Chapter 11: Of a Wound and Into the Spider's Lair

--


Inuyasha and Myouga entered the room. Inuyasha couldn't see a thing due to the excessive amount of fog. He frowned. 'If this is the battlefield, my opponent's going to have a hell of an advantage' Inuyasha thought gloomily.

"Myouga, what do you think?" he whispered.

"This is very rare indeed, Lord Inuyasha."

There seemed to be 10 pillars forming a circle. The outline of the circle was noticeable due to the ring of grass. It gave a spooky feeling, the one that makes you feel you're not alone. He looked around. No sign of any giant spiders around. Everything around was damp and cold.

Myouga's voice trembled as he looked up. "I think I found our Hostess for the evening."

Inuyasha looked up. A GIANT spider was glued to the ceiling. It was at least 30 feet tall. The spider opened its one eye and looked around. Inuyasha quickly ran behind a pillar. The spider looked again for the intruder, gave up, and closed its eye again. Inuyasha let out a sigh of relief that echoed all over the room. He silently cursed.

The spider let out a deep sound, probably from the irritation of the noise. She looked around more careful this time, and spotted Inuyasha behind one of the right side pillars.

"Surprise?" Inuyasha whispered.

The spider's eye turned red. Inuyasha quickly took out his sword and his shield. Queen Gohma released a rather large spider. She closed her eye again. Its son stared at Inuyasha and charged at him. Inuyasha jumped sideways and then back flipped. The spider double crossed him and pierced Inuyasha's side. He gasped in pain, but the wound didn't seem too deep. Inuyasha swung his at his opponent, connecting with its hind legs.

While the spider convulsed in pain, Inuyasha took out his Slingshot and shot its eye. Without its one eye, the spider was blind. It can still sense me if I make too much noise. It shrieked and kicked and ran all over the room, trying to seek out Inuyasha. Inuyasha slashed one of its front arms off and then stabbed where he thought the spider's heart might be.

Inuyasha panted. He ripped a piece of his tunic off and tightly wrapped it around his wounded rib cage. He hoped it would stop the blood flow.

I'll have to get this treated, Inuyasha thought.

"Well, Queenie, your weak attempt didn't work." Inuyasha teased the spider.

He took his Slingshot and waited patiently. As soon as Queen Gohma opened her eye, he shot the seed.

Bam!

She lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thud. Inuyasha ran and started striking and slashing her. The Spider shrieked and moaned and then regained her will, took off and climbed back to the roof.

This happened again a second time. The spider would fall to the ground, and Inuyasha would hit it with all he had. On the third try, the spider lost the little energy she had left and died, the flesh burning and rotting into ashes.

Suddenly, a mysterious light lit up the room. The fog mysteriously disappeared and the spider vanished into a pile of ashes. A ring of emerald green light appeared in the middle of the room.
Inuyasha walked over to it.

"What's this?"

"I believe it is a warp point. It'll probably guide us back to the outside world."

Inuyasha stepped into the ring and sighed in relief, as he felt himself being pulled up.

I did it . . . I'm going home.

I also didn't change much just because I thought this chapter was fine as it was.
