Chapter Two
"Transmogrification Potion"
After circling the castle about three times they found Jakin. Apparently Sesshomaru had tried to ditch him. He tried to kill him too, but apparently leaving him in crocodile infested waters doesn't work. Either they didn't eat Jakin because they felt that he was one of them or he smelled so bad that they all died on contact.
"My god! Sesshomaru was right! This is a damned castle!!" Namida cursed, "It should NOT be this hard to find a stupid entrance!"
"I agree with her. It really shouldn't be this hard." Sesshomaru said nodding.
"Four." Sorayu continued counting.
"THANK YOU, SORAYU!!" Yoru snapped, "Do you think that you could count something else other than how many times you go around the castle?"
"What do you want her to count, the trees?" Akaineko said sarcastically.
"Don't give her any ideas, Akaineko!" Namida said.
Suwaru stopped and pulled out an InuYasha manga and flipped through the pages. She looked up and scanned the area, "If we move forward a couple feet and look to our right, then we should find the entrance."
"You mean to say the spot that we passed three times, and that I pointed out to you three times, and every time you said that that wasn't it because it was too out into the open?!" Yoru was very pissed.
"And you couldn't have taken that out earlier because?!" Namida was also pissed, she managed to calm herself then walked to the entrance and opened the door, "Come on all."
"But I want to see the fight!" Shippo wined.
Shippo was talking about Yoru stalking towards Suwaru, looking thoroughly pissed off.
"No, Yoru! Don't be rash!" Suwaru ran faster that anyone thought that she could. She made a strait bee line for the open door, and left Yoru in the dust.
"Suwaru, I wasn't going to kill you!" Yoru yelled, then she suddenly lowered her voice, "I'd just maim you." She walked in after Suwaru.
Sesshomaru and InuYasha were stunned, "Is that normal?" Sesshomaru said to the remaining girls.
"Yeah.....it is. It's a good thing she didn't have a sharp object." Akaineko said calmly as Sesshomaru and InuYasha both checked their sides for their swords.
They fallowed in the other two into the entrance. Five minutes of nervous silence went by slowly, and yet again, Shinsetsu decided to break the silence.
Apparently she had forgotten that InuYasha, Sesshomaru, and Shippo were with them. She walked up to Yoru, got down on one knee, "Kagome, will you bear my child?"
Sesshomaru leaned to the closest person near him, it just happened to be Namida. He whispered, "Is she gay? Or crazy?"
Namida looked at him, "Umm......well we aren't sure yet. I'm just stunned that she did that with you and InuYasha here."
Everyone was just as surprised as Namida and Sesshomaru were.
"What the heck is wrong with you?!" Yoru slapped Shinsetsu across her face.
"Shinsetsu did you forget that InuYasha and Sesshomaru are right behind you?!" Akaineko asked backing away slowly.
"Or are you just stupid?" Suwaru asked.
"Fluffy thinks that you're gay, now." Namida said happy with the pet name that she chose for Sesshomaru.
"Damn this thing!" He cursed quietly.
"Umm.......Who is Fluffy?" Shippo asked.
Sesshomaru sighed, "Present." He said as all the girls giggled. "Stupid cackling hens." He said quietly.
"That sounds fitting." InuYasha grinned.
"Watch it, half breed!" Sesshomaru said giving InuYasha a smirk, Jakin shuddered.
Suddenly, as if Akaineko got bored or she had a sudden burst of energy filled her, she ran forward and touched InuYasha's ears. She muttered "Squeaky squeaky, fuzzy fuzzy." As she pet the ears.
"Don't touch me, wench!" InuYasha smacked her had away.
"Sorayu give me my five bucks!" Yoru demanded.
"OK. LET'S GET SOMETHING STRATE!!! I'M NOT GAY! I'M JUST IN CHARACTER!!!!!!!" Shinsetsu yelled.
"Ok. I'm going to speak to her through you now....Namida right?" Sesshomaru said thinking that Shinsetsu was WAY too beneath him to talk too directly.
"Fine with me, Fluffy." Namida said grinning. *He knows my name!!* She thought.
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes at his pet name. She liked him and he knew it, *If only she were demon.* He thought.
They came to a dark long, dark hallway, and stopped. The dark abyss didn't look too welcoming.
"We going in there?" Sorayu said, imitating Dory from Finding Nemo.
"Yep." Yoru said.
"P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way?"
"Yep."
They all exchanged looks of nervousness and then looked at Sesshomaru and InuYasha, the only two that didn't look nervous. InuYasha, wanting to be the brave one, was the first to move. He took a hesitant step forward they continued down the hallway. Sesshomaru was next followed by Namida, the little squirrel in her sleeve, and Jakin. Next was Akaineko and Shinsetsu followed cautiously. Yoru walked as fast as she could to catch up with InuYasha, she stopped when she was behind him.
Shippo and Sorayu on the other hand were so scared that they clung to each other for dear life. Suwaru had to pull them apart just so they could walk.
They continued down the hallway in silence, the sound of their footsteps like they be heard for miles. The hallway continued for a long, long time and slowly began to grow darker. None of them noticed that the group had stopped until there was a small crash of a Namida and InuYasha collision.
"Ouch, damn it!" Namida cursed quietly.
"Got that right, wench! You want to get us caught?!" InuYasha scolded her.
Sesshomaru's eyes started to glow red, and Akaineko came up behind Namida, "Shut up, InuYasha. It's your fault for not telling us you stopped!"
InuYasha gave her a death glare but it was too dark to see him do it, heck you could only see Sesshomaru's eyes glowing red in Namida's defense.
"Can anyone see anything besides Sesshomaru's evil death glare?" InuYasha said even at a whisper his voice seemed too loud for the hallway.
"No." Namida snapped, but she spoke for everyone.
Sesshomaru's eyes had stopped glowing, "Jakin." He said in his 'I control everything' voice.
"Yes, My Lord?"
"Go in front of InuYasha and use the Staff of Heads to light up the hallway."
"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru." Jakin felt his way in front of them and a blast of fire lit up the hallway.
"Burn, baby, burn!" Shinsetsu said with a crazy voice.
"It just keeps going and going and going and going and going."
"Thank you, Sorayu!" Akaineko snapped.
Something glistened on the floor that caught Sorayu's and Shinsetsu's eye. The two of them lunged for it at the same time, flatting Jakin in the process, the light went out and Namida shrieked.
"What?!" Everyone looked at her, well where they knew she was.
"Y-y-y-you t-t-t-touched J-Jakin!" came her reply.
"Oh! That's just wrong!" Sesshomaru said disgusted.
Both Sorayu and Shinsetsu jumped up, "Yuck!" They said
Once that was over, they continued down the hallway from hell and finally came to a door. Once open, they saw Kagome, Rin, Sango, and Miroku chained to the wall.
"InuYasha!" Kagome shouted at the site him.
"InuYasha, you finally showed up." A deep voice said.
They all looked to see Naraku emerge from the shadows. Akaineko ran forward and gave him a small kiss on the lips, then stood next to him and stroked his hair. "Hello, my pet." She crooned.
Naraku spat, "Did InuYasha just k-k-kiss me?" He stuttered.
"No, that's not InuYasha." Namida said then pointed to InuYasha, "That is."
Akaineko pulled off the InuYasha wig that she was wearing for the costume. Her short hair was a bright crayola red. "See I'm not InuYasha." She said as she continued to pet him.
"Good." Naraku said quietly, he liked the attention but it didn't show.
"Naraku, give back Rin!" Sesshomaru pulled out Tokijin.
"And Kagome, Sango, and Miroku!" InuYasha pulled out the Tetsiaga
"Why?" Naraku was starting to get a little annoyed with Akaineko.
Sesshomaru took a step forward, InuYasha soon followed.
"Yoru," Namida whispered to her friend.
"What?"
"While they distract Naraku we can free Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Rin, then run for it."
"We'll need help." Yoru was doubtful.
"Get Shinsetsu, Suwaru, and Sorayu. Akaineko is obviously preoccupied."
"Fine." Yoru walked as quietly as she could to get the others.
Namida walked to Sesshomaru and relayed the plan to him. Once she got his permission she snuck off to free them. She managed to get Miroku unchained first, he showed his appreciation by running his hand over her butt. She gave him a small smack and continued with the others chains.
Yoru showed up with Shinsetsu. Apparently the others were too scared to move. With all of them per chain they freed them. As soon as they were done, Namida yelled to Sesshomaru that they were ready to leave at any time now.
They made a good retreat considering the reluctant Akaineko put up one hell of a fight. Once outside they continued running and refused to look back, except Akaineko who had to be carried but Sesshomaru. Only after Sesshomaru and InuYasha slowed down did they know that they were safe.
"Good plan, Namida." Suwaru said, they all nodded in agreement. Namida enjoyed the attention.
"Does anyone know what Naraku was planning on doing with the four of you?" Sesshomaru asked.
"He was planning to turn us into demons with this, Lord Sesshomaru." Rin held up a strange bottled substance, that smelled so horrible that InuYasha and Sesshomaru passed out from the smell.
One hour later they woke up. Rin and Namida were hovering over Sesshomaru.
"Are you alright, Fluffy?" Namida said.
"Fine. Rin, let me take a look at that." Rin handed the bottle to Sesshomaru as she was told.
"It could be a potion that turns humans into demons. After all that's what Naraku was planning, wasn't it?" Namida said.
"Lord Sesshomaru, I'll hang on to it for you." Jakin said.
Sesshomaru handed him the bottle, but in the process Rin grabbed at Jakin's hand making the bottle fall.
