Inuyasha
Terrors in the apocalypse
Chapter 10
Cloud sighed sadly. "I wish I hadn't left my post…." He said, walking down the road through what was once Shenguku.
"Jezze Cloud… calm down…" Inuyasha looked over his shoulder. "Don't worry… ok? I think feudal Japan will be fine…" the half demon smiled.
"Better be right…" Cloud sounded annoyed. "I know there's nothing there… but I feel I must keep protecting it…"
Time passed, and they all guessed it was night. They were falling to and fro consciousness and were walking slowly. They had no idea where they were now… or how much time had passed. Everything all looked the same. Black earth, red sky… the clouds didn't move… it was like a painting…
"OK!" Miroku said very loudly, breaking the silence. "we are setting up camp here." Miroku pointed to the small cliff with several rocks at the base. "lets go!" then he started walking to it.
They all followed, and within what may have been half an hour. Camp was set. They sat around the fire, eating Miroku's new delicacy. Which was, his food, of course.
"ok… well…" Inuyasha started.
"wait. Shh…" cloud put his hand up, looking around slowly. "you guys hear that?"
Miroku looked up, Inuyasha strained his ears, and Sango looked around.
"yeah… I do hear it…" Inuyasha stood up, a snarl on his face, but no sound coming from him.
Cloud spat. "well well… they must be able to since what we have…" he looked at Miroku and Sango. Miroku still had the jewel in his body, resting just above his stomach, and Sango still had the cover over her eye, her ¼ of the jewel in her left eye socket.
"yeah… they came back for the pieces…" Inuyasha gripped the hilt of his sword. "didn't know those stupid things were still alive…"
"what are you talking about Inuyasha?" Kichi looked worried.
"Naraku's poison insects." Miroku said sternly, but then Sango threw her arms around him.
"no Miroku." She grabbed his right hand. "you're not using the wind tunnel to get rid of them."
"No. I will." Inuyasha ripped out the fang from its sheath. "and they all make their own little wind scar…."
Miroku's eyes widened. "Inuyasha…. You better be careful… if you aren't… you'll fry us too…"
Inuyasha scoffed. "ok." He pulled back the sword, waiting for his wind to meet the bugs. "come on…. Come on…" he whispered.
They all sat in silence. Watching the bugs. The weird thing was they weren't trying to come after the jewel fourths… they were just going by.
"GOODBYE!" Inuyasha yelled as he swung the sword, the wind scar blazed forward, then started cutting off into weird little irregular paths, cutting up and burning all the insects.
Everyone watched the little flaming chunks fall to the ground.
"that was unusually quick…." Kichi raised an eyebrow. "I couldn't even hit them with some of my magic"
Inuyasha forced the blade quickly into its sheath. "yeah… I know." He looked around. "they didn't even seem to be coming for the jewel…"
"yes… that is quite odd… normally they go after jewel shards… and we have about ¾ of the jewel right now… you'd think they would still swarm after us." Miroku scratched his chin.
"Think we should go now?" Inuyasha looked everyone over. Cloud and Kichi stood up with a nod. Sango and Miroku rose as well. Inuyasha cracked his neck then stopped. "Bastard…"
"Huh? 'Bastard' what Inuyasha?" Miroku picked up his staff, looking rather confused. "What do you see?"
"Don't you realize it? Those bugs. That means Naraku's still alive!" He yelped, then continued on his path. "The airports not far now…"
Why were those bugs still around? Had Naraku summoned More of them? That little jerk off didn't stop did he?
'Its them!' Kagome cried, Then watched as Miroku stood before her, gripping his beads. 'Miroku?'
'Don't you fool! The poison will kill you!' Inuyasha yelled, but the tunnel was open, and they were flying inside. He shut the tunnel quickly and gripped his forearm tightly, groaning in pain.
'You're so stupid Miroku!' Sango grabbed him by the shoulders, then looked surprised as Miroku smirked, and replied with: 'Gotta get rid of them at some point. Better late than never.'
Yet the poison still hadn't killed him yet… amazing…
"INUYASHA LOOK OUT!" A voice cried… it was too late. Inuyasha's face was now in the dirt…
"It's a body…" Sango quickly walked up and looked down at it. The body was of what looked like a half demon, holding a small object in one arm, in the other was a piece of paper. Most of it was illegible, but from what could be read, it was a love letter saying sorry… signed… signed by…
Sesshoumaru…
"What!" Inuyasha ripped it from Sango's hand, and Cloud leaned over to look. "I'll be damned… It is from him. There's no way he'd fall in love with anyone…"
Cloud chuckled and put his arm around Kichi's waist. "Anything's possible…" He then put his lips to her cheek, and she squirmed a minor protest, murmuring under her breath 'stop… no.'
"You're making me sick you two. Now the airports right over the hill… Lets just get going." Inuyasha leapt to his feet and cracked every one of his fingers. "Don't know what to expect, those flying machines don't work too well ever since those creatures destroyed everything and killed more than 8/10's of the world population…"
"Where are we headed exactly?" Kichi questioned, being held in cloud's arms, trying to walk with him reluctantly following. She didn't mind, but was slightly annoyed by him not letting go. Finally, she turned and slipped from his grasp as she sometimes did with a giggle, and kept going.
"To a place called Washington D.C. it's the only really big city left…" Inuyasha looked up at the airport before them, which lay in shambles, but had a good bit of the holes covered with makeshift materials.
"Its where everyone's gone, or is heading to…"
((damn it's been so long since I typed this… god… it feels so weird. If anyone's waiting for these, you shoulda said something… and thank Mika. She's the one that convinced me to finish this… so. BE THANKFUL DAMN IT! (to people that aren't Mika I mean.) well… that's it, and be sharp, cause this story's endin at chapter 15. then comes the next one, Inuyasha, Shadows of death.
