Chap 9 Helpless Female BEGONE!

Hello all of you out there! You'll be happy to know that even though this took me awhile to write I'm going to finish this and my other story before I go to camp this summer (which is soon approaching) so you won't have to wait a month for new chapters. And sorry but yes this fic is coming to a close but I've got big plans for a new one when I get back. I'm very happy, a lot more people responded to my last chapter so I know I haven't been abandoned. Since no one answered this question on my other fic I'll ask it here: I've been doing a sort-of part time project where I assign theme songs to anime characters. Right now I'm doing Yu Yu Hakusho. So far I have The Anthem for Yusuke, We're in Heaven for Keiko, Fighter for Genkai, Without Me for Hiei, The Hamster Dance for Kuwabara, and (this just added) Soak Up the Sun for Shizuru since she's so laid back. NOW ON WITH THE FIC!

Keiko, Kagome, and Botan had gone about five minutes into the cave when they decided to go back and try and find Hiei. They turned around and were shocked to see endless caverns behind them, a result of the Storyteller's magic. Now they were hopelessly lost in a cold, dark, cave. Since they obviously weren't going to be let out they decided to press forward.

They had only gone a few feet when they heard a rumble.

Kagome gasped, "What was that?"

The others didn't have a chance to answer before there was another rumble, this time the ground shook and sent them fling in different directions. Rubble from the cavern's ceiling came shooting down and made crashes like thunder. Suddenly it was gone as quickly as it had come.

Keiko fell again with a thump and rubbed her sore hind. As the dust cleared she looked around for the others. She didn't see anything at first but then she spotted Kagome's shoe sticking out of a pile of rocks.

"Oh god," she cried and hurried to her new friend. She began desperately removing stones until she could see her face, thankfully she was still breathing.

She coughed a bit and was able to weakly ask, "What happened?"

"It looks like it was some kind of earthquake," said Keiko. "I bet that Storyteller demon did this!"

Kagome groaned a bit and pushed the last of the rocks off her. "Do you know where Botan is?"

"No, I was looking around and I only saw you." They looked around and started calling for Botan. A minute later they hear a weak voice coming from one of the walls.

They hurried over to it and Keiko cried, "Botan is that you? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," said Botan, "but I seem to have been sealed in on this side of the wall. Don't bother trying to loosen the boulders it would take days."

"What are we supposed to do then?" asked Kagome. "We can't just leave you here."

"You're forgetting why we came here in the first place," said Botan. "Inuyasha and Yusuke need our help. We've wasted enough time already. You should go and try to save them if you can. I'll try to find another way around to meet you. After all if anyone should be trying to save those boys it should be their girlfriends right?"

Keiko and Kagome twiddled their thumbs while looking at their feet. Then both said, "Well he's not really my boyfriend...."

Botan gave an exasperated sigh through the wall, it didn't matter what dimension they were in, those four just could not admit the obvious. "That doesn't matter, what matters is that you go to them and save their sorry butts for once instead of them saving you. You two can do this, I know you can! Helpless females BEGONE!"

"Alright!" said Kagome and Keiko who were now, for some reason, extremely pepped up. They had gone a full forty feet before they realized they had no way to fight any demons let alone one this powerful. Kagome didn't even have her bow and arrows for crying out loud! Before they had time to stop and think of a battle strategy Kagome noticed a light in ahead of them. It got brighter as they got closer and soon they were in a well-lit chamber.

In it was the Storyteller who was facing away from them and was chanting something at Inuyasha and Yusuke who seemed to be in some sort of trance. Keiko was about to call out to them when suddenly the ritual was complete. The boys fell to the ground and started to scream but that soon stopped and they just quivered.

"You monster!" said Keiko. "What have you done to them?"

"I'm simply writing the final chapter in my story," the Storyteller smiled. "Picture this: two young heroines set out on a journey to save the ones they love, as they move forward their allies leave them one by one until they are alone face to face with the one that has wronged them. but before they can do anything they must struggle with their hearts as their loved ones try to kill them without mercy," Just then Inuyasha and Yusuke rose from the floor, their eyes were glowing red. "for you see their loved ones are now the villain's slaves." The Storyteller threw its head back and laughed evilly.

Sorry to leave you hanging like that but this chapter was getting long and I have homework to do anyway. Don't worry though because I have to write enough chapters soon to finish this by the 28th or so. Don't forget to answer my question at the top. What theme song do you think I should have for Kurama? How about any others? Inuyasha ones would be appreciated too. Till next time. Seeya soon!
