Inuyasha:Attraction:The Void
Arriving back at the camp, Inuyasha looked around and sniffed the air. 'Hmm…they are in the hut, but where is that monk?' Patting Totosai's bull on the back Inuyasha took his leave, searching, always searching for the perverse monk. 'That idiot better not have run off and left the girls defenseless. I knew I should have chained him to the hut, like the dog he is.' Feeling a shift in the wind Inuyasha noticed something wrong with the smell of the air. 'There is someone following me, but I can't seem to pinpoint their location. It's like they are there but just barely, who can hide so well?'
Frustrated by the stupidity of the monk and this new threat in the air Inuyasha deemed it wise to return to the miko and demon slayer. 'Hopefully they have awakened, if not then we are all in a great deal of danger.'
Racing through the treetops Inuyasha quickly landed in front of the old forsaken hut, walking calmly toward the hut Inuyasha seemed to exude an air of serenity and peace. But on the inside he was sweating bullets, 'Seems the demon has followed me, I can deal with that later. First, I need to make sure Kagome and Sango are okay.' Entering the hut Inuyasha found a most serene atmosphere, the girls were lying curled in separate futons sleeping the sleep of the exhausted. 'Great, demons outside and two women who don't know when to wake up, how can this get any worse?'
"Will you be my bride? Oh will you be? Let me count the ways to our consummation, oh let me count the days!"
'Damn that monk and his awful singing, he will bring the demon upon us sooner than necessary.' Waiting for the opportune moment Inuyasha grabbed Miroku and covered the large gap between his nose and chin. "What the hell are you doing monk? Do you want to get us all killed?" Inuyasha was in no mood for the idiocy of his traveling companion, whispering instructions to the perverse monk Inuyasha came up with a plan to lure the demon from his hiding place. "You got it? Good, now be a good decoy monk, I will need all the time you can give me."
Not all to thrilled with the turn of events Miroku tried to voice his opinions, "Come on Inuyasha, why does it have to be me? Why can't you be the decoy while I carry the girls away?"
"For one, you are a perverse monk who has to many lecherous qualities to mention; two you can't jump around with over 300 lbs of weight on your back, and three I don't trust you as far as I can throw you." With that the two men put their plan into action, "Oh what am I going to do? I have the Shikon Jewel shards but have no where to go, whatever will I do?"
'This has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever done, who would ever fall for this act?' Appearing from the shrubbery a lithe girl transformed from the very air, pointing to his enclosed hand the girl motioned towards her. "You wish to have these shards of mine? Never, I will die before that happens."
'Man, how droll is this dialog? I knew if Inuyasha came up with a plan it would be stupid.' Seemingly gliding across the ground the little girl approached Miroku, shining a mirror made of the finest silver. "What are you going to do with that mirror? Show me my reflection?"
Shaking her head in a negative manner, the girl pointed it straight at Miroku and a beam shot out.
A burning sensation soon coursed throughout Miroku's body, 'What is happening to me? What has she done?' Soon another beam of light exited Miroku's body, and Miroku succumbed to the pain and the darkness.
Gliding across the ground Kanna, the incarnation of Naraku, looked down at the soulless monk. Without another thought Kanna went in search of the jewel shards, finding to her displeasure that the monk had lied all along. So the hunt had begun, the Void against the half-demon Inuyasha; Inuyasha could sense the draining of the monk. 'Damn, I knew I should have sent the fox-child instead. At least he would have lasted a bit longer.' Moving from tree to tree Inuyasha carried the two women away from the soul catcher.
