Hey guys! It's not even near my bedtime from when I am writing this now, yet I feel soo bored, so I decided to try and update even more! Hope you like it. Read and review after please!
Chapter 17:And We Meet AgainChessboard Room…
"Hermionie, Harry, Ron…? What are you doing here?" Kagome questioned incredously, her voice cutting off Sango and silencing them all.
Hermionie first got off the very top of the pile, getting helped up by Harry, who had appeared through the door after his two classmates had fallen. Ron got off afterwards.
Before they started to answer, Hermionie rolled her eyes, "Ron, there's a worm in your hair"
"Wh-What? A worm?" Ron's eyes widened as he started yelled, rubbing at his head so the creature would come off.
The professors and Yusuke stared at him with questioning gazes.
"Is it off?" Ron stopped moving to ask, a bit hesitant for some odd reason.
They didn't have to reply as the worm slid all the way down his face, down his chin, then fell off.
"Yeah…" Harry replied afterwards, "What are you doing here?" He stared the 4 down with his scrutiny.
Kurama cleared his throat, "We have some suspicions we want to confirm, but what we should really be asking is, what are you doing here?"
"Eh…hehehe…" Ron scratched the back of his head nervously, fidgeting and staring at the soles of his shoes, "Well, it's quite simple really…"
Hermionie never really did like to lie, "For the same reason as you guys…" She stated hesitantly.
Yusuke snorted and the professors slowly nodded in a somewhat better understanding. Besides, Kagome and Sango had felt their presence during some of their conversations and during the conference. What really was the harm in letting them listen?
Kagome sighed along with Sango, "We're only checking around the area, so I suppose you guys could come with us"
Yusuke stared at them and then whispered to Kurama, asking for the fox to do something that the punk would almost, never do, but for some reason, wanted to do it this time.
Kurama nodded, "And for being brave enough to actually come down here and get this far, I guess you could get around 5 points each to all of you"
They smiled, triumphant that they got some points.
"Now…how do we get past here?" Sango asked, waking up to the front of the row of pawns with two swords.
Within a meter of them, the stone structures suddenly jerked to life and drew their swords, crossing them in an 'X' shape, indicating that they couldn't cross.
"Ahh!" Sango yelled out, startled. In one quick motion, the demon slayer summoned her sword and slashed back…chopping the statue's arms off…
It then bolted forwards towards her!
"Sango!" Yusuke yelled out, pushing her out of the way before she could get hit. The pawn smashed into another statue across the floor.
There was a bit of cracking sounds, then instantly, all the enemy chessboard pieces came to life and started to attack.
"Everyone! Try and defend yourselves!" Kagome shouted out over the noise.
Sango shakily stood up, wiping the blood out of the corner of her mouth that was dripping a bit. Instead, it just smeared all over her cheek. She then hastily picked up the sword that had clattered across the floor when Yusuke had saved her.
He was on his knees, panting heavily.
"Rose whip!" Kurama took a rose out of his hair and transformed it into a thorn whip, beginning to lash out at a nearly knight.
Kagome took out her bow and arrows, shooting the arrows aimlessly at the enemies. They burned holes through the stone, the smell of burning rubber filling heir lungs.
"Spirit gun!" Yusuke took aim and shot at the crowd, taking down two nearly pawns.
Ron had this misty-eyed expression on his face, one that he only got when one – he was fascinated, or two – when he was panicking.
When a bishop hit the Weasley, he fell to the floor, unconscious, Hermionie screaming out his name and rushing over to him, "Harry! – Could you try and do this? I need to take care of Ron!"
"O-Okay…" Harry snapped out of his daze from watching this new type of 'magic' the professors displayed along with Yusuke when a castle rushed up to him, "Ahh! St---"
He gathered up his nerves again and drew his want, pointing it directly at the approaching chess piece, "Stupefy!"
I flash of light shot of the end if his want and deflected off the glossy surface of the structure.
"Stupefy! Stupefy-Relashio-Stupefy!"
Among the many spells he had randomly shot out, sparks flying out the tip of his wand, one of them had passed through the hole Kagome's arrow and punctured and spun around inside. Harry had to shield his eyes and the piece exploded.
"AHH!" A shriek emitted from Hermionie.
Harry whirled around and pointed his wand with more confidence, aiming for the hole in the knight's stomach that was rapidly racing to his wand less friends, "Impedimenta!"
The piece exploded on contact. That spell seemed to work better.
"Hey! What's this?" Yusuke took out a sparkling red orb from his robe pockets, "OH yeah! I took this from the conference with the toddler!" He exclaimed in realization. Yusuke stood up to show it to Kurama, but tripped over a bit of rubble and it flew out of his hand, shattering against the king and queens side.
The occupants of the room coughed as a red fog swirled around them, dissipating rapidly, and leaving not a single sign that anything had happened. The chessboard and its' pieces were gone.
"Hey…" Sango's voice echoed throughout the empty room.
"Look at this" Kagome gingerly picked up the reformed red orb and spun it around in her hand. The miko showed it to everyone.
Inside the orbs, was nearly everything that had been inside this room… From the dust to the shattered pieces of rock.
Sango coughed up some blood, she had taken a puncture in the ribs and a twisted ankle. The demon exterminator crawled up to Ron, who was just unconscious with blood running down his forehead.
Hermionie was breathing heavily, hunched over him, her back all scratched up from shielding Ron from the explosion. A tiny blood puddle started gathering on the floor, mixing with the dirt.
Kurama had a large gash across his left leg and right ankle, rendering him pretty helpless on the walking part. It would take an extreme amount of pain to move around by foot.
He then dragged himself across the room to the three injured people, fishing some herbs out of his hair and robes to use, creating a temporary patch for their wounds, at least, until they could get out of here.
Harry and Kagome, for the most part, was just a bit scratched up.
"I-I think that this is something more than suspicion. There's something going on here. I can feel it" Yusuke coughed, wincing as a cut up area on his stomach started to get infected with dirt, "It would be best to try and keep on going, something's going to happen tonight…"
Everyone else nodded their head in agreement.
Sighing, Kagome lifted Hermionie onto her back, supporting the girls weight on her shoulders, and began walking to the door.
Kurama applied a painkiller to his legs and helped Ron onto his back. Yusuke took up Sango. Harry walked alongside with them, supporting Ron a bit too.
It was time to move on.
