Chapter 2
The Tunnel At The End Of The Universe

" Wh-what? How'd I get here?" Inu Yasha stumbled across a small cliff.
" You are trapped inside the Mirror of Souls," A faded figure said.
" Who the heck are you?"
" I am a soul that has lived in here far too long.it is time for you to take my place.or else I shall fade and never come back."
" Argh!" Inu Yasha jumped as the soul gave him a look of blankness while its arm extended, showing its pale and transparent fingers, and reached for him.
" What's wrong, Inu-yasha? Scared of the ghastly souls all around you?"
" What do you mean, 'souls'?" he stared around as more figures came out.
" I mean, there are more than one of us trapped inside Kanna's mirror.how we waited for this chance to escape this area into our freedom."
" Feh." Inu Yasha swung the Tetsusaiga at them. " Wind Scar, unleash your power!" The Tetsusaiga wiped the bits of white vapor-like souls apart. " And don't think about it again!"
" Oh why not?" the souls rose up and formed an arrow of blinding light.
" W-what? You're back! This is just like the effect of miasma!" Inu Yasha looked at the souls.
He knew he was in trouble. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
Miroku woke up and rubbed his eyes. " Will you bear my child?" He asked Sango without thinking.
Sango looked at him straight in the eyes and slapped him hard. " Don't ask that ever again, you senile idiot!"
Kagome looked around. " Hey, where's Inu-Yasha?"
" Good question, lady Ka-gome-Chan. Where is that pervert?" Miroku said.
" You're the pervert, Miroku, you idiot!" Sango slaps Miroku again.
" Stop wasting our time! We have to find Inu-Yasha!" Kagome looked around, worried. " I hope he's not with Kikyo again."
" Erm, Lady Kagome, I don't think he is." Sango looked around but failed to find Inu Yasha.
" We've got to search for him! What if he's in danger?" Or, Kagome thought, what if he's with Kikyo?
Kagome shuddered involuntarily. " What.what if he's with Kikyo? Doesn't he care what I think? Doesn't he know how much it hurts me.to see him with Kikyo?"
" Yeah, really, Inu-Yasha's a meanie. Doesn't he care what Kagome thinks?" Shippo jumped up. " Sorry, but I couldn't help listening."
" I doubt something that bad is happening to him.after all, he has his claws and the Tetsusaiga." Miroku said quietly.
" But what if he's with Kikyo?" Kagome sobbed. " That's it! I'm not sensing Shikon shards anymore! I quit, Miroku! Sango! Kilala! Shippo! All of you! I can't stand it, staying with a guy who hates me and only cares for Kikyo! Who am I, the dirty rag?"
" Kagome, don't go! No! Kagome!" Sango ran but couldn't catch up. Miroku followed and got to Kagome, but she shot an arrow at Miroku's chest and he was knocked down.
" No, Kagome!!! Noooooo!" Sango ran after her when she tripped on Miroku. " Miroku what the heck-huh? Miroku? D-don't tell me Kagome shot you in there! I better get you to the closest village."
Miroku rolled. He heard the slightest bit of Sango's voice, calling through. " Thank you, beautiful lady, for your hospitality.please do bear my child.where am I?"
" I TOLD YOU TO STOP CALLING ME THAT YOU PERVERTED MONK! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE SO PERVERTED IN MY LIFE!" Sango slapped him again.
" Ouch.oh it's you, Lady Sango."
" Yeah, and that's the second time you told me to bear your child today."

~ At a village~
" No..stop.now!" A man yelled out.
" Why?" Naraku stared at the man. " Why should I when I can gather the Shikon Shards? Tell me, where are the shards of the Holy Shikon Jewel?"
" N-never!" The man yelped as Naraku gripped his arm and clawed his body, sinking the powerful miasma into the man.
" So, fool, you refuse to tell me. It's time you learn a lesson you'll find valuable," Naraku said, then laughed. " The next fifteen seconds you breath!"
" W-what do you mean?" The man yelled in fright.
" I mean this!" Naraku held his arms up and released the powerful miasma he held. The air was misty, smoky, and nobody could see. When it was cleared, the area was deserted. The Shikon shard that was hidden in a barrier by the magic of the high priest was gone, and the barrier broken.
The last thing ever heard by a person of the village was ' The Shikon no Tama is finally completed.'
