Last time: Kay, Michelle and InuYasha get thrown into the lake, and it starts to glow green. Naraku is resurrecting a demon!
Chapter 12: Yominokuni, The Hades Dragon
The lake was glowing a greenish yellow color and the lake started to rise, the glass like surface braking.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled, looking terrified. InuYasha, Kay and Michelle had been thrown into the water as sacrifices to resurrect a demon within it. Kagome rushed to the water and wanted to jump in, but steam was rising from the water, meaning it was hot. She watched the water impatiently and then large bubbles reached the surface.
A large snake like dragon broke the surface of the water, roaring and glaring at everyone. His body was black and had gray scales on his stomach. Silver scales would dot his body every so often, and his eyes were blood red. He had huge wings that reached a wingspan of 100 feet wide. His body was 200 feet long and had short arms and legs that seemed to only have three claws. He roared again, revealing teeth that was at least five and a half feet long. His tongue was purple and split, and he had a huge head.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled again. Kagome turned around and asked, "Kirara, can you go under the water and find InuYasha?" Kirara nodded and transformed, jumping into the water, which was by now cooled down enough to touch. Kagome turned to Charlie and said, "I need you to transform and fly me around that creature's head so I can shoot at it!"
Charlie transformed and allowed Kagome on his back after she got her bow and arrow, and he followed her instructions that she told him. He circled the dragon and Kagome waited for the right moment to shoot at it.
"Come to me, Yominokuni, dragon of hell!" Naraku yelled smirking. The dragon roared again and spread it's long wings, flapping them once. Then it roared again, and lifted up into the air, roaring in it's deep roar.
Kagome readied her bow and arrow and yelled, "Charlie! Fly in front of Naraku and let me face that dragon!"
Charlie nodded and flew in front of the waterfall, staying in midair. Kagome pulled on her arrow and glared at the demon, getting ready to attack it if it came.
Just then InuYasha jumped out of the water, followed by Kirara with Kay and Michelle on her back. InuYasha smirked and yelled, "WIND SCAR!" throwing his sword down to send the power of the Tetsusaiga towards the creature. But when it hit, it didn't do any damage!
"What the hell? What's going on!" InuYasha asked no one in particular.
Miroku gasped and looked on his shoulder to see a little bouncing flea. "Myoga? What are you doing here?" Miroku asked. "You haven't been around... ever. Even when it was safe."
"Actually, I've been around quite a bit. I was just hiding in a safe place," Myoga said.
"And where would that be?" Sango asked, looking at Myoga with a death glare.
"I was on the stomach of that rather large dog you call 'Charlie,'" Myoga said. "But about that dragon. It's name is Yominokuni, and it is said to be from hell," Myoga said, sitting down and making himself comfortable.
"Yominokuni, huh? That's easy to say," Kay said sarcastically as Kirara landed next to Miroku. "Where did you say you were? Jerk." Kay hit Miroku's shoulder hard and the monk and the flea both got hurt. "Anyway," Kay started, "why didn't the Wind Scar hurt it?"
Myoga popped back to normal and growled at Kay. "The Wind Scar didn't hurt it because Yominokuni is the Hades Dragon. It cannot be killed by anything demonic. The person who killed it so many years ago was Midoriko," Myoga said.
"The priestess from which the Shikon Jewel originated!" Kay said, recognizing the name.
"Yes. She killed the demon using her priestess powers. That is the only known way to kill that demon," Myoga said. Kay turned and pushed Michelle off of Kirara.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!" Michelle yelled as she rubbed her butt.
"Kirara! Go!" Kay said, and Kirara flew into the air. "Go over to InuYasha. We need to help him."
Kirara ran over to InuYasha and he was jumping up again, trying to attack this demon. Kay held out her hand and when they passed InuYasha she pulled on his shirt and pulled him onto Kirara.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" InuYasha yelled.
"Your sword won't work on Yominokuni. The only known people who can kill that dragon are priestesses," Kay explained to InuYasha. "That means you can't win. The only one who can is Kagome. Kirara, go over to Charlie and Kagome."
Kirara flew over to Kagome and Kay looked at Kagome seriously.
"Kagome, shoot an arrow into the dragon's mouth on my signal, OK?" Kay said, turning to look at Yominokuni. Kagome nodded and pulled on her arrow a little bit more.
"Yominokuni! Come and be a part of my body!" Naraku said, smirking.
The Hades Dragon turned and roared, and rose up into the air, higher. Kagome narrowed her eyes, getting ready to shoot her arrow. The dragon started to fly towards Naraku, coming closer and closer, roaring and growling. He opened his mouth in a roar, like he was going to try and eat Naraku, and came closer. He was fifty feet away. Forty feet. Thirty. Twenty. Ten.
"NOW!" Kay yelled when he was almost going to eat them up, it seemed. Kagome shot an arrow into his mouth and just when he was going to swallow them up, his body turned into ash, starting with his head.
Kay gave out a sigh as the demon disappeared. She turned around and glared at Naraku, as did InuYasha, Kagome, Kirara and Charlie. Kagome took another arrow and pulled it back. InuYasha got his sword ready and Kay held up a really pointy rock above his head (WTF!). Kagome shot her arrow and InuYasha used his Wind Scar, and Kay stabbed him with a really pointy rock. When the dust cleared it looked like nothing was there, because Naraku and Kagura were gone, and there were no gouges in the ground from the Wind Scar.
Kay carefully jumped onto the top of the waterfall, getting her pants and feet wet. Luckily the water wasn't moving fast enough to catch her off balance. She walked over to where Naraku and Kagura were, and looked around. "It's like they weren't even here..." Kay said, looking around.
InuYasha jumped near Kay and sniffed the air. "Their scent is gone too..." InuYasha said as he looked around.
Kay sighed and then walked back over to Kirara. "We should go back to Kaede's Village," Kay said, getting onto Kirara fairly easily.

The group traveled to Kaede's Village on the flying cat and dog. They made it to Kaede's Village after a few hours of flying, and it was almost noon by the time they made it to the village.
They landed in front of Kaede's hut and walked inside. Kay and Michelle turned to look at the chest to see that it was glowing slightly. The glow seemed to fill the room somehow, and Kaede was looking at the chest very strangely, like she was suspicious of it. And it looked like she was going to try and use a sutra on it.
Kay walked over to the chest and opened it, and the glow seemed to subside a bit, but it still shone ever so brightly. Kay smiled and looked at Michelle.
"It's time," she said, looking back into the chest. "Can you take the fluffy things, Michelle?"
Michelle nodded and picked up the fluffies from the chest, and Charlie jumped in the chest right away. Michelle smiled and followed, carrying the fluffies with her. Kay smiled a little bit and turned towards each and every one of them.
She walked over to Kirara and hugged her, making Kirara meow and lick Kay's face. Kay put her down and walked over to the chest and waved, but stopped.
Kay walked over to InuYasha and smiled. "Thank you so much, you guys. I can't thank you enough for helping us... So..." Kay started, addressing this to all of the group. "Just… Thank you. Thank you so much."
"I just want to apologize beforehand for this, InuYasha..." Kay said, turning to InuYasha.
She lifted up her hands and pulled on his ears, making him growl. Just as he looked like he was going to kill Kay, she ran over to the chest and gave a last wave before she jumped into the chest, disappearing for what would seem like forever.
Next time: Kay and Michelle find themselves back in their own world, wondering if what really happened was real.
Kay: InuYasha's ears are so fuzzy!
Michelle: You touched his ears!
Kay: Yeah, so?
Michelle: Now I'm sad. I've always wanted to touch his ears.
Kay: I wish Charlie had those kind of ears... They were so soft.
Charlie: Don't bring me into this. Read the last chapter: Was it Real?
Note: Wow! You visited Minnesota, Kirarafourseasons or whatever your name is? That's awesome! Because I live there! So cool!
