Ahhh... it truly does feel good to be back, my friends. Those of you who
remain, anyway. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience my hiatus caused
all of you, but I simply was not able to keep up with school, homework, and
life in general. You need not fear anymore, however, because as you can
clearly see, I am here, once again. I have been plotting and thinking all
this long time what I would do for this story, and now, I am ready to
finally implement it. Not everything will be revealed here, but as the
story goes on, you may begin to be able to piece things together, however
slowly.... ON WITH THE STORY!
Chapter 19: Revelations, Past and Present (BAUM-BAUM BAAAAAUUUUUUM)
"Inuyasha, I'm hungry!"
"You want sand, Shippo? We have lots of yummy sand."
"Sand isn't yummy, Inuyasha, and I don't appreciate your blindly assuming that I will believe everything I am told!" barked the little fox demon, obviously miffed by Inuyasha's condescending comment. Everyone else just ignored their bickering, since it was just a repeat of the same conversation they had heard for the last several days while trekking through the desert.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
"Hey guys! Is that a pyramid!?"
"That's what it looks like, Kagome. It must be quite large, though, it looks huge, and we must still be hundreds of miles away."
"Damn.... I've seen mountains smaller than that thing..." Inuyasha muttered under his breath, clearly as much in awe of the gargantuan monument as everyone else. Kaiba was struck dumb by the sight of it, it was bigger than any skyscraper or monument he had ever seen or built as well. Joey, on the other hand, was just dumb.
"Uhhh.... aren't pyramids supposed to like... be pointy at the top?" asked the blonde. Everyone soon noticed that he did, indeed, have a point. Instead of the usual pointy apex of an average pyramid, there was instead what looked to be a crescent moon shaped impression at the top, as though it was originally there to hold something what must have been dozens of miles in the air.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
It was several days more before the travelers finally reached the pyramid Kagome had spotted. Miroku was right, it really was hundreds of miles away, and it really was dozens of miles tall. When they finally stepped inside the big door, they were amazed at the destruction they saw. Dozens of obliterated statues littered the floor of the chambers they walked through, and they felt very uneasy whenever they caught sight of a still intact head, and looked at where the eyes were, even though there was nothing to them.
The pyramid was completely silent all the time, and everyone was doing their best subconsciously to keep that silence intact. Except for Joey, who regularly breathed much too loudly for the comfort of the others, and his constant sneezing as he kicked up clouds of dust rang out across the chambers like gunshots.
Several minutes more of exploring, and looking at the strange carvings that were scattered across the walls, floor, and ceiling, and they found a staircase, leading down into the dark. The statues they had seen everywhere were now strangely absent, and no one really knew what to think.
They were quite surprised at what they saw. For once, even Joey's reaction could not be blamed on his vapidity, especially since the expression was identical to Inuyasha's, Kagome's, Miroku's, Shippo's, and even Kilala's.
------------------------ -------
The three were stunned at what they saw. Everything they had worked so hard for, all but demolished before their eyes. They knew they needed to move quickly.
Well, guys... whadaya think? Is it up to my usual high standards?
