Chapter 17-The Next Step
Inuyasha swung the Tetsusaiga at the aura. When it hit, there was a powerful light. Inuyasha had hit the aura, but for some reason, he had vanished.
Everyone looked around. Inuyasha wasn't in there anymore. Suddenly, there was laughter from outside. Then a voice.
"Inuyasha, are you stupid enough to even TRY to get out? You and I both know I can overpower you!" Pikin laughed, then threw poor Inuyasha back, through the aura, into the ball.
Kouga and miroku started laughing, while Sesshomaru was looking around, for a week spot in the ball.
"Don't even waste your time." Inuyasha said flatly. Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha with a slight disguised.
"And you have any BETTER plans?" Sesshomaru quietly said. Then, he winced a little when Inuyasha started laughing.
"YOU think YOU can get out? I mean COME ON! I am SURE Pikin can over power YOU to!" Inuyasha sat down and tried to stop laughing, which eventually turned into little giggles.
Rin looked at Inuyasha, her large eyes sparkling.
"Lord Sesshomaru is MUCH more powerful than YOU! He could over power Pikin EASY enough!" Rin glared at Inuyasha, who just stared at the little girl. She was about to say something else, when Sesshomaru, mainly out of embarrassment, covered her mouth.
"That's enough Rin." He took his hand off, and Rin quickly said, "Oh! Sorry Lord Sesshomaru!" She quickly went behind him, and sat down.
Inuyasha looked up at his half brother. 'WOULD he be able to over power Pikin?' He thought a moment, and shook his head. 'I wouldn't count on it. Sesshomaru MAY be very powerful, but I think Pikin may be a little stronger.'
"SO...." Miroku interrupted Inuyasha's thoughts, making him jump a little. "What should we do now? I don't think Inuyasha can do much anymore......" Kouga snickered, "And MAYBE...." he slowly looked at the powerful Inu Youkai, "You, Sesshomaru can give it a go?"
Inuyasha noticed the slight tremor in Miroku's voice. He slowly got up, dusted himself off, and walked casually over to Miroku. He then turned towards his half brother.
There was a moment of silence, then, "WELL?"
Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha, "hate" written all over his face.
"I will give it a try. But I cannot promise YOU anything." He walked towards the aura. Inuyasha murmured some nasty things, a little to loudly, and stormed off to the other side of the ball.
Rin looked at Inuyasha with amusement. Then she turned her attention to Sesshomaru. 'Wow, I guess I AM lucky to be able to travel with Sesshomaru!' Rin thought.
Kouga and Miroku had started a conversation. Inuyasha looked at them. 'Talking like old friends. God. What big mouths.' Inuyasha looked at Rin, who was staring at him.
"What do YOU want, runt?" Inuyasha glared at Rin, who quickly looked away. 'Strange kid. I don't even know WHY Sesshomaru go around with her....I never even thought he would want to go around with Jakken. Shesh, weird world.' His thoughts suddenly turned over to Kagome and Sango. 'I wonder what those to are doing, anyways.....I wonder if they're back yet, and wondering where we ARE.....baka, I don't even KNOW where we are.'
"Thinking about Kagome?" Miroku's voice made Inuyasha jump again. he looked at Miroku, with narrowed eyes.
"What are you getting at?"
"Oh, nothing. Just curious."
Inuyasha raised an eye brow, and looked behind Miroku. Kouga was watching Sesshomaru, with slight interest. "Get done talking with your little wolf buddy now did you?"
Miroku looked a little hurt, then said, "Yes, and our conversation was quite pleasant."
Inuyasha made a fist, and Miroku saw it. He started to run, but Inuyasha was too fast. He grabbed Miroku's robes. Miroku was struggling to get free, by twisting and turning in all sorts of directions.
After about a minute of trying to get a good hold on the monk, Inuyasha managed a good lump, right on top of Miroku's head. By then, everyone in the ball had noticed the little fight. Miroku got up and dusted himself, and noticed that every one was staring at Inuyasha and him.
Inuyasha blushed a little. "Uhhh.....we where just, well...."
Miroku then quickly said, "Inuyasha wanted to get back at me for something, so he did." It seemed everyone had either acknowledged what miroku said, or just lost interest, but they all went back to doing what they where doing.
Miroku and Inuyasha looked at each other. Miroku had a smug look, and Inuyasha just looked bedazzled.
"Wha-"Inuyasha began, and was stopped by Miroku's staff slamming down on his head.
"HEY!" Inuyasha had a large, round bump on his head. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR??"
Miroku just looked down at Inuyasha, and said, "Payback." Inuyasha was about to say something rude, when there was a loud "crack"
Everyone looked at Sesshomaru, who was standing at where the aura use to be. Rin ran over to him, and much to his dislike, hugged his waist. "Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin squealed in delight, "You broke the aura! let's go!" She started to walk towards the entrance, but Sesshomaru stopped her. "Let me check and see if Pikin is close. Wait here." he started to walk forward, but was pushed aside by Kouga.
"Kouga! You stupid idiot! Ya go out there and you'll be killed!" Inuyasha said, with hate in his voice. he stopped, and thought a moment. Then said, "No wait, go on, go see if Pikin is out there." Inuyasha smirked. Miroku hit him over the head with his staff again. This blow made Inuyasha hit the floor.
"MIROKU!" Inuyasha clenched his fists and got up. "I SWEAR I'll KILL you for that!"
Miroku shrugged. the two of them looked over to where Sesshomaru and Kouga where.
"What the?!" Miroku began.
"They're gone!" Inuyasha ran over to the edge, and looked around. They had stopped moving, and Sesshomaru was slowly soaring away, with Rin sticking her tongue out at Pikin. Kouga had ran away already.
Inuyasha looked at Pikin, who was cursing and clenching and un-clenching his fists. Inuyasha walked over to Miroku, who looked baffled.
"Well," Inuyasha began, "Sesshomaru and Kouga have left, Pikin is swearing his head off, and we're still here. Now what?"
Miroku looked at Inuyasha with a little amusement in his voice. "Well, we can run away, or we can get out of here, and kill Pikin.
Inuyasha smirked. "Well, the second choice sound better to me."
Miroku and Inuyasha walked over to the entrance. Inuyasha looked out, and saw Kagome, Sango, Kaede, Shippo, Kirara, and a few other villagers.
