Last time: Naraku popped up from no where and attacked the group, though not putting up a very good fight and leaving soon after. Kay found out that InuYasha's brother, Sesshoumaru, is in possesion of the chest that the two girls seek.

Chapter 8: Raiding Castles and Kanna's Hair

"Y-your brother? Sesshoumaru? H-how are w-we gonna get it from him!" yelled Kay, waking up almost everyone.

"I don't know how we're supposed to get it," InuYasha answered.

"HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET HOME, DAMMIT! YOUR BROTHER HAS THE DAMN CHEST AND WE CAN'T GET TO IT!" Kay yelled at the top of her lungs, waking even Michelle.

"Chest? You mean like the chest that we went through to get here?" Michelle asked.

"Yes! Sesshoumaru has the damn chest!" Kay yelled at her friend.

"Sesshoumaru?"

"Yes! That dog demon that wears make-up and kills people with a sweep of his claws!" Kay screamed. She sighed and put her head in her hands, starting to cry silent tears. Kay blocked out her thoughts and started to swear inside her head, arguing with herself on what to do.

Her tears stopped as abruptly as they started and she wiped the last of them away.

"Why don't we steal the chest?" Kay asked, smirking.

"I don't see why we wouldn't be able to do it. I mean, it would be a fairly simple thing to do. We could have a group of people keep Sesshoumaru busy while the others search his castle for the chest," Miroku said, nodding. "I think it would work..."

"Are you nuts!" InuYasha yelled.

"Michelle, Charlie, Kagome, Shippo and I could go search his castle, and Sango, Miroku, Kirara and InuYasha would keep him occupied," Kay said, smiling big enough to fit her foot inside.

"Wait, wait! Back up! Sesshoumaru has a castle?" Michelle said, looking as confused as a cow in a chicken coop.

Kay looked at Michelle carefully and said, "He's the Lord of the Western Lands, you douche. Why wouldn't he have a castle?"

"Wait! He's the Lord of the Western Lands!" Michelle said, bewildered. "Wait... douche! Oh yeah? Oh yeah!"

"Why wouldn't he be? His father was. Idiot. And that was a really good comeback," Kay said, sighing and folding her arms.

Michelle blinked and then folded her arms. "How was I supposed to know?" Michelle asked, knowing perfectly how she was.

Kay rolled her eyes and then said, "Well, we have to get to Sesshoumaru's castle. Where exactly is the castle? I know it's in the west, but where?"

"I'm not sure, but I'm fairly certain that he has one," InuYasha said. He stood up and turned westward and said, "Well, we should get going. If we want to get to his castle within three days, we should leave."

Kay smiled and nodded, standing up also. Charlie transformed and let Kay and Michelle get on him. He started to walk a little bit and then jumped up, moving up into the air. He stopped and looked down.

"You coming?" Michelle asked.

"Charlie, in order to get InuYasha and Kagome on you, you have to be on the ground," Kay said, tapping Charlie on his head.

Charlie gave an odd sound, and he landed on the ground, allowing Kagome and InuYasha to get on his back. Charlie jumped up again and then Kirara followed him.

"What exactly are we looking for?" Kay asked as she looked on the ground.

"A castle," Michelle said smartly.

"Well, duh. But really, what are we supposed to be searching for? Anything special?" Kay asked.

"I dunno. I've never seen his castle," InuYasha said, looking around also.

"Hm... Oh well," Kay said, still searching.

Man, talk about out of touch. Where's the love? Michelle asked Kay with her mind.

I think it went down the drain with the rest of their family, Kay answered using her own mind.

"Hey, what's that?" Shippo said, pointing to the ground.

"A rock," Miroku answered.

"No, farther up," he growled.

"I see it too!" Sango said.

"I see better things than that," Miroku said, touching Sango's butt.

"PERVERT!" yelled Sango. She then slapped him and made him almost fall off Kirara.

"Wait, I see what Shippo was talking about," Kagome said, looking out in the distance.

"C'mon Charlie, get over there as fast as possible. Then you can get home and see mom," Kay said, patting her dog.

Charlie sped up and Kirara followed. They flew as fast as they could towards the object in the distance and soon enough they were landing in front of it, stretching and getting ready to raid the castle.

"That was surprisingly quick. I thought we would be traveling for another day or so. I mean, it seemed almost too easy. But it wasn't. And now we're here. In front of Sesshoumaru's castle. And we're going to go inside any second now. And then we can go home," Kay said, looking at the castle.

"I don't smell Sesshoumaru. I smell Naraku..." InuYasha said, growling.

"Well, that's a bitch!" Michelle said, folding her arms.

"Should we go fight him?" Kay asked.

"Yeah!" InuYasha said, running towards the castle. The others did the same and they ran inside, finding themselves in a large courtyard. They looked around and saw... A blue haired demon? She walked forward, holding a mirror at her side in her right hand and in her left she held a piece of paper.

"Is that... Kanna!" Kay said, bewildered at the electric blue hair on the girl.

Everyone looked at her, amazed at what they saw.

"Hi, guys! I made you a picture!" Kanna said, holding up a picture. She ran towards them and handed the picture to Kay, and she looked at it. It was actually quite good, and was of the new InuYasha group, Kay, Michelle and Charlie included.

"Hey, Shippo, you'll have to work on your drawings. Kanna is almost as good as you!" Kay said, smiling at the young fox demon.

"Why are you giving us presents?" InuYasha asked as he tried to get over the fact that KANNA'S HAIR WAS BLUE.

"Holy hell," Michelle said as she eyed the blue hair.

"I asked Naraku for a castle, and he gave me one! He said that he needed to study me, and figure out why I was so HAPPY!" Kanna said excitedly.

"Well, that's nice..." Kay said, looking at Kanna.

"You're happy?" Michelle asked.

"YES, I AM DAMMIT! JUST SHUT THE HELL UP AND AGREE WITH ME!" Kanna yelled, making her face red.

"OK! You're happy! Just calm down!" Kay said.

"It seems that your words have had a large influence on Naraku's incarnation," Miroku said, eyeing the blue hair. "Blue is quite an interesting color for you."

"Thanks!" Kanna said, smiling widely.

"Do you know where Sesshoumaru's castle is?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah! It's that way!" Kanna said, pointing one way. "And it's big, and brown. And it'll take you a couple hours to get there if you fly."

"Thanks," Kay said as she started to walk out.

"Hey! Thanks for making me laugh! And do you have any more jokes?" Kanna asked.

"Yeah," Michelle started. "Shut the $#! up."

Kanna started laughing and Michelle ran up to Kay, who was already outside.

"How come my $#! was beeped out?" Michelle asked.

"Because they never say that on this show," Kay said, looking at the door and waiting for the others to come out. "Actually, they never even say it on TV."

"Oh..."

"Idiot."

InuYasha and the others walked out of the castle and they set off again, heading in the direction that Kanna told them to. They all wondered if they should trust her, but they agreed that it was probably OK, and if it was a trap, they would all die. Either way, they were fine.

- - -

Soon they saw a big, brown castle, like all the other castles in this era, and they fell down to the ground. Night had just fallen and they walked towards the castle, looking out for Sesshoumaru.

They walked inside, looking around and then split up, InuYasha, Sango, Miroku and Kirara towards where Sesshoumaru was and Kay, Michelle, Kagome, Shippo and Charlie went the other way, looking for the chest. InuYasha's group was led by his nose, so they were sure to find Sesshoumaru, and InuYasha said he was in this castle at the moment.

Kay led them through the castle, looking around and looking into every room they came to. None of them had the chest they were looking for.

They looked in a room with nothing special inside of it except for a few pillows on the floor and a bed much like Priestess Kaede's. A girl sat in the room, sitting on one of the pillows and wearing an old kimono.

"That's Rin!" Kay said in a hushed voice.

Rin looked up and smiled. "Hello! Are you here to play with Rin?"

"We're here to find something. It will help my friend and I get home," Kay said, pointing to Michelle and herself. "Have you seen a chest? It's brown and very old, and it's also got old looking wood, and is very heavy."

"Yes, I have. Would you like Rin to show it to you?" Rin asked, looking happy.

"Sure. That would be great," Kay said, smiling. Rin grabbed her hand and pulled Kay out into the hall and down it, leading her past many rooms.

- - -

InuYasha took out his Tetsusaiga and jumped towards Sesshoumaru standing in front of him. Sesshoumaru quickly moved and then sent his own sword at InuYasha, but barely missed.

The clashing of swords between the two brothers went on and on, and everyone except for Sesshoumaru was wondering where the others were.

"InuYasha, your tactics are very sloppy," Sesshoumaru said as he blocked an attack easily.

"You bastard!" InuYasha said, taking another strike at his brother, but having it blocked by him. InuYasha growled and took another whack at his brother, but the same thing happened.

Sesshoumaru finally stopped blocking and swung his sword skillfully at InuYasha, and had it blocked. But he managed to push his brother into a far wall.

Next time: A battle rages inside Sesshoumaru's castle and Michelle and Kay continue to search for the chest, with the help of Rin. After they get it, they get captured, and Michelle gets and unexpected surprise!

Kay: Ew! Naraku's touching me!

Michelle: Gross! At least you didn't get that 'unexpected surprise'. Oh my God, I think I'm gonna throw up.

Naraku: What's so bad about me touching you?

Kay: That sounded so wrong.

Michelle: On so many levels.

Naraku: Ha ha ha! You must read the next chapter, Captured by Naraku, or die!
