Chapter 14: Horror Stories
"What was that?" Ayumi whispered, they distinctly heard a shuffling behind them. Kagome was on high alert and her two years of battle practice had given her the edge she needed. She twisted around and readied her bow and arrow. She couldn't see anyone but that didn't mean there was no one there.
"Let's just stay close." Kagome told the group. Jonouchi and Honda were unusually quiet.
"Let's just go..." Seto started, but was stopped by looks from the rest of the gang. Since they were in, they had no intention of backing out. Kagome was more than up for some trills after her week of more or less normalcy.
Then it struck her, the small tingling sensation on the back of her neck. There was a jewel shard nearby. Kagome realized the real danger they had gotten themselves into. Where there's a jewel shard, there's a demon. And she was in a house that probably had a demon in it with seven ordinary humans. Not a good idea.
"Uh...guys," Kagome stopped all of them, "I don't think this is such a good idea. I think we should go home and call it a night. We could watch horror movies if you want." She tried to persuade them to leave.
"Nope, not happening. You could come to us for reassurance if you're scared." Jonouchi said but he said it without his usual enthusiasm, "Hey who's that?"
Kagome turned to see who he was referring to and she was a small girl about Souta's age standing at the end of the hall. She saw them and ran into one of the rooms in the hall, giggling.
"What the hell...?" Honda muttered before he ran after the girl. What was a kid doing in a place like this in the middle of the night?
"Honda no...Guys wait here." Kagome ran after Honda. How could he be so stupid? This is demons we're talking about; you don't just run after a girl who appears out of nowhere.
When she ran into the room that Honda had disappeared into, she couldn't find him. She looked everywhere and called out his name but she couldn't find him. Panicking, she ran out into the hall to tell the others, she couldn't find them either.
All of a sudden, she was alone. What had happened to her friends? Scared out of her mind she ran into every room in that corridor looking for her companions. She stopped when she heard someone crying. She followed the sound, making sure to stay quiet. She came upon a room with the door slightly ajar. It opened with a creak to reveal a boy sitting on the ground with his right hand held out in front of him. Tears were streaming down his face and it pained Kagome to look at him. He didn't look any older than seven or eight.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked softly, the kid looked up at her when he heard her voice. His eyes were red and puffy. He looked around once and Kagome noticed that he was wearing traditional monk robes. They were small to fit him but they were the robes nonetheless.
"Daddy is dead." Kagome moved to the centre of the room and the kid ran to the corner and hugged himself.
"Go away, or I'll kill you too." Kagome stopped dead in her tracks. How could a kid his size kill her?
Kagome started to move forward again but froze as he removed prayer beads from his fisted right hand, holding it threateningly in front of his face.
Miroku?
"Miroku? Is that you?" She questioned. The kid looked surprised and then rewrapped the prayer beads onto his right hand. He started to disappear as Kagome ran over to his corner. Just before she reached him though, he had vanished completely.
"This is really freaky." Kagome said out loud trying to dispel the heavy silence that had settled onto the room. She was alone in this huge place and had no idea where her friends had gone off. She hoped with all her heart that they were okay.
She decided that the jewel shard is responsible for the haunting or whatever. If she purifies the jewel shard, then they would all be safe.
She ran in the direction of the shard's aura and she reached a huge gate with bars on it. It swung open with a creak when she pushed on it to reveal a dark winding stone staircase going down. Kagome gulped loudly and then began her decent.
The staircase went on forever and eventually it got so dark that her flashlight seemed to be useless. The light from the small bulb seemed to get absorbed the darkness of the dungeons. Eventually she reached the lowest level and she coughed out the stale murky air. Her only sign that she was in the right place was the faint glow at the other end of the long hall.
Her footsteps echoed loudly in the deserted corridor and Kagome took another huge gulp of stale air trying to calm herself down. She screamed when something warm and sticky landed on her face. She clawed at it with her hand and pulled it off only to realize that it was just a cobweb. Spiders...yuck.
She reached the door that seemed to hum in the silence. Kagome's short shallow breaths and the door's steady hum were the only sounds in the whole dungeon at that moment. Kagome tried to pry the embedded shard off the door when someone screamed, "No, don't."
Kagome swung around at the familiarity of the voice. It was Inuyasha's.
She took her flashlight and shone it at the person standing in front of her. She gasped and the flashlight dropped from her hands and landed on the hard stone floor with a loud clang.
The Inuyasha standing in front of her was not the silver haired demon she was in love with. His fire-rat robes had been destroyed and seemed to be rotting away at the edges exposing his bare chest and most of his arms. They clung on desperately to his body and looked like they would fall apart any minute. Inuyasha's skin was deathly pale and had blue bruises everywhere, his eyes screamed in silent agony and his hair was dark with matted blood. He looked starved; his ribs were sticking out and his hip bones were jutting out at strange angles. There was a long gash across his chest, which was bleeding heavily.
"You are scared of me." Kagome grabbed the flashlight with one hand while trying to keep an eye at Inuyasha.
"In...Inuyasha?" Inuyasha turned away from her and started disappearing, "No, don't go Inuyasha. INUYASHA!!!" Her flashlight slipped through her sweaty fingers as she ran towards the disappearing figure.
Suddenly, warm hands wrapped themselves around her and pulled her close to a warm and strong body.
"Shh...its okay Kagome. I'm here now." Someone breathed into her ear, soothing her, calming her.
She held onto the person with all her strength refusing to let go, afraid that he might disappear too. Abruptly, the person put one hand under her legs and lifted her bridal style and jumped up the stairs and took her out into the courtyard.
In the moonlight, she saw that it was Inuyasha. But not the one she had seen, this one was healthy. He was unhurt and was looking at her with curious golden eyes.
She grabbed him and buried her face into his warm chest, inhaling his strong scent. It felt so good to be with him again, he made her feel safe and protected.
"I'm taking you home." Inuyasha said gently before grabbing her tightly and jumped to get her out of there.
"No, my friends are in there." She grabbed his shirt tighter. She wanted nothing more than to go home, the image of battered Inuyasha still haunting her.
What did I see? What was wrong with him? Did I imagine it?
Inuyasha grunted his agreement but didn't loosen his hold on her. Instead he carried her into the castle following his nose to find the rest of the people.
They reached a large door. Inuyasha suddenly let go Kagome and told her stay outside. When she protested he told her that it could get dangerous.
She followed him anyway.
What she saw inside made her blood run cold. Jonouchi was sprawled on the floor, thankfully still in one piece, and the rest were standing in the corner shivering like crazy. In the middle of the room, right beside Jonouchi, stood Naraku in his baboon skin.
"Naraku!" Inuyasha screamed before unsheathing his sword and launching an attack.
"Inuyasha...imagine seeing you here." The baboon skin tore open, the bare skin of Naraku being exposed to the cold air. His lower half sprouted a number of giant tentacles and rushed towards a sword-wielding Inuyasha.
Inuyasha sliced two with one swing and proceeded to embed the transformed fang into the monster's chest. Little did he know that it was a trap and Inuyasha had been tricked. As soon as the sword met the slimy projections, purple vapours filled the room choking Inuyasha and putting Jonouchi's life in danger.
Inuyasha did a back flip and grabbed the unconscious boy with one hand and burst through the door knocking it off its hinges and destroying it fully.
"OUT! ALL OF YOU!" He yelled to the bystanders. They listened immediately and took Jonouchi from him before heading out. But curiosity got the better of them and they stayed outside watching the fight with interest.
Inuyasha grabbed Kagome to take her outside but she stopped him by a very weak 'sit' command. He overcame it fast enough but he didn't have time to argue with Kagome and so he let her fight. He was distracted through the whole thing though.
Naraku dodged a purifying arrow that Kagome shot at him, missing it narrowly. Several of his tentacles had been fried but he just regenerated them and continued the assault at the two fighters. With the rest of the people outside and Kagome beside him, Inuyasha used the Wind Scar and almost blew the whole castle down. Once the attack had been executed, Naraku's body disappeared leaving a small wooden doll in its place.
Inuyasha smirked and commented on how much easier it was getting to defeat Naraku's puppets every time. Kagome wasn't listening. There he was again.
He was standing hidden behind a pillar, but clearly visible to Kagome. His chest bleeding and his hair bloody. His eyes were not a bright golden that the normal Inuyasha had; instead they were yellow-brown colour filled with pain and anger but most of all sadness.
"Inuyasha..." She didn't know who she was addressing, they both looked at her when she muttered the name. However, the real one placed one hand on Kagome's shoulder as if questioning her while the other disappeared into the darkness.
----------------------------------------------------X----------------------- --------------------------------
Naraku watched the wooden puppet in front him get sliced into two. The spell was broken; Naraku had once again faced defeat.
So, Inuyasha had been there. He had protected the miko. He had foiled his plans once again.
Not only that, the miko had rendered the door useless. She had purified the door with one touch. The jewel had been absorbed by the door over time and hence existed in the door itself. It cannot be separated from it. However, the jewel shard in his time was tainted and the vortex was a product of black magic. No demon could cross the vortex without getting purified upon reaching the other side.
Now he had a vortex in his dungeon that he could not use. The jewel shard was not removable anymore. The witch had pushed it in but had failed to realize that it could not be removed after the ritual was complete.
Naraku hated failure and he had experienced a lot of that since Inuyasha and Kikyo's reincarnation had joined forces.
He also hated repeating his plans. He didn't like being predictable. But since everybody believed that he would never pull the same trick twice, if he did repeat his plans then he would be unpredictable. Interesting concept.
"Kanna, did you call the leader of the snake demons?"
"Yes." Kanna said nodding her head, "They will meet you in a few days."
"Why the delay?"
"They experienced some trouble with a demon, the leader is sorting it out at the moment."
"I see."
-----------------------------------------------------------X---------------- ------------------------------------
"You knew that you were trespassing on a crime scene. Didn't you?" An elderly man with grey thinning hair asked them sternly.
"Yes, sir and we are sorry. It won't happen again." Seto spoke for them. They were so dazed with what they had witnessed that they could just nod numbly and then return to sorting their thoughts out.
"I'm not letting you kids go that easily. I need to let your parents know. Get in the car." They started to get into two police cars in a single file. Inuyasha had managed to keep his baseball cap on through the whole fight and Kagome was impressed. He grabbed Kagome's hand and started to walk down the sidewalk.
"And where are you going son?" The elderly officer asked Inuyasha.
"I'm taking her home." He answered immediately.
"I'll do that, you have to come with us." Kagome looked at Inuyasha, worried. Why would the police officer want Inuyasha alone?
"I'm not leaving Kagome alone." He said without thinking.
"I said we'll take her home. We'll keep her safe."
"I'm not leaving Kagome alone."
The officer rubbed the bridge of his nose to calm down. This boy was difficult.
"Son, listen to me," He said exhausted after the whole night's events, "You have to come with us for questioning or we will have to arrest you."
Kagome decided that she had to persuade Inuyasha to go with them without her.
"Inuyasha listen," She started.
"No, I'm not leaving you alone Kagome, and nothing you say will make me do otherwise." He looked own at her with so much fierce determination that Kagome didn't know how to argue her case further.
Instead, she decided to persuade the officer.
"Sir please. Let me come with him, I won't say a thing and I won't be a distraction. Just let me come with him." The officer sighed, a good sign. "Fine, get into the third car."
"I will have to ask you to hand over your weapon to me." A young officer with dark hair and blue eyes asked Inuyasha.
"I'm not handing over anything." Inuyasha said defiantly, letting go of Kagome's hand to cross his arms over his chest.
"Inuyasha, please try to be cooperative." Kagome pleaded with him.
"What do you want me to do? I'm feeling very threatened here and without tetsusaiga I'm pretty sure I'll transform." He whispered to Kagome.
Uh oh.
"Uh, Officer?" The young officer regarded Kagome with weary eyes, "the sword is harmless. I assure you."
"Uh huh right. I will have you to ask you to hand over your weapon now or you will be considered a threat."
Inuyasha smirked as he cracked his knuckles, "You have no idea what being threatened feels like."
"Are you threatening me?"
Kagome screamed 'SIT' just as Inuyasha opened his mouth to answer back. The whole police force watched a red-clad teenager take a nosedive into the ground for no apparent reason.
"No sir, of course not."
Kagome grabbed the tetsusaiga and showed it to the people in front of her.
"See it's a rusted old sword, couldn't hurt a fly." She grinned sheepishly.
They got home just before the break of dawn. Inuyasha had created quite a ruckus at the police station. The reason they had called Inuyasha was because they had seen him holding a large sword threateningly in front of him and a group of very scared teenagers on the side. It had made him look suspicious, very suspicious indeed.
They had called up each of her friends to confirm that Inuyasha had not been threatening them whatsoever. They had let him go after two hours of intense questioning and a fight over his cap. They had asked him to remove his cap inside the office and he had refused to oblige plainly.
One of the police officers, Officer Blinkhorn or something, despised Inuyasha clearly. He had started interrogating him after a couple of officers had given up and had even grabbed his hair to force him to talk. Inuyasha had retaliated violently and sent the officer flying into the wall behind him.
He had almost been locked up for attacking an officer on duty but Kagome had blackmailed the officer into letting him go. He wasn't allowed to touch the witness unless there was evidence to be suspicious of him or her (I don't know what the law in Japan says [or any law for that matter] so I'm making this up...please bear with me) and hence Inuyasha would not have retaliated if he hadn't attacked him first. Inuyasha's name had been cleared after the phone calls to her friends but Kagome was pretty sure they had made an enemy that night.
Thankfully, there was no rational explanation for the damage to the mansion and it was not even suggested that Inuyasha had done it with his sword alone. Eventually, it was concluded that the building had collapsed by itself. It had been standing for a very long time; repairs or not it was still weak.
Kagome was still perplexed that the castle had survived the time difference. Maybe the jewel shard had something to do with it. But right now she was too tired to think about that.
Inuyasha had refused to sit in the car and had instead followed the car home by jumping through the trees and roofs lining the road.
I wanted to write the silly summary but decided that it wasn't that scary, so no silly summary...I'm feeling lazy. Maybe I'll put it in after a few days, who knows?
Don't forget to let me know if I make a mistake or make the plot too confusing. Time plots generally make my head spin...so I'm liable to leave something unexplained.
