Author's Note-New chapter! We own nothing. . .yet. We haven't gotten any
Shikon shards lately. . .but we will. . .we're going back to the Feudal Era
when Kisike comes back from vacation. *nods*
Everyone blinked and jerked back into reality at a loud, yet familiar, maniacal laughter.
"You actually thought I'd let someone else kill you??" The laughter continued.
"Kisike??" Shippou asked hesitantly, only seeing slanted glowing eyes coming from the shadows.
"But. . .she's dead!" Inuyasha said, amazed. He then gasped as the spiderhead that had had him pinned slumped to the ground, dead.
"You'd like that wouldn't you." A low voice said, suddenly in front of him. Inuyasha jerked backwards and knocked his head back into the tree in the process. He looked up with wide eyes to see Kisike standing over him. Her eyes were slanted, and glowing a pale amber color. She snorted and straightened, looking down at him. She then smirked and tossed her head back, glaring at the others now. "Miss me??" She asked, just as the Master spiderhead toppled to the ground behind her. Amanda hit the ground, her eyes opening slightly as she began to wake up.
"Kisike, you're all right!" Raylin exclaimed. "Thank goodne-"
Kisike turned slanted amber eyes at her. "You were saying?" she asked.
"Hang on, Lady Raylin. That is not Lady Kisike." Miroku said. Raylin turned to him.
"Say what?!" she demanded.
"Oh, I'm Kisike. . .also known as Excel. . .but I'm still the same Kisike that you all left to die to the spiderheads." She said.
Amanda blinked. "Wha. . .what?" she asked, looking around at all the guilty and shocked faces. "Is there something you guys aren't telling me?"
"Just that these traitors saw the chance to get rid of me and they took it. Nothing too serious." Kisike said cheerfully evil. She narrowed her eyes. "Except for the fact that the dead come back for revenge. . .and my revenge will be taking your boyfriend's life."
Amanda's eyes widened. Inuyasha glared at Kisike. "Not happenin. . .you're not Kisike. She's dead."
"Oh, if only things were that simple!" Kisike said, looking and sounding like she was about to go into a rant. "Yeah, I would die, Amanda would live, she would give you grief, and then my three 'friends' would have to choose between this dimension and home, and have a hard time choosing. Yes, that would work out perfectly! Except it didn't, so now everything is just about as complicated as a pre-algebra quiz! Maybe even more!"
Raylin couldn't resist commenting. "Actually. . .pre-algebra quizzes aren't that hard. . ." she said. She looked over at Inuyasha. "Yep. It's Kisike. A very psycho Kisike. . .but still Kisike."
Kisike glared at Raylin. "Shut up." She ordered. She turned back to Inuyasha. "Actually. . .there is a way that you can spare the lives of the brats, Miroku, and maybe even Amanda." She said. "Give up your own. And give up the Shikon shards in your possession. That is the only way, unless you want to try to kill me with your own hands, but then, the effort would be totally and utterly futile, so I suggest that you give up without a fight."
"What?!" Inuyasha demanded. He also noticed the fact that Bridget and Raylin were not on the 'spared lives' list. "Look, I'll fight you, but leave Raylin and Bridget outta this! I was the one that made the decision, not them!"
"But they didn't even bother much to stop you. . .or to help me. . ." Kisike said. She glanced over at the spot that Bridget had been sitting. "Besides. . .I'm surprised that you're defending someone that would abandon the group to save their own skin." She said, smirking.
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
"I'm talking about Bridget."
"What?! She wouldn't leave!" Inuyasha said.
"That's right! Why would she?!" Amanda demanded.
Inuyasha remembered the tension that had went on between them. Had she really been angry enough to leave the group? He hadn't really noticed right then, but now that he thought about it. . .
He let that thought trail off as he looked over to where Bridget had been sitting. She had been sitting out of sight behind a tree, but surely she would have come out from behind it when the spiderheads attacked. . .? He glanced at Shippou. "Hey, Shippou. See if Bridget's still there."
"But. . .wouldn't she have come out when the spiderheads attacked and when Amanda stopped breathing and all. . .?" Kouten asked as Shippou stood up.
"She could have fallen asleep or something. Like I said, Shippou, just check."
Shippou muttered something under his breath, shaking his head as he stood up and walked over to the spot where Bridget had been sitting. "No sign of her. Not even footprints." He said.
Inuyasha looked down at the ground. "This is all my fault. . ." he whispered.
Kisike's smirk grew wider. "See? She's gone now."
"Why do you want the Shikon shards?" Inuyasha demanded.
"Oh, changing the subject, are we?" Kisike asked. "I suppose I shall tell you. You see, my boss wants them for himself."
"Your. . .boss. . .?"
"Yes!" Kisike said, raising her arm in a salute like she had done back at Naraku's castle. "Hail, Lord Ilpallazo!"
"Lord Ilpallazo?" Inuyasha asked.
A white baboon suddenly appeared behind Kisike. "You mean Lord Naraku." It said.
Kisike turned to it and waved a hand nonchalantly. "Details, details. Lord Ilpallazo, Lord Naraku, same guy. Well. . .Except Lord Naraku needs to get started on making Across. . .and dye his hair. . .and get spectacles. . .and. . .yeah. . ." she said, sweatdropping. She grinned. "Oh well! I'm going on his mission, so he best be happy!" she said cheerfully.
"Naraku!" Miroku, Inuyasha, and Shippou gasped. Inuyasha glared at the white baboon.
"Damn you, Naraku! Taking one of our friends and turning her against us?!" he yelled.
"Inuyasha, that's probably just a puppet!" Miroku said.
"Yeah. . .you're right. . ." Inuyasha said.
Kisike sweatdropped. "Actually. . .that's a pinecone."
". . .That is not a pinecone." Inuyasha said.
"Pinecones aren't used in demon puppetry." Miroku said.
"Until now. . . Lord Il-I mean, Naraku-ran out of dolls." Kisike said.
". . .He what?" Inuyasha asked.
"He ran out of dolls. . ." Kisike repeated, shrugging and looking over at the Naraku. . .er. . .pinecone. She then pointed her sword at Inuyasha. "Now, you shall die! Or at least fight me, find out that I'm much more powerful than you, and then die!"
Inuyasha looked at the tip of the sword that was an inch from his face. "Look, I don't want to fight you, but if I have to then at least wait until sunrise when I actually stand a chance!" Kisike began to laugh again.
"Are you insane? That would only take up more of my time. I'm killing you now, and that's that!" Suddenly, Kisike's left hand shot out to the side, and the bottle of Shikon shards slipped out of Inuyasha's shirt. Attached was a thin, golden strand. Kisike smirked, jerking the bottle up into her hand, then backed up a few feet, still holding out the sword to Inuyasha, and then darted back into the woods, disappearing from sight almost instantly.
Inuyasha blinked, standing quickly and running after her. "GET BACK HERE!!" He yelled, running as fast as he could. . .which wasn't very fast in his human form, not compared to a cat demon. Kisike's laughter rang throughout the trees around him.
Back at the camp, Miroku, Raylin, Shippou, Kouten, and Amanda yelled after Inuyasha, but no one moved. They could see hundreds of pairs of red glowing eyes staring at them from behind the trees.
"I hope he'll be okay.." Amanda murmured as Miroku, Raylin, Shippou and Kouten circles around her, getting ready to fend off whatever was closing in from all sides.
***
As Inuyasha ran blindly after Kisike, he began to realize that he'd forgotten Tetsusaiga back at the camp. He sighed heavily, turning and starting back. He looked over his shoulder to see if Kisike was still in sight. Kisike had froze, about twenty feet ahead of him and blinking.
Inuyasha stopped for a moment. 'No. . .I can't go. . .if I do, I'll lose her. Besides, Amanda won't let me come back. . .' he thought. He frowned. 'I'll just have to do without the Tetsusaiga.' He looked up at the sky. 'Sunrise should be in an hour. . .hopefully I can keep from dying until then.'
"Hey!" Kisike yelled. Inuyasha looked back down at her. "You are coming, right? Or are you just chickening out? Too scared now?" Kisike continued.
Inuyasha looked down at her. "I'm coming." He said.
". . .Hm. . ." was all that Kisike said as she paused for a few more moments, then began running again. She began tree hopping-jumping from branch to branch, stopping and looking back with a smirk every now and then to see if Inuyasha was still following.
'She's mocking me. . .she knows very well that she can defeat me when I'm like this. The only way I can think of beating her in this state is somehow outsmarting her, and even I know that I can't do strategy. . .' Inuyasha thought.
Kisike suddenly stopped on a high branch. Inuyasha thought she was going to turn around to see if he was still there but was wrong. Kisike stared down at the field as a chilly breeze brushed past her. She then jumped down into the field and stuck her sword into the ground where it stayed standing. ". . .You're slow." She commented.
Inuyasha glared. "I wouldn't be if I weren't in my human form." He said.
Kisike's smirk didn't falter as she closed her eyes. "You whine too much." She said.
Inuyasha growled. "Tell me one thing." He said. "Did you really die?"
"No. . ." Kisike said, opening her eyes and absent-mindedly twirling a single tendril of hair around her fingers. "No, I didn't. I woke up and ran. . .I was going to run back to you and the others, but then Naraku found me. I saw the truth then: You and the others betrayed me; you left me to die. You could have found another way. . .you could have. . ." she started, then stopped. "There was probably a way you could save both me and Amanda. But. . .I suppose now we'll never know." She looked up at him. "Will we?" She demanded. She suddenly ran at him, her claws ready to slice him in half.
Inuyasha's eyes widened and barely managed to jump out of the way as Kisike's claws breezed past his face. He whirled around as Kisike came to a stop behind him.
"I suppose you're faster than I thought. . .at least, you are when it's to save your own life." Kisike said observantly. "But, that's the way all humans are, I guess. . ." she sighed.
Inuyasha glared at her. "You just got power from Naraku. Don't think this makes you any better or any different. You're still half human here and you're still human in your own dimension. It's foolish to forget that!" He said as he ran towards her with a punch.
Kisike smirked and easily caught his punch. Inuyasha's eyes widened as she tightened her grip on his fist. He felt a sharp pain as he began to hear a small but noticeable crack in his fist. "Perhaps. But so what? As long as I have the power to defeat you then I know that I'm at least more superior!" Kisike replied.
Inuyasha grit his teeth. "One problem. . ." he growled.
Kisike blinked. "Hm?"
"I have TWO fists." Inuyasha exclaimed, swinging a left punch to the side of her head.
"Ahh!" Kisike cried, knocking Inuyasha's fist to the side.
Inuyasha scoured his mind for any kind of idea to get out of this mess. 'Damn it,' he thought, 'I put everything I had into that punch. . .'
"Hey. . .you almost got me that time. . ." Kisike said in an almost- whining voice.
". . .That's the whole point. . ." Inuyasha said, -.-'ing.
"Well that's not very nice. . ." Kisike said. Inuyasha looked around.
'I need to knock her unconscious somehow. . .I'm not going to kill her. . .but how. . .?' he wondered. His eyes rested on the sword still sticking out of the ground. 'Maybe if I hit her with the blunt side. . .but is it too risky?'
"You know, I was really hoping you'd be a lot stronger than this. . .but oh well. . ." Kisike said. She kicked Inuyasha in the stomach and took a step back. Inuyasha grimaced as he clutched his stomach. "Well, I suppose you are a little bit tougher. . .but that's only because you're so stubborn." Kisike continued.
'I really don't think I have a choice. . .' he thought. 'Because it's not like I can seem to touch her with fists or feet. . .' He took off into a run.
"Running away? But the torture's just begun!" Kisike said.
"Not away." Inuyasha said. He grabbed the hilt of the sword and yanked it out of the ground. "Just getting some defense!"
Kisike stared at him, blinking, then closed her eyes once again and smirked. "Fine, but it won't do you any good."
"We'll see about that!" Inuyasha yelled, running towards her and flipping the blade over to the blunt side. Kisike merely held out her hand as her energy sword appeared. 'Crap! I forgot about her energy sword. . .' Inuyasha thought, too close to back away now.
Kisike opened her eyes and sliced the sword to pieces. Bad move.
Considering that the sword had come from Naraku's castle, it was some kind of evil sword thingy. And that it was. The sword suddenly exploded, throwing Kisike and Inuyasha across the field. Kisike hit the ground and rolled. Inuyasha. . .hit the ground. Period.
***
Amanda looked around. "You guys. . .someone has to go find Inuyasha and Kisike." She said. She glared. "And if none of you guys don't, it's gonna be me."
"Please, Lady Amanda, it's not that simple at the moment. . ." Miroku said, looking around at all the glowing eyes surrounding them, staff at the ready.
Amanda stood up weakly. "I don't care. . ." she said.
"Amanda, please sit back down. You're too weak to stand up at the moment." Shippou said.
"No." Amanda said stubbornly. "Somebody go. . .stop Kisike from killing Inuyasha. She's got an unfair advantage, and Inuyasha and I are going to be human for at least another hour." She said.
"True. . ." Raylin agreed, nodding.
Kouten sighed. "Where's Gabriel when you need him. . .?" she said. "He was able to stop Kisike from being all evil and stuff last time it happened. . ."
"Well, he's not here right now, so we're going to have to do something about it." Raylin said.
"Still. . ." Kouten sighed.
Raylin nodded. "Any ideas. . .?"
Author's note- *answering machine comes on*
Bridget: He's still not off the Playstation.
Raylin: I know that. And we didn't get any ideas of how to get him off in the reviews. I still say we go with my idea.
Amanda: . . .Yeah. . .you do that. . . In the meantime, we'll try to think of SAFE ways to get him off. . .
Raylin: . . .It's better than nothing.
Amanda: Duct taping him to the diving board?
Raylin: We duct taped him to a tree!
Amanda: . . .Good point. . .well, if we get no more ideas from the reviews to this chapter, we'll go with your idea.
Raylin: Good.
Bridget: Anyways, review at the sound of the beep! Bye!
