Chapter five.
Kouga fought to get himself under control and tried to make something out of what was happening to him. He knew the things she could do and he recognized this as being any one of two things. It was either a real tornado (she could create and control tornadoes, along with other weather phenomena) or it was an illusion. She was so good at both that he had no way of knowing what was going on. He hoped that it was just an illusion and that he would awake to find himself in the same spot and Naraku very much amused.
Frustrated he attempted to right himself again. Once he even tried going into his own tornado to see what that would do. Not a good idea. He was flung all about that he almost threw up. Finally he gave up, and allowed the tornado to toss him whichever way it pleased. That's when he was released.
Kagome was sitting worriedly beside him. They were in a dark place with only a torch lit in the corner to light the room. Shippo was there and so was Miroku with Kirara asleep in his lap. Sango and Inuyasha were still laid out on the floor. They were twitching. He closed his eyes. So it was all an illusion.
Shippo went to him and smiled. "I'm glad you gave up, Kouga, Kagome and Miroku thinks it was just another ploy to get us to tire ourselves out." He pointed at Sango and Inuyasha. "I can't believe that Sango is still hanging on. I expected Inuyasha to be stubborn of course but I had no idea it would take this long."
Kouga felt extremely tired. He let out a low groan. 'Rye had always done her job well.' He crawled over to where Inuyasha lay. Gently he put his fingertips on the hanyou's temples and began to move his fingers in a circular motion going counterclockwise. "Kagome, do this to Sango until she wakes up. It works pretty quick."
As if on cue, Inuyasha promptly threw Kouga savagely away from himself. "What the hell were you doing?"
Shippo ran up to Inuyasha. "You're up, you're up, you're up!"
"Huh?" Inuyasha frowned and looked around. "Well what happened? There was a tornado and then I had to fight...Naraku.."
Miroku clapped. "Nice work Inuyasha. Too bad you couldn't have realized that an hour ago like I did, because now you are probable very fatigued."
"Wow." Inuyasha muttered as he sat down. "I am tired."
Kagome, who was still massaging Sango's temples yelled for Kouga. "Help me, she isn't waking up! Hey, where is he?"
Miroku glanced around and saw his dark form lying unmoving on the ground a few feet away. Removing Kirara he ran to him. "Kouga! Are you alright?!" Kouga grumbled and rolled over. "You're asleep?!"
Kouga, irritated, turned to face Miroku. "Damn straight I'm asleep, I have been drained of my energy and now I need it back and sleep is the best way to replenish energy right? So there. Leave me alone."
"But Kagome needs you."
Growling, Kouga made his sluggish progress over to Kagome and Sango. He watched as Kagome massaged. Yawning greatly he pushed Kagome's hands away and took over. He stopped immediately. "You did fine, Kagome, she's free of the illusion, she's just too tired to open her eyes, stir, or speak. I think she is trying not to sleep. Why don't you explain it to her so she can rest."
He crawled a few feet away and crawled in a circle three times before curling into a ball and sleeping. Kagome cooed. "How cute! Inuyasha, you should do that! It's adorable. Normal doggies do that too, you know."
Inuyasha "feh"ed in his sleep.
Time lapse
During their stay in the dungeon everyone took at least a little nap. Although the three slow wakers were awake only long enough to shift positions. Kirara and Shippo were the only ones awake when Naraku came in.
Naraku smiled viciously. As both Kirara and Shippo transformed. Kirara growled menacingly and Shippo floated a little above the ground as a big crazy looking ball. Naraku laughed. Now Kirara, we would not want to have a repeat of last time. As I recall you were badly hurt." During this Shippo wobbled over to Naraku to bump into his head. Naraku swatted at Shippo and he deflated while flying across the room. Miroku woke up. Seeing Naraku, he unleashed his wind tunnel. However, Naraku had up a shield and the wind almost sucked in a sleeping Inuyasha before Miroku had time to close it.
"Sorry to disappoint." Naraku said. "That would have worked, my wind tunnels can suck up everything. However I am not here, this is simply an illusion again, thanks to my charming assistant. Now the door will open and you will be affronted with some unusually strong youkai. I hope this will be the last time I see you. Good bye." His image faded. Miroku, Kirara, and Shippo were the only ones that heard the door open.
A/N: Okay I meant to change pov a chapter ago, but I forgot. Gomen. Please tell me how I'm doing. I assure you that eventually I will get to Sesshoumaru and the whole actual plot. No, fighting Naraku is not the main problem. But we'll get there. Um, Am I spelling anything wrong, cause I would love to know. Please, oh please, review! Thanks. ~Averdeline.
