Unasareru 2- Quest for the Fang
Chapter 2
I have nothing to say. Most of this chapter was written during an eight- hour car ride, so excuse me if it gets delirious, I'll be sure to fix it soon. The rhymes are kind of- well, bad, but just bear with me. I'm not a poet- I'm an author, AN AUTHOR!!!!! Told you this'd be up soon!
Have fun reading! Please review!
Disclaimer No part of Inuyasha belongs to me. Nope, not one single hair on his head. Not one fuzzy kawaii ear... *continues for five hours*
... But I own all of Ijin, Tsuru, Rindou, Rouba, Aiko and Tougen. And anyone else I can think of...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Soon the cold, hard ground grew icy, dangerous icicles dropped from high ledges, shattering below. What little plants there had been disappeared slowly and a layer of frozen water formed beneath their feet. A huge wall of ice froze shut the way and boulders blocked the way even to the wall. Tougen stopped.
"Well, you'll have to pass my test to go on." He said boredly.
The group began to draw weapons in case of killer plants. One look around showed the area was devoid of such. Tougen pointed to the wall. "Get through." He commanded, before vanishing in a frozen wind.
So they made their attempts. A few kaze no kizu's didn't scratch one boulder. Not a single arrow did more than bounce off the rocks. Miroku could have sat and used his air rip all day, and it was obvious that wouldn't do any good, either. Everyone used every weapon they knew of. After five minutes of nothing, a cry went up from Tsuru.
"I give up!"
Sango moaned. Inuyasha crossed his arms. Shippou was still busily working at the wall. Random attacks by the stubborn kitsune were called out while the rest took a break, except for Kagome, who had moved next to the little fox and was furiously digging away at the dirt under the rocks. Inuyasha barely contained the look of admiration at the girl's determination. Two snorts erupted from behind the hanyou. He greeted them with a glare, but all feigned innocence.
Kagome turned around and gave a pleading look to Inuyasha before turning back to the work at hand. The hanyou complied and was quickly next to her digging away as well. The girl looked at him sideways and grinned. Inuyasha looked away and blushed, attempting to hide his face from everyone at the same time, but Miroku was smirking. Somehow the hanyou didn't think it was directed at him. It became painfully apparent why soon. SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! BAM! SLAP! SLAP!
"ouch."
"Miroku no baka."
And so went their journey into the dangerous land. Somewhat like in Ijin and Aiko's village, high walls paralleled the path on either side, but these were of ice. At least ten-foot long icicles hung from slight overhangs on the walls, casting light through their prisms in a deadly dance over the vast landscape.
They walked along rather quickly to keep their own body temperatures up, the air biting mercilessly at them all with a constant sting. Everything available was used to block the frozen gale- wings and cloaks and anything else anyone could get their frostbitten hands on. Suddenly, a huge icicle smashed right in front of the group. All stood at the ready, watching the icicle that seemingly came out of nowhere, only to hear a voice behind them.
"Tsk, tsk, poor you, you foolish bunch, of all of you I have a hunch. One mind could fall for that trick, but eight? Your stupidity is an outstanding trait. My test will be hard if you don't use your brains, though I doubt your loss will be much of a shame." The voice was feminine, and the owner was not quickly seen, as she camouflaged well into the surrounding area. A white, sphinx-like creature walked forward. Her head and upper body was that of a beautiful and pale skinned woman, but the rest of her chassis was of some pure white cat. Snowy fur reached to her throat, covering her arms elegantly.
"Who the hell are you?" Inuyasha demanded. The sphinx walked even closer, every step seemed more menacing until she reached Inuyasha. The cat reared to her ivory hind legs and looked him in the eye, cerulean meeting gold.
"Togoeru is my name and I shall be your guide. You must pass my tests to progress up the mountain side." She informed them in rhythmic, poetry- reading type voice. She pointed with a furry digit to a winding ice maze appearing out of the mist a way up the mountain. "If you manage to pass my riddles far up there, then you shall be a step closer to reaching Doragon's lair, but be warned, you foolish ones, if you fail one of the four, be assured you'll wander my maze forever more." She flashed a dangerously sweet smile and disappeared completely.
"Stupid rhyming cat." Tsuru spat.
"Well, that's that. Let's go." Miroku looked flatly up the mountain and gave a sigh. The rest followed quietly behind, very unsure of what was next.

That's it for that. Oh, and for anyone who reads or cares what I write down here. *sighs* Nothing I can think of as I write... You have been spared...
