The Legend of Kintaru

Ch.2 Up the Mountain

The next morning went smoothly for our heroes, and they were soon traveling up the mountain once more. (AN: I'm too lazy to write everything they did.) That afternoon, Kagome came to a sudden halt.

"Are you alright, Kagome-chan?" inquired a concerned Sango.

"Jewel shards, three of them." Kagome answered, "But... there's something else."

"A powerful, dark aura surrounds this mountain's peak." Miroku stated. The rings on his staff were rustled by a gust of wind.

Kagome gasped, before asking, in a fearful tone, "Where did that strong wind come from?"

"I don't know." The houshi answered.

This sounds of Inuyasha's nose soon filled the air. Another strong gust of wind stung the group's faces.

"What is it, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked the hanyou, "Do you smell something?" She was beginning to get worried.

Inuyasha growled and turned his head in the girl's direction, "A youkai is causing that wind, I can smell it. Let's go."

The group made their way toward the top of the mountain, feeling as though rocks were sitting within their stomachs. (AN: In other words, they felt uneasy, k?) They knew this would be a difficult battle to win.

'What is that strange aura? I don't trust, we best be on our guard... it's so powerful.' Miroku thought.

'AAAHHHH!!! What was that? I-it was just a mouse. Come on girl pull yourself together. Inuyasha will take care of the demon, and then we'll leave. There's absolutely nothing to worry about.' (AN: bet you can't figure out who that was... ok, so it's kind of obvious... I'll shut up now.) Kagome was, obviously, scarred... hell, who am I kidding, the aura surrounding this place terrified the girl.

The others had similar thoughts. (AN: Two reasons I'm not elaborating, A- I'm too lazy, and B- I'm trying to focus on how I should write the battle. It's not as easy as it looks, believe me.) Our heroes soon reached the mountain's peak.

Everyone was shocked by what they saw.

RuneSpirit: I am so sorry it took me 6 days to update and all you got was this short piece of crap. I've never written a fanfiction before in my entire life. Plus, I have absolutely no idea how to write a battle scene. I know what I want to happen, I just don't know how to put the pen to the paper and not fuck it up worse than I already have. Also, you should know that there is no point to this fic, I just wrote it so I could post something.

Meanwhile

Zander: There's got to be a way out of this box!!!

There isn't

Meanwhile

RuneSpirit: Anyway, it would mean a lot to me if more than 1 other author or authoress reviewed this chapter. So, please, even if it only says 'great! Update soon', review. Thanks again to Sweetlilbee. Oh, and by the way, I'm gonna let Zander out next chapter. This one didn't go too well, so I'm bringing back my beloved (yeah right! He's only ok) muse. See you soon, please review!!
