We were able to follow the guard around with out being spotted for about an hour. And it seemed that he was just as lost as we were. But, in the hopes of getting out of this maze, we continued to follow him. After another two hours, it seemed that he was not in fact lost, just following a pre-determined route as patrol. I was thinking to my self as we followed him out the exit, how stupid he must be to let 10 people follow him with out his knowledge. Miroku even sneezed once for heavens sake! And the stupid git never even batted an eye! Maybe he was deaf or something? You never could tell with all these new minions and their movement for Minion rights! (A/N: You can tell I'm hyper right now can't you? ::Grins maniacally::) He exited after we had been following him for nearly 4 hours. We spent nearly a third of out day following a minion to get out of a stone maze...how ...interesting. And lucky us, he finally turned around and spotted us! But instead of panicking, he grinned! Like he knew some great joke and wasn't going to tell us!
"Gotcha ya!" He yelled. And about 50 Demon minions jumped on us. They must have underestimated us. Really underestimated us. All the minions were dead in 5 minutes flat. It was really pathetic. Especially for a 'Demon Master' as Naraku was mutely trying to claim. If he was powerful enough to capture all of us with out really even trying, then what was with the weak attacks? Was he trying to tire us out? Make us complacent? Delay us? What was he trying to do? It was infuriating to say the least! But at least we could navigate properly now that we were out of the maze. There is always a plus side to everything. I didn't think that men/ demons coming to my shrine was anything good. Normally it was just annoying, but this time it turned out to be fun! I haven't smiled this much since Grandpa died! And right now, said grandfather was talking everyone but me. I didn't really care what they were planning, I just wanted to kick Naraku's @$$! Even thought it has been fun, he still kidnapped my Dad! He would pay for that! I felt a hand settle on my shoulder. I glanced up at Kurama. "How are you holding up?" I grinned. "Nothing's got me down yet!" He smiled. God, how gorgeous he was when he smiled! It wasn't fair! Guys should not be prettier than girls! Not THAT much prettier! In spite of myself, I grinned again. HE looked at me quizzically, but I just shook my head. That was something he didn't need to know.
We, or should I say, everyone else decided to split up and methodically search the castle. When I asked how would we keep in touch, Grandpa just grinned. "Yell" he said. I grinned back at him. That was my grandpa! We were split into pairs. Grandpa and Grandma. Miroku and Sango, although Sango protested a little bit. Yusuke went with Hiei, since no one else could stand the pipsqueak. Mom went with Uncle Sesshomaru and Kurama and myself was the last pair. I think some one cough cough Kagome, was trying to set me up! Oh, well. At least I get to spend some time with the gorgeous Kitsune!
We split at a five-way corridor. Each pair taking a different path. (A/N: Well, Duh!) But it wasn't really a five-way path because Kurama and I ran back into Yusuke and Hiei. I hid a grin at how grumpy Hiei was. It was almost like how it was traveling with them when we started this rescue mission. It was annoying. "Why do we have to go along with everything that that dog demon says? How do we know that he isn't part of this Narku's plan?" Hiei was saying. I inhaled sharply. "How dare you insult my grandfather you moron!" I hissed at him. "You should pay attention to him because both he, my grandmother, Sango and Miroku have fought with him before. And they beat him too!" Hiei just muttered something to himself. I knew it wasn't something nice that he had said so I glared at him. And I prayed that we came upon another branch soon or I was going to flip out and strangle him! And as annoying as he was, I knew we would need his help later on. So, getting away from him was a good idea! And to make matters worse, Yusuke had only been grinning with his hands jammed in his jacket at our verbal battle. I glared at him too. "What?" I growled. "No one has ever been able to get him THAT unnerved since he first met me! I'm impressed!" I smirked a little bit and sauntered ahead of three males.
It wasn't that far to the next split in the corridor. I told Yusuke "Later" and started walking down the corridor that Kurama and I chose. He took longer than I did saying good bye. He just HAD to say 'Good Bye' to Hiei. I knew that that wasn't really fair. They are friends after all. I should lighten up. 'Nah' I decided after a seconds thought. These verbal battles are too much fun! I slowed my pace just a little to allow Kurama to catch up with me easily. Nothing was said for a few minutes. And I was the one who broke the silence first. "Why do you do this?" I asked him. He looked at me confused. "Do what?" he asked me. I looked at him. "Why do you have a job that helps humans and destroys demons? Most people would think that that is not an honorable thing to do..." He glanced at me and I thought I could see regret tingeing his face. "I did not take this job because I wanted to. It was either this, or...prison" The last word he said so softly that I almost didn't hear it. "Prison?" I asked. He looked ashamed. "I was a thief before I meet Yusuke. And Before that, I was a full- blooded Kitsune. I wasn't a nice person. I didn't care about anyone but myself." I glanced at him. He looked like he wanted to say something, but couldn't quite find the words. Admitting something like that was difficult. I admit that I had my years like that. So I did the only thing I knew of to give him the strength to continue. I grasped his hand and lightly squeezed it. He looked shocked for a split second, but then he smiled at me. "Thank you. I guess I needed that." I smiled back at him in reassurance. "A while back, when I broke into a heavily guarded vault, I was wounded by a spirit detective. The only way for me to survive was to meld with a human. So, I melded with an un-born human baby. I thought by the time my new body had grown up, my powers would be back at full strength and I could just leave. But then my human mother fell ill. It was then that I realized that because I was part human, I could feel remorse and guilt. So, I joined up with Hiei, who is also here instead of in prison, and helped him and another demon, who is now dead, break into Koenma's (SP?) Vault. WE took the three magical dark items. Hiei got the sword, I took the mirror, and the other one took the orb. After I had gotten the Mirror of the Forlorn Hope, I parted company with the other two. The Mirror will grant anyone a wish on the full moon in exchange for the wisher's own life. I used my wish to save my mother. But because of Yusuke, I did not die. He jumped in and wished that he switch with me so that my mother wouldn't have to go through the pain of losing her son. Because of that, we were both spared. And because I gave myself in, I was given the option to serve my sentence as a detective for the spirit world." I gaped at him as he finished his tale. I wouldn't look at him though. I knew that his eyes would be pleading with me to say that it was all right. And if I looked into those beautiful eyes, I knew that I would agree to anything. I answered the unspoken question before I looked at him. "I don't really care about what you did in the past. That is why it IS the past. But if you think that you must punish yourself for it, then you just feeling guilty over what you did is more than enough. It means that you wouldn't ever do that again." I then looked at him. His eyes were shining with happiness. "Thank You" He whispered. "It means a lot to me that you would put such thought into your answer and that you answered truthfully." My heart sunk a little lower as he said that. 'He only likes me for my level headedness' I frown tugged at my lips, when he continued. "Thank you for caring. It is easier to accept things if the person you care about accepts it knowingly. " My heart would have leapt into the sky if it was there, but it settled for the top of my throat. 'He likes me!'
