Reunion Chapter: 4

            The clouds around them begin to darken as they neared the last village before the "Plains of Darkness".

Sango: This is the last village…the place adventurers called "The Last Front".

Kagome: Isn't that a creepy name for a village?

Sesshomaru: This village…it reeks with the smell of blood and death.

Sango: Of course, this village takes in anyone that has come back alive from the "Plains of Darkness". Too bad most of them died within a day or two.

Shippo: I don't like this place…it's too creepy.

Inuyasha: Bah! Let's just go in and gather information now.

Miroku: Inuyasha's right. We should gather as much information as possible before we venture any further.

            The group walks towards the fortress like village. The giant gates open as if telling them to enter. It was a small village, surrounded by a wall just like Sango's village. There was only two ways out…the west side and the east. The houses were in poor condition and many people who lived here were either guarding the village or working in a small patch of wheat that was by each house. As Inuyasha and the gang enters, a guard stands in there way.

Guard: Halt! What is your business here?

Sango: Inuyasha let me handle this… I am demon exterminator Sango and I have come with my companions to travel to the east.

Guard: If you are a demon exterminator, then why do you travel with a hanyou and a youkai?

Sango: That is none of your concern. We ask for shelter and supplies for our travel ahead.

Guard: …Very well, I will grant you passage to the "Plains of Darkness". You can find an inn over there and for supplies go to the armory. But beware the Guardian and his minions.

Inuyasha: Tch. What's so special about this Guardian anyway?! He's probably just so weak youkai that kills weak humans and demons.

Sesshomaru: I beg to differ brother…I can smell a dangerous youkai nearby.

Miroku: Let us worry about this tomorrow, for now… let's just rest ok?

Sango: Come on let's go to the inn.

Shippo: (Lies down) Ahh…it's so good to sleep in a bed!

Kagome: It sure is Shippo! (Yawns) I'm gonna go to bed for a bit. Hey, Inuyasha!

Inuyasha: What?

Kagome: Can you please wake me up when its time for dinner?

Inuyasha: Sure whatever…

            After dinner…

Miroku: That was a good meal!

Shippo: I'll say! I can't eat another bite!

Sesshomaru: … (Gets up) Excuse me… (Walks out)

Shippo: What's his problem?

Miroku: Mysterious indeed.

Kagome: (Yawns) Huh? Where is everyone? (Growls) I bet Inuyasha forgot to wake me up! Ohh…I'm gonna get him for this!

Inuyasha: Damnit! I forgot to wake Kagome up!

Miroku: That's Inuyasha for you…

Shippo: Geez… I thought you can't get any dumber! OW!!!

Inuyasha: Shut it fox! (Leaves)

Sango: …He's gonna get "sat".

Miroku: Yep.

Inuyasha: (Enters Kagome's room) Kagome! I-

Kagome: SIT!!! How could you do that Inuyasha! I'll bet you probably ate dinner too!

Inuyasha: (Groans) I just forgot! If it makes you happy I'll look for some food!

Kagome: Now I'll probably starve and it's all your fault!

Inuyasha: My fault?!

            Just then, Sesshomaru enters from a nearby window with a bowl of rice in his hands.

Sesshomaru: Here…

Kagome: Thank you Sesshomaru! See Inuyasha! Why can't you be more like your brother? At least he is nice to a girl!

Inuyasha: I'm nice!

Kagome: Yeah, and I suppose calling me "bitch, wench, stupid etc" is nice huh?

Inuyasha: Uh…

Sesshomaru: Can't even take care of your own women…that is pathetic (Begins to walk out)

Kagome: Just a minuet Sesshomaru! (Searches her bag)

Inuyasha: Huh?

Kagome: (Hands him a piece of chocolate) Here, I know it's not much but think of it as a token of what you did!

Sesshomaru: Such a sweet aroma…what is this? What do you call this…?

Kagome: It's called chocolate! It's a delicious treat from my time.

Sesshomaru: …I accept your gift.

Inuyasha: WHAT! Why does he get chocolate!

Kagome: Because HE is nice to me! Unlike you!

Inuyasha: Grr…dumb bitch…

Kagome: SIT!

Inuyash: (Groans) Damn you!

Kagome: I'm going to the springs. (Pause) Don't you dare follow me!

Sesshomaru: …Understood. (Leaves)

Inuyasha: Tch! Who'd want to see your ugly body anyway?

Kagome: SIT!!

Inuyasha: AAAARRGGHH!!!!

Sango: Sounds like Inuyasha angered Kagome again.

Miroku: What has Inuyasha done this time to cause her to be angered?

Shippo: Who knows? It's probably either he made fun of her or did something he was not supposed to.

Miroku: Well, I am heading of to bed.

Sango: Yeah, I'm pretty tired myself. Good night.

Shippo: I'm gonna wait for Kagome to come.

Miroku: Perhaps she is in th- nevermind. Good night (Leaves)

Sango: (Grabs Miroku) you're not getting off so easily! (Wham!) Now behave yourself! I'm sure Inuyasha will be back any minuet and you don't want him to see you peeking at Kagome now would you?

Miroku: …

Sango: Good, now Shippo, you keep watch till Inuyasha gets back. Good night. (Leaves)

Miroku: …How does Inuyasha do it?!?

Inuyasha: Are we all ready?

Sango: Let's go.

Miroku: From this point on, there's no turning back.

Guard: Opening the gates of hell!

All: (Facefaults)

Miroku: They seem to have no trust in us…

Inuyasha: Whatever! Let's just beat the Guardian, cross Skull Valley and get this over with!

Sango: This area is like a desert; no life what so ever…

Kagome: Maybe we should send a scout in…

Inuyasha: Right, Shippo! Transform into the stupid balloon and scout the place.

Shippo: Huh? Why me?!

Inuyasha: Because I say so now go!

Shippo: Fine! (Transforms) OW!

            Just as Shippo enters the Plains, he was forced back by a barrier.

Shippo: What was that…?

????: Enter the plains with your strength, never your weaknesses.

Sesshomaru: I see…we shall have to walk thought without any help from above.

Kagome: Without any help from above…? You mean we have to walk through this place blind?!

Sango: It seems so.

Miroku: Well then let's get going.

Inuyasha: (Nods)

Shippo: I'm scared Kagome…

Kagome: Don't worry Shippo, We have our friends to protect us. I just hope our friends would be enough…
