Alright...lets see how far Inuyasha can go
---Chapter 11: Ill-fated Memories---
Inuyasha stepped into the next room and turned around. The entrance was enclosed with a glass-like mirror. He tapped it, "No turning back now"
He sniffed the air, "What does that Kikyo take me for? All I gotta do is sniff her out and I'll find the exit no problem!"
He walked forward and began turning corners, head in the air, sniffing. He found that this shouldn't be so hard afterall.
Afterall, he's half demon, whatever traps and tricks this maze has, shouldn't phase him.

"Do you two actually think he can make it?" Shippo spoke while staring into the depths of the cave entrance.
Sango smiled, "He can do anything when he's doing it for Kagome"
"Really?"
Miroku and Sango both nodded and sat down, almost positive Inuyasha would succeed in getting the jewel (how sweet lol)
--------------
"Hey Ayame!"
"Yea Koga?"
"I've got some bad news"
"Oh no..."
"Yea...The doctors say Kagome's not gonna last much longer"
"But she has to!"
"Yea well..."
"...That's gonna kill Inuyasha"
--------------
Inuyasha continued sniffing the air, jumping the occasional hole, dodging the every so nifty swinging blades of steel, and catching most of the arrows shot at him.
"They make it too easy...what the-"
Inuyasha noticed the walls were beginning to show images of different things. He recognized them. His eyes widened, they were all his worst moments of childhood and...life. Some of his mother dying, some of his father dying. Inuyasha cringed and ran forward, but the more he ran, the worse they got. "How does this cave know my stinking nightmares?!"
He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw more of his worst nightmares. He shook his head, "WHAT THE HELL!!!"
"Is it really worth all this, Inuyasha?"
"Who the hell are you?!"
"Answer me"
"Of course it's-"
"Are you sure? You can leave now, and not have to suffer any more."
"Who are you!"
"That doesn't matter. If you go on, you'll only find more pain and suffering. Are you willing to pay that price for a girl?"
"OF COURSE I AM!"
The images faded away, leaving only his reflection once more. He blinked and looked around, the walls were disappearing. He looked forward and saw the exit. He shook it off and ran through. There, like she had said, Kikyo stood. She smiled, "I see you made it"
"Yea, I did! I told you I would and I did"
"Very well. You only one more test. Follow me"
Inuyasha turned around to take one last look at the maze, but like at the entrance, there was a glassy wall in his view. He shrugged and followed Kikyo further into the caves of Midoriko.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, he made it. That's always good to know! Oh and that voice, wasn't anyone imparticalular, if that's what's bugging you right now. Nah, it was just something to show Inuyasha's true determination to get the jewel. So yea, don't worry about the voice. It wasn't really anyone. More like a voice in his own head.
