Chapter 4:Sainger and Drainger,owners of the Thieves Caves.
They finally stopped. "You there,who are you?" "I'm no-one of consiquence. Your friend here is bleeding badly." The boy took of his shirt and tore it into long shreds. "These should double as bandages,they're made of linen." He wrapped them around Inuyasha's wound,but it bled through,just a little. The boy lit a candle and showed the surroundings. "This is the cave I've lived in since is was five. This candle has a circle of protection spell cast on it. So,if they do manage to find us,which is not likely,they will not be able to enter unless the candle burns out,which it never will,for it is everlasting." Miroku looked at the boy. "How old are you?" "I'm eleven,and if you must know,Noraku gave me this wind-tunnel when I was nine,when I was brave enough to stand against him." Miroku looked over at Kagome,who was siting next to Inuyasha. "Is there any other way out of here?" The boy pointed to a trap door. "There. It leads to the Thieves Caves." "How can we know to trust you?" Questioned Miroku. "Well,you have no other choice.." Miroku nodded in agreement. "How long will we be able to stay there?" "As long as the leaders say." "Who are the leaders?" Kagome asked. "Well,you'll find out once you meet them now,wont you?" Kagome was getting frustrated. "JUST TELL US WHO THEY ARE!" "I can't,and if you don't keep it down they'll find us." Kagome was twitching her eyebrow,not a good sighn. A sudden firey background appeared behind her. "TELL US NOW!" Miroku took the firey background off and threw it in the fire. "Thanks,Miroku." "Don't mention it." Kagome looked over at the trapdoor. "Fine,I'm going." She tried to open it but it was locked. "This,thing,wont,OPEN!" She huffed between pulls. The boy took out a key and unlocked it. Kagome was thrown back as it opened. She slapped the kid who was thrown against the wall. Her jow dropped and she went wide-eyed. The kid got up and dusted himself off,unscathed. "REALLY un-necessary,Kagome..." He jumped down the trap door. Miroku followed after. He came back and garbbed Kagome by the ankels and pulled her down.
Miroku watched everyone as they passed him. "Is this place an underground city?" "Your powers of stating the obvious are exceptioan,Miroku.." Taunted the boy. Miroku was growing weary of the boy. "We're here.." Said the boy. "Hey,WAIT UP!" It was Inuyasha. "INUYASHA!" Cried Kagome she ran over to him and squeezed him. Inuyasha yelled out. Kagome let go of him. "That hurt,alot.." He put his arm around his stomache. He continued on. Miroku finally began again when they reached him. The boy opened a door into a splendid room. There was gold,silver,jewels,every treasure you could immagine. Then it hit her. 'There are twelve jewel shards here...' She looked over to the throne. It was those two boys. They each had six. One in each arm,one in each leg,and one in their head and chest. They were merely boys,both wearing a mask. "Ah,Watsaru,we see," "You have brought us guests." They both spoke after each other,like they could read eachothers minds. "Yes,I have,Sainger,and Drainger. They seek shelter." "Well,what do,""They have to offer us?" Kagome thought. She had to think of something. Then it dawned on her,they had NOTHING to offer them. Miroku reached into Kagome's pouch and took out two jewel shards. "These," He announced,"One for both of you." They took them. "Ah yes,a worthy,""Toll,we thank you,""Very much." They inserted them into their necks. "As long,""As they wish to stay,""Is up to them." Watsaru nodded. He turned to them. "That is very rare,only honored guests can stay as long as they like." "Than we must be honored." Smerked Inuyasha. Kagome inspected them. "They're fox demons." The two almost fell over. "She is right,""We are,fox demons,""Allow us,""To show you." They both took off their masks to reveal fox-like faces. They had orange fur,and white-tipped tails. Drainger threw Miroku a stone. "If you ever need us,""Speak into this." Miroku nodded.
