I'm back with another chapter for my beloved story. Just kidding. I know it's not beloved. Well, maybe just a little...Everybody is telling me that the cat's name is Kirara instead of Kiara. But, I do believe it's Kiara so, that's just how I'm going to spell it. (Either way you spell it the comp. Still says it's not a word anyway. :D ) As for the Horace thing. Oops...That's what happens when you're away from school for a few months. Um...I'll fix that after I finish the story...If I remember. Sorry about the mistakes and everything. Thanks for the reviews and enjoy the story.
Miroku and Inuyasha made their way to the passage that Kagome and Naraku had stopped. Kagome apparently had been knocked out there before...
"Unh...?" Kagome groaned and tried to move but found that she was shackled down to a huge sacrifice altar. And the HUGE rodent crawling on her chest didn't make it any better,"AHHHHH!" The rat flew off her chest to her very much dead companion who could be none other then Kikyo, which surprisingly..Didn't help either,"AHHHHHHHH!"
It wasn't going to be easy to save Kagome. Inuyasha and Miroku agreed on that but, how to go about it was even more difficult. They knew they needed that book and they couldn't afford to let Kagome get killed by a dead guy...It just wasn't right. So, Miroku would go get the book and Inuyasha, as usual, would do the dangerous life-risking stuff. Such as saving Kagome. But, at this certain moment Inuyasha was at a loss of what to do. They'd started this ritual or whatever and he didn't have anything to save her with. He looked around frantically for some kind of weapon to cut her chains with. His eyes fell upon a sword. A golden handled long sturdy-looking sword. That would work.
'You're going to die just like this Kagome...Sacrificed for some dead lover of another dead guy. Isn't it exciting? And then the two of them will take over the world together and have little dead babies or something and be happy forever. But, at least you'll be dead and you won't have to worry about that, right?' Kagome was having a very open conversation with herself waiting for her impending doom,' I wonder if Inuyasha died at the hands of those priest or the sand...No I know he's here. I heard something blow up. He's definitely here and on his way to save me but, he might be too late. Oh well. If he dies too at least we'll be together somewhere. Never really thought there was a god so, if there is he probably won't be too happy with me and we'll end up with all the bad people. But, we'll be together. That's good.' She could hear the chanting of Naraku's priest and Naraku saying something in Egyptian that she wasn't trying to make out. Then, her dead companion screamed at her. Well, she more like gasped like she was sucking in breath for the first time in a long time but...Kagome was pretty sure she didn't have lungs. It was still gross. Then, Kagome saw the first familiar face she'd seen in a long time. Miroku, with the book...THAT IDIOT!
"Kagome! I got it! Look I got the book!" Not only did Kagome see it. But, Naraku, Kikyo, and all his priest saw it too. Naraku seeing the book seemed to say in his head, that the task at hand could wait until he got that book because it was pretty good for his quest of world domination. He proceeded to come toward Miroku with inhospitable intentions.
"Open it!" Kagome called back quickly.
"I...I can't! It's got some kind of lock on it."
"The key! We need the key! It's in his robes!" Miroku ra off after that bit of information was passed.
Well, that was the diversion Inuyasha needed. Miroku to the rescue.
Kagome struggled with the chains. Inuyasha came out of nowhere with a huge sword and slammed down on what had been the chains. Successfully scaring the crap out of Kagome.
"Inuyasha!" She sat up slightly so that she could see him. He made his way around the other side to the other shackle. But, of course, Naraku had to mess up this rescue operation. His priest got up at the Egyptian command to 'Destroy Him' (Which Naraku seemed to be uttering a lot of lately) and attacked Inuyasha. He didn't seem to have a problem with this seeing as though he sliced them up in hilarious ways to the point that Kagome would of laughed if it hadn't been a life or death situation. After a few minutes all the priest were sliced and on the ground or they were just limbs crawling around looking for the rest of their body . At this, Inuyasha turned to her with a smug expression on his face and with the sword over his shoulder.
"Feh...Mummies.." He was about to lift the sword to cut the other shackle but, suddenly was pulled down," AH!" He was down and Kagome couldn't really see him anymore.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome struggled to see to the ground. Inuyasha wasn't doing well now. He was held down by three dead priest guys and another was coming with a huge hieroglyphic stone to crush him with, she supposed. Inuyasha had dropped his sword and he didn't like the thought of dying by being crushed by some dead guys...Maybe he should ask them what it was like. He looked to the side quickly and tried to reach for his sword one more time...He was only a little off if he had an extra arm or...One of those limbs he'd cut off crawled right over and grasped the sword. That was all he needed. Inuyasha quickly grabbed that limb and managed to slice off the legs of the priest holding the hieroglyphic stone, having all that weight and no legs, he fell backwards. Inuyasha dealt with the other priests quickly and cut Kagome's other chains. She quickly got up from the table and dusted herself off.
"I'm starting to think you weren't worth it." Inuyasha mumbled to himself but, Kagome managed to hear.
"Hey, what's that suppose to mean!"
Meanwhile Miroku was up to no good. He had ran somewhere and was frantically trying to translate a inscription on the cover of the book. Naraku was getting ever so closer and Miroku just blurted part of it. There was a loud clunk sound and about five rows of soldiers came marching out of a hidden chamber in the wall. They stopped at Kagome and Inuyasha and began moving forward slowly in a battle stance. Inuyasha blinked and stepped in between Kagome and the undead troopers. Naraku gave Miroku a 'Thank You' look and turned to the troops. Naraku turned to the troops and gave his favorite command. The troops stepped forward to Inuyasha. Inuyasha's first instinct was to run but, he figured why not do something to be remembered by in the last few minutes of your life...So, he yelled at 'em. He straight yelled at them, y'know just to see how tough they were. But, obviously they were having none of that and they yelled back. They also demonstrated that they had the ability to stretch their mouths just like Naraku. Inuyasha took off in the other direction leaving Kagome standing there all alone. But, Kikyo came to make her feel right at home. With the help of a dagger.
"Ahhh!" Kagome ran into a non-too happy Kikyo. She ran in the other direction and was chased and screamed at. Oh yes. This was definitely Miroku to the rescue. He'd saved them the trouble of killing themselves,"Miroku! Hurry! You can control them!" She called to her brother while dodging her crazy undead nemesis with the dagger.
"Huh! I seriously doubt that!"
"Finish the inscription on the cover, idiot! Then you can control them!" Kagome ran again barely getting pass the dagger in Kikyo's hand.
"Oh...Right!" For some reason Miroku felt that he shouldn't be reading there or something and went to go hide somewhere and read the rest of the inscription.
Inuyasha could fight. He loved fighting, even when the odds were against him. There was something about it that calmed him rather then made him upset. But, at that very moment he was wishing he was back at their hotel room, what he'd come to call home, and that this whole mummy business would go away. He could hear the troops scuttling behind him. They sounded fast. Like spiders on a wall. They chased him into a dead ended room and there he realized...They were like spiders. They were literally crawling along the walls of the tomb around him. He couldn't stand spiders or mummies. He knew that now. Before it had just been spiders..Now mummies was on the list. The spider troops eventually got him down on the ground and Inuyasha thought he was most definitely finished. He'd never got to ask the priest about how it was to be dead. Oh well. He squeezed his eyes shut and heard the troops coming toward him they lowered their spears and swords and...
"K-Kagome what's this last one here?"
"What does it look like!" Kagome barely pushed back Kikyo's dagger.
"Uh...Like a bird or stork.."
"It's...a ... MANIFEST!"
"Oh yes...I see."
"HURRY UP AND READ IT YOU IDIOT!"
"Okay..." Miroku read the rest of the inscription.
Inuyasha felt the points of the sword and spears on his face but, they'd stopped. He slowly opened his eyes. The troops had gotten back into ranks and were standing in attention. What was going on?
Miroku gave them a specific command 'Kill Kikyo.'
The troops marched off immediately back to where they'd came from. Kikyo had Kagome cornered and was just about to get a stab in when they came around the corner. She let out a little confused scream but, it was too late. Kikyo was stabbed to death by the troops (Much to Kagome's like and Much to Naraku's disliking).
Naraku was ticked off. Miroku was sure he was a dead man. Naraku had no use for the book now that Kikyo's body had been destroyed so, he just decided to take out his anger on Miroku. He threw him across the room and into a wall. He was heading that way again but, this time it was Inuyasha's turn to save the day. Of course, his way always involved more blood and disgusting stuff then anyone else. He cut Naraku arm off. It was cut pretty clean but, the gross part was that he had been in the process of strangling Miroku and his arm was still attached to him.
"Ahhh!" Miroku quickly removed the arm from his neck and pushed it across the room.
The arm cutting had no effect on Naraku at all. It only succeeded in getting him more ticked off and directing his attention on Inuyasha. Naraku proceeded to pull his arm back on and twisted it to make sure it was secure. Everyone had a disgusted, confused look on their faces. Then, Naraku grabbed Inuyasha and threw him to the other side of the room. Miroku used this distraction to rub his neck and announce his new triumph.
"Kagome, I got it." Miroku held up the almost forgotten key that they needed to open the book.
"Nice pickpocketing." Kagome quickly hurried over to her brother and took the key,"Keep him busy, Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha had just been thrown again and hadn't landed too ceremoniously either. He sighed.
"No problem." Naraku grabbed Inuyasha's neck and began to lift him. Kagome opened the book and flipped the pages. Miroku watched helplessly and turned back to his sister.
"Hurry Kagome! Hurry." He urged her.
"I'm trying...AHA! This is it!" Kagome read the passage aloud. There was a whipping sound and a blue transparent ghostly carriage came down the stairs of the tomb. It ran through Naraku and seemed to take something away from him. On closer inspection, they saw that it was Naraku himself. But, he was the same blue, transparent color as the carriage and it was driving away. The non-transparent Naraku chased after it as far as he could but, it was of no use. Whatever had been taken was now gone.
"I thought you said this book was gonna kill him." Inuyasha got up slowly with his sword back in hand. Naraku spun around and came toward him. He walked right into the sword. He hiccuped a little and looked astonished like he didn't know that normal people couldn't walk into swords and die.
"He's mortal." Kagome smiled.
Naraku slowly walked backwards into a blue pool that had suddenly appeared in the tomb. As he walked in he decomposed before them. His last words were: 'DEATH is only the BEGINNING.'
Meanwhile
Onigumo had been busy taking all the gold he could carry and putting it on his escape camel. But, now he was tired and he needed to rest. He sat his huge bag of gold (A/N: For some reason I wrote 'his huge bag of cat' on that part.) On a lever that sticking out of a wall. Then, he learned rule # 1 of walking around in a old tomb of Egypt, 'Never touch levers that are sticking out of the wall'. There was a clanking sound and the walls began to fall in and sink. Onigumo looked around frantically. He'd just started something he would definitely regret.
Kagome and Miroku were now dancing around the tomb. Inuyasha for some reason couldn't join the celebration yet. He just seemed to know that something was wrong still. Then, the walls began to shake and it felt like they were sinking. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and took off.
"Time to go." The two of them started to run and Miroku followed suit.
The three of them ran pass a small lake and Miroku tripped and dropped the book in the water. He quickly got up and kept running. Kagome stopped went back.
"You..dropped the book! How could you..I mean..It's priceless."
"C'mon Kagome!" Inuyasha and Miroku dragged her off and kept running.
When they got to the room full of gold. It was Miroku's turn to stop.
"Couldn't we just..?" He whined.
"No Miroku!" Inuyasha and Kagome came back and got him. The walls were closing in on them slowly and they got to the only exit. It was coming down slowly. Miroku got through, Then, Kagome. Inuyasha was about to go through when he heard a familiar whine.
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Don't leave me!" Onigumo deserved to be left in that tomb to die. But, Inuyasha wasn't that kind of guy. He went halfway through and waited for Onigumo but, it was too late. Onigumo couldn't fit through so...The wall closed.
"Good bye, Onigumo." Inuyasha couldn't do anything for him now and he was as good as dead now so, that was all he could say. He kept running.
They made it outside and pass all the collapsing columns to where the camels waited patiently and unharmed. Kagome, Inuyasha, and Miroku watched as Hamunaptra, the hidden city. Went away completely.
"Well, here we are. We save the world and come out empty handed." Miroku sighed.
"Oh, so you're saying I'm nothing then, you pervert." Miroku turned around and came face to face with...A cat. A big desert cat but, on that desert cat was Sango. She had a few scars on her face but, she'd changed her clothes and let her hair down.
"I'd never say that. I'll see you guys later. I'm going to hitch a ride over here and y'know." Miroku got on Kiara. The two flew away and there was a slap sound shortly after but, at least, Miroku didn't come crashing down again.
Inuyasha and Kagome got on their own camel and rode off into the sunset but, it wasn't like they weren't as active as Miroku and Sango. At that moment everyone was perfectly happy but, what they didn't know was that Kagome and Inuyasha were riding on Onigumo escape camel.
The end.
I hope you all enjoyed this story. Kagome and Inuyasha and Miroku x Sango. You know I really enjoyed writing this. I'm sorry the last part took so long. But, I hope it was worth it. Now, I know you all want to know am I or a I not going to do sequel. To be honest. I most likely will not until I get the second movie. You guys are welcome to do it yourselves if you want. You don't even have to give me credit. But, uh..Anyway. Thanks for your reviews and support. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. :)
