Okay, the reason I haven't been updating lately is because I kinda got
grounded from it during the week. So I can only write on Saturday. At least
until my grades improve. ^^ ;;;;
Chapter 10: Connection and Disconnection
"Well, isn't this magical." Inu Onna said in an annoyed voice. She hung upside down in the spiderweb where Namida put her. She looked up and realized how weak the branch that she was hanging from was. She started to swing back in forth until the branch broke.
WHAM!
She hit the ground on her face and the rest of her body followed. "Ouch." She muttered and realized what it must've felt like when Inu Yasha got sat. She recovered and started to slump away like a caterpillar. 'How degrading,' she thought. 'I'll kill that poisonous Kikyo spawn!'
It was a relief for Namida to see Botan, the only one she really liked. She hadn't seen him for a whole month, but she wasn't alone now. She sat contentedly in his arms and rested her head on his shoulder. He blushed lightly because he could feel the group's eyes on his back from the tree where Inu Yasha landed. He shifted her weight and sat her on the step-up on the cart. He took a step back from her and leaned in to whisper, "Namida, what's going on?"
"I came here to get revenge!" she said rather loudly making him wince.
"On who-" he started but then he heard Miroku walk up behind him and say, "Uh, Botan? Is there something you'd like to discuss with me and everyone else?"
The priest grew fifty sweatdrops and laughed embarrassedly. He turned to see everyone looking at him waiting for an explanation. He turned to look at Namida who was stareing up at him with large eyes of admiration.
He sighed and said, "Why don't we all sit down."
They made a small fire and sat around it as Botan told about when he found her, and he gave her the panda pelt, "When my grandfather got home, he was drunk and when I asked him to make Namida into a nun, he got mad at me for making promises for him and boxed my ears. Then-"
"He was MEAN!" Namida suddenly shouted. Everyone looked over at her, "He shouldn't hurt people like that especially not you!"
She leaned on him with soulful eyes looking up at him, "I didn't mean to kill him and hurt you though so I left you sorries."
"Sorries?" Kagome asked.
"These." Namida said pulling a lilac out of her pelt.
"Oh!" Kagome said. She remembered the pile of lilacs on the floor and the nuns and priest of the church buried with lilliacs on them.
"So you're the one who cleansed the church and put the people there to rest." Miroku said. 'But how could she have done that if she's so evil?'
Namida smiled and Musuko remembered Inu Onna, "Not to ruin the moment but, where is Inu Onna?" he said.
Then Namida'sression became angry and hateful again. "I'm not telling." She grumbled. Unpleasent thoughts sweep through her mind and her aurora flared. "EVERYTHING'S HER FAULT!" She shouted.
Everyone stared at her in shock. Then all of a sudden the aurora disappeared and she burst into tears. Botan looked at her a little worried but then she flung her arms around him and cried into his chest. He looked down at her then reluctantly patted her back. "Um,-it's-okay." He said.
Kagome leaned over to Inu Yasha, "Hey," she whispered. "Have you noticed he stopped stuttering?"
He nodded and they watched as Botan tried to soothe her. "Why is it her fault?" he asked. "My parents are dead because of her! If it weren't for her, I would be with them right now."
The place was silent for a few seconds, then Inu Yasha said. "You don't know what happened then, do you?"
She looked up at him confused then each one of them told what Naraku did to them and what he had done to even Kikyo and the other characters that aren't present. "He was not a good person, Namida." Kagome said.
Namida frowned and said, "How should I know if you're telling the truth. Maybe all of you were after him because you're cold blooded and don't give a girl time to explain when she tries to tell why she took the place of one of the members of your group!"
No one said anything after that. Then Musuko said, "What we did was wrong, we should've listened to you, but what we really want to know right now is if Inu Onna is okay."
"If she's okay now, then I'm gonna kill her later." She said.
Inu Yasha stood up to draw his sword when Botan suddenly jumped up and said, "Namida, please. She's our friend just like you are mine." He blushed a little and she looked like she had iust found out she commited a serious crime.
"I'm sorry!" she shouted putting her hands together like she was praying. "I'll take her to you now!"
Namida looked around the trees and said, "I don't understand! I could've sworn I left her here!" she kept looking like she would find her. "Well she couldn't of gotten far, she was tied up."
Then all at the same time, Namida, Kagome, and Honey felt a strange feeling. Honey looked around confused and Namida thought it was her stomach, but Kagome knew very well what it was.
"What?" Kouga asked.
"I know this might sound weird, but I sense a shikon shard." She said. Everyone looked at her in shock.
"Is that what it is?" Namida asked.
"At least that's what I think it is." Kagome said, "It's kind of different though, like it's been 'warped.'"
"Well then," Inu Yasha saidpulling her onto his back, "Like always."
"What about Inu Onna?" Kagome asked.
"If we have the shikon shard, we'll be able to find her faster." He said and got ready to take off.
"Wait a minute," Kouga said coming over. "Maybe she wants to ride with me!" then he coughed violently and sniffed.
"I'm afraid you're still sick, Kouga-kun." Kagome said. Yo'd better ride on the cart. Namida clung to Botan and said, "I want to ride with Botan."
Inu Yasha walked past him and smiled mischievously, Kagome winked at Botan and the priest blushed.
"Point the way." Inu Yasha said.
Kagome pointed and said, "sick em' boy!" Inu Yasha flew off.
"YAH!" Musuko shook the reigns of his horse team and they pulled the cart with Kouga and Honey, who wanted to sit with her father on it. Kirara transformed and Sango, Shippou, and Miroku rode on her. Namida hugged Botan and said, "Hold on tight!" He held onto her as she blasted off into the air with a trail of misma floating behind her.
They traveled on for a few minutes. Kagome shouted behind her to the others, "Hey! There's a dense clump of trees coming up! Be ready!"
And sure enough it came. Trees flew past them like a flock of bats. It was dark and the sound of them rushing past boomed in Inu Yasha's ears. Then as quickly as they came they disappeared, but he was now missing something.
"Kagome?" the weight on his back disappeared and so had she. Musuko stopped the cart when he saw Inu Yasha looking around confused. Sango landed her demon cat and asked, "What is it?"
"Kagome's gone." He said.
"KYAHH!" They heard Namida, she flew around in circles shouting, "Where's Botan! Where is he! Where is he!"
"Calm down!" Miroku shouted.
"They probably just got caught back in those trees back there." Inu Yasha said. He flew toward the trees when all of a sudden, a long lock of hair came out of the woods and wrapped itself around his arm, then another clump of hair flew out, then another, then another, until each of his limbs were tied. They started to pull him into the hollow darkness of that eerie forest. He pulled and resisted. Then the hair became looser and he fell back. A voice said, "Sorry to disappoint. The hair grows."
He looked up and gasped to see one of the first oni's he faced after he woke up from Kikyo's curse. Yura of the hair stood on a few strands of hair and said, "La, do you remember?" there was one thing different about her, everyone in the group could see the hair see manipulated. She pulled at the air from an angle and some strands came up holding a pink backpack and Botan's staff. Inu Yasha gasped.
"Looking for these?" she asked.
He growled up at her, "What did you with them, Yura?!"
Yura smiled and started to fly towards the woods on her hair. Oh course everyone followed. But you can imagine how fast dogboy ran now that his daughter is missing and Kagome's been kidnapped.

Hey, I was trying to figure out which story and/or sequel I should get out next. So I think, "Hey! Why not let the reviewers choose!?" So then I gotta figure out where to put the poll, so I think to myself, "Sue, where are you going to put it?" I thought about the Auction story, but I have enough polls in there right now, and I didn't think it would fit to put it in any others so I thought, "Sue! Why not let your loyal Inu Onna readers choose!"
So I'm going to leave the titles of some of the ideas I have and which ever one you think sounds pretty, you mention it in your next review. If there's a tie, then I'll mention the finalists in the nexst chapter, probably with a description.
