I'm Baack!! Sorry for not updating sooner, but it has been a very hassled
end of year! First we move out of state and my computer is packed away,
then not even two weeks later, my grandmother kicks the bucket! Helping to
deal with all the stuff you got to deal with when someone dies is a pain!
Funeral arrangements, moral support, going through the house! My
Grandmother was a Packrat!!!! We filled a roll off dumpster and it looked
like we didn't even touch her house! Then o month later when we finally get
back, my computer has been re-packed and buried under other heavy boxes! I
just got it out today and assembled it! So here I am! Typing away for all
you people who still want the next chapter!
And Thanks to all who reviewed the last chapter! I lost my sheet with all the names, but you know who you are! ^.^8
Disclaimer: If I owned something of this magnitude, why do I have a '97 piece of crap that has the nerve to be called a computer? ::Fumes::
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Some time has passed since last time)
Out in the hall, Mom was supporting Dad while Grandma Kagome was healing most of his injuries. But she said that it would take time to fully heal. It would be difficult for him to walk and to safely hold onto things. I guess that means no more beer for a while! When he woke up, he looked shocked to see us all, but he didn't say anything to anyone. But with Mom and Grandma there, I figure it only will be a matter of time before he tells them at least. Grandpa Inu-Yasha, as well as Sango, Miroku, Yusuke and Hiei were leaning up against a wall trying not to get in the way. Grandpa was scowling like there was no tomorrow. Uncle Sesshomaru was just standing in the middle of the hall, but away from everyone else. Kurama was standing next to me, which I guess would explain the scowl coming from. The baka was still lying in a broken heap on the floor in the room where we left him. The only thing he told us during the info beating session was that some strange guy in a monkey suit had grabbed him after we had already been sucked into the gate. Grandpa Inu-Yasha rolled his eyes at the bakas description of Naraku. It was a baboon pelt not a suit!
We were debating weather or not to take the baka with us or leave him to his stupidity. My vote? Leave him. I still remembered how he was so kill- demon happy when he had first seen me. I could hold a grudge when I wanted to. Kurama, although he said he didn't wish to have the 'mentally inferior' person along. It would be foolish to just leave him here for our enemies to find. He knew how many of us there were, and a lot of our fighting styles. I sighed. He was right. I hated that he was right. So we took him with us. And the lucky person who got to baby-sit him? Hiei of course! An unenviable task for the hot tempered jerk. The only reason he wasn't complaining, well, not much at least, was that if the baka made a sound, any sound, real or not, Hiei could punch him where ever he wanted to. And so like that, we traversed the halls in search of Naraku and a way out of this hell. Pun intended! It was becoming way too depressive here. But at least I got to see my Mom and Grandpa again. And I get to see my Grandmother for the first time! I like her. I can see why Grandpa Inu-Yasha married her. Even Hiei was less of a jerk when she was around. She was something all right!
It amazed me at the apparent size of Naraku's castle. IT had magic rooms and elegant halls. 'As well as working torture rooms' I thought to myself darkly. If this place wasn't so evil, it would be a beautiful place!
As with our search last time, we wandered for quite a while. But unlike last time, we had plenty of entertainment. Apparently, a whole lot of Naraku was here. Kanna with her mirror wasn't too much of a problem, but we did have to retrieve someone's soul from her. That person would like to remain nameless.*Cough cough Kuwabaka Cough cough* But the rest of us were able to subdue her with no problem, and broke her mirror. I just wish we didn't have to break the mirror. That's the only reason the baka got his back. He was so much nicer when he didn't have his soul. He didn't talk at all, and we could have left him behind! We didn't kill Kanna. To kill someone they needed two things that she didn't have. One, a heart. Naraku had that. We couldn't fault her for trying to keep herself alive. Two, they have to actually be alive. If you kill Kanna, a resident of hell, where's she gonna go? Answer: Hell. Right back here. So killing her was pointless. So, all we did was tie her up tightly and left her in a room, tied again to a support pole. And we thought about remembering where it was that we tied her up at, in case she can't get out of the bindings in a few days. We weren't that cruel to leave her tied up for all eternity.
After the battle with the child-like demon, I noticed a change in the baka. I'm not sure if any of the others noticed it, so I kept my mouth shut. No need to worry the others until I was sure myself. But the baka was entirely too quiet. Hiei, before was hitting him almost every minute and he wasn't taking any free shots. And now in the past hour, if he hit him twice, I'll eat one of my arrows.when I get some more anyway. Surely Hiei must have noticed, but then again, maybe he's just ecstatic not to hear the bakas grumbling to notice that he hasn't made any noise. Because of this perpetual silence, I almost yelped when Kageromaru (SP?) and his brother Jeromaru(SP?) crashed in from the ceiling, both behind and in front of us. We were surrounded. I was disgusted by the little one. He was just gross. But I had seem many things worse than him, so I could deal with him. With as many people that we had with us, it made fighting in the hall very difficult. Sango, Miroku, Grandpa Inu-Yasha and Yusuke took the larger of the brothers. (A/N: Sorry, I don't know which is which. I don't have any of my stuff with me to find out either! I'll fix it ASAP) Yusuke, Sesshomaru, Kurama and myself took out all our frustrations on the small ugly brother. But damn if the little guy wasn't fast. One second he's twenty feet in front of me, and the next thing I know, he's right behind me and my arm has a nice long gash in it. How I hated that turnip. Though what he did next kind of made me smile. He chomped down on drumstick a la baka. It must have tasted bad because he didn't stay locked on his leg very long. Maybe 3 seconds tops. Then he flopped on the ground and it looked like he was gagging. Yep. He was. I guess the baka wasn't tasty. I almost grinned at the pathetic sight. I did however grin as Uncle Sesshomaru and Kurama whipped him to pieces. I turned over to Yusuke to see how they were doing with their end, and Yusuke flashed me the thumbs up. The larger of the brothers was lying in a shredded mess. And to top off the whole thing, no one was hurt except the baka and me. Grandma Kagome was trying to help him, but either she was too tired from fighting Kikyo and healing Dad, or the baka couldn't be healed. Kagome was looking very tired, so maybe she just didn't have the energy. So we used the old fashioned way to bandage someone. We tore a strip off some shirts and wrapped then around his leg. I think I got the better end of the deal. Kurama, nearly shirtless, was helping me bandage my arm. I couldn't wrap it one handedly, so he was wrapping it for me, as well as placing some herbs in with the wrapping to help my arm heal faster.
As we started on our way again, I again thought about how silent the baka had been. During the entire fight he had not uttered one sound. So I leaned over towards Kurama and asked him if he sensed anything strange about the baka. I told him that he was being far too quiet. Kurama listened and nodded. "Yes, that is strange" he said. The he leaned over to first Yusuke and then to Hiei. Both started frowning. No one said anything to any of the others. They wouldn't notice if he was being quiet or not. And we all didn't want to worry them yet, just in case the idiot was being smart for once.
We had walked only a few more paces after our little chat when another incarnation of Naraku appeared. Kagura. Her fan obscured almost all of her face. Only her dark red eyes were visible. What was strange was that they didn't hold any hatred or malice in them. They didn't hold any emotion in them. They were solidly blank. Almost as if no one was home. When she raised her fan to attack us, it was as if she were nothing more than a puppet being pulled by strings. Her movements were wooden and stiff. It made dodging her attacks very easy. But from the huge chunks that her attacks were taking out of the walls, if you were hit directly, you would probably be dead, if you weren't already. With the way she was fighting, it should have been easy to take her out, but in the confines of the hall, it made advancing towards her very difficult. Kagura's attacks, while not very accurate, were becoming very large. When Grandpa yelled at me to get out of the hall, I didn't really fuss about it. There were too many people in the hall as it was. So I shoved my pride where the sun don't shine, and hid back with Dad. But I did watch the battle from around the corner. Now that there were less people, only Grandpa, Uncle Sesshomaru, Hiei and Yusuke were still fighting. The rest of us were around corners or behind the rubble that Kagura's attacks created. Kaguras herself was taking some hits, but it seemed that she had found some grace. She was dodging most of the attacks that they were sending at her. But the few attacks that got through were taking their toll. Blood was running in rivulets down her pale skin, staining her kimono. Uncle Sesshomaru used his claws to cleave her in two. She fell, silent, to the floor. Her blood pooling about her body and expanding outwards, towards us.
We had to walk through her blood to continue on, so we left a trail of bloody footprints behind us. The Baka was slumped like a rag doll as Hiei was dragging him through the blood. It was disturbing to see some of Kaguras blood pool slightly in his hands. Questions were plaguing my mind about his attitude, or lack there of. Why did Naraku bring him? I glanced back down at the person in question. My eyes widened lightly. His hands. They showed no signs at all of even touching any blood. And just a minute ago, Kagura's blood was pooled in them. This was getting stranger by the moment!

Here ends another Chappie. So what's the deal with the Baka? You'll just have to stay tuned! There are big nasty plans for him! Muahahahahaahahah! See Ya laters!
