Chapter 5: A Condemned Fate
Inuyasha ran into the
fairly large house to find a room with nothing but a table and a
piece of wood. Everyone ran in after him. Fae walked to the table and
picked up the wood. It looked like a tuning fork, yet in wood.
"What
is it?" Fae asked, examining the wood.
"It's a
puppet." Miroku explained.
"A...puppet? But how!"
Fae asked in surprise.
"Naraku puts a spell on that and it
conjures up, not himself, but a puppet of himself in a baboon-like
outfit." Miroku replied.
"Oh! That's a neat trick!"
Fae said in amusement.
"Yeah, when he's not an enemy."
Inuyasha stated.
Suddenly, the wood jumped from Fae's hands and
fell on it's legs onto the floor, and it stood!
"Oh my
god!" Fae shouted. Everyone turned to the wood. The wood then
revived into what Miroku spoke of.
"You damn coward! Come
out and fight!" Inuyasha yelled. The room filled with the
sound of wasps.
Out of nowhere, an eerie voice echoed through the
room.
"Now why would I want to spoil the fun like that?"
The voice called.
"Naraku, show yourself!" Inuyasha
yelled in anger.
"But I want to play!" Naraku hissed.
His puppet suddenly pulled out a sword.
"How the hell? Where
were you hiding that thing? Up your ass?" Fae asked and
chuckled at her own amusement.
"Don't you wish. Now, who
shall play my game in my house?" Naraku asked.
"Pfft!
If it's your house, then why not be here in person you fucking
maniac!" Fae yelled.
"Fae it is!" Naraku said,
and grinned evilly. He lunged at Fae, who at the last second leapt
out of his range. It was amazing how fast she moved, being human and
all.
"Nice move. Your turn." Naraku said.
"You're
going to have to try harder you mother fucker!" Fae urgently
started to glow blue. With a swift move, Fae pulled a sword from thin
air! She faded to her original color, yet had a strong aura around
herself.
"Holy hell!" Inuyasha gasped.
"Why,
do we have a witch in our midst?" Naraku said and laughed his
maniacal, evil laugh.
"No, but you sure as hell are in
trouble!" Fae yelled and lunged at the puppet. With one swipe,
Fae cut off the puppets arm that held his weapon. But once the arm
hit the ground, something that seemed like huge tree roots shot out
of the whole where his arm once was!
"You have to chop off
the head!" Kagome yelled from behind.
"Easier said
than done, but here it goes!" Fae screamed and yet again threw
herself at the puppet. This time, the puppet shifted and grabbed her
leg. The roots held her upside down, yet she still held the sword.
Fae swiped at the roots two times until saying, "fuck you!"
She then cut the roots from her ankle, flipped in the air, and cut
off the puppet's head. She landed on the floor on one knee with her
sword that landed in the ground. The sword disappeared after a
minute. Fae got up as her friends rushed to her side with awed
expressions.
"How the hell did you do that!" Inuyasha
asked in bewilderment.
"I don't know, but that was awesome!"
Fae said, jumping up in the air.
"You can say that again!"
Miroku said.
"But not literally!" Kagome said, in
panic that she might actually say it again.
"But I thought
you were merely human?" Sango said in question.
"I
don't feel inhuman." Fae said, patting herself, just to make
sure she didn't grow an extra arm or something.
"You look
and smell like a human also! Maybe she's a priestess?" Inuyasha
questioned.
"I don't think she is. I would be able to tell."
Kagome said, a little jealous of Fae.
"I don't think I am
either. Maybe Naraku was right! Maybe I'm a witch?" Fae asked
in a question/statement sort of way.
"But aren't witches
supposed to have green skin and warts?" Shippo asked.
"I
don't think that's true. I think those are just tales." Fae
stated her opinion.
"Well, for now that's what we shall call
your powers. But, we need to find Naraku!" Inuyasha said
impatiently.
"Inuyasha! Fae needs her rest! Give her time,
for she did slay that puppet." Miroku said kindly, walking up
behind Fae.
"Why thank you-"but Fae broke off in her
words when her faced turned red and she twitched her eye. sweat
drop She glared at Miroku and then slapped him, for he had stroked
her butt.
A red handprint appeared on Miroku's cheek.
"Miroku!"
Sango said in agony.
Everyone shook their heads at his
stupidity.
"Sorry Fae. He does that to woman." Kagome
apologized.
Kagome and Sango glared at Miroku evilly.
"At
least he didn't ask her the question." Shippo said, shaking his
head. Suddenly, a smile grew on Miroku's face. He hopped in front of
Fae and took her hand.
"Will you bear me a child?"
Miroku asked. Sango banged him on the head with her Hirikotsu.
"Never mind!" Shippo said.
"Miroku, grow
up!" Inuyasha said. Miroku grew a guilty grin as Fae looked
dazzled as her eye twitched repeatedly.
"You should put a
spell on him." Kagome admitted.
"Oh, don't I wish I
knew how to." Fae grew an evil smile. Miroku hid behind Sango.
"Sango, protect me!" Miroku begged in fear.
"It's
your own fault, monk." Sango said, everyone but Miroku laughed.
