Frightening kittens: the new Olympic sport! Ignore that. On with the story!

Chapter 6: Darkness's Arrival (well, the title says it all really)

As our heroes slept peacefully (except for Yugi, who cried softly, Joey, who dreamt of cheeseburgers chasing him through a field of radishes, and Kaiba, who screamed for a Mr. Cuddlewumpus, who was presumably a small plush toy, possibly a bear), their guards (Silver Fang and Garoozis) were quickly dispatched by a pair of small shurikens, and a net that the team had accidentally mistaken as a normal clearing dragged them up into the trees. None of them noticed these events, but InuYasha's snoring was momentarily interrupted.

"Sir, targets acquired. Shall we proceed to Stage Two?"
"Yes. Do so."

*************

"BLOOOOOOOOOOMPH!!!!"
"Wha? Wassat? Wasamatter?"
"Eeek! Miroku!"
"Sorry Sango! Natural reaction, I swear! Please don't hurt me."
SMACK!
"Ow."
As our heroes were so rudely awakened, the camera turns to see a dazed Joey, an indignant Sango, and Miroku sporting a stylish seething red handprint on his face. Three seconds later, they all noticed two things: They were in a cave, and they were surrounded by miscellaneous demons.
"Oh, crap." Said Joey. The others were inclined to agree.

**************

"BLEEEEEEEEEEEMPH!!!!!!!!"
SMACK!
"AHHHH!!! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?"
"Sorry, InuYasha. Natural reaction."
"Kagome, InuYasha, could I direct your attention to a more pressing matter then slapping each other? We have company."
Just like in the chamber with Joey, Sango, and Miroku, Yugi, InuYasha, and Kagome were in another cave also full of demons.
"Shit." Said InuYasha. The others were inclined to agree.

**************

"BLAAAAAAAAAAAMPH!!!!"
"AHHHHHH! MR. CUDDLEWUMPUS! DON'T LEAVE ME, MR. CUDDLEWUMPUS!!"
"Who's Mr. Cuddlewumpus?"
POW!
"You are not worthy of speaking the name Mr. Cuddlewumpus. If you ever mention him again, I will kill you.
"Okay, but what about those guys? They seem like they want to kill us now, and they don't even know what we're talking about." Asked Shippo, for, just like the other two groups, he and Kaiba were in a cave and surrounded by demons, who as Shippo said, did look they wanted to kill them, and they too were curious about this Mr. Cuddlewumpus.

***************

"Who the hell is Mr. Cuddlewumpus? Whatever. Naraku, This plan of yours had better work, otherwise it's my ass on the line. And if I go down, you will be going with me."
"Do not worry. You did exactly as I told you."

Whoa. Looks like mister Voice in the Dark has company. Could this be the nefarious, the infamous, the. . . incontinent Naraku? And just what is this plan of his for our heroes? Well, it probably doesn't involve cookies, or at least not the good kind. Though that would be rather funny.

About Mr. Cuddlewumpus: well, do you guys have any better explanation as to why Kaiba is a hard-ass jerk monkey? I just know that there was some child hood trauma in his history, and I know that he and Mokuba were orphans. Besides, I thought it was funny and that is all that matters.
