Chapter 18:The Fun House, Scroll I
Inu-Yasha turned just in time to dodge the beam of thunder and his eyes grew large in surprise as he followed the trail of thunder to the larger man, Manten. "Thunder breath?" he said in awe as he dodged a another blast by jumping into the air and landing by Kagome, back to back. "This looks like it's going to get ugly." He stated as he watched Miroku and Sango creep behind a pie stand. "And messy."

Kagome only nodded as she turned to look at Inu-Yasha from over her shoulder and she opened her mouth but no words came from it. "Well, well." Manten said as he gazed at the two before him and Kagura. "What a pretty little vixen you are." He said to Kagome, "Pretty ladies make good hair potions." He laughed as Inu-Yasha growled, "You lay one hand on her and I'll personal give you a make over." Inu-Yasha stated as he raised his hand up to his face and twitched his hand to show sharp talon like claws to get his point across.

Kagura laughed a little and turn on her heels and faced Manten, "Shall we?" she asked as Manten grinned, "Lets." He stated as Inu-Yasha bent down in a crouched position his clawed hand still in front of his face, his other hand was at his side, flexed and ready to strike. "Kagome, head to the pie stand where Miroku and Sango are." He said in a monotone voice as Kagome nodded and turned and ran towards the pie stand.

Kagura watched at the girl was running to safety and Kagura smirked as Manten caught onto this and a black cloud started to form underneath him. Inu-Yasha's sharp eyes caught the look and the gaze of Kagura. He glanced to where she was looking and his ears picked up the sound of Kagura's fan being snapped open.

That's when he realized what was about to happen.

"Kagome!" Inu-Yasha cried out in fear as Kagura swung her fan towards Kagome yelling out: "Fuujin no Mai!" Bright white blades spun out from the fan at a great speed as Manten was in the air upon his large black storm like cloud, Kagome stopped suddenly as she heard her name.

Almost in slow motion, her raven hair was slowly catching up with her as she turned to look behind her too see Kagura's attack approaching her at great speeds. Her blue-gray eyes widened in fear as the light of the attack shined in her eyes and then she threw her arms up to cover her face. The blades hit the ground where Kagome once stood, the ground exploded and chucks of the earth went flying into the air like meteors.

Kagome opened her eyes to find herself in Inu-yasha's arms, he was balanced upon the Merry-go-round. His golden eyes where full of anger as he dodged a lighting blast from Maten and he landed before the pie stand and dropped Kagome off there.

"Stay here." He demanded and then jumped away as a ring of wind struck where he once stood. Kagome leaned against the wooden wall of the pie stand and looked at Sango and Miroku. "Kagome!" Sango cried out and pulled her friend over to them. "What's going on?" Miroku asked and Kagome closed her eyes. "Naraku is back . . . and with his gang and he's not happy." She said

Sango glared daggers over her shoulder towards the battle scene, "Two to one isn't very nice." She muttered and looked around her she saw nothing but pies and whip cream. She then looked out to her right to see a toy stand with wooden boomerangs and she smiled. "Stay here." She stated and before Kagome or Miroku could protest Sango got up and ran over to the stand.

She then ducked down as a lighting blast went by over head and she heard the cries of the dog-boy. She then reached up and grabbed the whole rack of the boomerangs. She then forcefully hoped them all as Miroku grinned. "Ah, I see. My lovely Sango is indeed intelligent." Miroku said as his eyes then scanned the area to find a lead pip near by.

"This will do nicely." He stated and reached across Kagome and grabbed hold of the lead pipe. He then looked at his wrapped hand and snickered, "Time to have some fun." He said as he glanced at Sango who now had a good many boomerangs and held two firmly in her hands as she nodded to Miroku. "Don't move." Miroku said to Kagome and then stood up and performed a hand plant and pivoted and at the same time leaped over the counter as Sango did the same from her side as she through a two boomerangs.

Inu-Yasha cursed as he was thrown into a stand and had destroyed it, he stood up and shook the dust out of his hair as two boomerangs flew by and hit Kagura in the head causing her to stumble. The two wooden boomerangs returned to Sango who was running, she raised her hands out to the side of her and caught the boomerangs and throw them again as she came to Inu- Yasha's side.

"Can't let you have all the fun now can I?" she said with a smirk as her weapons flew at Manten, who easily dodged them upon his cloud. "Kagura!" Manten yelled in irritation, "I'll get the bitch if you can handle those two."

"Hai." Kagura said as Manten glided towards the pie stand but was reward with a lead pipe to the skull. Manten fell from his cloud as it dissipated and fell onto the ground with a loud thud. The lead pipe suddenly did a 360 degree turn as a sudden gust of wind made it turn to come straight forward and back to its direction from which it came.

A hand shot out into the air and caught the pipe as a ring of beads clashed against the pipe. Miroku stood before Manten and smacked him in the skull with it. "Tisk tisk." Miroku said in his composed voice. Miroku then looked at Inu-Yasha, "Get Kagome and get out of here. We'll handle these youkais." Miroku stated as Inu-Yasha at first stared at him like a idiot and then nodded and dashed off to the pie stand where Kagome was.

Kagura growled and shot a deadly glare at Sango, "You'll pay for that! Manten!" she yelled as Inu-Yasha jumped behind the pie stand and then jumped out again with Kagome in his arms. "Go after the hanyou!"

Manten growled and then after a moment went after the hanyou as Miroku and Sango looked at Kagura. Miroku shifted his pipe into his other hand, freeing his cursed hand and Sango whipped out two boomerangs. Kagura smirked as he fire of the Ferris Wheel stood out from behind Kagura making her appear like a demon that sprang from the belly of hell.

"Ryuuja no Mai!" Kagura called out as she swung her fan at the two College students.

Inu-Yasha jumped from stand top to ride. The carnival was deserted not one living soul walked the grounds. Dead bodies where scattered about where layers of pieces of the broken Ferris Wheel lay, or lay with a slight fire about it. The full moon wasn't helping the eerie effect of the dead carnival.

It was supposed to be a place of happiness not a place for the dead. It was almost frightening for in the distance the faint sound of circus like music was heard. Inu-Yasha looked behind him to see no one following him. He prayed for the others safety. He landed beside the bummer cars.

Quickly Inu-Yasha pulled Kagome into the side for shelter, "Inu-Yasha." Kagome whispered with fear as she clang to his arm. "Miroku and Sango . . .oh kami." She whispered as Inu-Yasha looked around, "They'll be fine, trust me. Right now we need to get out of here."

"Where's the police? They should be here, the fire department, why aint they here?" Kagome mumbled not hearing Inu-Yasha. "Kagome?" Inu-Yasha asked with worry as he looked down at her. "Why aint they here? They should be here." She muttered as Inu-Yasha placed his hands on her shoulders. "Kagome, don't worry everything will-" Suddenly the light on the bummer cars came on and then the cars started to move. Kagome screamed as suddenly one car burst into flames.

Followed by another and another as the hit into one another. "What the fuck!?" Inu-Yasha yelled as he and Kagome barley dodged a speed bummer car. The two heard chuckling as Manten floated down to their level of sight. "Funny what an electrical charge can do isn't?"

Inu-Yasha took hold of Kagomes hand as they jumped out of the bummer car ride, he then stopped for only a moment to pull Kagome into his arms. He couldn't fight that youkai here, with Kagome in the way. He would have to find a place to put her! That's when something caught his eyes.

A large building with a clown face, its eyes in the shape of an upside 'U' his mouth wide open as if laughing, two great white gloved hands stuck out the sides of the building, the clowns curled red hair stuck out from under his triangle like hat. The stairs where painted like the tongue. Without a second thought Inu-Yasha rushed into the building with Kagome as thunder struck the stairs and Manten snickered.

The two had ran into a Fun House.
