Well I found my papers that I had lost and I'm putting this up earlier than my last posting had said (the author notice) anyways this is the first chapter when Naraku's new puppet or whatever you want to call it appears in. It just fits so well into my plot! Well I'm making this short (not the chapter) so, I should go I don't know if anyone reads these anyways.
Jagged rocks sprouted from the earth. The sky was darkened so much that the blue was gone, and replaced with black. The air wasn't warm and clear, it was cold and smelt damp. Skulls of slain demons and humans lay across the foot of the rocks, their bones forever marking the spot where they now rest in eternal sleep.
A near by swamp filled with green oozing goo makes a gurgling noise, a bubble of poison gas floats on the surface briefly before it's popped. Small puffs of deadly gas rise from the spot where it once was. Bones and dead trees lie at the edge of the swamp, those who have not burned and melted.
Grass is scarce from the lack of heat and sunlight. There are small patches of yellow where the remaining grass is, but it's dead and fragile. Some pieces have been blown away from countless windstorms and trampled on by the pounding feet of soldiers or mighty demons locked in a battle of death.
The rocks are hot to the touch, despite the cold, damp weather. It's strange to everyone that passes by, if, of course, they survive through this place.
All animals here are dead. The only ones that manage to survive are ravens and crows. They scavenge around, picking at the bones to see if there are any muscles or flesh left on them.
The clouds begin to darken even more than what they already were. They start to move fast and look like they're rolling on top of each other. They swirl as a strong wind beats them around.
The bones on the ground begin to rattle and shake roughly from the wind. Some smaller ones like rib bones fly up into the sky in a whirlwind-like fashion. Toe bones and finger bones go even higher until they can no longer be spotted from the ground below.
The dead grass is now completely ripped out from the cold, poisoned soil. It flies around like the bones do. The grass is shredded to pieces when a lightning bolt rips through the sky.
The clouds suddenly depart and a huge feather comes out of them.
Kagura smirked when she saw all the bones. Beside her was Kanna with her mirror. They just got back from the castle ruins and were returning to Naraku's hiding spot, where he was making another one of his spawn.
Kagura looked towards the white-haired girl's mirror. She saw a small pink orb bouncing around, desperately trying to get out. She winced at the thought of what Naraku had in mind, but her evil side that slithered around inside of her got the best of her, She chuckled briefly as she watched Kagome's soul still trying to get out.
----------------------------------------
It was white all around. Kagome could see nothing but that shade. Even the sky, or what she thought was the sky, was white.
'Where am I?' Kagome said to herself.
She than realized that she couldn't move her mouth it was frozen. She tried to move her hands and legs, but they wouldn't budge. Something was definitely wrong.
Kagome could feel her soul trying hard to get out of this place with all it's might, but to no avail.
'Why can't I move?'
She then saw a little girl. Kagome remembered her quickly and tried hard to break out of her shell, but she just couldn't.
Kanna walked slowly up to Kagome and looked into her eyes. She reached out to her and began to speak.
"Come with me," she said in a soothing voice. "Come with me and I'll release you. You will be more happy with where I'll take you," she walked even closer to Kagome and tried to smile. "Won't you please come with me?"
Kanna looked on as Kagome went through a great deal of pain trying to open her mouth.
'No I don't want to go!' she yelled in her mind.
"Is that a yes I hear?" Kanna said in a quiet voice. "I will release you now."
Kagome felt her head move a bit as she tried to shake it.
Kanna was shocked at first to see the girl move. She quickly shook it off and took hold of Kagome's hand. She then directed the helpless priestess into a light that now appeared before them.
-----------------------------------------
"So," Kagura said in a distant tone, "I see you have the young girl's soul under control, do you not?"
Kanna nodded to show the wind mistress that she did.
The two sisters rode closer on Kagura's feather towards the rocks. A large cave was now visible behind a huge boulder once they passed it. A small cloud of smoke rose out of it, some one was most likely cooking something. A faint light could be seen too.
Kagura flew closer and landed at the foot of the cave. She stepped off of the feather and waited until Kanna did too before it shrunk and she placed the feather into her hair. She looked outside to make sure nobody had seen them come here. She turned back around and quietly walked to the back of the cave.
Kagura spotted Kanna kneeling down beside Naraku. Her scarlet eyes flashed with hatred for a moment. She saw Naraku glance up at her. She decided that it would be best to sit down beside him too.
"Where's the girl?" he asked in his usual evil voice.
"We brought you her soul, Master Naraku."
Naraku's eyes opened violently as Kagura finished her words.
"Her soul! You brought me her soul? I want a body too damn it! Otherwise my plan of destroying Inuyasha won't work. GET ME HER BODY!"
Kagura stepped back. Hadn't he told her to get him her soul? That stupid asshole probably wanted to go get the other ones too!
"Don't just stand there!"
Naraku picked up a rock and got ready to throw it at Kagura. He stopped and spoke again.
"Do you think I would just throw a stupid rock at you?" he laughed
Naraku dropped it and sent some sort of invisible attack towards the wind mistress. She was flung violently against the hard cave wall. She picked herself up and hurried out of the cave. She picked out a feather from her hair and flew off.
Naraku chuckled at the pain he had just caused Kagura. He placed his hand on his lap and looked towards Kanna, who was showing him Kagura's whereabouts.
He told the soulless girl to stop. He stood up and walked over to the cave entrance. He folded his arms and looked at Kanna and quietly spoke.
"Do you wish to see your brother?"
Kanna nodded slowly and sat up. She waited for Naraku to direct her to him. She didn't have to wait long. He was already demanding that she follow.
They went to the very back of the cave. Naraku walked up to a large bolder and wrapped his arms around it. Veins in his arms bulged out as he pushed the boulder to the side. He dusted his hands off and looked out of the cave to see if Kagura had come back yet, which would be impossible because he knew Inuyasha wouldn't give up the young girl so easily. Then he looked at Kanna and motioned for her to follow.
A soft red glow came from inside the hidden room. A small fire was in the middle of it, burning low from time to time. A small hole was on the one wall, that's probably what Kanna and Kagura had spotted the spoke coming from earlier on. There was a small, skinny table positioned by the window, several small containers and pots lay on top of it. There was also a layout of sharp, strange looking objects.
Kanna recognized one of them as a long skinny needle-like thing that was used as a tool to inject poison into the blood stream. A small curve at the top was where the poison would go. Once there, the handler would place it lightly into the victims skin. From there, whatever kind of poison it was, it would react immediately.
Kanna took her concentration off of the object and then focused on the moving object that was in the left hand corner of the room.
She stepped back when she saw a pair of two green and scarlet eyes open quickly in the dark. They bore into Kanna's soulless eyes. She turned away and looked at Naraku. He just grinned, but spoke shortly after. Not to Kanna, but to the thing with the terrible eyes.
"Why don't you show yourself?"
Kanna could hear a low hissing noise coming from the creature. She stepped back once again, she wasn't planning on making any eye contact, but it's eyes were so hypnotizing.
There was a loud noise that could only be metal clashing upon metal as a shadow that resembled the thing, rose up from the corner.
The green and scarlet eyes lost their glow once the thing stepped into the light.
It was wearing a brown hooded costume. It had jet-black hair that sprouted out everywhere. In its hands it held and oddly colored chain with a spiked ball, laced with poison at the top. On its legs were chains and cuffs that secured it closely to the cave wall.
It stepped forward again and bared its sharp fangs at Naraku and Kanna.
"This is Zuri, Kanna."
She checked over the deadly demon. Naraku sure must have had a lot of power this time to create something so powerful looking. It would be difficult for Inuyasha to destroy Zuri. It looked like things were going well for Naraku after all.
Zuri looked at Naraku and spoke his very first words.
"So," he hissed, "what is it that you want me to do?"
Naraku was going to speak, but didn't want Kanna to wade in on their conversation.
"Go on and wait for Kagura by the cave entrance. As soon as she arrives with the girl's body, give the girl her soul, wake her up, than come and get me."
Kanna clasped her hands together and bowed. Then she stood up and walked silently out of the hidden room, to the place where she was ordered to go.
Naraku turned back and looked at his newest creation as he spoke.
"I want you to poison this girl that will be here soon."
"What kind of poison. Or what do you want to see happen?" Zuri hissed.
"I need something to make an illusion so that she thinks wrong of her lover, driving her to kill him."
Zuri walked over to the table and picked up a purple pot. He turned and looked at Naraku and grinned an evil grin.
"I'll see what I can do."
