HI ALL! It just me! Again. Here's Chapter #10. Enjoy!

When we were all awake and ready to go, Yusuke turned to me and asked "So where is the portal to the next level?" I just looked at him before answering. "It's in a well. And no, I don't know where the well is! We just have to find it." I turned around and looked at the column at the center of this hell and frowned. 'Why did I have to kill him? Was he really a threat?' I sighed and turned back to the others. Kurama looked at me, worried. I gave him a half smile. When he woke up earlier, he had blushed when he noticed that he was holding on to my hand. He looked HOT when he blushed. I stifled a giggle.
Yusuke and Hiei started to argue on where to search. 'This could take a while' I thought as I opened my backpack. A small sparkly object fell out. It was the piece of jewelry that I had picked up when we first landed here in the underworld. Except that when I first picked it up it wasn't glowing. Now it was. The onyx center was glowing a steady purple. I wondered why it was doing that. I closed up my pack and examined the glow closer. When I turned west, it faded, if I turned east, it glowed brighter. 'Why was it glowing? It wasn't doing that when I found it! Maybe it's a locator. If it was, then it would be dimmer the closer it was to a portal. Demons hate light. It made sense. Kind of. (A/N: I know that doesn't really make any sense, and they have to have a way of locating the portals don't they? And this is the easiest way I can do that. I am the creator! I can do that! HA!!!)
Yusuke and Hiei were still arguing on where to search first, when I heard a moan come from a short distance away. I turned to look, and there was a lost soul dragging it's way towards us. And it wasn't alone. There was at least another dozen behind it. 'How did they get up here? I thought they weren't that coordinated!' I ran up to Yusuke and told him to try following the gem. "I know this sounds crazy, but I think it'll work. Just go the way that makes it dimmer." At his confused look I added, "Demons of the underworld don't like light. So they will go away from the light. And when I found this it was practically on top of the first portal!" He looked at me and nodded. Hiei muttered "Just like a woman to pick up strange jewelry." I glared at him and he shut up and looked away. "So what way do we go?" he asked. "West" Yusuke said. We jumped to the next building. I looked back and the top of the building that we were on was filled with lost souls now. I shuddered. That had been too close.
We followed the slowly dying light for an hour before we spotted the well. It was a good 200 feet below us, and to top it off, there were lost souls surrounding it, as well as another lesser Demon. Not a good day. I was thinking about making a plan of attack like I did with Kurama, but it went down the drain when Hiei and Yusuke jumped down into the fray. I looked over at Kurama who only shrugged and jumped down after the both of them. This was going to be a long day! I grabbed my stilettos back out. I thought to use my powers a priestess, but it might attract more attention than we could handle right now. It would be best if I used them only in an emergency. I jumped down into the chaos below me.
The lesser Demon was my first target. It would know how to fight and it had a lot more power. Kurama, it seemed had the same idea. Yusuke and Hiei seemed to enjoy beating the brains out of the lost ones. 'Men' I thought. 'Always like doing the things that require no brain power.'
It took almost no time to kill the lesser demon. After all, I HAD killed one yesterday all by myself. Then, as Kurama turned to help Hiei and Yusuke, I started uncovering the well. Down at the bottom there was a slight swirling. It had to be the portal. I grinned. 'Three Cheers to the gem hoarding girl!' I turned. Most of the lost ones had been destroyed, and the few remaining ones were quickly cut down. Yusuke, Hiei, And Kurama joined me at the well after tidying up the mess. "I suppose this is it." Kurama said softly. Hiei just grunted. And Yusuke did the strangest thing I had ever seen. "Last one in is a rotten egg!" He had shouted before jumping into the portal. He vanished with an audible "Plop!" The three of us that were left just looked at each other in shock and amusement. I jumped in next, Followed by Hiei. Kurama was the rotten egg.
The next level, the fifth one we've landed in looked like a barren wasteland. There were geysers, and desert dunes. Parts of the ground were dry and cracked. A faux wind blew sand into my nose and ears. I didn't like this place. I didn't like any of the other places, but this one really made me not like it by just existing! We all looked at Yusuke who was carrying the gem now. He had it out already in his hand and was slowly spinning around. "That way!" (A/N: They don't have a compass so they don't know what way is North and none of them has any sense of directions!) And we all marched "That way!" It wasn't long before we encountered a challenge form this level.
Eight demonic dogs came racing up to us. They looked almost like Zombie dogs. There were bones sticking out, ribs were showing, some had eyeballs hanging out of their eye sockets. They glistened with a slime like substance. The whole effect was gross. It made my stomach do a flip-flop. Partly because I was part dog demon I guess. And to top it off, they smelled like a cross between a pissed off skunk and diapers left out in the sun for too long! It was nauseating to say the least! And I wasn't the only one who thought they smelled. All three guys were holding their noses. For a minute, nothing moved. Not us, not them. Then, all hell broke loose.
All the Demon Dogs leapt for us. Two to each person. Hiei, being a speed demon that he is, (A/N: I know he's actually a fire and ice demon, but he's just so fast that I couldn't resist! No flames from anyone on this statement!) He was the only one who didn't get buried in slime dogs. 'Ewww..I'm going to need a bath after this! Blood stains are one thing, but THIS is another!' I thought in disgust as I felt the tow Demon dogs leap on top of me. They pinned me to the ground so fast that I couldn't even grab a stiletto. I had no physical weapons that I could reach to use on them. 'I didn't want to use my powers, but if I don't do something right now, I'm dog food. Eww.NO way!' I pulled on the power that I use as priestess and shoved it into the demon dogs. They exploded into blood and guts and some other material that is just way too gross to mention. And the smell doubled. I sat up in the mess that I had made to see if any one else needed help. Hiei was still fighting his two, but every time he sliced into the body, it would heal right back up. Kurama had his Rose Whip out and was holding his two at bay. Yusuke was just punching the hell out of his two. He, of all seemed to be doing all right for now.
I helped Hiei first. Not because I wanted to, but because he was loosing his battle and I needed his help to get Dad and Uncle Fluffy out. I gathered up more power and shoved it into the Demon Dogs just like I had to the ones that attacked me. They exploded too. Right on Hiei. He was totally covered with the left over body parts now. Kurama was next because Yusuke appeared to be having fun. (A/N: Never part a guy from his fun.It could be dangerous to your health!) This time The Demon dogs exploded away from their target. Kurama was barely splattered much to his delight, and to Hiei's anger. As I was going to help Yusuke, he shouted "SHOT GUN!" The two Demon Dogs disintegrated. 'I guess I didn't have to help him at all.' I thought.
"Now which way?" Hiei asked. Yusuke pulled the gem out of his pocket. He turned in a circle again and just walked in the direction we needed to go. In the distance, we all could hear Howling. There were more of those things out there. We would have to take care and Find the portal quick. I didn't know how long we could last under these conditions. 'Damn, it's hot down here!' I mused while I followed Yusuke who had a hold on my gem.

And here ends the chapter. R&R. Tell me what you think! Good? Bad? I want at least two reviews. I would prefer three.but I'm not greedy. When I get two, I'll start the next chapt! And there will be more Inu-Yasha characters. The group just isn't far enough in the underworld. And tell me I f I should Have Kikyo be a general or something in a lower level! Buh- Bye for now!
