Chapter 17
Wow! I got THREE reviews! That two more than I normally get! I'm so happy! Sorry these are taking longer than normally. But as I said earlier, we're moving and that means that I don't have much time now a days. Plus I have two jobs and a slight social life. I update ASAP!
Thanks to:
Cheyo-Vera: Here's the new chapter! Don't start the torture yet!
Simply Hopless: Thanks for the review! ^.^8 Kuwabara got spit back out of the underworld back around chapter4...I may have him come back as a sacrifice thought! ::Smiles evilly at the thought::
ElveNDestiNy: Thanks! ::Smiles happily::
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
We were wandering through the corridors for a few hours when Grandpa lost it. He, mom, Yusuke and Hiei all started bashing walls. Amazingly enough, they were as thin as paper and easily destroyed. I'm pretty sure that everyone was a bit abashed at how easy it was. I knew that I was. Heap bid me wanders around a paper maze. It must have pleased Naraku to no end. Probably Kikyo as well. That is if there was a person to amuse in there at all. But at least now we were getting somewhere. But I was still worried. It was almost too easy. If we escaped, we would be trapped in this maze, but this wasn't much for security. There should have been at least one guard. Idly I was following behind my grandparents, and overheard their conversation. "If they want out entire family" Kagome was whispering, "Then why do they want Shippo? He's not blood kin to us!" Grandpa seemed to think about this for a minute. "Well," he started, "All of us were like a family. Sango was like your sister, and Shippo was like your son." Kagome gasped. "If that's right then Sango and Miroku are in danger too! We have to find them!" I watched as Grandpa slung an arm over Kagome's shoulders and told her that they would find them no matter what.
I thought on this for a minute. Aunt Sango and Uncle Miroku. They might be in danger too! I never got to meet them because they were as human as Grandmother Kagome, but I heard all the stories about them. I smiled, remembering how Dad would tell me of the monk's habits, namely grabbing Aunt Sango's behind. That would have been amusing, but seeing her smash him with her boomerang would have been even more entertaining! 'Even though this is supposed to be a dangerous mission and now something to look forward to, I am looking forward to this now! I may actually get to see then in person!'
After we started breaking through the walls, some 'guards' came running to challenge us. But with Grandpa, Grandma, Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Mom, Uncle Sesshomaru, and myself, they were not even a smudge beneath out toes! And as it turned out, we actually were walking in circles. After we broke down most of the walls, we were in a circular room. A huge circular room to be exact. There were two doors. One was a closet that had cleaning supplies. Mostly blood remover. For a psychopath, he was remarkably cleanly! It was almost ironic!
We never got to open the next door. It was blasted off its hinges as Grandpa was reaching for the handle. Standing just outside the room was the clay corpse herself holding her bow and arrows. I could feel the tension skyrocket in the room. I don't think anyone needed introductions. The only one in the room, the corpse excepted already, who did not show outright hatred for Kikyo was my Uncle. He had his cold mask back in place already. But I could see a hint of dislike in his normally cold eyes. 'WOW!' I thought. 'He must really hate her to show THAT much emotion!' I knew that she was the enemy, as well as I knew that she was very powerful. Otherwise Naraku wouldn't have her helping him. I didn't bother with weapons. She could break them easier that humans broke their nails. So I was going to use my claws. I knew mom and Grandpa would do the same. Grandpa didn't have his sword anymore. He didn't need it he was just that strong. Mom never had a weapon but her claws. Uncle Fluffy, Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama would use what they always used. And Grandma Kagome would use her powers as a priestess. All eight of us were going to take on one dead priestess.. All eight of us were going to take on one dead priestess. Here went nothing, or everything. We had this in the bag. Right?
Maybe not. Five of us charged Kikyo first. (A/N: that would be Alex, Inu- Yasha, Inu-Tasha, Sesshie, and Hiei) And all of us were blown back with a careless wave of her hand to slam into the far wall. Mom and Grandpa didn't get back up. Kagome ran over to her husband, and her daughter to make sure they were still alive. Since she didn't start crying, I was sure that they were ok. I heard Yusuke call out his attack and turned in time to see Kikyo dodge just in time to miss the edge of the powerful attack. She countered by using one of her arrows. It might have hit Yusuke and killed him, if it weren't for Grandma. She too had a bow in her hands. And in the wall opposite her, there was an arrow caught by another arrow imbedded in the wall. It exploded after a second, so I barely had time to register the sight. Now there was a gaping hole in the stone wall. The two priestess glared at each other while the rest of us who weren't unconscious started to surround Kikyo.
At first, she didn't seem to notice that we were surrounding her. We were very wrong. She not only noticed us, but she was able to counter all of us by just using her power. All of us were thrown into the wall behind each of us. That was the second time that this happened. I was getting mad. Just trying to rush her was getting us nowhere. So maybe it was time to try a strategy. I signaled to Uncle to go first. Hiei got the message as well, and attacked a second after Sesshomaru did. I went a second after him. Uncle Sesshie was blown back almost immediately. But that meant that Hiei got a second to get closer to her. He almost got all the way to her, but she turned at the last moment and shoved him away with her power. While she was concentrating on him, I was able to get all the way up to her. By the time she noticed me, I had already inflicted some damage. I raked her from shoulder to lower back before she sent me flying! I got first blood on her! Hooray for me! At least this plan seemed to work. But it wouldn't work again now that she knew what we were doing. That is, unless she was very stupid and I doubted that. But whatever we came up with next, it would be a little easier since she was now wounded. This fight was looking in our favor now!
