Chapter Ten:
Latmo was standing alone in the mist.
Latmo: Where is Inuyasha and Kagome? Why cant I pick up their scent. Why cant I pick up anyone's scent. It's as if the vanished from the earth. What am I going to do?
Kouga: Latmo?
Latmo: Kouga? Kouga!
She ran and jumped into his arms.
Latmo: Kouga I was so worried. Where were you? What happened?
Kouga: I don't know I went fishing and got lost in the mist.
Latmo: Oh Kouga it was terrible everyone is gone.
She then unburied her face in his chest and looked in his eyes. There was a faint red glow. It felt evil. She backed out of Kouga's arms.
Latmo: Kouga? You're not Kouga.
Fake Kouga: Yes, I know and you have to disappear like your friends, and you're beloved Kouga.
Latmo: What have you done with and Kouga and my friends?
Fake Kouga: You will soon find out.
The fake kouga charged at Latmo. She atomically drew her sword.
Latmo: I don't have time for this I have to find Kouga and the others. I better get this over quick.
She drew power to her sword and it had grown pink. The glow startled the fake Kouga, but it did not slow him down. She aimed the sword toward his and releases the pink powered energy ball. It hit him with a perfect aim. He blows into pieces, but the came back together. Latmo back shocked.
Latmo: What your still here.
Fake Kouga: You can't kill me. Now stop struggling and join you friends in a live time of slumber.
Latmo:Live time of slumber? What has he done to them? I will try the attack one more time.
She them again gave demotic power top the sword that caused a pink energy ball. She took aim and released. The demon blow up again but then pulled him self-back together.
Latmo:No matter how many times I strike him he will just regain back to it form. Wait Kouga told me about such demon. It's more likely the are just puppets and some smaller demon possibly with a shreds of the jewel. I have to find his demonic aura.
Latmo forced and looked around. She saw a faint glow to her right. The glow of the jewel shred.
Latmo: Ah there you are.
The demon saw that she was about to awaken her sword again and stood back. Aiming at him, she releases the ball at a bush. There was a cry and the demon vanished. Latmo ran to see who the on pull the puppet's string is. The was a snake barely living.
Latmo: Ah ha! I was right, and there is a jewel shard in bedded in his forehead.
Latmo use her sharp nails and cut it out. The snake the screamed in pain.
Latmo: So you are alive but not for long. Before I kill, you tell what you did with Kouga and my friends.
Snake demon: If I did tell you, you would not be able to save them. They had been placed in what I like to call a soul catcher.
Latmo: Explain yourself you vermin!
Snake demon: They were lord away with something there hearts desire of their or who the cared about deeply. Then they where trap by one of those thing and a soul bubble. The soul bubble poured out a mist where it put them to sleep. The longer they stay the souls live their body and I were to trap the soul and give it to my leader. To make sure they don't wake up the have sweet what seem like realty in their heads. After the souls have left, their dreams become evil where the are doomed to be … for… Eternity….
She shakes the demon awake.
Latmo: You mention a leader. Tell me who is he?
Snake demon: His name is Naraku. It too late to…save…your…fri…ends…the…only… way. Is
The snake demon then died.
Latmo: Damn! I wish he could have died after he told me how to save them. First, I have to find them in this mist maze. It seemed to have lightened up a bit.
