I'm back. Sorry, I've been enjoying my summer vacation and as a result the story has been getting neglected. I'm going to try to get the mummy in this chapter. Thank you for the reviews. This is the almost the most reviews I've had. If you guys get pass the 22 mark then, this story will make a record and I'll be very happy. :D Anyway, enough of me talking I'll do that at the end of the chapter. On with the story.
" So, where are we heading first, Kagome?" Miroku looked around the ancient city while asking his sister.
"Well, I have a hunch that we should go underground over here." Kagome pointed to a hole in the ground near a pyramid.
"Okay then, that's where we're going." Inuyasha stated simply and pulled out a rope.
Each of them slid down the rope. Miroku went down first, the warden was next then, Kagome and Inuyasha (Who had his gun pulled out).
"What is that smell!" Miroku yelled as he got to solid ground.
"Sorry." The warden replied. Miroku looked him.
"Oh. Okay then." Kagome ignored that comment.
"According to my readings... we should start digging right around here." Inuyasha started digging.
"Hey." Kagome heard Inuyasha calling her. She turned and got something thrust in her face. It was a small roll up tool kit for archeology," I got you something." He said he started mumbling incoherent things after that but kagome caught,"Thought you might need it cause we're digging and stuff.." Somewhere in there. She smiled.
"Thank you." At that precise moment the warden walked off by himself.
The warden walked into a long tunnel looking at the hieroglyphics on the wall. He stopped when he saw a picture of a man with his back arched and screaming look on his face as if in pain. Stuck in the body part of the man where little bug shaped jewels. He got greedy and popped one out. It flew pass his head and landed on the ground. He disregarded that one and went for the others. He didn't see the shell of the bug crack and the live one come out. It quickly ran to his foot. It went through the boot and into his body.
"Ahhhh!" He screamed the bug known as the Scarab was crawling through him slowly. It went up into his head. The warden started to run.
"Ahhhh!" Inuyasha stopped. He heard screams and pulled out a gun.
"That sounds like our smelly friend." Miroku stated. Inuyasha ran in the direction of the scream with his gun. The warden came running down the tunnel holding his head and screaming he was swinging his head around and ran right into to a wall. There was a sickening crack on impact and the warden was dead.
It was a minor lost but, it was still pretty creepy. Kagome had never seen anyone run into to a wall and die. It had to be something more but, she wasn't about to worry about it at the moment. They hadn't found anything where they had been digging so, her, Miroku, and Inuyasha were now moving deeper. Inuyasha slowed down suddenly. They were turning a corner soon...
Suddenly, everyone bumped into each other. There were a lot of guns in the air at that moment. Two were Inuyasha's. One was Miroku's and the rest were the Americans: Jack, Fred and Hojo.
"Woo..You scared the h out of us, Inuyasha." Jack stated everyone's thoughts.
"Likewise." Inuyasha didn't lower his gun and neither did the Americans,"I suppose you wnat to dig here."
"That right."
"Well, sorry you can't we are." Inuyasha growled.
"Hey..That's my tool kit." Hojo lowered his gun and looked over to Kagome's hands.
"No I don't think so." Hojo immediately had a gun in his face.
"Okay," He backed down," Perhaps I was mistaken." Inuyasha still didn't lower his gun neither did the Americans or Miroku. Onigumo came out of the crowd of workers they owned.
"Inuyasha," Onigumo taunted,"There are 15 of me and only two of you. They are not very good odds."
"I've had worse." Inuyasha grunted. Kagome eyes widened. She moved between the tow trigger-happy foes.
"Now, Now Children. If we are going to play together we must learn to share." She lowered Inuyasha and the Americans. She looked Inuyasha in the face. He looked at her skeptically,"There are other places to dig." He lowered his gun.
"Fine."
"So, according to my readings if we dig up here we should end up right in between the statues legs." Kagome stated proudly. Inuyasha had a chisel and was digging upward but, still listening and Miroku had a stick and was playing golf with the rocks on the ground. He was listening too.
"And then we'll get the book right?" Miroku looked at her.
" Yes unless those beastly Americans beat us to it." Kagome looked at Inuyasha," No offense."
"None taken." He said un-phased.
Meanwhile...
"Looks like we've go something here." Jack stated. It was a huge black chest it had engravings all over it. Their translator guy walked up to it and began reading the hieroglyphics.
"Beware of this chest. For whosoever opens it and raises one from the dead will suffer a curse and will be hunted down and destroyed." He read aloud.
"I'm not a afraid of no hocus pocus mumbo jumbo.. Let's just open the thing!" Jack yelled. Fred and Hojo agreed. Onigumo began to shiver. He backed back a little.
"Well, have the diggers open it." The translator stated. Onigumo felt his way to the door.
"BEWARE! BEWARE THE CURSE!" He fled outside leaving the Americans, translator, and the workers with the chest.
"Little superstitious b." Jack mumbled.
The diggers filed in and began to try to open the chest with crowbars.
" Open it! " The translator yelled in Egyptian," Open it! "
The chest pooped open and there was a hissing sound. The Americans gulped. The digger's screams rang through the air. They staggered out, they were half melted and collapsed on the ground.
"Whewy..That's gross." Jack stated as they moved over the melted workers to the chest.
"It was a acid spring trap." The translator moved over to the chest and pulled out the book of Amun Ra. It was completely black and had a bunch of engravings on it. Apparently, a lot of stuff in the place had a bunch of engravings on it.
"Do you want to know how they take your brains out?" Kagome asked excitedly.
"No." Inuyasha looked grossed out.
"They take a red hot poker and stick it up your nose then they jiggle things around a bit and pull it all out through your nostrils." She told him anyway.
"Oh..That's gotta hurt." Inuyasha held his nose.
"Oh you'll be dead when they do it so you don't feel a thing."
"Hey. Make a note of this. If I don't make it out of here. Don't sign me up for mummification." Inuyasha called to Miroku.
"Likewise." Miroku was still golfing with the rocks when he said that he hit one in the wrong place because a huge tomb fell for the top of the cave and into the middle of them.
"Okay." Inuyasha blinked,"Nice shot Miroku." They all moved toward the tomb. It had...guess what...Engravings all over it and a small star shaped part right near the top of it. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow,"That looks like a lock." He pointed at the star shaped part.
"A lock..A lock and a key!" Kagome shook her hands around and turned around for a second,"That's what he was talking about!" Kagome pulled out Miroku's trinket.
"Hey that's mine." Miroku protested. Kagome glanced at him then, pushed the button on the side. It popped open and she placed it in the star shaped lock. It was a perfect fit. She gave her brother a smug look.
That night they got it open. There were several tombs to go through but, they were now on the last one. They turned the lock and a mummy popped out. Kagome screamed and jumped back.
"God I hate when those things do that." She said after regaining her composure. She examined the mummy. There was something weird about it,"I've never seen a mummy like this...it's still..Still.."
"Juicy." Miroku and Inuyasha both finished for her.
"Right." Kagome nodded," It must be over a 1,000 years old and it looks as though it's still decomposing." They left the mummy there and went to set up camp.
Inuyasha was sitting there by himself when he saw Kagome coming. Onigumo was sitting next to him. For what reason Inuyasha had no idea but, he knew how to get him to leave.
"You're in her seat." He said looking at onigumo. He slowly began to get his stuff and move,"Now!" Onigumo scurried off. Kagome came and sat down next to him.
"So, what do we know about our dead guy?"
"Well, it looks like he suffered the Hamun- Dai. The worst of all Egyptian curses. They saved it for the worst betrayers and thieves." Kagome said. Miroku ignored her.
"Let's see what our stinky friend had with him." Miroku dug through the warden's bag,"OWWW!"
"What..What!" Kagome jumped back. Halfway leaning on Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked at her weird.
"It's a broken bottle..." Miroku pulled it out,"1979 Brandy He may of been stinky but, he had good taste." Miroku drunk himself to sleep and Kagome and Inuyasha eventually stopped talking and just started drinking also. Kagome got drunk and Inuyasha was teaching her how to punch.
"Okay...Right here." Inuyasha punched his left hand lightly," And mean it."
Kagome grinned,"I...Mean it." She swung a punch and barely hit his hand she was so drunk that she nearly fell over but, Inuyasha caught her and she went into a giggling fit.
"Okay...You've had enough to drink." Inuyasha sat her down on a log next to the fire and sat next to her.
"You're probably wondering..." Kagome started,"What a place like me..Is doing in a girl like this.." She giggled,"But, Egyptian is in my blood and unlike my brother I really do love Egypt."
"And unlike your brother, Ms." Inuyasha glanced at a knocked out Miroku , "You. I just don't get."
"Well, Mr. Inuyasha! I may not be a adventurer or a explorer but, I am proud of what I am. I.." Kagome stood wobbly," Am A Librarian!" She said. She sat back down (More like fell back down.) And leaned in close to Inuyasha. Their were nearly touching. He didn't look very excited,"I..Am going to kiss you now...Mr. Inuyasha."
"Just call me Inuyasha."
"Inuyasha.." She passed out. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and turned away from her. He had already known that wasn't going to happen.
A little bit of misguiding fluff there I guess. Um...Sorry this took so long please don't lose the faith this is the most important part of the story and as a result I do not want to screw it up. You can understand attention to detail right? Well, please read and review. Thank you for the reviews so far. And I will try to keep my updates frequent.
Oh yeah, There are a few questions I remember. Someone asked me if I am watching the movie while writing this. No. I have watched this movie way too many times and I know it basically by heart including the dialogue. Not trying to brag or anything but, it's all by memory! Uh..The Shippo lover person wants to have Shippo in the story but, uh...sorry. He doesn't really fit into it so, I'm sorry but, he won't be in it. You can read the weird little one-shot I'm going to post. Minor Shippo in there. Nothing real big. I don't even think he talks but, uh...yeah. That's all I have to say so, see ya' later.
