Chapter Three: One Heck Of A Train Ride
Inuyasha pounded on the door of Gome's room over and over again trying to wake the girl up. When
Miroku came into the hallway behind Inuyasha, dressed and ready to go it just infuriated Inuyasha
farther. Pounding harder on the door, Inuyasha figured that Gome had to be awake by now, she
couldn't sleep through that, could she?
"WAKE UP WENCH!" Inuyasha shouted, having lost his temper.
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!" came a scream from inside the room.
"I called you a wench! Thats what you are! And if you're not out here right now I'll break
down this door and drag you out by your hair!" he shouted back through the door having it opened
revealing Gome holding a chair over her head to bring it crashing down on his head.
"If you ever call me a wench again, I'll kill you!" Gome screamed breaking the chair over Inuyasha's
head and slamming her knee up into his groind.
Miroku grimaced and watched as Inuyasha went down holding himself. Gome merely tried to fix her
hair which had fallen from the ponytail which had made it look short, when in all actuallity it
went to the middle of her back. Inuyasha stood up after a few minutes and stared at Gome as she
grabbed a brush from inside the vanity in the far corner of the room, starting to brush her hair.
Where had he seen that brush from before? It seemed so familiar in the woman's hand that he just
stared, this had been the Princess Kagome's room, hadn't it? Inuyasha stared as the woman before
him pulled her hair back, took the longest hairs and wrapped them around to make a ponytail so
tight that it made her hair seem short.
"Before you two get into another fight, our train leaves in an hour, but if we get there now we
don't have to wait in the long lines." Miroku said, actually wanting to get there early enough
to write up their 'tickets' so that they could ride the train.
"Alright, Shippo, come on boy." Gome said and walked past Inuyasha with the dog following behind
her growling at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and walked with them, all of them following Miroku who had his belongings
in a suicase and Inuyasha's as well. Gome felt as though she were leaving behind her home as they
left the palace, through an entrance she hadn't noticed the day before. Inuyasha watched as the
woman in front of him left the palace almost reluctantly, as though she wanted to stay there, even
though she had only flashes of memory from the place.
After a while of walking they reached the train station where they boarded the train and Gome
picked out a compartment for them to sit in. Gome sat on one of the seats next to the window
while Shippo sat across from her. Inuyasha glared at the dog and Miroku as he sat next to the
animal leaving him stuck to sit next to Gome. Gome was slouched and fidgeting with the necklace
around her neck, which of course drove Inuyasha nuts.
"Sit up straight and stop fidgeting." he growled out at Gome.
"Inuyasha, do you think I'm really Princess Kagome?" Gome asked, her eyes flashing in anger.
"Of course I do, you know that." Inuyasha said.
"Then STOP telling me what to do!" she said, and turned to look out the window.
"Well she certainly has a brain." Miroku muttered.
"I hate that in a woman." Inuyasha muttered getting smacked by Gome.
At that Miroku took out a peice of paper with two names written on it; Inuyasha and Gome. Looking
down at the paper he marked down another two dashes under Gome's name. The score was now Inuyasha
10; Gome 30.
"What are you writing Miroku?" Gome asked from the cornor of her eye.
"The score going on between the two of you." Miroku said spiking up Inuyasha's interest.
"And what is the score? Gome 1 and Me 60?" he asked, thinking high of himself.
"Actually...More like Gome 30 you 10." Miroku said.
Gome started laughing in amusment. Shippo's tail started wagging nonstop. Inuyasha looked like
he was going to kill Miroku for keep score. And Miroku merely put the paper into where he had
gotten it. After that Miroku went back to drawing up the 'tickets.'
After a while of sitting there Gome fell asleep in her seat, her head leaning against the window.
Inuyasha looked at the woman beside him and glared at her, but then his face softened a bit when
he saw her smile in her sleep. Miroku had finally finished the 'tickets' and had given one to
the others. Miroku had just went out of the compartment to get a drink from the dining car when
he stopped as he heard two people talking about the tickets.
"You know, these tickets were black last month, now their green!" one of the people say.
At hearing this Miroku ran back to the compartment where Inuyasha looked up to see Miroku looking
upset. Raising an eyebrow he stood up as Miroku told him about the tickets. Shocked Inuyasha
suggested that they get to the baggage car where they wouldn't be asked about their tickets. Miroku
agreed, grabbed his and Inuyasha's bags and left going to the baggage car leaving Inuyasha the
task of waking up Gome.
"Gome, wake up. Wake up!" Inuyasha said shaking the girl so hard that when she finally woke up
she slammed her hand up hitting Inuyasha in the nose.
"I'm sorry I thought that you were- Oh you are who I thought you were. I'm not sorry then." Gome
said and watched as Inuyasha growled holding his now bleeding nose.
"We're moving to a better car, come on. I think you broke my nose!" he exclaimed quietly as she
picked up Shippo and followed him.
"Oh shut up you big baby." Gome said rolling her eyes.
When Gome and Inuyasha reached the baggage car Gome had a feeling that they hadn't told her the
truth about the tickets. Inuyasha started moving some bags and Miroku was looking around nervously.
Gome looked at Miroku in the eyes and he shifted his gaze away nervous about something.
"There isn't something wrong with our tickets, is there boys?" she asked, looking between the
two.
Inuyasha looked at Miroku who wasn't looking at either of them as Gome set down Shippo who ran
over to Inuyasha and bit his ankle. Shouting in pain Inuyasha flung the dog at Miroku who
caught him carefully getting licked in the face over and over. Sighing Inuyasha came up with a
quick plausible lie.
"Well, we didn't want you to have to mingle with mere commoners." he said.
"Uh huh, sure." Gome said rolling her eyes.
~*~Meanwhile~*~
Kagura being outside used her mystical fans to fly to the train and used a strong wind which
unlocked the baggage car and engine from the rest of the train. Smiling that her work was done
for part of her task she flew on her winds to the engine where she used another wind to speed up
the engine itself. Having done that she hid high in the sky using her winds to do so.
~*~When the cars unlock~*~
Gome and Inuyasha both lurched forward when the cars unlocked and fell into eachother, Inuyasha
ontop of Gome. Miroku and Shippo, whom he had been holding, merely staggered for a bit then looked
to where the source of the lurch came from; where the baggage car connected to the dinning car.
"Um, guys, we just lost the dinning car!" Miroku said staring.
"Get off of me Inuyasha!" Gome shouted kicking at him trying to get free of him.
"Ow, I'm trying. OW!" he shouted finally freeing himself of Gome to stand up. "Something's not
right, I'll be right back." Inuyasha said going to the spot where the engine was connected to
their car.
"Be careful." Miroku said as sparks started to fly. "'Cause I think our driver was just flambed!"
Inuyasha nodded and jumped to the ladder climbing to the engine. When he got there there were
sparks flying that he got hit with them repeatdly. Forcing himself to look at the gauges on the
engine Inuyasha watched as they all burst and flames shot out form under the grill at his feet.
"AH!" he screamed and ran from the engine and dropped down onto the the lock holding the two cars
together.
"What happened?" Miroku asked, he had set Shippo down by the suitcases.
"We're going to have to jump." Inuyasha said going over to the door they had used to get into the
baggage room and opening it to show that they were going way too fast to jump.
"After you." Gome said, motioning to jump.
"Okay, we'll have to unlock the cars." he said but just as he said that Kagura used her mystical
fans to control a wind to take incredibly hot coals to land on the lock melting it in place.
As Inuyasha jumped onto the other side of the lock, landing on a little platform behind the
engine he saw that the lock had melted. Growling in frustration he called out to Miroku for a
tool kit. As the two men broke the tools on the lock trying to get it open Shippo had found a
case of dynamite and started barking getting Gome to look. Raising an eyebrow Gome pulled the
lid off the case to grab a stick of the explosive. Lighting the stick of dynamite Gome pushed
Miroku out of the way and handed Inuyasha the lit explosive.
"This oughta work!" he said shoving the explosive into a small hole in the melted lock.
Jumping over the lock Inuyasha grabbed Gome and followed Shippo and Miroku behind a thing of
suitcases as the fuse on the dynamite shortened.
"What did they teach you in that orphanage?" Inuyasha asked and covered Gome as the explosive
exploded.
"Now what are we going to do?" Gome asked as the engine took off down the track leaving behind their
car.
"Well, we have plenty of track, so we'll just coast to a stop." Inuyasha said, but just as he
did Kagura again used her fans to blow the bridge a head of them to bits.
"You were saying?" Gome asked pointing.
"Okay, but I have an idea." Inuyasha said when he spotted and hook and chain.
With that said Inuyasha went to the back of the car he went under it. Making sure he didn't get
hit by anything he called out for Miroku. Meanwhile Miroku had fallen into the open case of
explosives. Rolling her eyes Gome went over to the chain and handed the first hook to Inuyasha.
"Where's Miroku?" he asked as he wrapped the chain around a rail and hooked it in place.
"Busy," she said, reaching her hand out to take Inuyasha's.
Once Inuyasha had ahold of her hand Gome pulled him up just in time that he didn't get hit by a
run away board. Gome and Inuyasha stared at eachother panting for a second before he got onto
the car again. Letting go of eachother's hands and brushing himself off Inuyasha sighed.
"And to think, that could have been you." Gome said her voice shaking a bit.
"If we live through this, remind me to thank you." Inuyasha said, not catching Gome's fear.
With that said Gome and Inuyasha pushed the heavy chain out of their car so that it bounced along
the tracks for a bit before the end hook, hooked on a board. As their car lurched forward the
hook dragged the boards from the tracks for a while before it jerked the car to the side. As the
car slid on its side Miroku grabbed up their bags and Shippo as Inuyasha jumped with Gome out of
the car escaping.
"Never again am I riding a train." Inuyasha said after they all landed on the ground.
"Ow...my leg." Gome moaned rubbing her bruised leg.
"At least you weren't killed." Miroku said as he stood.
~*~Back with Kagura and Naraku~*~
"That plan should have worked Kagura!" Naraku shouted causing the woman to flinch.
"Yes, Lord Naraku. But they will taking a boat to a port south of Tokyo, I can sink the ship."
she said.
"No, I have a better idea. Get on the ship, and when you do take this," at saying this Naraku
threw something through the barrier which Kagura caught with ease, it turned out to be a small
vial full of liquid.
"What is it, Lord Naraku?" she asked and at his maniacal laugh she flinched.
"That, is a liquid full of delirium. It will only effect a Higurashi, it is odorless, and is a
gas that is invisible. I want you to get on the ship, walk around for a while and drop the vial
when the Princess is in sight. When she is infected it won't take effect until she goes to sleep.
After that it is up to me. But, I want you to use your fans when it starts raining to turn the
rain into a storm." Naraku said.
Kagura bowed standing up. Putting her mystical fans into a fold of her kimono she put the vial
around her neck in a vial holder. Just as she was leaving Naraku added another thing.
"Oh and Kagura. If she doesn't die from this, you will." Naraku said causing Kagura to stiffen
before leaving and taking off for the ship.
