Chapter II: Introductions & Lovestruck Barriers (Comm. Butler)

"Now where were we?" Kagome asked turning to the Teen Titans. Beast Boy still with a look of horror in his eyes said nothing but Starfire on the other hand was very forthcoming.

"We were just inquiring and meeting you! How very exciting! I have never seen a man with such cute little ears before!" Starfire squeaked and pulled gently on Inuyasha's ears.

"HEY! BACK IT OFF WILL YA!" Inuyasha snarled and Starfire shot away from him and hid behind Robin who looked at her and then at Inuyasha.

"Look uh, what did you say your name was?" Robin inquired.

"Inuyasha." Kagome filled in for Inuyasha's fuming silence.

"Right, anyway I think you really should consider an attitude adjustment." Inuyasha's whirled on Robin.

"LOOK HERE! TIGHTBOY!"

"INUYASHA!" Kagome shouted. Inuyasha chose to ignore her however.

"I don't need your scrawny little butt ordering me around and second of all your in my territory now so I suggest you go back to were you came from!" Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Inuyasha you had better cut it out! I think they are surprised enough at the appearance of that ogre and now you!"

"But Kagome…" Kagome shook her head.

"SIT BOY!" Inuyasha just hit the ground and this time didn't get up. He just laid there with his face in the dirt deciding best not to argue.

"I'm a little lost here still so could someone please explain to me why there is a little furry kid on my head!" Cyborg cried in anguish as Shippo slid back and forth on the top of his head.

"Look Kagome! It is so slippery! WEEE!" Starfire giggled and Robin grabbed Shippo by the tail and put him on the ground gently.

"So… Raven would you the honor of bearing my children?" Miroku's voice rang out through the cave. Everyone looked to see Raven smiling evilly and Beast Boy gulped.

"Oh no, I've seen that look before, Raven don't do…" It was too late however, Raven raised two fingers and the monk was immediately surrounded in a black aura. Raven smirked as she sent the monk doing loops around the cave and purposely bumping him into walls.

"It was only…OUCH! … A simple question…. OWWW! … Milady! OUCH! A yes or no will do…OWWEEE!" Raven shrugged.

"Fair enough." Raven dropped Miroku on his face and then pulled him to a standing position.

"Hmm let's see… NO!" Raven backhanded him across the face and then turned to Sango.

"And that is how to turn down very inappropriate offers." They both burst into fits of laughter. The good mood was shattered when yelling began to echo through the mine.

"OH YEAH?"
"I'LL TAKE YOU ANYTIME, ANYWHERE TIGHTBOY!"

"YEAH RIGHT! LIKE YOU COULD! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? SIT, ROLL OVER OR HOW ABOUT FETCH?"

"WHY YOU LITTLE BLACK HAIRED TWERP!"Inuyasha's hands were balled into fists as were Robin's and they were shouting into each other's faces.

"I see your friend Inu…yasha? Has, as you say, met his match?" Starfire asked Kagome who shrugged.

"Looks like a battle of the egos to me. Now you miss would you be interested in…" Miroku smiled at Starfire who looked at him before her fists glowed green.

"Would you like to hear my answer?" Miroku was behind Sango so fast that his shadow was probably still in front of Starfire.

"Uh no, no I think I already know the answer." He assured Starfire who returned to her bubbly little self.

"I vote we get out of this cave before those two bring it crashing to the ground." Cyborg offered. All attentions were turned back to Robin and Inuyasha who were removing things from their person.

"NO WAEPONS!"

"DEAL!" Robin tossed off his belt and it lay on the ground.

"STRICTLY HAND TO HAND!" Inuyasha shot back and set down his own sword the Tetsusiga.

"ONLY ONE WILL BE LEFT STANDING!"

"Umm dude why don't like take this outside?" Beast Boy suggested and both of them yelled back.

"SHUT UP!" They however grabbed their things and attempted to storm out of the cave but ran head long into a shimmering purple barrier.

"OUCH!" Robin held his forehead, as did Inuyasha while they rolled on the floor in pain. Starfire and Kagome rushed to Robin and Inuyasha.

"ROBIN! Robin! Are you well?" Robin opened his eyes and looked up at Starfire.

"What do you think?"

"I asked you first." Starfire countered and Robin sat up slowly and looked at Inuyasha coldly.

"That's what you get for rushing ahead Inuyasha." Kagome reprimanded.

"Give it a rest already, I'll bet you one of these freaks conjured it…"

"SIT BOY!"

"AGGGGHHHH!" Kagome let out a laugh as Inuyasha spit out a mouthful of dirt.

"I think it's a barrier dude." Beast boy walked up to the entrance and poked at the air. Each time his finger almost got out the whole area glowed purple shoved his finger back at him.

"You certainly are a bright one Beast Boy." Raven commented.

"Thank…HEY! Were you trying to insult me?"

"On second thought…" Raven shrugged.

"Hmm this is certainly puzzling indeed. I have never seen anything like this before. Perhaps it is another barrier of Naraku's." Miroku thought out loud.

"Nara…who?" Cyborg inquired.

"A demon. Or well many demons… sorta it's kinda hard to explain, we are all looking for him to kill him." Kagome sighed and looked out of the mine or since they were now in the feudal era, a cave.

"What do you think we should do?" Sango asked holding Kirara in her arms.

"My suggestion is that Inuyasha use his Tetsusiga to see if he can break the barrier." Miroku offered.

"I see no barrier here, look…" Starfire shot out of the cave and zoomed back in with ease. The barrier didn't even show in the slightest. Starfire flicked her hair over her shoulder lightly and landed in front of Robin.

"Whoa! Starfire do that again!" Robin exclaimed. Starfire gave her hair another flip.

"Like this Robin?"

"No, the other thing."

"OH this!" Starfire floated in the air and Robin slammed his head against the stone.

"No you bubbly wench, go through the barrier." Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"I do not understand your meaning… Inu…Yasha?" Starfire shrugged coming over to Inuyasha.

"You are certainly thick headed!" Inuyasha gave her a shove and Starfire was tossed out of the cave and landed on her rear.

"Ouch!"

"Hey watch it dog boy! She's… well she's…just watch it!" Robin snapped and yanked one of Inuyasha's ears.

"Why does it have to be the ears! You're in for it now…" Inuyasha shoved his claws in Robin's face.

"Inuyasha! Do I have to say it?" Kagome intruded. Inuyasha whipped around.

"No! I'll do it myself Kagome!" Inuyasha threw himself on the ground at her feet and Robin snickered.

"Look who's been trained."

"Oh shut up!" Inuyasha snapped while he continued to lay on the floor.

Raven, Cyborg, Sango and Miroku stood back a ways. Raven was first to voice their thoughts.

"Is it just me or are we all glad that we aren't involved?"

"I should say so Lady Raven." Miroku agreed. Raven looked at Miroku unimpressed.

"I am not amused, and cut it with the 'lady' stuff."

"But I am simply trying to…GAHH!" Raven lifted Miroku again and let out a sigh.

"You can put him down Raven, he won't ask you again." Sango reassured Raven who set the monk back down.

"I wonder what's gotten into Robin?" Cyborg wondered aloud.

"It obvious. He's just trying to impress… never mind." Raven shook away her explanation.

"Ooooh can you really turn into any animal?" Little Shippo demanded of Beast Boy.

"Well almost any animal, but I like to think I can master anything." Beast Boy stated confidently.

"You wanna know something?" Shippo asked softly of Beast Boy.

"Sure dude why not?"

"I can change shapes too you wanna see?"

"Okay." Beast Boy nodded and with a pop Shippo turned into a huge pink orb and with a bounce or two was out of the mine through the barrier as well without problem.

"Hey Shippo just got out! That must mean that we can all get out!" Kagome cheered while stating the obvious. She as well trotted through the barrier.

"Come on let's go!" Kagome gestured all of them to follow. Sango dashed out and Miroku was on her tail, but he wasn't as lucky. In a flash of purple Miroku was bounced back and skidded to a halt on the ground.

"What is this thing? Will it only let out beautiful women?" He whined in anguish.

"Maybe it will keep every woman safe from you sir monk." Raven grinned and if it was possible she skipped out of the mine.

"Well then why did it let Shippo out?" Beast Boy wondered. Shippo called to him from the other side.

"I'm just a kid! Not a stubborn half demon or human, and I most certainly DON'T act like you Miroku!"

"You know come to think of it I haven't done anything like that except for that tall gorgeous blond back home even then I was just looking, but she was F-I-I-N-E!" Cyborg let out a whistle and Beast Boy nodded and smiled until he saw Raven's glare and it quickly faded.

"You think we should give it a shot dude?" Beast Boy asked walking up to the entrance again. Cyborg shrugged.

"Yeah if we walk it won't hurt too much when we get flung back."

"Okay dude." Beast Boy closed one eye and moved forward. He wasn't surprised however when the barrier pushed him back. Cyborg walked up to it and stuck a hand out.

"Here we go." He as well closed his eyes and stepped through.

"OH YEAH!" Cyborg shouted when he opened his eyes again. Looking behind him as he turned around he saw a glimmering purple haze covering the entrance to the other's prison.

"Great now what do you think we should do?" Robin groaned. Inuyasha however smirked.

"Heh heh you think we're stuck here?"

"Well gee I don't know we are kind of having issues getting out!" Robin replied sarcastically. Inuyasha shook his head.

"I'll just slash through it with my Tetsusiga."

"I thought you were going to do that ten minutes ago!" Miroku cried in exasperation.

"Aww is little Miroku suffering from women depravation?" Sango teased sticking out her tongue.

"Now, now Sango I think that is uncalled…"

"You can kiss and make up later monk but now we have more important things to do." Inuyasha pulled out his Tetsusiga and Robin let out a laugh.

"You're going to try and break a barrier with thatttttttt!" Robin's laugh turned into a wheeze as the sword transformed.

"Yeah you got a problem with that?" Inuyasha growled as he got proper footing. He took a deep breath and letting it out slammed the Tetsusiga against the barrier and disappeared in a puff of purple smoke. There was an ear splitting scraping and then the smoke cleared instantaneously.

"WHAT?" Inuyasha looked at his Tetsusiga which was back to it's small dull form.

"Hmm how very puzzling." Miroku looked at the barrier again and poked it with his finger.

"Poking at it isn't going to work stupid so why don't we just try something else." Inuyasha growled.

"Because we haven't got anything else!" Robin shouted. He was about o issue another insult when Starfire let out a squeak.

"OWE! It bit me!" She whined holding something in her fingers. Inuyasha squinted at it and then exclaimed.

"Miyoga?" (Comm. Butler: I think that is how it's spelled, not sure?)

"Who?" Robin inquired before he heard the flea speak up.

"Ahh I see Master Inuyasha you have gotten yourself into more trouble."

"Yeah, yeah so stop bothering me and help me if you would."

"Hmm. It seems you are blocked by a barrier, now let me see…"

"HURRY UP FLEA!" Inuyasha shouted.

"Patience is a virtue Master Inuyasha… ah I remember you are trapped by this barrier because of an old spell put on it by a local priestess. It seems she fell in love with a man and she was sure he loved her, but he would not admit it. So she locked him in this cave with an ogre and said that only those who were true to their heart, and by that she meant her lover, should pass through it, while the remaining ponder what their heart's desire really is. The locals call it the Cave of Lovestruck Man."

"Oh just great! Now it's hopeless." Inuyasha moaned as he sat on the floor with his arms folded. Robin sat next to him.

"You said it."

"I see you two can agree on something, now if we just think and find what is in our…" Miroku advised, but Inuyasha just hit him with a rock.

"We were listening you dolt!" He looked out at Kagome who was starting to speak.

"Well Inuyasha it can't be too hard to find what is in you heart can it?" What Kagome didn't voice was her concern. Who would Inuyasha chose? Herself or… Keiko?
