Chapter Two: Naraku's Forest. Naraku's Spells
*~*~*~*~Author notes: Hiya! Welcome to chapter two of the story. Let's see Inuyasha and CO. struck in a forest that Naraku led them in. Now Naraku and Inuyasha are almost face-to-face after many hours of walking on this evil path that for some reason disappears and trees are moving to confuse them. Scary yes but this is still an action and adventure story/ tragic. Tragic how? Well keep reading and you'll find out sooner or later. More likely later. I think there a bit angst in this too. I might try that genre later in my third Inuyasha story. We'll see. ~*~*~* Small_buttercup
Still facing his immortal enemy Inuyasha growled deeply. Was it a puppet or the real thing? He couldn't make up his mind. His gut instincts were telling him it was another puppet but his mind told him it was the real deal. His Tessiaga glowed in the same uncertainty Inuyasha still hadn't figured out that his emotions also control the sword he was wielded. Naraku knew he was getting to Inuyasha. The plan? Naraku plan was simple like most of them. Lead Inuyasha away from the group. Naraku sensed that Inuyasha was the heart of the group without him the humans would be lost and he could just let some lesser demon eat the fox child demon. Excellent plan just like all of them were and it would work cause it was working now. Inuyasha was slowly taking steps toward Naraku each one leaving a deeper imprint in the ground. Sango feared something evil was happening and also couldn't tell if that was the real Naraku or another clone. Kagome had her arrows ready and Sango stood beside her with her boomerang ready to thrust at Naraku head. Miroku and Shippo on stand-by. Inuyasha would decide the first action just as planed; after all, it was only fair Inuyasha got the first blow since he was the first one screwed by Naraku. Naraku felt the tension and push Inuyasha on, "Well Inuyasha clearly you have regained you mind and decided not to face my or you can't stop looking at me? After all wasn't it you and your sorry human friends and fox cub that wanted to fight me? Or do you want to fight and die with only your flea to mourn your death?" That was the insult that broke Inuyasha's last nerves. "Why you fucking baboon ass. You wanna fight? I give you a fight," scream Inuyasha. (A/n: Yet again, here's come a sorry attempt by me writing a fight scene. Don't hate it too much.)
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*& *&*&*&*&*&**&*&*&*&*&*
Inuyasha did his run, jump, and thrust the Tessiaga in the enemy attack first. Then swinging the sword full force in Naraku direction, which Naraku clearly dodged out of the way. Laughing at the poor excuse for an attack. More miasma filled the air as Naraku kept dodging Inuyasha attacks with his Tessiaga. Even more easily dodge all attack done with his claws. Sango and Kagome released their attacks together as planned. Naraku hid in a cloud of miasma to stop the boomerang form getting a full attack and the arrow piercing through. Myoga had been hopped off Inuyasha. No way was he going to put into an air-tight jar or get killed. Sure, he'll mourn their deaths but he wasn't going to be joining them. Miroku was about to release his wind tunnel was Shippo jumped up along with Kirara with their fire attack. (Does Kirara have an fire attack? Or does the fire only appears when she transform into her giant form? Let me know ok.) Naraku knew it would hit as he got away by flinging Inuyasha down to the ground with his tenclence arms. (Sp? I swear I don't know how to spell that word. Can't even look it up cause I don't know the first three letters.) Damn! It was a puppet after all or was it? It was one Naraku faster versions of himself that was for sure. The whole forest floor and sky was filled with the miasma that had come out it. It was chocking them all.
Kagome hoped that she could purify it again like she did the last time before they all passed out and were killed by Naraku dummy. She shot another arrow as Inuyasha was rebounding toward Naraku aiming for the heart. This time it did hit but only in the sides, yet shards fell out. "I can see them now! His tenclences are filled with jewel shards. That's why he so fast!," Kagome yelled a little too loud. Inuyasha let out a smirk, "If that the case then I go some yard work to do." He hacked vigorously now at Naraku limbs. He wasn't about to say no to jewel shards no matter how fast Naraku's puppet was. The limbs flew at him even faster as he swung his sword around and around. He was slicing and dicing and he was loving every moment. Kagome was right as always the jewel were flying out now. Shippo and the others did their best to catch them before they fell on the miasma filled floor. Scary enough as soon as the hit the ground they disappeared or seemed to go up in flames and smoke. "My gods the shards are so corrupted that they are simply bursting to pieces." Kagome shook her head, "No, some of them are fake. If you touch one of the fake ones it might burn you." Shippo nearly dropped the good ones that he had. ' Damn it! Naraku one sick ass mother fucker!' Shippo couldn't believe what he just thought! Inuyasha dirty mouth had ebbed off on him!
It a good thing he hadn't said it out loud Kagome might had pulled his tail for that. Oh well he didn't so he was safe and he would have blame Inuyasha for it anyway. Inuyasha continued his full assault on Naraku's dummy till he thought his arms would fall off. This wasn't going as plan. Miroku wanted to used his wind tunnel badly but he wasn't sure he felt like those poison insects were lurking by in fact he could heard them buzzing around.
"Kagome do you sense Naraku's poison insect around. I think I hear them. This miasma is getting to me I'm afraid to use my wind tunnel," cried Miroku rubbing his temples. Inuyasha growled down below the miasma that was forming around his head. Naraku was really trying to kill them with these crap. Inuyasha eyes were starting to blur and get watery. Kagome and the group traveled up on Kirara to try to get some fresh air and there was only some. Though blinded it gave Naraku a greater disadvantage now. Inuyasha could now power up his wind scar attack. He saw now with his eyes close there was the vertex and he went for it. Yet sad to say Naraku knew he had this attack now, so he filled this puppet with an extra amount of the ever- loving miasma. A thick cloud of it spilled out of the dummy as it cracked and busted into a million pieces.
That when Inuyasha felt something hit him in his nose hard, like a fist only harder. He couldn't see what it was or where it was as he fell onto the miasma-filled forest floor. "Inuyasha! We have to go back down there and get him. He could get an upset stomach!" Sango motion for Kirara to fly down and pick up the nearly unconscious Inuyasha. It took all three of them to pull the half demon up. Kagome gave him some Pepto-Bismol to ease his moaning. Yet it wasn't his stomach that bother him it was his nose the pain form the blow went away but it seemed that he still couldn't breath through it. Something had happen to his nose! 'Kagome right here but I can hardly smell her or the other. I can't even smell myself,' exclaimed Inuyasha to himself. This was bad really bad. He had lost his sense of smell!
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&**&*&*&*&*&*&*&* &*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
Inuyasha was getting worse by Kagome standards his face was growing pale and his golden eyes were getting duller. Sweat was pouring down his forehead. "What wrong Inuyasha? Why isn't the Pepto-Bismol working," Kagome cried out to him. Inuyasha breathing had become even harder like he couldn't breath out his nose. Inuyasha didn't want to talk. Talk no he couldn't, he wouldn't sound right at all. besides, he was still trying to force his eyesight. "damn dat measma," Inuyasha mumble. Kagome looked and smiled, "Oh you nose is clogged isn't it? Don't worry I'm sure you'll get you smell back soon enough." Inuyasha just nodded half heartily 'No Kagome my smell should have came back by now,' he thought as he let out sigh. He wasn't going to tell her about his weakness now. Losing his scent smell was just like being full human it meant he was greatly weaken. Then it hit him, 'That's what that bastard meant about a real challenge about showing my other weaknesses!!' Inuyasha thought. He let a low and slow growl. Kagome feared he was having more stomach pain and gave him some more Pepto-Bismol. She wished she had pack some Vicks vapor rub that would have cleared his nose up or got even more sicker. She knew Inuyasha had a very sensitive nose it could take a while before he got it back.
Kirara was starting to go lower and lower. Good thing the miasma was starting to wear off now since they had enter another part of the Naraku's forest; yet, still following the path laid out for them. Again as they looked behind them the trees closed in, the path disappeared, and now there nothing but a thick cloud of miasma covering where they had been. Kirara dropped down with a huge thud the others quickly got off her. She transform back into her smaller vision. The group was tired and was badly beaten. There knew it was going to be tough taking down Naraku but this was so unfair. From this whole fake forest where dawn would never come to this never-ending trail of miasma that followed them to the dozen of Naraku clones in the forest. Then the red eyes came surrounding them from all over.
This part of the forest was completely dark now. The group couldn't even see each other hell they couldn't even see there own hands in front of there own faces. Yet, there were those red wyes surrounding them. Inuyasha stood tall with his wobbling legs leaning against Miroku maybe. He wasn't sure it could be Sango. He wish his sense of smell would come back. Miroku smirked thinking it was Sango leaning against him so and stated, "Don't be scared Sango I'm here to protect you against these red-eyed demons." His hand wander away from his side to what he thought was Sango's butt and grope it. (A/N: Oh Boy! Miroku you gonna pay off that. Last time I check Inuyasha didn't swing that way. ) Inuyasha quickly grabbed his offender hand with a tight bone-crushing grip. "Damn you Miroku if you don't keep you filthy hands to yourself while where in here I'll rip it off. Don't you ever try to touch me like that again! I'm the one leaning against you. Ya big perverted idiot," Inuyasha growled as low as he could. ( A/N: if that possible)
The girls wanted to laugh but whatever those evil red-eyed monsters watching them from all sides of this scarier part of the forest took all the laughter away. They would have to laugh later. They came closer as the group got closer together it was getting darker as the things with red eyes came closer. "Damn it what are these things! I senses there demons of some sort. Inuyasha have you gotten you sense of smell back yet," asked Miroku who was getting uncomfortable knowing Inuyasha had been behind him and he actually touch his butt and that Inuyasha was still behind him. Yet now it seem like one of the girls where pressed on the side of him. Had to make sure. His wandering hand wonder to the wrong person and "Ow what the? Who just bit me," the young monk asked. Shippo squeaked up, "Inuyasha told you to keep you dirty hands to yourself! Stop touching me like that!" I spare the details in where exactly Miroku touched the poor little fox but I will say it will leave them scarred for the rest of their lives. Never had Shippo felt so violated he knew he shouldn't have jump in Kagome shirt again. Inuyasha was getting annoyed by all the little noises. "Shut up everyone I can't think! Miroku for the last fucking time keep your hands and you damn urges to yourself! You can grope later," Inuyasha yelled. To their surprised, some of the red-eyed things back off when Inuyasha yelled that last statement out.
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&
"Strange they are more afraid of them then were are of them. Oh my Gods, these are rat demons, Sango cried out. This cause Kagome to get queasy like most girls she didn't like rats. Rats are big, ugly, and can and have been known to carry all kinds of deadly diseases. Inuyasha knew who was who now. Miroku was behind him, Sango was to the left of him, Kagome was to the right, Shippo was with her and Kirara was in the middle now. Hmm, where was Myoga though? "Where's Myoga?," he finally asked. The little flea hopped off Shippo and on to his calling master and replied "here I am lord Inuyasha." Inuyasha nodded in the darkness and inhale deeply. "Fine that makes everyone now stay together and no more groping Miroku," Inuyasha growled behind him. "Yes sir!" was all Miroku could replied. Kagome was jumping around sometime stepping on Inuyasha's feet. "Oh GOD! There crawling everywhere. I felt one! I felt one," Kagome yelled. They had started to scurry all around them in huge circles, Kagome squeal and squawk about it fanning her bow around hitting a few of them as if they were golf balls.
Sango wasn't to scare of them stomping a few of them. Miroku thought it was best if he used his wind tunnel now. Screw the bees compared to the squealing and screaming done by Kagome he could take a little poison in his system. Sango was a manly woman indeed she was stomping and kicking the rats like hell while Kagome was like a whining little girl. "These are just regular rats there eyes are glowing cause Naraku is somewhere controlling them. There are not demons at all just regular rats, Stated Sango flatly as she kicked some more and added quickly "Miroku quickly use you wind tunnel don't worry those insects aren't near us at all!" Inuyasha eyes just barely adjusted to the darkness to he could barely see the rats and the others. Still slashing the rats with his sword, "Damn it how many of these rats are there. It them off my there making me itch like crazy." Miroku gulp and took a baby step forward "All right everyone get behind me. I finish it off." Miroku opened his hand after he was sure none of them were around him anymore. Sure enough, the buzzing of about a dozen of poison insects flew around them showing off their red evil eyes. Miroku closed his wind tunnel quickly in fear of being poison yet again. 'Damn Inuyasha how come you didn't tell me they were here," Miroku thought. Actually, it was best if he said that at loud but he didn't know how close Inuyasha was the last thing; he wanted was Inuyasha clawing his neck off his shoulders. Besides, even more the rats had started running towards them. it was a never-ending supply of rodents now. An army really a rodent army control by Naraku.
"Inuyasha haven't you got your scent back yet," asked Sango. Inuyasha was behind her and she knew cause he was letting out a low growl and mumbling something about smell. "No Sango I ain't got my smell back yet," the half demon yelled back. It was official now he really had lost it all his other senses were normal just not his sense of smell. No way could his nose still be clogged up like this for this long. Naraku must have done something with his nose. 'Damn it I'll kill you Naraku no nose or nose. Stupid bastard always fucking playing games with my emotions and heart. I'm not one of his dummies,' thought Inuyasha. He whole body quiver with rage now he hated Naraku, he hated this stupid forest of Naraku's, and he hated the fact that he couldn't smell anything or anyone around him! Yet it was a spell the whole damn set up was a spell. It was all just part of Naraku's demon magic. This was going to be another long and crazy night. " Inuyasha answer me what is wrong!? Why is your sense of smell back yet," ask Kagome in a more demanding voice than before. Being in a dark creepy forest with dozens of rats were her thing and it seemed Inuyasha wasn't even fighting or trying to get rid of the things wasn't making her feel any better. She wasn't like Sango who had a cast iron stomach for this kind of stuff. She hated rats, she didn't like being in dark places, and Inuyasha was getting annoying with all his mumbling and laziness.
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&**&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
'Should I tell her? If I tell her thing she know I can't help them with these damn rats things nor get them outta this place. Naraku could be right behind us and I'll never know. Sure, I can hint a strong evil aurora here and there but that's it,' Inuyasha thought. He was at a great disadvantage, which he couldn't just let go or fake it. He really couldn't smell anything and it meant trouble. Speaking of trouble Kagome had lost all patience with him, "Inuyasha you better answer me or these rodent will be all over your face!" He knew what it meant would she actually do it? Would Kagome let a bunch of who know what they have rodent crawl all over his face biting him and everything. They were mostly attracted to him anyway with his fire rat kimono on. They would be on him in no time giving him who know what and he would nearly powerless to stop them.
"ALRIGTH I CAN'T SMELL A THING! DAMN IT !YOU ALL ON YOUR OWN," Inuyasha hadn't really wanted to scream it out quite like that but everything was bugging him. He had hoped for a simple fight with Naraku. All he wanted was to go to the castle and kill that stupid demon. He didn't plan on getting lost in a stupid, dark, and evil forest filled with rodents and Naraku puppets.
The group was in shock. "What do you mean you can't smell a thing," The group scream back at the hanyou that lost his smell. "I mean I can't smell anything I can't even smell who is who," Inuyasha stated flatly. "Naraku didn't something with my nose in that last fight the real Naraku he's isn't in his castle after all. he put a curse on my nose and I can't smell anymore. My sense of smell should have been back hours ago or however long when been fighting these stupid rodents," he quickly added for fear of dozen question asking how, when and why his nose couldn't smell anything. He was sounding normal but he was still talking so fast since he couldn't breath out of it still. Shippo almost wanted to laugh at the poor hanyou's state yet he didn't want Inuyasha taking his frustration out on him. "Hmm, then it is best we get out of the darkness. Who knows who or what can be watching. Without you sense of smell working for you Inuyasha then you can't tell what's coming right," asked Miroku who knew the answer to that questions as well as anyone.
"Nah Miroku I talking this fast and breathing hard case I'm taking a new hobby. Idiot I just told you I can't breath or smell out of my nose it curse like your hand got it," answer a breathless Inuyasha. (A/N: Yes, there are still, fighting the rodent in between all of this with fox fire to arrows. No Shippo or Kirara's fire attacks won't make a enough light to light of the forest. Only send small one second flashes. Like a flash on a camera only a lot quicker and brighter. Same with the Tessiaga it's glowing but not enough to have any really effects going. Just some FAQ's for you.) "If there was some why to set fire to this place." Sango said before being cut of by Miroku who stated the clear fact, "If we set fire to this place we would all die there still a hint of miasma in the air plus rodents I have found are the flammable type. I feel a certain unstableness in this place like time and space have been alter." This was a hard hit for home to Kagome, "Time and space altered Naraku can control time and space now?' she thought to herself. Shippo really wanted to say what he thought a while back Naraku was a sick blanky blanky. Did that mean the forest could also change the weather? Shippo fear thunder storms even before the thunder brother attack his tribe and left him homeless. The little fox demon jumped back in Kagome's shirt shaking. "No I can't be brave anymore. I can't sorry Kagome. I'm just too scared now," The little demon cried out.
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&
"Feh pathetic little runt," Inuyasha mumbled but loud enough for them all to hear. Shippo knew he could take him on now. Shippo jeered out, "Look who talking? At least I can smell things. Like Kagome. Speaking of smell, Inuyasha when the last time you bathe?"
"WHAT! Why you little piece of crap don't make me look for you," yelled Inuyasha taking another harsh insult. "Ha that if you can smell me dog- guy," Shippo counter he wasn't scared of Inuyasha. Inuyasha thought of a way to find out where Shippo was since everyone had change spots again as they were still battling the annoying rodents. "Yeah keep talking Shippo. I still have my claws and fangs ya know," Inuyasha growled. Shippo was clever but not that clever. "It doesn't matter how much I talk you won't.Ow. Kagome help he grabbed my tail, cried the smaller demon. Inuyasha was smirked evilly nothing Kagome could do he was far away using Shippo like a stick against the rats. "SIT boy! Inuyasha crashed to the ground taking Shippo with him and also killing a few rodents. (A/N: Hmm a cool attack really most effective against the rodents. () Shippo never felt so flat it's no wonder why Kagome put him on a Ramen diet the guy was getting fat. The ward wore off faster than usually Inuyasha jumped up seizing Sango by the collar than Kagome. "Why you do that you hear him talking mess," roar Inuyasha. "Um, I am not the one who did this, Kagome over there. I really do hope you get you sense of smell back and soon," stated Sango.
"Yes for without Inuyasha sense of smell their no telling what." Miroku got cut of by the sudden smack against his head. "Feh what am I to you people you smelling nose dog. What about your senses huh? What's wrong with you people nose. This is a good chance for you to learn to use your own senses," Inuyasha said huffing down the monk neck. "Inuyasha stop it! Listen the rats are retreating. Are you sure all your other senses are working," said Kagome. (A/n: Not like they were fighting them anymore, anyway. With all the arguing they were doing, I would have left too.) "Hey what's that light. It's so bright," ask Shippo still trying to puff himself up. "It looks like we have fought our way out of the darkness after all, said Miroku.
"You were right young monk, I do control time and space of this entire area. I can make it as dark or as light as I want. I always chosen darkness before light, but since I was bored out of my mind with that last fight I might make an exception, said the dark evil voice of Naraku. From what Inuyasha's ears were telling him he was chose. Too close for confront. "Inuyasha why are you so stupid have you always relied on your nose and feeling for everything. How worthless can you get? Your not worthy of fighting me at all. I'm glad I placed that curse on you. For you are you little weakling comrade will never make it out of here alive and you'll never make to my castle," Naraku said with one of his dark evil laughs. It sent shivers down all their spines it was as if he was right in front of him but they couldn't see him. Then came they brightness and it wasn't like daylight were you could see. It was pure bright hot light that burned their eyes. "Damn it now he trying to blind me," Inuyasha cried as he closed his eyes. 'Damn it like he has a huge flashlight shinning it in our eyes,' Kagome thought. After being in the darkness for so long, this really hurt. Naraku laugh as the seven blind mice wondered around bumping into to each other not knowing what to do or where to go. "Did you like the darkness better? Perhaps my next army of demons can help you out," Naraku jeered.
~*~*~*~Author Notes: Another chapter come to an end and Naraku plots are still rolling. What stupid demon army does Naraku have planned to send out to Inuyasha and co.? While they can't see anything due to the blinding light and walking around trying to get to the castle? Find out in chapter three. ~*~*~*
*~*~*~*~Author notes: Hiya! Welcome to chapter two of the story. Let's see Inuyasha and CO. struck in a forest that Naraku led them in.

Shippo nearly dropped the good ones that he had. ' Damn it! Naraku one sick ass mother fucker!' Shippo couldn't believe what he just thought! Inuyasha dirty mouth had ebbed off on him!
It a good thing he hadn't said it out loud Kagome might had pulled his tail for that. Oh well he didn't so he was safe and he would have blame Inuyasha for it anyway. Inuyasha continued his full assault on Naraku's dummy till he thought his arms would fall off. This wasn't going as plan.

Kagome and the group traveled up on Kirara to try to get some fresh air and there was only some. Though blinded it gave Naraku a greater disadvantage now. Inuyasha could now power up his wind scar attack. He saw now with his eyes close there was the vertex and he went for it. Yet sad to say Naraku knew he had this attack now, so he filled this puppet with an extra amount of the ever- loving miasma. A thick cloud of it spilled out of the dummy as it cracked and busted into a million pieces.
That when Inuyasha felt something hit him in his nose hard, like a fist only harder. He couldn't see what it was or where it was as he fell onto the miasma-filled forest floor. "Inuyasha! We have to go back down there and get him. He could get an upset stomach!" Sango motion for Kirara to fly down and pick up the nearly unconscious Inuyasha. It took all three of them to pull the half demon up. Kagome gave him some Pepto-Bismol to ease his moaning. Yet it wasn't his stomach that bother him it was his nose the pain form the blow went away but it seemed that he still couldn't breath through it. Something had happen to his nose!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&**&*&*&*&*&*&*&* &*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
Inuyasha was getting worse by Kagome standards his face was growing pale and his golden eyes were getting duller. Sweat was pouring down his forehead. "What wrong Inuyasha? Why isn't the Pepto-Bismol working," Kagome cried out to him. Inuyasha breathing had become even harder like he couldn't breath out his nose. Inuyasha didn't want to talk. Talk no he couldn't, he wouldn't sound right at all. besides, he was still trying to force his eyesight. "damn dat measma," Inuyasha mumble. Kagome looked and smiled, "Oh you nose is clogged isn't it? Don't worry I'm sure you'll get you smell back soon enough." Inuyasha just nodded half heartily 'No Kagome my smell should have came back by now,' he thought as he let out sigh. He wasn't going to tell her about his weakness now. Losing his scent smell was just like being full human it meant he was greatly weaken. Then it hit him, 'That's what that bastard meant about a real challenge about showing my other weaknesses!!' Inuyasha thought. He let a low and slow growl. Kagome feared he was having more stomach pain and gave him some more Pepto-Bismol. She wished she had pack some Vicks vapor rub that would have cleared his nose up or got even more sicker. She knew Inuyasha had a very sensitive nose it could take a while before he got it back.
Kirara was starting to go lower and lower. Good thing the miasma was starting to wear off now since they had enter another part of the Naraku's forest; yet, still following the path laid out for them. Again as they looked behind them the trees closed in, the path disappeared, and now there nothing but a thick cloud of miasma covering where they had been. Kirara dropped down with a huge thud the others quickly got off her. She transform back into her smaller vision. The group was tired and was badly beaten. There knew it was going to be tough taking down Naraku but this was so unfair. From this whole fake forest where dawn would never come to this never-ending trail of miasma that followed them to the dozen of Naraku clones in the forest. Then the red eyes came surrounding them from all over.
This part of the forest was completely dark now. The group couldn't even see each other hell they couldn't even see there own hands in front of there own faces. Yet, there were those red wyes surrounding them. Inuyasha stood tall with his wobbling legs leaning against Miroku maybe. He wasn't sure it could be Sango. He wish his sense of smell would come back. Miroku smirked thinking it was Sango leaning against him so and stated, "Don't be scared Sango I'm here to protect you against these red-eyed demons." His hand wander away from his side to what he thought was Sango's butt and grope it. (A/N: Oh Boy! Miroku you gonna pay off that. Last time I check Inuyasha didn't swing that way. ) Inuyasha quickly grabbed his offender hand with a tight bone-crushing grip. "Damn you Miroku if you don't keep you filthy hands to yourself while where in here I'll rip it off. Don't you ever try to touch me like that again! I'm the one leaning against you. Ya big perverted idiot," Inuyasha growled as low as he could. ( A/N: if that possible)
The girls wanted to laugh but whatever those evil red-eyed monsters watching them from all sides of this scarier part of the forest took all the laughter away. They would have to laugh later. They came closer as the group got closer together it was getting darker as the things with red eyes came closer. "Damn it what are these things! I senses there demons of some sort. Inuyasha have you gotten you sense of smell back yet," asked Miroku who was getting uncomfortable knowing Inuyasha had been behind him and he actually touch his butt and that Inuyasha was still behind him. Yet now it seem like one of the girls where pressed on the side of him. Had to make sure. His wandering hand wonder to the wrong person and "Ow what the? Who just bit me," the young monk asked. Shippo squeaked up, "Inuyasha told you to keep you dirty hands to yourself! Stop touching me like that!" I spare the details in where exactly Miroku touched the poor little fox but I will say it will leave them scarred for the rest of their lives. Never had Shippo felt so violated he knew he shouldn't have jump in Kagome shirt again. Inuyasha was getting annoyed by all the little noises. "Shut up everyone I can't think! Miroku for the last fucking time keep your hands and you damn urges to yourself! You can grope later," Inuyasha yelled. To their surprised, some of the red-eyed things back off when Inuyasha yelled that last statement out.
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&
"Strange they are more afraid of them then were are of them. Oh my Gods, these are rat demons, Sango cried out. This cause Kagome to get queasy like most girls she didn't like rats. Rats are big, ugly, and can and have been known to carry all kinds of deadly diseases. Inuyasha knew who was who now. Miroku was behind him, Sango was to the left of him, Kagome was to the right, Shippo was with her and Kirara was in the middle now. Hmm, where was Myoga though? "Where's Myoga?," he finally asked. The little flea hopped off Shippo and on to his calling master and replied "here I am lord Inuyasha." Inuyasha nodded in the darkness and inhale deeply. "Fine that makes everyone now stay together and no more groping Miroku," Inuyasha growled behind him. "Yes sir!" was all Miroku could replied. Kagome was jumping around sometime stepping on Inuyasha's feet. "Oh GOD! There crawling everywhere. I felt one! I felt one," Kagome yelled. They had started to scurry all around them in huge circles, Kagome squeal and squawk about it fanning her bow around hitting a few of them as if they were golf balls.
Sango wasn't to scare of them stomping a few of them. Miroku thought it was best if he used his wind tunnel now. Screw the bees compared to the squealing and screaming done by Kagome he could take a little poison in his system. Sango was a manly woman indeed she was stomping and kicking the rats like hell while Kagome was like a whining little girl. "These are just regular rats there eyes are glowing cause Naraku is somewhere controlling them. There are not demons at all just regular rats, Stated Sango flatly as she kicked some more and added quickly "Miroku quickly use you wind tunnel don't worry those insects aren't near us at all!" Inuyasha eyes just barely adjusted to the darkness to he could barely see the rats and the others. Still slashing the rats with his sword, "Damn it how many of these rats are there. It them off my there making me itch like crazy." Miroku gulp and took a baby step forward "All right everyone get behind me. I finish it off." Miroku opened his hand after he was sure none of them were around him anymore. Sure enough, the buzzing of about a dozen of poison insects flew around them showing off their red evil eyes. Miroku closed his wind tunnel quickly in fear of being poison yet again. 'Damn Inuyasha how come you didn't tell me they were here," Miroku thought. Actually, it was best if he said that at loud but he didn't know how close Inuyasha was the last thing; he wanted was Inuyasha clawing his neck off his shoulders. Besides, even more the rats had started running towards them. it was a never-ending supply of rodents now. An army really a rodent army control by Naraku.
"Inuyasha haven't you got your scent back yet," asked Sango. Inuyasha was behind her and she knew cause he was letting out a low growl and mumbling something about smell. "No Sango I ain't got my smell back yet," the half demon yelled back. It was official now he really had lost it all his other senses were normal just not his sense of smell. No way could his nose still be clogged up like this for this long. Naraku must have done something with his nose. 'Damn it I'll kill you Naraku no nose or nose. Stupid bastard always fucking playing games with my emotions and heart. I'm not one of his dummies,' thought Inuyasha. He whole body quiver with rage now he hated Naraku, he hated this stupid forest of Naraku's, and he hated the fact that he couldn't smell anything or anyone around him! Yet it was a spell the whole damn set up was a spell. It was all just part of Naraku's demon magic. This was going to be another long and crazy night. " Inuyasha answer me what is wrong!? Why is your sense of smell back yet," ask Kagome in a more demanding voice than before. Being in a dark creepy forest with dozens of rats were her thing and it seemed Inuyasha wasn't even fighting or trying to get rid of the things wasn't making her feel any better. She wasn't like Sango who had a cast iron stomach for this kind of stuff. She hated rats, she didn't like being in dark places, and Inuyasha was getting annoying with all his mumbling and laziness.
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&**&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
'Should I tell her? If I tell her thing she know I can't help them with these damn rats things nor get them outta this place. Naraku could be right behind us and I'll never know. Sure, I can hint a strong evil aurora here and there but that's it,' Inuyasha thought. He was at a great disadvantage, which he couldn't just let go or fake it. He really couldn't smell anything and it meant trouble. Speaking of trouble Kagome had lost all patience with him, "Inuyasha you better answer me or these rodent will be all over your face!" He knew what it meant would she actually do it? Would Kagome let a bunch of who know what they have rodent crawl all over his face biting him and everything. They were mostly attracted to him anyway with his fire rat kimono on. They would be on him in no time giving him who know what and he would nearly powerless to stop them.
"ALRIGTH I CAN'T SMELL A THING! DAMN IT !YOU ALL ON YOUR OWN," Inuyasha hadn't really wanted to scream it out quite like that but everything was bugging him. He had hoped for a simple fight with Naraku. All he wanted was to go to the castle and kill that stupid demon. He didn't plan on getting lost in a stupid, dark, and evil forest filled with rodents and Naraku puppets.
The group was in shock. "What do you mean you can't smell a thing," The group scream back at the hanyou that lost his smell. "I mean I can't smell anything I can't even smell who is who," Inuyasha stated flatly. "Naraku didn't something with my nose in that last fight the real Naraku he's isn't in his castle after all. he put a curse on my nose and I can't smell anymore. My sense of smell should have been back hours ago or however long when been fighting these stupid rodents," he quickly added for fear of dozen question asking how, when and why his nose couldn't smell anything. He was sounding normal but he was still talking so fast since he couldn't breath out of it still. Shippo almost wanted to laugh at the poor hanyou's state yet he didn't want Inuyasha taking his frustration out on him. "Hmm, then it is best we get out of the darkness. Who knows who or what can be watching. Without you sense of smell working for you Inuyasha then you can't tell what's coming right," asked Miroku who knew the answer to that questions as well as anyone.
"Nah Miroku I talking this fast and breathing hard case I'm taking a new hobby. Idiot I just told you I can't breath or smell out of my nose it curse like your hand got it," answer a breathless Inuyasha. (A/N: Yes, there are still, fighting the rodent in between all of this with fox fire to arrows. No Shippo or Kirara's fire attacks won't make a enough light to light of the forest. Only send small one second flashes. Like a flash on a camera only a lot quicker and brighter. Same with the Tessiaga it's glowing but not enough to have any really effects going. Just some FAQ's for you.) "If there was some why to set fire to this place." Sango said before being cut of by Miroku who stated the clear fact, "If we set fire to this place we would all die there still a hint of miasma in the air plus rodents I have found are the flammable type. I feel a certain unstableness in this place like time and space have been alter." This was a hard hit for home to Kagome, "Time and space altered Naraku can control time and space now?' she thought to herself. Shippo really wanted to say what he thought a while back Naraku was a sick blanky blanky. Did that mean the forest could also change the weather? Shippo fear thunder storms even before the thunder brother attack his tribe and left him homeless. The little fox demon jumped back in Kagome's shirt shaking. "No I can't be brave anymore. I can't sorry Kagome. I'm just too scared now," The little demon cried out.
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&
"Feh pathetic little runt," Inuyasha mumbled but loud enough for them all to hear. Shippo knew he could take him on now. Shippo jeered out, "Look who talking? At least I can smell things. Like Kagome. Speaking of smell, Inuyasha when the last time you bathe?"
"WHAT! Why you little piece of crap don't make me look for you," yelled Inuyasha taking another harsh insult. "Ha that if you can smell me dog- guy," Shippo counter he wasn't scared of Inuyasha. Inuyasha thought of a way to find out where Shippo was since everyone had change spots again as they were still battling the annoying rodents. "Yeah keep talking Shippo. I still have my claws and fangs ya know," Inuyasha growled. Shippo was clever but not that clever. "It doesn't matter how much I talk you won't.Ow. Kagome help he grabbed my tail, cried the smaller demon. Inuyasha was smirked evilly nothing Kagome could do he was far away using Shippo like a stick against the rats. "SIT boy! Inuyasha crashed to the ground taking Shippo with him and also killing a few rodents. (A/N: Hmm a cool attack really most effective against the rodents. () Shippo never felt so flat it's no wonder why Kagome put him on a Ramen diet the guy was getting fat. The ward wore off faster than usually Inuyasha jumped up seizing Sango by the collar than Kagome. "Why you do that you hear him talking mess," roar Inuyasha. "Um, I am not the one who did this, Kagome over there. I really do hope you get you sense of smell back and soon," stated Sango.
"Yes for without Inuyasha sense of smell their no telling what." Miroku got cut of by the sudden smack against his head. "Feh what am I to you people you smelling nose dog. What about your senses huh? What's wrong with you people nose. This is a good chance for you to learn to use your own senses," Inuyasha said huffing down the monk neck. "Inuyasha stop it! Listen the rats are retreating. Are you sure all your other senses are working," said Kagome. (A/n: Not like they were fighting them anymore, anyway. With all the arguing they were doing, I would have left too.) "Hey what's that light. It's so bright," ask Shippo still trying to puff himself up. "It looks like we have fought our way out of the darkness after all, said Miroku.
"You were right young monk, I do control time and space of this entire area. I can make it as dark or as light as I want. I always chosen darkness before light, but since I was bored out of my mind with that last fight I might make an exception, said the dark evil voice of Naraku. From what Inuyasha's ears were telling him he was chose. Too close for confront. "Inuyasha why are you so stupid have you always relied on your nose and feeling for everything. How worthless can you get? Your not worthy of fighting me at all. I'm glad I placed that curse on you. For you are you little weakling comrade will never make it out of here alive and you'll never make to my castle," Naraku said with one of his dark evil laughs. It sent shivers down all their spines it was as if he was right in front of him but they couldn't see him. Then came they brightness and it wasn't like daylight were you could see. It was pure bright hot light that burned their eyes. "Damn it now he trying to blind me," Inuyasha cried as he closed his eyes. 'Damn it like he has a huge flashlight shinning it in our eyes,' Kagome thought. After being in the darkness for so long, this really hurt. Naraku laugh as the seven blind mice wondered around bumping into to each other not knowing what to do or where to go. "Did you like the darkness better? Perhaps my next army of demons can help you out," Naraku jeered.
