I don't own Inu Yasha. Tip your hats to Rumiko Takahashi. I created the storyline. You may not take this story. You may suggest others to read. Tell them to go to http://www.fanfiction.net/~monkeysummoner
Please note this is also based on Godai, which is in a Japanese religion. I thank an unknown user for reminding me of the game it resembles lightly, Golden Sun.
Chapter 4
"Into the Inferno"
Inu Yasha, Kagome, Shippou, and Miroku all headed in the direction the Cosmos Rod was guiding them. They began to smell smoke and noticed a clearing ahead. The group was relieved when they stepped into the flat land ahead until the noticed what lied in front of them.
"Kagome, Inu Yasha, Miroku, look, it's a volcano. What if it erupts? We will be in big trouble if it does!" Shippou began to run around in little circles.
"Don't worry Shippou, I think it is very unlikely that it is going to erupt," said Kagome.
The ground began to shake and smoke began to fill the air. It was soon as black as night.
"Nice call Kagome," wailed Inu Yasha.
After the smoked cleared even more danger was seen. A large stream of red ooze began to flow out of the monstrous mountain. You could tell there was lots of it since the mountain was actually extremely far away.
"I smell food!" Inu Yasha began to sniff around until he noticed a village. "Let's head for that village. Maybe they can give us some incite about this mountain and give us some food!"
"Sounds good to me!" The group spoke with glee.
Along the way to the village, the group encountered a giant fire-breathing snake. Without a thought, Kagome whipped out her Cosmos Rod and blasted the thing with a white ball of energy, which sucked out its chi. Kagome had learned this trick from Shara, genie of the void. This made Inu Yasha angry because he also had recently learned a trick he wanted to try with his Tetsuaiga. It was called the wind flare. Inu Yasha's sword begins to radiate blue flames, and then the blue flames are launched from the sword in the shape of a sphere. When the target is hit, they will take numerous amounts of damage, then are encased in a crystal ball. The trapped can be released or destroyed.
When the group arrived at the village, it was nice and cool, compared to the heat wave they just walked through. It was also very quiet. In fact, it appeared like nobody lived in the village.
"It's so quiet. Do you think one of the Djinni came to this town and destroyed everyone?"
"Of course not Kagome. It would be impossible to leave no evidence of damage." Miroku then looked at Inu Yasha and said, "so where is this food you've been talking about?"
"I swear I smelt it. Look smoke! Someone must be cooking something."
The group went to the center hut in the village, where the smoke was coming from. They realized a large crystal in close to this hut and could feel coldness emanating from it. A mysterious aura could now be seen along what looked like the edge of the small village.
"Look at that! That must be where the temperatures became bearable." Shippou was still relieved that it was not so hot.
A very deep voice was heard that said, "Who goes there?"
"It is only Miroku, Kagome, Inu Yasha, and me!"
"Is this, Kagome, the chosen one who found the Cosmos Rod?"
"I am the one that has the Cosmos Rod."
"One moment please."
"Hello, one who is to be saving us!" This time the voice was similar to Jaken's. "Do you know who Jaken is?"
"Yes, he works for Sesshomaru. We know him quite well. Why do you ask?" Kagome was very intrigued that someone knew who petty Jaken was.
The group did not see the person they were talking to because he was in a house. When he did walk outside, the entire group gasped. The person they were talking to was non-other than a member of the same race as Jaken.
"He is such a good boy. He never comes to visit us though."
"Let's get right to the point, old toad man. We need to know the deal with that volcano up there, and if you don't tell us, there'll be dire consequences!"
"Freeze!" The little toad shouted with all his might. Inu Yasha was then frozen in place.
"Hey! Why did you do that?" Shippou asked the demon that was shorter than him.
"Just demonstrating the toad magic Jaken never bothered to learn. Us toad demons each have toad magic within our tribes. This tribe has ice powers. Some others have the ability to steal and eat souls. Our tribe had to make this crystal when the volcano began to produce so much heat it was unimaginable. Once a week, a youngster attempts to go to the top of the mountain. Few ever return. There is this rumor that if you find a special jewel at the top of the volcano, you will be able to control fire and heat. Maybe you wish to attempt the climb?"
"I think we will," Kagome stated bravely. "It sounds like there's a star in the rough up there. We will sleep until daytime has passed so we can climb in the dark, when it may be cooler."
The group slept in a small inn with only four rooms. They were all relieved to be sleeping on a bed instead of the ground tonight.
When night came about, the crew went outside. There, almost everyone was outside. All of the elders were gathered around a small chalice. They were saying some strange incantation. All of the younger villagers were humming "Do-Mi-So-Do-So-Mi-Do" up and down again. The words were hard to make out, but it sounded like they were saying, "eat-my-smelly-feet-smelly-my-eat." Suddenly, everyone felt a rush of sub-zero air.
"The purification of this small crystal is complete. Come forth chosen one, to claim that which will protect you from the flames of the bowels of Jaken's Peak." The elder that said this seemed possessed.
Kagome stepped forward with great caution. It seemed with every step Kagome took, the gem moved farther away.
"Hurry up and take the gem Kagome!" Inu Yasha was the only one to break the silence.
"Sit, sit, sit, sit, and sit!"
With each shout of the incantation, Inu Yasha's body twitched until the final slam.
"Hey, what was that for? I just thought we needed to be on our way."
"Whatever, Inu Yasha. Kagome, Miroku and I know you're just so impatient."
"Whack!"
"Hey! What was that for?"
Inu Yasha never answered Shippou's question. After the goodbyes, they headed up the mountain. Ironically, it was called Jaken's Peak. They wondered if Jaken was the name of a powerful god in their beliefs.
On the way up the mountain, Inu Yasha got to test out his new attack. Miroku found it beneficial if he sucks up the peculiar crystal balls. The monsters they fought were mostly Magi-tail demons, a somewhat flaming slug with a hard shell. They were easily defeated.
Upon reaching the top of the mountain, the group noticed a small shrine. There was an indent where the Cosmos Rod would fit perfectly. Kagome immediately stuck the cosmos rod into it. five symbols appeared around the Cosmos Rod and one, which was easily recognized as void, lit up with a white light.
The ground shook like no tomorrow and the small crystal that protected the group shattered. The vigorous heat consumed all, until a red jewel appeared over the mouth of the volcano. Kagome grabbed the Cosmos Rod and attempted to suck the jewel towards her. It only move so far until it began to shine brightly. All of a sudden, the crater of the volcano turned into a large battle arena. The jewel was now in a small shrine, and a mysterious smoke of mysterious origin blew in across the arena. A large figure was seen in the smoke.
