(I don't claim characters of Inuyasha)
Chapter 14 : "The Darkness"
Opening his eyes slowly, Inuyasha wondered whether he'd awaken into another dream, for all around him there was nothing to be see but the complete darkness one can only within their imagination. Standing slowly, he glanced around himself, searching for anything that would prove whether his new found surroundings were real or not.
But then he heard it, a soft click behind him, stone against…steel? Yes! For there it was a second time, only louder…closer. Letting it make its way a few step more, Inuyasha then let out a low growl, turning quickly, as his back had been turned towards the thing, and leaping into the air to charge it, he yelled in fury, his voice vibrating as the hit the walls he knew were around him and flew back into his ears.
Crying out in mingled surprise and shock he flew back down the floor, landing in a fetal position as he covered his ears in the slight agony those damned walls were causing him. "This is…definitely not a dream," He muttered under his breath, for the pain was very real.
Behind him once more stood the enemy and though he knew he should be trying to move out of the way he could not, for the voices he had brought forth only seemed to grow louder. What the hell is going on, his mind screamed, And where are the others!? For realization spilt over him that when he'd awaken, the ones he'd fell asleep with earlier were no longer there, their presence undetectable.
He acted then; again he stood and raised his fast, swinging behind himself. "Where are they," He snarled, expecting to land the blow flawlessly. But instead it was caught in the grasp of another and suddenly the lights flared on around him, searing and painful to his untrained eyes and flying backwards once more, he returned to the fetal position of comfort, shielding his sight from such a sudden change in surrounding. "Damn you," He whispered, his eyes slowly adjusting. Why wasn't the other attacking?!
When he finally became used to the light after what seemed ages, Inuyasha turned around carefully once more to gaze upon his component but when he did, the only thing standing there was the Tetsuiga. What's going on…? He thought again, for this whole ordeal was turning out to be very odd. Grinning, he stood and grabbed the sword by its handle, pulling it from the ground on which it had been stabbed into. Had Naraku changed his tactics?
Looking up to glance around himself, he spotted a tunnel to one side of the room. It seemed to almost call him as he stared more and more. It could be a trap, One side of his brain cried, almost seemingly begging him not to go. It could lead to Kagome… The other side argued, silencing all argument as he took a deep breath and started in that direction.

The one who had observed the action concerning Inuyasha and his little opponent, watched from a window high above, a small smirk of contentment plastered to his lips. It was only when he saw Inuyasha disappear down the hall and heard the opponent enter the small observation room that it disappeared and he turned to face the one who'd fought with the hanyou below. "Nice going, kid."
Shrugging, the other just fell into a seat on the opposite side of the room, his cloak still pulled securely over his features as he were hiding from something. Grinning, the other strode closer almost in a liquid fashion and kneeled in front of the teenage seeming youth. "This will work, you will see." "How is letting him make his way right to her ever possibly going to work," The other snapped back, his agitation rising to the surface for all to see.
Letting out a soft chuckle, his companion stood, placing his hands on his hips and stared down out him. "Your father's attitude is mirrored by yourself…Trust me, my plan is uncanny. Your father is to look for her and then..." He let it hang a moment before he turned and ran a finger in the sign of death across his neck. "You have nothing to fear my boy."
Raising his head, the one who sat let the hood fall from his head to rest on his shoulders, allowing the youth to stare back with fire lit within his deep violet eyes. "I am not your boy."
Standing, he turned to leave but as he pulled open the door, the other called from behind him, causing him to pause, "You'll finish your end, right?" Nodding, the violet eyes youth left silently, as if a ghost passing through the world on a pleasure cruise. Nodding once in satisfaction, the remaining presence in the room turned back toward the observation window. What a glorious day this was turning out to be!

Alright! I got a new chapter up! FINALLY, right? I"M SO SORRY I haven't been updating in awhile, just been so busy with school and stuff I never get the chance to write (
