Author's Note-Hey.this is the quickest I've posted in a while.anyways, we
own nothing, we haven't found any new Shikon shards, and Kisike left us to
babysit Kouga who was currently staying in her attic. Here's the new
chapter.
Amanda looked around. She couldn't see much. There was a thick fog surrounding her. Wherever she was, it was cold, too. She shivered. "Where am I. . .?" she asked herself. "Why am I not back in my dimension. . .? Am I. . .dead?" she wondered.
"Hello? Is there anybody out there?" She called. Her voice echoed around her. "Hellooo!" she tried again.
"Amanda!" Inuyasha called, running over to her. Amanda looked over and could see his shadow in the fog.
"Inuyasha!" She exclaimed. Inuyasha embraced her in a hug. "I'm so scared. . .where are we. . .am I dead?" she asked him.
Inuyasha looked down at her, then looked away. "Amanda. . ." he started.
"You're not dead." Said a familiar voice behind Amanda. It was Kagome's. "But you're gonna be."
Amanda's went wide as three arrows struck her in her back. Inuyasha disappeared and Amanda fell to her knees and then fell forward. "At least. . .at least Inuyasha isn't hurt. . ." she whispered. She started to shed light tears of pain.
"Foolish girl. You and your friends will never live long enough to leave this place. And after I have the four of you killed, I shall move on to your other friends. Evil will overcome this dimension. . .it shall be the first step of my conquest. . .and you nor your friends can stop me!" A voice boomed around her.
Amanda groaned and struggled to get to her knees, but couldn't. "Time no longer has any meaning for you. You won't live long enough for it to become a part of your life now. The prophecy shall be wrong-I will make sure of that-and there will be no coming back this time for you." The voice continued.
"What. . .?" she muttered faintly. "Who are you. . .?" she demanded weakly, lifting her head slightly. The shadow of someone approached through the fog. "Inuyasha. . .?" she asked.
"No." Spoke a quiet voice. It was a man. He had short black hair and brown eyes, and had kind eyes with a hint of treachery. "He is the all- knowing. And I am no one you should concern yourself with. If you live. . ." he started. He suddenly vanished.
A mask and a candle fell near Amanda's hands. "What's this. . .?" Amanda asked. "A mask and a candle. . .?" she asked. "What's going on. . .? Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" She called.
***
"Inuyasha!" Amanda yelled.
Inuyasha winced. "Dammit. . .I wish there was something I could do to help her. . ." he muttered. He had bandaged Amanda's arm. Miroku sat by the door, intently staring at the watch. Kouten and Shippou stayed in the corner. Inuyasha had a feeling that they were probably asleep.
'Amanda. . .I want to help you. . .but I can't. . .not right now, anyways. . .' he thought. 'This is all my fault. If only. . .if only I was sure that that spiderhead was dead. . .it was really after me. . .I should have been more careful! Now you're going to die.just like Kikyo. . .just like Kagome. . .and it's going to be all my fault again!'
"Inuyasha," Miroku spoke up, "it's been about twenty minutes. I'm worried. . ." he said, glancing at the door.
"I'm going to go out and look for them." Inuyasha said, standing up. "You make sure Amanda doesn't die."
"Inuyasha, it would be much more feasible if you let me go out and look. At least I can use my air void. You, on the other hand. . .you're powerless and without a weapon tonight." Miroku said.
"Afraid not. Don't forget, if this is a trap set up by Naraku, then there are definitely those hell wasps that you'll have to deal with. Besides, who says the spiderheads won't poison your air void?" Inuyasha replied. He opened the door. "I'll be right back. And I'll be back with the medicine and the girls too."
He walked outside and looked around. "Now, where did they go. . .?" he muttered. A yell suddenly sounded out throughout the forest. His head snapped in that direction. "There!" he exclaimed, running in the direction of the yell. He saw a web up ahead and ran around it, continuing until he came to where the camp was.
***
"Like I said, there's just too many of them!" Bridget said as she dodged another web.
Kisike looked around at all the spiderheads. "Aw. . .they're so cute. . .BUT WHO CARES?!" she yelled, sounding much like Excel.
Bridget and Raylin sweatdropped. "Uh. . .yeah. . ." Bridget said slowly.
"These things are not 'cute'. They're spiders for Pete's sake." Raylin said.
"Yes! Kill 'em all!" Kisike yelled. She blinked. "Wait. . .who is Pete?"
"Hey, duck!" Raylin yelled.
"What?"
"No, duck, duck!"
". . ." Kisike ducked as a spider web blew over her head.
Bridget stepped aside to avoid the continuing web. "We're wasting time. We need to hurry up and find the medicine." She said.
"But how?" Raylin asked.
Bridget glanced around. "I'm not. . ." she started to say. She stumbled and her eye caught the gleam of a Shikon shard. 'A shard. . .' she thought.
"Bridget, something wrong? Don't tell me you're tired already." Raylin said, raising an eyebrow as she tilted her head to the side, dodging a web.
"Forget me, but answer this: Does anyone in our group have the Shikon shards with them?" Bridget asked.
"Yeah. . .Inuyasha has them. . ."
"Good. Alright then, see that spiderhead over there?" Bridget asked, nodding over at a spiderhead.
Raylin and Kisike nodded, looking over at the spiderhead.
"That spiderhead has a Shikon shard. If I'm right, it's a VIS taking a shard to its leader." Bridget explained.
"Ooooh. . .let's kill it!" Kisike said, running after the spiderhead with the Shikon shard. A web shot out at her and wrapped around her right arm. ". . .Dernit!" She slashed the web off with her claws and continued running, but of course, now the spiderhead had a head start. "I will be back soon!" Kisike yelled, disappearing into the night.
"Wait! It isn't safe to go after that thing alone!" Bridget yelled.
"I'll follow her if you guys don't need help here." A voice said at the side of the camp.
Bridget and Raylin turned to look over at Inuyasha. ". . .Why aren't you in the shack?!" Raylin demanded.
"To save you guys and get the medicine." Inuyasha said.
"Bad news: The spiderheads have the medicine." Bridget replied.
"Shit. . ." Inuyasha said. He then proceeded to run off a string of wordy-derds that we will yet again not repeat for fear of young minds.
"I think we've pretty much got this under control. You just see if Kisike's dead yet." Raylin said, dodging another web. 'I don't have time to fit an arrow onto my bow. . .only to dodge. . .' she thought.
Inuyasha hesitated at this. "You sure? You really don't look like you have it under control. . ." he started.
"Just go, dammit!" Bridget yelled in frustration as she hacked away with her sword at the spider webs coming at her.
That was enough for Inuyasha. He took off after the neko-jin. Raylin sighed. 'Baka Inuyasha. . .he could easily get himself killed doing this.and then Amanda's gonna kill us. . .and I'm gonna kill Inuyasha's corpse if the others are dead because he left when we come back. . .if we come back. . .' she thought as she barely dodged another web.
***
"Kisike! Kisike!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran. He saw a dark figure up ahead. ". . .Oi, Cat-brat!" he yelled. The figure froze.
"Cat-brat. . ." she echoed, obviously a bit annoyed. ". . .Baka Inu. . ." she said. Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he came to a stop next to Kisike. "I don't know why you're bothering to follow me; you'll just get in my way. You should have stayed with the others and let me kill you later on when I go on my killing spree and destroy everyone on the planet. . ." she said.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes again. "Feh. Like you could. Besides, you three we obviously not doing so great by yourselves. . ."
"And we're going to do much worse now that you're here. Oh well. Might as well die sometime." Kisike said. She smiled. "C'mon."
She started off again, Inuyasha sighing heavily and following close behind her. A few minutes later, they slowed to a stop in a small clearing.
"Damn. . .where'd he go.." Kisike mumbled, her eyes narrowing as they darted around, searching every inch of the clearing. Inuyasha stopped just in front of her, letting out a long sigh.
"You let him get away?" He asked. Kisike glared at him, then shook her head and growled.
"It's your fault, you're the one who stopped me! You fool, if you hadn't slowed me down I would've caught up to him by now!" She yelled, curling her hands into tight fists. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and snorted.
"Don't blame your screw-ups on me, cat." He grumbled, crossing his arms and lifting his chin slightly. He yipped as Kisike hit him up side the head. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" He demanded. Kisike scoffed and walked a bit farther out into the grassy area.
"Well. . .knowing those cowards he's probably long gone, around this area and back to his master by now. Shall we head back?" She asked as she turned to face Inuyasha. Inuyasha sighed and stretched.
"We need to find that medicine. . .I'm not sure how long Amanda's gonna last.." He started to say something more, before shout rang throughout the trees. Inuyasha's ears flicked and Kisike turned sharply. "What was it.." Inuyasha asked finally. Kisike blinked and shook her head.
"Not sure. . .think it was Raylin or Bridget?" She wondered aloud, looking up at the treetops. Inuyasha twitched slightly.
"I don't know, but we need to find that medicine!" He growled, starting back towards the shout. Kisike blinked at the back of Inuyasha, then sighed, slowly walking after him. She stopped short when she heard something behind her. Turning sharply, she gasped, her nails extending just in time to get them tangled up in the webbing spewed out by a spider head. She grimaced and yelped, pulling at her arms, which were now covered in sticky web stuff.
"INUYASHAAAAA!" She yelled, grimacing again and sliding forward, even as she rocked back on her heels and brought her weight fully against the pull of the spiderhead, which just so happened to be a particularly large spiderhead. Kisike yelped as she caught sight of another onslaught of webbing shot towards her, aimed at her legs, she jumped up, falling forward, getting only one leg caught in the webbing, flipping her over, while the other leg came up as much as she could make it while lying on her back on the ground. The cluster of web that missed attached to the ground behind her and pulled a large chunk of earth up from the ground as the spider head reeled his web back in.
***
Inuyasha turned quickly on his heel, hearing Kisike yell, he ran back to the clearing as fast as he could, and Raylin and Bridget soon came up on either side of him, weapons out and ready. Raylin lowered her bow slightly, having aimed it at the largest spiderhead.
"How much time does Amanda have?" She asked quietly. Bridget narrowed her eyes.
"About twenty minutes. . .it'll take us maybe that long to get back to the cabin and get all the components right in the potion.." She said slowly. Inuyasha snorted and growled softly.
"Dammit. . .what are they doing. . ." He wondered out loud. Raylin shrugged and rearmed her bow and arrow. Kisike whimpered softly from her place, currently being slowly wrapped into a silky coffin by the large spider head. She turned her head slightly, able to see the three barely out of the corner of her eye.
All at once the Master Spiderhead seemed to drop from the sky, landing just about a few feet from Kisike's half covered body, squashing the 'large' spiderhead beneath two of his legs. Kisike's eyes went wide as a few droplets of blood landed on her cheek. The main spiderhead grinned maniacally at Inuyasha, Bridget, and Raylin. His main eyes focused on Inuyasha.
"Your human woman has 15 minutes to live now. . ." The bag of medicine plopped down just beside Kisike's knee, about 22 feet away from Inuyasha. One leg from the spiderhead twitched, and then moved so his foot pressed down on her forehead. Kisike ducked her head slightly and groaned, her cheeks turning a light blue color as she closed her eyes tightly. "Take the medicine or the girl. . .one or the other. . .I suggest you choose quickly."
Inuyasha's eyes narrowed slightly as he took a small step forward, knowing there was no time to waste if he wanted to get the medicine back to Amanda before she died. "I have your word none of my friends will be attacked by you from now on..?" He asked, looking up sternly at the spiderhead. The main spider head grinned and cracked his neck, jerking his head to the side as he began rolling Kisike in the webbing the other spiderheads were spitting out again.
"Of course. . .my word as the Leader of the Spiderheads." He said, bowing his head momentarily. Inuyasha's eyes wavered momentarily, he felt Bridget and Raylin's eyes boring into the back of his skull as he picked up the medicine, carefully making sure his eyes never came in contact with anything near Kisike, and he turned, walking back into the woods. Bridget and Raylin blinked repeatedly.
"You. . .can't. . ." Raylin started.
"We can't just leave her here!!" Bridget yelled, turning to glare at Inuyasha. Inuyasha stopped, but didn't turn back.
"We better get back to Amanda. . .before she dies. . ." He murmured, bowing his head slightly, his bangs shading his eyes almost completely. Bridget glared darkly, jerking her head to the side.
"So we just leave her here??" Raylin demanded. Inuyasha nodded and started walking again. Bridget ran in front of him and growled.
"Who the hell do you think you are??" She ground out. Inuyasha growled as well, grabbing Bridget's right forearm.
"I'm Inuyasha. The half demon. And if you two don't come with me right now they're going to kill Kisike. Now. Let's go." He growled, dragging Bridget along behind him. Raylin hesitated for a moment, and then followed silently.

A tall man with short black hair walked calmly up to the castle. He had a white buttoned shirt and black pants with a black cape around his shoulders. He knew where he was going, and yet, showed no fear. The guards of the castle saw him though and crossed their swords. "Halt! Who goes?" one of the guards demanded.
"No one of your concern. I am here to see the lord of this castle on business." The man said coolly.
"We were given no notice of your arrival." The other guard said.
"I have an offer to make him. . .I was sent by my leader."
The guards exchanged glances. The first one spoke up. "You're probably nothing more than a mere bandit. Leave now or we shall slay you." He said.
"I will not go until I have a chance to speak to the lord of this castle."
"Then you shall die!" the guard yelled, reaching for his sword.
The man, as quick as lightning, slashed the guard in two with his sword, then turned to the other guard and did the same. "I suppose I shall let myself in," he said, watching the two guards fall. He pushed the gates open and walked inside the castle. He walked through the castle as if he knew exactly where to go, and honestly, he did. He opened the door to one of the rooms and walked in.
The green-haired hanyou looked up, and then stood up. "You have slain my guards." He said.
The man nodded. "Yes. They were weak humans. It was simple enough." He said.
"Who sent you?"
"My master." Said the man. "The All-Knowing, and the most powerful of all mortals and immortals. He has an offer."
There was a pause. Then, "I'm listening."
"My master is powerful, but not yet at his full power, though it is building. There are four young girls that are a threat to this, though. When he reaches his full power, his power will be unrivaled. Darkness, evil, and chaos will rule over this world and even more. He will form his own council of immortals of evil from separate worlds, and if you capture these four girls, you may become immortal as well, not to mention unstoppable with the powers of a demi-god in this world. You won't even need the Shikon no Tama." The man said.
"Tell me your name, then tell me your plans and how I achieve this."
"I am the shape shifter named Shido. And to achieve this, you must get these four girls and not kill them." The man started. "And this is how. . ."
Author's Note- *answering machine comes on*
Amanda: The plot thickens!
Raylin: Well of course, it's supposed to thicken! It would be a pretty dull fanfic if it didn't!
Amanda: I was doing it for the sake of dramatics. Now shush. Do not make me get the duct tape.
Bridget: . . .You're both insane. *glances over at Kouga, who's playing Kisike's Inuyasha video game and happily beating Inuyasha, who's being controlled by the video game* . . .Since when did we agree to this? And why does he have to stay at my house?
Amanda: Because Raylin's dogs fear him and he'll rip up my Inuyasha plushie.
Bridget: My bunny fears him!
Raylin: Your bunny can defend itself. Haven't you ever seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail? The man-eating bunny? Yeah. . .
Bridget: -.- I don't own a man-eating bunny. He eats veggies. Anyways, review at the sound of the beep. *has taken off the tortured screams that Kisike put on the answering machine*
*the beep sounds*
Amanda looked around. She couldn't see much. There was a thick fog surrounding her. Wherever she was, it was cold, too. She shivered. "Where am I. . .?" she asked herself. "Why am I not back in my dimension. . .? Am I. . .dead?" she wondered.

"Amanda!" Inuyasha called, running over to her. Amanda looked over and could see his shadow in the fog.

Inuyasha looked down at her, then looked away. "Amanda. . ." he started.
"You're not dead." Said a familiar voice behind Amanda. It was Kagome's. "But you're gonna be."
Amanda's went wide as three arrows struck her in her back. Inuyasha disappeared and Amanda fell to her knees and then fell forward. "At least. . .at least Inuyasha isn't hurt. . ." she whispered. She started to shed light tears of pain.
"Foolish girl. You and your friends will never live long enough to leave this place. And after I have the four of you killed, I shall move on to your other friends. Evil will overcome this dimension. . .it shall be the first step of my conquest. . .and you nor your friends can stop me!" A voice boomed around her.
Amanda groaned and struggled to get to her knees, but couldn't. "Time no longer has any meaning for you. You won't live long enough for it to become a part of your life now.

A mask and a candle fell near Amanda's hands. "What's this. . .?" Amanda asked. "A mask and a candle. . .?" she asked. "What's going on. . .? Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" She called.

"Inuyasha!" Amanda yelled.
Inuyasha winced. "Dammit. . .I wish there was something I could do to help her. . ." he muttered. He had bandaged Amanda's arm. Miroku sat by the door, intently staring at the watch. Kouten and Shippou stayed in the corner. Inuyasha had a feeling that they were probably asleep.

"These things are not 'cute'. They're spiders for Pete's sake." Raylin said.
"Yes! Kill 'em all!" Kisike yelled. She blinked. "Wait. . .who is Pete?"
"Hey, duck!" Raylin yelled.
"What?"
"No, duck, duck!"
". . ." Kisike ducked as a spider web blew over her head.

'Baka Inuyasha. . .he could easily get himself killed doing this.and then Amanda's gonna kill us. . .and I'm gonna kill Inuyasha's corpse if the others are dead because he left when we come back. . .if we come back. . .' she thought as she barely dodged another web.

"Kisike! Kisike!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran. He saw a dark figure up ahead. ". . .Oi, Cat-brat!" he yelled. The figure froze.
"Cat-brat. . ." she echoed, obviously a bit annoyed. ". . .Baka Inu. . ." she said. Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he came to a stop next to Kisike. "I don't know why you're bothering to follow me; you'll just get in my way.

"You. . .can't. . ." Raylin started.
"We can't just leave her here!!" Bridget yelled, turning to glare at Inuyasha. Inuyasha stopped, but didn't turn back.
"We better get back to Amanda. . .before she dies. . ." He murmured, bowing his head slightly, his bangs shading his eyes almost completely. Bridget glared darkly, jerking her head to the side.
"So we just leave her here??" Raylin demanded. Inuyasha nodded and started walking again. Bridget ran in front of him and growled.
"Who the hell do you think you are??" She ground out. Inuyasha growled as well, grabbing Bridget's right forearm.
"I'm Inuyasha. The half demon. And if you two don't come with me right now they're going to kill Kisike. Now. Let's go." He growled, dragging Bridget along behind him. Raylin hesitated for a moment, and then followed silently.

A tall man with short black hair walked calmly up to the castle. He had a white buttoned shirt and black pants with a black cape around his shoulders. He knew where he was going, and yet, showed no fear. The guards of the castle saw him though and crossed their swords. "Halt! Who goes?" one of the guards demanded.
"No one of your concern. I am here to see the lord of this castle on business." The man said coolly.
"We were given no notice of your arrival." The other guard said.
"I have an offer to make him. . .I was sent by my leader."
The guards exchanged glances. The first one spoke up. "You're probably nothing more than a mere bandit. Leave now or we shall slay you." He said.
"I will not go until I have a chance to speak to the lord of this castle."
"Then you shall die!" the guard yelled, reaching for his sword.
The man, as quick as lightning, slashed the guard in two with his sword, then turned to the other guard and did the same. "I suppose I shall let myself in," he said, watching the two guards fall. He pushed the gates open and walked inside the castle. He walked through the castle as if he knew exactly where to go, and honestly, he did. He opened the door to one of the rooms and walked in.
The green-haired hanyou looked up, and then stood up. "You have slain my guards." He said.
The man nodded. "Yes. They were weak humans. It was simple enough." He said.
"Who sent you?"
"My master." Said the man. "The All-Knowing, and the most powerful of all mortals and immortals. He has an offer."
There was a pause. Then, "I'm listening."
"My master is powerful, but not yet at his full power, though it is building. There are four young girls that are a threat to this, though. When he reaches his full power, his power will be unrivaled. Darkness, evil, and chaos will rule over this world and even more. He will form his own council of immortals of evil from separate worlds, and if you capture these four girls, you may become immortal as well, not to mention unstoppable with the powers of a demi-god in this world. You won't even need the Shikon no Tama." The man said.
"Tell me your name, then tell me your plans and how I achieve this."
"I am the shape shifter named Shido. And to achieve this, you must get these four girls and not kill them." The man started. "And this is how. . ."
Author's Note- *answering machine comes on*
Amanda: The plot thickens!
Raylin: Well of course, it's supposed to thicken! It would be a pretty dull fanfic if it didn't!
Amanda: I was doing it for the sake of dramatics. Now shush. Do not make me get the duct tape.
Bridget: . . .You're both insane. *glances over at Kouga, who's playing Kisike's Inuyasha video game and happily beating Inuyasha, who's being controlled by the video game* . . .Since when did we agree to this? And why does he have to stay at my house?
Amanda: Because Raylin's dogs fear him and he'll rip up my Inuyasha plushie.
Bridget: My bunny fears him!
Raylin: Your bunny can defend itself. Haven't you ever seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail? The man-eating bunny? Yeah. . .
Bridget: -.- I don't own a man-eating bunny. He eats veggies. Anyways, review at the sound of the beep. *has taken off the tortured screams that Kisike put on the answering machine*
*the beep sounds*
