"Dante, please burn down the door," said the blue woman. The red one nodded and blasted open the door with one of her fireballs. "Amisha, did we have to kill all those villagers just to get to this shrine?" she asked, walking in.
Amisha snorted and said with a smirk, "No, but it was a lot more fun to now wasn't it?" Dante nodded in agreement.
They were in a shrine, covered in bloody armor and rusty swords. Dante kicked a skeleton out of the way, "They sure don't know how to make a good offering."
The other side of the shrine had a large crystal rock. As they inched closer, they saw what was held inside the rock, another girl. This one was seemingly the opposite of Rose. She had dark brown hair that was not that wavy, but it was a little messy. It reached her ankles. She wore a pure black tunic, covered in a silver breastplate. Her arms were crossed at the chest, and her eyes were closed.
"Key," said Amisha, holding out her hand. Dante reached into her pocket and pulled out a key made of some sort of horn. Amisha threw it in the air and snatched it, then walked over to the crystal. She jammed the key into a hole and twisted it.
The girl inside opened her eyes, to reveal their oddity. They were gold and the pupils were diamond shape. The crystal melted and became a vapor. She stepped off the platform and stretched her wings. Yes wings. The one thing that really set her apart form Rose was the jade colored wings with flecks of orange. Her tail swished in the air, same color as the wings. Six horns were on her head, two in the normal "devil" position and four running down her part, starting from her forehead. She yawned, showing her little fangs and crack her knuckles.
"Who are you and what do you want?" she said in a stern voice, deeper and less angelic than Rose's.
"You have awakened, good." Dante smirked and put her hands at her hips.
"Armanda, we are Dante and Amisha, rulers of the Flame and Ice," started Amiee.
Armanda grunted and said, "So you have returned you good for nothing friends."
Dante's smirk vanished, "How can we have saved you form yourself? It was your idea to spilt into a good and bad side."
Armanda only turned to examine the weapons that were scattered on the floor. "You know Armanda, once you defeat your good side, you can be the powerful of the two."
Amisha smiled, if that didn't work, they would have to take extreme measures. Armanda stopped and turned, her look neutral. "If I defeat my good side, then I will be stronger than the two of us combined?"
"Yes, and your power has already gave a dramatic increase because of the Shikon no Tama shard on your horn."
Armanda looked at them confusingly and reached up to felt her foremost horn. Sure enough, a hard shard had embedded itself there. A creepy, evil smile played across her pale face and she asked, "Where is Rose?"
That made the two woman sweatdrop in embarrassment. "We haven't found her yet."
***
When Rose said she was dead, everyone thought she was crazy, or something else logical. She noted that she had no heart beat, and her body temperature was very cold. Which explains the reason why she was so pale. Either they just dismissed this and kept going, or just kept space from her and kept going.
That's when they heard the high-pitched shouts of one fox demon that came running at them. "Kagome! Kagome! DON'T LET IT GET MEEE!!!"
He jumped into Kagome's lap, as she was being held by Inuyasha. She winced at the pain he caused. "Don't let what get you?" asked Inuyasha. Shippo pointing a shaking hand to the blackness he came from.
As they stared through it, Rose was staring then laughed. "What's so funny?! And who are you?!" asked Shippo, jumping out of Kagome's lap.
Rose suppressed her laughter and said, "It's only a rat!" She walked into the darkness and came out, cupping a rat in her hand.
Shippo jumped and his behind Sango. Kagome shrieked, she hated rats. Sango and Miroku just stared at this dead girl holding a rat.
"What? It's just a poor defenseless creature and- hey it bit me!" she said tossing the rat back into the darkness. "Defenseless my ass.." she muttered, sucking her wound. And all this time we thought she was INNOCENT.
***
After they got Shippo and the little group kept walking. That's when Miroku brought up that awful smell.
"What do you think it is?" he asked to anyone.
"It sure changes people, me and Miroku were at it like-.." Sango started only to be hushed by Kagome's disgusted look.
Inuyasha was silent. Miroku came up to him and said, "Did it affect you at all Inuyasha?"
He didn't respond and kept on walking with a solemn glance. Rose blinked, not knowing what they spoke of.
"I smelled something really awful but nothing happened to me!" Shippo piped in. Kagome thought again about how odd Inuyasha act right before he did *it*.
"You probably smelled the aroma of the desire fruit then," said Rose, nonchalantly.
"The desire-what?" asked Inuyasha, stopping and turning to face the dead girl.
"The desire fruit. It is said that in this cave, a tree grows. It bears fruits of foul odor but magnificent tastes. The legend says the smell of the fruit can make you temporarily bring out your true desires," she explained.
"So that is what the smell was.." Inuyasha said, he shrugged and kept walking.
"I guess that means you are perfectly happy if the smell didn't affect you Shippo-chan," said Sango, smiling at him.
"No, it doesn't affect fox demons for some reason," Rose said, noticing Shippo's cute little tail. Shippo smiled and turned into a bouncing red ball.
'Bring out someone's true desires.,' thought Kagome. 'Does that mean Inuyasha had the desire to rape me? Use me as his slave? I hope it isn't true..'
***
"Hey! There is light up ahead!" shouted the happy ball that was Shippo, the entrance of the cave not to far ahead. "Finally we can get out of this place!" cheered Kagome. Everyone rushed out.
It was nighttime, the full moon was shining brightly. Somewhere far off, a wolf was baying at it. They 'celebrated' and continued their journey back to the village.
***
It was almost dawn when they tired group reached Kaede's hut. They all collapsed on the floor. Eventually, most of them fell asleep, except Rose, she was chatting with the awake-more-than-ever Kagome. Since she slept in Inuyasha's arms on the way there, she wasn't the least bit tired.
"So you are from the future time and you came from a magic well?" asked Rose. Kagome nodded.
Rose was silent for a minute in thought. She then asked, "What really happened to you? In the cave? A fall is not going to tear your clothes off you know."
Kagome held her breath and was about to say something, when Rose got a terrified look on her face. "The sun! It's rising!"
Kagome looked out the window to see the clouds stained with orange and purple. It was a beautiful sight, but something about it scared Rose to death..then again she was already dead.
"What is something wrong about the sun?" she asked the cringing Rose. The girl was covering her face from the rays that slowly inched towards her. She scooted back, with a look of pure fear on her face. "The sun! It'll burn me till I really die!" she said, backing against the wall. Kagome's eyes widened in shock.
"The sun will kill you?! How?" she asked. Rose had tears running down her face, she realized that they were tinted red with blood. "I haven't been entirely honest with you, I am a dead human, but I'm a living demon! I'm a vampyre! Please help me!" she pleaded.
Kagome snapped and closed the window quickly, Rose trembled and sobbed in the corner. "You're a vampyre?!" hissed the awaken Inuyasha. He in fact had been awake for sometime. Rose nodded, sniffing.
Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and pulled her to the other corner. "Do you know what this means?" he whispered to her, glancing warily back at the girl. "No, not really."
"Vampyres are known for their deception. They lure unsuspecting humans, demons anything with their charm and then east them!" he hissed. Kagome gasped but then said, "I doubt that girl would harm us," in a lower voice she said, "Should we get some garlic just incase?"
"I'm not deaf," muttered the tear-streaked Rose. They turned to her. "Garlic doesn't work on vampyres, that's just a silly superstition. I won't "eat" you, you have shown me to much kindness for me to do that."
"How are we supposed to take your word for it? Vampyres are known for the tricks!" said Inuyasha. Surprisingly, none of the others were awakened. Rose clenched her jaw and said quietly, "I was very hungry when I came out of the ice, I would have killed you all already if you did not show me the kindness you had."
Inuyasha eyed the girl and whispered to Kagome, "I still don't trust her." Kagome scowled at him and said clearly, "Give her a chance! She might be true to her word!"
"Keyword, might," he muttered. Rose's bottom lip trembled then she hissed, "Fine, I'll leave then. I'll go burn in the sun while you find you precious jewel shards." She stood up and grabbed the shard on her forehead and ripped it off, bits of her skin were still on the shard, and a blood cut was down her forehead. She sniffed and picked up a cloak. She put it on and covered herself entirely. With one last glare at Inuyasha she opened the door and winced as a thin ray of light touched her hand, she drew it back, clutched it at her chest and walked out.
Kagome looked at the door and then glared at Inuyasha. "See what you've gone and done! Now she'll probably die out there!"
"Better her than me," he said, wiping the skin off the jewel. Kagome looked fiercely angrily at him and said, "Sit boy!"
As Inuyasha's face flew into the ground as Kagome stood up painfully and walked to the door. She looked out to see Rose walking towards the forest edge. "Wait! Rose!" she yelled. Rose turned around and yelled back, "Why? I'll just kill off your friends if I do!"
"Inuyasha is just being a jerk! You can come back!" she shouted, motioning for her to come back in. Rose smiled under the hood and said, "I would, but I need someplace to stay while the sun is still in the sky. I'll return at sunset!"
***
The others had risen, and Kagome told them about what happened. Inuyasha just sat grumbling in the corner. "Cool, I never met a vampyre before!" exclaimer Shippo. Sango blinked, "Well, that "dead" part sure gave that away."
