My Feudal Fairytale

Chapter 5:

Deal

"I-I-I-" Inuyasha couldn't speak. This was the girl Kaede had talked about! But, she had died 50 years ago. She couldn't be here. That was impossible! Unless...

"I asked you a question. What is your name?" asked Kagome once again. She sighed and added, "I am a ghost, but I never died. I promise not to hurt you." Inuyasha still breathed with his heart beating at a rapid pace.

"I-I'm I-In-u-y-ya-sh-sha." He finally stuttered out. It's very hard to talk when you have a ghost in front of you. Especially if the one in person was a princess and claims not to hurt you. Plus they died 50 years ago.

"Inuyasha?" asked Kagome, floating slightly closer to him. Inuyasha noticed her coming closer and scrambled up and tried to get away. His violet eyes were locked onto the ghost princess.

"Please!" cried Kagome, "I need your help!" What was happening? A ghost was begging him to help her.

"W-Why?" Inuyasha finally choked out. None of this made sense!

"Please! I never died. I'm under a spell, I need you to help me break it!" All of her words just whizzed by him. It wasn't possible! A ghost needed his help?

"W-what f-for?" asked Inuyasha. That was a dumb question. Usually, in fairytales of course, if someone breaks a spell, then something good will happen. But Inuyasha did not know what yet.

"I need someone to find my body," Inuyasha choked when he heard that sentence. A body. How gross.

"No! Not like that!" cried Kagome, "like I said, I never died. I'm under a spell. It has turned me into a ghost and I need someone to deliver me my body. It hasn't aged or anything! Or else my ghost form should have changed!" She sounded desperate. Inuyasha softened slightly. He felt sorry for this girl. His anger burned up again. She was the one that suffered the most. Some idiot felt that if they didn't get to see her wedding, then nobody should. How selfish.

"I'll help you," Inuyasha told her, anger taking over his fear. Kagome smiled at him. A happy smile. Almost hopeful. She had waited fifty years for someone to come. And now he had come.

"Thank-you!" cried Kagome, wanting to throw her arms around him. But she couldn't. He would probably freak out and then he would leave. "There are many entrances that I can't go through. Only the living can. Only you can." It sounded as though she was telling a prophecy. "I've wandered the castle for so long. I even lived here once. But I can't get everywhere. You are the only one that can help."

"All right," Inuyasha took deep breaths through his mouth. It was too foul smelling to breathe through his mouth. "Let's get started."

(PAGE BREAK)

"This is getting us nowhere!" grumbled Inuyasha, plopping down on the dirty floor. "We've been walking for a fucking half hour!"

"Well, sorry, but like I said, I've searched everywhere, but I can't find anything. I can't touch anything," Kagome started naming. "How do you think that I feel? I haven't been able to eat anything in so many years. I haven't been able to feel. I haven't had anyone to talk to. I haven't been able to change my wardrobe! That's torture for a girl!" Kagome cried ghostly tears. As they touched the floor, they vanished.

"Keh," Inuyasha mumbled. "Deal with it. If I fail then you'll stay like this." Kagome couldn't believe what she was hearing. A half hour ago, he was willing to help her. Now he had lost all his sympathetic feelings.

"Well excu-u-u-u-u-u-u-se me. You're the one who said that you'd help. If you hate helping me so much, then you can just leave!" Kagome angrily replied.

"Fine!" yelled Inuyasha back. "I'll just leave and you can stay a ghost forever!" As Kagome heard those words, all hope vanished. Perhaps in another fifty years she should hope, just to have the same thing happen again.

Inuyasha stomped to the exit. Exaggerating his leave, he took slow, steps, announcing his leave. He was almost out, but he got blasted back into a wall.

"What the hell?" yelled Inuyasha, getting up and rubbing his head in pain. "What in all hells happened?"

Kagome thought. "There are many spells and enchantment on this castle. Trying to escape is probably one of them." She thought a bit more. "You could help me find my body. Then maybe I could help you." Kagome looked over to Inuyasha.

"There's no way I'm helping out any wench ghost," Inuyasha settled. Kagome was really getting tired of his attitude.

"Look," began Kagome, "I don't want to work with you, and it's obvious that you don't want to work with me. But if I find my body I think that every spell would be lifted. Don't you want to get out of here? I sure do. I haven't left this place in fifty years. I want to feel Inuyasha." Kagome told him. "I want to eat. I want to touch. I really want to get out of these clothes!" She laughed, it seemed as though she had finally lost it.

"And it's all up to you! You could make a stupid decision, not wanting to help me. But then you'd still be stuck with me both ways. You'd die Inuyasha. There's nothing to eat here. Then none of us will ever be able to leave," Kagome made it sound he was stupid. "You could make a better decision. By coming with me, you might be able to leave here. I can leave here. If you break the spell, you don't have to have anything to do with me! I just want to get out of here!" Kagome looked over at Inuyasha who still had his back turned.

"Keh," Inuyasha answered. "Fine, but the only reason I'm helping you is because I want to get out of here too." Kagome smiled. She could be so persuasive at times.

Inuyasha thought about what he had just said. "But let's make a deal." He suddenly added. "I help you get your body, you help me escape. Deal?"

"It's a deal."
