Author's Note: Yes, this is the final chapter of The Missing Yasha, aren't we all so sad. I just wanted to finish it so it would stop nagging my brain every time I saw it sitting unfinished in My Documents.
Chapter 3: But Why Is the Rum Gone?
We had finally stopped to running, because one, apparently we weren't being pursued, and two, I was about to drop over dead. However, we were completely lost. And what's worse, there was someone coming down the hall at a fast pace.
"Ok, we are NOT running anymore. Somehow, I think that a pirate, a goddess, and a…a guy with a big sword can hold off whoever it is. I braced myself as the figure came barreling around the corner. I dropped my guard with a relieved smile, it was only Inuyasha. The guys looked slightly surprised, and pointed their weapons away, but Inuyasha didn't stop, he just went barreling right into Cloud, and started scratching and biting him.
"Inuyasha! You stop that right now!" I shouted. He just looked at me blankly, and I realized that he wasn't in his right mind. He leapt at me, but I was ready, and zapped him, effectively encasing him in a block of ice. "Well, now we've found him, we just need to find the exit."
"Maybe Inuyasha knows a way. You could use the pendant and see."
"I don't think it counts, he's not technically asleep, just frozen. Good idea, though," I said, stroking my silver dragon pendant. It was very special, as it had a DreamStone concealed within it, allowing me access to a person's thoughts…but only if they're asleep (unconscious counts too, heeheehee). "However, there is one way to get back to the forest."
"What?"
"I can teleport you baka. Did you forget?" I rapped Jack's head with my knuckles, "Now hold Inuyasha up so I can include him in the spell."
In a few moments we were out of the white hall and back in the forest clearing where I always went. Fortunately, I had managed to teleport Inuyasha; I had wondered about the effect that the added weight of the ice would have on my spell. I told Jack and Cloud to guard him while I went and got some rope from my house. But when I got back, they were arguing and thoroughly not noticing the fact that Inuyasha was breaking out of the ice. I clutched my head and canceled the ice spell, causing Inuyasha to fall over and allowing me enough time to tie him to a tree. Then I shouted out the two guys about being too dense to notice anything and not following instructions.
"And you!" I said, turning to Inuyasha, "Are the biggest idiot I have ever seen! You attacked us! You deserve to be tied to a tree and relive bad memories about Kikyo! Where were you, eh?"
Inuyasha continued to snarl and attempt to break out of the ropes. I wondered what the heck was wrong with him. Hadn't Brownie Child talked about this sort of thing happening during the series? I wished I could remember. Jack seemed to be thinking along these lines too, because he started talking.
"Didn't Dog Boy here get his soul sucked out once? And that girl had to bring him back by…"
"NO WAY! I AM SO NOT KISSING HIM! NEVER NEVER NEVER!"
"Well, got any other ideas?"
"We could try getting this black thing off his neck," Cloud said nonchalantly.
"What, the osuwari necklace? That doesn't come off, genius."
"No, this other black thing."
"Other black thing?" I looked at Inuyasha's neck and saw the evil squirrel mind control collar, "Hey, that wasn't there before…HAH! SEE, I DON'T HAVE TO KISS HIM! Cloud, cut it off!"
"His head?" Cloud said hopefully.
"NO YOU IDIOT!!! THE COLLAR!!!"
"Geeze, can't you take a joke?" Cloud lifted his sword, "Are you sure I can't cut off his head?"
"NO!!! HURRY UP AND GET THE BLOODY COLLAR OFF OR I'LL TIE YOU TO A TREE TOO!!!"
"Drat," Cloud said as he easily severed the collar with his giant sword. Inuyasha's eyes returned to their normal color, and he looked around confusedly.
"Where'd those damn squirrels go? Why am I tied to a tree? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!?"
"We rescued you. What squirrels?"
"These evil genius squirrels were trying to take over the world and they were studying me and they put a mind-control collar on me and then I woke up tied to a tree."
"You did steal my rum, didn't you!?!"
"I already told you; I didn't touch your bloody rum!"
I dragged Jack away from Inuyasha and whomped him over the head, "If I hear the word 'rum' from you again you will die. Now you will all wait here and not kill each other. I will be back shortly," I teleported away.
***
I had teleported back to the squirrel headquarters, but this time to a different section. Namely, the main power source: a hunk of glowing orange rock. It was but the work of a moment to freeze the 5 squirrel guards and waltz right over to the Main Computer, which looked about as complicated as some of my Geometry formulas (in other words, really, really hard).
"I wonder if this works on the same basic principle as my laptop…" I said. Only one way to find out, I reasoned. So I did what normally works with most electronics; I hit it repeatedly until a box popped up on the screen, "Enter password? I don't have that sort of patience!" so I pulled the plug out. Instantly, everything around me went pitch black, and I zoomed through the separating door and grabbed the formerly glowing rock. Then I teleported back to where the guys were, wondering what took those adventure guys so long to do the same thing I had just done in about a minute.
"Okay, squirrel problem solved! Let's go now."
"Untie me first!"
"Only when you tell me where my rum is!"
I whomped Jack again and untied Inuyasha. Before he could kill Jack, I teleported all of us back to my house. Grounding all three of the guys to the closet, I leaned under my bed and pulled out a duffle bag. Inside it were quite a few bottles of rum. Cackling evilly, I wondered how long it would take Jack to find them if I hid them in a tall tree this time.
The End
