Inuyasha the Windwaker
Sorry everyone for taking so long to update!! You know, I say that almost every time…I really need to get better at updating…well, at least I'm updating now, right? Yeah. I've been playing the game and writing down everything people say, which takes a very long time and is just annoying. So I've been procrastinating on playing the game because I don't want to have to write stuff lol. But right now I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead in the copying stuff, so I decided to finally write the chapter…hehe.
Inuyasha walked around a little, exploring the ship. He could see that the pirates didn't enjoy his company one bit. He found some stairs, and decided to go down there. He saw a small boy with broken glasses. The boy saw him, and walked towards him He began talking to him, much to Inuyasha's surprise.
"Oh! Well now! Ahoy there, swabbie! As of today…EH-HEH-AHEM! I am your superior…Niko! Now, I promise I'll go easy on you, so do as I say, ok? Right! No, first off you have to take the test all new pirates have to take. It's a bit of a doozy, so get ready! You watch everything I'm about to show you real careful-like so you can cram I into your no-doubt mushy swabbie brain!"
Inuyasha felt anger well up inside of him, but for once kept his temper to himself and watched Niko. What he had to do was swing on ropes, swing from platform to platform using ropes until he got to a door, which would close after a certain amount of time. He'd have to be speedy to complete the task, but he was confident in himself…as always.
Inu-yasha jumped and grabbed onto the first rope easily, being able to jump as well as he could. He swung until he landed on the next platform. He did this a couple more times until he just had one more rope to swing on to get to the door. He could hear the 'tick tock' of the timer as the time ran out. He'd only have a couple seconds left to get to the door. He swung off the platform just as the platforms lowered, and he barely made it to the door.
As he stepped inside, he saw that Niko was extremely surprised to see that he'd made it through the test. Inuyasha walked up to the treasure chest and opened it, his hard beating hard. It contained something called a Spoils Bag. Niko explained to him that the bag would hold things he collected from his enemies on his journey. Then Inuyasha suddenly heard Kagome's voice thundering through the ship.
"Hey! Inuyasha! We've reached Forsaken Fortress! Hurry up and get up here!" Doing as Kagome said, Inuyasha made his way back up the steps to the main part of the ship and looked for Kagome.
"Hey! Inuyasha! Here I am! Up here!" Inuyasha looked around, and saw that Kagome was on top of the mast. He climbed up the tall ladder and greeted her.
"What were you doing with Niko? Don't tell me you were playing some stupid game for treasure…were you? Well, whatever! There's something you need to see! Have a look over there…That's the cursed island known as Forsaken Fortress. There are all sorts of strange rumors about this place. What I do know is that long ago, it used to be the hideout of a no-good group of pirates we used to compete with…but they were just small-time. No, the place looks pretty dangerous. Ah! I knew it! Look! Over there! By that window!"
Inuyasha looked at the window she was pointing at, and saw that there was a flock of seagulls flying around it.
"Have you ever seen so many seagulls flock like that before?" Kagome asked, not waiting for an answer.
"I'll bet you anything that's the place where they've got your sister locked up…But it looks like the whole place is under really tight guard. This won't work…we'd be spotted before we got anywhere near landing there. Hmmm…What do we do now?" Kagome thought for a minute, then winked mysteriously at Inuyasha. She then yelled "Sit!" and Inuyasha slammed to the ground. Kagome used this moment to stuff him in a barrel, and Inuyasha wiggled around hysterically.
"Look, don't struggle. If you really want to get into a dangerous place like that, this is the only way to do it. Trust me. We pirates do this all the time,. Don't worr about it! It'll be a piece of cake!"
Another pirate nearby asked, "Is everybody ready? Never you fear, kid. WE're pros. We're going to launch you good!"
"3."
"2."
"1."
The pirates launched Inuyasha, who screamed the entire way. He hit the forsaken right next to the window, and dropped his sword there. Then he slid off the fortress wall and fell for a while, until he landed in the water by the fortress. Suddenly, he heard Kagome's voice talking in his head.
"Your sword landed all the way up there? Shoot! I apologize! I guess my aim was off by a little bit. Heh heh… The look on your face…Priceless! Heh heh…I slipped this stone into your pocket just before we fired you over there. It's no ordinary stone, either. I can see what you're doing through this stone, and you obviously you can hear me through it." Kagome then explained that how she would tell him hints through the stone if he was stuck. Link then started his journey in the fortress.
Link slowly made his way through the fortress. There were many enemies there, including strange imp like creatures and rats, and pig like monsters which would through him in jail if they saw him. Sometimes to get around these creatures he would have to hide under a barrel, and slowly walk past them. He defeated certain creatures to turn off the searchlights probing the fortress, and this made him climb easier.
Finally Inuyasha reached the top of the fortress, where he saw his sword glinting in the sun. He ran and grabbed his sword, but an enemy spotted him after he grabbed it. Inuyasha killed the demon, using his recovered sword, and entered the giant door leading to where his sister was being held hostage. He saw his sister Kikyo, along with a few other girls, trapped in a jail. Then, the giant bird from before flew in. Inuyasha drew his the testusaiga, but he never had a chance against it. The bird picked him up in its claws, then carried him off to a window. Through the window Inuyasha saw the shadow of a tall man, and then the bird tossed him away, and Inuyasha plummeted to his doom.
Inuyasha awoke to a strange voice calling his name.
"Inuyasha…Inuyasha…wake up Inuyasha! Pull yourself together, Inuyasha! Well, have you come to your sensed yet? You are surprisingly dull-witted…" Inuyasha turns towards the voice and finds that it is actually coming from a strange red boat with a … flea's head? He fell back, startled.
"Ha ha ha! Did I startle you? I suppose that is only natural. As wide as the world is, I am the only boat upon it who can speak the words of men. I am the Myoga, the King of Red Fleas.Do not fear…I am not your enemy. Inuyasha…I have been watching you since you went to the Forsaken Fortress to rescue your sister. I understand how your disire to protect your sister could give the courage to fearlessly stand up to anything…but such a bold attempt was foolhardy! I suppose you saw him…the shadow that commands that monstrous bird…his name is…Naraku.
"He who obtained the power of the Gods, attempted to cover the land in darkness, and was ultimately sealed away by the very power he hoped to command. He is th e very same Naraku…the emporer of the dark realm the ancient legends speak of…I do not know why the seal of the Gods had failed, but now that Naraku has returned, the world is once again being threatened by his evil magic. Tell me, Inuyasha…Do you wish to save your sister from him?" Inuyasha immediately nodded.
"And will you do anything to save her?" Inuyasha nodded once more.
"…I see. In that case, I shall guide you as we go forward…advising you on what you should do and where you much go. Naraku cannot be defeated by human hands, let alone by what little strength you possess. The key to defeating Naraku is locked away in a great power that you can wield only after much toil and hardship. Do you understand?" Inuyasha nodded again.
"In that case, we depart! To the Great Sea! …Ah, but I'm getting ahead of myself. This is actually a bit embarrassing for me to admit, but…although I am indeed a boat that possesses the hpower of speech…I possess no sail. And a boat with no sail can sail no seas. I have brought you far to the east of the dark gaze of the Forsaken Fortress. On this island is a town of merchants who deal in a wide variety of goods. If you search hard enough, surely you can find one who will sell you a sail. I am sorry to ask this of you, but without a sail, I will be useless to you. This island of merchants is home to many valuable goods. While the sail must come first, do not feel limited to buying only it. Once you have it, feel free to stock up on anything else you think you may need, but remember: there is no time to play. Come back here immediately as soon as your errands are done."
Inuyasha nodded, jumped out of the boat and swam towards the shore.
