S-H: So sorry again for not updating in like, ever. TT

Akiya took Sango through the corridors, silently, but quickly. It seemed that Sango's leg was getting better, but nonetheless, it was still in bad condition. "Where exactly may we be going?" Sango inquired restlessly.

"Just relax, and keep your guard up. Don't let anything catch you off guard." Akiya said quietly. Sango quickly nodded her head.

Soon, all the corridors started to look different. There were higher ceilings and much fancier décor. All the scales on the walls were gold plated and shining brightly under the dim light of the lantern that Akiya held.

"We're here…" Akiya said quietly to Sango as there was a humongous opening in the corridor.

Sango looked up in amazement. "How could something so deadly look so beautiful…?"

The next room was covered with precious metals and gems, the walls were beautifully embroidered with pearls and sapphires. The floor was plated with different mixtures of bronze, silver and gold sparkling under the bright light that was radiating from the ceiling.

Then, Sango spotted Inuyasha. He was decorated with many rare gems all over his robe, and there was a brilliant crown resting between his ears. But there was a lifeless look in his eyes. "Why in the world would someone decorate their sacrifice if they're going to be killed…?"

"Hide!" Akiya screamed in a whisper to Sango. She pushed Sango into the shadows, and ran quickly into the room.

Sango moved more towards the entrance of the room, and she was able to see Akiya and the terrible Siren. "That Siren will die…" Then, Sango saw Kirara being pulled into the room by some sort of fish demon. "Kirara…"

She readily got up and sprinted into the room. "You let both Kirara and Inuyasha go!" Sango screamed at the Siren angrily. Her Hiraikotsu was in front of her, ready to be thrown at the Siren.

Akiya looked at Sango in disbelief. Then, the Siren read Akiya's mind.

"So, Akiya, you thought it would be okay to smuggle a human in here, when I deliberately told you to dispose of all living creatures from the other side!" The Siren was fuming with anger. "You will die now!"

Some of the scales that plated the walls came off and were sharpened with a mean point. Then, the scales shot off, and they pierced Akiya's skin numerous times.

Sango watched in horror as a new acquaintance was killed right before her eyes. It was like seeing her whole family be killed by Kohaku, once again.

Akiya fell to the floor as a green blood drained out of her skin. "S-Sango…" Akiya sputtered with her last breaths of life, "Set us all free from the Siren…" And then, Akiya was dead.

Sango looked up at the Siren with fire in her eyes. "You killed one of your own…And by your own choice. You damned creature!" Sango took her Hiraikotsu and swung it at the Siren with all her might.

The large boomerang hit the Siren right smack in the stomach. Acid sputtered out of the Siren's mouth, and burned a large hole in her throne.

"You filthy little wench, you dare attack me! You too will join Akiya in her death, and your friends will follow soon after!" The Siren screamed at Sango. The Siren's long tail came out, and attacked Sango.

The tail pushed Sango to the wall, breaking almost all of her bones.

Inuyasha's dead sight could see things, but he couldn't feel it. But, when he saw Sango almost murdered by the foul Siren, his feelings couldn't take it anymore. Life returned back to Inuyasha's eyes, and he glared at the Siren. "You're a damned creature alright, and you're gonna die!"

He got up and ripped some of the diamonds off his robe. "Take back your stupid gems!" Inuyasha flung the diamonds at the Siren forcefully, and the diamonds all pierced the Siren's skin.

The Siren screamed out in agony as green blood sputtered out of her wounds.

Inuyasha took off the crown and threw it to the floor, and he took out his Tetsusaiga. "You deserve to die, killing other innocent people, for no significant reason."

The Tetsusaiga transformed, and Inuyasha glared at the Siren. "Now it's your turn to die!" He lunged at the Siren as she pulled back her tail.

She swung her tail at Inuyasha and she pinned him to the wall. Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga fell to the floor below and landed with a clatter.

Sango could barely see what's going on, but she heard the clatter of the Tetsusaiga on the floor. "No…He can't change now…" She said out loud.

S-H: Pretty good for just one chapter huh? I promise the next chapter will get even better!
