Chapter 24

Sango woke up with a smile, the sun was shining, the birds were singing...

"SIT! What DO you think I AM! Ever Since you found out that I could sense the jewel shards You've been acting this way! I'M NOT SOME KIND OF FREAKING SHARD DETECTOR YOU KNOW! I NEED BREAKS TOO! SIT!"

And so, the birds flew away and even the sun seemed to dim down a little. Sango kept smiling anyways. If it wasn't for that rosary, no one would be able to keep Inuyasha under control! It was kinda sweet how he wanted to go with Kagome to her time. He had nearly begged Kaede to give him something that would let him pass through the well.

But of course, everything came at a price. It was a major shock to everyone the day Kagome invoked the rosary's powers. But of all the people, it startled Inuyasha the most, cutting at least 10 years from his total life span. He was after all the one who was going to be slammed into the ground.

FLASHBACK

"Inuyasha!" Kagome was really mad right now and no one wanted make her more agitated than she already was. She stormed down the path leading to Inuyasha, fire lighting up wherever she had walked on.

"INUYASHA! QUIT IGNORING ME!"

Inuyasha had said something that had made her inexplicably mad and he wasn't about to say sorry. Simply by walking on without turning back to look at the raging school-girl was making Kagome even more mad.

"INUYASHA! UGH! Why DON'T YOU JUST...JUST..." It was really obvious that she was trying to think up something to say that would make him turn around.

"WHY DON'T YOU JUST SIT!"

BAM

Sango and Miroku came running up to Kagome as quickly as they could. Kirara chasing after Sango, and catching up pretty quickly too.

"What happened here?"

Sango stared wide-eyed at Inuyasha who was now laying face down in a small ditch shaped like himself. Miroku staring in the same way Sango is.

"What.. What did happen here?"

"I-I really don't know..."

Kagome was really calm now, very different from a few seconds ago. She didn't understand what was going on, she was yelling at him...and then he got slammed into the ground. Looked kinda out of it too. Was he unconscious? Walking over to him, Kagome flipped the guy over. He had black swirls instead of eyes.

"He's unconscious." she announced

Sango and Miroku nodded in agreement. Even Kirara let out a mewl, she wanted to be part of this conversation too.

It wasn't until later that night after Kagome gave it some thought did it all make sense. She tested out the different words on him by calling to him.

"Hey! Inuyasha! Why! Don't! You! Just!...SIT!"

"Waaahhh!" The rosary glowed a bright green and pulled him to the ground. She waited a few moments so that Inuyasha so pick himself up off the ground.

"Why did you do that!"

"Oh wow that's neat! Sit boy!"

BAM

"Could you STOP?"

"Just a few more times...sit!"

BAM

"Sit?"

BAM

"Sit!"

BAM

Inuyasha was now attempting to get out from the hole in the ground, the one that was made from being 'sat'

"Alright then!" Kagome smiled, " I think I got the hang of it!"

END FLASHBACK

Ignoring the duo's screaming and cursing, Sango walked down the little trail to the nearest body of clean water. Splashing water on her face, she made sure she got all the dirt and grim from her cheeks before walking back to camp. Sleeping on the ground was not her thing.

The taijiya hummed quietly to herself and maintained her bright smile. Today was going to be a great day! She walked back down the trail, letting small skips appear in her steps. The distant sound of Inuyasha and Kagome's argument was getting louder, meaning she was getting closer to camp.

"STOP FOLLOWING ME ALREADY!"

The sound of her friend's angry voice drifted into her ears. Sango just kept smiling. Nothing was going to ruin her day. And she meant nothing not even that -

"Why good morning Sango! I see you're looking brighter than usual!"

SLAP

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!"

Miroku was now rubbing his abused cheek with an idiotic smile on his face, "Nothing, my dearest Sango, I just thought I saw some dust-"

"How could there be dust on my outfit when we are in a FIELD!"

"I'm sorry Sango! I meant dirt!"

"Oh I'm sure you did."

((Naraku))

"Those damned fools, what do they think they are doing, falling in love with the victims. And it doesn't even look like they are close to finishing up the jewel yet. But then again, how can they?"

Naraku smiled wickedly at the rather large chunk of the sacred jewel gleaming in his hand. It looked to be about a little more than half of the entire thing.

"It looks like this will not go according to my original plan. Time I stepped in I suppose. Hmm... First... About Kagura.."

Naraku walked over to another corner of the big room he was situated in. He glared at his wrist until the veins started to bulge out. They became bigger and started to form the shape of a sphere. But at last when it was done transforming, there was indeed, a live, pulsing heart connected to his wrist. He grinned evilly before giving the heart a good hard glare. That should have been enough to put Kagura into a coma or something.

"I wonder where I will find your dead body...Kagura?"

((Kagura))

The wind sorceress had landed in some remote mountain region and decided to stay there for a while. It would serve as a nice, and much needed, break. There was enough running around Japan. She was exhausted and Kohaku was getting paler by the trip. There was no telling how much longer both of them could last. It was while she was just wondering about Naraku did she feel the familiar pain coming from within her, from where her heart used to be.

"No.. He's really planning on killing me...well, what did I expect.."

Kagura clutched at the robes of her kimono as the pain increased little by little.

"Ughh Naraku... I...will ne..never.. Die at the ..hands of..you."

The demon tipped over from lack of air and from the pain that just won't stop. Despite all of that, she tried her best to keep a clear mind. If it was anything that could help ignoring the pain and thinking of something better always helped. From a distance, Kohaku saw Kagura writhing on the ground. On a closer inspection, she was gripping the fabric covering her chest... more to the left side of her chest.

He walked over to her, his innocence wasn't much of a help at the moment. But... for Kagura...

"What's this? Did Naraku suddenly go soft on me...? It doesn't hurt as much anymore..."

She looked up to see Kohaku staring hopelessly back at her. She shifted a little closer to him and found that the pain was slowly going away the closer she was to him. She frowned in frustration, it was weird what was happening. How did this boy stop Naraku from killing her?

"It must be the jewel shard he has in him. Its suppressing the pain that Naraku is giving me."

Kagura then did something relatively new to her, she smiled. Maybe the boy was going to be a lot more helpful than she first thought.

Inuyasha paused mid-step. He sniffed the air. Yeah, he was close alright. Really close.

"Catch anything Inuyasha?" Miroku's voice broke through the tension that usually surround the small group.

"Yeah. Naraku. He's close."

At the sound of his name, everyone instantly became dead serious. Naraku wasn't one to kid around. Kagome and Sango too wiped the smile off their faces. They heard how horrible Naraku was. They heard the reasons for why Inuyasha and Miroku wanted to kill him. Naraku was simply, a horrible, and devious guy.

They four of them continued, wandering down the path they were already on. It was obvious that Naraku wanted them to know where he was hiding, or else he wouldn't of made his scent so obvious to Inuyasha. They kept on walking right up until the point where Inuyasha was abruptly thrown back.

Kagome was the first person to run up to him.

"Inuyasha! Are you ok!"

"Damn him.."

Inuyasha got up and onto his feet in less than a second. He wasn't going to waste anytime at all if Naraku was involved. Inuyasha walked down the path again but was a little more cautious when nearing the Sakura tree.

"Here. Its right here."

Inuyasha pointed right down the path. That got him some weird looks from his companions.

"Whats there?"

"The barrier you idiots!"

"Of course, Even if Naraku goes easy on us, he's not going to drop his guard that far."

"Now what do we do then?"

"Hey Kagome?" Sango, her ever faithful friend turned towards her, eyes sparkling with pride for thinking up an actual good idea. "You have priestess powers right? Would you be able to break the barrier by shooting an arrow at it?"

"I.. I don't know."

Miroku, who heard the whole thing, walking up to the two girls, "I think that's a wonderful idea."

"But what if it doesn't-"

"Just do it already! You don't know if you don't even attempt!" Inuyasha was impatient already.

"Ok,ok...Well, here it goes.." Kagome loaded her bow with an arrow, took aim and drew it back as far as it could go. She released the arrow, feeling the familiar whoosh of the thing flying past her face at incredible speeds. The arrow hit the barrier and everything suddenly got a lot darker.

They could all see the shield melting away, revealing what was really on the other side. The whole time, they had been walking in an illusion. With the barrier gone, the purple smoke of the miasma began to drift freely out into the open air.

Inuyasha held a sleeve up to his sensitive nose. Why did evil villains have to put up poisonous gas type barriers to protect themselves? Why not have several hundred bodyguards instead?

Despite the fact that Inuyasha could give out any minute, they ventured on. Nothing was going to attack them. Nothing would be able to survive this miasma. The trees down the path had wilted. The lush green grass that was once there was now barren land. There was no sign of life anywhere.

"Well, At least Shippo isn't with us." Miroku stated, trying to lighten up the atmosphere. "We don't have to look out for him the whole time."

"..."

Miroku sighed, he should have known no one was going to answer him.

((Naraku))

"Keh. They've fallen right into the trap. As soon as they reach the castle doors, I will personally go out and meet them. They should be honoured to be killed by me. I rarely ever kill anyone or anything with my bare hands anymore."

Standing up, the hanyou brushed himself off and started for the door. He only just reached the sliding doors when he suddenly fell to the ground.

"What...the..."

All the sitting and shuffling around in the room had rendered his legs useless...for the time being. Seeing that he never used them, they had become jelly-like and are now not capable of carrying his weight.

"Cursed...human body..."

-End

Shorter chapter, But I'm already into working on the next chapter! Haha poor Naraku, I just love to make fun of him.. I don't mean it in any super harsh way to the Naraku-fans out there but well... he's just so evil.
