Chapter 6: Tempting Fate

"Kagome, I don't hate you...I never would." Inuyasha said softly.

Kagome blushed slightly, thinking that maybe he liked her.

"W-well..I don't really care no more. Let's just go, okay?" she said quietly.

"Sure.."

Kagome and Inuyasha left and went over to Sango and Miroku's side of the plains.

"Hey, hey MIROKU!" Inuyasha shouted. "Get your perverted face off the grass."

Miroku was sleeping face-flat on the grass, almost as if he was eating it.

Miroku woke up when Sango smashed a boulder down on him.

"AUGHGH!" Miroku woke up with a painful jump-start for the night.

"Ughh..damn, Miroku, is that DROOL I see?" Kagome said disgustingly.

"Let's go, guys..I'm starting to feel quite chilly even if you aren't." Sango said as she shivered.

Later on, the gang walks through a fog of mist through a path to the highland mountain.

Suddenly, Inuyasha took Kagome's hand in his.

"Ehh?" Kagome said facing him.

"I don't want to lose you in this fog..." he mumbled. "Just hold on."

"S-sure." Kagome said turning pink.

She was glad the view wasn't that great. She didn't want nobody to see she enjoyed holding Inuyasha's hands. But then again, even if he did like her, he would never tell probably. That's what Kagome thought anyway.

"Heyy, GUYSS!" Miroku shouted. "Where are you?"

"Uh..we're right here Miroku." the gang said sweating.

Kirara, who Sango was riding on, kicked Miroku down accidently when they couldn't see him.

"Ow." Miroku said plainly.

"Oh, get up." Sango said. She saw him as the mist cleared a little, and made him ride on Kirara also.

—Later as the fog clears—

"Inuyasha! This place looks creepy..." Kagome said softly.

"Huh? It's not even scary. Don't be a baby." Inuyasha replied.

"WHAT? But..but...how can this NOT BE SCARY?"

The barren place the gang had wandered to was filled with blood. Blood smeared everywhere. It was the saddest and gloomiest village they had ever seen. There was dust that drew tears to people's eyes.

"Ugh.." Kagome said. She felt like she was going to HURL, the scene was so bad.

MEAT, FLESH, HUMAN FLESH, was all over the place. It was as if gangs of monstrous youkais had evaded the place and TORE it up with claws, fangs, and all.

"Let's get OUT of here," Kagome whined.

"Well, yeah..we should." Sango agreed. "This village is badly destroyed. We can't even give our prayers to the dead!"

"There's no corpses of the villagers around. Only..pieces of FLESH.." Miroku stated.

"Keh! So WHAT. It's not like we're the gods of justice." Inuyasha scoffed.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome said. "That's a horrible thing to say. Don't you feel any pity for these poor humans?"

"Hmph." Inuyasha walked ahead with Miroku.

Sango stayed back with Kagome.

"Kagome, I think it'll be best if you ride with us." Sango said.

The blood was really drenched onto the ground floor and it was probably best not to step on it. The stench of blood would be EVERYWHERE.

"Sure. Arigato, Sango-chan." Kagome said smiling.

Kirara flew Sango and Kagome towards Miroku.

"Sango, Kagome!" Miroku's voice shouted.

"Yes?" they both asked.

"Come take a look at this!"

"Peh. There's nothing great about it. It's probably gonna drown you somewhere if you went through." Inuyasha said.

Miroku had discovered a portal, odd enough, in the middle of the air. It floated about a few feet off the ground but was still easy to reach.

"Want to go check it out?" Miroku said anxiously.

"It'd be best if we didn't..." Kagome and Sango said together.

"It really doesn't matter. Just go see." Inuyasha said.

"Well..then..I guess it's okay..." both of them said.

Still, Kagome and Sango gave each other uncertained looks. As if, the portal, was DANGEROUS. After all, where would it lead them? To good or to worse, whichever path it led to, it just might be DOOM.

"Well then, LET'S GO!" Miroku shouted. "Uh..one thing. Can I hitch a ride with you two beautifuls?"

Sango and Kagome rolled their eyes.

"Come on, then."

"I'm going in then." Inuyasha said.

Inuyasha jumped in. Then, Kirara went in also. At first, the view wasn't clear. But soon enough, the view was cleary seen.

"EHHH!" Kagome shouted.

She was the first to look down. The first to see it. The first to notice...HELL! It was like flames. The lava was blowing bubbles and the heat was radiating greatly.

"AUGH!" Inuyasha quickly was saved by Kirara. Kirara had never had much weight on, so Sango was pitying her.

WHAM! Both girls slugged Miroku and Inuyasha punched him on the head also. Everyone was screaming their lungs out and thought why they every listened to him.

"It wasn't MY fault...Ow." he said.

"KEH! Now we have to look for the way out." Inuyasha said.

"Yeah." Kagome agreed.

"AH! I see another portal!" Miroku said.

"Wow, houshi..you're good at spotting the portals, huh?" Sango said with sarcasm.

Kirara went over to the portal and went through again.

Whooosh. Kirara passed through the portal again. Strange enough, it didn't feel hot like before. As a matter of fact. It wasn't even WARM. IT WAS FREEZING COLD!

"Aiiee.." Kagome shivered.

"T-this is so cold..Too cold.." Sango said.

"W-WHERE THE HELL IS THIS!" Inuyasha demanded angrily.

"H-hey now, don't look at ME!" Miroku said sweatting.

—Few minutes later after beating Miroku—

"But wow...the snow looks really nice." Kagome said amazed.

"Sure, sure. Here we are, trapped in a BLIZZARD of SNOW STORM, and you're gawking over it's looks." Inuyasha scoffed. "How great.."

"WELL! It is pretty nice you know.." she muttered.

"AH! I see-----" Miroku started.

Miroku was cut off in his sentence by Inuyasha.

"Wait, wait, let me guess...you see ANOTHER FREAKKIIN DAMNED PORTAL?" Inuyasha shouted.

Miroku nodded, too scared to speak. Still, it was him who was saving the gangs life from natural hazards.

"Well, where is it?" Kagome asked.

"Let's just go.." Sango said. "This is too cold for Kirara too."

She was right. Kirara seemed to be shivering slightly, although she usually never did.

"Poor Kirara..." Kagome thought. "She has to carry us all around for now, and it's cold..Hopefully the next place will be outta here!"

Sure enough, Kirara had brought the gang over to the portal. She was about to go in, but was stopped.

"WAIT!" Miroku said suddenly.

"Huh? What is it?" Kagome asked confused.

"Well..I was just going to say a few things."

"Then, go on..." Sango said.

Miroku heaved a cough into his fist, clearing his throat.

"AHEM! AHEM!"

"AHEM! AH-AHEM!" he cleared his throat some more.

"QUIT WASTING OUR TIME AND GET ON WITH IT!" Inuyasha snapped.

It was true though. It was cold, and the weather and pain for Kirara should be tiring her out.

"Yeah...he's right you know. Just spit it out." Sango said.

"Well then, as you guys have seen and experienced so far, I thought I'd give out a warning."

Miroku was all of a sudden serious. He got everyone's attention.

"Yeah?" they all said.

"I think you should grab hold onto someone's sleeve." he stated dumbly.

"UGH!" There was a loud scream that could've been clearly heard even through the monstrous winds the blizzard was blowing in.

Finally, as Kirara went through, Miroku said something when he was finally out of crack.

"Get ready, guys...this time, it could REALLY be the end of us!"

WHOOOOSH! The flash of illuminating light. The bright beam of something. The traveling warm wind of somewhere. The place was not clearly seen—YET.

Then, there was a scream. A scream that sounded worser than entering hell and seeing the DEMON LORD himself. A scream of anguish, pain, and most of all, a scream of DEATH.

"AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeee!"

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter better than the last. : Bows: If you didn't feel free to scream to your hearts content at me—in the REVIEWS! ;)
