to Inu-Yasha who looked at her in suprise,not really sure what to say right then.
"Are you okay?"asked Kuro-Aki looking at him,not caring about her shoulder still.
"Yah.. . I'm fine.But that. . .that.. .unconsiderate,uncaring,monster took Kagome and Shippo as well as Misu!"said Inu-Yasha,not feeling like cursing,though he would have right then and there because he was so angry.
"Don't worry,Inu-Yasha.I will help you get your friends back.But you have to calm down first!"said Kuro-Aki shaking her head at him.
Inu-Yasha's eyes narrowed,"Calm down?Calm DOWN?You trully expect me to calm down when my friends have been kidnapped by a walking,talking,son of a-"
"Inu-Yasha!You'll never get them back with that attitude. . .come on,let's get going now.Where did he say he was going?"asked Kuro-Aki tightening her wrist bracelets.
"He said he would be in the Ruins of Sephrim. . .wherever that is. . ."muttered Inu-Yasha feeling like crud.
Kuro-Aki sighed,"Why couldn't he have chosen another place. . .grrrr,that's quite a long ways from here. . ."said Kuro-Aki sighing,"And it only appears at a certain time."
"Oh great!"said Inu-Yasha sarcastically,"Which way?"
Kuro-Aki held up a crystal necklace and suddenly the point flew into a certain direction,"That way. . ."said Kuro-Aki following the point's direction.
"We're depending on a crystal???"muttered Inu-Yasha.
"Well,no.We're depending on a Kage Oni Jewel."replied Kuro-Aki smirking.
Inu-Yasha sweatdropped severly.
