Sleeping Princess

By Golden Mooncat

Chapter Six: Dragon

"Prince Inuyasha? Prince Inuyasha? Prince Inuyasha!" screamed a voice, and

Inuyasha jumped when he realized that it was coming from his sword.

"Why is my sword talking to me???" Inuyasha asked himself as he picked up the

sword and examined it, still surprised that he could move. "Wait, where did

I get the sword? That is if you can call this peice of junk a sword!" he

exclaimed as he looked at how rusted the sword was. "This thing couldn't even

cut paper!"

"Aye, but it can. Ye just have to be protecting a human. Or in this case,

fighting for the human's life." the sword replied and Inuyasha swore that he

knew the voice. "Ah, but ye do know me. I am Miko Kaede, the Miko that had

taken the Princess for her protection." the sword said.

"How can a Miko turn into a sword?" he asked in disbeliefe.

"Oh but I can't. Ye see, it took all my strentgh to put the kingdom into an eternal

sleep until the Princess awakes. Then I knew I would have to direct ye on how to

get out of Kikyo's dungeons." Kaede's soul said through the sword.

"What?! What do you mean until the Princess awakes?!" Inuyasha screamed in anger.

"Exactly what I said. I failed in protecting the Princess from Kikyo's magic.

So now she is in a deep sleep until the true love's first kiss shall awaken her."

"Alright...When I get out of here I'm going to find your body and kick it to hell

and back. But first, how do I get out of here?"

"First ye must break down the door. Use ye claws if ye must." the sword instructed

and Inuyasha did just that.

Standing up Inuyasha walked over to the door after shoving the sword into a sheath

that had appeared on his hip when he had awaken. Flexing his fingers a bit he

grinned and slid them down the door, amazed when it didn't fall apart.

"Oh did I forget to mention, ye might have to use ye full strength?" came a nervous

voice from the sword.

"Yea you did!" Inuyasha said through clenched teeth as he summoned up enough strength

to rip the door apart.

After many tries Inuyasha finally broke the door down and looked around the hallway.

Looking down at his sword he pulled it out and stared at it, willing it to do something,

anything helpfull. Kaede's soul realized this and she told him to point her in the

direction he thought he should go, if the sword glowed than he was to go that way, if

not then he was to go another way.

Inuyasha pointed Tetsusaiga to the left and when the sword didn't glow he tried the

right. Tetsusaiga glowed a brilliant white color and Inuyasha nodded his head going

to the right. Soon he came to another fork and had to go left. After going through

so many forks in the halls Inuyasha wondered why he didn't run into any minions trying

to stop him.

"Hey Tetsusaiga?" he asked after running for an hour and not coming across anyone trying

to stop him.

"What Prince Inuyasha?" the sword asked him.

"Why haven't I had to fight anything yet? I mean wouldn't Kikyo know that I'm escaping?"

"Yes she would. I believe that she is waiting for ye. Perhaps she plans to fight ye on

her own, with no minions."

"Oh goody. I get to fight a Miko. For once I wish I was human." he muttered as a growl

rumbled the whole palace. "What was that?" he asked the sword.

"I think that Kikyo has found a way to transform. I have no clue as to what."

"Oh goody. Well lets go!" he said and sped up faster and came to an exit out of the

palace and froze in his spot.

In front of him stood a dragon. A dragon that had the same scent as Kikyo, meaning

she had transformed into a dragon. A large dragon that stood about five stories tall

and had black scales. Her eyes were dark ominus pits, might as well been black too.

Her fangs were as big as Inuyasha himself and he would hate to see the damage they

could do.

"Well, Prince Inuyasha. What took you?" Dragon Kikyo asked, her voice sounding like

nothing but a hiss.

Thats it for this chapter. And for those of you who keep bugging, I get writers block
