And shall I start this chapter as well? Yes, yes I shall!
---Chapter 10: Getting There---
The group had been making good time, and were overjoyed with that idea. Inuyasha walked just behind Miroku, Shippo on his(Inuyasha's) shoulder, yapping about how nice the beach is.
"Yea I get the idea" Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Shippo still continued though.
Sango, trailing just behind Inuyasha, laughed and noticed some large rocks up ahead. When I say large, I mean HUGE. Some were the size of houses.
Shippo leaped off Inuyasha's shoulder, "THERE THEY ARE!"
"There what are?"
"You wanted to find Midohiko's caves, right?"
"Midoriko"
"Same thing!"
"Wait...these are really them?"
"Well duh! I just said that stupid!"
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and walked past the little runt. He made it to the caves and noticed a woman guarding the entrance. She had long raven hair, tied back loosely. She wore a miko's outfit, red bottom, and white top.
The woman had already spotted them, as if expecting them. Sango and Miroku caught up to Inuyasha, Sango holding Shippo in her arms. Inu-tachi stopped in front of the woman.
"You aren't allowed. Leave now"
Inuyasha laughed, "Look lady, I've come too far to get turned back now. Move it!"
The woman now laughed, a cool, hard-hearted laugh, "I do not care how far you came. You shall not intrude on these sacred grounds."
Miroku stepped forward, "I apologize for my friend's rudeness. He is in a hurry and does not know you are obviously the guardian of this place. We have good reason for coming here I assure you"
Sango twitched. He was doing it again. Being too nice to a pretty woman. She tried not to show her anger though. The woman crossed her arms, "And what reason is that?"
Miroku smiled maintaining seriousness in his voice, "We have come for the Sacred Shikon Jewel. It will help us with a friend"
Unaffected, the woman rolled her eyes, "You sound like every other person coming here for the jewel. I am not so foolish. I do not believe you sob story"
Inuyasha pushed past Miroku, "LOOK! I need that stupid thing or Kagome's gonna die. Now let me go get it!"
"Who are you?"
"Inuyasha, why?"
"No reason. And why is this Kagome so important?"
"Why do you care?!"
"Do you want the jewel or not?"
"Feh. Because...because..."
"Because you love her?"
"I-I didn't say that, ok?!"
"So be it. But since I understand...I suppose I can give you a chance. I am Kikyo, protector of the jewel. And seeing your care for this 'Kagome' of yours, I shall allow you a chance to have the jewel. But be forwarned, it won't be easy. And only one may enter"
Sango smiled, "Well Inuyasha, go get that Shikon no Tama!"
Inuyasha nodded slightly and followed Kikyo into the cave. The others waited quietly outside, hoping the best. Inuyasha looked around and noticed only crystals and mirror-like things on the walls of the cave. It was a perfect sight. If his mind wasn't so deep in thought, he would've enjoyed it.
Kikyo stopped in one room, "Ok. For your first little test, you must find your way out of the maze in the next room. I will be waiting on the other side. I know you think this a pointless test, but its not a simple maze, mind you. It will show your detemination. See you on the other side...if you get there"
"I'll be there"
--------------------------------------------------------
Yay! They made it to the caves! JOY JOY! But now to get past the tests...poor Inuyasha. Can he do it?
And for once, Kikyo's not evil! YAY FOR KIKYO FANS! Though I'm not a Kikyo fan...that's ok cause I didn't see a need to make her evil or hated in this fanfic. Sorry Kagome Lovers. Not the point though...
Please review!
