And now, the Inuyasha of Oz…

"I will get you Kagome, and your little dog…thing too!" The Wicked Witch's voice rang throughout the castle. "Where are they now?" The mirror obligingly cleared to show Kagome teasing the Inu-lion. "Excellent. I shall send the monkey."


"Would you stop that!" Kagome pouted and stopped skipping.

"I'm just happy."

"Well it's creepy." The Inu-lion shivered. "And that tin thing is scary…"

"Wow, you really are a coward! They're obviously not going to hurt us.

"What about you? You look pretty weird." Kagome glowered.

"And you're exactly the same! Hmph."

"Huh?" The Inu-lion stared at her confusedly, but Kagome refused to turn and look at him. "Whatever."

"Ooh, that is so like you, you-AAAH!" Inu-lion leapt behind Ryu-crow and watched fearfully as a large twinkie-shaped object with bat wings carried Kagome away in its mouth.

"D-don't eat me," he whimpered.

"Hachi?" gasped Kagome. "What on earth?" Kagome peered over Hachi's teeth. "INUYASHA! SAVE ME!" The Inu-lion blinked.

"What's an Inuyasha?" Kagome turned bright red out of anger.

"SIT!" Inu-lion slammed into Ryu-crow's side. Ryu-crow did not appreciate this, and tossed him into Tin-kotsu, who poked Inu-lion with a sharp metal foot.

"Ryu-crow and Tin-kotsu save Dorothy!" yelled Ryu-crow.

"IT'S KAGOME!"


Winged Hachi carried Kagome away from the yellow brick road and up to a giant castle.

"This can't be Naraku's castle! Who am I going to meet now?" They flew into a tower and landed in a familiar looking room. Kagome hopped excitedly out of Hachi's mouth. "I can't wait to find out who the Wicked Witch is!"

"I am excited to meet you as well." Kagome's eyes widened as fog filled the room.

"That voice…" The mist cleared, and the Wicked Witch smiled.

"I wanted to meet my sister's killer. I'll have that bow, now."

"But you're Kikyou…you're dead!" Wicked Kikyou shook her head.

"I am not my sister."

"T-two Kikyou's? But…oh! I get it. The Wicked Witch of the East is Kikyou when she was alive and with Inuyasha, and you're dead Kikyou!"

"Stop rambling and give me that bow." Wicked Kikyou reached out to touch it, but the bow spat out pure purple sparks and rejected her. "Impossible! It's mine!"

"Dor…er…Kagome! We… come," slurred Ryu-crow as he slithered through the door. Tin-kotsu clanged along behind him with the terrified Inu-lion thrown over his shoulder.

"Yersh."

"Oh, you guys! I feel bad for letting Inuyasha kill you now…well, not really." Kagome's eyes shone with tears as she praised them.

"Get out!" screamed Kikyou. She threw her hands out and Ryu-crow and Tin-kotsu were tossed through the doorway. Unfortunately for Inu-lion's head, he slammed into the top of the door and flew forward instead.

"Inuya…lion! Throw water on her, she'll melt!" Kikyou wrapped her hands around Kagome's throat, but Kagome held onto the bow.

"W-water?" stammered Inu-lion nervously. Tin-kotsu began to bang on the door, causing him to jump. "Water! Okay!" The Inu-lion trotted over to Kikyou and blue-faced Kagome. Then he lifted his leg and peed on Kikyou's feet. Smoke began to rise, and Kikyou released Kagome.

"I'm melting! I'm melting! Damn yooooooou…" she disappeared into a puddle.

"You…you did it!" gasped Kagome. "Inu-lion? She's dead, you can stop now."

"Just a sec."

"…ew…"
