A/N: I know this say's special but it connects with the story…as you can see. Myukai is somethin' I made up but her minion's are going to be Greek gods. Oops. Anyway, this doesn't have anythin' t'do wit Naraku although they mention him he's not in this special. This special is more like a movie, like Castle Beyond the Looking Glass (I love it! I bought it off EBay!) then the actual stories and it'll be about three to five chapters long. Kay? When it's finished it'll settle down and go to more tranquility then violence!! Bwahahaha! Jk! Anyway, on wit da story, peace!
Special: The Beginning of an Endless Nightmare
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran through the forest.
"We where here." Miroku said as he pointed to the hole Kagome had pulled herself out of. There was blood all over it.
Inuyasha jumped down and landed. "They dragged her." He followed the blood stains from her wounds that didn't quite heal. Her bow and quiver lay in a heap on the way as the followed the trail. They were now in a graveyard….in the middle of the forest (I can't stay serious!!!). Like…who puts a graveyard where no one can see it? Dummies…ANYWAY!
The two men looked around. "Where could she be?" Inuyasha muttered.
*--*--*
"Houshi-sama!" Sango cried as she ran through the forest at breakneck speed. She stopped and almost crashed into a tree. "Houshi-sama….where could you be?" she whispered.
The forest was dark. Looming. Sinister. She felt someone watching but knew there wasn't anyone there. She stopped her twisting head to snap it in the direct of….a BUNNY!
She screamed as she hopped toward her.
"St-stay away." She walked backward. "R...rabid bunnies…their coming!" she cried as she ran.
*--*--*
"Hm….What do we do with this girl?" Myukai muttered to herself as she watched Sango run from the hoard of invisible bunnies through the bowl of water. "Hmm….let's see. Rabid bunnies let's make your dream's come true my dear."
She kissed her finger and dipped it into the water. The water turned black at her touch and swirled. It showed a bunny with red eye's fangs and a foaming mouth (you probably don't know how much fun I'm having with this. I know it was supposed to be dark but…Sango has to have a fear of…something other then her brother dying!)
She lifted the bowl up; the water seemed to have frozen around her finger. She threw it. It broke against the wall and out floated the rabid bunny.
She motioned it toward her, a pink bubble formed around it and it floated obediently toward her. The faint pink glow showed on her face as she smiled at the rabid bunny sweetly. "Deception…my favorite game." She said as she flung the bunny in a blind direction, the bubble popped and the bunny was gone.
*--*--*
Kagome sat rocking back and forth. "This is just a stupid nightmare. It'll be over before you know it…not…This is so reality! Gotta get out of here!" she jumped up and punched the ceiling above. It crumbled but nothing major. "Darn it…" she looked at her arm. It was uncovered and…yeah…dragon like (somehow I always find the 'yeah' in a supposed to be depressing story.) tattoo thing. "Nice time to sleep, useless.
It roared out and bit onto her finger.
"Owchie! Okay! Sorry." She kissed her finger and looked around. The dragon rubbed against her side and sniffed at basically all her scrapes. "Dead people are here….this is depressing. I hope I don't die…never mind. I can't die unless…" she stopped. There was the creaking of a door being opened.
She stopped dead still and held her breath. The dragon was painfully wrapped around her arm and looking alert.
The door that had opened slammed and there were light footstep's coming closer.
Kagome looked around frantically. All she saw was the bone of an arm and a shovel….wait…a shovel! Know 'wm out!
She all but dove at it and banged her head against one of the slabs where a dead person lay.
She held the shovel with shaking hands. I can't protect myself without my bow but I could smack the hell outta this…thing, she swallowed.
The footsteps came closer and there was the sound of something being dragged.
She backed up against the dirt wall and shook in fear. Her dragon shook as well, useless.
The footstep's came to an abrupt stop. The door covering one of the channel's of tunnel's turned and something was thrown in….a body….slimy and old and rotten, and dead, and all that nice stuff when a body is undug and dragged halfway across the world…well….wherever it came from.
The thing that was dragging it stepped a foot up and walked smack into the wall next to the door frame.
Kagome raised an eyebrow. Who the hell, she thought, can't walk straight other then me?
"Damn…my nose is broken." The voice grunted. "Myukai's gunna kill me for breaking this nose."
It was a man's voice. Very young and sounded not to bright.
She stepped to the side a little, shifting her weight off her bleeding ankles.
"This is the worst job I've ever done. Stupid Myukai." He muttered as he threw the body onto an empty slab and turned to leave, only to trip over Kagome's foot.
She winced and jumped onto a slab. The little light they had showed that he was a young man or more like half man…. "What the hell are you?!" she screamed as she pressed herself against the wall.
"How dare you." He growled as she clambered up to the slab she was on.
She jumped off.
He jumped off.
She jumped on.
He jumped on.
She jumped off.
He jumped off.
She jumped on…yeah…they did that stuff.
"Stop following me!" she yelled.
"Stop following me!" he yelled.
"Stop following me!"
"Me!"
"Me!"
Kagome clenched the shovel so hard the wooden handle broke splintering her hands.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"I'm Kagome." She said simply.
"The Kagome?! The Shikon no Tama miko?!" he cried.
"Y-Yeah." She stepped back and slipped off the slab. "We're both blubbering idiot's when it comes to walking, aren't we?" she laughed.
He laughed along with her.
"What are you exactly?" she asked when they were done.
"=I'm not half the man I used to be…get it?!" he started cracking up.
Kagome sweat dropped and looked at him as he rolled around, his horse leg's all over.
"No…really…I'm a Centaur." He said.
"Oh…one of thems." She said as she looked somewhere other then the big gap in his teeth.
*--*--*
"Where is she?" Inuyasha muttered.
"Inuyasha! I'll kill you!"
Inuyasha was tackled to the ground. "What the…what the hell are you doing, lovesick weirdo?" Inuyasha yelled as he
squirmed under Ruumomaru.
"We fight!" he yelled.
"Your getting' blood all over me!: he yelled.
"He's asleep." Miokeu said.
*--*--*
Sango stopped running form the bunnies. Pantingly she looked around (Pantingly?). "No…bunnies." She muttered.
"Ow!" she cried as she felt something bite into her leg.
She looked down. "Ah!!! Rabid Bunnies!" she yelled as she shook off the foaming bunny and poised Hiraikotsu above her head, ready to smash.
The bunny grew into the height of a human and growled at her.
"Houshi-sama! Help me!" she cried.
*--*--*
Shippo walked through the forest. "Sango? Kirara?" he whispered.
"Shippo….Shippo-chan…." A voice howled in his ear.
He froze and shook with fear. Slowly turning around he was greeted by a face. He screamed and jumped backward.
"Fa-father?" eh stammered as she saw who it was. "Daddy!" he ran to his father and jumped toward him but was seized by his tail and hung upside-down.
"Shippo….." the voice taunted.
"Daddy….what are you doing?" Shippo asked quietly.
*--*--*
"Ah….the youkai taijiya is dealing with the rabbit….the kitsune is with his father….now…where is Kagome-san?" Myukai said as she looked into the new bowl of water. "Ah….with my Centaur. What are they doing?" she looked closer. "Well…this will have to stop." She dropped a grain of rice into the bowl, chanted something in a weird language and the rice shot out with the water in tow. It made a loose ring around her body and floated there. She pointed it toward the wall. It opened and the rice and water smashed into it, disappearing (I think of the weirdest things…)
She looked back into the bowl which now had water in it yet again and smiled. The rice was doing its job by wrapping around the Centaur and dragging him away.
*--*--*
"I'm alone again…" Kagome muttered. "Now back to work."
She looked down at her dragon who seemed to have fallen asleep against her arm.
She pointed it up to the ceiling and it woke instantly.
"Kiss of the Dark Dragon!" she yelled as it flared up and smacked its whole head into the ceiling. The miasma in its teeth, and mouth, and fangs and such melted the dirt.
Kagome climbed up the tallest slab and reached out, her arm feeling like it was on fire she used her un-dragon arm to pull herself out.
She flopped down against a gravestone and panted.
*--*--*
"Houshi-sama!" Miroku looked around.
"That was Sango." He muttered as he started limping off in the direction of the scream.
"Wait! Help me!" Inuyasha cried.
Miroku was gone.
"Kiss of the Dark Dragon!" he heard.
The ground a few feet away from him burst and out Kagome's dark dragon flew with Kagome's arm in tow.
Her body flopped against a gravestone. She had a bunch of bruises all over her body.
"Kagome." Inuyasha dragged himself over to her. He looked at her face, it too had cut's all over it. "Are you alive?" he asked.
"I…hope I am." She whispered back.
He looked up at her halo. IT was as clean as ever. "Your fine." He smiled then growled at Ruumomaru who was still sleeping on his back.
"Got a…problem there?" Kagome smiled without opening her eyes.
"He just kinda fell asleep." Inuyasha jumped up and the youkai rolled off. "He's not bad." He said thoughtfully.
Inuyasha looked back at Kagome. "Hey, Kagome!" he whispered loudly.
She was asleep wit a smile on her face.
He smiled at her smile and they were all smiling like smiling people do when they smile….wow….
He lightly and gently pulled her onto his back and jumped into the tree's.
*--*--*
"Let's have them come to us…" Myukai said as she watched Inuyasha run through the forest.
"You're not worth our time." Came Kagura's voice from behind her.
Myukai whipped around.
Kagura was in a red and blue kimono and her fan shook angrily next ot her face. There were dead bodies all over the floor. She waved her fan and the bodies rose gliding toward the goddess.
"What are you doing?!" Myukai walked backward away from the advancing men.
"I'm doing something I should've done when I saw your skimpy face and heard that oh so familiar voice." Kagura said as he snapped her fan shut. The bodies burst with blood.
"I know how much you love blood so…how's 'bout your own." The blood seemed to eat away at the goddess's flesh.
"How…how dare you!" Myukai yelled as he swatted away the blood.
"I'm sick and tired of babysitting you!" Kagura yelled. "Ryuushin no Mai!" the bodies were swept into the tornadoes and the blood splattered the walls and everything.
"I'll be seeing you around." Kagura turned and the winds stopped leaving only chunks of bodies once human and blood staining the floor.
Myukai growled baring her fanged teeth. "You will pay." she turned back to the barrier…ed…bowl. "Tastunai…." She looked in. "Naraku's favorite." She looked in. Tastunai was blooding all over, her body in shambles, her face twisted in determination; her arm's twisted every which way. "she will be dead in a minute."
*--*--*
Tastunai dragged her worn out kunoichi body through the field. It was hard to walk without holding onto something. She had left a trail to her body but she didn't care. Something would kill her anyway if not her own body.
Her vision blurred. The grass now seemed to be against her as well and was stabbing the hell out of her legs. She couldn't stand it any longer. Relaxing her body she closed her eyes and her body finally had the rest it needed…again…'cause she'd died already.
*Flashback*
"You wish me to bring back the body of this woman? This kunoichi?" Urusue asked.
"I do." Naraku said as he handed the old mononoke the jar filled with the remains of the deceased kunoichi.
"What are you doing?! Stop!" Kikyo yelled from behind him. She was being held captive by two youkai who were biting mercilessly into her arms. She ignored them. "You mustn't bring her back!" she cried.
"Be quite. I will ring back the woman I need." He said.
"This shall be done." Ususue said as she walked back into her cave.
About two hours later…
"This is odd…." Urusue said as she walked out.
"What?"
"Her soul has been….held captive." She glared at Kikyo. "Hand it over, miko." she said as she walked over to the struggling miko.
"Never!" Kikyo spat out as she squirmed some more.
"Don't you ever stop moving?" the mononoke slapped her hard and pried the miko's hands apart. A blue/white orb floated out and landed in Urusue's hands. "Come out now, dead!" she called.
Out…slowly walked the kunoichi. She as clad in a black ninja uniform without the usual white sarashi type thing around her feet, she was bare foot just to tell you.
"Ah…you look just fine in the attire of a ninja. I could not find the kunoichi's so I could not give you the proper uniform." She walked over to the emotionless brown-haired girl. Her hair blew in the wind.
The soul escaped Urusue's grasp and flew into the kunoichi's body making her jerk backward.
"She's back! The great kunoichi Tastunai! She's back!" Naraku cried happily.
*End Flashback*

"Where is this?" Inuyasha muttered to himself.
"It's very uncomfortable." Kagome said in a weak voice.
"Yeah. It's eerie." He said as he looked around. It was a dark field filled with black grass and a white sky. The village around them was black and white as well. The only color there was the fire covering the shrine.
"This is…my village." Inuyasha said.
"Your village?" Kagome asked. She looked at his face. It was covered with horror. "Why….is it all black and white! It's hurting my eye's!" she cried.
He smiled. She could always make him smile.
"Let's go check it out." She said.
"Okay."
*--*--*--*--*
Was that good? I don't know…
Anyway….
